NEW DEAocRAr1c MOVEMENT. - The
Kansas Democracy have issued call for
Territorial Convention. to come of in 9
sh0rt time, The object Of this is doubt
lsss 70 cook up something to add strength

snppOrs. A friend who lately made q
Tip down the river, has given Us some
issus which he happened to catch up.
Es stopped At Atchison over night, while
Court was in session. A number Of Law.
gers were in attendance and a. he ives
sisting in the Hotel, reading . paper. he
overheard two Of them in conversation.
His curid - being aroused by some
words which be overheard, he was indu.
csd to listen, and caught the substance Of
their plans.
Thsir topic was the re organization Of
che Democratic party, against the Repub-
lieans. One Of them appeared to be
posted in regard 70 the politics Of the
northern Counties, and the other, who
was evidently not SO well posted, was
asking him questions. He first asked
hsw the people Of Brown generally stood.
The reply was. BLACK Republican as

the same. Then DOniphan was asked
about. Rather on the Republican order"
was the answer. After inquiring about q
number Of other Counties, the two wor-
thisS came TO conclusions something like
the following They must give up the
Slavery issue-that was fixed fact. for
they could do nothing with it. They
mnst take decided grounds for Free State,
and adopt . name to strike the fancy Of
all the Free State men who could not re-
sign themselves gracefully to Republican
ism. In short, they must get up party
a. nearly like the Republican party as
they possibly could--that is, they must

outside of the Territory. But withal, it
must be considered as Democratic par
y, and all must work silently to prejudice
thu people in favor of it. Gotten up on
this plan, favoring Free State doctrines,
and loud cry raised against the Black
Republicans, they should stand pretty
good chance for success q
Such is the plan of the Democracy.
Il is evident that some new scheme is in
process of Matching, and we warn all hon
est men against them. It is not long since
they held Territorial Convention at
Leavenworth, at which. it was amour
csd, the Democratic party was fully
organized. But it missed the desired
ehsct-the people did not rally as had
been anticipated. The Republicans have
called a Convention at Osawatomie, on
the 18th Of May; and now the Democrats
call q Convention. to moro thoroughly
organize their party, to come off at
Tscnmseh. on the 10th of May. That is,
Just about a week before the Republican
Convention. They will spring some trap,
profess to go in for Free State. and then
howl it over the Territory. that they were
the first to move in the matter. To help
them still further, Strong-sfort is being
made towards holding Free State Con-
rention at Big Springs, in which some
who are in the interest of the Democracy
take deep concern. They hope thus to
divide the opposition into two factions,
and render them an easy prey. We think
they viii fail in this, as we believe the
general sentiment is in favor Of going to
0saWatomie We think that Conven.
ton can organize on a plan to meet thc
approval Of every Free State man in
Kansas. At least, let us wait and see
