How "A PHILADELPHIA TAILOR PAID
Ret ON THE ELEcTIos.-Ssme time be-
fore the late election Southern admirer
of Mr.. Buchanan made bet with his tail
or, a Philadelphian and a Fremonter, on the
result of the election. The bet was suit
of clothes against their value in money
tibet John Charles would carry the day.
The Southern gentleman Of course won
the money. and upon the occasion Of a visit
to the city within few days. the suit Of
clothes was sent home TO him at his hotel.
Now the winner of the bet is wont to be
alfred In tie height Of fashion. and his
surprise may be imagined when it IS stated
tina. the .waggish schneider had sent him =
rull suit of sober drab, cut after the strict
est Quaker fashion. collasless, and with
out ought supeTduous. Thsre had been no
stipulation as to what kiud ola suit was
to be made. and the Southerner began TO
conclude that his tailor had him." after
all. But the recipient OF the garments was
equal to the occasion he mounted the
drabs, and during the early part of the week
people were rather aslonished asseeing in
the streets, at hotels and at the theatres, a
gentleman attired in fplain clothes, = and
wearing moustache ard fashionable
beaver. The Southernor started home en-
"Wednesday. carrying his new clothes away
on his back.

We say come to Kansas and come
quickly. Now is the time to enigrate.-
If you wish to participate il saving this fair
land from the unhely grasp of Black Re-
publicans, whose success would blacken
your country's character and entail disgrace
and misery upon your posterity-disregard
minor considerations and hasten on in order
to land in Kansas Territory by the 18th
of March proximo. Should you not ar
rive by that time, you can have no voice in
the great election which is to decide the
fate of Kansas, Then We say come On,
come speedily. and let US make one grand
efor, to stem the tide OF fanaticism, and
save our common country from impending
ruin.

Missouri Democrat and Surveyor Gen.
eral Calhoun and Receiver Brindle.
In late number OF that traitorous sheet
the Missouri Democrat, sheet that even
the respectable organs of the free States
denouncesfor its treachery to the institu-
lions OF is own State, we find letter
from some narneiess {and oharacterless
re will yenture) correspondent, using the
lowest and West abuse Of the two gen;le-
men above namei. Gen. Calhoun. we
have known since he first landed in our
Territory y, and We can say of him. that a
sounder Democrat more honorable gen
tlemun, or brighter intellect can not be
found in Kansas Territory.
He is man who can fill any honorable
station and reflect credit and honor on
those who impose it upon him. He has
very lately had an official investigation
into his character, and no: one of the ma
ny charges against him was sustained but
he was most cornpl eteiy and triuinphantly
exhonerated from them all.
With Mr. Brindls we have but slight
acquaintance personally but know that his
character as an honorable gentleman is
unimpeaehable. and we are happy In be-
ing able TO bear testimony to the charac-
fer he bears amongst those who know
him best.

Cur Town and County.

+ rom the organization of Kansas, ma
nyfar seeing business men, have looked
upon Atshison as distined 10 be the best
town on the South side of the Missouri
river, above the mouth of the Kaw. And
since the surveys have been made, and
the geographical location of Atchlson be-
come generally known, there is great
rush of emigration this way. Our coun-
ty during the winter, notwithstanding the
severity of the weather. has increased in
population at least fifty per cent-and yet
there is room for many more. No county
IN Kansas possesses as many inducements
to settlers as Atchison. The land is I'M
surpassed in richness of soil, with a rea-
sonable supply Of timber.an an abundance
OF coal, stone, and as pure water as can
be found on the face of the globe,
Atkinson is river county and while it
hasless river front than either Leayenworth
or Doniphan, yet the town of Atchlson
owing to the course Of the river. is nearer
more country in extent and fertility than
any other point on the Missouri river
These important advantages were to some
extent overlooked, until the county was
surveyed and explored. but now they are
beginning to bs appreciated. AT no time
since the location of Atchison, has the
prospects for improvement been half SO
fattering. More lots have changed hands
within the last three months than fot the
two previous years,and over fif.y lots have
been sold to men of capital, who have
obIJ1s@-sd Themselves to erect good build
4ings the coming Spring-seyeral Of our
streets are to be graded and dcAdamized
and the levee greatly enlarged and inn
proved. Brick are to be made and put up
-s,one quarried and lime burned. The
work already under eontract gives every
man employment who will work, a rnechan-
ie, day laborer, field hand or what not
No man is out of employment who will
work, and even now two hundred more
working men can find constant employ
tnent al Aichiscn, al good wages, and the
cash paid down every night.
We would not wilfully deceive any one
and hold out false colors to induce any
one 10 come to our town, but We like to
see business pushed ahead, and we know
that workmen of all sort are greatly need
ed here. and therefore urge all who wish
to better theft condition by enigrating to
new country, whether they are men of
capital, or working men,to come to Atchison
There is no place in the West. where
money or labor bestowed, will pay great
or interest. Town lots are yet cheap and
good claims can still be located, so we
say TO all good citizens who desire to
make money and better their condition, the
sooner you ge, here the better, you need not
be afraid OF disturbances any more ali good
men in the Territory have turned their
attention 10 their true interests.
Sectionaiism of all sorts has been
frowned down-peace and good will no~
prevails among all law abiding citizens,
without regard 10 the country from whence
they bail.
