that some remained away from the polls

difficulty by coming in collision with

for want of notice while along the

fearful of causing breach of the peace.
We are confident there are not less than
4, 500 free State voters in the Territory ;
and possibly 1000 pro-slavery voters,
though our impression is that there are
not over eight hundred of the latter.

can occur in printing newspaper. II
we had heavy capital to invest in the

our expenses from week to week. We

Cottonwood Creek.

We are informed by Mr.. ]. II. PHESIs,
of Cottonwood Greek, that the section of
country bearing this name presents fine
opportunity for those in search ofclaims.
Cottonwood Greek is twenty miles south
east of Council Grove, and eight miles
south of the Santa Fe road, at the cross
ing of Forty-Two. Mr. PHENrs has
travelled much over the Territory, and is
fully convinced that this section furnish
es the best timber and bottom land which
can be found. The CeIek furnishes an
abundant supply of the purest water /;
and the very best of well water can be
found at the depth of but thirty Eve feet.
The settlers there, at present, are all from
Indiana-true as steel upon the question
of freedom-and extend to others of
kindred sentiment a most cordial well
come. To those DESTROYS of finding a
good farming localiiy-we say. go to
Cottonwood Greek.
