The Four Points.

Our readers have heard great deal of
the famous -Four Points that England and
France wish to impose On Russia as the
basis for the adjustment of ruptured rela-
tions." They are
1st. That the former treaties existing be-
tween Russia and the Porte must be ex-
tinguished, and pretensions of Russia to
interfere beyond her own frontior abolish
ed.
Cd. That the free navigation of the Da-
nube be secured.
Sd. That the Convention of the Straits
be revised for the purpose of opening the
Black Sea to the commercial and political
agents of all countries, and of destroying
the maritime ascendeney in Russia in those
waters.
4th. That the proteetorate of the Greek
Church be merged In the common rights
secured by the Porte to all her Christian
subjects.
Squatter sovereign., 1855-03-13

Having learned that the census returns
had all been received by the Governor, we
expected to have been in possession of the
proclamation ordering the election before
this, and to publish It Ia this number of our
paper. We have been disappointed how
ever, but will have il certainly we presume
in our next number. II is very certain
that the Districts will be altered very ma
terially, and the Squatters should all have
the Proclamation before bringing out cam
didates. and to know certainly the district
each man is in. 1t is very plain that Gov
ernor Reeder wishes to create as much
confusion and dissension as possible,
hoping thereby to weaken our forces. We
very much mistake the character of the
Squatter, if they viii permit any selfish mo-
tiyes to govern their votes. Only one
idea should prevail and that is the defeat
of the Abolitionists. To do that we must
have no Local candidate, no split Tickets
hut all must unite, and for this election at
least loose sight of every prejudice, and
like brothers unite in support OF a anited
Ticket; In support of "Squatter Sovereign
ty," and Southern Rights.

GEN. j. w. WHITFIELD
Kansas Emigrants from Missouri.

Within the last few days we have well
coined TO Kansas great many of our old
friends from Missouri. They are coming
in to make permanent settlement, and we
are glad to see them in before the election,
as it is very obvious that our nominal Gov
ernor is devoting all his time to try and
carry the ensuing election for the abolition
lists. He is 1--WE have no doubt) delaying
the election as long as he dare, for the pllr-
pose of getting as many of his negro
thieving friends from Thayer & Co., as he
can, prior to the election, and to drill his
secret confederates as thoroughly as pos
sible before the fight comes off: Won't it
be glorious sight to see this regiment OF
his Excellency's? Fallstaf''s ragged regi-
ment would be beautiful compared to it.
And it is intimated that they will really
have death-dealing Revolvers and huge
Bowie Knives; yeryragged rascal of them.
We hope none of the .bloody villains, y
will come this way, ''our folks" are not used
to the smell of gunpowder, and the gleam-
ing Of Knives, tmakes us feel like faint.
ing to talk about it, we really think the
government ought to be called on, to protec,
us from these bloody minded Thayer men.
We hope our timid friends in. Missouri
will not be scared out of their intention OF
coming here however, perhaps we may per-
suade them not to hurt us. Provisions are
scarce in Kansas, we would therefore sug.
gest to the emigrants to bring their guns
and ammunition with them, as game is very
abundant Deer. Turkeys Sc; and a Mis-
sourian can always make living with his
gun in game country. We would also
advice that they bring plenty of well twis-
ted Hemp rope, as there may be great
many ne horse thieves about the time
of our election, and it might be necessary
to hang some of them by way of example
and to prevent the shedding of blood, as
Cromwell once said, when he ordered q
company to be shot.
We are order loving and law abiding
men, but until we make laws, we are
HIGHER-law men. We goin for hanging
thieves of all kinds, as HIGH as Haman, a.
gentle hint to evil disposed men, to dcte
them from the commission of crime.

Look ont for Fraud.

