White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1859-09-15

Crane, let of some Of their pent-up feel
ings at lows Point, last Wednesday eve
ning-the same day the former two didn't
speak here. From what we have heard OF
the speeches, they must have been wsighty
with ''gas." rich in ignorance, and sub
lime in bombast.
The first speaker was the taker Of Alb
clifton "skulps." But at the outset he
had the honesty TO acknowledge what
everybody knew-thst he hadn't the abil-
ity to oppose the Constitution. He then
boosted that the Republicans were afraid
to meet him in argument Jerusalem !
Why, the Republicans deem it unneces-
ssry to meet him. All they have to do,
is to set their women on him. especially
If it be watermelon season One other
thing the Captain ssid-that in Ohio, if
negro would go to the polls and make
oath that there was more white than negro
blood in his veins, be could vote. We
believe there ia some truth in that !; but
one thing the vslorous Captain forgot to
state. The Constitution of Ohio was
framed BY Democrats. That party had
more than two-thirds of the members Of
the Convention. Next time, don't forget
these little particulars.
The next speaker was Beebe-one of the
Beebes we read about in the Banner Of
Liberty. He acknowledged that he had
not read the Constitution as he ought to
have done. This was no doubt true, not
only Of himself, but of most Of those who
are opposing it. lie said he would rather
have Kansas q Slave State than have free
negroes here. We have no doubt he
would be glad to have Kansas g Slave
State under any circumstances. This is
the man whom the Dispatch calls a thor
ough free State man. We do-not believe
there is one of the family but would leave
a good dinner to catch runaway niger.
He then wept for the poor Indian. He
thought the Constitution was in violation
of the Organic Act; for that allowed In
dams to hold Slaves, and the Constitution
prohibited it. There it is again. When
every objection of these Democrats is
whitfield to a point, the sticking place
seems to be. that Slavery is not allowed
in Kansas. Mr.. Beebe pretends to be
lawyer. He must, then, be very ignorant
or very dishonest. What has the Organic
Act to do with the Constitution Z? 1t was
enacted to serve in the place of Consti-
tuition for the Territory and as soon as
Kansas is admitted, her Constitution takes
the place of the Organic Act. Upon the
same ground, law of the Legislature
might be called illegal, because it does
away with law of some former Legisla-
ture. Yes, these Democrats have great
love for the Indians, and still contend for
the right of pack of dirty redskins to
hold Slaves, notwithstanding the people
of Kansas have repeatedly declared
that they will have no Slavery here
White people are to rule here-not Indi-
ans or niggers. He called Massachusetts,
a poor, benighted, distracted State. and
termed the Republican members of the
Constitutional Convention, set of Jack
asses. He spoke Of the difficulties which
arose among the members of the Conven-
ton, but forgot to say that every difficulty
was caused by the Democratic members.
He said Senator Seward had gone to Eu-
rope. to get money to buy votes in Kan
sas. To buy the Herald of Freedom
and the Topeka Tribune, eh y He said
that the Constitution gave q man ia Eu-
rope the privilege to own land in Kansas
His definition to the word alien, was q
person living in Europe Terrible, amt
it. that man in Europe can own land
in Kansas? These Democrats pretend to
be such great friends to foreigners, yet
they are continually bowling because for
eigners are allowed certain privileges.
Some of them are grumbling because the
Constitution allows foreigners to vote sf-
ter declaring their intention to become
citizens. So much for lawyer Beebe's
speech. The Dispatch says he came here
to practice law but we predict that If
things go pretty heavily against the De-
mocrscy. this Fall, he will conclude that
the law business is not very profitable
here.
As to Cranes speech. we are left in the
dark. We know no more about the
speech than we do about Crane himself.
We are glad to hear that the speeches had
a good eHect-they made q number of
votes for the Constitution.
