vho Kansas Election,

y great handle is made of the result Of the
Kansas Election by the fusionists, who ap
pear to glory in il rs Ycriicaiion of all their
predictions that Kansas will come in MS a
slave state. They conccdc that illegal votes
were cast by MisSourians imported for the
purpose, and that if Kansas alone were per.
United to govern Kansas, the result would
be entirely different but they adhere to the
false assumption that all the elections there
are to be Illegally conducted, and they can
freely forgive and even encourage the Mis-
suorians in their alleged unlawful proceed
ings, for giving them such a Splcdid club to
flourish over the heads Of the Northern de-
mocracy.
Cnjustiiiablc, however, as may have been
some ofthc means made use of to elect Gen
Whiteiod, the delegate from Kansas land
we are persuaded the matter was grossly
exaggerated it is now well settled that the
result was by no means a decision in favor of
the Introduction of slavery into that terrific.
~. It was simply a triumph af the Nebras
la men over aholitonism, and comparative.
ly few even Of those who voted for Gen. W.
desire slavery to be introduced into that ter
ritory On this point we have now conclu.
Sive proof y gentleman writing TO us from
Washington (and no one knowing him will
question his statcment,) says;
There is Il flschool much circulated in
the West that should be contradctcd |
know Gen. Whto.icld, the delegate from
Kansas, well. | have been intimate with
him for years. He is an excellent man, and
admirably fitted for the post. lie ran
against nobodics, or what was the same
whitc-kil-g'o Owe gentlemen who went to the
territory TO get Office and speculate. The
slavery question had nothing TO do with the
contest among the bona. tide settlers, wheth-
cr from the North or the South. Nobody
there thinks of slavery. They are their own
slaves to their own work, and are opposed to
slavery; but they are also opposed to aboli-
tionism, because they are constantly agitat-
ing a question which nobody wishes to
touch and create bad feeling among men
from different parts ef the country who wish
TO have peace. Con Whiteiield is one Of
these, but no friend or advocate of slavery.
| saw here to-day four acquaintance from
Illinois, now living in Kansas, and they say
that had it not been for the colonization OF
Nortern aboitionists, as stch, among them
slavery would not have been talked about in
Kansas, and that even now ninety mine in a
hundred would vote against lis introduction,
and that the southern pioneers are the most
opposed to it,
We say there IL no question about thu
reliability ofths statement, and we are con
.ilrnt time will bear it out

Free ScLaais Gnr 0llnWa.

\ number Of our citizens met at the Court
House on last Saturday evening to take in.
to consideration the subject of free schools
for the city, and the best plan and means
whereby good schools could be established.
NJ. +. HOLSTER Esq, was called to the
chair. Rev Mr. Whi,tlesey being called
upon, stated the object of the meeting.
No definite subject being before the meet
ing, u general expression Of opinions was
called for, whereupon quite number ex-
pressed their views in regard to the best
plans for establishing and conducting COM
mon schools. There seemed to be Il univcr-
sal desire, considering the sad deficiency of
schools in this city, to take hold Of the mat.
ter in earnest, and do something.
There were two plans spoken of-onc was
to build large house in the centre Of the city,
capable Of accommodating five or six hun
bred pupils, and to be conducted in the man
ner of Un.on Schools. The other was to
establish primary schools in each Ward, and
lcyey tax to build the houses and support
the schools.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr.. I. Hampton and adopted.
Eesolced, That 4 coriIAittcc of one from
each school district be appointed to report
for tho consideration Of the next meeting, a
school law or n general plan for school or
schools, for the city, and for u board Of edu-
cation who shall have general supervision
Of building school houses and managing the
schools therein.
The following individuals were chosen Oh
the committee. In the lst district, Chas.
Kcclcr I'd district, Judge Cotton; ID dis
trict, VIM. Rcddich; ith district, q. W.
jackson; 9TH district, John Hossack; 9Th
district, G. II. Norris; 7th district, A. Grow;
sth district A. y, Smith and in the 9th dis.
trict 5 " Raymond,
The committee met on Tuesday evening
AMI agreed upon the following plan:
That the whole city should consist Of one
district, and then there should be sub.ds.
tricts in each ward; that tax not TO exceed
one per cent, should be levied Immediately
and to continue for three years that one
board Of education should be appointed for
the whole city.
\ one per cent tax would raise about
eight thousand dollars yearly, which in three
years would be s2I,O 900. This fund in con,
nccton with the 5000 school fund is to be
appropriated by the board Of education fox
building the houses in each district, and
mcntaining the schools
We understand the object Of making the
whole city one district to be, to establish il
the centre of the city a high school in con
nection with the primary school, Gn the
Sd ward to be open to all scholars that
have completed the usual studies taught in
the several primary schools
This is the mere outline Of the plan which
the committee intend to offer for the consid
Grafton Of the adjourned meeting which is tC
be this evening.

