GEORGE W. MCKOWN.
January l6, 1s58-f.
We clip the above advertisement from
that delectable sheet, the Star Of Empire,
and insert it gratis. The said George w.
McKown was one of the trainers of the Le-
compton Constitution and after rendering
his name Infamous in that body, he return
ed to his home in Missouri, became editor
of the above mentioned paper, and is now
engaged in selling negroes. OH OF the
same piece with the above is the following
from the same paper:
NOTICE
DY order of the Probate Court of Douglas coun-
d ty, K. T., will proceed to hire to the high
tst bidder in the city of Oxford, Johnson county,
KIT, near Little Santa Fe, Mo-, the first day
Of January next, four negro women, one negro
man and two negro boys, the property of Newton
Garry, deceased. Given under my hand this 18th
day of Dee, 1857.
December "a, 1851.
W. S. Wells was another member of that
Convention, and assisted in framing that
Constitution. And thus we might go
through the catalogue, and show to the world
that large majority of that body was made
up of Southern Negro Merchants and men
Of like calling. And yet Mr.. Buchanan
can stoop from his high position, put his
shoulder to the wheel side by side with
these Negro dealers, and assist them in urg-
ing their Infamous work through Congress.
How humiliating! how degrading! North
ern Democrats, too, are engaged in the
same work. Pretty business, and good COM
pany, truly Kanzas Leader.
We quote the above advertisements to
.gve our reades slight foretaste of Lecomp
tonism. 1t shows the truth of the old ad-
age, "Cons;ng events cast their shadows be-
FORE"
If the freemen of Kanzas desire that sales
and lettings like these shall become regular
business transactions in their midst, they
have only to lie still and "keep quiet," /"
when the Lecompton villainy is approved
by Congress, as it probably will be.
One thing more. The Rev. W. s. Wells
prefaces his notice with the words, ''By
order of the Probate Court of Douglas coun-
ty." Do our readers imagine that this or
der was made by the renegade reprobate
Rufian, DIR. John P. Wood, late Judge of
Probate for Douglas county? No, it was
issued, as we happen to know, by Hon. Jo-
siah Miller, the present Judge of that
Court and former editor of the Free State
newspaper, which was destroyed by the
Buffians at the same time with Brown 8
Herald.
This is one of the fruits of our partici-
patton in the October election-that Free
State men are compelled to dabble in this
black and bloody business, and act as clerks
or overseers of the Kanzas Man Market
How do our readers relish it? Our readers
are aware that THE News very reluctantly
acquiesced in the voting policy in October.
We offer these facts in justification of our
reluctance. But we have another reason
Tor calling attention to them, and that is,
that our late Legislature refused to pass the
Dill for the abolition of slavery in Kanzas,
and thereby relieve our Free State officials
irOm such odious contact with it as Judge
Miller felt that his position imposed upon
him. We should like to know who op
posed the bill for the abolition of slavery.
give Us THE YEAS AND NAYS.
