LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

On Thursday next the question will he
decided whether the honest, unbought, and
unbribed expression of the popular will is to
ste ~e.eed- N 4 Nxfes Convention. Re
turns from the country show beyond perad-
venture that the cornptiUs'iAs are fairly
beaten. But the people may yet be cheated
out Of this victory. They have fairly won
it. They have won II against the power Of 4
great Administration. They have won it
against bribery, the corrupt use Of money,
and the whole horde Of census takers, lst-
masters, route agents, and officials entrusted
with little brief authority" and OpTor-
tunities for plunder. The Black Bob BAN
dts are routed.
But they will bc in force at Topeka; their
money bags are not yet emIay. 4 large re-
serve is kept to be used upon Ts,rchasable
material ai the Convention. II any one is
50 mean as to sell his vote and betray his
constituency, he must do It publicly. And
We want his constituents and the whole State
to see for themselves how mean such an one
feels, and how cheap he looks. Therefore,
we urge every man who has the interest of
the State and the welfare Of the party at
heart to I've at Topeka The people must
cume and be willing 10 sacrifice their time,
pay their own railroad fare and hotel bills at
Topeka. But they must attend the COnven-
ton nevertheless. They must be present to
see,
1. That their delegates rosc by rira rocc il
Conreation, 50 that all may zee who are true
to their constituencies, and who PASS down
as soon as sold"
>. Let the people I've present to demand
that a good State ticket is put into the field,
and that there is no trading and shystering by
which votes can be illicitly obtained for
Clarke.
Leavenworth City and County ought to
send a delegation Of 1000 and Lawrence
should send 500, to let the delegates know
how meanly Clarke is regarded at his home.
Fort Scott should send 800 representatives,
and all portions of the State should be simi-
larly represented. The people are all pow
erful If their voice can find an honest and
legitimate expression.

UNTIL the influence of constitutional Italy
is thoroughly dominant in Rooe, little can
be heard of genuine liberty there. The san
suine do not despair, however, of great
changes, even Of the Italian Parliament
holding its sessions in the Holy City. There
are European Proaeseants, too, who are en-
thusiastic enough to-believe that Protestant
temple viii be seen within its wails ere 1871
is over. At present there are upwards of
800 Catholic churches or chapels in Rome,
and one or two Jewish synasogues within
the walls Of the city; bot no Protestant or
other place Of worship is tolerated, lest the

The lsaslites Of Turin are building a new
place Of worship, which, according tn an ac-
count in the Paris Temps, is a very exiraor-
dinary affair. The mort remarkable of all
structures at Turin is the synagogue If nc
Israelities. 1t is likely the finest and richest
synagogue in the world, and at the same time
the most remarkable monument Of Turin.
Upon small square Hill, with adapted stairs,
stands a Greek temple in white and pink.
Above, a little backward, is kind Of second
temple. The whole is traversed by galleries,
adorned with small pillars and thousands Of
splendid embellishments. White and rcl-
dish colors pretiominate. II is Greek and
MOOrish-it is Romantic and Gothic; there
is blending Of all styles, without oventr.,in-
ing and without had taste. But what makes
this structure something bizarre and unex-
peced is a massive tower, with pierced walls
rising above this Ornamented, beautiful con-
str,lction, reminding Of Aaia and Egypt, of
Thebes and Nineveh. Surely the architect
Of this building was gifted BY imagination.
He was an able interpreter Of the Hebrew
dream of the temple to be erected at the
brink 6 a strange river. Never since the
great de>tr,,Ction has Israel possessed a more
magnificent cdifice in which the hymns of
David resuunded. This building is entirely
