It represents Squatter Sovereigntyit is tho voice of tho people of Kanzas, forming their institutions for themsslves. A Democratio Senate, from which emanated tho Organo Act refused us admission and told ns our Constitution must emanate from the Territorial Legislature or from the armed invaders The) Topeka Constitution.

The Topeka Coubtitution in, on Monday next, to be agaiu subiuittod to the people for ratiiication. Our opponents in Congrexs have opponod our admission undor it, declaring that it was not sanctioned by the voice of our people and that it is the Cos titution of a party. We have now an opportunity of comparing the number of those favorable to the Topeka Constitution with that of those in opposition to it. The Pro-Slavery party in their olectiou of Delegates to the Constitutional Convention which is to assemble at Lecompton polled their strength. The Convontiou'at Locompton will frame a Constitution which will be submitted to Congress.

That Constitution will be Pro-Slavery in character. The Delegates to that Convention dare not do otherwise than form a Pro-Slavery Constitution. They will not submit that Constitution to the peopleor if they do, they will follow the intimation of the Washington Union by declaring what persons shall bo privileged to vote upon it. It may be well enough for editors anxious to enrich themselves by the Public Printing and weak pettifoggers who peddle their Freo-State principles about the Land offices at Lccompton to believe that Gov. Walker has the power to influence that Convention to submit their Constitution to the whole people.

It "may be well enough for such persons to be satisfied with Gov, Walker's avowal that he will oppose that Constitution unless it is submitted to the whole people. For ouiselves, we confess to no such verdancy, That Convention will do just what it was elected to doeither by the olectiou Does he not know that in "all probability Kanzas will be admitted at a freo or slave State before that Territorial Legialuture aHHtmibles, and that its assembling intended by tho free-State men, to be a mere nominal affair i. We do earnestly hope to see such a vote for the Topeka Constitution, on next Monday, as will rebuke those lukewarm free-State men, who are more to be feared than open and avowed enemies. Incendiary. We quoto the following Inflammatory article front a lata number ot the West- port Star of It has been sneirested that retaliation somewhat of this nature should be fol lowed up, bearing in mind that aelf-inter.

est, is tlte monarch paueion of these Abo litionists, 'llial the next time a slave runs away, for instance to Quindaro. send a deputation to claim the same, supported by legal evidence. Then if they refuse to give hiin up either by concealment or force, close the Missouri trade entirely from their benefit. But let it he done first, through the free expressed will of JHissourians on the border. Let every steamboat be commanded not to land at the Free-State town on the Missouri river, witn the penalty of being sunk.

Why should our waters be open to free commerce, building up abolition towns and interest, and they refuse to give up to us property to which vt are justly entitled by the laws of the country. But we would not carry the war into Africa. We would only retaliate so far as to compel them to quit stealing and har bouring our slaves. It becomes a sovereign right of the State of Missouri, when tue lugitive slave law is lifeless as the tomb, to protect the property of her citi-sens. If the State at large will not rfn it, then it devolves upon those who are the immediate sufferers.

We hear of slaves kidnapped in this way almost every day. It is time retaliation should commence. It is the only way to work those people up to what is ngut." The evident intention of this effusion is to excite the mind of the Missourians on a sudjcci in regard to wnicn they are most sensitive. We venture to say that 1 i -i there is no ground for any such a sweep ing assertion as it contained in these in viduous paragraphs. We have already heard that a few weeks ago the citizens of Westport were exasperated by a report that a slave from that town had been sheltered hero, and they have since learned that that rumor was maliciously false.

