reliable, owing to the many who are ready to en-
gage in it. Preachers who design to itnerate,
better get transfer to Wisconsin or the Iowa

all taken as far as explores have gone. Steam
answers every purpose, and is very extensively

Latest from Kansas.

The news from Kansas indicates a speedy ter
mination of the troubles in that Territory. Col.
Sumner, with his command of United States
troops, Is driving the border rufians' from the
Territory, and compelling the Free State s. ruff
fans" to cease their reasonable designs. Pion-

CO The Pioneer is feeling too strongly the
force of public opinion, and is moderating its
views on the Kansas question. Why did MT you
say that the Free State men villains, and that
Col. Sumner ought to be hung for interfering
with the glorious Mssourians? Is the fire lit
tie too hot? A paper, Qike the Pisneer,) that
will justify the acts of the " border rufians,' is
not 6t to be taken into respectable society.

The Levee Improve me mt.

The Minnesotian, speaking of the bids of Smith
and Nash on the Levee Improvement, says -
"But let Aldermen beware how they attempt
to feed q brood of starving cormorants ut the
cty's expense. 1t is not desire to promote the
cty's welfare, that makes Emerson, Smith Co.,
so anxious to grasp the $50, 900, which it is pro-
posed to borrow TO improve the Levee. Let them
once get hold of that amount, and the basis of a
debt of at lea st half million, is at once lad''
We must confess that We cannot comprehend
what the Minnesotan is driving at MIR. Smith
has made his bid, detailing at length what he
will do the job for, and MIR. Nash has done the
same. Both propositions have been published,
and We ind MIR. Smith will do the work some 81,
900 cheaper than Mr. Nash, which is so much
saved to the Taxpayers of this city. Now if Mr..
Smiths bid is accepted by the city, and he is OBJ
ligated to perform the work, and does perform it,
let Us inquire if it will not be cheaper than if
Mr.. Nash's bid is accepted? If it will not,
wherein is the discrepancy? Suppose MIR. Smith
fails to do his work. does he not forfeit his bonds
And if MIR. Nash's bid had been accepted, would
it not have been the same with him /? If Messrs.
Emerson and Smith can take advantage of the
city and lay ''basis of = debt of half mill
lion," why can't Mr.. Nash and his particular
friends? Let US know how Aldermen expect to
&c feed a brood of starving cormorants at the
cty's expense" and then we will take hold with
the Minnesotian and do our best to rip up the
matter, but until then, feel constrained to be-
lieve that Mr.. Smith is the lowest bidder and
should he awarded the contract. Until something
more tangible than We have already seen appears,
We shall maintain this opinion.

SPEECH OF COL. FREMONT MUCH
ENTHUSIASM.


a ratification meeting was held in New York
city on the 26,h. After tho adjournment the
meeting formed into a procession and marched
up Broadway, to tho residence Of Col. Fremont,
and were addressed by him as follows:
81 thank you for this friendly call, and am
happy to receive this enthusiastic reception as an
expression of your adoption of the cause in which
We are engaged. The enthusiasm you have
manifested, and the seriousness OF the cause to
which it is directed, gives me great confidence in
your final and complete success. lf ain elected
to tho high oi,e fo ',ich your partiality has
nominated me, will endeavor to administer the
government according to the tru, spirit of the
Constitution, rs it was understood BY the great
men who framed and adopted it, and in such a
way as to preserve both Liberty and the Union.
s'In my present relations to you, it is hardly
proper should say any more tonight, especially
as you will hereafter expect me to communicate
with you moro fully, and therefore content my
self by again thanking you very warmly for
your congratulations and kindness you have
manifested towards me.''

Mr.. f. then retired with repeated and enthusi
astic applause.
Judge Emmett, in answer to repeated calls,
appeared oathe balcony AM assured til, people
that with their noble leader and with the pure
principles of their platform, their success at the
next election was certain. In the name Of Mrs.
Fremont he wished to return her sincere thanks

COMMON COUNCIL.-The attention OF the Com
mon Council on Thursday evening last, was
mostly taken up with the Report of c. l..
Emerson: Esq, who reviews the propositions of
A. e. Smith AID Patrick Nash, bidders for the
contemplated Levcs improvements. The total
cost, as laid down by Mr. Smith, is $3l ,O4i ,96.
That by Nash, $3S. 1922; making a saving to
the taxpayers of 1896.
Mr.. Emerson makes the matter very plain to
our mind, that Mr.. Smith is the lowest bidder
and should by all means be awarded tho con-
tract, and We can see no good reasons why the
work should be postponed, unless the enemies Of
the improvement, who have interests in another
section of the city, are determined that it shall
not 90 forward. The day has gone by when csr
tain capitalists can control tho interests Of the
people, and the game now being played by them
might as we'll be abandoned as once-H won't
,cin. James A. Case, the City Engineer, says:
"Mr. Smiths proposition is the most favor
able for the city, and most earnestly hope that
if either are accepted that it will be his"
We agree with Mr.. Case, and We ask again
Why this opposition? We may be compelled to
tell the public, and we shall do so unless the op-
poscrs of Mr.. Smiths bid bring forward some
more tangible objections than have already
appeared. The public need the improvement,
and it is necessary that it should be commenced
at once. Shall few interested parties block the
way?
Mr.. Emerson concludes his report as follows:
"In conclusion, the undersigned would say
that he has endeavored, in this report, with the
assistance of the City Engineer, to give full
and impartial statement of the matter. 1t 10 an
important work, imperativcly called for by the
increasing business upon our river front, and
when finished will adj wealth and Importance to
our city. No one should allow any selfish or
local feeling to influence him against an improve
ment which will benefit the property Of every
man in the city, no matter where that property
may be situated. The undersigned would car
nestly urge upon the Council the necessity of the
work. Much time has already been lost, and
unless i: be commenced soon We shall derive no
advantage from it for the spring business of
1857"

