capital Of that State. Lecompton is nam
ed in honor of Judge Lecompte. late O

Court of Kansas. 1t is situated on Kansa.
river, near the geographical centre of the
Territory, and is about sixty miles from
Westport; Missouri. A letter from the
latter place in the St. Lois Republican
dated the 9Th inst, says:
Convenient as it is to all portions OF the
Territory, the location will doubtless give
general satisfaction. The town site is
beautiful. Timber abounds. Water is plen.
ty. Both timber and water are of the
most excellent quality. Yesterday shares
in the Lecompton Town Company could
have been bought for one hundred dollars;
today they cannot be bought for less than
one thousand, except when party is CON-

Mr. AAYWooDiS sPEEcH

The speech of Mr. HAYwooD, candidate for the
Legislature in this county, fills considerable space
in our paper to-day. We think DIR HAYwooD ex-
aggerates the ''disunion' sentiment which existed
in 1850; but as be is wing, and wing candlda'e
for the Legislature, we cannot expect to agree
with allhe says. There being no wing paper now
in this city, or rather no paper which advocates
whiggery, as distinct from know-nothingism, we
are REQUIRED TO accommodate the wings, who are
vet whips. by the publication of their documents.
Aswe said of Gov. JoNEs's letter, the conclusions
of Mr.. HAywooD are admirable, and we will not
.ousrrel" with him about the road which he travels
to reach those conclusions. The points against
know-uothingism sre put with great force. and the
speech viii be read with peculiar interest from the
source from which it comes
Mr.. HAYWOOD claims to be now, what he has
ever been a schig. He has certainly right to call
himself an American, for he bears name identi-
fed with the history OF Tennessee. He is the
grandson Of Judge HAYwoon, who was the first
historian Of our State, and be was himself although
but mere boy, one Of the Tennessee Volunteers in
the war with Mexico. These personal references
are not Inappropriate, at a time when it is fash