We presume that tho citizens of Quindaro are not inclined to institute an inquisi tion before which negroes entering the town will have to appear and answer cer tain questions as to where, they are from, and we know they are not in thi least inclined to countenance fugitives should they be known as suclu In factper8 bumed 0,1 tlie town nd'aw'of to confront it by a Constitution that bears the freth seal of a Majority and Congress, acting in accordance with that true policy which ever harmonizes with the principles of jUHtiw, will hurl the bogus bantling back npon its progenitors and welcome Kanzas into tho Union, a Free State, under thei Topeka Constitu tion. It then, indeed, is the duty of all persons who are bonu Jt residents of Kanzas to rally at the polls on Monday next and record a vote in favor of a free dom that no ex font facto decision can eliminate, i 1 I I I Tho "Squatter Sovereign," on the Topeka Constitution. We publish the following article from the Squatter Sovereign of the 25th entitled "The Topeka Proceedings," for the purpose of adding a few comments, such as we deem such an erroneous article justly merits publish the proceedings of the Topeka Convention in another place, and they will doubtless attract very general attention. To judge by the resolutions, it might be inferred that the gentlemen who are directing this Topeka movement knew nothing and intended to know nothing but the Topeka Constitution and its machinery we are gratified however to learn from thoso who attended the con vention, that even among these gentlemen there is a strong and growing sentiment in favor of a more moderate and practical policy, in favor of voting for a Delegate to Congress, and for members of the Territorial Legislature, which Legislature will take the initiative in favor of a convention to draft a Constitution under which the Territory will ask admittance into the Union as a State aye, more, as a free, Republican State. This fact is further manifest from the provision made by-the Convention itself for anothor Topeka Convention at Grasshopper Falls, the latter part of August.

'Hi) I is to be a mass Convention, and to it is to be submitted the question of going into the October election. How that question will be decided, we have but little doubt. It ought to be and will be in the The peoplo will vote in October, and the result of that voting will be to settle the question ef the Freedom of Kanzas. i The August election is a mere side play, which will answer as an effort to the June election for members of a Constitutional Convention, or Walker's conquest of Lawrence. Ihese things are all well enough in their respective places capital courses upon which young politicians may exhibit their speed and bottom, and manifest thoir devotion to "liberty," "principles," "constitutional rights," and all that sort of thing but nothing more.

We do not know that any particular harm is contemplated or is like to grow out of them, and we are thcreiore disposed to let them all go it. We trust, however, that every county and every Free State man in the Territory will be prepared for the October trial, and that the Free State men will present the very best material to be found in their ranks both for the Legislature and for It will be the men voted for and elected at that election in whose hands will be the future destinies of the Terri tory. and they should therefore bo the very best men to be found in jf We know not whether tho above emanated from the gentleman who spoke so strongly in favor of the Topeka move ment, at Quindaro, on the evening of July 21, or from him who wrote back such valient promises'to the Xenia (0.) Torchlight; but wo suppose that one or the other of these persons whose names stand at the head of the Sovereign'! columns may be regarded as its author, and which of them it matters very little. The article is a miserable misrepresentation- a paltry attempt to place the Free-State party in a false position by misconstruing their intentions and distorting their ac tions. No gentleman who attended that Cot vention at Topeka, with any regard for truth, could have given the author of the above any grounds to suppose that it ever entered into the minds of the Free State men, that they were to vote for a Territorial Legislature that "will take the initiative in favor of a Convention to draft a Constitution under which the Ter ritory will ask admittance into the Union as a If after having the state ments of his informants he 'had turned to the resolutions unanimously confirmed by the Convention he would have seen that there was a glaring discrepancy, for those resolutions admit of no possible adiustmeni of affairs in Kanzas, save through and by the Topeka Constitution, The Topeka Constitution is to be sub mitted to the people of Kanzas, to provide a counter-movement for the Lecompton villainy, and also to prove to the enemies of that instrument, between whom there can be no distinction made, that what they are so violently opposed to has not only been the safeguard of freedom in Kanzas heretofore, but that because of this and the high ends yet, to be attained through its instrumentality, it has been endeared to the mass of thei peo ple and is still their first' and "only choice.

The August election, then, instead of being "a meresid play," is freighted with deep interest to every man who. feels at all solicitous to have Kanzas made a free State, in an honorable and dignified wtT who desires to see ruffianism rebuked, and justice and right When the largest delegate convention that ever assembled in Kanzas, has pronounced the Topeka Constitution a finality, is it not gross presump tion for even a nominal free-State editor to ignore that decision as is done la the above extract If he pretend to be in favor of free Kanzas, is it not treacher eu to eooly misconstrue ths intention of thoss who must make it free, by distort to Congress. Should we be disturbed in tho exercise of our right and duty to voto, then, as American citizens, we know how to defend and our rights. Let every Free-State-man, then, no matter what his previous party predilections may have been, vote for the Topeka Constitution next Monday. (gov.

