Kansas )d. KILLER, EDITOR. WHITE CLOUD, KAKSAS: Tkirsiij, KsHroeer 3, 1851. Overdoing the Thing. Bat few weeks ago.

the editor of the Iowa Point Dispatch, in ft fit.of honesty, declared that, if he could aaj nothing in favor of hia own party candidate, he would not endeavor to villify thoae of the I opposite part j. Bat it seems that he bai already forgotten that laudable resolution; for in hia last issue he psys hia rwpect to aome of the Republican candidates, in column or more of slang. The greater portion of the article ia devoted to Win. D. Beeler and from pernial of it, we 'judge that the author set vat upon lying expedition, determined not to touch upon truth throughout the entire ronte.

If so, he has succeeded admirably. The beauty of it is, the article was dictated (knowing ones say written) by Thomas J. Vander-eliee, himself candidate for the Legislature, The article begins with ft The writer says that he penned it at the car-neat solicitation of who are Mr. BeeleVe warmest friends. Now, Mr.

Beeler's friend are those who have been in Kansas throngh her troubles, and are well acquainted with him. It is extremely probable that these men would apply to a young squirt, (nineteen years old,) who is not yet dry behind the ears, and who has not been in the Territory six months, for a history of Mr. Beeler, whom he scarcely knows, Lie No. 11 The writer said he had intended to givo Mr. Beeler a fair and honorable chance but, co and so.

The but implies that, upon consideration, he does not intend to deal fairly and honorably with him. The next point made is, that when Mr. Beeler was elected Sheriff of Holt County, he was a strong Pro-Slavery man. Now, the fact is, at that time there waa bnt very little said npon the Slavery question in Missouri; and it was only referred to once on election day, when Mr. Beeler was ft candidate.

A certain prominent citizen of Holt, now a resident of Brownville, Nebraska, said he liked Beeler well enongh, but had misgivings as to voting for him, because he believed he was a Free Soiler. If there were grounds for such a belief, at a time when the Free Labor question was not at isane, Mr. Beeler could not have been a very strong Pro-Slavery man. Lie No. 2.

It is next asserted that He crossed the Missouri and located in Iowa Point, retaining the same prejudices he had always held in regard to alavery. While here, he held frequent intercourse with men in Holt County, aa to the beat and surest plan of securing slavery in this Territory." That is lie No. 3. But here comes the most important confession of all, to which we ask particular attention During the sitting of Tom Vander-slice's Grand Jury, Mr. Beeler waa present, and acted conspicuously aa a Pro-Slaveryite, held frequent and earnest conversations with Judge Atchison, who was present, and in his remarks to the Judge, said, 'bolt her through, Judge; if we haven't got votes enougli here to carry the Territory for slavery, by we can bring them from rn.rn.rn We charged, a short time since, that Mr.

Yanderslice was a member of the Grand Jury which indicted Free State men for voting, which was vehemently denied by the Dispatch. Yet here ia an article dictated by Mr. Yanderslice himself, in which, to beslime an opponent, he acknowledges the corn, and even calls it Tom Vandersl ice's Jury And if that Jury waa not engaged in some movement to keep down the Free State men, and carry the Territory for Slavery, why was such conversation as the above going on in Court Let voters remember the above admission. What were Judge Atchison and Tom Vanderalice'e Jury "bolting throngh," if it was not aome scheme to disfranchise Free State people? The foregoing extract contains some half a dozen lies. Besides being no Pro-Slavery man, Mr.

Beeler is not in the habit of nsing such language as there But listen again And he did bring them, but as the statistics show, ha didn't carry the Terri-, tory, and thia probably accounts for Beeler's present anti-slavery proclivities." Three or four more lies. It ia well known tnat toe Missonnans did come over and carry the Territory, the year that Tom Yanderslice'a Jury sat; and yet the historian of the Dispatch saya they did not Such truth telling is refreshing, and the author of it deserves a premium. let ns propound few questions. When Mr. Beeler first came to Kansas, and engaged in the mercantile business, ha had a partner in Oregon, MoT, now resident of Forest City.

