and enjoys reputation as a family news
paper, second to none. A rare punctual-
ity has characterized this paper. having
never failed in its regular weekly issue
once in the long period Of thirty six
years. Like an old and true friend, it
presents the same face and name which
many, now comparatively old, were re-
joiced in the earlier and doubtless happier
years Of their life. Among the many able
and regular contributors to the Post, are
William Hewitt, Alice Carey. T. S. Ar
-thnr, Grace Greenwood, Anna Blackwell,

son, Emma Alice Bsowne, DC, &C., to
which are added foreign correspondence,
current news, and choice selections, from
the best foreign and domestic Magazines.
Each number is embellished with one or
more spirited engravings. The Post as

!. o. 0. Eve have been frequently
asked, by members of the Order. and by
persons anxious to become members,
when a Lodge of Odd Fellows will be
organized here? A meeting was held last
Summer, for the purpose Of considering
the matter; but as all was hustle and
excitement, every one being engaged in
business or speculation, which occupied
all his time, it was thought advisable to
defer the matter until Winter. But now
there is not a suitable room for the pur-
pose in town, which is unoccupied. If q
room can be prepared for meeting purpo-
ses, Lodge will be organized towards
the latter part of the Winter; but if not,
it will have to be deferred until sometime
in the Summer. when there will be a
suitable room. A building will be put
up, in the Spring, the third story Of
which will be finished up expressly for a
Lodge Room. Early in the Spring, a
number of members of the Order will also
emigrate here, who will assist us, and
thereby make the expense necessary to
start new Lodge. much lighter upon
each one.

PARTISAN Observation-Disclosures
is every day assuming a more dirty and
disgraceful character, and is in fair way
to destroy even sociability or business
intercourse between persons belonging to
different political parties. The Cleveland
Plain Dealer, and a number of other Ohio
Democratic papers, opposed the recent
Thanksgiving in that State. and spoke oil
it in terms amounting to blasphemy, be-
cause the day was appointed by Gov.
Chase In some of the Southern States,
the Governors refused to appoint day
of Thanksgiving, because it is Yankee
custom If preacher commits some
disgraceful act, he is heralded as Black
Republican hypocritical ranter. II mob
occurs, OF murder takes place, the Know
Nothings are abused for it. If seduction,
a robbery, defalcation, a swindle, or any
other act of rascality is committed, the
politics of the offender is almost sure to
DO stated. Truly, we have fallen upon
degenerate times

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Northern
Democratic papers which have attached
themselves to the kite-tail of the Wash
ington Union, and whose editors sneeze
when the President takes pinch Of snuff,
are coming round most obsequiously into
The advocacy of the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution, as
submitted by the Convention. And to
hide the cheat therein attempted, they
resort to Misrepresentation, and keep their
readers in ignorance Of the real character
Of the document. They copy that por-
tion Of the section of the Schedule, which
says tina. the Constitution shall be SUBJ
mitted to a vote of the people, and there
they stop. They take care to omit the
concluding portion of the section, which
says how it shall be submitted, thus COM
pletely destroying the meaning of the
portion which they publish. They then
declare that it is everything fair and hon
orable. and is exactly the manner in which
ell the Free State Constitutions were
submitted, and point their readers to the
garbled section, as proof Of their asser-
ton. Then they fly off into TRADE of
abuse Of the Black Republicans, charging
theme 18th desiring to keen up agitation,
and determination to oppose all meas
ures for the settlement of the Kansas
troubles. Not only Republicans, but
Americans and Buchanan Democrats, are
stigmatizsd as Black Republican Agita-
tors, because they will not consent to have
an indignity forced upon them, by band
Of usurpers whose authority they have
never recognized. The excuse of these
papers for this dishonorable course is,
that they do not want to coalesce with
the Black Republicans. Perhaps it is for
che same reason that so few Democrats
are on their way to Heaven-they have
heard that some Black Republicans will
be there, and do not wanttO coalesce with
them
But the leading Democratic. papers
Of the North still speak out for the
only Just policy. The following bold
declaration from the Philadelphia Press,
edited by Col. Forney, and endorsed by
the Chicago Times. the organ of Senator
Douglas, looks ominous for the usurpers:
A PREDIcuoS.-Forncy's Press. nor
any other press, says the Chicago Times,
ever uttered words more pointed. truth
fnl and emphatic, than the following<
1.-THE public man who falters in this
issue, seals his doom. The Northern
Democrat who trieste make the Conven-
ton of Kansas superior to the people,
and who advises that the Constitution
shall not go to them for endorsement
or rejection, FINISHES Hs CAREER FOR