Walker' PromlaeB. What more can the Free-State mon in justice demand, than has boon promis ed by Gov, Walker was asked of us, during a receut visit to Cincinnati, by a friend who stands prominent in the Dem ocratio ranks. The particular promise of Gov. Walker, to which allusion was made, was that in regard to submitting the Lecompton Constitution to a vote of the people. For more than two years the people of Kanzas have been forcibly deprived of their rights by a horde of invaders, aided and abetted by the leaders of the Democratio party, and yet, during that entire period the clamor has been, Just let the Democratio party have the management of affairs, and all will go well in Kanzas." It is very post that this party is so skilled in double- dealing, that it might, at the same time, encourage Border Ruffianism, and extend the area of Freedom by making Kanzas free but there are many who have not had so much confidence in the versatility of its powers, and have therefore distrusted the policy of giving Kanzas en tirely into its hands for such disposition as it might choose to make.

A great many persons here have about the same degree of confidence in the power and re liability of the agent of that party, Rob' ert J. Walker. i He has said that, he would uso his in fluence to have the Lecompton Constitu tion submitted to the people and, now, what will be the probable weight of that influence when thus directed The Bogus Convention will know that their off spring, be its character what it may, will be crushed out by the ballots of the peo pie just so surely as it is subjected to a vote. Is it probable that with this con viction sunk deep into their minds, they will hazard that darling instrument whose conception was in villainy, and whose parturition will be amidst conscious hu miliation, to a rite that must inevitably produce its sudden destruction A large proportion of the men who will sit in the Lecompton Convention, have been, for many months past, cngagod in a most desperate effort to wrest the fair prairies of Kanzas from Northern emigrants, and make it a slave state. Can any one rea sonably suppose that even Gov.

Walker could prevail uppn them to relinquish the last hope they have of forcing a Pro Slavery Constitution upon the people To suppose that his Excellency, should his official life be prolonged till beyond the sitting of that Convention, by an expression, of his desires, could influence men to take a suicidal course, who have had governor after governor sacrificed to their spleen, is an exercise of faith that requires even more than ordinary demo cratic credulity. And what we do not believe his desires would accomplish, we are quite as far from believing will be brought about by his threatened alterna tive of taking the stump. What will the memberp of the Lecompton Conven- care if W'alker does take the stump against their Constitution, and what good, pray, will his taking the stump do, if it is 'not submitted to the people Now here is a jumbling up of promises mado to gull and deceive such Free-State men as are prone to believe Walker sincere, bearing with them prima facte evidence of insincerity and studied intrigue. Had Walker's course been more digni fied, more manly, less petulant and less partizan, we might not see in his promises only the masque of an infernal design to force upon Kanzas through knavery what thay failed to through violence. We do not doubt that it is the intention of the Lecompton Convention to frame a Pro-Slavery Constitution we believe it is already prepared, cut-and-dried for the action of the Convention to present that Constitution to Congress and demand ad mission into the Union under it and this we believe will yet be done, and no doubt Walker so understands it.

It is true there may be an understanding that Walker for tho sake of effect will bloviate a little upon such a line of action, but what of that for whilst he will thus make a fair show to the world he will most heartily sympathize with the stroke of villainy. Here are some reasons' why the Free-State men are not inclined to consider Walker's promises as sufficient to rest the future of Kanzas upon. Being where they can see the maneuvering of these crafty devotees of slavery, the people know full well that through them, had they the power, not only would the freedom of Kanzas be sacrificed, "but also the very confidence which honest and well meaning Democrats of the States are now reposing in them. Because of the evident design to make Kanzas a slave State despite the will of the. majority of her citixeus and the wishes of a majority of the people of the whole country, the Topeka Constitution has been brought forth and again presented to the people for their ratification.

We feel confident that it will be endorsed by a large vote in the State.