We find returned for

From the largely increased operations in
La Sale county during the last season, we
have little doubt lint that the nSsrssrn"nt Of
IoJf vii! show our county to be the drat
cattle county in the state, and we have taken
these pains to bring out these facts, to show
that cattle dealers from abroad. instead of Ill
recting their steps 10 Mclean or Morgan
counties will be very likely to find the Oh
jcct Of their quest in quite as great perfection
and abundance in La Sale county as in any
other in the state.

In Smile County Cattle Growers.

Under tho ahead of Beef in the very
able and lucid statement which we find in
the Chicago Tribune of Tuesday, Of the
trade aud commerce Of that city for the last
year, we find reference made to the prin-
cipal grow ers Of our state that does unlnten-
tional injustice. 1t mentions rs very nota-
bic operation the sale by one man Of n lot
amounting 10 $4,000, and names "thc
Strawns Of Morgan, Funk Of Mclean, and
Harris Of Champaign, as the leading growers
of our state who deal at Chicago. Now We
are very crcdiby informed that "thc Strawns
of Morgan" has not sold a head of beef in
Chicago in ten years. But if the Tribune
had said "the Strawns Of La Sale it would
have been nearer the mark. 1t is great
mistake TO suppose that Mr.. Jacob Strawn,
Of Morgan county, is the largest cattle grow
or of that name in the state, or that Morgan
or Mclean COUNTIES are the great cattle
counties Of the state. Mr. Jacob Strawn OF
Morgan county feeds aud sells, we believe
about 300 head year while David Strawn
Of La Sale county, (prescnt member of the
legislature has fed and sold within the last
year about .fre MogsaHd hcad, and instead
of a little sale of $6i 900, he made one sale
to a packer in Chicago amounting to sl33,-
600. His entire sales for the season amount
cd to over 100000 Mr. Eli Strawn, OF
La Sale county, a brother of David, is also
large dealer, and feeds and sells annually,
we believe, between four and five hundred
head. lndcod, it seems to run in the family
for, besides the Strawns, Mr.. &. W. Duna'
van, and J. w. Armstrong Esq, Of la Sale
county, connected with the family, are largl
growers, and have fed and sold during th,
last season some 800 head each. So thai
out of the 90, 900 head stated by the Tri
bunc as having been packed at Chicago dur
ing the last season, at least G,o0o, or moro
than onc.rourth, were driven from La Salll
county.
1t isuuc, that Mr.. Jacob Strawn, Of Nor
gan county, has the finest farm in the state
and raises the largest field of corn. But h,
has been at least Il quarter Of Il century II
the business, and has had every advantag,
Of cheap land and the monopoly Of the trade
The Strawns of La Sale are generation
younger, and are comparatively new be
ginners; but nevertheless the farm Of DaviC
Strawn will rot even now compare CONTEMPT
! IDLY with that Of the Napoleon of Cattle" il
Morgan. 1t embraces at present about i00O
acres under fence and well improved, OF
which last season was one field Of about 1000
acres ofas fine corn as was ever seen on tn
monster farm in Morgan county We hav
no doubt, in twenty-five years more, at tn
/ present rate, the Napoleon" will be target,
ccipscd by his well pupilcd postcrty,
And while La Sale county thus boasts tn
I greatest cattle growers in the state, she ais
claims, with a single exception, to be til
first cattle county in the state. On thi
subject we find the following figures in tn
returns Of the assessment Of 1853, Of tn
number Of cattle in the leading cattle coun
ties:
