PoMERoY DEEENDED-The Atchison
Champion contains two-column labor
cd defence of Senator Pomeroy. written
BY "prominent citizen'' of the State
probably Poneroy himself. 1t is davot-
ed chiefly to defending him on a point
that has never been disputed-that he is
Radical Republican, and has been faith
ful on all party questions. But the
"prominent citizen" makes this astoun-
ding assertion of Pomeroy:
I" His success is the success Of the Re-
publican cause-his defeat thu overthrow
Of the party in Kansas"
We acknowledge that Pomeroy is a
mighty man; but it is barely possible
that If be should some day be taken up
to Heaven in chariot of fire, the Re-
publican party could still manage to
wiggle along.

BIEsEIAL SESSIONS. - The Leaven.
worth Conservative is favoring biennial
sessions of the Legislature. We agree
with the Topeka Commonwealth, tha,
this would not be of any advantage in
Kansas. In q new State. important
matters requiring legislation are constant
ly arisiug-much more so than in the
old settled States. And the system is q
failure in most of the States where it has
been adopted. Such States almost in
variably have extra or adjourned sessions
the odd year. and they are more expen-
sive than the regular sessions. Ohio has
lately had an example of such a session /;
and the figures show that it was the
most extravagant snd expensive session
Of the Legislature ever held in the State.

The OHIo DEMooRAcY.-Gen. Rose
Grams has refused the Democratic nomin-

Central COMMITTEES have substituted the
name of George II. Pendleton, who has
accepted. This is jumping from one ex-
treme to the other with remarkable ngil-
ity. There is curiosity to know what
effect this upse.ting Of th, "era of good
feeling" will have. Rosecrans was nom.
mated to catch soldier and Union votes,
but he was q hard dose for the Rebel De.
mocracy. Then, it was expected that he
would poll the solid Catholic vote, and
Archbishop Purcell had already entered
the arena in his cause. Again, the nom
ination Of Rosecrans was mainly due to
the influence of Vallandigham, as an in
suit to the Pendleton wing of the party,
as there is bitter enmity existing be-
tween Vsllsndigham and Pendleton.

of the ticket, knocks the wind ont oi

carry Ohio at the coming election. for

they have TO sustain the cause OF free
schools. 1t is well known that the Ca

hatred of the free public school system.
In proportion as they gain power. the
free schools suffer: and it is their boast
that in few years theirs will be the con
trolling religion in Americs. The nom
inntiou Of Rosecrsns for Governor OF
Ohio elated them, and their FIRST demon
strstion of feeling took tie shape OF ON
outcry against the free school system.
The time is coming " hen the people OF
Kansas and of every other State will
have this battle to fight. Now is the
time to fortify against the enemy. BY
