WHITE CLOUD. KANSAS:
Thursday, :: December 10, 1868.
M. r. Conway.

This gentleman, in consequences ofsick-
ness, was unable to fulfill his appoint
ment in this place. on Tnesdsy evening
Of last week bat he came on Saturday
evening. and addressed very fair audi
ence. Mr.. Conway says he is no candi-
date for Office. but Is making the canvass
solely for the purpose Of setting himself
right before the people. He considers
himself wronged BY the resolution pass
ed by the Kansas House Of Represents
tives, last Winter. and that. in justice.
the next session ought to repeal it, or at
least expunge it.
As we understand Mr.. Conwsy's ex-
planstien of his resolutions and speech
in Congress. his position was substan-
TALLY this: As the war was being carried
on, the only result. il successful. would
have been 70 bring the slaveholding pow
er back into the Union upon the same
terms ss before-in other words, the Ad-
ministratiou was trying to force the slave
power to come back and domineer over
the country. He thought that if the
armies were temporarily Withdrawn, and
the South permitted to assume the posi-
tion of separate nation, the Northern
people would become more intensely
Northernized, and could then enter upon
q war with the Sonth. as against for.
eign power, and would not be hampered
by Constitutional guarantees. our
brethren" and all that sort of stuE-that
the South could be conquered. and
brought back upon such terms as the
North chose to dictate, without any com.
promises.
We do not really think that Mr.. Con-
wsy was q traitor at heart. but We do
think that an adoption Of the policy pro-
posed by him would have been fatal.
The contest once abandoned by the North,
the blockade raised, the independence Of
the South acknowledged by foreign pow
ers, and treaties and alliances entered
into, the Union would have been gone
forever. But as Mr.. Conway admits
that be was mistaken, we are willing to
give him the benefit Of all explanations.
