JOHN WENTwoRrH On WILSON SHAN
NoN.-The Chicago Democrat uses the fol-
lowing language in regard to the newly ap-
pointed Governor of KANSAS: 1t seems
from all the representations of his friends
and enemies, as well as from his antecedents,
that he will be just such Goverror as the
present rulers of Kansas would wish him to
be. Says Wentworth
"Thosc who know Wilson Shannon, know
that he is a Southerner in all his notions
As much 50 as one of the firm of Douglas,
AtchisOn, Stringfellow & Co. He goes to
Kansas to make Kansas Slave State. His
antecedents must be known to Gen. Pierce.

THE LAST Touch OF ScouNDRELisM-
The Infamous mob that are playing at lcgis-
lation for the benefit of Kanzas, at Westport,
have pitt the cap sheaf to thir villainy The
St. Louis Democrat gives Geographic des-
patch, and comments upon it as follows.
"From this it will he seen that the bill
whereby tie Kansas Solons enacted that all
officers in the Territory for the term of six
years ensuing should be filled by the present
Legislature, has become a law, and we are
free to say that more infamous invasion of
the rights of any people, more unwarranted
assumption of power not delegated, was
never perpetrated by any assembly that ever
sat in even revolutionary France: Not con-
tent with legislating themselves into office i'm
violation of the Organic Law of the Terri
tory-not satisfied with denying to the in
lrabitants and citizens of Kansas the cohstittl-
tional rights of free speech and a free press {,
but above all and beyond this, they now
quietly inform the people that they, the Lee
gislature, will now undertake to appoint of
their own free will and accord the sheriffs,
tonstables, attorneys, tax assessors and all
local officers, not for the coming year or
until an election can be held by the citizens,
but for six years from the present time"
We call the attention of the people of
Minnesota to this unparalleled act. To such
an extent are the Slave propaganda going in
that Territory. Atchison, sustained and up
held by the Administration and the South
is thus playing the usurPer and tyrant over
the people. We have never had spectacle
equal to it in unmitigated scctndfensm in
this country. 1t is the fruit of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise.
WHEAr-We have before Dis specimen
of wheat grown by Mr. McHattie on his
farm at Oakfield, in Washington County.
The grains are as plump as could be desired
and give another to the many that have gone
before, that this is as good grain growing
country as any in the Union. MFR. McHattie
is one of the earliest settlers in the Territory,
and one of the ploughs which first broke
the virgin soil in Washington County was
held by him. He has been successful, and
one of the good results of his labors is be-
fore us in the shape of the fine sweet wheat
he has raised.-Pioneer.
We have also had shown us a sample of
this same wheat Our neighbor neglects to
state the important fact that it was piater /
wheat. 1t was raised upon ground which
has been some years in cultivation, but the
yield was very large per acre, and we should
judge that the grain would at least weigh
sixty-fve pounds to the measured bushel.-
A considerable number Of acres of winter
wheat is being planted in this vicinity and
the adjoining counties this Fall. :