If Mr. Beeler was such a ranting Pro-Slavery man, why did a certain brawling Slaveite at Iowa Point, whom Mr. Beeler had beaten for Sheriff of Holt Connty, and who tried to get the aame office here, go over to that partner, and tell him that Beeler was keeping regular Abolition hole, which shoold be looked to, or he would rain the trade If Beeler was each a strong Pro Slavery man, why did the Border Ruffians get up a set of resolutions, and proclaim them in the streets of Iowa Point, declaring that all who refused to sign them would be shown no mercy the object of which was to drive Beeler out of th Territory If Mr. Beeler was so strongly Pro-Slavery, why, whenever ft stranger stopped at his store, did the Pro-Slavery men keep sacb ft close watch npon it, and even go so far as to examine several persons, for lear they might be Free' State spies? The writer of the Dispatch Article knew all those things, for be was one of the acton in the scenes, yet he suppresses the truth, and resorts to the basest kind of falsehoods. -But the thing has been overdone, and is having its eflect, as will be seen at the "election.

Honorable men of all parties, who know Mr. Beeler, know that The charges against him are false, and they are having a contrary effect from what waa intended. Voters, remember that these slanders appear in ft paper whose nominal editor ia ft candidate for School Commissioner, and that persona who are competent to know, assert that they were written by a candidate for the Legialaturet The slang in reference to the other can-didates, is not deserving of a notice. The writer snarls at "Joseph Bemstead," the candidate for Recorder. Our advice to the Dispatch is, when it wants to lie about a man, to at least first find oat what his name is.

Fobobttiso tbs Past. Why ia it we still continually hear, from the De.mocrat- tic papers and speakers, the cry about "forgetting the past," "burying past dif ferences," and letting "by-gonea be by eones?" When men thus beg for the past to be forgotten, is it not reasonable to suppose that the past has some memories of deeds of darkness, scenes of disgrace, nnpleasant facts A person or party that has always labored to perform good deeds, is not desirous to hare the past forgotten. One whose past life has been pure, seeks not thus to hare that past blotted from the memory of man. Did yon ever hear the Free State or Re publican party of Eansss, beg that their past history might be forgotten No The whine for the past to be forgotten, rises long, loud and dismr.lly through out the length and breadth of Kansas but it comes all the while, from Demo cratsold Pro-Slavery Democrats, and traitors from the Free State'ranks. Republicans proudly point to the past, as a witness of what they have endured, what they have suffered, and what they have accomplished; while the Democracy shrink from it as a thing hideous to their sight, and cry that it may be buried in oblivion.

Let honest men observe, and decide which are possessed of the consciousness of hav ing been engaged in a holy cause, and in laboring for righteous objects. Yes, we ssy, let the past be forgotten, aa far as personal revenge and animosity are concerned but when you are called upon to select men for places of public trust or honor, or to make lawa for you, then let the past be remembered in all its bitterness Next Tuesday We presume it is unnecessary to remind Free State men that the election comes off next Tuesday. Every one should turn out. It is no time to hsng back now. Turn outl and if you have a neighbor who is lukewarm in the slightest degree, go to him, and have him to accompany you.

See that he goes, and votes. Don't take his pro mise that he will be along soon, for if you don't take him with yon, he will not go at all. We've got to carry the Connty, on Tuesday and to do so, we must rote. It mutt be carried, and if yon come up to the scratch, it will be carried. It is a time of the year when every person can spare a day to go to the election and if he don't go, his crops will fail, next year.

Don't lag, with the notion that it will go all right without your vote; for it will not your vote is needed to gain victory. It ia but poor consolation, after the election, to tell the people that we would have succeeded, only so many persona here, and so many there, neglected to vote. Now, remember what we have told yon. i As was Expected. It waa anticipated, aa soon as the Harper'a Ferry affair waa announced, that it would make grand capital for the Democracy.

So it has turned out Their papers are teaming with charges against the Black on the strength Now, it hss not been shown that a ainglo Republican was connected with it It waa principally the doings of the cracy man. Brown, and aome mad fools that followed him. A draft from Gerritt Smith ia said to have been found among Brown's papers but Gerritt is not a Republican, by ft long ways. On the contrary, they are not radical enough for him and only last year he ran as an independent candidate for Governor of New York, against the regular Republican nominee. Vote for J.

Witn At it tUcttd, won't he have all the bungling mistakes of old Noah Webster corrected That will be his firat cosiness The Dispatch aays that when Parrott waa in Iowa Point. last weak, be presented a wo-begone appearance. Ansel has no idea as to what woe-begone look ia. If he wants to realize the genu ine thing itself, let him peep into a looking-glass, any time after next Tuesday I Won't The Dispatch ia out this week earlier than osoaL and howls most dismally about Beeler and White Clood. Here is a specimen: BepubucaksI those of yon who would do what yon could to injure Iowa Point, VOTE FOR WILLIAM BEELER! He ia the worst enemy our City has ever had arrayed against her, and ia now running aa a candidate for the advancement of certain local itiee, under the disguise of Republicanism The Dispatch contains another article, of half colomn, whining piteonaly about the schemes of White Cloud.

