The Topeka Convention.

We received the proceedings of this body
just as we were going to press. We shall
give them entire next week. The proceed
ings were harmonious and enthusiastic. The
following gentlemen were nominated to fill
the vacancies occurring in the State offices:
Secretary of State-P. c. Schuyler; State
Auditor-G. A. Cutler; Supreme Judges
M. F. Conway and S. n. Latta; Reporter
Supreme Court-E. NJ. Thurston; Clerk
Superior Court-A. G. Patrick
Marcus j. Parrott, of Leavenworth, was
nominated as candidate for Representative
to Congress.
The Convention took strong ground in
favor Of rnaintaining the Topeka Constitu-
tioa. and pressing upon Congress our claims
to be admitted into the Union under it; re-
commended that mass meeting of the peo-
pie of Kanzas be held at Grasshopper Falls.
to take such action as might be necessary
with regard to going into the Territorial
election IN October. under the pledge of Gov.
Walker that the "whole people of Kanzas'
might participate In that election under law
of Congress, and not under the Bogus laws.
One hundred and eighty-seven delegates
were present.

An Inquiry Repeated.

The Herald Of Freedom processes to be a
newspaper; and Gov Robinson's recent
message is deemed matter so important that
1t is being reproduced in the columns of
every widely circulated journal in the North
and East. It processes to be Free State
paper and that message is an official ad-
dress to the Legislature and people of Kan
zas, from the man who was elected to the
highest position they had to bestow, BY a
unanimous vote of the Free State men. But
the Herald .still refrains from publishing
the Message, and from giving any excuse
for the neglect. Let us have the reason.
Is the editor so ashamed of his course that he
IS utterly speechless-or is his attention so
much engrossed by writing anonymous let
ters to himself. and publishing them in the
Herald, that he has no time for other mat
ters - -Quindaro Chindosedn.

France and Her Ruler.

The last Edinburg Review contains an
able analysis of the returns of the French
empire. II shows that the population of
France, during the last five years, has been
stationary, and that while the towns and
cities, Paris above all, have increased in
population, the ruial districts have been
eorrespondingly depopulated. From these
two facts it deduces several important con-
clusions. First, that the mi litary power of
France has reached its acme, as one chief
cause of her great military Importance, here
tofore, has been in the large armies she
could levy from her soil by conscription.
Secondly, that the producing classes of
France are increased while the agricultural
psasantry is decreasing. Hence, the high
price of breadstuffs which has caused the
government, for several years, to feed the
rabble of Paris, partly at its own expense.
Thirdly, that as the population is found to
increase only with the production of a ma
tion, the decline of French agriculture fore
shadows a decline of the numbers and
power of the French people.

oom 10r 1mprovemsns.

There IS a ss5zreat deal of Truth il the fol-
loving article from the Boston 7revsllsss and
We trust that tbe hints given may be ef use.
We havs Ear 100 litsleof the scientific and
practical in cur education. We want 70 see
the day when every town and village will
possess an institution for teaching Scientific
Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. La
Dor should be ennobling and honorable, and
the only way to make it 50 is 10 educate the
-laboTer and make his occupation, no matter
what it may be, an eleyating one on account
of the knowledge to be gained by pursuing
it. Again, the requirement of scientific
knowledge relative to the everyday avoca-
tions of life, viii, by enabling the worker to
invent and improve. lessen materially the
drudgery and disagreeable part of manual
labor:
I'VE in the United States enjoy many ad-
vantages beyond most other nations in the
world; but as there is no individual SO wise
that he may not with advantage learn some
thing from every one, even the humblest,
with whom he has intercourse, so, as a ma
ton, we may learn many things from other
countries, even from those whom we may
consider inferior, in many respects, to our
selves. An American, travelling in Sweden,
writes TO New York paper, that In all the
towns of that country of any considerable
size, there are scientific schools for men and
women who earn their bread by daily toll
The application of science to every day life,
and even the fine arts, receive attention here,
The institution is free, and is attended By
both men and women. The effects have
been very favorable. The laberers and me-
chanics of Sweden are becoming to a greal
extent artistic mechanics and men of sci
ence; and the women, instead of spending
thesr lime in dressing fashionably and gos-
siping, or, what is worse, poring over senti-
mental and trashy romances, make of theiI
kitchens philosophical and chemical labora-
| tories, and attend to their household duties
understandinglv and upon scientific princi-
pies. With all our advantages of education
in New England, we have too little of prac-
tical science applied to every day life, and
presented in a manner to interest the people
in scientific matters. Our vitiated literary
taste, and the little good which all our ex-
tensive reading does US, is manifest in the
vast quantity of trashy and injurious senti-
mentalism and romance upon which much
occupied, to the neglect of the higher pow
ers of the mind, and the active duties and
useful purposes of life.

Ezeltenens in Nebraska--Jndge Lyne,,


after the "Claim Jumpers"
The claim jumping troubles continue in
Nebraska Territory, and the settlers are 70
sorting 10 desperate measures against the
offenders. From an extract of letter Dpb-
lished in Tie Davenpot Gazette, we learn
that on the e6th ult. they had very exci,
ing time at Florence, N. T.,ssome half
dozen men having been arrested, tried and
condemned TO be hung by the settlers. The
writer SAYS:
:. The prisoners were brought up tied to-
gether, tried by the club association. and
condemned Death was the penalty. Ropes
were procured, and I thought for some time
they were sure to be hung according to SEN
tenee and think had it not been for an
old gray headed father pleading for his son
and son-in-law, and the tears of their wives
and sisters, they would have been hupe
A number of speeches were made in favor
of death, but the final result was that tbrea
were set free on condition that they would
DO right and be honest in future, confessinC
their fault and releasing their right of claim
The other four were sent across the river
accompanied by about one hundred and
fifty men, with a resolution that if they
ever set foot again on Nebraska soil they
would be hung.

important to Owners of Horses.

According to the Herald Of Freedom. all
the lawrence people who denounce that
paper, are horse-thieves. The information
is certainly important, and the public, es-
pecially that portion of ii which is inter-
ested IN horse-fesh, owe the editor a debt
of gratitude for impar.ing it. We have
heard large numbers of the citizens of Law
renee. during the last Two months, denounce
the Herald IN severe terms but we have
yet to hear the first one endorse it. The IN

We have seen private letter, which came
by the last steamer, from a gentleman in
San Francisco, which states that in the wri-
ter's opinion the yield of gold for the year
1857 will not be much short of 100000
600: The assumptions is based on the knowl-
edge that the facilities for washing have been

The Kanzas news., 1857-07-18

In an article headed g What would have
been the result had the Free State party
voted at the recent election %, the editor of
the Kanzas Leader endeayors to prove that
had the Free State men who were registered
under the Census Act voted at the recent
election they might have had working
majority in the Constitutional Convention
Now, if the author of that article knows
anything about the registry taken under the
Census Act, or the population in the differ
ent portions of Kausas, he knows that there
was not total of one tIousaszd Free State
men registered, and that In the Districts
which he quotes. where the vote was so
much snsller than the registry, those who
staid at hame were pFo-slavery very
many of them residents of Missouri, and
in these districis no Free State men ssere
Registered. How 1en were they TO vote !?
But admitting that they could have voted
and elected :. working majority" to the
Convention. they would not have been JUS
tiled in so doing. They would have gone
into Convention which represented but a
very small proportion of the Inhabitants of
kanzas. Two-thirds of them had been dis
franehised. and these Free State men would
have been parties TO this disfranehisement.
The after wisdom of the Leader only has
the effect to make bad feeling and create
division IN the ranks Of the Free State party.
