ANOTHER (?)
There are evidence that persons from Missouri will attempt to (?) the results of the election on next Monday. A (?) concocted at Washington last (?) of
which we were applied by persons whose knowledge (?) We have had no reason to question name so be developing. This may not be to- (?) does not say that it is-but will state what grounds there are to justify such apprehensions.
Within the past fortnight more than five hundred men-some estimates are as high as one thousand-have crossed the river from Missouri into Kanzas, between this point and Weston, with the ostensible purpose of occupying the Delaware Reserve lands in this county. The most of them are armed. The majority of them are strangers to the citizens of Missouri who live immediately upon the border, and the strangers are represented as being a rough, uncouth set. Their intentions may be the most honorable, but the following considerations may warrant the doubts which some entertain in regard to them.
It is a well authenticated fact that the Blue Lodges have been actively though very secretly at work for months past-so secretly that many of the well-disposed citizens of Missouri have not even suspected what was transpiring in their midst.
There has been no treaty with the Delawares for their lands; a rumor has been circulated that they would soon be open for settlement; before the report had publicity in Kanzas, these Missourians were drifting toward the Reserve; the Indians have appealed to the agent, Robinson, to protect their lands, and he, a government official, has taken no steps towards complying, and has even expressed doubts as to his authority to act-some suspect that he will dally with the Indians till after the election when there will be no need of his intervention as these "settlers" will be non inventus est.
It is understood in Missouri that the so-called Democratic party here want votes; it is understood that members of the Blue Lodge know more about this exodus than a mere cognisance of the fact; it is a fact that men hearing the Reserve lands were attainable, came over with honest intentions of settling but finding nothing to authorize such a proceeding, returned to their homes; those who remain on the Reserve are encamped in considerable companies and are, we understand, generally composed of those who are not known along the state line.
The facts may not warrant positive assertions but they do suggest the following inferences: that there is to be foreign influence at our election; that it was adroitly planned to create and use the Delaware land fever to disguise the movement; that the government officials and Democratic leaders are fully advised of the whole scheme, and will connive at its prosecution. And these inferences are strengthened by this language in Gov. Walker's proclamation: "The troops at my disposal, which are fully competent to the task, will, at the request of citizens of both parties, be stationed at the points where violence has been threatened, or anticipated, " which places it within the power of the Pro-slavery party to say where the troops shall be stationed.
Although apprised long ago by Pro-slavery men that it would be impossible to prevent results already adequately provided for, we never have until these recent developments apprehended that foreign influence at the polls of which there are now the above premonitory evidences. And even with these before us, we are not ready to predict any violence. But we advise every man to be prepared for whatever exigency may arise, to take without delay such precautionary steps as may be necessary to insure an efficient defense of the ballot-box and of your homes

"Forget the Past."
The candidates for the Pro-slavery party which recently; through a convention, changed its name to Democratic, have been (?) the county, and appealing to the people to forget the (?) and (?) which have disgraced the (?) (?) of Kanzas. Why is this? (?) (?) What persons and what party would be benefitted by erasing from the (?) of man that which has transpired in this territory!
In the struggle which has stained our soil there have been but two parties, one composed of Free-state and the other of Slave-state men. Were the actions of the Free-state party such that the Freedom of Kanzas now requires they should be blutted out from the book of remembrance and remembered no more forever? Does the prosperity of the Free-state party now demand that what Free-state party now demand that what Free-state men did in the past shall be frogotten? We answer, neither the one nor the other. Of the noble efforts mad by the Free-state party to thwart the scheme of Propagandism, no one need be ashamed, and those efforts kept constantly in review are sufficient to prompt all true men to whatever exortion may yet be necessary to make Kanzas a Free-state.k
But how is it with the record of the Pro-slavery party? Does the Freedom of Kanzas require that that black record be forgotten? Will a lively recollection of the attrocities by which Pro-slavery men tried to make Kanzas a Slave state tend- in any wise to enervate the purpose of her people to make her free? Will it not rather inspire them to more strenuous exertion, and make more certain the consummation for which so large a majority is devoutly wishing? But what effect does keeping the book of the past open have upon the Pro-slavery party? Blights every hope it has of ascendamey,-consigns to merited infamy every wretch who marched under the flag of slavery to force the institution upon an unblighted soil.
Here we have the matter. The past like Banquo's ghost, haunts the Pro-slavery party; it stands as an impassible barrier between that party and public favor. The Slave-state men alone have any cause to shrink from a review of the "reign of terror" in our borders. The cause of Freedom in Kanzas cannot be prejudiced by such a review; the Free-state party has no record that will not commend it to the admiration of the people; if the Democratic party was indeed organized here five weeks ago, it surely has no record to conceal from inspection; but the Pro-slavery party has a record that must necessarily damn it! Who then have good reasons to beseech us to forget the Past? Not those who love the cause of Freedom here; not the members of the Free-state party; not a Democratic party that has not existed here long enough to make a record, but the Pro-slavery! Therefore, whenever a man pleads that the Past should be forgotten, there need be no better evidence to prove that he wishes to buoy up a party which will sink irretrievably if its own sin and iniquity be fastened upon it.