It ssys Beeler was nominated, in order to have the Legislature cut off ft portion of Doniphan County, and attach it to Brown, and that the line will run through the Highland town aite. And thia ia to be done, aays the Dispatch, in order to secure to White Cloud the trade of Brown County Now. all thia ia intended to aound dreadful to aome folks, but nobody can be caught with such bait The people of White Cloud, last Winter, petitioned to have a small corner of Doniphan attached to Brown. The line would have run no nearer to Highland than aix miles. Mr.

Beeler then lived in Iowa Point, did not sign the petition, and knew nothing of it nntil the matter waa before the Leg islatnre. Since last Winter, the subject had not been broached, and we do not believe it waa thought of in connection with this election, nntil some wiseacre at Iowa Point happened to get it into his pate, and imagined it would make glori ous capital. He forthwith had "section al intercourse" with the verdant "School Commissioner" of the Dispatch, impreg' nated him with the brilliant idea, and commanded him to howl. The sole object of this bagaboo is to excite the people of Iowa Point npon a local issue, and especially the merchants. who are men of influence, and aeveral of whom are Republicana.

The Dispatch must think the people down there are fools. There waa a time when the Pro- Slavery itee could make if tell by crying, Oh, vote the Iowa Point ticket the other ticket waa gotten op by White Cloud, to break down Iowa Point They have carried elections npon that issue but that time is past. The basinets of jealousy between petty town sites has lost its charm, and nen have taken stand npon principle. If we are not greatly mistaken, the Repnblicsns of Iowa Point are made of truer metal than all that comes to and we do not believe the ailly cry will influence three votes against Mr. Beeler.

Republicans can no longer be induced to sacrifice their prin ciples, and jeopardise the success of their ticket, because aome of the candidates chance to live ia towna which the Pro Slavery men of Iowa Point have spot ted" aa a rival or their City." 8ome folks have moderately good memories, and yet recollect the boast made by t'ro-iavery democrat, alter carrying the Township npon just such an issoe. Said he: I believe there is a Free State majority in the Township but all we have to do, ia to get np an issue between Iowa Point and White Cloud, and all of them down thia way rote for the interest of Iowa Point So we can just lead them aa we please, and carry the Town- a snip lor me democratic ticket every time Such a game has been played. bat it has been played successfully for the Iaat time. Republicans are determined to vote tbfir sentiments, and such fus tian is only wasted npon them. They are not to be duped so easily.

Is not the idea supremely ridiculous, that a change in County lines would affect the trade of White Cloud Will the youthful Solon of the Dispatch toll ns in what way an imaginary line would operate npon trade? WonId.it make gooda cheaper or mote plentiful in White Cloud than in Iowa Point? Would it make the roada better or shorter, or the merchants more accommodating? Bob Watroas ia aa smart as the old lady away np on the borders of Yankeedom. She had always bought she lived in Canada; but the line waa surveyed, and it was fonnd that she lived on the Vermont side. Well, she said, ahe waa glad of it, for it waa ao awful cold in Canada Will he alao tell us in what way Mr. Beeler'a election would injure Iowa Point? Could he have a law passed to suppress Iowa Point; to prevent people from trading there or to cause the river to leave the town Any person who wpuld serious ly pen and publish snch stuff, must be a greater fool than he takes those Repnbli cans to be, whom he ia trying to inflo ence. He will have hia trouble for hia pains.

If he ia not sick of hie mare's nest" before he is throngh with it, then we are mistaken that's all. Since this local question his been drag' ged into the canvass, let us relate ft little circumstance. Aa the conversation we shall allude to was not confidential, we are not bound to secrecy. When the candidates for the Constitutional Conven tion were here, a few daya before the election, they were accompanied by Mr. Lee, the Democratic candidate for Recor der, who had just joined the Slavers.

He waa preaching hia Democracy to us, and contended that the Democracy were not opposed to annexing White Cloud to Brown Connty." Said he: "IH tell yon how to do it Just go with the Demoo- racy, if yon people np Here will vote the ticket, and elect Democrats to the Legislature, I pledge yon my word, yon I can he annexed to Brown County, next Winter." We toll hiei we were not so anxiooi as. all that came If wo had been, we have not the slightest doubt but that every Democratic candidate would have pledged himself for the 'measure. John W. Form an, in eommnnjcation to the Dispatch, about the time of the adjournment of the Constitutional Con vention. stirred np this aame question, a an inducement for the people of White Cloud to vote against the Constitution.

