Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1858-09-23
Kansas.

The Kansas question, which has so long
disturbed the country, is settled. The peo-
pie of that Territory have deciced by their
vote on the I'd inst, that they do not de-
sire admission into the Union as State
for The present. They have decided to
continue their Territorial form of govern
ment until they have sufficient population
to entiile them to representative in Con-
gress. This settles the question-there is
now no Lecompton, nor pti-Lecompton-
Democrats have nothing to differ about
the party is units the old Democratic
party again, and as such must triumph ev-
erywhere.
The above is copied verbatim from the
last Stark County Demoerat-and is but
another rebash OF the Leeompton cry
throughout the land, that the Kansas ques-
ton is settled'-and that "the people of
at distracted Territory have decided to
stay out OF the Union" Dc, DC. Now, We
take 1t upon ourscif to say, that there Is
not one man of them that believes word
Of ii. The wish is only father To the tho'l.
They all know that the Kansas question
is mol settled Tue late vote there, upon
the English bribery bill gives an over
whelmlhg majority against making Kansas
Slave Siate-ace knoaO, and they know,
and every body knows, that Kansas Is
ready and ANXIOUS to become Free State :
Have demanded it; are now demanding
it; will continue to demand it; have beg
ged and plead to be admitted as Free
State: But they have been cheated, out
ragged, swindled out of it by Slave hold
ers Democratic Administration.
The English bribery bill, like the vote
on the Lecompton Constitution was sired
by the same evil spirit. What the people
wanted and wished to vote upon fairly,
was coupled in each case with what they
did not want, and they were obliged TO
vote for both or not vote at all. In this
Democratic Swindle, if the people of Kan
sas voted against the Land bribe for Slave
ry, and against making Kansas Slave
State with $4,000 people, then it should
be understood that they did not wish to
become Free State until they had 100
900 people! In this rascally, sneakin and
gouging way, the people had to vote on
the English bill, or have Slavery fastened
on them forever. And now, to cap the
climax of rascality, the Washington Union
has raised the cry, that Kansas has voted
to stay out of the Union-that the ques-
tion is settled, and they do not want to
to be admitted-and Buchanan's lickspit-
tie editors of the North have joined the
chorus, and are yelping the same false and
slanderous story. Now We call upon all
the friends Of truth, justice and humanity
to cram down the throats of these hirelings
their false and slanderous charges against
the outraged people of Kansas. No doubt
these cringing hireling sycophants are sick
and tired OF this Kansas question, and
would be glad to have it settled-But it is
NOT settled and they k7aow it. II cannot
be settled, and it dare not be settled until
Kansas is Free and Sovereign State!-
Mark that.
And We call upon all the friends of Free
dom and neutrality-suspicious. and De-
mocrats; upon all parties and all classes,
to demand of their candidates for Congress,
that when Kansas applies for admission, in
conformity with the Constitution of the
United States that she be immediately ad-
naitted-O. Repository.