Col.TiTrs--of brilliant military reflownin Kanzas and Nicarngna has turned to this Territory, lis arrived at Leavenworth on the New Lucy, Thnrs day rJght. If rcporf a true, there are 1 gome persons in Kansas who hare been from Missouri, who by conquering tho ballot-box, electod that Legislature. The question horo is shall Squatter Sovcreign-J ty rule, or shall we go to the armed mob from Missouri for our Constitution? Shall the people of Kanzas rule, or must they bo compelled to go to Missouri for permission to frame their Constitution We stand on the Organio Act, let us push the issue home I It is useless to tell us we can now vote that we can gain possession of the Ter ritorial Legislature and that our Topeka Constitution can then emanate from that Legislature.

What validity would such a course give to our Constitution? Is thore any man in his senses who will claim that any valid law can emanate from authority which of itself is invalid and had its origin in palpable violation of every Constitutional provision and of the Organac Act Does the sanction given by the Administration and by a Na tional Democratio Convention to the usurpation in Kanzas make the Legisla ture elected in violation of the Organic Act and of the Constitution, a valid Legislature and its acts consequently so? We think not. In our opinion such a course wonld weaken our case it should be a reason for voting against the Constitution. It is unnecessary and useless to submit our Constitution to any such action. State after State has been admitted into the Union without such au thority.1 Why should the people of Kanzas bo subjected to any such course We ask Congress to admit us as other States have been admitted, and not compel us to seek throngh fraud and illegal ity a right we possess by precedent and from the fundamental principles of our Government. Let us adhere to this po sition.

It is a principle of Democracy that when a Government becomes unjust and tyrannical, the people have the right to overthrow that Government and estab lish another. Admitting the Territorial Government to be valid, no one cau doubt its injustice and tyranny. We wish to know if the Democracy of the present clay adhere to that principle Let them meet the issue. All the people of Kanzas ask, to be treated justly. Their Constitution is the Topeka Constitution.

In framing it they violated no law. It was a political necessity, originating from a people borne down by fraud and usurpation and adopt' ed as a means of ridding them from the effects of that fraud and usurpation. No principle of the Constitution, of the Or ganic Act, or of the Legislation of the country was violatod by its adoption. In adhering to it, they simply adhere to that which they can justly demand. The people of Kanzas by voting again upon that Constitution reiterate their hatred of mob law, and their determination never to submit to subjugation.

It will not do to allow the enactment of the Bogus Legislature to receive any respect or ohe dience from ns. Let history record that this, the vilest, the most imfamous and disgraceful usurpation known to our country, and considering the age and the people, the most disgraceful ever known, has met with a defeat worthy of its Let this be done, the day of fraud and usurpation will pass away. Our votes for the Topeka Constitution are to decide how far fraud shall be successful. Our Candidates Are all good and true men, and deserve at our hands unwavering support. We have placed them in front, and in their hands have we entrusted our banner.

That banner under which we have fought, and for which many of our friends and brothers have died, and now, when that for which we have so long struggled, and met hardship and privation, is just within our. grasp, shall, we hesitate to reach forth our hands and take it It is not necessary to speak of the candidates by name, they are all tout and all stand pledged to the Topeka Constitution, not only by word but by a life of devotion to it, and they are also the Represent' tives of the peoplt selected by them to act in their stead. Let us then next Monday, all who be lieve that the Topeka Constitution should be the Constitution of the State of Kan em, who believe that the future interest; of the State will be better subserved, and her resources more fully and quickly developed by free than by slave labor, rally at the polls, and show to the World that we mean something when- wa say we are Free-State men, and that we can and will exercise our glorious inheritance the Ehciivt franchwtM well with U. S. Dragoons looking on, as without.

The Topeka Constitution is endeared to as by the sacrifices which have been made for it, by the blood of our brethren, shed in its defence, and because it is ours, the vorh of th people, and he who deserts it now, deserves not the name of Free' State-man. The Free-State party have yet another effort to put forth. In Octo ber we mast prove what we have said that the great majority of the people of Kansas are with ns and of us, and we consent of Gov. Walker or in defiance of his consent. Whon have the Representatives of the Pro-Slavery party ever faltered, from any step, however infamous What care they for Governors? Let the retreating forms of Reeder, Shannon and Geary answer I The Pro-Slavery party fear Gov.

