On Saturday afternoon very many of
our citizens noted the appearance Of a
very remark able formation Of nebulous
or cloudy substance, extending from the
heavens nearly to the earth, where il
seemed to diminish almost to point,
but expanded gradually as it assembled,
until the peculiar form was lost in the
clouded sky. This remarkable and tun-
nel-lke column Of cloudy mist, passed
over the city at about four o. clock, and
was remarked not only by its peculiar
appearance. but by rushing, huzzing
noise, as it swept off ia the direction of

to any of the preparations now in use for the

A False Report,

1t is reported in the Portage Democrat,
and other Republican papers, that Cover
nor Walker has fled from the territory of
Kansas, never to return again, and that ais
life was in danger. This report is untrue in
every particular. Governor Walker has
not fed from Kansas, and does not intend
to-his life is not in danger. He has hosts
of friends, and never was more universally
popular in that territory than now Read
his correspondence in another column.
Again, it is reported by the same authority,
that the administration condemns Walker.
This is also untrue. His course meets the
decided approval of the administration. 1t

County Democrat
II has been the custom TO have this Re.

some cause best known to the wisdom OF cn'
Republican Office holders, it is permitted to

will give one or two reasons which we ap

have taken.
They think that all laws are made for the
benefit Of Republicans; that Democrats havt
no rights in the county except 10 pay taxes
they have no right to know how their money i
ed;how much is received and paid out. Suel
knowledge is only for those who supper
and read Republican newspapers. If tht
above reason should be an erroneous one
we can conceive but one other, and that is
that these Republican officers are afraid t
allow their financial management 10 be un

and hence they desire TO have the know

their political friends.

be. We cannot look upon this proceeding
In any other light, than as the work Of me

Gov. walker and tssc President.

The position assumed by Gov Walker
and Secretary Stanton, in rejecting frtudu
'lent votes in Karsas, seems 10 meet with
! univcrssl concurrence and aBprobation
among the democracy Of the nation. The
dis;ntcrested and impartial ma nner in which
they has discharged their duties, excites the
admiration uad applause d men of cahdor and
honesty everywhere.
There wos 'telc rdbhic report few
days prior to the New York election, st,t
ing that Walkers conduct had been CON.
demned by the President. This report was
false in every particular. It was circulated
for the purpose of affecting the State cleo.
tions.
| We hare no doubt but Mr.. .BucHandh and
the rhole Cabinet cordially oppF6rs Ike action
of Waller as Gorernor Of KdnsGs. The
Philadel phia Press, edited by Hon, tvhn w.
| Forney, the intimate and confidential friend
and counsellor of Mr. Buchanan, uses the
following language in regard TO thercjcction
of the votes in the Ok ord precinct:
"Thc Democratic party ia pledged to the
doctrine that Kansas should be lairiy gov
, erned by those who reside within her bor-
ders, aud the efforts which Gov. Walker has
made to accomplish that object will re1pund
to his cretit among far and patriotic men il!
all quarters Of the Union F"
Again in another place, Col. Forney says:
"Since the above article was written
Governor Walkers reasons for rejecting the
vote of the Oxford precinct, in Johnson
county, have heen made pub!". We pub
lish his proclamation on the subject. 1t Is n
paper that reflects high credit on him. We
honor his courage, mis- canGor, and his integ.
rity. No man can read this noble docu
ment without feeling that truth and patriot
ism dictated every line Of it."
Such is the language Of the only paper
in the Union, which may properly be sad tc
be tie organ and express the Views OF the
President. To place the hratter beyont
doubt, however, Mr.. Buchanan has written
letter stating distinctly that Walker unc
Stanton will not be removed, but will remain
! in Kansas.
All the leading Democrati, journals o
the North, and the majority Of thc5' in tht
South approve the. conduct of Walker
His course is hailed with joy and salts 'ac
ton by the true men Of the party; not o.
/ account OF the result of the election II
Kansas, this to them is a matter Of fnino
importance, but because the right of self
government and the party OF the ballot box
has been vindicottd. The beauty Of a grea
Democratic principle when applied to ih
settlement Of questions Of public and Stat
policy, is made apparent. The integrity o
a public officer has been proved. Thcs
things are justly cause Of c6ngratniatioI
