An Act Of Justice.

Since the President has found il
necessary to adopt the Emancipation
policy which Fremont proposed to In
augurate more than a year ago. j. would
be but an act OF justice TO restore that
gifted patriot and much abused aud
slandered General 10 tie Department Of
the West. and We earnestly hope il will
be done without delay. He is tho man
for the place and the times and If he
gets into this Department with the
means TO work or the privilege to raise
them. he will soon make the ol SLOW,
one horse generals Of The east hurry
themselves up or have nothing 10 do.
Ii he had been left alone here last year
mud properly sustained. the rebellion
would have been crushed. He would
have taken Richmond from The r.ar
while Mcclellan was getting ready 10 !

PARROTS Letter.

Gen. Lane wishes US TO say that the
letter which Parrot wrote TO him was
not published BY his Lanes doings.
but on the imperative demand Of Parro.t
that IL there was such letter in exist.
ence it should be produced and publish
ed. We axe this statement because
our structures las, week implied that
Lane had betrayed confidence in pub
fishing the letter.
Some one has said that Parrot made
the demand. presuming that Lane had
thrown the letter away among his
worthless rubbish and could not pro-
duce il, and that the failure would give
him an excellen. opportunity to de-
nounce Lane in the CANVASS. and claim
that he himself was slanjered and per-
secuted.
Ii this be correct. the production
and publication OF the letter should
have been made by all means. Unde,
the peremp,ory demand for it. Lane
WAS entirely justified in making il pub
lic Bat Parrot will hardly see the
end Of the good i, conf do him for
wears 10 come.

Fair Nominations.

The Union" papers keep up great
out-cry concerning the unfairness OF
the nominations made at Topeka. Il
those who support that ticket are salts.
fed with the nominations, We should
like to know what business it is 10 out.
siders A man that sticks his nose
into his neighbor's affairs is generally
considered very imperlinent. The only
reason the ticket put out at Lawrenc.
was ''fairly done." was simply that i,
was "cut and dried" before. and only
had to 90 through the motions in the
convention.
For our own part. We had much rath-
er support good men representing right
principles. even If there were some OBJ
lection to the mode Of their nomination,
than to support poor men or bad men.
however fairly nominated. But this
hubbub concerning the Topeka conven-
tion is heavy ins.allmens Of the small
capital Of the Lawrence concern, and
they must needs use it "well and off,"

can te but one result. and that will not
be the success Of any candidate ON the
Lawrence ticket. BY long way.
Asking Pay.

The State Jcssnal asks the Union
candidate. to come forward and sub
scribe for extra copies Of that dslecia-
bic sheet 10 send out gratis to those
who won't take it themselves. How
natural 10 ask for the spoils. Judas
wanted the thirty pieces Of silver. but
he had more respect for himself than
most modern politicians. for when he
saw what lie had done he "went and
hanged himself" But the politicians
will sell their coustry and never think
of such an expia'ion Of their crime
However, in this case. the candidates
should fork over. They have been
"daucing to the music" and no" they
can hardly do better than ''pay the I'D

Tie only thing we have seen allelg-

is. that h is Lanes man. Aud We
notice. too. t,at the men who have the
greatest odo, Of corrupti,n aivI tleir

are endesvorirg TO make tie mos Of

reason for this is. We presume. that

Mr.. Carney has cod out also.
Now i. is our candid opinion tina tie
bill Of sale which the devil has on thea.
false accuser Of Mr.. Carney will hold
ten points in law to where thar "'
Lanes on Carney holds none.
Mr. Carney Is his own man. His
honesty is such that none can accuse
him with Hny show OF ruth; and the
people Of Kansas lo,k 10 linn as the

its present low estate and set Us out on

Democratic Programme.

The programme Of the Vallanding-
ry-Ma,hias Democracy is to slor
the supplies for carrying ON the war
and tn US compel the Presiden. to entel
into treaty with the rebels. The
basis of the treaty is to be that Slave, :
shall be unrestricted; go where it pleas
es. and be subject 10 TO law. excep'
the law of the master.
Old dirty dog" Judge PetI'. Of no.
lorious reputation. told the whole story
when he said that he could iel' old
Abe Lincoln how TO end The war ia
sixty days. namely. BY making every
State in the Union Slave S.a.e.
Now this is exactly villa, the whole
tribe of rebels in the North is working
for. They had rather be under Jed.
Davis aud Treason Democracy. than
under Republican President, no differ
ence who the man, and the constitution.
There are no blacker-hearted traitors
in the Southern Confederacy than in
the Free Sia.es. Kansas included; and
the meanest and most cowaidly Of all
traitors. are those who profess friend
ship for The Union with their lips. while
their hearts are full of rebellion and
dark. plotting treason.
One Of this class OF men is now boldly
asking the sufrrages Of The people Of
Kansas-boldly asking them 10 vote for
him 10 so to the city of Washington TO
aid in destroying the government. and
yielding TO treason in arms suicidal
recognition aud peace which will sign
the death warrant Of liberty and the
Union.
