Want Of Argument.


Most Of the papers in opposition to
the ticket nom mated on .he 18th. hav-
ing nothing else to say keep crying ont
fraud as il the action of the legisla
ture last winte, was all The capital in
politics they have. This shows that
they have no arguments to produce in
support Of their positions; for men
never resort 10 slang. defamation and
denuncia,ion when they have any bet
ter weapons to use.
In addition TO this senseless ranting.
the Topeka Record utters a positive and
unequivicsl falsehood when it says that
the convention of the Is was composed
entirely or nearly SO. Of the members OF
the legislature OF last winter. We can
Only call 10 mind three delegates to the
convention. who were members of the
Legislature. namely. Miller. Wood and
Rogers. Many of the members Of the
convention We're a, Topeka for the firsl
time. and they were all fresh from the
people. But few Of the number were
old politicians. or politicians at all. So
far as making politics business is con
cerned. But they were solid. sober
thinking men. met for the one purpose
of doing the best thing for the State
possible for convention to do. AMI
THEY DID IT.
They were neither led nor driven b,
a set of shoulalersirapped demagoenes
and were not there to perpetua'e a sys
tenn of plunder in the State, Of whicl
they were to reap the lions share them
selves. On the contrary. they wer
there with Gxed purpose to rid III
State OF the army of corrupiionist
who are growing rich of of the spoil
of the land, and who have a number o
editors under pay to help them deceiv
the people by throwing dust in thei
eyes, and crying fraud when the
themselves are the greatest frauds o
} top of the ground.
These are tie facts, and the peopl
know it. and shall know it, dispi,e th
howling of the pluderers who are steal
ing themselves rich out Of the miserie
OF the country.

Signs Of the Times.

The prospects are becoming more
and more cheering for the county,
Mr.. Liacoin is now regaining the popu-
larity. which, for time. seemed TO be
waning. This resul, grows out Of two
or three causes combined. First, the
victories Of our arms. Second. the great
anxiety Of the rebels 10 have him de-
fea,ed. The whole rebel army before

men everywhere. Third, the people
after some agitation and disquiet, see
how fatal j; would be 10 change leaders
al this time. These things are indica.
tive of the results that may lie anlici
paied 10 November. and the loyal and
patriotic heart Of the nation may bea
with pulsations Of high hope that the
Union will be preserved. the rebellion
crushed out. and The SIars AMI Stripes
once more wave in triumph over the
whole land.

Gen. Lee and Sid Clarke.

The Leavenworth Bulletin eulogi ses
Sid. Clarke, and denounces Gen Lee Ms
a selfish ambitious and .heartless'
aspirant for fame and place. Let us
look at this charge moment.
Gen. Lee resigns good office ard
enters The army TO fghl for his country,
and On many we'll contested field, per-
ling life and limb, he wins victories
and TIE unqualified appreciation of his
superiors.
Sidney Clarke does not enter the ar
my. bat gets an office that pays: is en-
trusted with important papers in which
hundreds of poor soldi-rs are deeply
interested, and either parposely or care
l,ssly loses the carpet sack in which he
had placed them. aud after The loss re-
turns home and purchases aud aids 'o
purchase, the claims of the very soldiers
lie had carelessly or pnrposely wrcnged,
at a heavy discount - doubtless with
the appreciation of his superior and
master. Who is the selfish man
Gen. Lee leaves all the associations
of home, and takes The field, sharing the
tolls and p'iva,ions of camp and march
with his men. and nobly defends and
carries to honorable triumph the glori
ous Old flag of our country. Sid. Clark,
stays a, home. does the dirty work OF 8
poli,ica! demagogue for Office. gets hi'
position, and liyes off Of the nation a
his ease-fat pay and little work-ano
then uses the money government pays
him to purchase further promotions. ol
aid him in his efforts to obtain o.he
positions.
Which is the selfish man
Gen. Lee has done much in the felS
10 confer honor upon Kansas. No ofii
Ger from our. State has done more; non'
stand higher. Sid, Clarke has beer
engaged 10 elec;ioneering for himsel
and friends. and doing the dirty worl
of his dirty master. and nothing at al
for the welfare or fame OF our State.
Which is the honorable man
We could continue The parallel. bu
it is useless. The people Of kansa
know whom 70 honor-wbo have stoos
by the banner of the free, and they vii
honor the soldier and statesman, an'

Don't Believe It.

