Of that street, to seize upon and try to
force him to purchase. At last, one

Kansas Matters

1t is ure d that inhsmuch as he whole Con.
sttution is not submitted 10 the peoplc-as they
must vote for all of it except III, slavery cause
if they vote at all-they ought to have nothing
to do with it. 1t certainly is a wrong and an
outrage that the whole Constitution is not 5, b.
United to the popular vote. BY submitting art
of if, the Convention recognised the principle
that the people had right TO vote upon it; and
there is good reason why they should refuse TO
give tn, m the o. portLnity. 1t is undoubtedly
true, that il the entire instrument had teer,
submitted to the people, it would have been re-
jcc'ed the Legislature would have called q
new Convention; the Who'll controversy would
have been rc-opened, and the admission of the
State made the subject of renewed contest end
of prolonged doubt. But this is matter
which the people had right. and should have
been allow ed, to decide for themselves. 1t is
to be bone in mind, however, that the main
point OF difference has been the question OF
slavery. and that this is fully and fairly sub
mi;ttd to the popular vote
Upon all other features of State Consti u
ton there has been no vital disagreement
among the inhabitants-and we hear even now
10 serious complaints against them. The
whole controversy has turned upon the qucs-
ton Of slayer9-and it is now distinctly and
clearly provided that if the majority vote for
the Constitution without slavery, then "Slave-
~ shall no longer exist in the State of Kansas.
Such vote prohibits at once and forever the
existence of slavery in the State, except so far
as concerns the 100 or $50 slaves already in
the Territory. The owners right of property
in these particular slaves is still preserved-but
like all other property they may be taxed by
the State Legislature. Their number is So
small, moreover, that the interest they create
could exert no percep,ible infiueace upon the
social or political condition of tho Ssate.-Ne,,

Rev. JOSEPH BLooMER late of Am

has accepted an invitation from the First
Congregational Church to labor in this
place. He entered upon his pastoral

greeted by quite a large and attentive
congregation, and where Divine servi-

pected regularly hereafter. Mr.. B.

citizens to support and patronize the

The SENAToR-Hon. Oran Fayille is added
to the list of Senatorial timber from which to
select. Mr. Fayille is very gentlemanly
member of society and his ability as scholar is
probably equal to that any one named.
Drips of the Clayton Co. Herald seems to
think that the Legislative caucus ought to select
a man for his qualifications rather than for his
electioneering capacity and industry. This
ought to be the case, but if Andy hattcrs him
self that his nominee Judge Williams, or any
other man can get the voice of Il caucus without
being ON hand and wide awake at DeMoine
several days prior TO the meeting of the Legis-
lature, he is slightly mistaken. Men must work
for all they get now days. Modesty is at a
heavy discount

THE RAIL RoAD.-The departure of
Bartlett, late Contractor ont hree sections
of the road, occasioned so much dis
trust and dissatisfaction among tie Ia
borers that work was suspended for a
few days. We learn that the company
has paid the workmen good share of
the Indebtedness of Bartlett and the pro-
liability is that it will all be liquidated
The sections have been re-let, as follows:
Section 9 to p. G. Wright and Dennis
Wall of Clermont, Section 8 to Boyle,
Middleton and Fisher and Section to
VIM. Moncreiffe a. Co. The force has
been increased on all the sections and
with favorable winter such as is now
indicated, large amount of work will
be performed. The tight times are ter
ribly severe on young Rail Roads, but
the men at the head of the McGregor
Co. are resolved to keep the work pro-
crossing, during winter. When spring
arrives, a large field will be open for en-
ployment.

WHERE ARE THE TRAPs.-We notice
that rival dam is being constructed
about a hundred yards below RUBLE' S
mill-dam. No human hands are being
employed in its construction, but, it is
clearly the work of that industrious an
imal. the Beaver. To us Beaver Dam
is real curiosity. The work in ques.
ton is now plainly visible above the
rivers surface, and reaches the entire
width of the stream-about thirty yards.
Why don't some of our young men who
are lying idly about. complaining Of the
hard times, procure some traps and
commence operations. Beaver, otter,
mink and muskrats are quite plenty, and
good wages could be had by tracing
them.-Aldert Leu Star.

