was most excellent address, and was re-
ceived by our citizens with marks of hearty
appreciation. In the course of his remarks
Gen. Whitfield took occasion to say that
he. was, and had always been, in favor Of
change in the Delaware treaty, and had
labored manfully and zealousIy in the last
Congress to effect its notifications state-
ment hssubstantiated by<eading letters from
several distinguished gentlemen. He said
change of treaty was promised him by.
the President, and would have been given
him had it not been for the Delaware re-
monstrance. Gen. Whitfield remarked he
was sangui2e change of treaty could be
effected, and ifhe was sent back to Congress
he should battle with all his zeal and pow.
er for the interests of the Delaware Squat
tiers. After refuting certain unwarranta-
ble charges which have been made against
him he proceeded to define his PLATFORM
He avowed himself ro-Slavery man,and
said that in his canvass he should introduce
but the one issue, viz-Slavery or ANTI
slavery. No other issue did he recognize
in the Territory. nor upon any other would
he canvass the Territory. In our next pa
per we will give fuller report of his
speech, and will publish certain letters in
refutation of charges which have been
brought against him. To the remarks of
the other speakers we,haye not time to al-

Osss. Cssy Election.

Our first city election for mayor and
nine councilmen took place on Monday
last, and passed off without that intense and
feverish excitement which usually charac-
terises municipal elections. Immediately
after the opening Of the polls the name of
Capt. L. ]. Eastin, who had become a can
didate for the Mayoralty at the urgent So
licitation of large number of our citizens,
was Withdrawn by his friends, leaving
Thos. T. Slocum Esq, the only candidate
for the office. Owing to this there was not
sufficient opposition OF feeling in the cleo
ton to call forthsthe full vote of the city,
We know of number Of persons who did
not vote, and from reliable information we
can safely say that the vote polled In this
election does not indicate the full strength
of our voting population by SO votes. The
actual legal voters of this city do not num-
Der less than $50.
The following shows the result Of the
election, and the names of the emulous
"Richmonds" with their respective votes

Much 70 our assonishment We find pub
Elished' in many Of de leading Eastern pa
pers4the New York Herald arneng the
numbers paragraph purporting to have
been taken from this paper stating that q
project has been started.in shis Territory to
purchase the whole Of Missouri known as
the Platte Purchase, and annex it to Kan
isas We have never made such a state
ment, nor have We ever published single
line relative to the Platte Purchase. No
such proposition is entertained By our citi-
lzens, nor is any such annexation desired by
the people of Kansas. But even were such
an annexation desired, buying The country
would not by far effect It's annexation.-
TO effect annexation two things would be
absolutely necessary more than the mere
wish,of the people of Kansas, even if they
owned every foot of the Soil of the Platte
Purchase. The Legislature of Missouri
would have to consent forgive up some
thirty thousand of her population and to
part with her jurisdiction over an area of
some four or five hundred miles-which it
IS not at all probable itwculd be willing to
do. and the Congress of the United States
would have to assent to the transfer-which
is equally improbable to suppose. The
boundaries of Kansas are fixed by act of
Congress, and Platte county could not be
included except as first acquired by the
United States and then included by law
within the limits of the Territory. The
report of such a project is wholly and une-
quivocally false, and we hope the different
papers that have imputed to the Kansas
Herald statement so false, absurd and
preposterous will do US the justice to make
the correction.

Our PosT OrrIcE.-Althoughsit it has
scarcely been six months since the estab-
lishment. of Post Office at this place, it
would surprise any person uniformed of
the extent of its business to see the large
mails that leave our city. Few of our
readers have any conception Of the large
number of letters sent from LeaYenworth.
On Tuesday last, we are told by Mr.. Har-
rison, the polite and efficient clerk, there
were over 230 letters mailed from the Of
fee-making an average Of 1000 letters
per week. This speaks we'll for the intel
ligenee of our citizens and for the business
of our city. At this rate we may expect to
soon have daily mail.
