The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-05-09
Next governor Of pe,nsylvapsa.

Prospects now look favorable for
the election of Hon. DAVID WILMoT as
the next Governor of Pennsylvania.
He has been nominated for the Office by
the Republican party. who are daily
gaining strength in that State. A letter
from highly intelligent gentlemen of
Meadvllle, Pa, says:-"Since the for
nation of the new Cabinet, and the
appointment of WALKER and STAN
TON to the most prominent offices in
Kansas by Buchanan, many OF the sup
porters of odd Buck have given in.
To cap all, the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Dred Scott case will
bring large number to the Republi-
can ranks. Gov. Geary's address has
had its influence. I feel pretty sure
that Wilmot will carry the State. His
nomination is everywhere we'll re-
eeived, and our friends will go into the
canvass with great confidence, which
is half the battle"
Let us say to our Republican friends
in the States that we do net despond
of Pennsylvania. though she is highly
conservative. New Hampshire. Maine,
Michigan and Iowa have each been
wrestted, after long contest, from the
ttespoiler. Pennsylvania is daily taking
lessons which will be effective. All
eoncede that Gov. Geary's influence in
Kansas saved that State to Buchanan
last fall. Gov. Geary cannot pre-.
serve his native manliness. and serve
the party with which he has always
acted, any longer. His destiny, from
this time fourth, must be with the par
ty which is laboring to put down mob
misrule, and we do him very great injus'
tice if he is not found battling as man
fully against the sympathisers ofBordel
Ruffians in the States as he was against
the genuine article in Kansas.
We venture the prediction tha
DAVID WILMor will supersede Gov
Pollock in the executive office ii
Pennsylvania, and that he will make
one of the most popular Govern ,r'
that State has ever had.

Law Va. Iuatica

Some interesting developments have
been made in the District Court this
week, which may serve to confound
our friends in the East, in regard to
the administration of Justice in Kan
sss. On last Wednesday the case of
HENDERSON SMALLwooD came mp for
trial. Mr. SMALLwooD has been held
to bail, in heavJ bonds, and his case
has been adjourned over Sc, eral terms
OF Court. When this case was called
up. II. MILES MOORE, counsel for de-
fendant, requested to see copy of the
indistment against his client. But it
could not be found-no indictment or
presentment of any kind, and the sad
ruth appeared that Dir. SAALLwooD
had been arrested anil held to 6oiZ
upon a mere bench ,c0rruRt sckicA eUen
lacked tie signature Of tie clerk ofMe
Court. The counsel for defence was
~ it were thunderstruck at this dis
coveIy, but Immediately moved that
the defendant, with some twenty 9TH
ers whose cases were similar, be dis
charged. Judge LEcoMPTE WINGED under
the exposure of the infamous iniqnity
that had been practiced upon the Free
State men, but was forced to grant
their discharge.
1t now appears that Free State men
Of Kansas have not nnfrequently BEEN
arrested tried and fined on a mere
bench warrant, without being indicted.
Could there be anything more BASTARD
ly than this? 1t is not only viola
ton of all law and Justice, but it is
converting legal tribunals into unholy
agents of injustice shd wrong. tfper-
secution and tyranny. and is another
proof OF the stupeadeas "erime against
Kansas" IN which Judges. and Sena-
tors. and Presidents have been guiiti-
ly involved.
On thursday CALEB May was tried
for usurpation of Office. j E. for acting as
one of the Judges at READER's election.
The defence was ably and skllIully
conducted by Messrs, ,PARRaoTT, MooKE
and-and the trial resulted in yer.
diet of acquittal.
Some other political cases yet re-
main upon the docket, butt is diff
cult TO say when (if every they will
come up, as Judge LEcoArrE is afflicted
with a sort of ofchronic laziness that In.
uerferes materially with any thingliks

This town is located on Potowato-
mie Greek, at the crossing of the
California road, at an old established
point, known as dutch Henry's
Crossing" eight miles from the town
of Osawatomie. The town site is
beautifully located on a rolling prai-
rie. The town is named after Pot6-
watomie chief who is buried upon the
brow of hill on the town site, and
over his remains the Indians have
erected rude monument.
Besides the California road the
Westport road from both forks of the
Potowatomie and the Lawrence road
to Fort Scott, and the Sugar Creeks,
pass this point, and it is destined to
be town of some importance.
The Trustees of the town offer large
inducements to mechanics and others
who viii locate and improve the town.
So says correspondent.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-05-09
Kansas and the Times.

The Times of this morning takes
ground with the Democratic papers
generally that the Free State men in
Kansas have acted very unwisely in
refusing to take part in the consiitu-
tional election. We suspect, however,
that our neighbor would not have
done SO had he not acted on q misap-
prehension of the election law. he
says:
1.-The plea too that if the Fres
Stale men were to take part in the
election, they would sgain be oyers
powered at the polls as in times past
by "border ruffians." would hardly
seem to obtain much ground. fer the
very law which authorizes the people
of that territory to elect delegates to
a Constitu tienal convention. requires
all voters to register their names ;
certain number of days before the
election takes place"
We agree with the Times that II
this is the law that Free State men
have acted very unwisely. But it is
not. The law provides for an ENROLL
ment of legal voters by the tools Of
the legislature, and the agents who
have just completed this swindle have
done their work in such manner as
TO show that the Free State men acted
prudently in washing their hands Of
that-afiair. When the Times under
stands that those men had power to
enroll whom they pleased and that
none except those who were on the
enrollment coald vote at the election,
we think it viii hardly stand to its
opinion. 1t is said that not one thir
OF the Free State men have been en-
rolled while 5000 bogus Missourians
are on the list. The simple fact, tele.
graphed to US the other day, that no
poll was to be opened at Lawrence.
and that the lists had not been post
ed, shows that the whole thing is q
sham, so concocted as to seem fair ON
its face, while it is in fact the vilest
cheat that white men ever undertook
to perpetrate.-1Gledo Biode.