FIRE COMPANY.
Ma. Error

Ma. EnIToR:
Ought not the corporation limits to be
extended so as to comprise within them all o
what is now actually the city of McGregor p
We have now grown to be a respectable sized
town with ve'y respectable amount of nh BIZ
tants, and arc able to support and maintain
good and efficient city government that would
be mutually beneficial to all, if all will only
join together for the public good. Mary very
important and highly necessary regulations
might be established after such q result had
been effected, foremost among which / would
name the organization of at least Two Fire
Companies. We need, for the propcction of
property, one good Hook g. Ladder Company
with nccdful equipments, and good Fire
Engine ard Engine Company. There would
be no difficulty in raising members for either or
both of them; We ought TO have both this winter.
Our city from the geography of the country in
this vicinity WILDE closely built up, we have even
now quite a compact street in many places, and
should fire break out in our midst without
the means at our disposal for promptly ex-
tinguishlng it, and the organization almost
equally necessary, large amount of property
would be destroyed. Look at what Lac! osse
suffered last winter. Had they had good fire
Engine, that fine square of stores filled with
valuable property would all have been prcserv.
Cd Shall we copy Ter example, or take warn
ing from her wanton negligence
It il hard times many will say we cant afford
to 60 to the expense of an Engine. l think it
is more the reason why we should be watchful
over what we have got Now is a good time
for thinking and talking over these things the
evenings are long and We could meet together
and consult with each other better now than at
any other season of the year. Will any one
move in the matter believe there can be
much done this winter that would be Of great
permanent good if all will only lend willing
helping hand. Mr.. Editor, what say you?

Coming WEST -Howeyer much natural
feeling of comp ass;on may lead us to sympa-
tllizc with the disasters which afiiict the great
commercial cities of the East, in their pcriodi-
cal lapses of commercial prosperity. there can
be no question that their loss is our GAIN for it
is we'll known fact that the financial revulsions
which at frequent intervals, disorganize the
industrial enterprises of the old clies-throwipg
tens OF thousands out of employment as the
result OF single days catastrophc--have the
direct effect to COLOMBO the West. Our largest
accessions of population have always been in
years following periods of commercial disaster
along the seaboard
Even in easy times, the cheap and beautiful
homes, the staple resources, and sure modes of
subsistence afforded by the teeming soil of the
great West naturally suggest themselves in
place OF the uncertain Iittance which rewards
the poor mans labor in more crow dcd commu-
mites.
But when the day Of calamity comes-when
the great wheel stops, rs now,-and hundreds
OF thousands crouch, as now, in hopeless beg
gary at the gates of bankrupt banks and ware
houses and factories-and SILVER, as now, in
the foreshadow of the dreadful, hopeless winter
that impends-there remains to the bankrupt
merchant and beggared laborer but one hoIe
aud one resource in the wide world. 1t is the
bosom of God, in the great West-the beauti-
full, Astounding West.-Adrertiser.

Mr.. Fraser is capable of fitting yoa for any
business pursuit, and a few dollars invested this

be worth thousands to you hcrea fter. The Class

FnozES.-We are deeply panied to learn that
NJ. M. Jennings farmer living on Pleasant
Ridge about miles from McGrcgor froze his
feet 50 badly ten days ago, as to render amputa
ton of part Of both of them necessary. Doc.
tor Akin informs us that il is possible 10th feet
may be lost at the ANGLE! We trust the case
may not be so desperate as to realize the worst
fears.
Mr.. Jennings was ont hunting in the woods
on one Of those extremely cold days and he
sandcnly became sick. Being unable to travel
there was no alternative but 10 remain out all
night. We did not learn how lie reached
home,
