TOBACCO CROP IN KENTUCKY.-The Lou
isvle Journal fortifes its opinion OF favorable state
of rhe crops in Kentucky by the following from the
Clarksville Chronicle:
Tobacco is the crop about here, however, and it
absvrbs nearly every other interest in our agrcul.
,ure. month ago the chsnces were pretty well
balanced between a crop and no crop Of this delec-
tails weed. The esrly plants were mostly destroyed
in the beds by FROST and it became evident that
SOW would put the planting AZ 40 late date as 20
render the curing of fair average crop impossible.
EHs, it was said there were no plants left, and no
more ssed; but it was SOON found that there was
isrse quantity of plants left, and plenty Of seed.
Then 1.-THE sun was drying up all the young plants;
bot RICH, on thu heels Of this lamentation came CO.

none could be planted before July and that was too

Of ne plants in the country, the sea-ons have been

tio will have been set out, OF good, thrifty plants,
aod with ordinarily favorable seasons 10 the time OF
maturity, there will be in this and tue surrounding
country larger crop of tobacco than was ever made
before. Such is our honest conviction, based on in.
teigeuce from all directions Of the tobacco growing
action.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN TREATY.-ln
poRrANr.-Ths London Post organ OF Lord Palmer
s.ou has rather significant article or Cont, al Ameri'
can affairs in which doubts whether the Clayton.
Bui.,f convention can be reckoned among existing
tnngs any than the recently repua:ated Dallas
Clarendon treaty." On more than one occasion the
articles 10 the Post have foresnadOwed the policy OF
the British government with reference to Central
American affairs, and this one, in particular merits
attention. 1t also states that negotiations are still in
progress. and anticipates that Lord Napier will sue
ced in settling the question to the satisfaction Of both
na:ons. II adde, however:
'-rhe Queen, as the sovereign Of the magnificent
province or Canada ia the second power on the con.
;:nent OF North America and in that capacity che has
an undoubted right to oppose not only every possible
enforcement Of the Monroe doctrine but that gradual
extension of the Of slavery which appears to be
the suicidal aud insane policy OF considerable por.
lion Of the American psope. The loss of the Buwer-
Clayton convention, of the Honduras convention,
ana of the Clarendon Dallas treaty, will be amply
compensated if England should now have the happi,
ness to save Central America from the infction OF
that domestic institution equally abhorreut to the
ls~s of God and man. which is tho plague spot-the
damaosa hered,tas--of the people Of the United
States"

Getting UnAzsv

The pro-slarery papers are very denun-
ciatory OF our platform, which we pub
lished two weeks ago. They see in it the
end of their administration in Kansas
and are already laboring to excite the
the faithful to still further efforts to retain
power. To these we can only say: "Gen-
tlemen, we have allowed you to commit
ali sorts of excuses upon us in the past;
but We don't intend to be directed by so
small portion as you arc, in the future.
We expect to take the government of
Kansas de .facte into our own hands, and
administer it for the protection of the bona
file settlers, and to the exclusion of inter-
ference in our Territorial affairs by resi-
dents of neighboring States. In short, we
expect to inaugurate the reign of law and
order under the organic act, and prevent
anarchy from controlling our affairs in the
future. We shall do it. Mark that!''

City Orsapizatioa.

An article in our last issue, was con-
strued by some of our friends in town as
favorable to an independent municipal
organization in this city. 1t was not so
intended by us, as we believe such an Or
ganization will inevitably bring us into
collision with the Territorial authorities.
1t can do no good, because those needing
the restraints Of la,0, will not be governed
by anything short ofLAw. 1t will do evil,
because it will drive the lawless into the
Territorial Courts TO redress real or fancied
wrongs. The people of Kansas, both in and
out of Lawrence, desire peace, and no ele-
mentS should be introduced among us, the
tendency of which is to hasten a contro-
versy which it is the interest of all men to
avert.
There are many persons who are con-
nected with the Territorial authorities, who
are anxious to involve us in strife, and
who will seek every pretence in their pow
er to bring on a collision. Let us disap-
point them by giving them no opportunity
to assail us. The friends of freedom will
have every thing their own way, if let
alone. The ship of State is drifting n o
asafe port. Let us continue on JOayd till
we reach our destination, without endan-
gering the craft or hazarding our own lives,
by getting up mutiny, just as We are
entering the harbor.

Another nsxrn.ner Rouah. n.


The n. 7. Courier and Enquirer is one
of the ablest Republican newspapers in
the United States, edited by j. WATSON
WEBB, whose reputation as Journalist is
worldwide. The editor has at last fallen
into the same error which the masses of
Kansas has fallen into, to wit: that it will
not be crime TO vote under bogus author
ity, for the purpose of defeating further
bogus legislation. The editor remarks
"'When man is robbed of a trife on
the highway, it is not the twopence lost
that constitutes the capital outrage saws
Burke; nor does the re-gaining of the
money repair the wrong. Yet it is a
fair question whether under existing ci.-
cumStances III Kansas, the Free State
men might not, for the sake of peace
and regular government, under a protest
if they like, take part in popular vote
ordained by civil body whose validity
they do not recognize. Tie French Re-
publicans in voting under a Constitution
which is an usurpation, do not consider
themselves as thereby sanetioning the
coup d'etat from which it sprang.
We suppose that Col. Webb, for that
expression of opinion, will be read ont of
the Republican ranks, if the influence of
the Kansas letter-writers can avail any,
thing.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-07-18
Mean,

