their slaves passed from Platte county in

was formed the organization in that county,
Under whose auspices the outragcs in Kan

duty of the members to hunt ont all Free

to trial before the tribunal of the organiza-

One man was tried in Missouri for hav-

seeing the Territory become a Free State
and ordered TO leave within thirty days or
receive thirty lashes. Another, on a charge
preferred by negro (who are not legal tes-

shaved, and was ordered to leave or receive
one hundred lashes. "Now, >" said the speak

Titles to Land in Kansas and Nebraska

The question is frequently asked how IL
Ties can be acquired TO the Government
lands in Kansas and Nebraska Territories.
and whether military bounty land warrants
can be located in these Territories. We
have ascertaned that, except the lands re-
served fer the Indians under treaty stipula-
tions, or to be sold for their benefit, or lands
reserved for military reservations or other
public uses, the whole country to which the
Indian title has been extingui>hed is subject
TO settlement even prior to survey, and that
preemptlons will be allowed for claims pred
icated on such settlements. This is an i'm
portant provision, as in the old land States
and Territories claines are not allowed or
settlements made prior to slirvey. All that
an cmlgrant has 10 do, therefore, is 10 select
his location, make his improvements on any
OF the lands not exempted from settlement
by any ofthe restrictions mentioned above.
and, on the completion and return Of the sur
vCys, file his proofs at the local land office
where his claim will be allowed, and lie can
pay for the land and secure his improve.

as are required by law; or he ma delay
payment until the lands are advertised fol

day appointed for the commencement of The

the claimants preempton; and this is III,
only use that can be made of land warrant.

Sectional Conventions.

The National lntelligencer has the fol-
lowing brief but suggestive article:
A Massachusetts paper, on the advice, it
says, of several influential members Of Il po-
litical organization inimical to Southern feel
ings and interests, proposes preliminary
measures for "Conrcntion of all the Free
States" Our observation has long since
taught us toregard sectional political Conren-
lions as of evil tendency, and we always
look on these who propose them with dis
trust. They are necessarily ant0gonistic 10
the general interest or prevalent sentiment
OF the adverse section; and those who recon
mend them are almost invariably moved bv
personal interest faction, or prejudice
They should always be dlscountenanced by
those who look upon all sections as compos
ing one country, with varied but not con.
ilicting interests, and united in n common
destiny. We have never seen any good
come of sectional political Conventions
whether held at Hartford or Nashville
Mischief in some form or other and to somt
extent always lies at the bottom Of them.

Death Of Judge Longstreth.

1t is always a mourniul duty 10 record the
death of a good man; but still the sadness is
| not unalloyed with pleasure. We grieve
for departed worth, but at the same time 70.
joice 10 know, that humanity has vindicated
The objects of its creation, in presenting an
upright being. In the death Of MoRRIs
LoNcsTRlTH, society has lost one of her best
citizens, his family a c devoted father, and his
friends a companion without guile. His
charities were OF the noblest character, be.
cause they were as unoblrusive as they were
sincere and. free from selfishness. For ma.
n : wears he was an active member of the
Democratic party, aud was honored by II
with the post of Canal Commissioner, which
he filled with the greatest credit 10 himself
aud the people. Subsequently,, he became
its candidate for Governor, but was defeated
by WIN. F. JOHNSON, by about three hun
dred majority, through the ireachery and
fraud of a few harpies, who have long -four
ished BY treason 10 The party 10 which they
were nominally attached. Mr.. LeNesrRErH
was a retired mercban, Of Philadelphia,
who had located himself, with his family, in
Montgomery county, to spend the evening
oil bis days in peace and rural comfort. He
had also been an Associate Judge of this
county. Wherever known, he was respect
ed and esteemed. In him, all the virtues SO
gently mingled, that even his %fiercest politi-
cal enemies could find no room for censure.
Connected with the Roman Catholic faith
from The deepest conviction, he shamed his
assailants on tins ground by a life OF purity,
and a spirit of Christian forgiveness. His
heart was as expansive as the Universe, and
he called all mankind his bre,heren, without
regard TO creed or cline. All bis political
movements were guided by that conscienti.
BUSINESS which does not fear TO look back
upon their own history. For several years
his health las been failing, and he no doubt
passed from this TO a better life, with the full
assurance of a Christian's reward. His hon.
orable life and happy death should furnish
us all with an admonitlon 10 initiate his vir-
tues, that our own death may be as full of
hope of a blissful immortality. Over his
memory, We can well drop a tear. Blessed
are those who die in the Lord.-Pennsylva-
