the ticket nominated at Topeka, and ex-
claims, "Tben for a greater, grsnder,
noblcr. and more glorious party!" The
Leavenworth Times echoes, Then for q
greater, grander. nobler, and more glori-
ous partyl" The Atchison Champion
re-echos. "Then for greater, grander.
nobler, and more glorious party 20 So
say we. We first want the English Swim
die sent sky high, and "Then for a
greater, grander, nobler. and more glori-
ous party !" But here we differ from the
papers above mentioned. They simply
mean by that d" greater, grander, nobler,
and moregIorious party" the Republican
party, which, while they take all the
credit to themselves for every good act
towards Kansas, were brought into exis-
tence and have lived upon Kansas. and
nothing else. Democrats, Americans,
Free Sellers, and men of all parties, have
united in Kansas, in favor of Freedom,
and are "dead set f" against her admis-
sion as Slave State. The Republican
leaders in the Territory think they have
these men all straight, and can raise their
banner, and have them follow in its lead.
But they are mistaken, A majority Of
these men, as firmly opposed as they are
to slavery, will never unite with the Re-
publican party. but viii rather go back
to their old party ties.
The "greater. grander. nobler. and
more glorious party" which we are in
favor Of, is the Free State party-such as
it was in days Of peril, when all Free
State men pulled together, without regard
To former party associations. 1t has been
plain, for nine months past, that the Free
State party, as now organized, is hum
bug, il we must use the expression
While Wings, Democrats Americans,
Republicans, Conservatives and Ultra
Radicals have united together, it has
generally been found, upon footing up the
results of elections. that the Ultra Radi-
Gals have secured the Offices and when
they have not done so, they have raised
louder howl against those Free State
men who have. than they ever raised
against the Pro-Slavery party. Look, for
instance, at the present Territorial Legis-
lature. Th@e were just enough Radicals
there to retard business but as general
thing, better body of men could not be
selected in the Territory. They took the
Government out of Pro-Slavery hands,
and found it as corrupt as corruption
could be. 1t was utterly impossible for
them to right all things during session
limited to forty days. They did the best
they conld, and they also committed some
blunders. Is it not fresh in the memory
of every man in the Territory, what a
how'll the Radicals raised against this body
furnishing capital for the enemies of
the cause, and even inducing many Free
State men to believe that they had been
betrayed. This was done by those who
are seeking to build up q Republican par
ty in Kansas.
On the other hand. the Radicals had
control of the late Constitutional Con-
vention. They were principally distin-
guished for their contempt of the word
pkite. Their Constitution, and the ticket
nominated under it, was not beaten, only
because the people did not think enough
of the affair to turn out and beat them,
thus leaving it in the hands of few Of
its most ardent friends.
These men who are seeking to organize
a Republican party in Kansas, are the
ones who have been opposed TO doing
aught which could benefit Kansas. They
opposed going into the election in 0cto-
Der. and they opposed voting in January.
They are not yet done abusing those who |
did vote at the latter election. We can
not divine their reason for this, unless it |
was because the Kansas question might
thus be settled, and the food upon which
the Republican party lives taken away.
The sooner these Ultraists get out of
the Free State party, the better it viii be
for it. We want thorough regeneration
and publication of the party. We want
our greater, grander, nobler, and more
glorious party I" to go back to the prin-
ciples of the Big Springs Platform, with
such alterations, notifications, and addi-
tons as the times require. This party !
should be a 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
and fair means through which
it can be accomplished. Radiealism pro-
esscs to aim at the same object, but, it
must be done by Just one process, and no
other. They prefer to rebel against the
