ParkyiIle Luminary.

In the second number of oln paper, we
gave the Editor of the above paper some
very modest hints, In friendly way intend
ed only for the benefit of the man; and he
most ungenerously Eliminates that We are
disposed to be abusive. Having heard
threats made that coat of Tar and Feath-
ers was prepared for him, as brother Ed
itor we felt bound to apprise him of il; and
fearing that his proclivities were Abolition,
we thought charge on him, might have
the effect of driving him to the support of
I the institutions of Missouri. 1t seems
however our kindness has all been thrown
away, as he very naively admits being a
Free-Soiler. He quotes our Prospectus In
which we say, referring to the discussion
of the Slavery question, with Free-Seil-
lers. ssWe admit that good men may differ
with us, hence in our discussion of the sub
ject we shall not resort to invective or
abuse" After quoting the above he quotes
our remarks about himself as commenta-
~ upon the professions made in the Pros
pectus, thereby acknowledging himself to
be a Free-Soiler OF Abolitionist. We
never doubted thefact, but did not think
he would admit it.
Friend Parks discovers too that we are
disposed to curry favor with the Mormens.
He ought not to have stolen old friend Gal
| loways thunder. We hope that he and
Parks have not fraternised; if such be the
case, we fear the Sovereign" must be
rubbed out to use Squatters saying
We would say just here if either Of the
gentlemen doubt our principles, and feel
like controverting them, we will very cheer
fully give them chance through our col
umns. The Editor further says, that sit is
to be inferred that the Editors of the Sow
lereign, differ with Gen. Cass, Judge
Douglass, Senator Atchison, and the Rich
mond Va. Enquirer" Whenever we find
that the Luminary, is the mouth piece OF
the Gentlemen or Press above referred to-
or can fairly present their opinions, or the
gentlemen themselves show US, in any way
that our opinion differs with theirs, we
shall notice that portion of his strictures.-
We will not do them so much injustice, as
to think for a moment that the Luminary
could assent to, or support any opinion held
by them; he has too much "wool in his
teeth"

Capital of Kansas Territory.

We leared a few days since, that Con-
gress had put quietus upon Gov. Reeder's
speclllations on the location of the Capital,
by passing bill placing that power di-
rectly in the Legislature. We never
could find in the bill, any authority in the
Governor to locate it; but others did, and
he was sharp enough to speculate on their
assumptions.
On this subject, we think the temporary
location should be in what will be for three
years the centre of population believing
that by the end of that time we shall be
entitled to State Government, and will
then when necessity requires, place the
seat of Government where it will be reed
ed. We are not now prepared to say, that
Atchison is not nearer the desired point
and the most eligible situation for the
temporary seat of Government that can be
found.

Mail Route to California.

1t seems to be well ascertained that a
mail route across the plains. will have TO
be established In very short time; proba-
bly, bill has, OF will be passed for It, by
the present Congress Such being the
fact, the company getting the contract,
would of course desire to start from the
most westerly point on the frontier of the
States. Look at map of the Platte
Country, as surveyed by Applegate; and
Atchison at once strikes the eye, as the
point desired, If the roads sOiN admit Of
travei. We unhesitatingly assert that
from this point to the junction with the
great California road, leading west from
the head of independence creek; as fine a
road leads out, as can be found in the world.
No place where any grading will have to
be done, beautiful dividing ridge all the
way.
On the Missouri side opposite our town,
is the largest bottom of the finest land In
the world; where corn and grain OF every
kind can be purchased in any quantity, and
at lower prices than almost anywhere in
the State. We would advise the company
who may get the contract, not to select the
starting point for their route, until they
have examined the advantages offered by
this point.

Abolitionist in Kansas.

