Journal has a. las, come TO its RICH,

says:
As far as Gov. Hamlin is personally
concerned, to say nothing Of the cause o,
Temperance. We exceedingly resre, Civ

eating liquor was circulated a, his
Leyee.
We are free to confess tina,
this whole thing has laugh, us a lesson
we shall be slow 10 Tt the publ
cation Of Hunker scandal against an Up
right Republican
We now say that Gov. Hamlin is
wholly generated from the charge OF
permitting intoxicating liquor to be cir
enia'ed at his Levee that we believe
HIM innocent of all such intent; and
that We sincerely regret being the medi-
um OF an erroneous accusation while II
Is proper to add that if we are again the
subject OF gross imposition, i, will be
when we have more confidence in the
integrity OF men who claim rank in the
social scale, than We are now disposed to
indulge.
For the present, then. we leave our in.
ormants there, sincerely hoping tha. no
serious injury has been done to the repu-
tation of Gov. Hamlin."

BRUTAL MuEpER, PRoBABLY.-Several dead
bodies having been found in the Illinois river
near Meredosia, within a week or two, cir
cumstances have been brought to light, in
dicating that shocking murder has been
committed. 1t appears that, about the LIST
of May, ? men, woman, and 8 children
came to the house of fisherman, several
miles below Beardstown, and stopped all
night. The men hired to cut God for Mr..
Briggs, and the whole party occupied a
shanty on the west side of the river in the
lower edge Of Schuyler county. On the
evening of the supposed murder, the men
purchased two jugs Of liquor, saying they
were going to have frolic." On the same
evening about eleven o'clock, two men, who
were fishing in the vicirity of this shanty,
heard the cry Of murder" from a woman,
but the cry soon ceased. They afterwards
heard one of the children exclaim, "pap,
don't kill me-" They seem to have made
no effort to Interfere, or investigate the af-
fair, as they report that they soon heard a
splash in the river and then all was still.
Next day all the inmates of the shanty had
disappeared. A week afterwards the woman
was found in the river near Meredosia, with
marks on her indicating that she mad come
to violent death; and shortly after two of
the children were found in the river bearing
similar marks. The supposed murderers
are described as follows:
First, the one representing himself as the
husband of the woman gave his name as
George c. Clayton-also went by the name
of John George. He is about five feet eight
inches high, with dark hair, blue eyes, con.
siderably pock-marked, weighs about 100
pounds, aged Sc years had on checked or
tweed coat, the remainder of his clothing
very common. He is great talker, likes to
drink, and represents himself as Canadian
Frenchman.
The other called himself James Watson
appears to be an Irishman, says he is from
Canada, is five and a half feet high, has
black hair, freckled face, is heavy set, with
broad shoulders, and weighs about 10
pounds. The beard on his chin is not
shaved. He appears to be about 80 years of
age.
The two men were seen at La Sale week
ago, where they were without money, and
started up the canal. Neither has yet been
arrested.

We publish to-day the Premium List,
Regulations, &C., of our County Fair, to be
held the last week in September. Most Of
the premiums are to be paid in cash, and
the list is the largest ever offered in the
county. The season has been unusually
fruitful, so that there will be no lack of an
abundance Of articles for exhibition. All
we want is little energy-a little public
spirit on the part of our farmers and me-
chanics to make this the most gorgeous dis
play of the kind ever witnessed in La Sale
County. The executive Committee are
making preparations for large display,
and we believe they will not be disappointed.

POISONED TEA.-The London Times has
Terrible leader in which it asserts the Chi
nese will poison our teas, and every other
eatable that may hereafter be exported from
their dominicns. 1t says:
ave believe honestly and truly, that the
destruction Of human life in this country
and in America from the use of poisoned
tea. will be the most fearful calamity that
has ever visited the two countries in this
century. It will kill more people in England
than were killed in the Crimea. 1t will des-
troy more human life in the United States,
than our wars, the yellow fever or the chol.
era. People continue to drink tea, and
think there is no danger! 1t will be fatal
mistake. Wait until the cargoes of tea now
on their way to American ports are landed"

