E5Speaking the American Ratification
Meeting recently held at Fayette, the Ban
ner says:-
awe did not endorse the doctrines Of the party,
and took occasion to speak Of the editor of the
Times as Traitor to the Pro-Slavery party, and
intimated, that If Green was specimen of Amer
lean patriots TO lead party it must be corrupt in
deed The Times attempts by reckless disre-
gard of truth, to evade the force of our remarks;
without particularly noticing any point in his de-
malls, we pronounce them all false"
If the Editor of the Banner" and his ad-
visers did not "enaorse the doctrines of the
party" how comes it they were in full fell
low-ship so long time--even torwdrd mem
bers in the Councis=-the "midnight con
cluve'? They were good members as long
the organization ives secret and successful,
but the administration pronounced against
it-Virginia took the other side, and the
National Council removed the veil of Secre-
cy: and what squotting tollo,Ued! Some
withdrew-others were kicked out, andthey
now howl against the Party they sought
admission into and denouncc the very prin-
ciplcs they solemnly obligated themselves 10
defend, nine months ago. Pious, Patriotic
citizens, these!
/ But the "Banner" says it 'took occasion
to speak of the Editor of the Times as O
traitor TO the Pro-Slavery party, and intima-
ted that if Green was specimen of Amer
lean patriots, to lead party, it must be cor
rupt indeed" And Green took occasion tc
denounce your charge as "false and libel.

Was the proof brough forward? Not line
Nor Wilt be; yet the Banner" will AGAR

now distinctly ask for proof, that the Editor
of the Times is, or was traitor to the pro-
slavery party. The "Banner" can speak o
nothing without bringing in Slavery, ant
denouncing some one as free soiler, traito
and so on, Now, so far as we are concern
ed, we want it to face the music and bring
forward its proof. We want ''points par

for it to pronounce them all false" If tn

TRUTH" point out wherein. Leaving tn
American Party to defend itself, and its Rat

fence) we will indulge the "Banner" in
discussion on its favorite theme, the "nig

a traitor to the pro-slavery party"

and call for proof.

1,ecomnton. the Capitol of Kansas.

Lecompton is BEAUTIFULLY situated on the
South bank Of the Kansas River, As miles
from its mouth; as from Westport; from
Lecompton to St. Joseph 80 miles; to Atchi-
son 45; Leavenworth AS; Kansas City 45;
Fort Riley ITO.
The shore which is rocky, extends 10 a
bold bluff of limestone rock, from 80 to 40
feet high, remarkably uniform along the
whole length of the town fronting the river.
From the top of the bluff the land gradually
rises to the South, and presents an excellent
hnd well adapted surface for building; sew
eral emnences are scattered over the site,
suitable for public buildings. From the
summit of these mounds most extensive and
SPLENDID views are obtained ofthe Surround
ing country and of the river, both up and
down for great distance. From these also
are seen, the dense forests North, East, and
West, and the prairie South. These points
embrace the finest timber and prairie, the
best lands in the Territory. Owing TO its
natural beauty, and advantages, for salubri-
ty-part of this town was selected by a
physician for his private residence.
Clay of the best quality for making brick
is here found in abundance, and building
stone, equal to any in the Territory, can be
obtained to any amount with grea. facility.
The surrounding country is thickly settled,
and the fine crops raised here, this summer,
prove the lands to be equal TO any in the
Territory; altogether, for beauty Of scenery,
local advantages and healthfulness of the
situation, Lecompton is not surpassed; hut
is superior 10 most places in Kansas for q
prosperous town.
The site has been much improved lately
an excellent landing made-graded sire Is
from the river extends into the town. The
streets are wide, and all trees in line o
the pavements have been preserved for shade
trees; handsome groves are preserved to
public gardens.
The groves and situations which abounc
, on that portion extending south, afford nos
lovely sites for private residences.
: The present Legislature has passed sew
) eral acts for roads from different points t
: this place and chartered a company 70
building bridge across Kansas river. T
