THE KANSAS PIONEER.

For the information Of the contributors
to the Kansas Pioneer, we will state that
Col. A. ]. Isacks is an actual bona fde
resident of Kansas Territory. not s'encamp-
ed'' as the Herald of Freedom would say
upon our soil, but permanent resident"
even in the sense in which our Ex-Govern-
or used the words. He is the sole possess
sor Of a pre-smption right to a certain claim
of 160 acres of land, in our Territory, which
he expects to get a patent for some day, if
he has money enough. He is true and
thorough squatter of the southern school,
and belongs to that class of men whom our
friend Greely Of the New York Tribune
would stigmatize as "Border Ru7fdns."
Col. Isaclls is now at the Shawnee Mis-
sion, where he has been detained during
the session Of the Legislature by his official
duties,
In regard TO the Kaw Land affair we
will say that it was no purchase at all, as
alledged. Col. Isacks, together with three
or four other persons, proposed to buy the
land, if the President sanctioned the con-
tracts The President has not done so,
which of course annuls the agreement be-
tween the parties.
1t was not on account Of this transaction
that Reeder brought upon his head the con-
demnation of the pro-slavery party. 1t
was used by the President as subterfuge
in order to remove him but Southern men
based their demands upon far different
grounds.
For the information of eJUsr1cE and
CANDoR" we will say, that the family of
Col. Isacks, together with his slaves, are
with him at the Shawnee Mission, and
that they live with him in Kansas Terrific
ry, and not in Louisiana, notwithstanding
the bold declaration Of Northern lawyers,
that slavery cannot exist here, without the
express authorization of law.
Rumor says the Hon. A. J. Isacks has
already been removed from the office of
Attorney General, of this Territory; but
Notwithstanding this, he has cast his lot
upon the soil of Kansas, with the view OF
remaining, and we doubt not but that in
her onward march to prosperity. she will
remember the fortunes of her adopted son.

The Gocereos.shto orKa,ssas.

Our latest Eastern advices bring the in
telligence-to us not unexpected that the
Hon. John =. Dawson. of Pennsylvania,
has declined the Governorship OF the Ter
ritory. and that Hon. Wilson Shannon, Ex-
Governor of Ohio, has been appointed in
his place to fill the Executive chair, so re-
Gently vacated by the removal of Reeder.
Mr.. Shannon was once Governor of the
Buckeye State, was member Of the last
Congress, ard supported the Kansas bill.
His antecedency we think is pretty fair
and creditable, although not such as to es-
tablish his soundness on the ..goose ques-
ton" We are as yet unapprised whether he
will accept the appointment or nor.
The general opinion here is that he will
decline. Should he do SO, we hope Hon.
Dan'l. Woodson, our worthy and energetic
Secretary, will receive the appointment
Mr.. Woodson is gentleman of distin-
guished attainments, national in all his po-
litical feelings, noble in heart and honora.
bic in bearing. and is highly esteemed by
men of all parties in our Territory. We
have no hesitation in saying that better
or more popular appointment could not be
made.

They don't help complaints, but they cure

One Box has cured Dyspepsia.
Three Boxes have cured the worst cases Of

Two Boxes have cured Erysipelas.
One Box alwaSs cures the Jaundice
Three Boxes are sure to cleanse the system
from Boils-often less than one does it.
Two Boxes have completely cured the worst
Of ulcers on the legs.
Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles.
One dose cures the headache arising from a
foul stomach.
Strong doses often repeated expel every worm
from the body. They should be given to chill

with this scourge.
As gentle physic they have no equal
One Box cures arrangement of the liver.

They purify the blood, and thus strike at the

DEMOCRATIC CAMP-MEET1NG.-
have frequently heard of religious camp
meetings, but never heard We of political
camp-meeting, until we saw the announce
ment of one, in the last number of the Reg
lister, to be held at Tecumseh, on the 30th
of this month. Although we have been told
this meeting was called for the purpose ol
organizing Democratic party in Kansas
it would seem from the following earnest
and pathetic invitation, thrown out by the
editor of the Register,-the great leader in
the movement-that its object is purely Of
a religious character. Mr.. Delahay says
We would cordially invite the penitent to at,

our sorrows, and express our grief at the dispen-
sation of Providence. The green earth on which
he so recently walked with the pride of man.

and yirtuous; model of integrity imbued with

| attached to himself many warm and conhding

OUR LEGISLATURE.

