The above statement is of the same
character with thousand other tales
which an eager press to publish Kansas
news in advance of all other sources, is
constantly seeking. 1t is simply false,
and S. Y. WooD is not under 'sarrest," nor
is he ''bound over" as the paragraph as
serts. We hope our readers viii learn to
make great deal of allowance whenever
they read such representations in regard
to the people of Kansas, for in nine cases
out of ten they are wholly false. and mi

Annexed viii be found the Legislative
apportionment, made In pursuance of law
by the Speaker of the House and Presi-
dent of the Council. If this apportion-
ment was not made by the Governor of
the Territory, on or before the first of juno.
1857, the duty was devolved by law on
the above named officers. This new law
with others, was sent, as required by law,
TO the city of st. Louis TO be printed in
pamphlet form, and no copy reached Gov.
Walker until about the middle of June,
when his power to make the apportion-
ment had ceased, nor did he know till then
of its existence. At sthe earliest moment
he sent copy of the law to the proper
officers, and the result of their action is
given below. The Apportionment was
received by Gov. Walker on Saturday,

This is another scheme of the border
ruflian party to rob the people of their
freedom. We have read of the villainy OF
partisans in the States who have made
apportionments to subserve party ends.
In Pennsylvania, but few years ago, it
will be remembered by many, that the
Democratic party, then in the ascen-
dency in the State, SO Gerrymandered
it,.or to secure to themselves, as they sup
posed, the election of every representa-
tive to Congress. The result was, that in
stead of a triumph the Wings elected
nearly all the members, and that with
maiorities, usually of but few hundred.
In this apportionment, tits evident those
who made it designed to control the cleo
tions by importing votes from Missouri.
OF the Council Districts all but one are
bounded on Missouri, and that one is but
very little remote from the border. These
districts are not even made upof contig-
uous territory, but in some instances is
more than fifty miles separated from each
other. The reader can only get a good
idea of the policy by a reference to a map
with the counties indicated on it. Rec
Thomas johnson, the President of the
Council, is the areh-scoundrel in this
transaction, and if man ever deserved
death for political transaction it is he,
for this gross outrage upon the rights of
the people.
Gov. WALKER promised US ''fair and
impartial election" In the name of JUS
tice we ask him how he expects we can
get it with such damnable apportion-
ment staring us in the face? -
If the Governor will examine the law
under which that apportionment is made
he will observe that several provisions in
it have been grossly violated. He must
feel that he owes it to himself as man
of truth to treat that apportionment as a
nulity, and proceed to make another. We
have consented to go into the election in
October, as has the great mass of the
Free State party, in view of Gov. Walkers
promise to see that justice is done us. We
are conscious that fair apportionment
cannot be made, because of the yillainy
which characterized the taking Of the
census; but it is not necessary that twen-
ty counties should be huddled together
to make eight representatives; neither is
it necessary that pains should be taken
to bound all the distiicts on Missouri or
make it easily accessible to voters from
that State.
Coz. Walker, if he designs to retain
his position for fairness in this TERRITORY,
win not, IS he loves his own good fame,
allow this outrage upon rs who have been
placing confidence in his promises, to pass
without redress. He should review
that apportionment, and in a prociana-
ten to the people show up the fraud. and
make new one which viii have some
show of justice about it. Until we are
satisfied he viii notdo so we shall make
no further comments on the case.
