KEOKUK IOWA: MONDAY Y NOVEMBER l9 1860

IL. That Kansas should, Of right, be
Immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
BY her people. and accepted by the House
Of Representatives.
l2. That, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general government BY
duties Upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment Of these imports as to
encourage the development Of the indus
trial interests Of the whole country; and
We commend that policy Of national ex
changes, which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
rating prices, TO mechanics and manufac-
turers An adequate reward for their skill,
labor. and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
Is. That We protest against any sale or
alienation 10 others Of tie Public Lands
held b. actual settlers, and against am
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the. settlers as paupers or suppli-
ants for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress Of the complete
aud satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
"a. That the Republican party is OPP
posed to any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State Legislation by which
the rights OF citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor of
giving fall and efficient protection to the
rights OF all classes Of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturalzed, beth at home and
abroad.
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor Improvements Of a
National character. required for the ac-
| commodatlon and security Of an existing
commerce, are authorized by The Constr
tuition, and justified by the obligation Of
Government to protect the lives and prop
erty Of its citizens.
l6. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocean
lis 'mperatvely demanded by the interests
OF the whole country that the Federal
Government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid in It's construction and
that, rs preliminary thereto, daily Over
lard Mail should be promptly established
IL. Finally, having thus set forth our
uisthcH't principles ana views, we Invite
tie cooperation OF all citizens, however
differing on other questions, who substan-
TALLY agree with US in their afiirmance and
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with those men who have been driven,
some Of them from their native States and
others from the State Of their adoption,
and are now exiled from their homes on
account of their opinions; and we hold
the Democratic party responsible for this
gross violation OF tLa, clause Of the Cons,i-
tuition which declares that the citizens OF
each Stale shall be entitled to all the priv
Ileges and immuniies Of citizens in the sew
eral States

Since my last letter there has been no par-

Whilst pnrty were engaged in a dance at
Theatre Hall, q parcel Of fellows Of the baser
sort, led On by some Eastern Kansas villains,
armed with rcvolvcrs and stones, surrounded
the house, broke IN the doors, rushed up stairs,
shot through the roof, broke the furniture,
and frightened tho party from the hall, some
jumping from the windows; after which the rab-
bic dispersed With inglorious shoutings. Next
morning writ was issued BY Justice Stone,
mud the ringleader taken into custody by Shcr-
iE kcclcr. After insulting the Court and abus-
ing tho officers, he attempted to shoot the
Sheriff, but the shot did not take effect, though
passing near to several n,en whereupon the
Sheriff lrcw lis revolver and shot the villain
through lie right lung. lie is still alivc. but

Of hanging, should hc be SO unfortunate as to

ON the part of our officers and substantial

States to escape justice, and think they may

may be obliged 10 turn nbout on TIE road, mol

to make the latter President!
We learn,by the By ,that Messrs Letchcr and
Wise have agreed to drive Mr. Bolts out Of the

Public opinion in Illinois, up to the time Of

to that gentleman as tho rossessor Of the