"No Proscription! No Nullification!! No Abolitionism!!!"
Such is the heading of flaming posters set up by the "Conservative, Democratic Law and Order" party (ride Leav. Journal, Sept. 26) and we propose to say a few words relative thereto
Proscription is a word that Kanzas has a deep meaning, and in tracing its application we find that the Law and Order party is the only one that has proscribed citizens for their views, -that its members stole property and burned houses because they belonged to those who differed with them in political matters; destroyed hotels because they were not under Pro-slavery influence; broke up printing offices because the editors did not favor their policy; sacked towns because the inhabitants were not Border Ruffians; murdered and scalped men because of their Free-state proclivities; violated the chastity of women because they were the (?) And daughters of Free-state men. Oh how graceful the cry of "no proscription" falls from the lips of the "Conservative Democratic Law and Order party" of these latter days!
No Nullification! Kanzas has had her nullifiers, has been disgraced by those who, to accomplish their dark purposes, hesitated not a moment to set aside the best guarantees of human rights. The Democratic party nullified the Missouri Compromise in order to give the South of her people to make her free? Will
zas; the Law and Order party nullified the Kanzas-Nebraska Act by preventing through fraud and violence a peaceable adjustment of affairs at (?) ballot-box; the Democratic Law and Order party have nullified the Constitution of the United States by forcing upon the people of Kanzas a usurpation as vile as over enslaved a people. No wonder that party would now have the people forget the Past!
No Abolitionism! There is an Abolition party in Kanzas actin in concert with a powerful organization beyond our confines. Three years ago the Democratic party by breaking down the Missouri Compromise Line invite slaveholders to emigrate to Kanzas with their human shattles, assuring them that they should have the protection of th Government since then the Law and Order party has done all in its power to protect the introduction of slaves, and (?) (?) the (?) of (?) hundreds. That party declares that slavery (?) have. If Kanzas is made free the slavery (?) (?) be abolished- to this doctrine of the Conservative Democratic Law and Order party is the only abolitionism in the territory! In all these outories is it not plain that the rogues to shield themselves are shouting loudest and longest "stop thief!"
The Cloven-Foot Revealed!
We are glad for the cause of Freedom in Kanzas that we are enabled to publish prior to next Monday's election the following paragraph from last. Saturday's Leavenworth Journal, the strongest Democratic paper in our country;
OUR TICKET- The Democratic Conservative, Law and Order Ticket, meets with a favorable reception every where. It has good men and true upon it, and the MASSES have hailed it with pleasure and are rallying in legions to its support. "Rally, boys, rally," and the day is ours, NOW and FOREVER, let us crush Black Republicanism, and treason and rebellion, and proclaim and present and future triumph of the Constitution and the laws
Here is an open avowal by one of their own journals of a fact for which we have been contending from the beginning of the campaign, that the present so-called Democratic party is no more nor less than the Law and Order party-the party that under the motto of Law and Order persecuted Free State men, burned hotels, destroyed printing presses and devastated the territory. We honor the Journal for its manliness in throwing off the disguise with which the more designing and unprincipled leaders are trying to deceive honest voters, for its independence in thus placing the issue on the legitimate basis. And now when our fellowcitizens go to the polls we ask them to ponder upon this declaration of the Journal, to recur to the crimes perpetrated under the name of "Law and Order," and then decide whether they can safely invest any man who co-operates with that party with official authority.
Who are the Resurectionists?
The Conservative Democratic, Law and Order candidates in one breath beseach the people of Kanzas to forget the past and in the next exultingly defy them to read th immaculate platform adopted at their County Convention, the sea-serpentine length of which is only surpassed by Gov. Walker's long-winded proclamation. When we turn to that wondrous string of resolutios, allmost the first one that meets the eye commences as follows: Reseleced, That we cordially approve of the "Kanzas-Nebraska Act."
The Kanzas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, the (?) That for thirty years had protected our soil form slavery; the Kanzas-Nebraska Act was passed for the express purpose of allowing slavery to be brought upon our soil; it gave slaveholders a foot hold here, and that led to all that strife and bloodshed that has since darkened our career! Whilst every person love the principle of selfgovernment as it has ever been recognized in this country, every body must know full well that but for the pledges broken and license given by the Kanzas-Nebraska Act, slavery, the bone of contention, the moving cause in the "reign of terror" would never have come here, and that fearful Past would not have been recorded.
They endorse that which led to the rapine and murder in Kanzas, and then they pray of us not to think of the legitimate fruits of their pet enactment. Away with such professions.
Alson C. Davis.
This gentleman is a candidate for the Council on Pro-Slavery ticket. He declares that he is a Free-state Democrat, and begs and beseeches persons of Democratic and old Whig proclivities to vote for him. This is not the funniest thing he does in campaigning the county. Whenever an opportunity occurs where he can do so publicly, he hurls a challenge at some person to meet him on the stump to "discuss principles," but after some inquiry, so far as we can learn, he has never yet met any person who has taken up the glove. It is certain that after W.Y. ROBERTS accepted and name a time and place, Mr. Davis backed down as gracefully as possible.
