In Common with the great mass OF III,
people of Kansas, We demand that We bt
allowed another man in place Of Sidney
Clarke to 60 to Congress next year. We are
satisfied that he is not only incapable, bat
that he il also dishonest. 50 much 10, that
the longer he retains his present position, he
only serves to bring our glorious State into
contempt. kanas i IA good State as thert
is in the Union, for almost any purpose thai

and has many internal improvements to be
made. 1t therefore needs for 4 Representa-

he will be the means of inducing profitable
immigration, and who will labor for the
good Of the State solely, leaving all personal
considerations aside. ~

lie, instead of inducing immigration Of a
valuable kind, has by his corruption in poll
ties, earned for Kansas the name Of "The
Rotton Commonwealth, and thus kept
away thousands of good citizens, who would
have brought character, talent and money to
Us. Further, there does not appear to TX 4
case on record Of any action in Congress for
the good Of Kansas, where Sidney Clarke did
not make pile out Of il. Vide the Sl6,

evident that his ''eyc' has been "singit."
only to his own interests. i5
The people of Kansas have retained Sid
ney Clarke in power nearly six wears, sent
him a. Republican when the party WI,
largely in the majority, and when he l,a,!
therefore mrny friends to assist him. 10
No time has been since he first went tn
Congress, when he could not have had the
help Of at least dozen of the ablest parlia-
mentarians to help him push throug II his
share of the Bills for internal assistance to
the States. Has Clarke ever done ANYTHING?
We have never heard Of Il single measure
Of any importance which he has either got
UP or got through. How has his time been
spent during the last session Of Congress!
In writing political letters, pulling wires in
Kansas, attempting to cover up his land
steals and the OO-Speer- Tribune Rev.
notwithstanding matter. In asccr-
tanning who would support him and talk for
him If he secured them some little contemI-
tible Offices.
Any man who has ever been companion
Of this specimen ola Congressman is sure to be
rewarded with an Official position Of this
kind. And any person who is sufficiently
vcnal, is sure to get some 'sbOunty" if he
will only support Sidney Clarke.
He has the greatest knack Of twisting and
shifting his position, of any man who ever
went into the political field. Favorins in
IS the Joy Purchase, and thereby proving
himself the settlers enemy, and in go the
enemy of Joy, and urging the settlers to
violence, he exhibited a sample Of this fac
ulty neverl ealualled by the most vile deua-
gogue in creation.
To elect Sidney Clarke again, is like Mrs.
Micawber's cOal-trade. at may require
talent, but it certainly requires capital.
Talent Mr.. Micawber had. Capital Mr..
Micawber had not" To elect Clarke may
require talent, but it will certainly require
capital" Capital Mr.. Clarke has. Talent
Mr. Clarke has not. That is the State of
the case Clarke has just what Micawbcr
hadn't. We feel sure that Clarke has
nothing else under the sun to work favor for
him, except money. lie has no record, no
brains, no character, and no friends made so
from principle.
Let us have a man who has ut least one of
these characteristics. Let us send man to
Congress who, if he can do us no good, will
do lis no harm. One who il he don't
curse people to admire Kansas, will not
ca,,Sc them to despise it.
We once, in company with four prominent
gentlemen from Kansas, were favored with
an hours conversation with ''The tall Young
oak Of the k-a-u-g-h o." We certainly
expected that in the presence Of these gentle
men he would show either brains or decency.
To our surprise during the whole hour he
did not utter single sentence Of good, sound
sense, nor touch upon any point of interest
to the men who had called ON him, but in
dulged the whole time in language fit only
to he made in bar-rOcm, 80 great was Its
indecency and pollution. We have heard
Clarke's friends elbow him and seen his
papers puff him, and expected to see a
man who had some wit, and in truth we can
say that We never saw more shailow-branetl
creature. If he had any sense he certainly
did not show it there.
. Now We have no personal fault with Sid
ney Clarke. But We know that he has cost
the State many dollar, many men, mmcl,
lime, much character. We, in commos,
with hundreds Of thousands of honest men
have suffered by his evil acts and along with
Them and for them, we demand another
man.
