But this it will be seen that no movement can
be made towards changing the constitution, I'M
til after 1864 and not then unless, " two thirds
of the. members :" of each branch of the Leg
islature " concur " in recommending such
change As the first Legislature under this con-
stitution is to meet in 1858, and only "every
two years" thereafter, it is apparent that no
alteration can be " recommended before 1856,
and Convention cannot be "called " until
the Z" next regular session." which will be in
1868. Then is to follow the election of dele
gates, and then the holding of the Convention,
and then the report of its doings to the next
Legislature, which will meet in 1870. And,
therefore, by its own terms, the constitution is
unahcrable until 1870, even though every man,
woman and child in Kansas desire its altera-
ton.
Nor is this all, or its worst feature. Not
only can no part of it be altered before 1870 6.
but even when the Convention shall be duly
called, elected, and in session, it provided that
" no alteration shall be made affecting the rights
Of property in the ownership Of slapes" All
other provisions may be altered. But the
right of property in slaves (which in the
previous clause, is declared to be " before and
higher than any constitutional sanction us
placed forever beyond the reach of the people,
the Legislature, and all Constitutional Conven-
tions And the people are not only to cote to
abide by this unalterable guaranty of eternal
Slavery, but to soear to abide by and uphold it
/" under the penalties of perjury under the ter
ritorial laws"
And this Infamous instrument of tyranny is
endorsed by a " democratic - President, by near
ly or quite all the :" democratic " papers in New
Hampshire and is expected to be forced through
a " democratic Congress by Federal patron
age, and upon the people Of Kansas by Federal
bayA Is. And for resisting and honestly labor
ind hwart this damnable scheme Of pro-sla-
very %espotism, the democratic heads of Gov
ernorWalker and Stanton are now rolling in
the dust
Republicans of New Hampshire Place
these things before your Democratic heighbors
and ask them if they will or can uphold party
leaders and party papers, which aim at nothing
short of forcing the institution of slavery for.
ever upon new State, against the will of nine.

tions. Caveats, Specifications, Assignments
and all papers or drawings for patents, are ex
ecuted in the best manner, and every detail o.