On last Tuesday evening, at the meeting in Quindaro, we were honored by this champion of Law and Order Democracy with a challenge, which was then and there as publicly accepted as it was given, not that we felt confident in our Journal for its (?) in throwing off ter upon record, we, the next morning early sent him the following note:
QUINDARO, K.T. Sept. 30, 1857.
A.C. Davis, Esq,
Dear Sir,
I hereby accept the challenge you gave me last evening, to discuss the political questions now in issue before the people of Kanzas, to be passed upon at the election on next Monday, and name the place, Quindaro-time, tomorrow, (Thursday,) evening, at 7 o'clock, for any other time that may suit your convenience, and S.C. (?) To arrange the terms of debate in my behalf. Respectifully, J.M. WALDEN.
He failed to meet me, and as we cannot even suppose he feared the result, and as it is not the first time he has shirked a similar meeting, we must conclude that it is a funny way he has of electioneering. He thinks that giving challenges in a loud voice evidence a confidence in his cause and a (?) of ability to defend it, which he may presume will inspire others with like convictions! He is surely a very modest individual!
The Sugar-Coated Pill
Strattgoin is often more successful in war than valor. The Slave-state men of Kanzas and their auxiliaries form Missouri have, during the past two years, cried the (?) of foresting slavery into this territory by, the bowle-knife and revolver, but, (?) blood and rapine recorded that movements, there has been a constantly (?) strength on the side of Freedom. When this strength has towered up to an altitude that makes it conspicuous from every pont in the country, and justifies a gerneral hope, and warrants an almost universal conviction that Kazas will be free, Davy Atchison, the leading spirit in the Border Ruffian warfare writes encouragingly to his friends in the South, that here is still a chance to accomplish that for which the Propagandists have been and are hungering and thirsting-that Kanzas may yet be saved to the South. How can this be so?
Valor, Southern valor, has accured the Territory, murdering Free-state men, plundering their stores, burning their home, destroying whatever could not be carried away, and failed, signally failed, to achieve the object of its merciless mission, therefore, when the ranks of Freemen have been doubled and trebled by an unprecedented emingration, valor would most certainly prove incompetent for the task of enslaving Kanzas. At this juncture, Davy Atchison and his emissaries, the unscrupulous minions of slavery, intent upon circumventing the will of the majority of our people, turn their eyes hopefully to a plausable treachery. Into the pit digged for them the people must fall, or the budding ascondancy of slavery must wither. A demoniacal effort to force the people into the pit has failed, and now these vile aud plotting leaders have resorted to the stratagem of covering over its yawning mouth with all the beautiful and good boughs that can be culled from the past of Democracy.
It is a faith in the charmed power of the word Democracy that prompted the encouraging letter form Atchinson. And that his faith may be well-founded there are grounds to fear, for already do we see professed Free-state Democrats unconsciously perhaps, making themselves tools for these infernal workmen-behold them standing shoulder to shoulder with persons who not a year a go gloried in being known as "Border-Ruffian," hear them beseeching all who love Democracy to go with them: hear them pleading the cause of those whose deeds should have consigned them to infamy. We feel that this scheme which sprung from the fruitful brain of Atchison& Co is more to be dredged than Border Ruffian forays, because, with the insiduousness of Satan, it may entwine itself about the hearts of good, liberty-loving men, and make them unintentional particeps criminis in a gross wrong. We must say beware of that which in Kanzas comes to you under the garb of Democracy. True Democracy is noble, but here the name is but the coating of an Atchinson plot, which you indignantly spurn form you now that its blackness and treachery is palpable and evident.
Vote the Whole Ticket
In our observations, though necessarily limited they be, we have noticed that Nominating Conventions generally fail to give entire satisfaction. We doubt not that in many instances of grounds of complaint might be avoided, yet perhaps in quite as many it would be utterly impossible where office-seekers each with a circle of friends, are as plenty as they are in this country. When the people of a locality have set their mind upon a person as the proper one to whom to delegate their political power, it is natural they should feel chargrined if a Convention fail to maifest a due deference for their wishes; it is natural that on the spur of the moment they should feel like exhibiting their indignation by bolting the nominations mad e for them. Such is the ready and spontaneous outburst of theat independence which is a noble element in the character of freemen-that which always intuitively arrays itself against any and every act like despotism. We have seen exhibitions of this independence given as though it were instinctively, and have been thrilled by the sight. We expect to see them again circumstances warrant it, and shall gather fresh assurances from each occasion that Americans are still impelled by those intuitions which are strong guarantees that the future of our country will be as free off intent upon circumventing the will of the
But these same circumstances have revealed to us a still nobler trait in the character of independent freemen-one which shines forth in greater lustre, and is invested with a higher promise. We have seen the people of a locality at (?) Dissatisfied and chargrined by the no minatious of a convention after giving went to the indignation incident to the disappointment, reflect upon the dusty incumbent upon them, and then quietly set aside, for the time being, their personal preferences and cheerfully join in the support of the men brought forward as representatives of tier chosen policy. Was this course inconsistent with a previous half-formed determination to bolt the ticket? By no means! The former was suggested by correct impulses, the latter was prompted by high principle, neither is to be (?), both are to be admired, but the latter is the more praiseworthy of the (?).