The Kansas letter writers have been
bitter upon Gen. LANE and Gen. PoMERoY
for their connection with buying out Don
iphan and Atehison. Our own opinion
has been that Lane and Pomeroy did more
in those two business transactions to close
the OPPOSITION to the Free State movement
from the pro-slavery party, than any 9TH
movement inaugurated for many months
i'll Kansas. We think the same still, and
instead of joining with envious persons in
denouncing these men, we would award
them our assurances of approval, and wish
them much success in their enterprise
The ConStitationalist, pro-slavery paper
published at Doniphan, speaking of the
slle of the Sqaqtter SSoce,eig,a to PoMERoy
and McBRATNEY, says
1t is to be regretted by the whole pro-
slavery party. The sale of that paper has
injured the cause more than the sale of
every pro-slayery town in Kansas"
And yet Gen. Pomeroy is denounced
for sleeping with Stringfellow," as sur
rendering to the slave power" as "a fawn-
ing sycophan,," and other equally obnox-
ious epithets.

wyando,t and Delaware.

Persons visiting Kansas from the East
by the way of the Missouri river, should
leave the steamer at Wyandott or Della
ware city, if they wish to come to Law
renee or any point west, south, OF north
west of this place. Stages leave each of
those places at O'Clock in the morning
for Lawrence. The fare from Wyandott
is $500, from Delaware, $3.50. Tickets
should, in ali cases, be bought in St. Louis
for Delaware, as they cost 10 more than
to Wyandott. In case the traveller arrives
at Wyandott at II O'Clock or even as late
as 8 O'Clock in the morning, he can keep
his berth till he gets to Delaware, and thus
save the additional expense for hotel ac-
commodations, and yet reach Lawrence
as soon as though he stopped at Wyan-
dott. Freight should in all cases be con-
signed to Delaware. 1t is at least ten
miles nearer Lawrence than Wyandott
and FIVE miles nearer than any ether place
On the Missouri river. The landing is
excellent and our principal business men
are shipping their goods to that point.

cooa rr.z. from sra.hinr,oa.

The Washington Union published an
article few days ago, stating that the po-
sition of Gov. WALKEB in Kansas was
not endorsed by the President, and init
mating that his removal from Office would
follow as mater of course. The Re-
publican press Immediately took up the
matter. and, as in Gov. Geary's case, be-
gan to show that Gov. Walkers policy
was right, and if he had been left alone the
freedom of Kansas would have followed
as the result. No sooner had long leaders
gone forth vihdicating Gov. Walker than
the following telegraph dispatch was sent
TO all portions of the country, thus placing
our Republican cotemporaries in the rery
a,ck7oard dilemma of sustaining the policy
of the Administration. The dispatch
reads as follows:
''The article in the Union this morning
on Kansas affairs, is an authorized EXPOSE
ton of the views of the administration on
that subject, and as intimated in last
nights dispatch, fully sustains Gov. Wal
ker's course in advising the submission of
the constitution to the vote of the people,
and defends him from Southern attacks -
The ST. Louis Integligencer, commenting
on this despatch, remarks:
at will be seen from this that Mr.. Bu-
chanan distinctly assumes the responsible
ty of Robt. J. Walkers acts and policy
in Kansas, and resolves TO maintain them.
This policy of Walker requires the SUBJ
mission of the Constitution about to be
framed, to vote of the ichole people of
Kansas, and ayows that the President and
his administration will oppose it unless
this is done. This is amply declaring in
favor of making Kansas Free State; for
the simplest fool in the West knows that
no pro-slavery Constitution will ever be
adopted by the people of Kansas
Since the Republican journals of the
North have spoken in appreciation of this
same policy for which we have been de-
nounced as traitor to our party, we trust
we may be permitted to pursue the even
tenor Of our way from this forth, without
moleStation.

California Criminals Abroad

\ gentleman at Leavenworth the other
day-a returned Californian-said he had
recognized in Kansas several persons who
were driven out of California by the cele-
brated Vigilenoe Corinittcr. Gamblers,
thieves, burglars and horse thieves are all
around us, and no mans property is safe
from the depredations of these villains.
Make as much ridieule as we may of the
statement, there are any number of men
here who dare not keep horses, apprehen-
siye they will be stolen, while others pay
twenty-five cents a night, besides furnish
ing feed for their animals, to have them
stabbed, to keep them away from the
thieving gentry. Every person caught
running Of with aHothe', horse shou d
besides being whippd and having h head
shaved, as was done at BIanton's Bridge
recently, should be branded with II. 7. on
each cheek, and in aggravated cases it
would be well to burn the same letters on
his forehead that all persons may reccog-
nize the Horse Thief wherever found
This penalty inflicted few times, would
break up crime in Kansas. 1t would be
more effective than prisons or the halter.

rusa, on Saturday last, where it is report
ed they were thrown after being murdered
for their money. A coroner's inquest was
held upon their bodies, but no facts were
eii-itcd to show who the persons were, or
who committed the crime. One of the
murdered men was supposed to be about
sixty Years of age, the other appeared
considerably younger In the pocket of
one of them was found a letter from
