National Colored ConyentIon.

The national convention of colorcd
men now in session ut New Orleans is
quite large, respectable and important
gathering. Nearly all the states have
delegates there, and they include the
most prominent and influential colorcd
men in the country. Kansas IS repre-
scented by Capt. ". d. Matthews, OF
I.eavcnworth Charles IL. Langston, of
Lawrence; and David Gordon, of Fort
Scott; and Mr.. Langston is one of the
vice-prcsidents Of the convention. The
proceedings so far have been disnificd
and practical; and the speeches, resolu-
lions, etc, will compare favorably with
those OF ordinary conventions of white
men. The platform adopted by the con-
vention, without dissenting vote, en-
dorscs Grants administration, and
pledges support to the Philadelphia
nominee; thanks Charles Sumner for
his services in behalf of the coiorcd race !;
appeals to the people for the just rights
and privileges of cOlored men and wo-
men in public convcyances and places Of
amusement; and declares against all
members of congress who opposed SEN
ator Summers civil rig hts bill.
In addition to the platform proper, 4
series OF resolutions has also been adopt
cd. The first commends the action Of
Vice President Colfax for aiding and
giving his support to the civil rights bill
in the senate. The second declares the
difference between civil rights and social
rights, and recognises the fact that in
social standing men can only be deter
mined BY personal merit and individual
achievements. The third expresses
gratitude for the prayers Of the friends
of freedom in this and other lands. The
fourth refuses to support for office all
who cannot rise above the prcjudiccs Of
color and race. The fifth recommends
a system of common school education,
such as prevails in New England. The
sixth asks that some patronage he ex-
funded to the colored representatives in
kentucky and other states where none
has heretofore been given. The seventh
aad eighth deny the statements made in
certain papers, that forced school equal
ity is one of the dominant ideas Of the
convention, and animadvert on the prac-
tees OF amalsam aiiOn.-Iopekd Cone

The Democrats Washington special
says: The fight between Trumbull and
Davis. for the Cincinnati nomination. is
growin. extremely bitter. Davis's
strength lies mainly with the Liberal
Democrats, Trumbull on the other hand,
has most of the Liberal republicans here.
Schurze promises to carry his disintc-
graf ting power to the convention for
Trumbull or ruin it for anybody else.
He NAV not mean that, but the course
marked out will have that effect il per-
sisted in. Trumbull will be able to make
so much show in strength that in the alb
sence Of the Democratic influence, which
is not in position of great power, he
will demand his own nomination and a
large hand in shaping the platform. The
Davis men arc about to bring out against
Trumbuil his pending proposition before
Congress to repeal the eight-hour law,
in the hope that this will influence the
labor element in the convention. The
fight is SO bitter as to assure the defeat
in Illinois OF which ever may be nonii-
mated.

In the resolutions adopted by the late
Liberal Convention of Kansas, We find
the following:
We call upon the people of Kansas to
unite in an effort to put stop to the at
tempted absorption OF the civil functions
of the government hy the military, and
the encroachment of the executive pow
err; to inaugurate a thorough and gent
inc reform Of the civil service, that shall
put a stop to the shameless abuse of
official patronage; for the control OF con-
ventions and elections whether IN the
interests Of an individual faction or par
ty; to effect o modification OF our rev.
enue system SO no class or special inter-
ests Of the country shall he encouraged
at the expense Of the rest; t" secure a
wise and Just system OF taxation which
shall place no needless burden ON the
people.
Just such language rs this was en-
bodied in the Democratic platforms dur
ing the war. The burden of the song OF
Democracy has been "The usurpatior
Of the civil functions by the dcspotic
military power OF the Radicals" The
cncroachments of the executive" "Tht
shameless abuse Of official patronage
Burdensome taxation" ETC., etc. How
easily the i" dissatisfied" learn to uttel
these old phrases. II must be amusing

SALINE AT CINCINNATI.

AZ the papers generally throughout
the State have given sketches Of the
history Of the delegates from the differ
eut counties to the Cincinnati COnven
ton, it is well enough for us to "touch
up" Saline's.
G. CLARK Prescott, a brother Of Judge
Prescott Of this county, hailing from
New Hampshire, is young man, about
twenty.four years of age. For the past
two yeare he has been assistant clerk Of
the Senate. He possesses ability and
looks to greatness through the Cincin'
n.ti telescope.

aDemocrat and would be yet if there wal

est and hest farmers, and has always,
hitherto, acted with the Republican
party. He has good standing in the
county, is good fellow, but we doubt
whether he voluntarily allowed his
name TO become connected with the
new party movement.
Such is a short and brief history OF
our citizens who are to represent the
Liberal movement from Saline county.

We note with pleasure that the press
and many persons o: the State have sec
onded our nomination of Maj. E. >.
Slower, of Coancil Grove, as Liestenant
Governor at our next Republican Con-
vention. We have named him for .
plaee on the State ticket becAase OF our
liking for him and our confidence in his
abilities; and what VIC have said OF him,
or do say now, has not been caused oy
auv conversations with him upon the
subject, tor none such have VIC had. We
preferred him for the position OF Gov
eraor, and hope now that those VINO
meet this fall to select the candidates Of
the Republican party will place him hrs'
on the ticket. As Col. Sells, Of Doug
las county, has formally declined to DC
candidate for Governor, our next, ana
we do know but our first, choice is MAJOR
Slower.
Major Slower, If he is chosen, will be
chosen upon his merits alone. Had nc
sought either of the Offices, or should he,
by wirc-pulI,ng and those unworthy
tricks resorted to by many Kansas poll
ticians, he must have succeeded, bat he
is an upright man and we do not believe
he can find it in his heart knowingly to
do selfish act. Above all he is an hon.
est man, is an old citizen of Kansas, and
has made himself what he is by his own
nerve and good work. The respect OF the
people of his own county, ofWestern and
Southwestern Kansas and of all parts OF
the State where he is known, is a surety
of his high character, and the fact that
he has filled seats in both houses of our
State Legislature is test of his abilities.
Politically there is no truer Republican,
and his republicanism dates beyond the
party. Dissatisfaction has pcrvaded with
some that he has not chung as closely
to the cloaks of Grant rs they have, but
we know of what we speak when we say
that it is his firm determination to sup
port the nominees Of the Philadelphia
lie has taken issue with
Grant on his San Domingo proposition
and his not according bclligercnt rights
to Cuba, but he prefers, with us, Grant
to any of the horde who are fixing up
things for the Cincinnati Convention.
Kansas will do honor to herself to
place Major Slower in the Governors
seat. In the event, Kansas will have
had no better Governor, and it is doubt
full if she will have had as good a one.

The meeting Of Independent Republi-
cans, held n Detroit, Mich, on the 18th,
struck tho key note. A dispatch says
that Hthcy represent a very extensive
feeling of dissatisfaction prevailing
among Republicans, and principally At
the course pursued by the Michigan Sem
ators in political affairs in the State. v
The general expression among the large
number OF gentlemen present was that
the party must be purified but that il
must be done in the party. We ask right
here of the Liberals-those that were
before Repablicnns-what they expect to
accomplish for those Republican princi.
pies which they yet profess to adhere
to? The fact is, the Liberals are mon
grel crew, whose creeds and beliefs are
rs diverse as there is difference between
the vegetable and mineral kingdom.
In their coalition they have but one feel
ing in common, and that is to defeat the
re election Of President Grant, seeing
that the public confidence is so strong in
his present administration as almost to
insure his denomination. Supposlng the
Liberals will act harmoniously on their
nomination (Which we very much doubt
and be successful in the canvass, there
would be much more dissatisfaction to
the administration than to Grants ad-
ministration. This great hubbub of lib
eralism is caused more by disappointed
officc-seckers than from any other thing,
and he who anticipates any improvement
in this regard mistakes his host. There
is no doubt many, the rank and file, are
sincere in protesting liberalism, but they
have been led off after a chimera and
without calculating the issues and consc-
quencss. Yes, gentlemen of Michigan,
the place to purify the party is in the
ranks. We all have allied ourselves to
the party for the advancement of certain
general principles, more than likely not
agreeing with all the tencts and acts OF
particular party men. If we here and
there break into small strings and bands,
the corruptionists will have greater sway.
There is no questioning that there are
many corrupt men in the party who have
brought disrcpute upon the party, and
some, installing their duties in the prem
Uses, have hurriedly left the party on this
dclusive idea. Let us "carry the war
INTO India" by sticking to the party and
crowding the bad men down. T. we are
really for reform, as is pretended by the
Liberals, we can best fight corruption
on its ground, and not in an organization
that has little to recommend it and is less
likely to succeed.

General Sheridan has ordered Gen.
Grierson, with two companies, TO reoc-
cupy Fort Gibson and capture and drive
out murdercrs and marauders in the In
dian Territory. Ii is expected that this
action of the Government will restore
confidence between the settlers and
peaccable Indians on the border of Ar
kansas. The fort was abandoned by
order Of Gen. Pope, but the terrible al
fray reported from Fort Smith shows
the necessity of keeping force of sold
iers in that section.