In bringing forward men for office, there should be a wise and close discrimination exercised, but when the candidates are once in the field and the choice lies between men and principles, under ordinary of (?) we (?) all persons actuated by patriotic motive, choosing the latter. It si difficult to conceive how good citizens could make any other devision, and not truly independent freeman could. We can imagine how a man may hold his own personal preference to be of more moment than the triumph of principles to which he is favorable, but it is only by regarding nim as being extremely selfish and persistingly inconsiderate. We can feel how it is that a man may, when great principles are at stake, yield up his own preferences, rise above his dislikes, yes, vote for his personal enemies if need be, but it is only by regarding him as being self-sacrificing, farseeing and patriotic. The difference between the two men is world-wide; the feeling of the one is "me and mine or nothing at all," that of the other, "not my wish but my country's weal;" the one only thinks of what might have been done; the other of what may be accomplished; the one is bewildered with the present, the other with a clear vision beholds the results of the future.
A man to be truly patriotic must be independent, and to be truly independent he must at times be self-sacrificing, must have a sufficient strength of purpose, force of character, to set aside his private wishes when they stand between him and the public good. In the present crisis of Kanzas, men may be called upon to do this. We cannot for a moment think that any one will hesitate, and we know that no true Free-state man will-especially no one in Quindaro or Leavenworth County, for all will feel that upon his vote may depend the result of the election; that on the result of the election in our county may depend the result of the election; that on the character of the Legislature, and that most certainly upon the character of the Legislature does depend to a great degree the peace and prosperity of Kanzas. If then any one has been dissatisfied with any nomination, let him exhibit that independence of character which towers above the promptings of self, by going to the polls and voting the entire, unscratched Free-state ticket for the sake of the great principles of Freedom involved in this election!
Pro-slavery Meeting in Quindaro.
Our duty as the chronicler of events, strange or otherwise, requires us to make known to our readers that there actually was a Pro-slavery meeting held in Quindaro on last Tuesday evening! Messrs. A. C. Davis, Judge Halderman and Judge Purkins were announced to speak and a goodly number of our citizens turned out to hear them. The meeting was called at seven o'clock, but its opening was posponed till an hour later by fortuitous circumstances it was said, but we rather think purposely to cut off any Free-state speakers whom the citizens might wish to hear from in reply to the Pro-slavery candidates.
At length, A.C. Davis, the professed Free-state Democratic candidate for Council on the Pro-slavery ticket appeared. He was long and loud in a reiteration of stereotyped panegyrics upon the principles of the Democratic party, avowed that he was in favor of making Kanzas a Free-state and labored in declamation to show that the slavery question was not before the people in this campaign.
Judge Halderman, the distinguished individual of Leavenworth who made the welcoming speech to the Georgia volunteers who cam to Kanzas to kill Free-state men and "fight, bleed, and die" for the "peculiar institution" of the South, was the next to speak.
He declared that he was born and bred a Democrat, ever had been, was now, and always expected to be a Democrat, and then, perhaps thinking that his colleague had not said enough about he immaculate party, he rung the changes on Democracy with, we suppose, a startling vehemence The only thing he said during his speech pertinent to the issue of the campaign, was, that he was in favor of making Kanzas a slave state.
Judge Purkins was the next to exhibit himself. He thought the office he was seeking was not a political one, but nevertheless would state his position. He was born in Virginia, (perhaps one of the F.F. V.) was favorably impressed with her institutions, was Pro-slavery in principle. He said that his opponant of the private wishes when they stand between of him (Purkins), and then he "pitched into" Moore most unmercifully, and if he be half so mean as the Judge made out, the fact of his having recommended him (Purkins) is sufficient reason why all good men should vote against him (Purkins).
H. B. Denman another of the quasi Free-state Democrats on the Pro-slavery ticket next had a hearing in a huge endeavor but complete failure to make a speech.
These were all the candidates present. To them our (?) Given meet respectful attention (?) even disturbing them by a sound of applause. They now thought ti high time to hear form the other side and called loudly for Gov. Roaix(?). But the matter was cut and dried to have the whole evening (?) by Pro-slavery speakers so as to cut off Free-state men. Not withstanding the expressed wish of the meeting, a Mr. Garfible of Leavenworth, was (???) amid the calls for Gov. Robinson. Mr. G. said he thought that when speakers were announced (his name was not on the (???) it was courteous in meeting to hear (???) the (?) Or reitire.
The people (???) upon his suggestion and marched off en masses to a convenient place near by; leaving him a squad of loss than a dozen to address, and organized a meeting of which the (???) is a brief report:
FREE-STATE MEETING.
The meeting was organized by choosing D.D. Henry, Chairman, and John T. Gibson, Secretary.
