Those who have always worked in the
ranks of party all their lives, and have
been the slaves of such party, doing what
ever seeming majority may direct, can
not understand how another can be irGe-
pendent, and stand ABOVE party. These,
we are proud to say, are not the old
members of the Free Soil party, who
cared nothing for name, and took Just as
much pleasure in seeing one party in
power as another, so they could secure a
triumph of their own political views. We
are very free to acknowledge that for
PARTIES, as such, we have no particular
love; that our ambition is to see the tri
unph of great leading PRINCIPLES, and
for these and these only we contend. II
will give Is just as much pleasure to see
the cause of freedom advanced by acts Of
JAMES BUCHANAN or his party, as to see
them advanced through the aid of his OPP
ponents. 1t pains us as much to see the
cause of freedom injured by its professed
friends, the Republicans, as by Demo
Gratis.
Whilst our sympathies and feelings are
with the Republicans in the States, and
against the Democrats, in Kansas we
find the name Republican assumed by q
few demagogues, to place themselves in
power. The people, ignorant of the mo-
tives of the arch-leaders in the move.
ment, have unwittingly played into then
hands, aud by small vote made them
the dominant party. These leaders care
as little for freedom, or the cause Of the
slave, as they do for consistency or truth
Their whole motive is to get poarer, aud
| this they are bending heaven and earth
to attain. If their way lay over the backs
/ OF million of slaves, it would be all the
same with them. Those who differ from
them are branded with being turn-coats,
with having gore over to the Democratic
party, when it is themselves who have
broken their plishted faith deserted a
party which they had pledged their "lives
and honor" to maintain; and who have
played into the hands of the Democracy
by committing excuses in the name OF
RepublicaniSm, which will make that
name as odious aud repulsive in Kansas,
to the masses, as is the name of Demo
crat.

alone are called upon to review and pass
judgment upon its acts. If it found the
Legislature had been negligent or careless
in the discharge of its duties, it could have
made provisions for supplying defects
even to the ordering of new elections in
unrepresented districts; and if any por-
ton Of the Territory was not fairly repre-
scented there, or not represented at all. this
was clearly its duty. Instead of doing
this, the Wyandott Convention found a
populous county, and the one in which
the Convention assembled, without legal
representatives that county had elected
the number of Delegates to which they
were entitled; all partias had participated
in the election, and showed desire to be
represented. The whole proceedings were
Just, and under the forms of law; the two
Delegates having the highest number Of
votes bore certificates from the Governor,
setting forth the facts that they had been
duly elected. They acere rsfused hearing
on the floor Of the Convention, by tie Repub
lican votes Of that body; and at first, those
members refused to spread the protests of
the rejected members upon the Journal,
but on reconsideration, concluded to do
so.
With but fifty-two members in the Con-
stitutional Convention, thirty-fve Of
whom claim to be Republicans, yet they
refused seats 10 two Delegates from Wy
andott county, who CHANGED to oppose
them politically, and lief. that county m
represented throughout the entire session
of that body.
We have only to say, in conclusion, that
one of the strongest arguments urged in
Congress against the Lecompton Swindie
will bear with equal force against the
Wyandott Convention. 1t is framed in
violation Of an express provision of Con-
gress, requiring census to be taken of all
the inhabitants of the Territory before such
Convention shall be called. 1t disregard.
! ed this provision, and, as a consequence
a populous county is left unrepresented
Fraud or negligence characterized the
Legislature which called into being, and
as result, the law calling the Convention
never passed through the usual and lega
forms. The Convention, thus begotten il
fraud, neglected, in shameful manner
to purge itself of completely in the matter
and thus its bantling, whatever it shall
be, will go before the country lacking lie
gality and JUSTICE in its origin. Unles
it shall bear the latter fully enstampe,
in "lines of living light" on its face, W
, shall expect to see it repudiated by tn
/; people, or rejected by Congress.

A slishr inconsistency.