Now, let the Dispatch' howl about the Republican candidates being pledged to the scheme! way to no it. Do you wish to accomplish anything for the especial ben efit of Doniphan. County, in the next Le gislature If yon do, elect the Repnbli can Yon may ask why they can accompliah more than the Pro-SLv verv candidate -That ia plain. The Legulutnre will largely Republican and men who harmoniously co-operate with the majority, can accomplish ten times aa much as those who are continu ally seeking some pretext for debate and wrangling. (Beside, where the members of a Legislajjve body act in harmony, they can transact much more business than when there ate a number going contrary.

We had sufficient evidence of this in the Wyandotte Convention. The Pro-Slavery men there did all in their power to retard business, and kept np a continual wrangling on every question brocght up for consideration. They did not even pause to secure advsntagea to their respective Counties and the result was, all the Conntiea ao misrepresented, received less than their just dues. No Legislative body ia going to bestow par' ticular favora npon any County, when its representatives use no honorable exertions towards securing If we want to be heard, we must send op men who will treat the majority with respect, and co operate with them, instead of oppoaing every movement, and even resorting to violence to accomplish their ends. Elect the Republican candidates, and yonr in terests will receive attention.

A Sti.voixq Rebuke. Every Demo cratic member of the Constitutional Con' vention, left that body, and refused to sign the Constitution. They went home, and asked their constituents, and the con stitnents of the Republican members, to indorse their conduct The result hss been such, that if they have any feeling left, they must feel the rebuke keenly, Scarcely a single County has given a majority against the Constitution. How do you feel, McDowell, Stinson, Hippie, Slough, Parks, Perry, Brown, McCune, Foster, and Wright, of Leavenworth? How do yon feel, Forman. Wrigley, Hubbard, and Stairwell, of Doniphan How feel you, McCIellan, of Jefferson, Moore, of Jackson, and Barton, of John son 7 Don you wish your names were signed to the Constitution of the State of Kansas, and that the people hadn't snub bed you so i Isjtdicious.

Yon mnst recollect that, where such a thing would secure vote in yonr town, there msy be dozen other places where it woold lose vote. There is a possibility of precisely the same pledges having been given to other towns in fact, we hunt there have been. 1 Bnt oth ers take care to keep it to themselves.

The article in question, in the hsnds of persons disposed to make capital of it, would cause the loss of at laaat a hundred votes in the Connty. If they were only lost to the head of the ticket, it wonld not matter, for be ia able to stand it; but it would produce a corresponding damage to the County ticket, and that ia not able to stand it.

The apostasy of Holiday and the Tribune ia resulting just as might be ex ported. Holiday has been nominated for the Legislature by the Democrats of Shawnee County, and the Tribune will hereaner be ft Democratic blow-pipe.

But the idea that Holiday could have been the Republican nominee for or dog-pelter, ia exquisitely fanny. He could have received it about aa easily aa Wilson Shannon could and if there had been the remotest chance for him, he would have said "Yes," quicker than a frog could lick its tail.

It is easy to foresee the end oi tnese tuings. arrott win receive a large majority in both Northern and Southern Kansas, and Holiday will be badly beaten in Shawnee.

Holiday haa presented hia name to the Democratic Convention, as a candidate for Governor, and was beautifully snubbed, having received all the way to ten votes! Can't the Tribune blow a little on that, and tell ns how easily Holiday could have received the nomination, if he had but asked for it? A few more days, and we shall hear no more of Holiday I Pbetty Goon. Mr. Kingman, candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, gets off a good thing.

He says he expects to be elected without opposition, if men vote according to their profession for Republicans will not vote sgainst him and Democrats cannot certainly vote for any opponent who may be placed on the track, from the fact that every prominent Democrat in the Territory, before the late election, declared that the Constiution allowed negroes to vote and Democrats certainly will not vote for men for Judges who have already decided that negroes may vote under the Constitution tW Old Brown's trial ia going on, in Virginia. They are rushing it ahead without much ceremony, and he will undoubtedly be sentenced to death. That ia a foregone conclusion, and they might aa well hang him up without a trial, if it were not for the name of the thing. Ia the meantime, the attempt to saddle his affair upon the Republican party, ia a flash in the pan. We have not yet heard of a single Republican who indorsee or justifies his mad scheme.
