JAMES H. LucAs-The card of this
magnificent steamer will be found in an
other column. We are always happy to
welcome such boats in the Missouri river
trade, and when commanded by such an
officer as Capt. Wineland, cannot fail to be
a highly popular boat. We have been ac-
quainted with the clerk on the Lucas for
several-years, and he has proven himself
to be gentleman in every particular. We
commend the Lucas the travelling public,
and to the merchants on the Missouri we
especially recommend this steamer, believ-
ing that all who patronise her will be ben
efitted in the end.

Bx1 A portion of the Mormon emigra-
ton, that is to start from this place in the
Spring, have arrived. They were put off
by the steamer Clara at Leayenworth City
after being misinformed, by the officers of
that boat, of the advantages this town pre-
sents for an outfitting and starting point.
The officers Of the Clara are stockholders
in Leavenworth, hence their opposition to
this place. We, in common with others
interested in the growth and prosperity of

advise passengers who travel on the Clara
to keep their trunks locked. Weaver and

nGP The white-washed party pretends
to be in favor of the principles of the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill, and of faithful execu-
ton of the fugitive-slave act. We take it
for granted Reeder is the father of this
scheme, as we can hardly imagine any
other man in the Territory has so poor an
opinion of the intelligence of the Squatters
as to hope that such professions would be
trusted by them.
Need we say that the very purpose of the
Emigrant Aid Society, whose tools have
put forth this platform, is the re-enactment
of the slavery restriction, the repeal of the
fugitive-slave law. Need we say that ev-
cry one of those who make these profess
sions is.a mere hireing Of the abolitionists,
under pledge to leave no means untried, to
scruple at nothing which can help them
in the success Of their schemes. That their
very oaths pledge them to repeal of so
much Of the Kansas bill as gives the squat
ters the right to make their own laws-to
repeal the fugitive-slave law, and, if the
squatters decide to make Kansas slave
State, that they have sworn TO exclude her
from tie Union!
If any man is so simple as to have
doubts about any of these matters, we only
ask him to read the publication of the plat.
forms of the leaders of the free-soil party.
Reeder is known to be the head of secret
association in this Territory, bound by then
oaths to do the bidding of their Eastern
masters. He knows how the people abhol
the open aboGtionist, hence he cunningly
makes platform, false on its face, bu
which, regarding as he does the squatter:
as his foes, he hopes may deceive them
He has yet to learn that squatters fully ap
preciate him, and are not to be fooled by
him.

Emigrants,

Every boat that comes up pours out its
crowd of emigrants. Persons from all
quarters Of the world seem to be concen-
trating in our midst. The Mormon emf
grafton are beginning to arrive, and are
busiIy at work digging out the foundations
for our numerous buildings, and grading
our streets. Men from Ohio, Pensylya-
MIA, and other States east, Southerners,
and a host of-emigrants from Missouri,
are crowding in, making claims, erecting
cabins, and preparing to commence farm
ing. All seem anxious to be in before the
election. There will be not less than eight
hundred to one thousand votes polled in
this District.
Claims. are becoming very valuable
around our town. Mr.. George Sumner,
recently of Lexington, Lafayette county,
Mo-, purchased a claim -four miles from
| this place for $500; others have refused
$1,000. We are satisfied, from the great
rush now being made to this district, that
claims will be more valuable around us,
in few months, than in any portion of the
Territory. The fact that that this is selec-
ted by the Utah emigrants and traders as
the best location on the entire Missouri as
starting point across the Plains, will at
once give us that -efninence we are en-
| titled to.

!,ateer Naws from Kansas

We have received from the special cores
pendent of the Missouri Democrat. at the
Kansas Legislature, the following Geographic
dispatch. relative 10 the proceedings of that
interesting Territory:
SHAWNEE Mission. Aug. 81. M
Editor Of the Democrat:-There has been
great deal of excitement an discussion in
the Legislature here for some days past in re-
gard to the proposed Bank Bill. and quite an
angry feeling has been aroused thereby On
Saturday, at a lat, hour, the Bill was finally
dlJeated
1.-The bill in regard to electing all terrific.
rial officers by the present Legislature has
become law. and the two Houses are now
in joint session for the purpose of carrying on,
the elections. The list of county officers to
be filled under the provisions of the act is too
long for insertion The following. however
have been elected SO far, to wit: LIST District,
Charles Grover; Cd District, II. A. Hutchin-
son; Sd District, John B. Brady"
From this it will be seen that the bill where
by the Kansas Solons enacted that all officers
in the Territory for the term Of sir years en-
.,.91.q should be filled by the presen: Legisla-
ture has become law, and we are free to say
that = more infamous invasion of the rights Of
any people, more unwarranted assumption of
power not delegated, was never perpetrated
by any assembly that ever sat in even revo-
lutionary France. Not content with legisla-
ting themselves into office in violation of the
organic law of the Territory-not satisfied
with denying TO the inhabitants and citizens Of
Kansas the constitutional rights of free speech
and a free press-but beyond and above all
this they now quietly inform the people that
they. the Legislature will now undertake TO
appoint of their own free will and accord the
her
and all local officers. not for the coming year,
or until an election can be held by the citizens.

ATTEMPT TO Blow Up A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
We understand that attempt made
Saturday night to blow up the Catholic
Church in Sidney. A large frame cooper
shop. formerly belonging to John w. Carey.
had been fitted up for church, and under
one corner of this quantity Of powder was
placed. "A train was laid for some dis
lance. which was fired about midnight. The
explosion shattered the church good deal,
but did no. PROSTATE it.
No clue had been discovered by which tie
perpetrators Of the outrage could be detected
There had been no excitement against the
Catholics in Sidney, nor was there any thing
known which, from hostility to them as a
sect. could have produced this exhibition Of
malice. The train was laid from near the res
idence of the Methodist minister. but he. OF
course, was not suspected of having any con
nection with the affair.--Dayton Journal.

A GREENHoRS AND HIS DUPE.-The editor

the New York Evening Post, In which is
detailed wonderful discovery-a real mare S
nest-made by the said verdant genus, IN
regard to the outrages perpetrated recently In
Louisville. 'by the know nothings on the free
dom of elections" This letter writer. after sta
ting that the Judges of the election in that city
were mostly Know Nothings, says, The
Judges decided that they ,could dispense t9'th

unparalleled outrage, the people were re-

tina. state This letter writer seems to have
been totally ignorant Of fact. which every
intelligent school-boy of ten years would be
ashamed to acknowledge, that ballot boxes
have never been used at elections i'll Kentucky.
The custom Of using tickets merely as mat
ter o. convenience from which the voters
may read the names Of their candidates, has
generally prevailed there of late years. The
gross ignorance. however, of this letter writer,
(who is probably some merchants collecting
clerk, for the first time away from.home, }
may be pardoned, but for the editor of wes-
tern paper. who, it would generally be PIE
sumed ought to know better, to publish such
stupidity. and then in sober earnest call the
attention Of the Palladium to this fact as
another dsmnins outrage perperated by the
Know Nothings. is wholly inexcusable. We
will charitably presume as some apology for
our neighbours lack of intelligence, that he
only intended, by publishing this letter, to
palm off an innocent deception upon his read
ers. supposing that they were so confoundedly
green, that they would sw allow it all without
once discovering how beautifully he had
hoeyed them.
