the Free State party, the better it viii be
forit. Wewant thorough regeneration,
and publication of the party. We want
our greater, grander, nobler. and more
glorious party " to go back to the princi-
pies of the Big Spring Platform, with
such alterations, notifications and addi-
tons as the times require. This party
should be great Conservative organiza-
ton. Conservatism is the only rational
ism, and the only one which can possibly
accomplish anything substantial.
We are in favor. above all things else,
of making Kansas Free State, by any
honorable or fair means through which it
can be accomplished. Radicalism profess
es to aim at the same object, but it must
- done by just one process, and no other.
They prefer to rebel against the General
Government, rather than to have the great
end secured by other means than those
specified.
We want ,oIite State, and want the
word s0hite in the Constitution, wherever
it can be conveniently stuck in. 1t is a
good word, and viii not spoil the looks of
any Constitution. We want no negro vo-
ting. aud no mixing of white and black
children in school. And We want ne
groes, both bond and free, to be prohibi-
ted from coming or being brought here to
reside. No negro equality, no negro suf-
frage, and no negroes! Some may call
this prohibition unjust, butit is never un-
just for people to protect themselves
The State of Missouri bounds our whole
Eastern border. She will be Free State
in less than ten years. Emancipation is
about ready to sweep the State. Let pro-
vision be made against flooding Kansas
with these negroes, and those of other
States. 1t is the policy of many of the
Slave States, to send their free negroes to
the Free States. We say deliver US from
of free negroes.
Right here, is an appropriate place to
insert set of Resolutions offered by Ben
jamin Wrigley, Esq :, of this County, in
the Convention which nominated the
State ticket under the Leavenworth Con-
Whereas, By the action of the Leaven-
opinion prevails among large portion OF
the people of this Territory, as well as of
the States, that it was the intention of the
said Convention to confer the rights OF
suffrage upon negroes and also to pro-
vide for the common education of white
and negro children in the same school
and, whereas, the prevalence of this opin-
ion has greatly injured the Free State
cadse here and elsewhere, and rendered
the passage of the Leconpton Constitu-
ton exceedingly probable, if not certain
therefore, .4...
Resolusd, That in the opinion of this
Convention, the Leavenworth Constitu-
ton does not in fact, nor was it the inten-
ton of the Convention which framed the
same, by any possible implication to con-
| fer the right of suffrage upon negroes, te
provide for the education of white and
negro children in the same schools.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of the
| Convention, negroes are not entitled te
vote under the Leavenworth Constitution
that the right of suffrage should be con-
ferred only upon free white male citizen:
Of the United States, and that seperate
and distinct schools should be provided
for the negro children that may be in ou
borders.
| Mr.. Wrigley attempted to make SONS
remarks in support of these resolutions
but the Republicans there assembled, I
great m any of whom had been member
j of the Constitutional Convention, ehoked
| him down, and tabled the Resolutions
there being only one vote in their favor
and that one, We presume, was Mr.
| Wrigley's. These Resolutions embody
principles which would come up to tht
standard of the Conservative party. They
have received the seal of genuineness-
the condemnation of the Ultra Radicals
liz. the Republicans.
! We are told that paper is being circu
lated for signatures throughout this Coun
ty, calling for q mass meeting at Troy, OF
the 10Th instant, to organize the Repub
lican party. If a Conservative Ere,
State party is to be organized in Kansas
the first move must be made somewhere
and why not in Doniphan County
Then, in order to start the ball, we sug
j gest that, at as early day as convenient
mass meeting of the Conservative Fret
State men of Doniphan County, be he'll
at Troy. or some other point convenien
to the people of the entire County, to con
suit upon the formation of a party of tn
kind suggested, 20 appoint County Cen
trail Committee, and Committee to cor
respond with Conservative men through
out the Territory. This is the only wa.
J in which Free State men can maintain tn
ascendency in Kansas. The organization
of Republican Party will drive off 9
J least half the Fres State strength, whicl
would be retained by the Free State pal
ty. We have no fears for this county
The people here are right. If a move
ment can be made, Conservative part
could sweep the Territory.-caTryin
every County, with perhaps a. few exeeT
t tons. Shall we have mass meeting
) Let US hear from the people J
