For the sauatter Sovereign.

.Messrs. Editors We have Just. re-
turned from viewing the Territorial Road
from Atchison to MarysviIle via Rich
mond and Woodson, and found the route
as surveyed by US, passing through the
richest and most romantic prairie country
in Kansas. We have been enabled to
shorten the route 35 miles between the
two extreme points, and for travelling and
settlement, abounding in wood and water.
We left Atchison and travelled due west
to the head of Independence Creek, on
the Military Road miles, thence west
by north, 25 degrees to Richmond, distant
So miles, passing through Greenwood,
40 miles, on the Walnut Creek, thence
west by south, 8 degrees, passing through
Woodson, % miles, to MarysyilIe at the
crossing of Big Blue, distance 35 miles,
making the whole distance from the Mis-
souri, River to the Pawnee Hunting
Grounds, go miles. We crossed some ten
of the different Grasshoppers, all of them
having rock and pebbly fords, and three
branshes of the Nemahaw River and two
of the Big Blue River, the Black Vernil-
lion and Spring Creek. This route can
now be travelled by light wagons, without
working the road, having high divides be-
tween all the streams gradually rising
from the water. To give some idea of
distance saved, we found part of our road
which we measured eight miles, by the
old route, was seventeen miles. Travel
lers by this route, can always find good
water and plenty of wood, without going
off the road, and that great wonder,
g" Buffalo Herds" have seen $50 miles
from here, although our route was not on
exact straight lines through, We having de-
waited for the purpose of getting on best
lands, and good fords. I can say it would
be almost impossible to find another route
of the same length, that requires less work
or through more beautiful country in the
world, and in a few years, viii be settled
by an immense population.

town recently laid off on the Red Yer
million. We are informed by a person
jus, in from that place, that 1t is beauti-
full location for town, and situated in the
lncst fertile portion of Kansas Territory.
We have often wondered that this point
was not settled upon by some enterprising
men, who. we were confident, in a short
time, could build up large town there.
It has at last fallen into the bands of a
company who will rush matters through.
and in short time, build up city infe-
rior to none in the Territory. Our worthy
friend, Samuel Dixon, Esq, of this city,
has been elected President of the Town
Association. and Is authorized to dispose
of shares or lots to those wishing to an
vest. We shall refer to this place again,

MoRE KICKING IN THE Traces a
number of Southern Know-N Nothing papers
have rebelled against the doings of the
Chiefs at Philadelphia, and refuse TO sup
port either the platform or ticket there
adopted. The Monticello, Ala, Herald,
thus kicksout of the traces:
sc We will neither support the Platform
nor the ticket. Mr.. Fillmore is entitled to
no gratitude from the South. He reluct-
antly signed the fugitive Slave Law, which
was part of bargain in which the North
got greatly the advantage, and then he
feebly executed it, which any open mouth
ed abolitionist would have been bound to
do. occupying his position as Chief Magis-
trate, and sworn to execute the laws. He
stands where Webster stood, and if we
are not mistaken, that was in open oppo-
sition to the admission of any more slave
States into the Union"

Es4s- 1t is thought by many, that the
murderer OF sheriff Jones, is no less a
parsonage than Gov. Reeder. The fact
OF his councelling the people of Lawrence
to "resist the laws even unto DEATH" and
his known hatred of Jones, is certainly
evidence against him. He is just capable
OF doing such dirty deed, and in our
opinion, he is the identical Individual, who,
lost to all sense Of shame, did cowardly as
sassnate sheriff Jones while in the dis
charge of his duty.

Treason in Fun.

Treason in Fun.
g His bloody browl Oh Jupiter NO blood" ;"
1t turns out, at last, that his incornpara-
bic, valorous, patriotic, and excessively
Democratic ExcelIency, Charles Robinson,
Esq, does not claim to be much of Gov
ernor, after all. If we are to take his ac-
count of the matter, he and his freedom
loving Legislature, at Topeka, are only
playing make beiseve. just little, for the
fun of the thing, to see how it would seem,
if such a thing ever should happen In
reality. In other words, his sublime and
puissant Excellency tells his Legislature
that, seriously, after all, there is some
doubt about their right to make laws In
earnest, and that, therefore, they had bet
ter not do any thing to bring themselves
in conflict, either with the Federal or Ter
ritorial Governments. 1t is true they
have pretended to elect two q. S. Sena-
tors, and the people have pretended to
elect a Representative to Congress, but
that, we suppose, was only in fun, or If
there was any thing serious about it. it
was only intended to have every thing
ready, so that if Congress was disposed
to recognise them as the legitimate " squat
ter sovereigns of the Territory, they
could be ready to slide into the Union, as
slick as grease.
Now, all this organization of State
Government in Kansas, was either in Jest
or in earnest. If it be a joke, it is a very
bungling one, one that men of sense would
not be very apt to engage in. If it be in
tended as serious enterprise, and its ac-
tors persist in carrying it out, they will
probably reach very e,ralted position in
society, sooner than will be at all agreeable.
On the whole, we are inclined to be-
ieFe that Charley and his Legislature
meant to be In jest or in earnest, Just as it
happened to be most convenient. A hum
ter once shot at what he supposed to be a
deer, but failed of hitting the object at
which he aimed, which turned out to be a
calf, belonging to one of his neighbors.
The neighbor saw the hunter shoot, and
reproached him for his carelessness.-
"Well," says the hunter, "I wasn't ex-
actly certain that it was a deer when i
shot, and I aimed so as to hit it, if it was
deer, and so as to miss it, if it was a
calf" 1t is in precisely this manner that
our pusillanimous Governor of the Ssafe
of Kansas, has acted in this transaction.
He acts like traitor; he aims his popgun
at both the Federal and Territorial Gov
ernments, but if it turns out that they are
an overmatch for him, why he is only in
fun-he doesn't shoot in earnest at a cali
but if they happen to be as tirnid as
deers, and are really frightened at the
sight of his Topeka popgun, why then, the
valiant Governor is most terribly in earn

A CASE FOR GOV. CHASE OF OHIo.-A
case has just occurred in Cincinnati, illus
trating the bad consequences of the sue
cess of abolitionists at elections. Shortly
after the election of Chase, on the wooly
Fusion ticket, as Governor of Ohio, a
young married woman in Cincinnati, duly
impressed with the conviction that the
popular voice had decided negroes to be
upon political and social equality with
white persons, divided her time between
her white husband and negro fellow
named Scott. Her husband not relishing
this practical exercise of Fusion, COM
planned to the courts, and for no other Of
fence than believing that Gov. Chase and
the political party in power really believed
in the purity of the principles they advo-
Gated. she was committed to jail for twenty
days. Justice, which is evidently Demo-
cratic in Cincinnati, did not stop here; the
saddle-colored lover was sentenced to pay
fine of 500, and committed to Jail for
twenty days-his offence being in believ-
ing that Gov. Chase was right in saying
that negroes were as good as white men,
