The Democrat published an address to the
people Of the United States prepared by a
Committee appointed at the Grass Hopper
Falls Convention. A fair history of the
troubles in Kansas is given and the present
attitude of affairs are temporarily discussed.
The address alleged the chief incentives to a
participation in the election are the urgent
appeals from the North. 1t expresses little
hope of success.
The document contains special clause to
the people of Missouri, setting forththe relative
positions of Kansas and Missouri, and implc-
ring the people of the latter to refrain from
their previous course of aggression, which, if
PERSISTED in a'protracted and bloody war must
ensus. The address concludes by exhorting
the people of Kansas to vote at the coming
election, in pursuance of the action of the
convention.

Exploration of the Colorado.


The main portion of the party which goes
out under command Of Lieut.. Ives, for the
exploration Of the Rio Colorado, will start
in the Star of the West tomorrow, en- route
for California. 1t is the intention of Lieut..
Ives to proceed Immediately to the Gulf of
California from San Francisco in a sailing
vessel, taking with him the materials of q
small steamer. On reaching the mouth OF
the Colorado. this steamer will be put tOgeth-
err when the party will forthwith commence
the ascent of the river.
This expedition of Lieut.. Ives, it is be-
lieved, will eventually prove to have been
one Of the most importa t enterprises OF the
kind of any now in progress; whether con-
sidcred simply with reference to its anticpat-
cd scientific results, or more generally to the
future destiny of the vast region which it is
contemplated thus o throw open to the
march of civilization.
The Colorado is the largest river, save one
of any west Of the Rocky Mountains The
lower portion of the valley at points where
it has been crossed by exploring parties has
been found to possess soil of unsurpassed
richness, and the region through which it
flows is believed to possess mineral resources
of the most valuable kinds. Trappers tell ex-
travagant stories of the sublimity of the
scenery on the higher portions of the valley,
and of the gigantic canons, or gorger, through
which the river passes. The new Territory
of Arizona, which border the lower portion,
is being fast filled up by cmigrants.
From Salt Lake, too, the Mormons are
pushing their settlements toward this valley,
and are now within thirty-fve miles of its
most western bend. 1t is thought possible
that Lieut. Ives may find the river navigable
for his small steamer as high up as the 37th
parallel of latitude, which will bring him to
point at no great distance from the Salt Lake
region, and solves the problem of short and
direct water communication between that
Territory and the Pacific Ocean.
The surveys and explorations connected
with this expedition, will include the various
departments of topography geology, zoology,
mineralogy, etc. Lieut.. Ives is already ia
miliar with portion Of the route, having
traverscd it in company with Lieut.. Whipple,
upon the Pacific Railroad exploration, near
the 35th parallel of titude.
The expedition is dispatched under orders
from the War Department, and will be espe
cially gratifying to the citizens of California,
who have long desirnd that the resources Of
the unknown territory lying adjacent to their
own should be developed.

FIVE gentlemen from La Crosse visited us

We ARE informed by Mr.. James L. Wertz,
that Mr. Younglove, a well-known farmer in
this vicinity, raised, the present season, from
twelve quarts of Canadian bald wheat, fifteen
bushels, which would be on an average 60
bushels per acre. We doubt whether this
extraordinary yield can be beaten in the
Northwest, which at once stamps Houston

Kansas POlitics--The Policy Of the Free
State Party.

The Chmdo,Oan on the goth ut., referring
to the decision of the Grasshopper Falls Con-
vention, says:
The Free State men 60 into this election
under protest. They raise their united voice
against the binding force of the laws passed
by the bogus Legislature. They cease not
to maintain that the Legislature was the
creature of fraud and violence, and that it's
enactments are not entitled to respect and
obedience. They go into the election to Sc
cure the Territorial Legislature in order, if
possible, to take from the hands of their ene-
mics the power by which they have been de-
prived of their most sacred rights. They
adopt this policy with their eyes turned to-
wards, and their hearts set upon the Topeka
Constitution and Government 1t is no less
their watchword in this struggle than it has
been in the past. Towards making that
Constitution the recognized Constitution of
Kansas, and towards giving that government
fresh and glowing vitality, all the action of
the people represented in these conventions
Is pledged to be directed. They enter the
struggle with determination that they must
have fairness-that if there is in October
next, as there has been in the past, a fraudu-
lent election, the usurped power shall be
wrenched from the hands of the usurpers-
that fraud shall be crushed out and violence
repulsed

NEW YORK Sent rth

Rumors are ahoat that the Directors of
the Atlantic Telegraph Cable will renew the
attempt to lay it in October. The report is
believed to be unfounded. Messrs. G. M.
hampton, G. B. Carr and Cyrus W. Field had
an interview with Charles Wood FIRST Lord
ofsthe Admiralty, on the 2lst nit, to know
whether, if the Directors should accept the
offer made them for the whole Gable, the
British Government would assist them next
summer. Sir Charles answered promptly in
the affirmative. The Cable is wanted to be
iaid down at once in the Red Sea or Persian
Gull' SO as to get the line open to India at
tne earliest possible moment. 1900 per share
was offered in London on the oath for the
stock, without finding sellers. Confidence in

ENcouRAGNd.-We are experiencing some
of the most delightful weather; if We are ia
vored with such growing season, for week
or two the corn in Minnesota will be excel
lent. We learned from gentleman who
ought to know thrt the wheat crop Of Min-
nesota this year will more than supply the
population, giving large per cent. to the
emigration
PorAroEs.-Nice, large, mealy potatoes
are abundant in our market They are raised
in the country surrounding this city, and
command from forty to sixty cents per bush
ell. Minnesota potatoes are becoming cele-
brated throughout the Union, and in the fu-
ture will become an important article OF ex
port.--Ib.
NrN1SoER.--It appears that the grading
of the streets in Nininger proves dangerous
thing to her citizens. One man fell off the
embankmcnt week or two ago, from the
effects of which fall he has since died. We
have also heard that another man was recent
ly seriously injured in the same manner
From these mishaps one would be led to the
conclusion that Nininger is sadly out OF
shape.-U.
