duced an instrument, which, without being

Because it is SO explicit, the Democrats In

We have been assured, repeatedly,
through the organs of the Democratic party,
that the Kansas striio was "oVer, ana
"sottl,d." that all they sought was the
peaccablo admission of the state with or
without Slavery. as its inhabitants might
choose. Although tho carly history of the
Territory was IA series of armed violence and
outrage, instgatcd by the Democratic Lead
ers. they have, nevertheless. insisted that
having once elected a ConyentiOn and
framed u Constitution, the settlers, in right
of their popular sovereignty, were entitled
to admission into the Union. Tho Con.
vcutiun has been held. uni the Constitution
framed and now the Democrats unani-
mously oppose il by every means in tboir
power. threatening to oppose 1t at the polls,
aud if unsuccessful there. to transfer the
strirc to the Halls of Congress.
| Be it so. Tho issue is ono of their own
seeking. This uew " Kansas ugitaton" is
created by Democrats alone, and solely for
parti2an ends. The course is in glaring
contradiction with their past professions bur
when. in regard to Kansas. has it been 9th
