Rules of the Indian Country.

By.an advertisement in the Westport, No,
Star Of Empire, we see that lot of cattle
taken up in Kanzas are to be disposed of in
that place, after the ''rules of the Indian
country unless the owners thereof come
forward and do something. Now we must
confess we are good deal in the dark about
all this. This process may be very fine and
according to some rule of antiquity that may
have come down from Moses; but there are
few things we would like to know. First,
why these cattle should not have been ad
vertised in Kanzas rather than in Wesiport?
Second. why the Border Rufians should
moi apply 10 Border Rufian Kanzass law. af
ter they have been at the trouble of making
it, instead of some unheard of Indian "rule"
and thirdly, why they should persist in re-
garding KanEas as an Indian country
We are not antiquarian enough to inves-
tigate these .sIn1ian rules" but If cattle
taken up under them are treated in The same
way as cattle taken in Kanzas from Free
State men by Aforesaid persons from
"Westport," then we would close this by
adding new section to our Liturgy: From
The rules of the Indian country good Lord
deliver usp'

Just as ne were going to press We re-
ceived the Welcome intelligence that rosing
precincts hare been established at tie same
places IN kk;s Disfriet that acre established
for the State election. These are as follows:
Emporia, Cory's, on the Cottonwood, and
Yeakly's, on the Neosho. This result is
mainly due to the exertions of Messrs. II.
S. Storrs and Fl. w. Flick. of this place.
We do not know how regular the proceed
ing has been, nor do We care. We shall be
able to poll large vote. Turn out, at the
various precincts, and let US show our

The Election.

As election day approaches, the anxiety
felt in regard to the result increases. This
arises from the magnitude of the interests
involved, and the INSCRIPTIONS character
of our opponents, in whose hands we are
placed The ''Democracy' have marshal
led their forces in and out of the Territory.
and are awaiting the result with conf
dence which the certainty of success alone
can give. Their bona tide vote will be much
larger than has been generally supposed,
and the fraudulent vote will doubtless be
large enough to complete their triumph
Party ties and affiliations are strong. a
majority of the Buchanan Democrats who
have come to Kanzas this year will vote
with the Nationals of Kanzas at the
coming election. They cannot be brought
TO recognize the true issue of Slavery or
Freedom 1t is Democracy" or 'Black
Republicauism,' with them. These things
combined with the viIlainous apportionment
make the future look dark. There are rays
of hope but they are faint. Let us do our
whole duty, and be prepared TO prove all the
frauds practised and resist to the bitter
end all power growing out of them.

near Mr.. Yeakley's on the Neosho, to nom
inate County officers. We do not know
from whence the call emanate1, nor is it
material. The notice has been pretty ex-
tensively circulated, and we presume The
Convention well attended. Ii Will have ac-
complished its work, and adjourned, before

Good Enough for Him.

The editor of the Doniphan Constitu-
tiOn0list, (pro-slavery) took the name Of
Gov. Ransom down from the head of his
columns as candidate for delegate to Con-
gress, on account of his (Ransom's) "AbO-
li'ion'" proclivities. But since that time
Ransom has made a speech at Donipban,
which has re-established him in the good
graces of the ConstitutiOnaEist. The Editor
says that Ransom is pro-slGvery enough for
him, and thereupou hoists his name again.
All the pro-slavery papers in Kansas now
support Ransom, with the exception of The
.Tecun,seh Note Book. which would prefer
Clark, Emory or Stringfellow.

Gen. Calhoun, in accepting the Presiden-
cy of the Lecompton Constitutional Conven-
ton, expressed himself in favor of sub
mission of the instrument to be framed by
them to a vote of the people for ratification
or rejection. If we ever had any hopes that
a sense of Justice would lead that Conyen-
ton to submit their Constitution to full
and fair rOte Of all tie people Of Kanzas,
it was dispelled the moment we learned that
Gen. Calhoun publicly favored such meas
ure. The bitterest and most uncompromi-
sing of the opponents of the Free State men,
he has recommended and endorsed the most
arocious acts of the Border Ruffians in
Kanzas. Never for moment has his hate
for the Free State men relenIed. 4 North
ern pro-slavery man, his whole career in
Kanzas has been one of servile devotion to
the interests of the slave power. He has
proved his conversion genuine. When We
hear the hypocriuc cant of such men in re-
gard to the ri hts of the people, and pro-
pose to do them an act of justice which these
same men have been instrumental In with
holding for years, we look for trickery and
fraud. The most stupendous frauds have
oeen committed here in the name of the
people and their day has not passed. The
Lecompton Constitution viii never be sub
mitted 10 full and fair vote of The whole
people. The pro-slayery men well know
that It would be almost unanimously voted
down. They VIII never be tie instruments
of their own defeat and just so long as
fraud viii give them the aseendancy here.
they viii resort to it. They have no fears
of the Federal Government, and under its
protective influence they viii make still more
efforts to accomplish their triumph in Kan

Rsilrcad Meetings at Butler and JEFF
erson CITY. Mo.


The Convention held at Butler. No.. on
the 9Th inst, to take into consideration the
propriety of Railroad from Jefferson City
10 Emporia, was well attended, and enthu-
siastic, and fixed determination was exhib-
tied TO carry the enterprise through to =
speedy completion W. F. II. Army, OF
Hyatt, Kanzas, on the proposed route, was
appointed to visit Washington City next
winter, and endeavor to obtain from Con-
gress grant of land for the purpose OF
building the road John S. Phelps, Mem
Der of Congress from Southwestern Mis-
souri,, was also connected with Mr.. Army to
petition for the establishment of mail route
over the line of the proposed Railroad.
4 similar meeting was also held at Jeffer-
son City a few days after. with the most
gratifying results. The proposition for the
construction of a Railroad from that point
to Emporia, met with a hearty Welcome
The Jefferson City Land Company, the Pa
cife Railroad Co., the editors and the peo-
pie, all gave ii cordial reception IL had been
feared that opposition would be met with
from the Pacific R. R. Company, but con-
trary to expectation, this Company, through
its agents, joined in earnestly pressing upon
the citizens of jefferson City the immense
advantages which would result to them from
the construction of this road through South
ern Missouri and Kanzas. General Price,
their principal agent there. spoke to this eff
feet He called upon Cole county to arouse
herself in this matter, ard secure the ter
minus of so important route, else it would
be likely to connect with the Pacific road at
some point farther West
Other speakers followed, all urging the
great importance of heroa1, and the neces-
sity of speedy action in regard TO it. Ii
will thus be seen that the ''ball is moving
in the right direction. All the intermedi-
ate towns along the route in Missouri and
Kanzas are full of spirit and determination
in regard to the movement. The first step
in the accomplishment of this enterprise
Will be to procure the establishment OF mail
route over the line, which we think will be
done by the next Congress. This will give
us increased facilities for communication
along the line, and is, in fact, indispensable.
The next thing will be to obtain a grant OF
land from Congress for the construction OF
the road. We have great faith in the poten-
CIV of Missouri influence at Washington,
and indulge in strong hopes that grant OF
land will be obtained This will render the
construction of the road at an early day,
certain.
The importance of this road to Central
and Southern kanzas, will be immense. II
is just what is needed to develop the nigh
" resources of these rich valleys; and I'M
til it is accomplished their growth will be in
sad dispropoFtion to their natural wealth.
