Repudiating the Central Organ.


Editors of Republican presses in other
parts of the Territory, who considered il
perfectly proper for the Lawrence Repub-
Ecdn to Willy others who were not in the
Republican ranks, have suddenly Weakened
to the fact that this personal warfare is
damaging the party, and prophetic of de-
feat to their political aspirations. Il
makes all the difference whose OK is
gored.
Even the Atchison Champion, which
usually blows hot or cold with Thatcher
rebukes him thus
certainly one of the most unjust, inju-
dicious and impolitic articles l have ever
seen in paper claiming any position as
an impartial and leading paper, was az
article in the Lawrence Republican of last
week, in relation to the coming nomina.
ton of Delegate to Congress. Its injus
tice is so palpable and its ipjudicious pub.
LEGATION so apparent, that l cannot let il
pass without entering my earnest protest
against such publication in any Repub.
lican journal. We do not profess any
preference for Mr.. Parrott as the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress; we confess
that there are others in the Republican
ranks whom we would prefer. But oul
personal preference for men, We hold it tc
be truism in political ethics, should
never be permitted to bias our judgment
to such degree as to lead us, on the very
eve of an important Republican conven-
ton, to publish an article rejecting severe
ly upon gentleman who may be its nomi'
nee. The common impulses of justice
and right would oppose such course
and the considerations of party success
should imperatively forbid it.
This quarrelling among men about favor
ties; this jealousy. this envy, this petty,
despicable, odious spirit of rivalry among
prominent Republicans. must cease, or the
sooner we give up the fight, the sooner we
acknowledge ourselves beaten, the sooner
we surrender the flag of Freedom and
Free Kansas into the hands of an united
and INSCRIPTIONS enemy, the better .
But if our best meu must be attacked by
the rancorous hatred OF envy; if every one
betakes himself to the task of writing
down, and speaking down, every other
member of the party whom he considers
in the way of his own political pre!erment;
if intolerance. and bigotry, and this stand.
aside /. am- holisr- than-thou policy is
pursued, the defeat of the Republican
party is as certain as the rising of the sun
TO- morrow"
The White Cloud Chief raps the Rspu5-
lican over the knuckles ss follows
"The Lawrence Republican contains an
exceedingly ill-grained article against
n. j. PARRoTT, on account of speech be
lately made in Lawrence-not for any
wrong sentiments or improper language
that occurred in the speech, for none are
charged against him-but because Parrot
is supposed to desire denomination to
Congress and the Republican, we pre-
sumo, fears that he may say or do some
thing which will have a tendency to render
him popular with the masses This
growing comes with q bad grace from the
R,publicdn, if the report be true, that its
editor is himself an aspirant for PARROTS
place. We have of late observed slurs
and inuendoes directed against Parrott, in
several papers of Southern Kansas. Now,
if the people of the Territory do not wish
to re- nominate him. his friends have no
desire to force him upon them but such
attacks and sectional appeals as have been
urged against him by some persons, will
not have the effect to ado much to the
popularity Of their side Of the question"
