To any one not Cunycrsant with the details OF
Kansas politics, the present position of that ter.
ritory may very easily be understood. There is
the Topeka government, the leavcuworth gov
ernment and the Lecompton government, rs they
are respectively designated from the title of the
different constitutions under which the orgaui-
cations were effected, yet notwths landing the
machinery OF a state has been SO frequently
constructed, the promcthean fire is wanting to
give notuality to the moulded elements.
BY common consent the old Topeka orgon-
zation has been withdrawn from the arena OF
contest. Once the ward and watchword, the
rallying call and battle cry of the treemcn of
Kansas, it now sleeps the sleep of the brave
and lives in the hearts and memories OF those
who risked everything in its behalf
The Lea, enworlh government was originated
with view OF establishing new organization
that might be free from the prriudicts which
existed against the very word "Topeku." With
II the people Of Kansas were determined on
meeting the Lecompton issue in case that en-
bodiment OF violence and wr ng was forced up
on them. But as the Lecompton swindle Is to
be submitted TO popular vote, the people ol
Kansas, ever ready TO sacrifice to the public
veal have resolved on keeping all governments
in abeyance till they have planted the last nail
in the coiin of the Lecompton Villoiny. To
the English bill are all eyes directed and for
the election under it, all men prepare Talk
10, of land nor Of gold to Those who have been
nurturcd in the western cradle OF liberty. They
know we'll the tyranny to which territory may
be 81 biected, but they viii endure any official
rule rather than baScly succumb to 0at which
Involves sacrifice of honor, principle and
manhood. In tie voluminoUs folds o the Eng
lsh bill the Lecompton viIlainy may b. deity
hid, but the very children OF Kansas mmuSN
the hypocuucal enactment, and expose the cvi
that if not eradicaed, will blight the hope,
Of a young and lustrous commonwealth, Th,
people of Kansas are unit, we might almoS
say, in their opposition to the Lccompton CON
s,tulion They know that, as a territory, they
must and will b. under the rule of drhaSed OIL
cials, OF corrupt judiciary, and perhaps cl th,
tread of troops about their very hcarlhsoneS; We
this they viii endure rather than submit to tn
terms Of the English bill, and tor that justice
which is their due, and for that vudlcatior
which is their night, they will appeal to tn
jhstice and honor of an American Congress tha
shall spring fresh from the womb of the peop
of the United States, High among the name
Of revolutionary patriots stands ia. Ci him
who when approached by the emissaries OF
corrupt crown with huueyed words anl burn,sh
ed gold gave back the reply, 81 am poor in
deed, but, poor as am, the king of England ha
not wealth enough TO nuke me b'uuy M
country" So speaks Kansas. Her people al
moor and weak but tyranny has not wealth no
power enough to nuke them obate iot o. yitl
an ioia OF what they believe TO b. light,
their opposition to the English by,he, they a,
firm as the enduring rock They wilt bury
deep in the grave OF oblivion, AMI with calm
ness and resolution look for the reward thu
must at last repay SO much perseverance an
such unwavering Integrity Missouri Dtn.
