Gov. Shannon.

Gov. SHANNON passed up to Lecomp-
ton on Friday last. He was within one
and half miles of Lawrence-the largest
settlement in the Territory-and yet he
was SO pressed with duties that he could
not give US even passing call. He could
accept of a public reception in Missouri,
and make an address from the Harris
House in Westport, Mo-, to Mssourians,
but Lawrence was quite too small pota-
toes for his consideration. Thank God
The reign of dema gogueism is fast draw
ing to close.
A brief chapter from the election re-
turns of the 18th Congressional district
of Ohio, may be referred to with profit.
In 1852 Wilson Shannon wasa candidate
for Congressman in that district, and on
the Cd Tuesday of October, after count
ing up the returns it was found that Mr.
Shannon the Democratic nominee, had
in the vicinity of 1,1oo majority. In
May, 1854, We find his vote recorded
in favor of the Kansas Nebraska bill
and on the Cd Tuesday OF October follow
ing another election was held in the 18th
Congressional district of Ohio, and the
Democratic nominee was laid on the shelf
with the snug little majority of 1900
against him--a change of $500 votes in
two years in one Congressional district.
Mr.. ALBRIGHT, Mr.. SHANNoN's successor,
is thorough-going anti-slayery man,
and will do all he can to undo the great
outrage which Mr.. S. and his compeers
inflicted on Kansas, and the country at
large.

1t seems as though the slave power

Refuses to Surrender.

Judge Elmore positively refuses to sur
render his office. He claims that Pres
ident Pierce has not the po wer to remove
him. The Columbian, speaking of the
removal of Gov. Reeder and of the refu-
sal of Elmore to surrender his office,
says:
"The Kansas Legislature have made
up their minds, that Judge Elmore shall
not exchange his Judicial tile for that of
plain Mister. He is a good fellow and
a great Eavorite, and what is more and
better, is a frst-rate pro-slayery man,
and will, on occasions, be irst-rate pro-
slavery Judge. Therefore, to remove
him would be anconstitutional-yery,
and they, the Kansas Legislature, have
too much regard for those abstract and
organic principles of justice and equality
which are supposed to be especially em-
bodied in constitutions, to submit to the
outrage of any such instrument. 1t was
quite constitutional for the President to
remove Governor ofhis own appoint
ment but to remove Judge, who de-
rived his place from the same source, was
quite out of the question!
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-09-15
Enslayed.

The Missouri Democrat, speaking of
the enactments of the .'Barons," lately
in session at the Shawnee Mission, provi-
ding for the election of all officers inithe
Territory for six years, says.
"From this it will be seen that the bill
whereby the Kansas Solons enacted, that
all officers in the Territory for the term
of six years ensuing, should be filled by
the present Legislature has become alaw,
and we are free to say that more infa-
nous invasion of the rights of any peo-
pie, more unwarranted assumption OF
power not delegated. was never perpetra-
ted by any assembly that ever tin even
revolutionary France. Not content with
leoislating themselves into Office in viola
ton of the organic law of the Territory
not satisfied with denying to the in
habitants and citizens of Kansas the con-
stilutional rights of free speech and a
free press-but beyond and above all this,
they now quietly inform the people that
they, the Legislature, will now undertake
to appoint, OF their own tree VIII and ac-
cord, the sheriffs. constables, attorneys,
tax assessors, and all local officers, not
for the coming year, or until an election
can be held by tie citizens. but for six
years from the present time.'
Gov. Shannon proposes to enforce a
law which Shareholders object to in such
unqualified terms, Good Heavens has
it come to this. that our people can rest
quietly,-submit, even temporarily. to
such an enslavement? Hung be the
heavens in black !" if such is the case.
Better that universal anarchy should pre-
vail, than that law so infamous in all
its provisions, should be enforced upon
US.

Shawnee Reservation SURVEYED.

The survey of the Shawnee Reserva-
ton was completed on Monday last, by
the public surveyors, under the direction
of JAMES BRoDus, Esq, of Virginia.
The southeast corner is about twenty
eight miles south of the Kansas river, on
The boundry of Missouri; thence the line
runs west thirty miles; thence north to
the Kansas. eighteen and one-fourth
miles. The line leaves Palmyra on the
outside Of. the Reservation, from one-hali
to hree-fourths ola mile: and runs about
the same distance east of Franklin. Some
eight improved claims at Black Jack,
near Hickory Point, were thrown into the
Reservation; also number in the yicin,
ity of Franklin.

ronr of the Territory.

DR.. WEBB returned from his tour up
the country on Thursday last. He VS.
tied Manhstten, and journeyed two days
up the Big Blue, where he found an
abundance of unoccupied lands awaiting
claimants. He speaks very fatteringly
of the Big Blue and its tributaries, and
saw on tie Wild Cat second crop of
corn, melons, pumpkins, ETC., growing
on the claim of Isaac T. Goodenow, from
Rhode Island, who arrived at his present
location sometime in April last.
The Doctor was at Pawnee and Fort
Riley, and spent two days up the Repub-
lican Fork. From thence he visited
Waubonsa, UnionviIie. Brownville. Coun-
ell City. and back to Lawrence, by way
of Willow Springs and Blanton. He
gives a very favorable account of the
country, and is delighted with the eli
mate, scenery. DC. The Big Blue abounds
with springs, and the higher up he went
from its mouth, the more timber he
found. During his entire tour he never
saw foot OF low, waste, or marshy land,
He found more timber than he expected,
and says the longer he remains in the
country the better he likes it.
Several good situations for water mills
were observed, particularly along Rock
Creek, whose rocky bottom, high banks
and rapid current makes it very desila-
bic point for saw and grist mills
DIR. Webb procured a small selection
of geological, chronological, and other
specimens in natural history. He regrets
that his business demands his return be-
fore he can complete tour of the Terri
tory. He designs, however, to visit the
Neosho and Osawaiomie if possible, be-
fore he returns, which he expects will be
in about ten days. We hope, ultimately,
to see sketch of his trip over his own
signature. and would be glad to receive
it for publication in the HERALD OF FREE
DOM.