The adjournment Of our Legislature from
Pawnee, where they were dragged by Elk,
Governor Reeder, with the view of enhanc.
ing his lots in that great city, % to the
Shawnee Mission having been seized upon
as pretext by Reeder-contemptible and
fimsy as it was-for vetoing all bills pas
sed by that body, and for declaring then
legislation invalid, a resolution was passed
a week or two since, by our Legislative
Assembly to get the written opinion of the
Judges Of the Supreme Court of the Terri
tory as to their right in removing to the
Shawnee Mission, and upon the validity o
their Legislation at the place where they
are now in session.
We have before us the opinion of Chiet
Justice LEcoMPTE, concurred in by Asso.
ciate Justice Elmore, and Attorney Gen'l
Isacks, In response to that resolution, and
would lay it before our readers if it were
not for its great length. 1t ably and fully
sustains, by elaborate argument, and 1ndis
putable precedents, the course of our Legis
lature, AMI declares them constitutions
body.
This decision will render all laws passed
by our present Legislature of binding force,
and will give a quietus to the great CRY
raised by Reeder and his reasonable myr-
midons about illegal Legislation.

LECoMPToN.

The young, thriving and beautiful town
of Lecompton- which we have frequent
ly spoken on previous occasions-has been
designated by our Legislature as the rer-
manent seat Of Government Of this Terri
tory. We do not believe that more de-
sirable, beautiful or eligible point could
have been selected for the location of the
Capital. Beautifully situated on the Kan
sas river, opposite the mouth of its largest
and best timbered tributary, surrounded by
a country rich in agricultural and mineral
resources, accessible by all the principal
roads in our Territory, the town of Le-
compton possesses every natural advantage
necessary to make it the largest and most
beautiful inland town in our Territory
The situation of the town site is unsurpas-
singly beautiful, while its streets, squares
and reservations have been made on the
most liberal and unobiectionable scale.
We learn that there are already being
erected at Lecompton large number oil
buildings, and that in few weeks large
saw and grist mill will be in operation
there. Arrangements have also been
made, by a company of enterprising men,
for the immediate construction of a sub
stantial bridge across the Kansas river op-
posite the town. From the gratifying in
telligence we have received from reliable
sources Of the present prospects of Lecomp.
ton, we shall expect to see itprogress more
rapidly than any town on the Kansas river
Indeed it would not surprise US to see
Lecompton in one year hence the second
city in Kansas in point of population and
importance.
We suppose that arrangements will be
speedily effected for the erection Of public
buildings at Lecompton, from the appro.
priation Of fifty thousand dollars made by
Congress for that purpose. The act o.
Congress making this appropriation pro.
vides that the sum appropriated shall be
expended for the erection of suitable pub.
lie buildings, under the direction of the
Governor, so soon as the permanent seat o.
Government has been located.
The expenditure of this appropriation
will give employment to large number O.
mechanics, and will tend in great meas
ure to accelerate the growth and trade o.
Lecompton.
Any desired information relative to the
town Of Lecompton can be gained by ad'
dressing Hon. Dan'l. Woodson, or J. A

The Platte .RrgeES.

We are much gratifed to know that our
controversy with the Platte Argus, in re-
lation to the position taken by Gen. J. w.
Whitfield in the canvass last fall, unpleas-
ant as it has been to us, is at an end, and
that this paper is exhonerated from the
charge of Misrepresentation for having
stated that Gen. Whitfield claimed to have
been elected as a NATIONAL ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN DEMOCRAT. In the last issue of the
Argus its intelligent and honorable editor,
with commendahle rromptness and frank
ness, admits that we have established the
authenticity of our statements, and makes
the anpe,.de honorable for having charged
this paper with misrepresentation. We
are glad to see this prompt retraction Of the
charge We entertain the most friendly
feelings towards the Argus, and receive its
amende in the merit in which it is made.