We publish this week the Governors
Proclamation for new District, to be call
ed the 18th Election District, composed Of
portions of the 11th, 18th and 18th Dis
tricts, as originally districted, and the vo-
ting place at Moore's, on the Nemeha.-
We have heard flying rumors that this dis
triet, now the 18th, will be so altered as to
include large portion Of this same 18th
District. and taking in the precinct above
named. We will not vouch for the truth Of
the rumors, but are prepared for all kinds
of swindling tricks, at the hands Of on
wiley Free-Soil Governor.
Voters, be on your guard, and be sure o.
your voting place before the day of elee.
ton. We will keep you posted, we have
our eye on his Excellcncy, and will ferre
out every dodge he may attempt

Platte County Emigrant-Aid Society.

fiatGe county Em1grant-A1d society.
We were in Platte City, on Monday
last, the first day Of Circuit Court. In the
afternoon the Court Room, a very spacious
one, was filled to ooverfowing, not less than
25o0 or 5000 persons being present, for the
purposeof organizing, to aid old and young
men in going to Kansas for settlement.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge Almond, when speeches were made
by Cen Stringfellow, Rev. L. Kerr, Amos
Reese, Mr. McCalla of Kansas Territory,
and others, on the duty and necessity OF
going to Kansas, for immediate and per-
manent settlement There was but one
sentiment evinced by the vast crowd assem-
bled, and that was the greatest enthusiasm,
manifested by bursts of applause, as the
eloquent speakers were addressing them,
and determination, (if necessary to
emigrate er-masse to Kansas, before she
should become the home of lawless set
of infdels, and Abolitionists, the ASYLUM
for negro thieves and free negroes.
Mn. kerr delivered an address proving
from the Bible, the authority for slavery,
clear and conclusive and read a poem of
some length called the Origin and Progress
of Abolitionism, Free-Soilism and other
Isms, which for keenness of satire and po-
etic beauty, we have never seen surpassed.
The meeting unanimously resolved to re-
quest copy Of the poem and remarks pre-
ceeding it for publication, which was OBJ
tanned, and we will present to our readers
next week. The reading of the Poem
alone, is worth our subscription price.
Efficient means will be taken to send at
once, a very large emigration to our Ter
ritory.
We also learned from reliable source,
that an immense emigration would come in,
early in the spring from the Southern States.
Families with all their slaves, are making
preparations to move as soon as the wealth
er will permit.
We must do our duty by carrying this
election, and by the next, we shall have the
largest and best population that ever enter
ed new Territory. Men of capital will
at once come in, and our now vast wilder.
ness will be covered with industrious and
thrifty families, and the happy jovial faces
Of our contented and happy negroes, will
warm our hearts at every turn,-and we
need no more sing

twenty years, and increased the capital

$3.50, 900 to $500, 900. The Bank of Will

advertise your business Do not hide
your light under a bushel. Whatever your
occupation or calling may be, if it needs
support from the public, advertise it freely
and effiiently. Iconfess that the success I
have had in my life may fairly be attribu-
ted more to the public press than to nearly
all other causes combined. There may
possibly be occupations that do not require
advertising, but I cannot well conceive what
they are Men in business viii sometimes
tell you that they have tried advertising
and that it did not pay. This is only when
advertising is done sparingly & grudgingly.
Homeopathic doses of advertising will not
pay perhaps-it is like half portion OF
physic taking. Administer literally and
the cure will be sure and permanent
Some say they cannot afford to advertise;
they mistahc-they cannot afford not to

HEIR TO THE FRENcH THRoNE.-An
extraordinary reports current in Paris, to
the effect that the. Emperor has resolved to
declare the Count de Morny the legitimate
son Of King Louis of Holland and Queen
Hortense, and, consequently, his uSsn broth
er. 1t is added that his Majesty will at
the same time raise the Count to the rank
of Imperial Highness, and declare him
heir to the empire. 1t is said that recent
events which have occurred in the East,
together with the fact that there appears to
be no chance of direct heir to the Imper-
ial throne, has. 81 late fosced this measure
on the attention ofthe Emperor. In Paris
and throughout France, Prince Napoleon's
career as warrior has become the subject
of jokes, distiches. and alf that artillery Of
satire, for which the French have ever
been noted.