The Abolitionists in this Territory with
Gov. A. III. Reedcr at their head, will
make desperate efforts to carry the election
for members of the Legislature, and un-
less the true men everywhere in the Terri
tory turn out to man, they may succeed
in electing considerable portion Of the
delegation; enough at least, to produce
much angry discussion, and prevent legis-
lation by that body.
1t is very important that the first Legis-
lature should be ualii. There will be an
immense amount Of work to be done, and
no time should be lost in idle debate. Our
entire code of laws must be made, which
covers vast field; embracing the forma-
ton of counties, the providing for the early
election of the various county officers, locat-
ing Seat of Government, and thousand
other measures which will take much time
and labor to accomplish. Then let every
good man turn out, elect sound practical
men to office, and we will 60 on prosper.
ously to our high destiny.

Election of Territorial Legislators.


We learn that his Free-Soii Excellency
has been brought up all standing by the
powers at Washington, and that he viii not
dare delay the election longer than 23d
March. All the citizens of Kansas, and
all who intend to become citizens should
get into our Territory BY the 18th, as the
election may come off by that time. We
are informed that the tools appointed by
the Governor, to take the Census, report a
large majority of Free-Soilers in the Ter
ritory. This we know to be false; yet the
Governor may attempt to order the election
as he ordered the census, without giving
any notice; thereby cutting off a large vote.

The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday

SIN the Police court, yesterday, a color
ed man named John Stewart, WIS arraign-
ed on charge of stealing a quantity of
clothing from an elderly colored woman.

The Census Returns.

Gov Reeder has made a gallant fight
for his Free-Soil and Abolition friends at
the North, but the odds were too great for
him, and he falls covered with-nigger
wool. From the commencement. of the race
for delegate, we had predictions that Mis-
souri, would send voters over here to con-
troll our Elections. After the result was
known, letter after letter was written North.

We're polled, not belonging to the Terrific
ry. Notwithstanding the fact, that the
Governors tools tried to confirm those
statements, by emitting in their returns all
they could; still the lie stared them in the
face, and the number of actual resident
Uoters even in the dead Of winter; remains
greater than the number polled last fall at
the Election. We must be prepared to
hear the same cry raised again, after our
approaching election. The Governor nc
doubt had this thing in view, when order
ing the Census to be taken without giving
any notice to the Squatters, as was done
in Nebraska. Our vote, owing to the man.
ner in which the census was taken viii

EDIToR SauATrER SOVEREIGN:
/ Dear Sir: I desire to make a few come
ments on the following production:
Platte Connty Mo.
Feb. the 18th 1855.
Gentleman,
In reply to your propositio-
n am psoslavery In principle and IN
terest and antimauman from A to and will
not support any press that fayours mau-
manism as they are the most corrupt aboli-
tionists and who invariably like the negroes
better than the white race.
GEORGE GALLOWAY.
Mr.. G. asserts that he is pro-slavery in
principle, and anti-mormon from to e.
Thus he endeavors to saddle upon the peo-
pie of that persuasion in Utah Territory,
the stigma of abolitionism. In reply I
would say, that am citizen of Utah
Territory, and have read the law of said
Territory carefully; being engaged in the
pAdCtiOC VI law III Tic COuitS iitIC-aliu
do say most positively that the assertion of
Mr. G. is false.
The ia,o Of Utah Territory recognizes
slavery IN ats fullest sense! The Nor
mons hold it as part of their religion
that slavery should exist. The census re-
ports of 1850, show that at that time there
was over score of slaves Ia Utah, and
last season Mr. Camp and Judge Denis OF
Mississippi, took slaves to that territory
These facts are plain; they are before the
people, and they are facts that men who
have sat In the seats of Judges should be
acquainted with. If they are not, they
are facts that stare men in the face, and
furthermore they are facts that challenge
Judge Galloway or any other 'santimau-
man. to controvert. In conclusion would
| say, that the gentleman made his state
ment either upon facts in his possession, Oh
else he made them without proof of the
| truth of what he said. If so, let them
come forth; if not let him at once admit
that he was either profoundly ignorant, ol
wilfully wicked in writing what appears
above. Hopeing that Judge G. will Learn
wisdom by what he suffers in his old age
| Remain Yours, AIRY.