A committee consisting of (???) Strong, Edmonde and Morton was appointed to wait upon Gov. Robinson and ask him to address the meeting.
J.M. Walden was called to the stand and spoke until the committee returned.
Gov. R. acquiesced in this request of the meeting. He was received with three hearty cheers. He made an able speech, in which he held up in no favorable light the sophistry which had burdened the Pro-slavery speeches; expose the game by which they are laboring to pull the wool over voters' eyes; demonstrated by their own assertions that the slavery question is the great issue now before the people; showed the necessity of the Free-state party presenting a united front, and urged them to cast their influence and votes with the party and for the men that now as in the past were alone in favor in Freedom.
A.J. Rowell, Esq., at the earnest solicitation of the meeting took stand. He said that he was a Democrat, but never had endorsed any of the measures of that party that had for their object the strengthening of the slave power in our country. He then reviewed the positions assumed by the Pro-slavery candidates and conclusively demonstrated that it was dangerous to invest their advocates with political power.
Three rousing cheers were then give for the whole Free-state ticket, after which the meeting adjourned.
D.D. Henery, Chairman.
John.T. Gibson, Sec.
Quindaro Saw Mill
This mill, of which A.J. Rowell is the proprietor, is now fitted up with one Mulay and two Circular Saws, which together are capable of cutting from fifteen to twenty thousand feet of lumber daily. One of the circular saws is of an entire new construction, being recently invented bye Mr. A.C. Martin, of Cincinnati, and patented by Marten & ASUC(?), East Front street, Cincinnati. It is capable of cutting 800 feet of oak lumber per hour, with one hand only to assist the sawyer. It has a lateral governable motion by which the saw is prevented from touching the log whilst 'giggling' back; also a government of the mandred by which the saw may be made to run just as the sawyer desires to prevent irregular thickness in the lumber which would otherwise often occur from deflections of the saw whilst cutting. It far excels anything of the kind we have ever witnessed, both in the rapidity of its execution, and the excellence of the lumber cut by it, and will curt the same amount with less motive power than any mill we are familiar with, which, together with the smaller amount of labor it requires, makes it far more economical than other mills now in use.
Mr. Roswell having seen the model of the saw at Cincinnati was so highly pleased with its appearance that he at once ordered this one for the Quindaro saw mill. He prevailed upon the Inventor, Mr. Martin, to come out and put it in operation. Mr. M. Has been in Quindaro some time for this purpose and to it has devoted his attention which warrants us in claiming for this mill a perfection which no other of any kind in Kanzas possesses. Mr. Roswel informs us that he would not part with it for double its cost if another could not be obtained. Several of our townsmen witnessed its operation yesterday and pronounced it the most complete they have ever seen at any place. Mr. Sassions, the Engineer, a practical Machinist with a long experience in the building of mills, whom Mr. Roswell employed to set up this mill to have it ready for operation when the inventor should arrive, thinks it by far the best model for a mill of any he has sever seen in the country.
Mr. Roswell has purchased the right for Wyandott Reserve which makes it possible for any person wishing to (???)(type over) men that now as in the past were alone (???) (???) (???)
(???) (???) so without delay. We advise all who are interested in saw mills to call at once and see and examine for themselves this great improvement in the manufactory of lumber. If they should desire one of the same kind they will be promptly supplied by leaving an order with Mr. Rowell, or hsi Engineer Mr. Sassions, or his Superintendent Mr. Davis. As Kanzas needs the very best of saw mils, we hope soon to see many of this improved kind. Mr. Martin's Patent, introduced, said we are glad to record that a citizen of Quindaro has brought the first one into the territory as it shows a spirit of enterprise of which any person or place may be proud and which is worthy of emulation.

> The Detroit Free Press, in attempting to glorify Mr. Buchanan's reply to Professor Silliman and others, thus exposes itself:
"The clergy wanted the troops to withdraw so that evidently Jim Lane and his party might have matters their own way."
What is this (??) a clear though unwitting confession that the writer well know "Jim Lane and his party" to be the people of Kanzas, of at least a groat majority of them? Majorities in this country don't' ask the assemblage of regiments of United States troops to protect them against their minority neighbors.-Tribuns
QUINDARO.
The editor of the Kanzas News, published at Emporia, recently visited our place, and speaks of it as follows in his journal.
"Quindaro is one of the wonders of Kanzas. We well remember our first visit to its several months since. It was then a town of a half dozen log cabins and shanties. The shell of a large hotel was just created, and armies of laborers were busily engaged in cutting roads, leveling the hills, grading the streets, &c. A friend once said to us, rather irreverently, we thought, "that nothing was impossible to God or a Yankee. " We thought when we saw the place chosen for the site of a great commercial city, that the projectors were acting on the above remark, for none but a Yankee would ever have thought of building a town on the tops of such hills and bluffs. But they have done it, and to-day there are over one-hundred buildings in Quindaro, and about six hundred inhabitants on the town site. The town is Free-State, with back bone-197 votes were cast here for the People's Constitution at the late election. There are twenty handsome stone buildings finished and in process of erection. It has a large and handsomely fitted Hotel, a well furnished Painting Office, the largest saw mill we have seen in Kanzas, and eight stores of different kinds. Pretty well, we think, for a town not eight months old. So much for Yankee energy and enterprises."
