Mr.. Surveyor Vandever DESERVING the
Republicans.

Poor Mr.. Surveyor Vande7er Is
continually getting himself in hot
water. lie is charged with making
fraudulent surveys and when he writes
letter attempting to explain away the
charges, he winds himself up in webb
from which it is impossible to escape
and now, we learn that he has made
another beaur pas.
In his speech at this city, as we have
before remarked, he abandoned the
Philadelphia Platform and attempted
to stand upon democratic planks but
his ayowaI was made in such manner
that the Gazette found hole to creep
through and to sustain its statement,
that he was opposed to that exploded
humbug, Popular Sovereignty" But
now it is an impossibillty longer to
DENY that Mr.. Surveyor Nandever, re-
publican candidate for Congress has
deliberately kicked down that rotten
and worm eaten institution the Phila-
dclphia Platform, and has jumped the
fence and come down square upon the
democratic plank Of Popular Sovcr-
eighty.
In the speech made by him at Delhi,
in Delaware county, on the second day
of August inst.
In answer to a question from citizen
whether if elected to IA seat in Congress. he
would vote for the admission OF a State into
The Union with slave constitution provided
the people had by :. direct vote adopted and
approved it, M Fo,,d,otr sad be eotli
eote for tie admission Of a slaet state prort
ded il ,ras lie IRISH Of tie peopte to come int
! tie Cntoa nth stare constitution.
We really sympathize with the re
publican party upon the fact that then
candidate for Congress has deserted
them; but we inform Mr.. Nandever
once Tor all, that he cannot come int
! the ranks Of the democratic party
until he does works meet for reEcn-
lance and pays back the money re
ceived by him for his fraudulent sur
vcys in Wapcllo county.
What is the Gosette going to d.
about this matter! Will 1t support

OF all tue small dirty mean tricks to
which the Gazette has resorted to in
lure it. political opponents, the para
graph in its issue of Monday in rcla-
ton to J. Nj. Reid, the democratic can
didate for Register Of the Land Office,
is the most despics bic.
The Editors Of the Gazette having
received through the Post Office and
opened, paper which was intended
for another person, found an article
marked out for inspection and the fol-
lowing remarks upon the margin In
pencil, Compliments off. NJ. Reid.
These facts are made the basis of an
article against Mr.. Reid, which be-
trays most plainly the inherent weak
ness Of party which is thus obliged
to scrapc up such petty charges as the
only grounds OF opposition to demo
cratic candidates for office.
First clear up the charges against

Tho Defeat of the English Propoiion-A
II tie plain talk

The first advices from Kansas IN re-
gard to the election on the second of
August-being almost wholly from
strong republican republican precincts
left, as we rem .rked at that. time, the
result somew hat doubtful.
News, subsequently received, settles,
we suppose, beyond doubt the fact,
that the Lccompton Constitution, has
been rejected by the people of Kansas
1t has been urged and claimed by
some of our contemporaries who 10 com
pany with us have sustained the Adj
ministration, that the chief and fore
most cause of the rejection Of the
English Bill by the people Of Kansas
Is the in ability and unwillingness of the
territory to assume the expenses entail
ed upon them by State government
This we would willingly believe and
urge upon the attention of our readers,
if it were true; but we consider it
worse than useless, and do not believe
that it will add one iota to the strength
of the Administration or to the demo-
cratic party, to state SO palpable an
absurdity.
1t is useless to disguise the fact that
although not surpriscd-we are dis
appointed at the result of the election,
and the only way, under the circum-
stances, is to deal frankly with the
matter. The Lecompton Constitution
with the English proposition was re-
jected by the people of Kansas, not
chiefly, because they were unwilling
to assume the expenses Of state gov
ernment," but because the provisions
Of the Constitution in relation to slave
~ were Objectionable and obnoxious.
we were always of the opinion
and we have as yet seen no reason to
change it-that inasmuch as the peo-
pie OF the territory would have an op-
portunity at once to alter their Consti.
tution-it was for their interest and
for the interest oftheir country at large
to accept the Lecompton Constitution
That thus the difficulties in the terri
tory might be confined within thei,
own borders and Withdrawn from the
arena OF national politics where thew
never properly belonged.
We therefore regret, looking to the
interests both Of the people OF Kansa:
and the entire country, that the cleo.
ton has resulted in the defeat of the
English proposition; but it is useles.
