The difficulties encountered in Kan
sas in getting up good buildings may be
judged of in some degree by the statement
that, G. w. Collamore has brought into
Lawrence over S2o0 600 worth of pine lum-
Der from Boston, via New Orleans. He
has the best quality of doors and sash,
brought in boxes. The sash are glazed
and have come through without the least
damage. Workmen Of ali kinds are in
great demand and exact enormous wages.

Oxford Precinct.

This is town about twelve miles
south of Westport, on the State line
That part ofthe town in Missouri is call
ed Little Santa Fe. The part in Kansas
is called Oxford. A voting precinct was
established in Oxford, as was supposed,
for the accommodation of Missouri. How
ever that may be, but few took advan-
tage oft. a messenger from Lawrence.
who remained there all day on Monday,
till within twenty minutes of closing the
polls, reports only SS votes, and all of them
pro-slavery. He saw one boy vote, whom
hejudged to be about 16 years old. Also
a coach load of gentlemen, who drove in
from Missouri, and voted, and then turn
ed and drove back into the State again.
In a precinct on the border, without a
Free State voter in it, and no person to
object, the pro-slayery party polled only
88 votes. This speaks volumns for the
change of public sentiment in Missouri.

this county has gone Free State, but we
doubt it. Doniphan, Brown. Nemaha,
Marshall, Pottawatomie, Riley, and all
that Territory West of Marshall, Riley
and Davis counties, forms the fourth Coun-
Gil District. with two Cocncilmen; this
cannot be else than Free State. There
viii be fraudulent returns from Marshall
county, but they viii be purged if neces-
sarv. and the Free State candidates get
certificates. Jefferson aud Calhoun coun-
ties forms the fifth District with one Coun-
Gilman. The returns from those counties
render it certain that the Free State can
didate is elected. Douglas and johnson
counties form the sixth District, with three
Couucilmen: the returns have settled the
question for this District In favor of the
Free State party. Shawnee, Richardson,
Davis. Wise, Breckenridge, Bourbon, God
frey. Wilson, Dorm, McGee, Butler, Hum
ter. Greenwood, Madison, Weller, Coffey,
Woodson, and Allen counties, form the
ninth District with two Councilmen,
who are Free State. Anderson, Lykins,
Linn, and Franklin counties, with all that
part of the Territory which lies West ol
Wise, Butler, and Hunter, constitutes the
tenth District, with one Councilman, who
is Free State. This gives us ten out Of
the thirteen Councilmen.
OF the Representatives our figures give
us twenty-seven out of the thirty-nine
elected.
How many counties may be rejected
by Mr.. Stanton, in giving certificates, We
don't know. We trust he will not labol
to suppress the popular voice in the mex
Legislature. If he does SO an appeal vii
be made to Congress, and so powerfully
backed up by facts, that the whole Legis
lature, with the act on which they claim
to stand may be swept into oblivion
Even a Democratic Congress may have
decency enough to blot out the frauds
upon the people Of Kansas, if they ar
too gross.
We hear of no violence on election da,
save at the Lawrence and LeaTenwortl
precincts. At Leavenworth, some person
tits said, attempted to dispense with swear
ing in his vote by exhibiting his revolver
but he gained nothing by his buster
Here there was an unfortunate difficulty
owing to Mr. SYKES, the pro-slavery can
dicate, being at the polls. We canno
learn that he interfered with the election
in the least, as was claimed and the affai
is greatly to be regretted, as its tendenc.
can only be TO give our town an intoier
ant character abroad. We hope the tim
will never come when pro-slavery me
cannot walk the streets of Lawrence wit
as great safety as any other town in tn
nation. We would seek to convince ou
opponents of their error by an appeal
their Judgment, not by a resort to physi
cal force.

LAwRExeE. Kansas. Sept. II. 1857.


Gov. WALKER passed through our town
yesterday on his way to Lecompton, and
stopped an hour or twowith G. w. BRowN,
of the Herald Of Freedom, but the inhabi-
tants outside of BRowN's Office had no
communion with him.
Such is the commencement of letter
in the New York Times, over the signature
of Randolph, which, to the initiated. reads
Fm. Hutchinson. Because Gov. WALKER
called at our Office, and we treated him
with that gentlemanly consideration due
the Executive of the Territory, the dis
tinguished position he has occupied in
the past, and his own courteous and gen.
tlemanly demeanor, it must be made the
subject of base inuendo.
1t may be crime in us to treat Gov.
WALKER with respect; it may be crime
for him to call at the Herald of Freedom
Office, but we do not believe it will be so
considered by gentlemen who know what
is due from one gentleman to another.
''The inhabitants outside of BRowN's
office had 10 communion with him.
All, there's the rub. The secret is out.
Brown has so conducted himself as to
enjoy the good viii of even Gov. Walker.
True, he has differed from him, and has
repeatedly expressed that difference in his
journal, as he viii continue to dc; but he
has not joined with some of the Kansas
correspondents in lying him down, neither
has he acted the part of surly dog, and
growled at every act of the Governors
that did not coincide with his own views.
The idea is conveyed in the above that
no person in Lawrence but Brown would
hold communion with the Governor.
On the contrary. Gov. Walker has very
many warm, active friends in Lawrence
Free State men, and even Republicans.
Some of them, and most of them in fact
differ with him politically, but they nev-
ertheless delight in meeting the Governor
and very many of them have expressed q
wish to us to make his personal acquain-
tance, and will do so the first favorable
opportunity.
Fault-fnding and censure requires less
talent than any other to conduct a news
paper, hence the ease with which "Ran-
dolph'' even, throws his contemplate
inuendos at u.s. The author of Randolph
is the same gentleman who branded near
ly one-half of the population of Lawrence
few weeks, ago with being National
Democrats, rowdies, and drunkards.''

THE R PRINTERS.

Learned themselves, and engaged in printing
from ancient and classical manuscripts, they were
associates Of the first literary characters
of the tme-indeed, in the infancy OF printing,
and long afterwards, the occupation was considered
highly honorable, and was only undertaken by
well educated persons. 1t became the glory OF
the learned to be known as correctors OF the pres.
to literary printers-physicians, lawyers, bishops
and even pUpes themselves, occupied this depart
ment; their names were mentioned on the copies
as cprrectors OF the press, and the editions were
valued accordingly.
When Sweynbeim and Pannartz were invited to
set up IL press at Rome, they we're encouraged by
all the men of letters there, and the Pope himreli
visited their printing house, and examined with
admiration every branch of the new art. The
bishop of Aleria furnished them with the most
valuable manuscripts out of the Vatican and other
libraries, and also prepared the copy, corrected
The proofs, and pretxed dedicatiuns and prefaceS|
to their wurks-Pete Ceniui Of Florence invariably
compared and corrected his editions Of the Clas-
sizes with the most ancient manuscripts. The
Archbishop of Tours, in l496, established the first
press in his own palace at Tours. The Spirns,
l496, at Venice, surf rised all other printers in the
beauty and symmetery of their types and the
elegance of their impressions, which render their
editions admirable and esteemed. For cOrrectOrs
they had two OF the most learned men of the age

The notion was that a telegraphic cable must be

THE GROWTH OF MACHINERY.

Emerson, in his English Traits has a striking
and curious chapter on the above subject, from
which we extract the following:
"'Ti. a curious chapter in modern history, the
growth of the machine shop. Six hundred years
ago, Roger Bacon explained the precision of the
equinuxes, the consequent necessity Of the reform
