OlatS 4IaI Ne lully ana unQuallhedly
endorse the principles of the Baltimore
Platform, and nominations made there
on.
Cd. That the action of the Chicago Con.
vention, both in its infamous peace plat.
form aud the nominees OF the Convention,
is alike unworthy the support of the loyal
men of Kansas, involving as it does the
certain division of the Union and the ulti-
mate ending of one present glorious nation
atty into number of petty States. we
therefore most earnestly Invite all true men
to unite with US In the election of the Pres
idential electors nominated by this Conven-
ton, and We hereby instruct said electors
to so act in the electoral college as 10 most
certainly defeat the slave party as repre-
sented by the nominees Of the Chicago
Convention.
Sd. That We call on all men, without re-
gard to party, to consider the duty they
owe their country in this hour of its peril
and unite with Us, that by a union of hearts
and hands. we. may gather the laurels of
victory from the bloody fields of battle,
bring order out of chaos; and return our
beloved country to its original power aud
purity, with every stain of corruption
ciple of Freedom anu Humanity preserved
intact. We, therefore. depreeate the action
OF those who, on account of personal an
tagonism, and to gain personal ends, would
throw confusion into the ranks Of those who
are struggling for the same cause in which
they pretend to be enlisted, and thereby
strengthen the hands of the common enemy
4th. That we hereby endorse the action
of the Republican State Convention, held
on the 2lst day of April last. for the Sc
lection Of delegates to the Baltimore Con
vention.
9Th. That the soldiers in the field, bat
ting for their country, have not only estab-
lished their character for patriotism, unal
Logged by selfshness, but have by their con-
tact with the rebellion gained better knoWl
edge of its Infamous character than those
foreign from the field of action, and are
thereby entitled to the privilege of a par
ticipation IN the councils OF the country,
that while they are struggling in the front,
they have right to know that they are not
attacked in the rear-that in view of these
facts, we are grati6ed with the spirit they
have evinced in sending delegates to this
Convention, and that he who would gain
say their right to cast their suffrages at the
ballot box, either lacks an appreciation of
the principles of justice, or is void of any
pulse of patriotism.
THE CONVENTION OF THE 18TH.
On the 18Th convention assembled at
Topeka, composed of the fag-ends of all
parties, but more especially of the gentle
men who run the Senatorial swindle last
winter. Sol. Miller was delegate Ed.
Russell was delegate John ingalls, was
a delegate j. F. Legate was delegate +;
Saunders, of Coffey county, was delegate
Flford, of Chase, was delegate ; Sam
Wood was delegate Atwood was dele
gate, and Mcdowell was delegate. These
gentlemen run the Senatorial swiDdle, and
they also run this convention. The people
can endorse this convention by voting for
it's candidates if they want to. For our
part we do not want any oft in ours. This
was called by two gentlemen
claiming to be State Central Committee
Messrs. ingalls, and Atwood. They were
of the old committee, but that
has been repudiated. Who ever heard of
such impudence Two men assuming the
of State Central Committee
They are the ones vino denounce Jim Lane
and bis followers as trcksters. Satan re-
buking sin. Tie special object of The
meeting was to nominate a ticket of men
who had spent the most of their valuable
lives for the last four years in cursing and
plotting against one man-to break up the
zone man power" as they call it. a great
many people would like to see Lane beaten,
but they have no confidence whatever in
these chaps, believing the most of them to
be infinitely more corrupt than Lane
These fellows are seeking to get control of
the Stale patronage. That's all. They
care not for principle; and. in our opinion,
as long as they run the anti-Lane machine,
Lane stands in no very great danger of
losing his seat in the U. s. Senate. OF
course there are great many good, honest
men who work with tie men named above,
whose desire is to overthrow Laue. We
speak of the leaders of this political fac
ton. They would break up the party to
beat one man they hate. We do not be-
lieve the Republican party of Kansas has
become so corrupt that it is necessary to
break it up to defeat any one man. If there
was anything to prove this party sorehead
faction, it is substantialed in the fact that
nearly one-third of the State was not rep
resented in their convention. There were
only flynn delegates present, leaving
l6 districts in the State unreprssented. and
among them We are happy to name the three
