Tn. Rspublieau nornin,,ion.


Last week we briefly adverted to the
Republican State Convention, at Topeka,
on the Wednesday previous. We ex-
pressed ourself gratifed with the ticket,
but took occasion to regret the nomina'
ton of Mr.. n. F. CONWAY for Represen-
tative in Congress. That we may not be
misunderstood in this matter we wish to
add, that had we been delegate to that
convention, and the issue had been be-
tween NJ. F. Conway and o. E. Learnard,
as was the case, our vote and influence
should have been cast for Mr.. Conway,
not that we love the man, but would have
preferred him to his opponent. Mr.. Con-
way has his faults, and they are large
ones, yet he has very many redeeming
traits of character, for which we honor
him. He came to Kansas as early as
1854, and from that time to this has been
laboring, as he intended, to advance the
cause of freedom. Very frequently his
line .of policy and ours have differed,
nevertheless we are willing to award him
honesty of intention. We cannot COM
pliment him for the means employed to
bring about his nomination, yet we sup
pose they were about the same as any 9TH
er desperate man, bent upon a nomina-
ton, would resort to. We are glad to
say that, personally, he is not "intemper-
ate, drunken" on the contrary, nothing is
urged against him in this direction, save
the furnishing of Intoxicating drinks with
which to secure votes. Believing that
the genuine anti-slavery men of Kansas
will not be disgraeed by sending him to
Congress, we shall give him our support
in the election under the Wyandott Con-
stitution.
OF the balance of the ticket we need not
speak. DR.. ROBINSON has an abundance
OF executive ability, and will make pop
ular Governor. DR.. RooT, for Lieut.. Gov
ernor, is certainly an unobjectionable nom
ination to all parties. In short, we are
only disappointed to see the Republicans
of Kansas nominating so good ticket
1t shows that the Jim Lane school of pol
iticians are not to be tolerated under the
State government. We feel like clap
ping hands and rejoicing over the result.
But one thing more remains for the party
to do to redeem itself, and that is to send
SAMUEL c. PoMERoY and FREDERICK P.
STANTON to the United States Senate. II
this could be accomplished, the Republi-
cans of the nation would not have cause
to weep when the State Constitution Of
Kansas is sent into Congress but if Lane
and Vaughan, or H. P. johnson, are tc
disgrace US in that body, then it would
be time to drop great big tears of heartfelt
sorrow.
We take pleasure, then, in saying tC
our readers, that we shall give the Topeka
nominations our hearty, undivided sup
port; and we do so because we believe
the best interests of Kansas and of free
dom will be subserved by their election
not because they are Republicans simply
but because they are reliable anti-slavery
men, who are competent of dischargine
the duties of the several offices to which
they have been nominated, if elected, a,
they will be.

is reported to have arrived by Express,
and in the hands Of passengers, a few days

individuals, there is no doubt but gold is
being found in great abundance in the

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
On April l4th, the Pennsylvania Democratic
Convention assembled { at Harrisburg J
adopted the following resolutions:
ResOIved, That we are here to dav to resist
every attempt to weaken or overthrow the
creeds OF the Democratic party, and to unite
for the purpose of restoring in all their vigor
and purity, the great truths that have here
tofore made the Democracy the conquering
organization who have contributed TO the
enduring welfare of the Union.
HeSotUed, That this Convention most sol.
EMMY declare its warm attachment to the
Union OF States to maintain which it pledges
all its powers, and that for this end it is our
duty to oppose every infriction of those prin
ciples which constitute the only basis of that
Union, because faithful observance of them
can only secure its existence and public hap
piness.
Resolged, That we are bound to regard the
administration as having forfeited the con-
hdenee of the people, and to denounce it as
unworthy the support of the Democratic par.
ty,
RESOLVED, That the attempt of the Admin
istration to disregard the covenant of 1856,
and in Is stead erect a despotic test to compel
obedience to doctrines subversive of repub-
lican liberty, was the work not of the Demo.
cratic party, but Of men who had resolved on
ambitious purposes.
Resoioed, That we endorse the principles
of popular executive with the franchises of
the people Of the people of the States that
we repudiate the platform of the Convention
of March, and no matter what the decision
of the Supreme Court may be on that obtruse
question, still the right of the people to
make a slave territory or free territory is
perfect and complete under the Nebraska
bill.