Sumner.-Its Growth and Prospects
The town of Sumner, situated about sixty miles above this point, offers very strong inducements to business men, capitalists and mechanics. Its position at the great western bend of the Missouri River makes it naturally and easily accessable to nearly every place of not in northern Kanzas, and it seems destined to be the emporium of the upper country, particularly of all that region lying north of the second standard parallel including Manhattan. Fort Riley and Fairport. For the accommodation of all this section a fine road is now being opened which is destined to receive a large local and through travel from the Fort Riley county which is thus brought in direct connection with Sumner the nearest river point, and as before stated, the most accessable. To accomodate shippers and the immense debarkation that must be mad at Sumner large and commodious warehouse are being built.
It should be remembered that the immense and constantly increasing overland Sante Fe trade. California overland outfitting trade, military supply trade for Forts among the wild tribes in the Rocky Mountains and Plains, outfitting Oregon, Washington, Utah, Gadsden-purchase, and New Mexico trade; a great part of this trade upon which the towns of Independence, Lexington, Liberty, Westport, Weston, and Kanzas City, Mo., have grown wealthy, must and will be transfered to a more permanent and natural position at some point in the great western bend in the Missouri River, and that this point is Sumner would seem evident from the facts stated above.
The growth of Sumner is almost without parallel in the history of the West. The town is not four months old and contains some fifty houses, four hundred inhabitants, a good school, five stores, two brick yards, tow steam mills, and a printing office from which issues the Sumner Gazette, a paper having a wide Eastern circulation, conducted by the Cone Brothers. All shares in the town sold by the Company, are conditioned to improvement within ten months form date of purchase, and there being nearly two hundred sold, thus making bona fide contracts for the erection of that number of buildings within ten months in addition to what are already erected upon the town site.
The Sumner Company have now in active process of construction a fine large brick hotel four stories high, to be finished after the most approved eastern style of first class hotels. This hotel is delightfully situated upon an eminence overlooking the Missouri River for fifteen miles, and being near to one of the most beautiful lakes in the south-west, will be a pleasant and agreeable resort for travelers in the far West.

CENTRAL CITY, Nemaha Co.}
Kanzas, Sept. 10, 1857.}
DEAR CHINDOWAN: Thinking that a description of this, the garden apol of Kanzas, might not be uninteresting to your numerous readers. I have taken the liberty to drop you a few lines. The Nemaha river is called by all who have seen it, the most beautiful stream in Kanzas or Nebraska. Being fed by springs the water is cold and clear, and does not stand in stagnant pools, filling the atmosphere with (???), like many of the stream of our territory.
The valleys on both sides of the river are wide, and of the riches quality, the soil in many places being eight and ten feet deep. The timber too, is of the best quality, walnut, oak, etc. The most extensive coal beds in the territory have been found on this stream, a considerable quantity of which is taken to St. Joe, a distance of seventy-five or one hundred miles to market. Fine line and sand stone, the finest for building purposes is abundant. Central City is one of the more flourishing towns on the Nemaha; it is six miles from the Nebraska lin, on a beautiful (???) Prairie, and most elligably situated for business.
It has an abundant supply of timber of the best quality. An inexhaustible supply of beautiful blue lime stones, on the town site and several extensive coal beds in the immediate neighborhood.
Central City is forty-two miles west of Iowa Point, on the great western line of travel to the Pacific coast, and is as good a location for business men as any point in Kanzas. Lumber can be obtained at the mills at the most reasonable rates. There are several other flourishing towns on the Nemaha, all offering the best inducements to the enterprising business mean. X.
Another Splendid Republican Victory
SEND THE GLAD SHOUT OF VICTORY ABROAD!-The people of Maine have again proclaimed their calm and deliberate conviction of the wrong and iniquity of that "Border Ruffian" policy which would elevate the Slave power in this country into the supreme control of all the departments of the Government. The campaign has been one singularly free from excitement-and therefore in the highest degree favorable for an unprejudiced expression of opinion; and the result is, that Maine stands as firmly for "free soil, free speech, and free men" in September 1857, as she did in September, 1856. It was therefore no mere excitement of a presidential election that induced the people of Maine to roll a majority of more than SEVENTEEN THOUSAND for HANIBAL HAMLIN, for after the sober second though they have elected LOT M. MORRILL, by a majority nearly as large. The present strength of Hannibal Hamlin or of Lot M. Morrill, has had little to do in either case with the result. They were voted for as the Representatives of great principle which is dear above all other political matters to the people of Maine. It is hon(??) enough to the gallant and distinguished men under whose lead these two transcendent victories have been won to say that they are worthy and honorable representatives of the great cause of which they have been made the standard bearers.-Portland Adv.
