rine saddIery, Harness, &c.

1t has not been a great time since gentle
men of this city and region, when they
wanted ANYTHING very neat in the way of
saddle or harness, sent to some distant city,
to supply their wants. There was not de-
mand enough here to keep fancy workmen It
high wages, for the purpose of securing such
custom. Bot times have changed in this as
in other things. We venture the assertion
that Just as fine saddle, bride, or set oil
harness can be made in this city, and is now
being made, as can be bought in Cincinnati
and probably at lower prices than the same
quality of articles can be purchased there.
Mr.. ]. P. E llUtt has now the best workmen
engaged, and is making harness probably q
little too elegant to suit the stock and We
hicles of our city! We would call the par
ticular attention of those wishing tine
harness, to several setts as samples now in
Mr.. Elliott's store. They are of very line
workmanship, made of the best material, and
not to be excelled by anything made in the
larger cities. Our friends at Henderson,
N. Harmony, &C., who occasionally make q
little display in "turn-outs," will we hope
give this establishment call before sending
abroad for neat harness. DIR. Elliot has also
beer making some very handsome saddles
lately, which have attracted the attention oil
those having taste in such workmanship
We have been assured by better judges
than ourselves, that the saddles being made
at this house, are of very extra quality, and
are sold cheaper than the same can be bought
at the larger cities. Mr.. Cunningham, the
foreman Of this establishment, is one of the
best workmen in the West, and gives his
personal attention to Ill the fine work exc.
cuted in the shop. We need not say, tha
all the commoner qualities of work can be
bought at Mr. Elliott's, and at low prices.

" In the Supreme Court, in the case OF
Bell ct al VS.. Longworth, the decision of the
late court here, adverse to plaintiff, was af-
frmed We have heard from private
source that part of the decision in favor of
the defendant was affirmed, and that for the
plaintiffs reversed. The decision in the case
of Laughlin ct al VS.. Lamasco city, was re-
versed. These are the only cases from Van
derburgh, which have thus far been reached
in the Supreme Court.

OEMayor Wood of New York city, has
occasionally applications for the remedy of
queer difficulties. A woman of ninety three
lately complained that she was too old TO
make her living by herself, and thought she
was entitled to pension for her age, but
she would be satisfied with being sent home
to her friends in Hanover county, Va. But
the following is perhaps the most original
communication that has been entered on the
"Complant Book"
Dear Mr.. 1fayor:-Maria, who lives in
Catharine, near front street, takes SO
long to curl her hair in the evening, that her
bedellow (myselO is kept awake nearly half
the night. do not know whether she gets
up in the night to look at her curs or not,
but do know that she deprives me of my
sleep. If you will attend to this before
warm weather sets in, will be much obliged
and even thankful to you.
Yours, affectionately, LOUISA.

To LOT LOVING, ESQ,
Sheriff Of Clay County:
The extraordinary state Of things existing
in Clay county, and the unlawful proceed
ings attending the destruction of the Birch
Creek Reservoir, and other works apperrain-
ing thereto, and the outrages OF individual
citlzens, demands from this Department a
thorough and prompt interference, as it chal-
lenges the attention Of yourself and other
officers charged with the eservation of the
public peace.
l need hardly say to you, or to any other
right minded citizen OF Clay county, that the
oulrages to which | refer cannot be toler-
ated without utter disgrace to the State and
to your immediate community. If YOU do
not sympathise in these sentiments, T have
mistaken your character.
| have intrusted to my military aids, Gene
raj Dodd, and Col. Nees of Clay, this letter,
and they will confer with you on the subject
matter OF the late outrages, and adopt such
measures, in conjunction with yourself, as
will effectually repress the outlawry SO dis
graceful to US as a people.
There is and can be, no middle ground in
this matter. The laws must be preserved at
all hazards. and the persons and property OF

The Law and Order Convention.

According to previous notice, very
large assemblage, delegates of the various
counties, met in Leavenworth, on the l4th
inst The convention was organized by
calling Gen. Richardson, of Doniphan. to
the Chair, and DR.. Stringfellow, of Atchi
son, to act as Secretary. A committee
was appointed to select officers for the con-
vention, who reported at the afternoon ses-
sion. Gov. Shannon was unanimously
selected as President. Upon being intro
dueed, he addressed the meeting for more
than an hour in very able and earnest
manner. and to the entire satisfaction OF
all present. His address satisfied all that
he was an able, liberal, devoted patriot;
States Rights to..the back bone. We shall
not do him the injustice of attempting even
a synopsis Of his admirable effort.
After he was through, a committee was
appointed to prepare resolutions expressive
Of the views and feelings Of the conven-
tion. They will be found in another col
unn, and we are satisfied that no true
patriot will hesitate to endorse every senti-
ment in the whole of them.
The convention then adjourned till after
supper.
When they reassembled, the resolutions
were read, and before being submitted,
Surveyor General Calhoun addressed the
convention in their favor, and for two hours
he held the vast assemblage spell-tound,
except when an involuntary burst Of ap-
plause would be heard.
His speech was the most scathing and
terribly crushing expose Of Reeder and
his Topeka confederate Traitors, that we
ever heard He. showed that the whole
thing erigininated in Massachusetts, and
was move of the Abolitionists, 10 have
its influence in the next Presidential race.
He denounced Abolitionism and Free
Soilism ia more unmeasured terms than
we have ever heard it. from the fact, we
suppose, that he has lived amongst them
and knows them.)
When he finished, so universal was tie
satisfaction, that no one else could be in
duced to speak.
A committee was then appointed to pre-
pare an address to the people of Kansas
and the Union. setting forth the true state
of affairs here. Gen. Calhoun is chair
man of the committee.
Everything passed off pleasantly and
tremendously, and we are sure that good
will follow. as the sensible portion of the
Free-Soilers, who are not fanatics, will
feel that it is utter FOLLY and madness to
pursue their opposition further, except In
a lawful manner.