The constitutional convention of Mime
sofa. authorized to be convened by the
enabling act" of Congress, to form con-
stitution preparatory to the admission Of
that territory into the Union as State, is
split up into two distinct bodies, eachsen-
gagged in framing constitution on its own
hook. The division was brought about in.
this way. The delegates elected to the con-
vention consisted Of As democrats and so
republicans, whose seats were undisputed.
But in the st. Anthony district six more de-
mocrats had been elected by clear MAORI
ty; but by disgraceful trick, the nature of
which we explained several weeks ago, the
county clerk gave the certificates of election
to the defeated republican candidates.-
Other certificates, however, in favor of the
democrats really elected, were made out by
the judges of the election. When the con-
vention met, the contest between the two
political parties was, as to which should
Lave the presiding officer, as democrat
would be likely to receive the certificates Of
the democratic delegates from st. Anthony,
while republican would admit the bogus
delegates of his own party. By common
custom, the duty of presiding over the con-
vention until it was organized, belonged to
the Secretary Of the Territory, and accord
ing'y on the assembling Of the delegates, the
Secretary took the chair. Business vas
conducted in the usual form, when a motion
was made and put to adjourn until 12 clock
next day, which was carried. AS soon,
however, as the convention had adjourned
and the democrats left the hall, the republi-
cans re-organized, elected chairman, re-
ceived the credentials Of their members, adj
mitted the bogus delegates from st. Antbo-
ny, and then, placing guards about the
doors and locking them, have kept posses
sion of the hall ever since. Meantime the
democrats met in another room, and receiv-
ing the certificates Of their delegates, in
Guiding the six democrats from St. Antho-
nv, have also organized. And thus both
conventions are at work, each framing a
constitution for the new state When the
constitutions are finished and the new state
applies for admission into the Union, Con-
gress will have nice time in deciding which
convention shall be recognized

favorite place for picnic parties, and is visit
ed every few days by parti,s from La Sale,
Peru or Ottawa. One day last week par
ty of victims of the "spiritual" delusion,
from Peru and La Sale, had picnic on
the summit of this rock. The La Sale Press
had reporter on the ground, who says:
awhile one of the mediums was speak
ing, he was suddenly taken possession of by
the spirit Of one of the old indian warriors
-(who, years ago, on that lonely rock, bid
farewell to this world)-and gave a whoop
and jump SO purely Indian, that the party
present were startled into the belief that
the entire tribe Of the Illinois had again ap-
peared upon earth and come to take posses
sion once more Of that famous old Rock.

then, before it is too late, to recede from the
perilous position in which you now stand.
l appeal once more to reason and patriot
ism. l ask you in the name of our common
country, in the name of the constitution
and OF the Union, to desst from this rebel
lion. l appeal once more to your love OF
country, to your regard for its peace, pros
perlty and reputation, to affection for your
wives and children, and to all those patriotic
motives which ought to influence American
citizens, to abandon this contemplated reyo-
luton. If you have wrongs, redress them
through the peaceful instrumen,ality of the
ballot-box in the mode prescribed by the
laws Of your country,
AS all arguments heretofore so often ad-
dressed by me to you, have failed as yet to
produce any effect upon you, have deemed
it necessary for your safety, and that of the
Territory, and to save you from the perilous
consequences Of your own acts, under the
authority vested in me by the President of
the United States, to order an adequate
force of the troops Of the United States in
to your immediate vinage, to performing
the painful duty of arresting your revolu-
tionary proceeding. Let me implorc you
not to compel me to appeal to that military
power which is required in the last resort,
| .
You cannot carry your rebellious purposes
and open conflict with the troops and the
government of the United States.
Let me ALLURE you then, once more, to
abandon these proceedings before you in
volve yourselves in the crime of treason,
and subject the people Of the city of Law
renee to all the horrors and calamities of in
surrection and civil war. If you will now
desist from the projected revolution, the
past will be forgotten as far as practicable;
but if you persist in passing these laws and
carrying them into execution, thus defying
and superseding the government Of your
country, the deplorable consequences must
be upon your heads and those Of your asso-
GATES 1t will be my purpose, if you still
persist, to spare all bioodshed as far as prac-
ticable, and subject the leaders and project
ors of this revolutionary movement to the
punishment prescribed by the law. | will
accompany the troops to Lawrence with
view to prevent, if possible, any coutiict,
and in the sincere hope that the revolution
airy movement contemplated by you, and
now SO nearly accomplished, will, ere it is
too late, be abandoned by you.
If you can be influenced by do other mo-
tives, the evident fact that the power of
government is adequate to prevent the &C
complisAment Of your purpose, should IN
duce you to desist from these proceedings.
That the same overriding Providence who
holds in his hands the destiny Of our below
ed country may now incline your hearts to
peace, and influence you to abandon this IA
tai enterprise, is the sincere wish Of your
fellow citizen, X. }. WALKER,
Governor Of Kansas Territory.
