MORMON EMIGRANTs.-On Sunday last,
there We're landed from off the Clara, 169
mormon emigrants, destined for Salt Lake.
They are from Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Switzerland, and one or. two from
Iceland. Among them were quite num-
Der of females and children. They gener-
ally looked healthy and appear to bean or
derly quiet, and well disposed people. At
the south part of our town is a creek that
empties into the river, and beautiful val
ley, affording fine camping grounds
There is an abundance of water and fine
springs, and soon will be plenty Of grass
There is no better place for emigrants get
ting good Accommodations, and superior camp
ing grounds than Leayenworth. There is
an effort now being made, we regret to say,
by some of our neighbors across the river,
to- get these emigrants to remove. 1t seems
the opposition of a certain tesO to the inter-
ests of Leavenworth has no bounds. But
it will go ahead, despite all opposition
1t is now the largest place in the Terrific
ry, and viii continue to advance with rap
id strides, to be the great commercial empo-
rum of Kansas Territory.

EWThe Parkyille Luminary learns
that the Kansas Free State, an abolition
sheet published at Lawrence, has made an
unwarrantable attack upon the Hon. JOHN
CALHOUN, Surveyor General of Kansas
and Nebraska, intimating that he is neg
lecting his duty, while he is playing into
the hands of the pro-slavery interests.
Such charge from such source. needs
no refutation here, where the facts are
known. Mr.. Calhoun is known to be a
thorough business and highly honorable
man. He came out here and done all he
could towards having the base lines estab'
lished, preparatory to sectionising the lands
this Spring and summer. He then return
ed leaving his business in competant hands
with view of bringing his family out IL
the Spring. That he is neglecting his bus
mess for any purpose is simply untrue
And whether he is OF has been doing any
thing for the pro-slayery interests in Kan
sas we DO not know, but hope he has,
Like every other man he has a right to hi:
views, and We presume is not to be deter
red from expressing them by any thing the
Free State may say.

ElectlO2s.-In this Leavenworth Dis
trict, the, free so2ers will make desperate
struggle to carry the election. They now
boast of having majority in the District
and are expecting large importation ol
voterS. Their agent Leib, has gone to St.
Louis, to give direction to the emigrants.
In expectation ofgaining the victory here,
some of the less discreet free soilers, say if
the Missourians come over here and at
tempt to vote, they will have 'dear time
of it''-and are already boasting that the
day is not far distant when they will "make
Missourians toddle across the river" This
is the language now used, coupled with
threats of what they are going to do. Won
der if any body is scared! We suppose al
least no one will be deferred from exercis-
ing his right of voting, even if he does not
come up to the standard of qualifications
fixed by the Governor.

LEAVENWoRTH, <. r, MARCH so, 1855.

PosITIoN of MR. TwoMBLY.-As we
do not wish to do Mr.. Twombly injustice OF
have him misrepresented, at his own request
we give his position as he expressed it to
Malcolm Clark, and ourself. AS he will
be a candidate wewin therefore give SIM
pie statement of what he said. :
Some time since before commencing to
take the census, he called Malcolm Clark
and ourselfout and said among other things
that he sswas satisfied the issue was to be
pro-slayery or Abolition and he should not
hesitate to choose. This is as we under
stood it. Mr.. Twombly says, ,thathis remark
was, If that is to be the issue he should not
hesitate to choose. Mr.. Clark, says he
further understood Mr.. Twombly to say, he
wanted US to place him right with our pro-
slavery friends. ie
This is the sum and substance of the mat
ter. As we have given Mr.. Twombly the
benefit of his own Interpretation he cannst
complain. The fact is sseveral of our friends
expressed themselves pleased at hearing
Mr.. Twombly, was about to take the pro-
slavery side of the question. We will say
further, that he remarked as we believe,
that his opinions were unchanged, as to the
expedincy of making this free State
This however we understood to be coupled
with the idea that it could not be kept clear
of the Abolition and free soil influence.
