~We sec several gentlemen suggested
in various parts of the State as the next
Democratic nominee for Auditor General.
Mr.. BANKS we do not see named. What is
meant by this? Mr. Banks has coLfessedly
no superior in his party for capacity and
integrity and his experience is worth
something. Why should his party make
any change? If it is simply that they
may have an excuse for throwing Bra'olcy
overheard also, it is as cowardly as 1t Is
unjust. If Banks is the best man they
have, let them honorably try to retain
him ; if Brawley is not the best for his
station, let them try to get better. Do
not punish one for the sins of the other.

GRAND SPECULATION
FMIGRANTS to Kansas, and Others are
IL hereby notified that public sale of lots
will take place at the above named place on the
first Monday in May next, previous to which a
few lots will be sold privately, to those desir-
Gus Of improving Immediately.
Saint George is located upon the north bank
OF the Kansas river, one hundred miles from
Fort Leayenworth, and Immediately upon the
shortest route from there to Fort Riley. The
great Emigrant Road from the southwest to
California and Oregon crosses the Kansas here,
its intersection with the north.rn, route at or
near Fort Kearney. We claim for st. George a
location, not equalled for beauty, by any other
town in Kansas Territory; the lots are laid out
upon broad, unbroken slope of ridge extend
ing from the bank of the River back for two
miles, Of easy access from any direction.
One of the most beautiful as we'll as useful
features of the location, is the fine grove of tim
ber surrounding it; this grove extends for seyes-
al miles up and down the river and from one to
two miles back; all the adjacent country for
many miles il. every direction is well watered,
perhaps better than any other section of the Ter
rttory, and as consequence, more timber, for
where the water courses are, there is too the tim
Der.
Tbs Big Blue is only about ten miles to the
west: the Vermillion the same distance on the
east, the tributaries of which interlockine. wa
while upon the south side, immediately oppo-
site the town, one Of the finest streams for set
Elements, is to be found, and yet little lower,
another Of almost equal magnitude, and excel
lenee. The location is ebont the centre Of what
will be the STATE Of KsHsx,, aud being also
just below the moutls of the Big Blue, where
navigation will besasrended hnt for a few months
during the year, It IS confidently expected that
the PERMANENT SEAT OF GOVERN
MENT will be located he.e-
A full sized iot twiilba given to,ene Of each
of the following glasses Of mechanics, who will
make application previous TO the day Of public
sale. aud Who will agree TO erect good substan-
tial log or other kinds of building uponthe same

The country around Rock City iswell timber
ed and watered, with good mill priyilegs and !
soil unsurpassed. The advantages for building
up town at this point are numerous, and are al
ready well appreciated. The valleys Of the
Kansas River, Rock Greek, Vermilion, and
their tributaries all Of which are in the vicin-
ity Of Rock City, are susceptible Of sustaining q
dense population, who must trade to this point.
Added to this. are the advantages of trade BY the
navigation OF the Kansas river, only two miles
from the place which is nayigable for several
months in the year, and also the great travel
that must pass through the place to New Mexi-
co, Salt Lake and California.
