R. R. REES, Chairman
c. G. HARRISON, Secretary.

The following is an extract of a letter
from Ex-Governor Metealf, of KY, written
to his grand son. w. A. Cunningham, ESQ.
of St. Joseph, Mo-, under date of April Is,
1855. It is on Kansas affairs, and VIC
transfer it with pleasure to our columns. 1t
comes from an old man Of age and expert
ence, now on the verge Of his grave. We
commend it to the attention of our readers
Who can wonder that the people of ST.
Joseph and its vicinity should make an eff
fort to counteract and set at nought the infa-
nous conduct of North Abolitionists,
and the degraded hirelings whom they send
to rob the free white men of the South of
their property-irst of their just and equit-
able rights in the Territory, regardless of
their oaths and of the Constitution-then of
their slaves.
If slavery be sin, our brothers of ii e
North are as guilty as the South, and cannot
relieve themselves of that guilt by the ini-
quitous and unpatriotic course pursued by
the fanatical hypocrites and demagogues
in their midst. God forbid that I should
make this hard charge against the North
generally, or any one of the Northern States;
bat against the traitorous classes alluded to
no language or reproach would be too strong.
They are, by this section of the Union, more
to be loathed and detested, then the worst
of what we call Fillibusters are by old Spain,
and if they cannot be overcome and put
down by the yirtuous and patriotic por-
ton of that same Northern section, then
woe be to the Union and the Republic.
Look at the present condition of Ken
lucky, as well as Missouri. Kentucky, as
we all know, poured the best blood of her
gallant sons, and her treasure upon the from
tier of the Northwest for the protection
and security of the sons and daughters of
that region, when it was weak and needed
the aid of Kentuckians. Can it be that that
section will ever unite with the traitorous
element In their midst to rob Kentuckians
of their just and and equitable rights in our
Territories, or of any other property? For
one, am not yet prepared to believe it.
Well acquainted as am with an host of
the leading spirits of that section, l will not,
cannot believe it. They are virtuous, intel
ligent, just and patriotic. When fairly
reused and brought into action, I believe
and hope they will do their duty-a duty
measured, not by that narrow and sectional
feeling now so prevalent In many of the
Northern and Eastern States but by whole
souled and manly patriotism which embra-
ces the whole Union and all its interest.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACTS.

Specimens from the truthful, chaste and
classic pen of Kelly of the Squatter Sover-
eign. We only give two or three extracts
this week. What pity such rich, racy
and spicy writer should not be employed by
some of the penny-a-liner papers of the
cities. He might there gain some distinc-
.tion in his calling:
"ABoUT TO DRY UP.-The water in the Mis-
souri, river is getting very low. Navigation, is
in great degree, suspended. We learn that a
duck, in attempting to swim the river opposite
Leayenworth City, last week, got hard aground
on a sand bar, and is now anxiously waiting a
rise in the river to float her off.

sCHoEERAs AT LEAvENwoRrH CIrY.--We
learn that the cholera is raging at fearful rate
in this Villages to the extent OF from ten to fifteen
cases per day. (?) That there should be chol-
era at Leavenworth, is not to be wondered at.-
Aside fromits unhealthy situation, the presence
of such nuisance as the Kansas Herald is
enough to breed the most loathsome diseases p

Another victim.

A negro was shot on the Indian reserve,
between this city and Westport, last Mon
day, as we are informed from a re liable
source. The poor victim of tyranny, ami
mated with the love of liberty which the
Creator has planted in the minds of all his
creatures, was attempting to escape from
bondage which has cursed hisTace. A Shaw
nee Indian saw and attempted to capture
the poor fellow down, as he would a wild
animal. The tyrant who claimed the man
as his property, expressed himself satisfied
as far as the manning of the slave was con-
.cerned, but only wanted to find the sd--d
,Abolitionist, who persuaded him to escape
Thai .a6olitionist, Uto implanted an the mind
Of man the Iove Of life and liberty, and hatred
Of oppression IN every form, sets ON the Eter-
nal Throne. He can al.rays be found there.
He is mighty and ,ciu preuail
The above is from the Herald of Free
dom published at Lawrence, and is. only
worthy the blasphemous author, who could
style the great Jehovah, an Abolitionist-
niger stealer :! We publish it to show
the spirit that actuates these Abolitionists
who decoy off slaves, and rob their neigh
bors of their property, and then ascribe il
to one who sits on the g Eternal Throne"
Such sentiments are disgrace to humanity,
and its author deserves q fate worse than
that of Park & Patterson. Slaveholders

Ilecreant editor of the Herald Of Freedom

GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE Dry.