COL. FREMONT.

The New York Tribune says of Col. Fremont: !:
Having exhibited a singular force of character
and distinguished ability in every undertaking
in which he has applied himself, he has now been
called by the loud voice of his felow-citizeus in
almost all parts of the Union to place himself at
the head of a new, more difficult, but at the same
time most glorious enterprise-that of rescuing
the government and the Union from the hands of
body of unprincipled politicians, who threaten
to subject the country to the double misery of
despotism and anarchy. May he be as successful
in this in everything else he has undertaken %

MARX THE PREDIcrIoN The Chicago Tribune
says that New England will give for Freedom

will clap another 100000 on the top of them.
This looks rather large but We are inclined t.
believe the prediction will come true.

KANSAS MATTERs.-The telegraph brings US
information that Col. Sumner, a relative of Sen

come into the Territory of Kansas armed, unless
over his dead body, not even Gen. Lane. Hehad
driven Major Buford, Gen. Jones, and Col. Sell
by, out of the Territory, and was determined to
restore order and peace at all hazard. Nearly
all the principal thoroughfares were blockaded
by his orders. Had similar determined course
been pursued at the outset of the difficulties,

condemning those who are in the wrong and up
holding those who are in right. With this view
OF the matter, we trust he will be entirely sue
cessful in his present movement.

a MISTAKEN IDEA Some of our we'll meaning
German and Irish friends, entertain the idea,
that because the Northern Know Nothings drop
ped Banks and took up Fremont, that, therefore,
he (Fremont) is . Know Nothing! This is a
very great mistake. Mr.. Fremont 10 not Know
Nothing, and has no sympathy with them. 1t
should be remembered that the great Know
Nothing party some time since, split the
Southern portion going for Fillmore (pro- slavery
and the Northern portion seeding. When the
Convention of the Northern Know Nothings was
held, the object of the members was to unite on
a man who was in favor of Freedom. They
chose Banks, but he declining, and Fremont be-
ing nominated by the Republican Convention,
they waived their Know Nothing proclivities and
were willing to meet on one issue, only-no fur
her extension Of Slavery, thus showing by the
course they have pursued, that they love Freedom
better than their opposition to Foreigners. They
buried for this campaign at least, their Know
Nothing sentiments, and say as plainly as actions
can say-"Now friends Germans, Irish, Amer
leans, any and every lover of Freodom-come
together, and let us be united in keeping our
Territories free from the curse of Slavcry.''-
Know Nothingism does not enter into the canvas,
is not Incorporated into the Republican platform,
has nothing to do with the Republican candi-
dates. Those of our foreign born citizens, there
fore: who get their backs up and vote for Mr..
Buchanan instead of fremont, because he was
taken up by the Northern Know Nothings, will
only show their inconsistency. The latter is in
favor of the laboring man and liberty-the for
mer an enemy of both. The latter is no Know
Nothing-the former is any and everything to
secure the votes Of the unsusnectinp

COL. FREMONT.

Politically Fremont is gaining ground every
day. The manner he was received in New York,
(an account Of which we give in another column, J
is clearly indicative Of what the Empire State
will do for him. Throughout the East, the North
and West all classes and conditions of men are
enthusiastically in his favor. Col. Fremont is a
young man, directly from the ranks of the Peo-
pie. He loves liberty, loves the mountain air,
loves the bold adventurer and the hardy Western
Pioneer. lie hates Slavery ;--is liberal in his
views and is desirous Of advancing the greatness
and glory of our common country. Early in life
he became enamored of daughter of Col. Ben
ton, and the old gentleman refusing to give his
consent to their union, he ran away with her and
was married. Shortly after, when a reconcilia-
tion was brought about, Benton prophesied that
Fremont would one day be the President of the
United States, and that prophecy is quite likely
to come true. On almost every train of cars, or
boat, when the vote is taken, Fremont is ahead.
A recent vote was taken on train fl ON Chicago
to Rockford, with the following result Fro
mont SO, Buchanan l8, Fillmore 2. In the Fre-
mont vote 2l States were represented-in the
Buchanan vote II. The Fillmore votes were
both from Kentucky. We feel almost certain
that Fremont will be eleced by as large vote
as was either jackson or Taylor. Gcd protect
and prosper the young and gallant adventuIer.
