GENERoUs.-Our neighbors of the

fishes an abusive article about Leaven-

Mo. Republican, and written by some hired
itinerant scribbler. 1t is published with

towns prosper, as they help to give char

Kansas possesses all the elements of wealth.
There need not exist then any jealousry or
rivalry between ueighors, there is room

er wish to prosper upon the downfall of

Pssbgsc Speaking.

Gen. WnIrrfELD, candidate for Delegate
to Congress from Kansas Territory, adj
dressed quite alarge assemblage ofthe peo-
pie from the stump, in this place on w Wednes-
day last. He was listened to with marked
attention, by the great crowd who had been
brought thither, by the call for Conven-
tion to nominate candidate.
Gen. Whitfield, said in becoming can
didate, he done so upon his own hook. with.
out the urgent solicitation of friends, or the
aid and authority of convention. He was
a candidate, and should remain sountil the
evening of the day of election, indepen-.
dent of a convention or nomination. He
said he was free man, and should submit
only to the will of the majority of the Peo-
pie as expressed at the Ballot box.
:. He declared himself the firm and unwa-
,vering friend of the squatter, and in favor
of extending to every settler on the public
lands a pre-emption. He was in fa-
vor of so modifying tina Delaware treaty,
as to secure redemption to every settler
upon the Delaware lands. He would use
all the influence in his power, to make said
change in the treaty; and he thought his
connection with the Indians, and the In
dian Department, together with the person
al relations existing between himself and
Heads of Department, the President the
Editor of the Washington Union, and ma
ny members of Congress, would enable him
to do as much as any man, to effect this de-
sirable object. He said the Treaty could
and would be changed, that he had always
o PIP osed it, and had told Mr.. Manypenny,
when he was first informed the Delaware
treaty was made, it could never be carried
into effect. He condemned it then, and his
opinions were not now manufactured for
this race. He said he had encouraged set
tiers to 60 upon the Delaware lands, and
believed they never would be disturbed.
Among his other duties, if elected, he
said, he should endavor to have mail routes
established wherever they were needed.
He was rail road man, but, did not be-
heve any thing in that line could be ac-
complished, for Kansas Territory, at this
short session of Congress.
He advocated the principles of the Kan
sas bill, and believed that the people alone
should settle the question of slavery for
themselves. The bill gave them this pow
er, and had taken the question from the
Halls of Congress, and placed it where it
properly belongs.
Gen. w. in conclusion, said he had moth
ing to do with the Convention, knew moth
ing of its origin, believed it did not come
from the settlers, and he should not abide
the action of the convention. He was be-
fore the sovereigns. and it was with them
to do as they pleased with him on the 29th
day of November.
The above is about the substance of the
remarks of Gen. w. as we remember them.
We took no notes of his speech at the time.
His remarks, we believe were generally
well received. It is said, that he will be
a formidable competitor in the race.

It is important that some
idea OF the mineral resources of this terri
tory, should go abroad among the states COM
posing our great confederacy, and know
of no way by which such information can
be SO well disseminated as by calling atten.
ton through your paper to the pre-eminence,
Kansas enjoys in this respect. The great
source of our prospective wealth and the
foundation upon which our future iprosperi-
/ ty is to be built, must consist in the develop
ment of those hidden treasures which lie
beneath the surface of our widespread
plains, or which are scarcely hid In the
slopes of our picturesque hills.
It Is in the vicinity of this place that the
most valuable minerals of Kansas are to be
found. The bluffs which overlook the town
are composed of soft limestone easily
worked, but which hardens on exposure to
the atmosphere. This stone is so soft
that when taken from the quarry, it can
be readily cut with pen knife and is gen.
orally worked by masons with no other tools
than hatchets. 1t is therefore exceedingly
suitable for building purposes, and is the
material out of which Fort Riley is con-
structed- acknowledged on all sides to be
the best built Fort the government possess
es- Within four miles of the town large
beds of slate have been recently discovered
so situated that they can be worked at
moderate expence. Marble has also been
found and in sufficient quantity to justify the
outlay of capital in quarrying it. Twenty
miles above Pawnee en- the Smoky Hill
river, near the mouth..of the Saline, is found
the finest gypsum have ever seen. 1t is
in inexhaustible quantity and can be readi-
ly transported by fat-boats to points below.
A company of public spirited individuals in
intends to engage in the working of these
beds early IN the spring.
1t would have been surprising if nature
In her profusion had neglected to provide
those great sinews of country, coal and
iron.' Ever bounteous in her dealings
with Kansas, she has not neglected her in
this respect. Coal has been found on the
Blue river, eighteen miles east of Pawnee
and doubtless abounds in all the surrounding
hills. From ssthe geological formation of
this section OF the country, there can hard
ly be a possibility that such is not the. case.
The outlay of capital necessary to develop
this internal wealth, would be repaid hun
dred fold within short period.
From the report of Capt. Lowell of the
army, who recently left Fort Riley with a
party of troops for Fort Laramie, there is
situated about forty miles from this town a
mountain composed almost entirely of iron
ore of surprisisg richness, which needs but
the pick and shovel Ia the hands of our
stalwart eountrymento to take it from the hill
where it has remained undisturbed for ages.
Let the attention of the capitalist and miner
be directed to Kansas, and let the men of
our territory cease their petty political
strife, and standing shoulder to shoulder,
push on the column of our advancing pros
perity. BEPPO.
