Town of Atchison.

A day or two since, in looking over our
town, we find that since the breaking up
of winter twenty-five new buildings have
been commenced in Atchison, and all are
rapidly progressing to completion. This is
cheering to US, when we consider the ma
ny false and slanderous reports that have
been put in circulation about our town and
people, by the Abolitionists and others,
who from prejudice and interested motives
have aided them. Since the opening of
navigation, new comers are daily arriving
and purchasing lots, on which to erect
buildings immediately. The President of
the Town company informs US, that within
the last two weeks at least fifty lots have
been sold at advanced prices, the purcha-
sers obligating themselves to improve them
this spring. Thus it will be seen that not
withstanding all the gassing about other
points. and the ISLANDERS circulated about
our town and people, emigrants cannot be
deceived. Where disinterested persons
examine the country, they at once see that
the geographical position of Atchison will
necessarily make it command more trade
than any other point on the Missouri river
IN the Territory.

Respectfully Yours,

LOOK OUT roR rnEM.-The Daily
News of Philadelphia cautions the public
against counterfeit five dollar gold peices
which, ii says are capitally executed. The
News thus describes it: 1T is nearly of
the size, the color and weight of the true
half eagle, but its spurious character can
be detected by ringing it, as it sounds when
thrown down, precisely like lead. On a
very close examination the milling on the
edges appears to be cut to deep. The
piece we saw was dated 1855, and slight
DETECTION from the right position may be
observed in the last figure 5 in the date.

little more than we would like to risk our
veracity on, and as for doing anything to
induce Southern emigrants to stop there, we
won't do it. The Mormons stopped there
one season Cor very near there and more
than half of them are there yet, (under
the sod.) I'VE think they owe it to the
Pro-Slavery party in the Territory to in
duce the Abolition emigration to stop and
camp short time in Salt Creek valley Cat
the mouth of which is their town, and we
should have no more trouble with them 4;
the cholera, ague, &C., would soon wind

the putting up pof brick houses. He is now
engaged in putting up Store House for

completed, will have another large kiln of
brick ready to accommodate the next Gus

that several houses of the same material
will be put up in Atchison the coming sea-

durability, brick buildings are the cheapest
edifices that can be erected in Kansas.

Kickapoo Pioneer.

We are sorry to see the above paper,
that has always done such good service on
the one great question, that of Slavery,
suggest, as it does in the last issue, any
thing to disturb the harmony of the Pro-
Slavery party. In the Pioneer of the 10Th
in an article headed "The First Cum"
our friend Hazard insists +" that there must
be no regard paid to conventions" but that
a ticket must be made, not only in his own
county, but in Atchison, also; expressly
upon one issue, and that having no con-
nsetlon with the great issue made between
the Abolitionists and Pro- Slavery party !;
but upon the single issue Of making new
county with Kickapoo for the county seat.
We do not believe for one moment, that
any true Pro-Slavery man in Atchison
county will endorse any such move, and
it is very late for the Pioneer to commence
an attack upon the Legislature. In this
county there will be but the one issue; the
old one; and we will have our hands full TO
beat the Abolitionists. if we are all united.
A man who would, for any selfish consid-
Grafton, raise any other issue at this time.
is not the man for the Pro-Slavery party to
rely upon. We hope and believe the Pio-
neer will see its error, and until we put our
last enemy down, ''Know Nothing" but
Free Negroes VS. Slaves.

Our Platform

This being the era of platforms. the eff
cacy of which none dare dispute, ''a decent
respect for the prevailing mania impels
US to submit ours, which we guarantee will
be large enough to hold one half of the
Union entire, and large portion, (the
States Rights portion) Of the other haif.-
Like all the other platforms of the day,
ours is made up of preamble and resolu-
tions. Here it is:
WHEREAS, The Pro-Slavery party in
the Union is much larger numerically than
the Abolition or Free Negro party; and
whereas, the Pro-Slavery party is more
patriotic and Union loving than the Free
Negro party; and whereas, the Pro-Slavery
party have contributed more of blood and
treasure than the Free Negro party, to the
acquisition of the Territories; and where
as. the extension of the limits OF Slavery
conduces to the welfare of both the slave
and his master, without detractiDg from the
interest of any other person whatever; and
whereas, the Free Negro party have
shown such a fierce determination to ad-
vance their own party interests, though the
"Union should slide;'' and whereas. the
resultMfes avery election in Kansas Terrific
ry bts, and arastratr arshe superiority (nu-
mericafe, Ind otherwise) of the Pro-Sla-
very over the Free Negro party; and
whereas, just equilibrium between the
two sections of the Union would prevent
anything like dissolution of it, and is
therefore greatly to be desired therefore,
Resolved:
/. That the South should and will send
men enough TO Kansas to keep that ascen-
dency which we now have, particularly as
she has something more at stake than a
mere abstraction, her very existence de-
pending on the issue.
2. That so soon as we have the requis-
ite population, we will form Constitution
recognizing Slavery, (if we are to Judge of
the future by the past) and demand ad-
mission as a sovereign State, into the
Union.
3. That when we thus ask admission,
should We be refused unless we consent to
some degrading qualifications, we will nc
longer desire to remain in Union where
our equality is not recognized.
4. That we recognize in President
Pierce the same fearless, honest, patriotic
and enlightened statesman, for whom we
thought we were casting our vote in 1852.

enormous size in Kansas. They are fed in
stables in high troughs like horses. When
this IS neglected, they are apt to starve to
death, as they grow SO high that it is utter

ground. The growing of these enormous
fowls resembles the noise of distant thun-
