ed, and think may say there is not the least
indication on the part ofthe citizens of Kansas
to renew the difficulties which has heretofore
distracted and divided them upon the all alb
sorbing question Of the day-I mean the ques-
ton Of slavery. 1t is true there is difference
Of opinion still entertained on the part Of the
intelligent portion Of the citizens of this once
distracted Territory in relation to the vexed
subject; but that opinion Is freely advanced and
discussed in all candor and lberality of senti-
ment. Not only that but the best of feeling
prevails throughout the Territory among all
classes Of her citizens and whatever were the
origin of the difficulties that engendered them
to strife, commotions, difficulties, &C., have been
buried in the oblivion Of the past. The laws
of the Territory are strictly enforced.
The emigration to this territory is immense.
Beyond precedent, except probably in the uni
ting of acknowledgements of persons arri-
wing weeky-the greater portion of whom to
seek new homes on the broad praries and fer
tile plains of once bleeding Kansas. Few, but
comparatively few, are disappointed with the
country--and many Of them, Only, because they
cannot sleep on "leathers of down" and 'flow-
cry beds of ease" Why, sir, in the western
/ country, pioneer thinks he does well if he can
get the "soft side of plank board for his bed"
and the "starry arched firmament of Heaven
for his covering. An emigrant is considered
lucky when he can procure that-many go fur
ther and fare worse.
| The election for delegates to form constitu-
ton for Kansas, preparatory to her applying
for admission into the, Union as one of the in
dependent andsovereign States of the Ameri-
can ConGderacy, comes off in the month Of
June. The census has been taken-many per-
sons however refuse to give their names-and
therefore the officers who were appointed to
perform that duty were disabled in making as
full returns in the premises as they would have
otherwise dcne. speak in particular Of this
(Leavenworth county,) The free state men, as
they call themselves, refuse to participate in the
approaching election for delegates However
hundreds Of that party will not follow IN The
wake of their leaders, but will attend the polls
and exercise the right which freemen deem sa
cred--the right of suffrage, and will of course
have their leaders responsible in case kansa!
should become slave State.
The Hon. R. P. Stanton, the newly appointed
Secretary for this Territory arrived at this pa,(
yesterday. He was greeted here by hundreds
Of the patriotic sons of Kansas. lie made ar
able and eloquent speech, which was highly ap-
plauded by all classes of our citizens who had
the good fortune to hear that distinguished
Southener. An election was held here yester-
day for Mayor, to fill the vacancy occasoncd by
the resignation of W. r. Murphy, The free
state men elected their candidate-but little in
terest was manifested on the occasion. The
National Democrats were unable to agree upor
a candidate and therefore let the ELECTION so by
default.
/ l had the good pleasure of meeting D. Hill
BERT Esq, of your place, here to-day. He seems
well pleased with the country. Col "Jim
Lane was recently on visit to Dr. John II.
Stringfeow. He was treated very kindly by
the Doctor and partook of the hospitalities oi
his home. Does that look like war again?--
Col. Lane says he is for peace-not war. So
says every well disposed citizen who has the III
terests Of his country at heart-and them that
say to the contrary are only fit for treason.
Hon. R. j. Walkers appointment as Cover
nor Of this Territory meets with a cordial and
hearty response from the mass of the people.
President Buchanan was fortunate in making
such an able selection to fill the place so honor
ably held and sustained by our late Chief Mag.
istrate--John w. Geary. The Spring has been
unusually late and backward, yet we live in
hopes Of warm comfortable weather soon.
Yours, &C.,
