THE CONTRAST.

The marked contrast which the Chicago
Republican Convention furnished to its
Democratic rival that had adjourned from
Charleston few days previous, is univer-
sally remarked by men of all parties.
For months before the assembling Of the
Democratic delegates at Charleston. the
presses of that city teemed with abuse of
the Northern portion of them, warning the
citizens against them as a set of thieves and
robbers. and every invention was resorted
to. to make their stay uncomfortable. while
they were systematically ''bled" at every
turn by hotel-keepers, landowners, and eve
rybody else.
The meeting between tie delegates repre-
senting the different personal interests and
factions of the harmonious Democracy"
was characterized by the most bitter hatred
and jealousy. They met as deadly enemies,
fred by the passions and prejudices of their
respective sections and interests. There
was an entire absence of that harmony and
good feeling which animates men gathered
together for the advancement of right prin-
ciples, and to labor common good. They
acted only as extreme partizans and spoils-
men--not as lovers of their country, who
had met to promote its welfare. Revolyers
and knives protruded from every breast
pocket, aud personal encounters between
the delegates. in the streets, at the hotels.
and in the hall of the convention, were of
daily occurrence. The proceedings of the
convention were marked by turbulence, dis
order, and angry passions. Delegates from
the South charged upon those from the
North breach of faith, and desire to de-
stroy the institutions of the Southern States.
The retort was fierce and angry, and when
the Northern majority triumphed over the
Southern minority, in the adoption of a
platform, the delegates from ten Southern
States seeded from the convention in a

THE TOPEKA RAILROAD.

We fear our people are forgetting. in the
earnestness with which they are urging
forward another enterprise of similar
character, the most important project of
railroad connection with the East via Tope-
ka and st. Joseph. The Jefferson City and
Neosho Valley Railroad is an important
enterprise, opening this region to St. Louis
and the East, and promising ere long to be
the great route 10 the Pacific. But rail-
road running north to Topeka, and thence
by way of St. Joseph. Chicago and the great
Lakes to tie East, is of scarce less impor-
lance. The most powerful railroad interest
in the country is that whose headquarters
in The West is at Chicago, and which is now
and travel of the West and Southwest. and
build up a chain of cities in harmony with
that interest from the Atlantic to the Pacific
It is that interest which has built the road
from Hannibal to Atchison, and is now
preparing to forge another link in the chain
BY extending southwest to Topeka, the
capital of the future State of Kansas
The valleys of the Kaw and Neosho are
the centers for the great bulk of the popu
lation and wealth of Kansas, aud will al
ways continue to be. A railroad from To-
peka to Emporia will connect them at their
nearest points, and viii soon be demanded
by the imperative necessities of each Sec
ton.
The distance from this place to Topeka
in a straight line does not exceed Fifty miles
and from Topeka to Atchison the distance
is about the same. With this one hundred
miles of road built we are in direct railroad
connection with the East, as well as the en-
tire West and Northwest II is believed,
by persons competent to judge, that this
road can be built cheap as any road of equal
length in Kansas. Along the entire route
are towns and heavy settlements ready and
anxious to contribute toward the construc-
ton whenever it is known that the work is
to be commenced in earnest. We know
that the settlers along the line in our own
county are alive to the importance of this
road, and willing to take hold to the extent
of their ability at once.

The news from Europe by the last steam
er is portentious of general upheaving
among the effete princlpalities of the CONT
nent, and a remodeling of the map of en-
pires. The successful termination of the
revolution in Italy has given renewed conf
dence to the long prosecuted and downtrod
den masses of Europe Hungary is rest
less, under the rod of Austria, and there
are public demonstrations of it. Austria is
bankrupt, and really appears to De on the
verge of dissolution. A revolution has
broken out in Sicily. The uprising was
general, comprising mobiles, peasants, priests
aud all classes. AT first the insurgents
drove everything before them, but the gov
eminent at Naples precipitated an army of
$4,000 men upon them and drove them out
of the sea coast towns to the mountains
The cause of the insurgents looked despe-
rate. But General Garibaldi, the great Ital
ian revolutionist, quickly gathered together
arms, ammunition and 1000 men. and with
two vessels sailed from Genoa to the relief
of the insurgent Sicilians-leaying 5000
more men to follow as soon as possible
What the result will finally be, cannot be
foretold; but judging by recent events,
Naples will lose Sicily at least, and in all
probability the fires of revolution viii ex-
tend to the main land, compelling the king
to ''abdicate" rather hurriedly, and Naples
be annexed to Sardinia, which will thus
include all Italy except only the dominions
of the Pope-which will probably follow
suit soon. These changes cannot well be
effected without involving the continental
powers in general conflict, for which each
seems preparing. Unless signs fail, this
summer will witness great events in Europe.

The Democratic papers of the Territory,
with reckless disregard alike of truth,
and the best interests of Kansas, are pro-
claiming with fierce denunciation, that the
Republican party of Kansas is made up of
reckless, lawless men, "murderers, thieves
and their abetters." In fact these Trades
have made up the bulk of their editorials
for the last six weeks. These articles are
copied by the Democratic Press every
where, anxious to traduce and vilify the
men who made Kansas free, and so it is
trumpeted to the world that an organized
party. comprising a large majority of the
people of Kansas, ministers, lawyers, law
makers, farmers, mechanics, and citizens of
every grade, are bandits and murderers-
meu who habitually set at defiance the laws
of the country. Now. these presses know
well enough-as who does not-that this is
false and slanderous-a libel upon people
that are -eminently law abiding and
and who are unsurpassed in re-
spect of those qualities which elevate and
scale of social. moral and political worth
They know too, that such representations are
calculated to retard emigration, destroy con-
fdence, and generally to damage the pecuni-
airy interests of the Territory. But the
fact of the business is, that the necessities
and condition of the party are such that
none but such means can be ofany assistance
in restoring its waning fortunes. 1t is on
ly BY brides and threats, by inaugurating a
reign of terror. that they now hope to OBJ
tain control of the Government. With
them pary is everything: and in their
blind zeal to promote the triumph of party,
they strike down the dearest rights, the rep
utation and the prosperity of the people
They have said in effect to the people of
Kansas, "forfeit your self-respect and the
political faith to which you hold, and vote
the Democratic ticket or we will ruin you

1t is now absolutely certain that if Mr..
Seward had been nominated at Chicago, the
entire Democratic party, North and South,
East and West, would have rallied as one
man to his support Whatever divisions
may exist among Democrats in regard to
such minor matters as slavery in the Terri
tories, there is now but one sentiment per-
vading the entire host in regard to Mr.. Sew
ard, and that is that he is the greatest pa
triot, statesman and philosopher of this or
any other age, and the one man pre-eminent
above all others in his peculiar fitness for
the Presidency. Words cannot adequately
express the red-hot indignation which the
Democracy feel towards the Republicans for
casting Mr.. Seward overheard, or the heart

view of the shameful manner in which he
has been treated. Whether Mr.. Douglas
