Kansas.


One of the editors Of st. Louis Democrat
has lately made long tour in Kansas, for
the purpose of making "a careful examination
into the condition of aff,irs in the Terri
tory and he expresses the belief tat the op-
ponents OF slavery there arc quarter
more numerous than its advocates. He re-
presents the state Of feeling as one of intense
excitement-the NJ ssouri Pro- Slavery men
being determined to keep possession of the
Territory ut all hazards, and the Free Soil
men being equally resolute IN resisting them.
Tie says the latter are organizing military
companies for self-defence, and anticipates
bloodshed as the result of these collisions.
There seems to be some reason to hope
that the scdate and sober-minded people Of
Missouri will set their faces against the vii
lainy and violence Of desperadoes.-We have
been expecting to see reactionary move
ment set on foot in the State, and sslaw
and order" meeting recently held by the citi-
zens OF Ray county. affords much cause for
graduation. While denouncing s.abol;-
tionism IN its true meaning" they declare in
favor Of abiding by the law of the State of
Missori and Of the United States, as being
sufficient to guard their rights and property,
and opposed ''to all mobs to drive men Ell
Their to religious or political measures. One
resolution which they adopted reflects infinite
credit on the persons composing it. This
Was to the effect that they would support no
man for any Office of trust, honor, or pro-
6t, who has proved himself to he in favor of
mobs. Here We have an unequiyocal dec
laration against Atshison, Donir han, String
fellow, and the whole tribe of incendiaries
who have been making the Kansas border a
scene Of mob violence and outrage. II the
Ray county people act up to their resolution

Gibson, and all their supporters. Let US hone

Warsaw and Rockford Railroad.

The Directory Of this company met here
yesterday, and are yet in session on bust
ness connected with the building of por-
ton Of said road. As report has it, there
is already enough subscribed to grade,
build the bridges, and furnish the cross
ties from point opposite Fort Madison to
Oquawka. It is understood that several
very responsible companies are now before
the Directory with proposals for the grad.
in. bridging, and furnishing thecross ties
between Fort Madison and O1uawka.
The construction of this part of that
road, will be Of immense commercial ad-
vantage to Madison and Oquawka, but so
far as Burlington is concerned it is our
interest to have the road completed to War
saw with the least practicable delay.
It's understood that Warsaw and Nau-
700 can between them raise sufficient funds
to grade, bridge, and furnish cross ties
for the part of the Road lying between
those points; but that will still leave gap
unprovidod for bctwixt Nauvoo and oppo-
site Fort Madison. How can the grading
&c, of that gap be provided for? Is not
Burlington enough interested in the con-
struction of that road to lend helping
hand! Were that road finished from War
saw to point opposite this place, thousands
Of dollars would be saved to the merchants
and citizens Of this place, by the facili-
ties itwould furnish them to avoid the
dangers, difficulties and expenses of the
lower rapids of the Mississippi, Aud the
construction of this road would be the death
blow Of that foolish project of Keokuk to
run road in the. rear of this place and
other cities and towns on the Mississippi.
That the Keokuk and Mt. Pleasant road
can ever be made to pay even its running
expenses, no person in his sober senses can
believe for moment; but what cares Keo-
kuk so she can get the road built by funds
supplied from other places, and may there
BY be enabled somewhat to interfere with
the trade and business Of sister towns and
cities.
II is said that switch can be run from
the Warsaw and Rockford road to inter
ecpt and form junction with the Bur
ingtcn and Peoria Il. Il. about II miles
east Of Burlington depot on the latter road.
Ifsuch be the case il is then matter Of
the frst importance to procure such june
sioo .. il win place us some s or Q miles
nearer Warsaw on Railroad measure than
the Junction contemplated by the regular
track Of tho Warsaw and Rockford rail-
rad.
Owing to the heavy interest Burlington
feels and takes in the early completion Of
her Western railroad It may not Be in her
power 10 subscribe much if anything at
present, to the stock Of the Warsaw and
Rockford Railroad company, hut as an
earnest Of what We feel aud think on the
subject and what We intend to do eventu-
