Parkville Meeting.

In another column of our paper, can be
seen the proceedings of a meeting of the
citizens of Parkyille, in which they en-
dorse the destruction of the Parkville press.
and repel the charge that sc Parkville is a
freesoil and abolition hole" We have
lived in Parkville long enough to know
that great majority Of her citizens are
sound on the slavery question, and further,
that they repudiated the doctrines of the
Parkville Luminary. The views of news
paper published in town, are often taken
as the voice of the population, when in
fact it is often the case that a very large
majority of the inhabitants entertain opin-
ions antagonistic to the editors. Such we
know to be the case in this instance
There can be found men in Parkville as
true and as brave as in other portions of
the State, and men who are as anxious for
the success of pro-slavery principles in Kan
sas as any of our citizens. Henceforth,
let us hear no more of this foul SANDER /.
Let allsswho doubt our assertion, read the
expressions of the sentiments of the citi-
zens of that flourishing town, as published
in another column, and they must be con-
yinced.
Squatter sovereign. [volume] (Atchison, Kan. Terr.) 1855-1858, 1855-05-01
A Fast Age.

Even the horses seem to be inspired by
the same progressive spirit of which we
hear so much among the bipeds, and they
run faster, kick, and snort louder than the
chooses of other days." If there be no
mistake about the telegraphic despatch
from New Orleans, which says that Lex
ington beat Lecompt in the great four mile
race, run on the End inst, making the
heat in I'm. Is 3-4s., all former horsedom
is thrown into the shade by upwards of
considerable, and the representatives of
"Yo ung America" of the horse order, are
away ahead of the old fogies. The fast
est time made by Fashion in the race in
which she beat Boston was I'm. 32s,; this
continued to be the best time on record un-
til last fall, when Lecompt made the heat in
I'm. 26s.; AMI now it appears that Lexing-
ton has beaten that, and got it down to I'm.
1S,3-4s.
1t turns out, however, this was single
dash of four miles against time, and not q
regular race, where any necessity existed
of reserying any energies for another heat,
or perhaps two heats, as was the case
when Lecompt made his great time. It is,
nevertheless, great running.

More Emigrants.

The Golden State arrived at our wharf
last Friday, and put off large number of
Salt Lake emigrants. This is the third
detachment that has arrived at Atchison
this season, and others are soon to follow.
The camps of the emigrants, just back of
town, presents city-like appearance, their
tents leaving streets, alleys, SC. between
them. The health of the emigrants is
good, with but little or no sickness among
them. Those who were indisposed when
first landed have regained their accustomed
health, and are now congratulating them
selves on being landed at so healthy a
point. All speak well Of this place, and
endorse it as a most desirable Quitting
and starting point.

some queer jurymen IN Iowa. A few days
since an old topper died rather suddenly
The coroner, in consequence, held an In
quest, listened TO the testimony Of a
physician, and was about rendering YER
dict water on the BRAIN when MIR. Slocum
Hepplapodiz rose to object-'Mr. Coroner
I have known the deceased for ten mortal
years, and I know he has never seen . So
Der moment in all that time. To say hat
such man can die of water on zhe brain,
IS therefore id nonsense. Itcan't be !:
Cause why2 He never took any into his
system. The true verdict, Mr.. Coroner
should be gin,rurn or brandy on the brain
but, as / am willing to split the difference

Wetting down the Dog Star.

We call attention to an article, from the
Platte Argus Extra, in regard to the SUBJ
merging of the ParLville Luminary Office
in the Missouri River. This paper has,
since its establishment, aided and assisted
the Abolitionists. 1t has grown holder and
holder in its attacks upon the institution of
slavery.
We have frequently heard it asserted,
that slaves in Platte county subscribed to
and read this paper without their masters
knowledge. 1t had become an intolerable
nuisance and the citizens Of Platte owed
it TO themselves to abate it.
The citizens of Platte have done just
what, in our opinion. they should have per-
formed. These Northern scoundrels should
be taught, that they cannot come into a
slave State and promulgate sentiments,
which left unchecked, would soon lead our
slaves to instruction. Missourians have
been too apathetic in regard to the conduct
of these Northern fire-brands. They must,
for the future, be suppressed-at the cost
of their property, if that will accomplish
tat the cost of their lives, when every
other remedy fails.
The conduct of the people of Platte viii
be approved and hailed with delight, by
three fourths of the citizens of the State
There viii be some to condemn-you may
know In what catalogue TO place them. OF
the papers in the State, we know of but
four, that will speak in terms of censure.
We will not call their names. but would
say two of them claim to be wing and the
others are Bentoniac We shall wait with
some little Impotence to see our prediction
yeri6ed.-Brunswicker.
