THE POLITICAL HOWL.

The rejected broken down politicians who
composed the Lawrence Convention of soreheads,
when they wish to rob Western Kansas and the
State of true men, like Falstaff, cry, Down
| with the thief while they themselves commit
| the bold robbery. The Topeka Convention is
charged with corruption and bribery by these
| immaculate highwaymen Of heavenly origin.
The hollowness of this charge is apparent from
one single fact. The charge Of corruption and
bribery was openly made in the Convention by
that prince Of pureness, Col. Jennison, with, as
he afterward intimated the desire to either bring
out certain results or break up the Convention.
The Convention came to q halt, appointed a
committee to investigate the facts, and 10! the
report, after twelve hours of investigation, show
ed that after the d" mountains had labored" the
mouse had not been brought forth. If there was
so much corruption and bribery, why was it not
shown on the spot? The sharp eyed tricksters
were there, and failed to disclose single fact
worthy of the attention Of the Convention. and
yet they keep up the chronic howl Of corruption
and bribery.
They do not expect to elect their ticket, but
to organize and strengthen party. Does any
one think for moment that such man rs \.
J. Mead would not have secured place on the
ticket if he believed there was chance of an
election! He could we'll afford to cut his friend
Humphreys political throat to build up party,
and thus serve the double purpose of saving
himself and feeling the public sentiment. Ex-
cept Mark Parrot, where is there on their ticket
a prominent politician Don't catch theE: in
such trap. They set behind the fence watch
ing the falling of the trap, as it encircles the
soft birds.
Voters of Western Kansas! compare the two
tickets, and decide whether the true and tried
friends of this portion of the State not quite
as reliable as new men and enemies. Western
kaneas has, as yet, received slmost nothing, and
We have no party interests at this time Of any
| value compared with our material ones. In the
next two years, the railroad and permanent mate
rial interests of this part Of the State will BE-
placed in process of completion, and now is the
time to chose the means to the end. Every can
didate on the Topeka ticket, except Hairgrove,
has already proved himself true friend of this
portion of the State. Who cannot see that Car
ney is far better man for Western Kansas than
| a man selected because he was a local man
Bailey, Goodnow, and Guthrie are Western men.
and true friends. AT the very hour that would
be Secretary Humphrey was laboring to detract
and defame the Representatives and Senators
from the West, W. w. H. Lawrence. in the House.
and Tom Osborne, in the Senate, were struggling
to locate the State University in Riley County
! We do not wish to see men elected on mere
local grounds, but when we gee Western meas
ures defeated by the influence Of State officers
at the capitol. We say to Western Kansas--next
time choose friends and not enemies.

SCRAP OF IRISH HIsToRY.-Itis is an establish.
ed fact in history that the English were once
in the habit of selling their children and 9TH
er relations to be slaves in Ireland But un.
der the influence of Christian principles, the
generous Irish, in national synod, not only
put an end to the nefarioustraffic, but eman.
cipated all the English slaves in the kingdom.
This took place in the year 1l72. Ireland
being then afflicted with the public calamii
ties, the clergy and people began to reproach
themselves with the unchristian practice of
purchasing and holding in slavery their fel.
low men. Although these slaves were fairly
paid for, and although they were natives Of
ar island from which the Irish had already
begun to receive great injuries, it was unan.
imously resolved in connsil to set them at
liberty. The Irish were at that time much
more enlightened and intelligent people than
the English. This fact has not been suficien-
tly remembered to the honor of Ireland, when
pleading with Britons to impart the succors
of humanity and the blessings of the gospel
to the ignorent and oppressed population of
that interesting island.
1t is also worthy of remark, that in the d.
vision of the House of Commons, on the first
motion of Mr.. Wilberforce, for the abolition
of the African slave trade after the Irish Un-
ion, every member present supported the
measure. Ireland should be the land Of the
free. Copley's History of .Slarery