The election passed off very quietly
without any fighting or disturbance. Rec
der nor his myrmidons cannot say this
time, at least, that Missourians took the
polls and Kansas was conquered by an
armed fercs of 'sborder rufhans." This
was emphatically an election by the Squat
ters,-the actual bona fde residents Of the
Territory. And Notwithstanding the Free
Soilers rallied all their forces, and obtained
about twenty-five votes from the steamer
Kate Cassel ,-the hands on the boat
and several soldiers; yet they were beaten
four to one,-by an overwhelming ma
jority of the legal resident voters of the
Territory.
The actual vote Of the Free.soilers, ex.
cluding steamboat hands and soldiers was
not exceeding 100, while that of the Pro-
Slavery ticket was SCI. Let as no longer
hear Free Soilers and Abolition letter
writers, say that Kansas was conquered by
an armed force of '' border rv6iams." We
have beaten them second and third time,
and will continue to beat them on every
battle field, and on every occasion.
THIS was Reeder's election, which the
P Pro-slavery party did not recognise as le-
gal, and hence many Of our friends took
no interest in the election, and did not at
tend the polls; while our opponents did all
they could to make respectable show oi
votes. But they have been defeated
Overwhelmingly defeated-and now we
suppose, they will be content to let our
members have their seats, without another
contest or protest" No one, we pre-
sumo, will now be found ready, to swear
that many citizens were deferred from
voting by the conduct of Missourians. -
They must admit that they have been fair
ly beaten, and that for want of voters, they
must give up the contest.
The following is the official vote of the
election:

The correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican, under date of Washington, May
18th, says:
Governor REEDER meets with more favor
at the hands of the Administration than was
anticipated, Col. ]. w, FoRNEY having es-
poused his cause, and you know that Col.
F. Is the power here, behind the throne
greater than the throne itself. / will try
and give you the particulars in few days.

Is it any wonder that Col. Forney should
come to the rescue of Gov. Reeder, when
it is known he is not only related to him, but
actually secured his appointment. If now
in his tribulations he did not stand by and
sustain him, he might be said to be migrate
full.

JAcKsoEv1LLE.-A sale of lots will
take place at Jacksonville. on the last day
of this month, and the first day of June.
It is situated about % miles west Of this
place, ten miles from Alexandria, and is one
of the most eligibly situated inland towns in
the interior of the Territory. 1t is sur
rounded by good timber, and on the town
site, and adjoining it, is an abundance of
fine water. Stone Coal, has been discov-
cred, Of first quality close by. There
is at this time, within five or six miles of
the town large and dense settlement
Business men and spectators, poor men,
and rich men, will find Jacksonville a
good place to invest their means. The
town is going ahead, and is bound to i'm
prove now is the time, and Jacksonville
the place, to make money.
There will be a meeting OF the Stock
holders at Jacksonville on the first day of
the sale. Itis hoped there will be pu1,ctu-
al attendance of all the Stockholders ON
tie day Of sale. B~ Remember the
sale takes place on Thursday and Friday,
the last day of May, and first day Of June.
OUR LEvEE.-Our Levee for the last
week, presented quite city like appear
ance. Every boat lands and puts off more
81 less freight. The Leyee continues
crowded, Notwithstanding the drays, carts
and Wagons, have been hauling the freight
away every day. A. Gilbert s. Co., Rus
cell, Majors s. Co., Livingston, Kinkead
& Co, Salt Lake traders, have had land
ed at our wharf, within the last week,
about one hundred and fifty tons of freight.
This is bound to be great outfitting and
starting point for the Plains.
STARTING POINT FOR THE PLAINS
The advantages Leavenworth possesses as
starting point for the Plains, begin tc
be appreciated and understood. Many oi
the old rraders are making this place theil
Head Quarters for outitting. Drovers
are coming in with their stock of almos