EgWe believe there was an election

~We believe there was an election
held on Monday, by the Pro-Slavery par
ty, to vote in favor of making the people
of Kansas be governed by a Constitu-
ton which they had no hand in making.
but We have not yet seen any person who
was there. There are a few Pro- Slavery
Democrats about here, but they claim to
be Democrats in the literal meaning Of
the term, and have declared that they do
not countenance such Democracy IS IA

gard to a document gotten up in that

whether any Free State men remained in

~From reading some of the papers,
during the session of the late Constitu-
tional Convention, we were lead to be-
lieve that about three fourths of the mem
bers were Know-Nothings. No doubt a
majority of them knew precious little;
but we have just examined a list of the
members, with their past and present
politics, professions, &C.. and anxiously
looked for the names of the Know Moth
ings. We found Democrats, Wings.
Fire Eaters, Nullifers, and Disunionists;
but, contrary to orr expectations, VIC
found not a single name of member Of
the Know Nothing party. nor of any that
had heretofore been one! Some people
are haunted by Know Nothings, sleeping
or waking.

GIvrxo AWAY Tows Lers.-Within a
few days past, we have heard an almost
incessant talk about the liberality Of
Town Company on the river, in giving
away town lots, or. selling them for one
dollar each, in order to make it a legal
transaction. 1t is even predicted again,
that White Cloud will be completely
thrown into the shaded But we do not
anticipate that the people Of White Cloud
will be frightened out Of town at the
prospect. If town have such induce
ments to draw settlers, as q good site
should have, there is no necessity for
giving away lots. as an inducement to
get people to live in it; for it is in the
bargain, in the town referred to, that all
who thus receive lots, have to erect houses
upon them within a stipulated time.
The Company know very well that the
greater the number Of houses they can
get built in this way. the more valuable
will become the balance Of their lots, and
in selling them, they will make up for
the ones they give away-thus, while
they appear to be assisting the settler,
the latter is on the contrary enhancing
the value of their property. So they do
not make the offer for the benefit of the
settler, but for their own interest.
Bat giving away lots will not of itself
build up town, nor kill off neighbor-
ing one. About year since, an Eastern
Company Oferedto give away thousand
lots in the City of MelrOse. Iowa, to those
who should first apply, and agree to go
there and live. We believe that the city
of Nelrose is still as destitute of inhabit-
ants as it was the day America was dis
covered-perhaps more sol
To person Of judgment, it is q poor
accommodation Of place, for the pro-
prietors to offer to give away the lots. 1t
leads one to think that the location OF
advantages of such town cannot be the
most favorable, or they would not be
begging Of people to take the lots for
nothing. A town with real advantages
requires no such means to induce people
to settle in it. We would not recommend
to the White Cloud Company the adop-
ton of this plan. 1t would be well, il
any mechanic of small means desires to
locate here, for them to sell him lot al
very low figures, sufficient to make q
reasonable per centage on their Investment
but when lots are given away indiscrimi-
nately, it does not speak well for the
location, and often brings persons whose
presence is neither desirable nor profitable
Persons can no doubt obtain lots here at
very low prices; but they cannot expect
to get lots on the Levee, or in the heart
Of the business part Of town, for the next
thing to nothing.
