unfairness--rhe Census.

The following article, frpm the Kicka-
poo Pioneer, furnishes conclusive evidence
that it is the design of our pro-slavery
neighbors to re-enact the disgraceful pro.
eeeding ofimporting voters from Missou-
RI which was practiced in November
last:
Does his Freesoil Excellency, Govern
or Reeder, know that at the time he an.
pointed persons to take the census of Kan
sas many of our squatters were necessa.
rliy absent? Or did he know the faets
and hurried his Freesoil clan into the f;.sld
to take the census before they would rea
turn! We opine to the latter question,
Granting such to be the case, will he have
the fooi-hardiness to call an election for
the Territorial Legislature with the belief
that correct return has been made IN
him of all the inhabitants and voters of
the Territory? If he does, he will miss
the mark longway. Whydidn't he do
as the Governor of Nebraska did notify
the people previously to the taking of the
census, so that they might be at home, if
disposed? Ne, he must indulge in that
short-sightedness which has been eharac-
teristic of the man ever since his arrival
in the Territory.
The consequence of his proceedings
willamount to this. There will be hund-
reds of actual settlers and legal voters
here before the election comes of, and
they will vote. When tie polls are closed,
and the result made known to His Ex-
cellency, there will be a great cry and pa
rade. if the pro-slavery party are tn
umphant, which surely win be, about H.
legal voting. and all the corrupt and filthy
Abolition sheets in the country will be
shouting treason, fraud. and everything
else that is calculated to get up an excite
ment in their ranks to the prejudice of
the true soEereigns of this Territory-the
pro-slayery squatters.
We have deemed it expedicnt toremind
the Governor of this matter; and If the
vote should prove to be much larger than
he anticipates, why he will only have to
upbraid bis own folly. -.

Another Store.

Weare pleased to learn that our friends.
HoRxssEs & FERRIL, are about opening
dry goods and grocery store in this city.
Their building is being erected on Mas
saehusetts street, few rods south of the
Herald of Freedoms efice. They expect
to receive their spring sesck, and be ready
for the reception of visitors, within a
couple Of weeks. We are glad to chron-
icle the addition of another store m town,
as such an establishment is much needed;
besides this. our observation has taught
US that the more places of trade there are
ina plsce. the greater viii be the amount
Of business transacted by each.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

HSDiofiiy 50, AOoO.J
Col. J. BLOOD, OF KANSAS: SIR:-I
have to acknowledge the receipt Of your
letter, inclosing one from E. D. I.add,
Esq, asking for information from this
office on certain points arising in partic-
ular cases, where, it is apprehended, there
will be conflict of claim or right between
different settlers on the same tract of land.
In reply, l have to state, that the rule
uniformly observed is, not to give an ex-
preston of opinion, in any particular
case, in advance of Its examination and
adjudication by the district ofice-inas-
much as there are always peculiar cir
cumstanees connected with each and every
claim, which can only be known or
brought to light by the investigation be-
fore the Register and Receiver, where all
parties can be heard, and an opportunity
afforded each of eross-examining the wit
nesses of the other.
/ would, however, remark generally,
that it is necessary, for the validity of a
claim, under the pre-emption act of l84l,
that the first work done upon the land by
the claimant should be of character to
indicate an intention to erect hossse; ;
and this should be continuously prose-
cuted, from the commencement to the
completion of such dwelling, at as early
period as circumstances will permit
keeping in view the nature and extent of
the building to be erected-the difficulty
in procuring materials in new and un-
settled country-adverse- circumstances
by which one party may be surrounded,
and over which he may have no control,
and which, perhaps, might not be expe-
rienced by another seeking to obtain the
same land-all these facts and circum-
stances viii be looked into, and due weight
and importance attached thereto in adju-
dieations; so as to strive to protect the
bona ede settler, and prevent the appro-
priation of his labor and Improvements
by another, who would seek to deprive
him of them by compliance with the
Ietter-not spirit-of the law.
The lands ceded by the Shawnees
were open for settlement on and after the
28th September, 1854. Very respect
fully, JOHN WILSON, Com'r.

Casualty.

We learn that a Shawnee Indian boy,
about twelve years of age. was accident
ally wounded on the 9th inst. by the
discharge of gun, while playing with
another boy of about his own age, which
resulted in his death on the 12sh inst
The little fellow had formerly been pu-
pill at DR.. BARKER's Baptist Mission, and
gave evidences of his conversion to
Christianity. He died resigned to the
will of Providence.

Printers Wanted.

Wanted Immediately at this Office two
practical printers, one of whom is COM
petent of doing press-work, and one to
fill the post Of foreman. None need ap-
ply but good workmen, of temperate and
industrious habits.

Free State Meeting.

Those favorable to free State ticket,
to be supported at the election On Friday,
the 30th inst, are requested to meet In
Lawrence on Saturday, the Gath inst, to
hear the report of a committee appointed
at a meeting held at Blanton, on the Wa
karnsa, on Saturday last, and to agree up
on candidates for the Legislature. We
hope there viii be full attendance Of all
free State men, that unanimity will char
acterize their proceedings, and that a
ticket will be nominated which shall be
unanimously supported.
It win not answer, during crisis like
the present, to talk, or even think of a
division. Whoever is nominated at that
convention asasf be sustained, let our
preferences be what they may.
We have no conception who viii be
nominated, and shall use no influence,
further than by our own vote, for or
against any candidate; on the contrary,
we pledge the successful nominees Of the
Gath our undivided support. Let none
talk of wavering, or of regrets that 9TH
ers were not on the course. The pro-
slavery party. organized in secret con-
clave in Missouri, with their candidates
nominated there, and with their imported
voters, will be here in their strength to
defeat the cause of freedom. Upon US
viii deyolye the shame, if, by division.
we defeat ourselves. We trust no man,
as he values his future position in this
district, viii attempt to produce discord,
or prevent the entire success of an anti
slavery ticket.
