ca We have before us an able and yery in
teresting communication from the pen of Geo.
w. Perkins Esq, of this city, giving an account
of his trip out to Pawnee, with certain members
of our Legislature. It would afford us much
pleasure to publish it, but the crowded state of
our columns will not permit US to do SO. Mr..
Perkins speaks Of our Legislature in compli-
mentary manner, and describes the country be-
tween here and Pawnee as one of unsurpassed, if
not unequaled, beauty. He is pleasant and
graphic writer, and we shall always be pleased
to receive contributions from his able pen.

FIRST PAGE.-For Reeder's veto message ;
memorial of our Legislature to the President,
praying for the removal OF Reeder, (who is al
ready decapitated,) and an interesting letter
describing the town of Tecumseh, the reader

Bsg@On our first page will be found a
very able and interesting letter, giving a
full description of the beautiful and thriving
town of Tecumseh, its natural advantages,
surrounding country &c., Sc. It's an able
and exceedingly descriptive communication,
and will well repay a careful and attentive
perusal. Tecumseh is one of the most i'm
portant inland towns in the Territory, and
will, no doubt, from its csntrality, become
the capital of this Territory.

The glorious and long wished for intel
ligence of the removal of Resder from
office has just reached US. It is stated by
communications which have been received
here that Reeder has been expelled from
the Gubernatorial Chair of this Territory,
and that Hon. Jno. L. Dawson, of Pennsyl-
yania, has been appointed as his successor.
We rejoice to hear of the removal of the
Infamous and corrupt Reeder, but we regret
that the President should have again per-
sisted in his strange inconsistencies by ap-
pointing No1thern man-and Pennsyl-
yanian at that-as Governor of this Terri
tory. He should have appointed South.
ern or Western man-one acquainted with
the characteristics, interests, and wants of
our people. Although we do not exactly
like the idea of a Pennsylvanian being ap-
pointed to succeed Pennsylvania we will
refrain from comment until we see If our
new Governor will'pursue the same unpop-
ular, obstinate and perverse course of his
Predecessor. In the mean time we would
bespeak for the Hon. Jno. l.. Dawson a
cordial welcome to our Territory.

OUR CALIFORNIA CORRESPONDENCE

OUR CAL1FORN1A CORRESPONDENCE
Some months since we promised the
readers Of the Herald to introduce, as
new feature to our columns, California
Correspondence. 1t now affords us the
most unalloyed satisfaction to lay before
them the first letter of our correspondent,
who assures US he will not fail in future to
present to the many readers of the Herald
d seml-monthly melange of all the notable
events that transpire in the Pacific State
Our correspondent is an able and vigorous
writer, and is Editor of one Of the leading
public journals of San Francisco. Read
his letter which will be found In another
column over the nom de plume of

SUBL1M1rY OF IMrUDENcE.-Our CO.
temporary of the Register is becoming
very presumptuous and egotistical. Just
hear how arrogantly he talks in speaking
Of the resolutions Of the Lexington Con-
vention.
"Their resolutions are simply a stero-
type of our code laid down in the first
number of the Register
Come Mr.. Delahay, do not give to your
self, or your Register, credit for move
ment In which you were in no way inter-
ested; neither of you are entitled to it.
To say that the resolutions of the Conven-
ton are simply stereotype of your code (2)
is an assertion SO ludicrously absurd and
ridiculous that it can only excite disgust
and contempt for your supreme egotism.
Why is it that some people will have such
barefaced assurance
Kansas weekly herald., 1855-08-04

Is he DEMOCRAT or WH1e ?-The
editor of the Register-the great and
self-important" National Anti-Bogus Dem
ocrat' of Kansas-professes the most
profound ignorance of our politics, and in
quires if ne are Democrat OF Whig.
To ask the Editor of a Democratic Jour
nal if he is Democrat OR Wing, to say the
least of it, is foolish and impertinen mt
question. We might with just as much
propriety ask Horace Greely if he is pro,
or anti slavery. Surely Mr. Delahay must
have been in stupor when he propounded
so puerlle and ridiculous a question. AL
though we are, and have ever been-from
sentiment and conviction-a warm and
faithful advocate of Democracy, We repu-
diate the immediate, organization of a
Democratic party in this Territory-as
proposed by Mr.. Delahay-as premature,
unwise, and uncaIled for. We look upon
the subject of slavery as paramount to all
other questions in this Territory, and shall
never permit, so far as in US lies, Temporal
ry and inferior questions, raised by self
seeking politicians for the purpose of gain
ing their ignoble purposes, to blind and
distract the attention of the Pro-slavery
party of this Territory from the great par
amount question upon which the fate OF
KanSas-aye, of the whole South--is sus-
pended.

Mr.. EDITo1:

Sir-Having heard assertions made
by certain gentlemen, that the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglas (the father of the Nebraska and Kan
sas Bill) had written them letters, or that they
had assurances that Douglas noto regretted vo-
ting and advocating the principles of that Bill,
and that he was now in favor of re-enacting the
Missouri Compromise, &c, &c.
Now, sir, am authorized to give the authors
of that malignant falsehood, that rebuke that
ought to be branded by a jury-that of assun.-
tioas liars; and that for every such letter or as
surance under the hand OF S. A. Douglas. will
pay literally.
Claiming my nativity from the State that so
illustrious Senator halls from, trust will be
sufficient excuse,sfor this card.

those of Indian and pioneer life in this country In these
three classes he has had troops of imatOr but equal

scarcely less savage settlers, all equally acknowledge his
dominion. Within this circle dares walk but he"
VICToR HUG0 the greatest of cotemporary and