After we had been in Kansas about
year, gentleman OF note connected
with the press said to one Of our friends:
..Roberls is one Of the ablesi editors
in Kansas. and gets up one OF the best
,papers in the Safe; but he IS too honest
to succeed in Kansas"
We have always regarded that as one
of The highest compliments ever given
an editor; but we don I believe the con-
clusion to which the gentleman arrived
IS A correct one; nor did We believe il
at the time il was first iold US
Genuine honesty IS bound to succ-ed
in suy country. II may not do as well
As intrigue and trickery on short run.
but in The loug race it is sure TO win.
We are willing to irust the people oi
Kansas in this matter. and fully believe
tina. there is virtue and honesty here as
well as elsewhere, and that our people
respect these things. Any other view
we consider a SANDER Of the great body
of the people Of our State; aad sink Or
swim survive or perish, We intend TO
msin'ain our position.

osKALoosA, KANSAS SATURDAY OCTOBER 1861

Lee has sent heavy re-enforcemen,s
to Early.and Sheridan may be compel
ed TO fall back. We hope not. Gran,
should strike at Richmond heavily.
Hooker has been ordered to report to
the Secretary of War Immediately for
active duty. Good.
Our cavalry were on raid or scout
near Richmond at latest advices. Lee
is said to have but 10000 men in and
around the rebel capital, and many Of
these raw recruits. Perhaps.
Nothing from Sherman, or Mobile.
Two negro children were kidnapped
in 81. 10. last week. II is time that
kind OF work was played out.
Nothing new from the plains. The
Indians appear to bs moving TO the
nor,hward. and may fall upon the bor-
ders Of Minnesota.
Much apprehension is felt on account
of the Indiins below in the Cherokee
country. Those removed from Kansas
and a large number OF refugees are
there, ard in an almost starving condi-
ton. The recen; train captured Oh
Cabin Creek by the rebels, had some
$4,000 of provisions for them. They
are among enemies, and the thieves have
run off all the cattle in that region. 81
that affairs there wear a gloomy aud
threatening aspect. SO much TO
Lanes policy Of declaring that these
thieves should "make enough 10 re
elect him 10 the U. S. Senate"
The rebel papers are still holding OF
to the delusion that the peace party o
the North will succeed in electing th'
next President. aud thus secure the
independence of the South.

Of capturing that place. lie has large

it will be the last one. AS &c; there is
no prospect Of his being speedily used

this estimate is correct. there is no tell

I'llRide the Mule.

In the Fourteenth United States
Colored Troops there are quite mum
Der of young officers, members of diff
ferent churches, who have been accus-
toned to hold Sabbath evening religious
exercises. On last Sunday the Colonel
ofthe regiment was absent, but his quar-
ters were occupied by IN acting adjutant
and the correspondent of the Cincinnati
c., who are members of the Colo
nel's mess! The correspondent, Imust
state, was just recovering from an at
tack of fever.-During the day friend
of the Adjutant arrived from Nashville,
and the conversation turned upon a trip
to Lookout, but the difficulty was in oh.
tanning horses. The visitor expressed
his Willingness TO ride on mule; but
the Adjutant would not listen to tho
proposition, and endeavored to prevail
upon Mr. D, the correspondent, to
give the visitor his horse and ride the
mule. He declined, and the trip was
abonded. AT night the Colonel's large
quarters, in which the correspondent lay
sleeping, was selected for religious ex-
erciscs. The company of worshipers
assembled, and the exercises commen-
ced and progressed without interruption
to the sleeping gentleman of the press,
whose slumber was broken only by in
coherent mutterings. AT last as one Of
the party was reading the hymn found in
the army edition published by the Chris
tain Commission, entitled Is it I?'' the
closing line in each verse of which is
"Come let us go, these last words
caught the ear of the slumherer, and
up his hands he exclaimed:
"Going at last gents? Il u ride The
muier' He was on his feet before he
comprehended the situation, made the
best of it, and was listener until the
close Of the exercises.