At an early stage Of the session, the
constitutional Convention, presuming that
the ladies of Kansas took sufficient inter.
est in politics, and had sufficient time to
devote to the purpose, very CALAMITY in.
vited the ladies to take seats within the
bar. They seemed to think politics and
Constitution making not entirely ont Of
the range of woman's sphere.
But the Convention was then unaware,
perhaps, that women felt it would be no
greater wrong to appear in Legislative halls
as members, than as visitors. However,
on the eighth day, the COMMITTEES on Flee
tors enlightened the Convention, by re.
porting against the petition OF sshdry IN
habitants of Kansas for equal sn.tfaSe,
without distinction Of sex, setting f@lh
that in the opinion of the COMMITTEES,
woman has already sufficient care and re-
sponsibility in attending to her domestic
arrangements. The report was accepted
and ordered to be filed.
The Convention also adopted resOlu.
ton that taxation and representation
should go hand in hand, thus Recognizing
the right of women of property to h
placed on the same basis with men o.
property.
They forgot to except women, or per
hsps they had not made the discovery
that the women of Kansas, who are rec
ognized by law as capable of carrying OF
her own business and owning and con
trolling property, had really no interes
or duty but "to stay at hoaae and TAX
care of the babies"

These facts deserve attention from all men
who live in Slave States South Carolina, in
whose rice fields more negroes are used uD than
in any other Southern State, who boasts a slave
system affirmed to be perfectly adjusted to her
society, and where the cry has already been
voiced forth for revival oi the African trade,
shows supplanting of the white race by the
black race more startling than anything ever
propounded By Nautilus. As a basis of our re-
marks, We may note the fact thu for thirty
years the white population has NOT Increased at
all; 1t being within few thousand in 1858 of
what it was in 1928. Look then carefully at
the above table. The slave population already
exceeds the free by mote than one hundred
thousand-neariy one-haif. The relation of
births is as sos to l, in favor 0! the slaves
more than treble. At this rate what will be
tie condition of South Carolina at the end of
the next thirty years. With the whites, the
number OF deaths range very close upon the
number OF births; the excess probably migrating
to other States. With the blacks, the difference
OF births and deaths, is largely in favor OF the
births, and increasing yearly in a geometlical
progression Consider also that the slave breed.
ing States will add largely to her servile class,
and that this multiplying OF the blacks must be
at the expense OF the whites to a certain extent,
From these elements it may be estimated ac-
cOTuliig 10 accepted laws OF population, that
South Carolina will in thirty years contain a
less number OF free citizens than now, and more
than three quarters Of a milton of SLAVES The
blacks will be three to one to the whites so.

"a Our friends at Davenport seem to have
gone crazy upon the subject OF Railroads.
Something like month ago the people of Scott
County, through the overwhelming vote of Da-
venport, voted loan Of over 100000 in aid
Of the N. 4 N. and Cedar Valley Railroads.
An injunction was got out BY Judge Grant and
the County Judge prevented from issuing the
Bonds. But they were not to be thwarted in
this way. They were bound to give the bonus
to the Railroads, and last Saturday Davenport
going unanimously for the measure but the rest
OF the county voting mainly against it, a loan
Of $s75,o00 was voted BY Scott county, in favor
the Cedar Valley and lie Clare Roads. But
Judge Grant seems determined at all hazards to
defeat the measure and prevent the issuance Of
the Bonds.
The Davenport Democrat says he is about to
apply for another injunction. We regret tina,
Judge Grant interferes in this matter, and hope
that he will yet allow the people of Davenport
to 60 just as deeply in debt as they please
There is only one thing about it that looks .un
fair Davenport having already exceeded the
amount Of Indebtedness allowable under the
Constitution it is not exactly fair for her to drag
the balance Of Scott county into the mire against
the wish of the people But as to the town
itself, il is hoped that she will be allowed 10
60 in just as deeply as the people desire. In
this respect they should be grat,fied even at
the expense Of the Constitution.

t8 The State Board adjourned Saturday
last, as we learn from some of our cotempora-
-ries, howbeit our exchanges from the Capitol
have not yet come to hand announcing the
fact. The Board sat their constitutional term,
twenty days. They passed curative act, the
purpose of which was to re.enact that portion
OF the School Law declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court, leaving the system of com.
mon schools with county superintendent etc.
just about as the last Legislature Fixed it. The
Board elected Thomas II. Benton, formerly
Superintendent Of Public Instruction, Secretary,
his duties being very similar to those of Super
intendent under the old Constitution. Mr..
Benton will make good officer, being already
conversant with the duties of the Office.
