Gov. Walker is still absent We have no more
proclamatiOns No arrests yet. No warllke move
ments Desertions continue. Soldiers and military
munitions still continue to arrive in Leavenworth:
Part of the proposed Utah expedition have started
in the direction of Fort Riley. think they will
reach that point. Col. Sumner, learn, does not
progress westward very rapidly.
The land sales at Osawkee continue. A large
portion Of the land is really going into the hands OF
Spectators under clever dodge of "squattng."
Sauatting is humbug-thatis in three out of every
four cases. With all due Difference to his serene
hghness the Commissioner, begin 10 lose faith IN
him. The trucking, trading, undetermined selling
of equatters rights that the parties never really
bad is 60 Transparent that it makes this pretense OF
an "auction" ridiculous. Where go many money
interests are involved it is tcklish place for the
Commissioner, always supposing that his conscience
is not of fanatcal" order. Pretty COED prairie
land may be bought from 81 30 to SO per acre.
Next Monday is the day appointed for the Free
State election. The recent warlike movements OF
Walker will operate unfavOrably in all localities
where fbe Free State men are weak or tlmd. Re-
ports ale quite prevalent that the troops will put
stop to the election. / do not think Walker will
dare TO do this; but think there is a studlOus
effort to give tue rumOrs publicity, In order 10 scare
away all tbe tmid. Secret intrigue, public iDtlmi.
dstio all the arts Vt the political trcksters, are
sorted to, that the people may be crushed; but be-
meath all The popular pulse beats strongly and truly.
Nominating Conventions have been held 10 every
locality in Kansas, and the deep anxiety manifested
exhibits the fact that the people believe that 1t Will
be living Government.
The utmost Consideration prevails with the FRO
Slavery men on account of the organization OF the
people of each precinct into military companies to
preserve the ballot-box pure. The design with
Them was to carry the Territorial election in Octo-
Der by fraud and by the aid Of bogus laws OF re-
strictiOn.
The resolution passed by the people at the last
Topeka Convention that they shonfd have an elec-
ton under the organic act, Is regarded as cmlnCIls
in spite Of the public promise Of Walker at Topeka,
that the people should have an election In October
under the organic act, he is already cOnnlyng to
lave troops to maintain the bogus election
Judges, the bogus election law; In fact
TO stand with bayOnets behind these men and
protect them in their rascay. !! this be persisted
In. look OFT for squalls. These bogus officials are
capable Of any fraud and villay, and will do any
thing rather than let the sceptsr depart. The Peo-
ME Of Kansas H not be snmdted by these creatures
Of Missouri They are determined on fair play, and
if buchanan wants fight let him get his " Utah
expeditiOn' in order for he will have Il smashing
one. -, ,
The weather is not so very hot We have had
some rains, light as yet but giving the promise OF
more. Money commands five per cent a month.
Business is brisk.
