year only 27 But in the northern part
of the Territory, and upon the Usage in
the southern part. they this year rushed
over and polled from 1000 to 1900
votes for Whitfield.

will probabl be about 500 or 2 $780,
Whitfeld'S may be made to count up g.
600. two, thirds of them bogus. A, Law
renee we polled for Reeder SIC, against
az for Whitfield. The pro.slavery party
in the Territory is completely routed"
This is free sol testimony. and we
hold that free soilers in the North arc
bound 10 receive it as true. But it must
not be ina gined that the free State party
in Kansas is an abolition party in the
common acceptaiion Of the term. The
resolutions adopted by the convention
which nominated Gov. Reeder for delegate
in Congress show that it is any thing else.
Gov. Rseder is as thoroughly in antago-
nism with aboli!ionism as any man in the
North.
Now. if neither Oregon, or Washington,
or Minnesota. or Utah. or New Mexico.
or Nebraska. or Kansas. is in peril Of be
coming slave territory, where can slavery
be extended? We put the question 10 any
republican, in Michigan or elsewhere; if
we can get an honest answer it will be.
Slavery can be no where extended beyond
its present limits. And il cannot be.
What, then, repeat the interroga.
tory we put the other day.-is the ne
cessity of the republican party? Con-
fessedly It's prime (os,ensible) object is to
arrest slavery extension: Slavery extern
sion is arrested by hand more powerful
than any human agency. Slavery is fixed
within its present limits by irrepealable
laws of soil and climate. and those limits
will be gradually circumscribed if the
people who have the responsibility of
slavery can but be lett to manage their
own affairs. Kansas will be free, but no
thanks for it to the spirit Of abolitionism.
1t will be free by the action Of the people
of Kansas themselves--by the action OF
the doctrine of popular sovereignty
Kansas will be free in the same manner
that oil other new territory will be free
mot through the agency Of northern or
southern Intervention to control her af-
fairs. but through the agency Of NoN-IN
PREVENTION. What is the necessity OF
the republican party?

ty gold and silver medals. which gives a
medal to every eight exhlbitor-a higher
proportion OF first class medals than will
be received by any other nation. Nc

years vulcanized India-rubber, Fowler
and Preterre for artificial teeth, Rich.
mond's machine for cutting iron for
steam boilers. and Maury's maps and

the medals. Colts guns and pistols met
with great opposition and many compet-
itorS from France and Belgium, and he,
in consequence. gets but third class
medal. Fair BARN, the celebrated engi-
neer. paid a marked compliment, before
