mile below the junction of the Smoky Hill and
Republican Forks, and scarcely that distance

to New Mexico, Utah, and California, and Ore
goI, and consequently presents unusual advanta-
ges to emigrants setting out for the far west.
The valleys of the Smoky Hill and Republi-
can and those Of their branches, are extensive.
well wooded, and possessed of an exceedingly
fertile soil. Numerous settlements are already
being made upon them and they bid fair to be-
come in a short time, the center of dense popu-
lation. In the immediate vicinity of Pawnee.
are to be found most of the useful minerals
Tin, Chalk, Salt, Gypsum, Slate, Iron and lime
stone, (the latter the best building stone in the
Territory have been found and Coalis believed
to exist.
The travel connected with these varied inter-
ests and those of the General Government, will
mostly pass through Pawnee, which must be-
come the Depot and trading Post for them.
These considerations and that of the extern
sive settlements certain to be made to the West,
and the impossibility for some years, of settle
ments being made upon the large Indian Reser-
vatlons to the East, render this the most suita-
dedication for the PERMANENT SEAT OF Gov
EMINENT OF Kansas, and will doubtless secure
its eventual establishment here.

The Late Election and the Prohibi.
tory Law.

We see, In many OF our exchanges,
remarks to the effect that the late cleo
ton in this State. is a verdict against
the Plohibitory law. This opinion is
by papers Of both parties,
yet we see no cause to come to such a
conclusion. The election OF last month
settles nothing except who shall be
county officers the ensuing term. In
but few counties was there any think
like full vote, or drawing Of party
lines. Every body that is posted,
knows this to be the fact. And wher-
ever the lines were drawn the issue
was not the prohibitcry law so much
as /. was whether the people would
sustain the Know Nothing party. In
stead Of being a verdict against prohi-
bi,ion. 1t was verdict against the
demagogucs who desired to ride into
Office on the popular idea Of American
ism. Had the opponents OF old line
ism met in open convention and nomi'
mated men Of the platform Of the 18Th
Of July. and then had the Offices beer
Of sufficient importance to induce the
sober and industrious portion to turn
out, the result would have spoken wei
for Republicanism, Americanism and
Prohibition. So far as we know, ths
friends Of prohibition made no efior
in the late election, TO sustain the Law
by electing merely local officers. The!
are candid and honest men generally
and prefer to test the value Of the Law
by actual experiment. At presen
they are content to witness its practlc
al workings. If it is obnoxious to tn
objections urged against It befor
its passage. without compromising ben
efits. they. as honest men, will eithe
abandon it or modify it. They hav
no party to build up or keep up, an
hence they are not found rallying I
the support Of party when nothing
to be gained thereby. We predic
however. that il party arises mel
year that viii oppose prohibition. tn
friends Of the measure viii be

those who now think them dead.
