State Legislature met at Topeka on the
4th inst, and organized, electing its Off
GERS. Gov. Robinson delivered his mes
sage, which is published 1t is mostly
devoted to a review of Kansas history and
az endeavor to justify the action of the
Free State party. Resistance to the Fed
eral authority was discouraged. The Leg
islature had adjourned to Lawrence, for
better security, and seemed determined TO
carry out their measures. Gov. Shannon
had gone there to see what was doing. No
violence was apprehended, and but little
excitement existed along the border
Two hundred Sharp's rifles and two can
non were intercepted by the citizens, and
held subject to Gov. Shannon's order
1t turned out, however, that they belong

A dispatch from St. Louis brings later
advices from Kansas. The Legislature
was still in session, and had elected Ex
Gov. Reeder and Col. Lane U. States
Senators, to represent the new State in
Congress. 4 II WIS quiet there.

MINORITY REPORT.

The undersigned, members of the Com
mittee onthe State of the order, appoin-
ted by the President of tie State Council,
beg leave to submit the following minor-
ty report:
We recognize the National Council as
the paramount authority of the American
Order, and deem refusal to support
candidates nominated by a Convention
assembled in accordance with Its rules a
virtual abandonment Of our organization.
The solemn obligations which the ma
jority of our Order took upon themselves,
at the height of the anti-slavery excite
ment, resulting from the passage of the
Nebraska Bill, to maintain, as preeminent
in Importance. the principles of the Amer-
can Order, have no., in our opinion, lost
any of their force by the present juncture
of affairs. The question of slavery extea-
sion, is each day losing the character of
an impending danger, from the fact that
the operation of tie laws Of population
and of nature, render it improbable that
any Of the territory of the United States
will be subjected to the evils ofthat insti
tuition. We therefore can never consent
to become absorbed by a party which pro-
fesses to have only that one object, and
which repudiates in one locality, and ig-
nores in another, the principles of the A
merlcan party.
We continue to maintain the opinion
that the restoration of the Missouri com
promise would be proper vindication OF
national faith, and not inconsistent with
the rights of either section, North or South
and if that issue is now impractcable, il
has been made so by the treacherous de-
serton of the pretended devotees of free
dom.
We cannot sanction the course of tha
4 portion of our delegates who seeded
: from the American National Convention
nor can we become parties to the con
structing of a merely sectional organza
ton, and therefore recommend to the
: members of the American Order, tina
e they preserve it in its full integrity ane
S its entire nationality, and support tn
nomination of Mllard Fillmore for Presi
;, dent and Andrew Jackson Donelson 10
y Vice President of the United States.
= E. P. NORTON,
y DAN. McFARLAN D.
A very sharp and pointed debate wa
. had upon the adoption of these reports
: when the report of the majority was 6
dopted by a vote Of 134 to 49, Where

will properly and legitimately- enter into
the approaching struggle, and we will not
aid in the election of my man whom we
suppose will countenance the admission
into this Union of another single State
with the institution of Slavery engrafted
upon its Constitution and laws.
We hope things will be SO arranged as
to enable all the op ,onents of the present
corrupt and imbecile administration to u
mite upon one man.-in that event sue
cess Will be certain. Should they fail in
bringing about state oftbings so desira-
Bile, the result may indeed be disastrous.
The American and Republican parties
should be careful thatthey do not, through
a spirit of III berolity, prevent that unity
OF action on the part of their members
which Is so necessary to the success Of
their cause and their candidates. Let
union be the motto of all.

A Big Sleigh Ride.

The papers have given glowing accounts
of monster sleighing parties this winter.
One in Connecticut attracted good deal
of attention, but the following from the
Cleveland Herald Of late date, RI
yals them all:
Yesterday, by previous agreement, Me-
dina, Cuyahoga and Summit counties met
by four horse sleigh representation, at
klchheid, to dispute the right of posses
sion to the flag previously won by Summit
county from Cuyahoga, for getting up
the largest sleighing party. TIE Cuyaho-
ga people were very confident yesterday
morning of outnumbering all competors,
and SO assured were they that they pro.
cured squad of artillerymen to take a
gun, that they might announce to the
listening world that the Cuyahogas had
won the tield-alas! "the race is not TO
the swift, nor the battle to the slrong,"
and the poor artillerymen, after dragging
their heavy gun through fifteen miles Of
deep snow drifts, and being soused into
four foot snow banks several times by the
upsetting of their carriage, arrived at
this village just in time TO learn that Cay
hoga's honors traled in ,he--snow. and
the banner still hung from Summlt's outer
wall, untouched. Cuyahoga assembled
procession of Isl four horse teams. occu-
py;ng over two and half miles of road; !;
Medina 40 and Summit III. One WHO
was there says it would be within the
truth to estimate the number of persons
~ to each sleigh-tie total number.
therefore. meeting at Richfeld was at
least 1920; the numbe of horses attach
ed to the sleighs were ,848, and the cost
estimating at SIS for each Sleigh. was
nearly seven thousand -. -

TE~ Formulation and eyfrav

N- Peculation and extravaganza
seems TO be the order of the day among
our State officials. Last week we gave
an account of some grand specimens of
extravaganza in the management of the
new State House, by which the State was
involEed in debt of over 100000 be-
yond the appropriations. Now look at
the following extract from the Columbus
correspondent of the Cleveland Herald,
and see how those who have had charge
of the new Insane Asylum at Daytoa man
age things:
"The Special House Committee have
been taking look at the Dayton Insane
Asylum. They find brick barn there
80 by 80, erected and finished in style
to suit the Trustees and Superintendent,
for the snug sum of Three Thousand Eight
Hundred aua Forty Five Dollars! An ell
egant carriage belonging to the State,
costing $3.50, and three fine horses. also
belonging to the State, to give the otl-
cials and their families rides on all proper
occasions. The luxury Of their apart
ments may be judged o. from the follow
ing items in Mr.. Boyer bill, not paid yet,
however:
2 Tete a-tetes $117,OO
2 French Sofas, in plush $4,000
l2 Parlor Chairs, brocatelles 1875, 90

To which IS per CENTS added 205, ,76
"Mr. Boyer's whole bill for furniture
for the Asylum is SO, ,966,25, and he has
charged SO cents per foot for the plainest
kind of benches for patients, his whole
charge for this item amounting to s145.

line, let him say so frankly, and he will
stand with the popular sentiment OF the
North, with Justice and Right. Until
that is done, in full view of all the de-
nunciations of old friends--in view of the
present loss ofinauence, of position, and in
many instances the respect of those whose
respect we prize--we cannot support
him. We have counted the cost, weigh
ed the sacrifice, and are prepared to en-
counter them. Until that is done IN a
straight forward manner which becomes
a frank, highminded, fearless man he can
not hope for the support of the North,
East, or the West. But beng done, and
standing as he will in harmony with the
i Northern sentiment, opposition to his e.
