KANSAS,

The Dayton CO., Herald of The 10Th inst,
says: We saw Col Sawyer in town yester-
day He had just returned home after an
extensive tour through Nebraska and Kan
sas. Ho gives glowing description of the
country He says the climate is glorious and
that the land generally is as fertile as that OF
any other in the world. He travelled for
weeks. in private conveyance ever the ter
ritorles. The only objection to the country,
he says, is its destituticn Of timber. In Kan
sas foreste are more abundant than in Ne.
braska, but generally the country is con-
tinuous rolling prairie. lie says tie strife
among the inhabitants on the slavery ques-
ton has already commenced. The indians
are generally opposed to the introduction Of
slave negroes.

casiors. "A delicate subject TO allnde to. Is
this ofstump-speaking we should think after
bis experience in that line year or SO ago.

Importance. Ifso, our readers will attribute 1t
to feeling Of profound surprise at tSis bold
indictment Of judicial Tribunal 10 the pub

perfect indifference, and leave him in The
hands of the people.
As respects ourselves, we she'll despatch
that part of bis letter in few words. We
reiterate our statement, to wit that The
leading counselof Mr Cushra, advised him
sr assented TO proposition to refer the elee-
ton back to The people. This Dir. Faulkner
will not deny to be substantially correct. 1t
win be found-and we call upon every reader
of the Republican" especially to examine the
letter--that it contains n, denial Of this
statement. 1t assumes to deny what we did
not say. We did not allege,--for that would
have been absurd--that any Counsel Of Mr..
Cushwa expressed the opinion that there was
any just or legal ground for setting the elcc-
ton ASIDE
Ia common With cur entire people We have
felt much interest in tie pending election
because Of the "wide spread conviction" of
fraud in the last election in ensuring Mr..
Cushwa's success. because as we do not doubt
from the information given us, there was tes
timony to show that Mr.. Cusbwa received at
least fifty illegal votes. and others not even
challenged in the contested election, and such
would have been ascertained to have been
the case,-because Of the great mischief of
allowing few men in caucus to nominate,
and thus appoint all the officers, important
as they are in the county--and, now, that in
tcrest is heightened by eur anxiety to repel
the bold denuuciations in which Mr. Faulkner
has INDUCED under the fire heat of party an

TRADE ON THE PACIFIC.

The New York Herald says, the very con-
siderable reduction contemplated by the Leg
islature Of the Sandwich Islands in the tariff
of duties, will undoubtedly tend to great
increase Of commercial transactions between
our ports On the Pacific aud the dominions Of
King Kamahamaka Ill, and if Congress at
tho present session completes the scheme
which has already passed the Senate, of the
establishment of line of steamships between
San Francisco and China, via the Sandwich
Islands and Japan our trade in that direction
will receive wonderful impulse.

ALE KNOW NOTHING AND POLITICS.

The Richmond Examiner (Dcmocratic) in
an article setting forth the principles of the
Know Nothings. as far as the editor can
gather them from persons supposed to be
members, remarks:
Understanding that it harbors no hostil-
ity to the Democratic party, nor to the South
or her institutions; and believing that. il
monster at all, il is too ugly customer to le
trihed with, we have no disposition to .un a
muck with it rs yet; or to waste our powder
aud shot by blazing away at it in the dark
Judging by its votes polled elsewhere, it
numbers as many Democrats as Wings; and
judging by its liberal bestowal of Office on
Democrats, it has not done the party much
injury as yet We shall, 1T least for the
present. save our ammunition and surplus rhet-
oric, trust to Providence and keep our powder
dry, remembering that discretion is often the
better part Of vslor, and that kind words tend
to turn away wrath"
We trust that this authority is sufficiently
high to dissipate the floating rumor that
Know Nothingism is Whiggery in disguise

J., ga Or preteat at all was found to ex-
81 for the objections to their votes--while as
to the residue, except, perhaps, four or five,
the objections were of the most trivisl char
acter. In fact it was a list gotten up to
make some display, as an Offset to the list of
bad votes furnished by the contestant. We
cannot suppose that any voter, entitled to
vote will allow himself to be deceived, or
deferred by the wiles or threats OF unscrup.
ulous wire-workers.
There are one or two other matters that it
may be wei to notice.
1t is advisable, that every one should vote
in his own election district although the
law may not require it. The commissioners
should be on the lookout, to prevent illegal
votes, from being run, as they were at the
last election, from one precinct to another.
A miserable attempt, we understand, has
been made to influence votes, by falsely rep
rescnting the expenses of the late contest as
very heavy, and falling upon the County
This is utterly untrue--except as respects the
inconsiderable amount of per diem paid to
the Court. All the other expenses were de-
frayed by the parties, and as to the relative
amount Of expenses incurred by Mr.. Cushwa
and NJ. Newcomer, we arc authorized to say
that Dir. Newcomers were at least, equally
heavy with Mr.. Cushwa's, and that Mr.. N.
will pay Mr.. C's if Mr.. c. will pay his.
We repeat the assurance that the princi-
pie contended for in this contest-to discon-
meet the County Offices from the intrigues of
Caucus,-will TRIUMPH. if proper energy
is used in bringing out the vote.
We disclaim now and for the future-all
party feelings or influence, in the interest we
take in the result of elections for County Of
fcers. We have given evidence of that,
heretofore, and desire to be tried by that
standard, in future. Let every man, then,
stand to his post, and we shall rid ourselves
of a system of party management, which
would seriously affect, in the future, the wise
and effective government and management of
the affairs of the county.
