Kansas weekly herald., 1854-11-17

| Representative of the United States at the
Court of Denmark, where he attained much
reputation by the ability and fidelity with
which he discharged his duties. He has
settled IN the Territory with the intention
Of making it his future permanent resi-
denee, and his family are preparing to fol-
low him.
His general intelligence-his sound and
reliable prudence and good sense-his clear
and comprehensive intellect--his legal
knowledge-his general and favorable ac-
quaintance with the members of Congress
and the public men attached to the Nation
al Administration, give us the surest guar
ranty that he will make most useful, eff
fieient, and valuable Delegate, In whose
hands the important interests of the Terri
tory will be well taken care of, and to whom
we can confidently look for procuring the
appropriations for Military Roads and
Bridges, Public Buildings, Geological Sur
vey, the modification of Indian Treaties,
and for adjusting the many Post Routes
and Post Offices throughout the Territory.
Some persons in the Territory, we re-
gret to say, are making an effort to intro
duce into this election the question of free
and slave labor, and to array the advocates
of each against each other, and In favor of
different candidates. We cannot see the
necessity or propriety of agitating this ques-
ton at this time. A Delegate in Congress
will have no duties to perform connected
with it in any way, and should be elected
only with an eye to his value, efficiency,
and influence In procuring the legislation
which we so much need to advance the
prosperity and improvement of the Terrific
ry. The man who can best do this should
be elected without reference to his views on
other questions. Mr.. F. does not run as
candidate upon this issue, and we do not
place him before the people on that ground.
The weakness of the Territory requires
that all citizens upon both sides of that ques-
ton should stand side by side, and work in
harmony, concert and good feeling, to ad-
vance the progress of our Territory, with
the greatest possible rapidly. 1t will be
time enough to make issue upon the ques-
ton of slavery, when it shall come up for
decision; and it would infict deep inju-
ry upon our interests 10 elect a Delegate to
Congress upon this issue, no matter which
party should succeed, as it would immedi-
ately array against him the members or
Congress who should differ in opinion from
the successful party-whereas if our Dele
gate is elected without raising the question,
we shall not excite in Congress the oppo-
sition of the other party, and it will be COM
paratively easy to obtain what the wants Of
the Territory require.
We may add that the best evidence of
our sincerity is, that We ourselves are divi-
ded in opinion upon the question-some of
us being anti-slavery men and some pro-
slavery men, whilst We are, nevertheless,
united in the support of Mr.. F. We be-
| ieye him to be the man whom the Terrific
ry needs for the ohice-the man who can
best advance its Interests at Washington
and, from all the information we can re-
ceiye, the man who will be strongest before.
the people at the polls, and whom the ma
jority of them desire, and we therefore re-
commend him for your support.
