REMOVAL OF ~HE Iowa CAPiTAL,-ih
Iowa City Reporter intimates that majority
of the people Of the State have been
msrepresented in the passage OF the Dill 'or
the removal Of the capital from that poih''
but speaks in a very philosophic style upon
the subject, as follows:
We feel that the Removal bill Is very
far from detrimentalto our prospects, or 10
those of our country. 1t is worse than 'dle
it is absurd TO talk OF dependence Tor
our strength of sinew aud vgor OF grown
upon such mere incident OF leglshuoh
as our selection as the capital.

The Election.

Abiding to the recent election, the New
York Tribune, after deploring the result
on account of the. pro-slavery triumph,
says: eat
s'If Gov. Reeder, shall postpone this. e
lection Legislature D It'll next june, we
may hope for better result aandlf not
there is scarcely a chance. We believe
there are at this: hour, four chances that
Kansas will be slave state to one that she
will be free"
Here Is an honestconfession of an abo-
litionist. The only hope that party now
have is that Gov. Reeder will postpone the
election till next June. in order that voters
may be imported by the ssEmigrant Aid
Societies into the Territory. In justice to
the Territory. tothe people and the Gov
erment, Gov Reeder cannot postpone the
election to any such time as the abolitionists
hope fog, Ifhe does he viii bring down
upon his head thedanses Of an outraged peo-
pie.

KANSAS HERALD.-The appearance OF
this paper is neater than is common with
frontier papers, and it is edited with mark
ed ability. It gives US pleasure to bear
this faithful testimony of the energy and
talent of our neighbors of Leavenworth.-
1t is stated by that paper that it is probable
that Legislature will be. elected for the
Territory before Spring. Until that does
take place, the country is In little better
than state OF anarchy. In case of the
death of citizen no one is authorized to
administer on his estate or take charge of
his effects. This is only one of the numer-
Gus Inconvenience which our neighbors
over the river labor under, and which make
them anxious for the convention of a Leg
islature.' These things cannot be overlook
ed by Gov. Reeder.-H. Josepb, Gazette.
That there are Important reasons why
the Election should be had at an early day
and the Legislature convened soon there's
after does not admit of doubt. Believing
that Cow Reeder, sees and knows this, and
that he will order-an election before spring,
we have been disposed to wait that. time.
We do not believe the election should be
postponed beyond that time. but, there are
1 important reasons, in our opinion, why it
should be held before spring, and those
stated by the Gazette, are sufficient ifthere
were no others.

We had the pleasure of few minutes
conversation with Captain Lee, who has
been engaged for the last week or two in
establishing the survey of the boundary line

1t was ascertained to be about two miles be-
low the mouth of the Nimehaw river. A

weeks time; As soon as practicable in the
spring, the survey will be continued south
to the Arkansas line. Mounds will be
thrown upaat intervals of every half mile,
which will enable those desiring claims

claimed, and what may he settled without
