The long-expected Governor Of Kansas, MrWalker

Gov. Robinson was conducted to the upper deck,

AMERICAN SPooL CoTTON THREAD.-Several at

the Wlimantic Linen Company Conn commenced
experimenting on the manufacture of tins article,

mill. These experiments have resulted in the most
gratifying success and the Company are now erecting
new mill 300 feet long 6S feet wide, and four stories
high designed solely for the manufacture OF all kinds
of spool cotton thread. It's intended to run l2oVO
spipdes in this mill. which will enable the Company to
tun out 5000 dozen spools per day. By Patent pro-
cess they claim to be able TO finish their thread more
evenly. and with more perfect polish, than has been
attained by the manufacturers of the best imported
threads making it difficult to distinguish the Amer
lean thread from silk the gloss being SO nearly alike
Only the finest high-prced Sea Island and New
Orleans cottons are used in the manufacture OF TINS

strength than the same numbers of the best imported
The Company are only able rs yet to furnish ,OOO

The Terre Haute Union.


We must take issue with the Union,
published at Terre Haut, Ind, when it
says:
"There is not single State in the
Mississippi Valley which does not surpass
Kansas in beauty and fertility" We do
not believe there is any region of the world
that surpasses it in these respects, not even
Italy, with its orient skies and varied
scenery, and such is the opinion of every
intelligent traveller who has visited Kan
sas, and made his opinions public. We
have our drawbacks, it is true, but fewer
than any other country, taking all things
into consideration. Were we to Judge of
Kansas from the last season we confess
that our love for it might somewhat abate;
but our experience here now passes
through four autumns, the three proceed
ing ones of which, have been strange
contrast with that of this season.
Besides, the Union is in error in its
statement that Kansas was not always free
until the Missouri Compromise was re-
pealed. 1t is true the slave laus of Lou
isiana were extended over it prior to the
adoption of the Missouri Compromise,
but it is not true that a single slave was
held in Kansas under those laws; on the
contrary We have proof that slaves were
not held here prior to that time; and, in
fact, there were no white settlers here, not
one, unless they were trappers and travel
ers, and they had no use for SLAVES.

Our Kew Secretary.


A friend of ours, states that he was well
acquainted with Gen. J. W. DENVER, in
California, and has furnished us with some
information in regard to him. He states
that the Legislature of California made
an appropriation for the purpose of send
ing out train, with provisions, &C., to
aid emigrants who were on their way
across the plains to that State. The
whole matter was given in charge to Gov
Bigler. The latter commissioned Mr..
DENVER Superintendent of the Relief
Train. While carrying out his commits
sion, the editor of the Alta California
commented upon the manner the funds
were being expended, and censured the
Governor for a mal-appropriation of the
public charity. Denver returned, read the
article, felt highly incensed at it, and
challenged the editor, E. Gilbert, ESQ.,,
which was accepted. The parties met at
Oak Grove, about two miles from Sacra-
mento City, and on the second fire Gilbert
fell dead, havingreceived bullet through
the heart.
A split occurring between the Northern
and Southern wing of the Democracy in
1853, in nominating candidates for Rep
resentatives to Congress, the Southern
wing put P L. Herbert and j. w. Den
yer in nomination, and succeeded, with
the aid of the Know Nothing vote, in
electing them. Herbert, our informant
states, was a notorious black leg, who
kept a gambling house in Marysville, and
subsequently, shot the Irish waiter in
Washington City.
During Denver's connection with Con-
gress he was amerelooker-on, and his name
rarely occurs in the public journals save
on the call of the yeas and nays. Instead
of returning to California at the expira-
ton of his term of Office, he was appoint
ed Commissioner of Indian Affairs, which
post he retained until his appointment of
Secretary of this Territory. He was in
Lawrence few months ago in the dis
charge of his official duties.
He is a man of ordinary tai
ent, of large size, and rather corpulent
was considered as conservative for south
ern man, but owed his position ip a great
measure to his non-committalism.
Gen. DENVER is a native of Ohio, but
resided for some time in Western Missou-
ri before going to California. He endorses
the action of Gov. WALKER and Secretary
STANTON in fuN, and we understand says
if Mr.. Buchanan expects him to pursue
any other policy here than that pursued
by these gentlemen, he will find himself
mistaken. A friend had along interview
with the General the other day, and ad-
mits that he was very much preposessed
in his favor.

Liberal,

1t is amusing to receive city papers at
this Office, with request to copy their
prospectus by so doing few times We
shall be entitled to an exchange. What
are the facts? Our exchange list now
numbers probably some five hundred
papers, and not a mail comes in that
we do not receive requests to exchange.
So valuable is the Herald of Freedom con-
sidered as an exchange we are rendered
daily papers from all the larger cities in
payment for our weekly. Our list is Sc
large that it is impossible to open them,
much less read them, and yet some jour-
mails which have never seen ours, propose
to give theirs in exchange provided we
will do twenty or thirty dollars worth Of
advertising for them. This is certainly
liberal on their part.

had the right to form constitution and
submit it to the people for approval or
send it up to Congress without approval.
| think it is deducible from the message
that the President does not hold that, be-
cause the entire constitution was not sub
mitted to the people, Kansas should be
kept out of the Union.
Judge Douglas-I infer from the mes
sage that the President does hold that a
Convention had right to form Consti-
tuition and send it here, but that was only
the right to petition for redress of griey-
ances under the federal Constitution and
not because the Legislature had the power
to constitute that legal Convention.
: Bigler-Where did you get that?
Judge Douglas replied-A gentleman
(meaning TrumbulD yesterday read from
speech made by Mr.. Buchanan that the
Legislature had no right to create Con-
vention to supercede Territorial govern
ment, and to attempt it would be a gross
usurpation. The Democratic party has
held that doctrine ever since, and asserted
it a year ago by endorsing his Douglas')
report from committee on Territories
Three hundred thousand copies were cir
culated as party documents. He himself
paid for hundred thousand copies of
them. (Laughter.)
Bigler entered his protest and claimed
the statute of limitations. He could not
consent that Senator Douglas should hold
the President responsible for principles
laid down twenty years ago under entire
ly different circumstances. 1t is not half
so long since Douglas declared that the
Missouri line was sacred compromise
In 1848 he proposed. to extend it to the
Pacific Ocean; yet he repealed the whole
of it.
Mr.. Douglas denied the right of Bigler
to offer the statute of limitations. None
but the authorized attorney of the party
can thus interpose. The Senator has de-
MED me authority to speak for the Presi-
dent He cannot file that plea.
Douglas approved of the statute of lim-
itations. He needed one very much him.
self. He had never boasted that he had
never changed his opinions. He felt every
year little wiser than the year before
Has the President ever withdrawn that
opinion in which he denied the right to
plead the statute of limitation against the
Cincinnati convention? He stood now
where he stood last year, because he be-
lieved he was right. 1t was true that he
voted for Toombs' bill, and was ready to
vote for it again by doing SO there would
be no quarrel-it would not do to taunt
him with once voting for measure ne
would not vote for now.