MAINE, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Iowa, and Minnesota, have all held elections since the presidential contest. Every one of them has sustained its position as a Republican state by decided majorities.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1857-8.
THE TRIBUNE was first issued as a Daily on the 10th fo April, 1841. Its weekly edition was commenced in September of the same year; its Semi. Weekly in May, 1845. It was th first daily in America to issue a double or eight-page sheet at a low price, and it (?) Kept at least even with the (???)of its (???) in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprises, which the great extension of Railroad, and the establishment of the Telegraph system have crowded into these last sixteen eventful years.- No larger journal is afforded at so low a price in any quarter of the world; non in America, not matter at what price issued, pays all equal amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual labor. It employs correspondents regularly in the leading capitals of Europe, and at the most important points on this continent, with a liberal staff of writers and reporters at home, regarding full, early and accurate Information as the first object of a Newspaper, and the timely and thorough elucidation thereof as the chief and of its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune has been and will be conducted, extending and perfection its correspondence so fast as the increase of its patronage will justify the expense. Should the current attempt to connect the Old with the New World by the magnetic wire prove successful, we shall very soon, at the heavy cost to ourselves, and, we trust a corresponding advantage to our readers, publish each morning a synopsis of the preceding day's occurrences throughout Europe, Northern Africa and Western Africa, with regular reports of the markets, the monetary aspects and harvest prospects of hither Europe.- With a good atlas beside him and his daily paper on his fireside table, the American farmer or artizan within a day's ride of the city may then study each evening the doings of the civilized world throughout the day preceding; and it seems hardly possible that any who can read, but especially one who has children to educate, will longer deny himself and pleasure and profit of the daily journal. The same is true measureably of those who live further inland; though, where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or even a Weekly paper, may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Political Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material Progress, and whatever may affect the intellectual, Moral, Social and Physical well-being of mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted.- Its leading idea is the honoring of honest, useful Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the consequent elevation of the Laboring Class in knowledge, virtue and general esteem. It is necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its aspects, to l atemperance in whatever form or degree with its accessories, to War save in the defence of Country and Liberty against actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring to see Production extended and encouraged, while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are curtailed it favor the policy of sustaining and diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating Tariff- a policy which tends to increase the price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing that of Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance (?) Which their respective products are exchanged and, or course, reducing the cost of their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all its phases, and every form and device at National covetousness, with unqualified abhorrence as the (?) Of Republics, and in their triumph the grave of Equal Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo and win the attention of our countrymen from projects of agrangements abroad to enterprises of development and beneficence at home, foremost among which we rank a Railroad through the heart of our Territory to connect the waters of the Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this life are not yet fairly distributed, and that no one ready to work should ever furnish in unwilling idleness, it lends an open car to every suggestion of Social improvement which does not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war upon the natural right of every one to whatsoever be has fairly produced or honestly acquired, whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos and night of barbarism and universal squalor.- With profound consciousness that idlers, drunkurds, (???) and (???) can never be other (in the main) than need and wretched, it bears aloft the great truth that Prevention is better than Punishment-that the child trained up in the way he should go, will rarely in after years desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and Crune-that a true Education-Religious, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectual -is the most effective temporal antidote to the errors and woes of our race. Recognizing in the most degraded specimen of Humanity a divine spark which should be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly (???) out, we have charity for all forms of evil but those which seek personal advantage through the debasement of our fellowbeings. The champion of no class or taste, the devote of no sect, we would fain be the interpreter to each other of men's better impulses and aspirations, the (???) of general concord, between Lator and Capital, and among those whom circumstances or misapprehensions have thrown into unnatural antagonism. A contemporary once observed that he never knew a hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did not hate the Tribune, nor a generous, large-scaled, kindly one, willing to live and let live, who did not like it. We ask no higher praise, no (???) attestation.
The circulation of the Tribune is at this time as follows; -Daily, 32,000 copies; Weekly, 170,800 copies; Semi-Weekly, 10,000 copies, California and Europian, 6,000 copies; Total, 230,800 copies. That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly we believe to be exceeded by no other newspaper published in the world; that of the Party falls behind that of some of our (???). Had our hostility to Human Slavery and Liquor Traffic been more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would now be some thousands heavier, had our advertising far more (???); but of our patronage generally we have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to diminish our rural circulation through the influence of the Postmaters, some of whom embark in it eagerly, others under political constraint; while a large number, we are happy, for the sake of Human Nature, to state, refuse to be dragooned into it at all. Still, we have been made to feed the heavy hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands of subscribers in consequence. Pretexts to which no individual in his private capacity would have stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage of our papers within reach of their subscribers and rightful owners, and their retention in the Post-Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters have been schooled by rival journals-severed of them living on their self-proclaimed ability to serve as an antidote to (?) (?) Tribune-as to their political duty to (???) At our expense the discrimination of gazettes of adverse politics. W shall outlive this warfare, but we do not affect indifference to it. In the open held of discussion, we fear nothing; but in the tens of thousands of rural neighborhoods where the Postmaster can induce many of his quiet neighbors to take the journal be recommence, we have already lost some patrons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions for this year expire. We appeal, therefore, to the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor And Fee Soil throughout the land to take care that this official warfare on our circulation be not prosecuted without counteraction. We employ no traveling agents, for we will not consent to have the public harassed with the solicitations of strangers in our behalf. We strike the name of each subscriber to our Weekly or Semi-Weekly form our books so (?) as his term has expired, for we will not baunt our patrons with dune for arrears which they may say they never intended to (?), for papers which perhaps they never read; we rely for the renewed of our club subscriptions solely on the volunteered efforts of those who, liking our paper, believe its influence salutary and worthy to be extended; and thus for our reliance has been justified, as we trust it may continue to be.

