A committee appointed by the Leg
islatnre of Ohio to report on sun,lIy
meniprials to that body, asking fol
certain rights to be secured to married
women, made report at length, and
closed by recommending the Judiciary
Committee to report bills Of such a
character as to secure
1st, To the Married Woman the
right to hold personality in her own
name.
2nd. To the Married Woman the
right to own half of the real estate
earned and acquired jointly. which

81. To secure to the wife when she
becomes widow. the rights that are
by law conferred on the husband

9TH. To the wife and widow an

The croakiug Policy.

Eastern journals continue to pre-.
dict that Kansas will be slave State,
evidently with the iatention of prevent
ing emigration to the Territory, and
making il q slave State. If Kansas
is not q slaye State it win not be the
fault of demagogues throughout the
North. who, We honestly believe.
desire it to be made such that their
predictions may be verified. We say
again and again that Kansas can never
be a slave State Nineteen-tweRtieths
of the population of the Territory.
at the present rate of increase from
the North, are, or soon viii be, in
favor of freedom, and will never con-
sent to be enslaved. 1t is an outrage
upon the people of Kansas, those who
have borne the fight in person in the
past, to be thus misrepresented in the
East, and through political journals.
Travel over the entire length an1
breadth of Kansas and it Is almost
impossible to find a man of either
party so lost to truth as to express q
doubt as to the ultimate result.
Let our friends in the States, instead
of desponding. send us words of chez,
and hope. A cause was never bene.
fitted by laboring continually TO dis
courage and dishearten its advocates.
Partizans May hope to gain position
by pursuing the eourae they do, but
their triumph will be short lived.
We are disguised, almost angered, al
the croaking policy of some of our
exchanges, and wish they would clip
our acquaintance.

H We understand tn, It Genl
Whitney, Capt. Emory and Colonel
Woolson have each been appointed
to positions in different land offices in
kansas.-LeaU nUorth journal.
Capt Emory was in commanl oi
the party which shot the lamented
WM. TH:LLIPS last summer, at Leayen-
worth, and was concerned in all the
,iifficul les in the vicinity of that
town, particularly with the expulsion
of free State settlers from the Terri
tory.
Gsneral WtIfeld commani led i'll
person one OF the expeditions into
Kansas, and warrant is now in the
hands of an officer for shooting Mr..
BAILLEE, and was implicated in the
murder of CANTRELL.
Woodson has been the plant tool
the pro-slavery party from his Undue
,ion into the Territory down to the
present ltwas underh his orde. $, as act
ing Governor, iha Reed, with his 2,
100 III N invaded the Territory, and
marched upon Lsw.en:e, on the
l4th OF September last.
The thee are worthy Of each o.her.
Their appointment will induce Il
smile, from A;chison himself, al
MS success in getting Such sup e
tools and accomplices elevated to
posts where they can serve
their party SO well. If President
Buchanan had searched the Territory
over he could not have found three
men who would have been so unsc,up-
ulous IN theit off; cal acts as these. We
had hoped that the Border Ruffian
administrator had closed in Kansas,
but with these men in the land Office,

Instructions to the Governor.


By dispatches from Washington it
seems President Buchanan has indorsed
the doings of the bogus Legislature,
and approved Of the act for taking the
census, and holding a constitutional
convention. he has also appointed
Gov. Walker to come here to see that
the people have "a free, Independent
and uninterrupted expression Of opin-
ion."
To show how much voice the people
are to have in the convention we will
state the fact, that in johnson coun-
ty" embracing the Shawnee reserva-
ton, and which is not open to settle
ment by the whites, and in which
fifty bona yfde settlers do not reside,
some THREE THOUSAND names
are registered. These names are the
members of a secret lodge in Missouri,
who have banded together for fraudu-
lent purposes. and who have pretended
to take claims on the Shawnee reser-
vation. continuing their actual resi-
dence all the time in Missouri, and are
carrying on business there, as if they
never had been in Kansas, as nine
tenths of them never have. save when
here on their plundering or voting ex-
petitions. These non-residents form
the basis of representation in the Con-
stitutional convention. and are enti-
tied to one delegate in that bo.ly for
each sixty registered voters. The
8. 900 names will entitle them to fifty
representatives. With the view of ST.
lencing the Lawrence district. it is said
we were detached from Douglas county
on the eve of the session of the bogus
Legislature, and attached to John
son county. Of which the reserve is
composed, with the design Of nentral-
izing our votes by non-resilents from
Missouri.
To show that these fifty representa-
tives from the Shawnee reserve district
are to control the Constitutional con-
ventien. we NAV state another fact.
In Shawnee. Breckenridge and several
other counties where a heavy Free
State vote wonld have been polled. if
the people had chose to vote the officers
appointed TO take the censns have re-
signed or declined the appointment.
In this way the voters of these dis
tricts will not be returned in the GEN.
sus, will not he represented in the con-
vention. and though they are the
most populous portion of the Ter
ritory in fact, they will be treated
as though they had no existence
What is true IF these we have no douht
will be true of all the inland districts
where there is nothing else than Free
State voters.
The pro-slaverv party were anxious
the people of the Territory should, to
some extent. participate in the cleo
ton knowing this fact would strength
en- their chances at Washington; but
if they do so they will do themselves
very great injustice. The plan is one
which was designed to seduce Free
State men into action for the purpose
of defeating them.
We were willing to join issue with
the Pro-slavery party, and wo1ld he
glad to do so at the ballot box; but we
can ae1er consent to meet them while !
fraud and violence charaeterizes every |
action of theirs. Neither will we con-
sent to he permanently enslaved by a |
set of fseoundrels who have committed
every manner ofexcesses to carry their |
plans into execution. and
who are non-residents Of the territory.
