SALES OF PUBLIC LANDS IN AUSTRALIAN

Victoria seems from the preceding statement to add
vance more rapidly than any of the others. This is
mainly owing to its auriferous deposites, though
from other there is every likelihood that Vic
toria will always remain, as at present the great
central point of the colossal power--whatever may
be its form Of government, which is already rapidly
growing up in that quarter Of the globe AT pres
emf the democratic principle is in the ascendant and

THE LATEST FROM KANSAS.


We copy the following from the St. Louis Republi-
can of the 18th instant
worth on Wednesday afternoon at o'clock, that GOV.
Walker had that day issued proclamation To the people
of Kansas notifying them that he had summoned to his
aid the troops of the United States assist him in
forcing the laws The occasion of the proclamation was
the action of the eeStatc party in pcrssting in giving
practical efficiency to the legislation Of the bogus legsa
ure of Topeka and resisting the collection The
Topeka body had passed laws comforting charters upon
certain towns and bodies with the privilege of electin
mayors, justices of the peace, &c. under them The
tempt TO these charters and the refusal to pay taxes
brought matters to issue at between the free
State party and the constituted authorities of the Ter
ritory. Governor Walker met the emergency in
proper spirit proclaimed his intention to maintain
and enforce the laws collect the taxes and as preca
ton ordered out the troops Of the United States station
ing them at Lawrence He pronounces the course OF the
free State party reasonable calling upon all its adheren
to aid in the enforcement of the laws and maintaining
the public peace assuring all that in of obedience
the past shall be forgotten"
The proclamation of Gov. Walker spoken Of in
the above, will be found in another part of the paper
this morning,
Since the above was in type we have intelligence
from Topeka of as late date as the 10th The con-
vention had adjourned, after it had avowed its deter
mnation that Kansas should be admitted into the
Union under the bogus Topeka State convention.

TO THE PEOPLE OF LAWRENCE.
PROCLAMATION.

LEAvENwoRTH, July Is, 1857.
have learned that considerable number of the ct-
of Lawrence in this Territory have adopted they
claim by popular vote charter for their local govern
ment A copy of that charter has been placed in my
hands upon comparing which with that granted by the
territorial legislature last winter find that they differ
Intentionally in many essential particulars The new
charter then, is set up not only without any authority
of law but in direct and open defiance of act of the
territorial legislature on the same subject.
On this point your committee whose views have been
adopted by you make the following statement
Under ordinary circumstances the regular meth
cd of proceeding would be to obtain charter from the
territorial authorities. AS the territorial government
however in represents the people of Kansas
not elected by them and can have right to legis-
late for them cannot accept of charter at its hands
And the State government has not as yet deemed
advisable to proceed to the organization of local and
nicpa governments, cannot obtain charter from it,
There is therefore left only the alternative Of char
ter sprngng directly from the people, continuance
in our present unorganized condition.
Under these circumstances, you have fit to in
struct to present charter having discussed its prov
sions in preliminary assembage, and propose to
submit it to full vote of the people for approval or re-
lection
1t will be perceived that the authority of the territorial
government is here distinctly denied and whilst that
of the socaled State government is acknowledged il is
conceded that charter has been granted by them In
deed, it is fact that, although this soced State gov
eminent has in itself legal existence authority vet
you asked and failed to receive charter from them
Under these circumstances you have proceeded to es
tabish government for the city Of Lawrence in direct
defiance of the territorial government and denying its
existence authority You have granted to this city
government tho authority to elect mayor and board
OF aldermen city assessors treasurer justices of the
peace, city marshal, &c. You have granted to the
mayor and board of aldermen most extensive pow
ers including the right to levy and collect taxes upon
real and personal property within the limits of the CITY
whether belonging to residents non-resdents and ali
the other powers usually incident to city government
You have imposed upon all these officers the duty of
10 al
thus distinctly supeseding far in your power the
territorial government created by the Congress of the
United States You have caused these proceedings to be
printed in handbi FORM and have distributed them as
am informed, throughout the Territory with the view
to nce the other cities towns and counties of Kansas
TO establish insueconary governments thereby placing
the people OF this Territory, far in your power in
open conflict with the of the United States

Randall w. MacGayock, esq, of Nashville, before

abroad, his travels connected with his ready