FOR 1857.
A NEW VOLUME.
In announcing a new year of the Eclectic Managing, it needs hardly to be said that its (??) and its general course are to remain unchanged. Its position in the field of letters has because so well drafted, and it supplies a want in the periodical literature of the country so (??) and wide-spread, that no essential deviation, from its chosen course is other desirable or wise.
For thirteen years the Eclectic has found favor with the public, and high commendation from the press, for the sterling worth and permanent value of its pages. Its design and purpose is to present to its reader the choicest treasures of thought, and the ablest productions of European writers, as they appear in the Reviews and Periodicals of Great Britain and the Continent.
These sources furnish many of the richest fruits of the literacy activity of the age-eloquent forms of thought, taste, and expression. These will adorn the pages of the Eclectic. This plan of selecting the choicest articles form the noble family of European Periodicals, furnishes an amount of literacy reading which could not be obtained in the original form, except at an exorbitant cost; and the excellence and attractiveness of which no one magazine could hope to equal it is literacy gold without dross-mental nutriment for youth or age, without moral poison.
Its combined excellences and permanent value give it a just claim to a place in every well selected public and private library. It is the best Magazine published.
A very large portion of the contents of the Eclectic is derived from Periodicals not reprinted in this-country. Four English Quarterlies only, out of twelve, and only tow Monthlies out of twenty-five are reprinted in the United States. The Eclectic is enriched from all these sources.
The twelve costly and beautiful embellishments, portraits of eminent persons, or other engravings, by any just estimate, add much to its value. In this view, the cost of the letter-press is reduced to about one dollar a volume, of nearly six hundred pages; or nearly eighteen hundred pages in the three volumes. So much choice literature and art is cheap at so small a price.
TERMS:
The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the first of every month. Each number has 144 large octave pages on fine paper, neatly stitched in green covers. Twelve numbers, three vols., with titles an indexes. Twelve embellishments, or more and nearly 1800 pages in a year. Price, $5.00 in advance, or $6.00 at the end of the year.
The Eclectic will be promptly sent by mail to any address as ordered. The postage is only three cents a number, prepaid, at the office of delivery. Any post-master is authorized by law to order the work, and remit the subscription free of charge, to the subscriber. Address.

A First Class Family Newspaper.
HARPER'S WEEKLY
A JOURNAL OF CIVILIZATION.
Neither labor nor expense will be spared to make it the best FAMILY NEWSPAPER in the world-one whose cheerful and genial character will render it a welcome visitor to every household, while its constant devotion to the principles of right and justice shall win the approbation of the wise and the good. Its object will be to set forth sound views on political, social, and moral questions; to diffuse useful information, and to cultivate the graces and amenities of life.
HARPER'S WEEKLY will contain a full and impartial summary of the political, social, religious, commercial, and literacy news of the day. It will chronicle the leading movements of the age, record the inventions of genius, the discoveries of science, and the creations of art. It will, the word, aim to present an accurate and complete picture of the age in which we live.
It will also give a due share of attention to the taste, the imagination, and the feelings. Its regular contents will embrace tales, incidents of travel and adventure, sketches of character and social life, and essays upon art and morals.
The publishers have made arrangements with the best American writers who will contribute to the various departments of the paper. The large space at their disposal will enable the Conductors to avoid themselves of ample selections from the best and most healthful selections of the old world. The first number will contain the commencement of Mr. Thackerry's New Serial Tale the publication of which, form early sheets purchased of the author, will be continued from week to week, until its conclusion. In addition to this they will keep a vigilant eye upon the issues of the English, French, and German Periodical press, the best productions of which will be transferred to the paper under their charge.
Harper's Weekly, is not intended, in any way, to supersede or take the place of Harper's New Monthly Magazine. Each periodical will confine itself to its own proper sphere; and no portion of the contents of the one will appear in the other.
Harper's Weekly will contain sixteen pages of the size of the London Illustrated news, such number comprising as much matter as an ordinary (???) volume. It will be printed in a form and upon suitable paper for binding; and as the page will be electrotyped, the back numbers can always be supplied, so that subscribers can be able at any time to complete their files. At the close of each volume, neat and appropriate covers will be prepared for the convenience of those who wish to bind the paper.
TERMS.
Harper's Weekly will appear every Saturday morning, and will be sold at five cents a copy. It will be mailed to subscribers at the following rates, payment being favorably required in advance:
