WYASDor CRY. X. T.l
july y, 1857.

FRIESD AILES;-Ths fourth of july WAS
gala day for Wyandoit Early in the morning.
Of that day hundreds Of people might have been
seen vending their way TO our new and beau
tiful city TO celebrate the glorious ionrth--the
Eighty-tirst anniversary Of American Indepen-
dence.
Gov. William Walker was the orator for the
occasion, and he delivered one of the most able
and interesting addresses that has been my
good fortune to listen to since have been in the
great west" -...,-
After the eloquent orator delivered his dis
course the vast multitude were invited to partake
of bomteouS repast gotten up by the citizens
Of Wvandott, which was free to all-"without
money and without price" 1t was undoubtedly
one OF the largest gatherings and outpouring OF
the people that ever assembled upon the soil Of
once bleeding" Kansas. Take it all in all it
was Indeed feast ofreason' and 'Aow of soul"
The National Democratic Convention which
assembled at Lecompton on End lust, placed in
nomination Ex- Gov. Epaphroditus ltanSom, late
Of Michigan, for Delegate to Congress. DR.. Jno.
II. Stringfelow withdrew his name from before
the convention, but cordially and heartily sus-
tains and supports the nominee. Gov Ransom
favors the admission Of Kansas into the L nion
as Free State Hon. f. P. Stanton, Secretary
Of this Territory addressed large aSsembage
of people at this place last evening. The peo-
pie generally were well pleased with his remarks.
He advocated fully the Democratic doctrine that
the people were capable Of choosing their own
peculiar institutions, and that the people OF
Kansas so far as he could exert any influence
should have the right to vote for the adoption
or rejection of the constitution which will be
formed by the Constitutional Convention in Sep
telnbcr next The Free State Party have rccei-
we'd instructions from their grand High Priests,
Seward, Greeley, Giddings, and Others Of the
order of the Grand Finn to vote down the Con-
stitution-eyen thoug hit would in direct terms
prohibit slavery--or even should it he the Tope-
ka Constitution itself The leaders Of that
party (Republican) in Kansas proclaim boldly
from the stump and from the Press-that no
other than their party shall have the honor o
of making Kansas a free State.
Hans as will be admitted into the Union as a
sovereign State of the contedeTacy at the next
session of Congress, Notwithstanding the oppo-
stion that she will have to encounter from the
hand Of ism throughout the country.
A difficulty occurred at Doniphan last Mon.
day which grew out Of some remarks made or
the 4th at a celebration at that place Many o
the Free State men took exceptions to the re
marks OF the orator on that occasion. Severa
! fshts (6sticu1fs) have already taken place be
| tween the bellgerentS, but nothing OF Il scriou,
nature at the latest advices from the seat OF war
1t is utterly impossible to get up another DIFF
icultv in this once distracted country. Tho
people are for peace, not war. ....
The weather has been exceedingly hot-not
warm-for some days past. More anon.