Robinson and the Topeka Constitution more by far, than they fear Gov. Walker with Gen. Harney and the Dragoons at his back. But Walker is not opposed to the Lecompton Convention, nor will he oppose its Constitution, The Union says he was sent here to thwart the designs of the Topeka Abolitionists which simply means the Topeka Constitution. Shall Gov.

Walker succeed? Shall the Topeka Constitution a second time sanctioned by the poople meet the Lecompton Constitution which will not and cannot receive their sanction, on the floor of Congress Or shall their Constitution, the work of fraud and usurpation, without a corporal's guard of voters here to sustain it go to a Democratic Congress to be cordially accepted by them and placed in the confederation? These are the questions now at issue and upon them every Free-State man must decide. i i We want Congress to decide between the Constitution of the People of Kanzas and a Constitution forced upon us by the People from Missouri and the Dragoons cf the United States. Let the Administration accept the issue our Constitution will make if they dare 1 Let them if they dare, assume the responsibility of rejecting our Constitution and accept instead the Missouri Constitution which will be tinkered npi at the Lecompton Convention. We have had enough of "hoy's play" with the elective franchise, and with Constitutional Rights in Kanzas It is time now to be serious. Iet us push the question home i Douglas is not only anxious for the Presidency, but to be sent back to the seat which he has so disgraced in the Senate, This will be good issue i for him to be elected upon.

It will trouble him far more than his fears of the mixture of the races. Let every Feee-Stati max vote for the TopekA Constitctioh Every vote for it will furnish an argument for our admission under it! Every vote for it, will be a condemnation of the FftAtD and Tnussy now forcod upon us! Every vote for it will aid in constituting our verdict in favor of the 1,800,000 vo tors Who Stood by ns in the last Presi dential canvass and be a. contribution of strength which they can wield with migh ty power on those hard fought fields when the banner of "Buchanan and Free Kan zas" defeated us! Every vote for it will weaken our enemies, encourage our friends and hasten the time when Fatssox shall de National and Slavery Sectional 1 Let no man vote nay because he wishes that Kanzas should remain under a Ter ritorial form of. Government. Kanzas must be admitted into the Union as a State either under the Missouri Constitu tion, or the Constitution of the people.

The country demand the question shall be settled, and it is for our interest that it should be Where will Buchanan find a man within the ranks of his party so anxious to commit political suicide as. to accept the position of Governor after Walker shall be confined in the lunatic asylum? There are other issue impending upon this question, equally important and responsible. The Organic Act when it invited ns to this Territory, left us free to form our institutions in our own way, subject only to the Constitution, This they called Squatter Sovereignty. This right of splf-gorernment was wrested from ns by armed invaders from Missouri We declared that we would not submit to such fraud, Wa wantnd a pure ballot box where none but bona fid citisens of Kanzas should vote. wJi our we regard the above paragraphs as being entirely gratuitous, and written for no other, purpose than of rekindling that Border-hostility which manifested itself in outrages upon the homes of innocent settlers.

"Quindaro-Where is that This language used few days since by (he Clerk of the Morrow House, Lawrence, to a guest who asked at what time tho coach left for It seems to be in character with the settled policy of that hotel. Reports reach us from time to time, of gross misrepresenta tion through inuendo and otherwise of the' prospects and progress of Quindaro, from the proprietors and attaches of the Morrow." It is a well known fact that the proprietors or those' intimately connected with them ore heavily interested in a 'town, and hence their spleen towards our thriving young place But this is no excuse for their unscrupulous favoriteism, so long as they profess to keep a hotel for public accommodation. Every citizen of Quindaro, who visits Lawrence, should stop at the "Whitney" or some Other house where the truth is told about the river towns. Our. friends from the East should remember, when they get to Kanzas, that if the people of the Morrow House willfully misrepresent in one case, they may in many others and should patronize some' hotel where they can obtain reliable information in regard to any and all Territorial matters.

for the information of the Morrow House, we will state that a Coach for Quindaro leaves that and all the other Lawrence hotels, at seven o'clock every as it has done for the last three or four months. 1 i'-i'-i Advertisiso Agesct is St; Locis.i-We solicit the attention of onr cotcmpo-poTsries to the1 Advertising Agejncy of J.