Things We Have Never Seen.

We have never seen it fail, that when
a merchant advertised literally in the
"Squatter Sovereign" that his business
did not greatly increase.
We have never seen man fail IN bust
ness, who literally patronized and paid
the printer.
We have never seen Jealous professed
Abolitionist, who was hot an intolerable
bigot. Having such supreme regard for
the slave, they have nothing but wormwood
for all who differ from them in any de-
gree. s,o
We have never seen free trader, who
did not think that the government. should
protect his particular interest -,
We have never seen a third party in
politics which was not ready to sell out to
the highest bidder. sr.5
We have never seen politician who
was perpetually pleading conscience, who
was not an impractieable Ounce, or an arch
intriguer.
We have never. seen one who con-
demned expediencyin all cases, that would
not adopt any expedient to promote his
own ends.
We have never seen public man who
protested great love for the people, who
would not betray their interest when occa-
sion should require.
We have never seen. a: 'politician who
left his own party for TIE sake of promo
ton, who was not despised by all parties.
We have never seen man who labored
to form new party, who did not expect
to be placed at It's head. .a...,
We have never seen a politician who
was perpetually crying out ''arlstocracy,"
who was not himself thorough aristocrat,
in the circle in which he moved. -.,...
We have never seen clergyman who
preached politics on the Lords Day, who
promoted his own interests, the peace of
the parish, or the success of the party he
attempted to sustain. 49,,
We have never, seen protested Pro-
Slavery Journal justify the course of the
Free-Soilers of Kansas, whose Editor was
not in heart an Abolitionist. BED. T..
We have never seen one article publish
ed in the St. Louis Intelligencer, and 9TH
er papers of like stamp, that would tend
to promote the interest of the Pro-Siavery
Party in Kansas. On the other hand, we
have seen "aid and comfort" extended to
our enemies, our motives iinpugned, our
acts misrepresented, and our leaders
abused. -
We do not say that these things did not
occur but we can truly say that we have
not seen them, and if they did frequently
occur, we sqould probably have met with
| them now and then. - r. .-.ss5.

Kansas for FIR ee6om.

The vote of Gov. Reeder at the Free
State Election on the 9th inst will doubt
less far exceed that for Whitfield on the
lst And the former was cast entirely by
bona fide residents Of Kansas, while more
than half the votes for Whitfield at his
went over for that express purpose. In
fact, two-thirds of Whitfield's entire vote
was polled in the settlements along the
Missouri border; back from this, there is
substantially no Pro-Slavery party in the
Territory. The fraudulent voting, the i'm
posed Legislature and the tyr; nical laws
of the Missouri invaders, have united the
settlers upon Reeder, and in an earnest
desire to be promptly admitted into the
Union as q Free State. Such is the SUBJ
stance of many letters and other advices
from the Territory. Kansas can only be
dragooned into submission to slavery by
the recognition at Washington of the Mis-
sourian's bowie-knife assemblage as TO-
ma fide Kansas Legislature, and the con-
sequent enforcement of its acts as binding
laws of Kansas. Should this be done
either directly or through the recognition
of Whitfield as Delegate, Kansas becomes
a conquest of the slaveholders-a mere
arpendage Of Western Missouri. Her
gallant pioneers can defy their overbearing
neighbors, but they cannot measure swords
with the Federal Government. Let the
power of Congress and the President be
thrown into the scale of Slavery, and the
settlers must succumb. All that remains
to be done is to bring public opinion to bear
on Congress, so as to insure the reception
of Reeder as Delegate and the admission
of Kansas as State under the Free Con-
s,iiution which will speedily be framed
and adopted. Let New York nd Mas
sachusetts speak decisively and unmista-
kably their demand that all legal and for
eign impedinlents to the admission of Free
Kansas shall be swept away. and we shall
have her fairly in the Union and ready to
cast her vote for Republican President

10 our Southern Exchanges.

Our Southern Exchanges would confer
a great favor on us, and at the same time
be promoting the cause of the pro-slavery
party in Kansas if they would call atten-
ton to our paper, and give the terms, and
its place of publication. We know Of no
better method of inducing emigrants to
Kansas, than by sending them journal
from which they can gather true state
ment of the Agricultural and other resour-
ces of our Territory. We receive letters
by every mail from the South, asking our
terms, and feel confident, were they known
we would have an extended circulation
throughout that section of the country.

notice our papers
