CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER" &c.-The
Leavenworth Herald copied our article
against the Apportionment, and, taking
it for granted that we were going to side
with the miserable faction of which it is
the mouth-piece. pronounced the ChieI
an honest, out-spoken, able Republican
paper. When it discovered, a few days
afterwards, that it had "cackled before
the egg came," the Chief dwindled into
little Abolition sheet up in White
Cloud, and its editorials were twaddle
We felt bad, when a Democratic paper
commenced patting us on the back; but
when the twaddle came, we felt all right
again-we always have a clear conscience
when Democratic editors are displeased
with our course-especially those editors
imported from Free States, to aid in ma
king Kansas a Slave State. We wish
the editor of the Herald no worse luck in
his labors than he met with in Ohio
away up in COlumbiana County. When
he opened his batteries there, Columbiana
was a strong and reliable Democratic
County, and the State of Ohio was De.
mocratic at least half the time. lie
continued his labors until Columbiana
was overwhelmingly and irretrievably
Republican, and the State Of Ohio pretty
much ditto-then he came to Kansas
We hope he will stay here. and write
If he does. we have no fears for Kansas
If he can't make it pay. and will just
hint as much. the Republicans will pay
him handsomely to keep on just as he is

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS:
Thursday, {: f: September I, 1859,

WARS IN THE WIND?-The st. Louis
Republican has suddenly come out very
decidedly in favor of the admission Of
Kansas under the Wyandotte Constitu-
ton, which it has no doubt will be rati-
fed by the people. by large majority.
The Republican boots at the idea of there
being any serious opposition to it in Con-
gress, and confesses that, with several
slight exceptions. the Constitution is IN
Objectionable. This is certainly cold
comfort to the patriotic disorganizers in
Congress, who are endeavoring to defeat
the Constitution. What does it mean
The Republican is an organ of Senator
Douglas; and, considering its recent Of
ishness in regard to the Constitution, its
sudden change oftone now, indicates an
intention of Douglas and his followers, to
take stand in favor of Kansas. This
probability is strengthened by the fact
that Douglas home organ, the Chicago
Times, has taken ground in favor of the
admission of Kansas. If the Douglasites
take that course, our prospects are bright.
The Republican expresses its confident
belief that no Missourian in Congress will
oppose the admission of Kansas, even if
her population should fall few thousand
short of the requirement of the English
Bill. But the Republican may be mista-
ken there. Senators Green and Polk,
during the last Congress, showed them
selves too willing tools of the President,
to justify any dependence in their aid; and
Captain Craig wheeled about too sudden
ly, with an oath friendly to Kansas still
fresh upon his lips. to warrant any con-
fidence in him. Nevertheless, Kansas
may be admitted. as all of the abOve-na-
med Honorables were left in the lurch, on
the Lecompton question. We hope it
may turn out as the Republican predicts.

KEEP 1T RoLuNG.-From all parts oil
the County. we hear that the enthusiasm
is increasing for the Constitution. Dem
ocrats, as well as Republicans. are going
for it, and the Democratic strength will
by no means be thrown against it. Men
have only to read the document, to he
convinced that it is good one. The
Democratic fuglemen have resorted to the
meanness Of destroying or suppressing all
the copies they can lay hands on, to keep
people from reading them. When you
hear a man pitching and raving against
the Constitution, and charging it with all
kinds of monstrosities, you may "bet your
bottom dollar" that he hasn't read it.

Cheering Signs.

We received call, few days since,
from an old friend, who some time ago
concluded that he could not stomach Re-
publicanism, negro equality. and all that;
and therefore had taken to voting the
Democratic ticket. He informed us that
his eyes were opened, and that he is now
with the Republicans. The white sui
frage clause in the Constitution satisfied
him of the falsity of the negro equality
charge; and the vote of Democratic
Delegate against making Kansas a Free
State, and the vote of the entire Demo
cratic Delegation in favor Of continuing
Slavery in Kansas for one year after her
admission, convinced him that the Dem
ocratic party of Kansas is but the old
Pro- Slavery, Border Ruffian party in
disgnise-and in addition to this, their
boiling from the Convention, and their
miserable efforts against the ratification
of the Constitution, have completely dis
gusted him. He would prefer some 9th
or party to the Republicans, like ourself
but in Kansas, it is Democratic or Re-
publican-Democracy, here. means Sla-
very, and Republicanism means Free
State; therefore, he must unite with the
Republicans. He told US of number Of
persons in his locality, some of them in
fluential men. who had become lukewarm,
or had been led astray like himself, but
who have determined to come back to
the old landmarks. and to use their in
Guence to reclaim others.
We hear Of number of persons, who
we're first induced to unite with Demo
Gratis upon local issues. and were then
gradually drawn into the Democratic
ranks, who have discovered that they
were duped, and are returning to the faith.
In Doniphan, where there was not q
Republican vote cast at the June election,
we notice that they have organized Free
Labor Club. If the Club practice what
they profess, they cannot vote the Demo
cratic ticket. We notice the names Of
several staunch Free State men in the
proceedings of the Club. We think the
local schemes down there, to aid the De-
mOcracy. have exploded, and that hence
forth men will vote their sentiments.
The skies are Frightening everywhere.
In this County. with an honest registry.
and thorough Republican organization,
we can win the day by decisive major
ity. The Democrats only succeeded. in
the last election, by specializing schemes;
but such measures will not hold the same
men together for two elections in success
sion. Then, organize at once, and we
will give the Constitution big majority,
and elect our entire County and Legisla-
tive ticket, in November, to say nothing
of the several hundred majority we will
roll up for Parrot

~ PALUDAL MIAsM.-The Chemists have
long been laboring to detect this snbtle
poison, and determine what il is. DIR.
Aver, of Lowell, has at length succeeded.
He finds it to be an ETHEREAL exhalation Of
vegetable decey, which is evolved only in
the presence and by the assistance Of wa
ter. Its absorption through the lungs
into the blood is the sole cause of the bill
liary arrangements which result in the
Intermittent Fevers, so affecting and so
prevalent in our climate. An antidote
for this insidious venom, is one of the
great desiderata in medicine, and the Doc
tor feels sure that he has found one which
not only neutralizes but expels it COM
pletely from the the system. 1t is put up
