Division In Lykip. coun,y

Division In Lykins County.
We learn that there is division of
parties in Lykins county. The Republi-
can element has thrown itself into the
canvass, and there is danger of Pro-
slavery triumph as consequence, unless
the genuine Free State men fall back upon
the Free State organization.
We learn that convention was held in
Paola, on the 9th inst, to nominate candi-
dates to the Territorial Legislature; that
the names of the candidates, before nomina-
tion, were not announced to the convention;
that an informal ballot was taken, and the
two candidates having the highest number
of votes were, on motion, putin nomination
by acclamation; that the choice of the
convention, as thus informally expressed,
was Abraham Ellis, of Miami, and Sam
uel Il. Houser, of Osawatoraie; that i'm
mediately after the nomination, the can
didates were called upon to know their
political views, and that they each placed
themselves on the Republican platform,
and took a pledge of exclusive Republi-
canism, and declared themselves in favor
of radical change in the county lines.
The convention adjourned without nomi-
mating a full ticket.
The delegates who were in favor Of
sustaining the Free State party, as organ
lied in the past, announced that they
would not support the nominees; that
they wished NO new measures engrafted
upon the Free State party. A Mass Con-
vention of the Free State party was then
called at Paola. 1t met on the 18th inst,
and without any dissension nominated
DR.. WIN. WALTERS, of Miami, and DR..
M. F. HOLIDAY, of Indianapolis, as can
didates for the Territorial Legislature, and
Fl. NJ. HUGHEs, A. B., for Superintendent
of Common Schools of Lykins county.
We are happy to state in this connec.
ton, that better men than Messrs. WAL
TIERS and HOLIDAY cannot be found in
the Territory. Genuine Free State men
and Republicans at the proper time. they
deserve the support of every honest Free
State man in that county. Mr.. HUGHES
we know personally. He is graduate o
Allegheny College, located at Meadville
Pa, is a young man of superior attain
ments, and correct habits, and would dc
honor to the Office to which he has beer
nominated.
From what we learn there can be little
doubt of the success of the real Free State
ticket as nominated at Paols, on the 18th
inst. We certainly wish it success.

Letter from Brovnvills.

BRowSvILLE, K. T., Sept. IA, '5S.
FRIEND BRowx:-Knowing that the
columns of the Herald arc always open
for communications from all parts Of the
Territory, I thought 1 would give you a
short description Of our town and vicinity.
As fall emigration is just beginning to
come into the Territory, it is necessary
that they should know something about
different portions Of it, in order to make
a good selection.
Our town is situated near where the
three branches form the main Wakarusa,
and consequently near quite an extensive
body of timber. The town is built oman
elevation, having grand view of the sur
rounding country. The Fort Leaven.
worth, Fort Union and Santa Fs roads
pass the town, over which there is q
great deal of travel. We have a largo
three story hotel, costing about 5000; q
No. 1 steam mill, a two story school
house, well furnished, in which good
school is constantly kept. There are three
churches to be built here this fall by the
Old and New School Presbyterians and
Baptists.
We occupy very central position, be-
ing twelve miles from Topeka, ten from
Burlingame, seventeen from Tecumssh'
and ten from the town of ITO.
All the county conventions Of Shaw
nee are held here.
A large surplus of corn aud potatoes
has been raised this year, which can be
bought at reasonable rates. Several veins
of stone coal have been found within
three miles of the town. There are some
No. l prairie claims unoccupied within
four miles, and some very valuable tim.
bered claims (most of which have been
pre-empted,) which can be bought for
half their real value, for cash.
Pc IONS wishing to make q good selec-
ton, will do well TO give US call before
purchasing elsewhere.

"Tft for Tat"
The election Saturday was no indics-
ton of the strength Of the Republican
and Democratic elements in the "Frs'
State party" as the ticket headed "Bs-
publican ticket" was understood to be
the Lawrence Republican Office" clique
ticket, and had NO distinctive qualities ~
Republican tickep in contradistincti0n
to Democratic" Its defeat does not
show the strength of Republicanism, but
only the strength of "TIMoTHY DWIGHT
THAcHEI'sn SECRET REPUBLIcAS CLIQUE
TICKET, and shows ONLY HIS strength
samuel" therefore presents his comPn'
ments to "7inlothy," and begs to inform
a7fnotsy" that Timothy cannot con.
gratulats "7smothy' upon having ssVsa
the country and that SO far as TI~0fhy'
influence is concerned, Border Rufhsnr
may again grow upon the fair fields O'
Kansas. "Dw;ghe' would undoubtedly
have been great man had not nature de-
signed "Green TIMOTHY" only as feed iOf
stock. Oh! Timothy, Timothy! had you
not better
