A New Paper.


We learn that a new paper, to be called
the Western Metropolis, will be started in
Wyandott in a few weeks. The material,
which is entirely new, is on the ground.
The Register and Citizen have gone doyn.
The Metropolis avoiding the shoals on
which the others have stranded, will no
doubt be liberally sustained by the prop
erty holders there, without which no pa
per can be sustained at any new point in
Kansas. There is not paper in the Ter
ritory which has made paying thing of
itselEit must have extraneous aid, with
out which it will not survive its chrysalis
state. We speak from experience in this
matter, and to our friends in Wyandott
we would say: If the Metropolis proves to
be such a paper as your demands need
if it shall prove to be lire paper, devoted
to and struggling to advance your local
interests, by all means sustain it, whether
it meets your appreciation in every re-
spect, or otherwise. The publishers are
strangers to us, but we understand their
interests are identified with the Territory,
and with the locality which they have Sc
lected for their enterprise, and that they
will labor unremittingly to advance the
best interests of all. In politics they will
be Independent Free State, with Republi-
can proelivities. Success to them.

There seems tobe disposition on the
part of some to set at defiance the action
of the County Convention of Tuesday
last, and put on the track some new candi-
dates in connection with some of those
already in the field, for members of, the
Constitutional Convention. We hope
that the good sense of the people viii put
the veto on any attempt of this kind
The ticket put in nomination was COM
promise of the different elements of the
Free State party, and as such should
receive the support of the party. We
confess that some of the nominees don't
exactly suit us, but still that viii not JUS
tify us in trying to defeat them. 1t would
do no harm at this time to remember the
assertion of Gen. LANE, that "He who
would attempt to divide us, is traitor to
the cause of Freedom; is friend to that
party that has for three years oppressed,
ridiculed and trodden under foot the Free
State men of Kansas, and the rights of a
free people"
It is the duty of the Candidates of the
different elements to see that their friends
bring no new candidates into the field,
and we shall hold them responsible if it
is done, and will treat them accordingly.

County Convention.

A Delegate Convention of the Free
State party of Douglas county was held
in Lawrence on the Goth inst, for the
purpose of putting in nomination candi-
dates for Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, to be voted for on Tuesday
next The following are the nominees
j. S. Emory. s. N. Wood, N. F. Con-
way, T. D. Thacher, Lawrence C. Il.
Branscomb, Wm.R. Monteith, Lecompton;
E. Scudder, J. NJ. Shepherd, Washington;
A. Cole, j. L. Brown, Calhoun.
A majority of these candidates are good
and true Free State men, and viii do sll
in their power to give the people just
such a constitution as they want. We
hope they may have sufficient influence
in the convention to crush the effort that
will undoubtedly be made by certain are
to-be delegates, whom we could easily
name, to acram down" the throats of the
Free State men of Kansas, an instrument
which they utterly abhor and detest. We
shall live in hope.

euzy prominent name, save that Of Judge
Conway, took the same view of il, above
expressed. and that it was abandoned long
ago as an inpracticability.
Of its late supporters, who havs chung
70 Il with such per.inacity, and whose
hopes Of freedom. and even Of immortal
Iity. seemed centered il il there were
none, we believe. but Gen. Lane, who
were originally concerned IL its adoption.
Phillips and Redpatl,, and Thacher. and
linton, all were new corners, who knew
little of the feelings of those who were
engaged in its conception, or the motives
of those who called it into being. Gov.
Robinson, Lieut.. Gov. Roberts, Secretary
of State Schuyler, and Treasurer Wake
field, all saw it was futile to hope for
anything under the organization, and if
any of them adhered to the government
until late day it was against the convic-
tions of their own judgments knowing
that no good would grow out oft. They
held on to it, that it might not be dis
gaeed by its professed tweIye-hour
friends.
AS we stated two weeke ago, that gov
ernment, if such it can be called, has
committed suicide; it is among the things
of the past. "reminiscences connected
with it are instructive, and useful 1t
remained above ground too long, however,
and has become reproach and by-word
because of the tenacity with which some

The Central Courier.

We have received the prospectus of a
paper about TO be started at Emporia,
Kansas, by w. G. HOLDEN, bearing the
above title. The editor informs us that it
will be Free State journal, Republican
in its sympathies, and strictly reliable on
the great issues of Kansas, and in favor of
the greatest amount of human freedom;
yet it will discard those personal attacks
on individuals and journals which have
made other presses areproach in the Ter
ritory."
For the benefit of the people of that
section of the Territory we would state
that Dir. HOLDEN is reliable Free State
man, good and worthy citizen, and one in
whom they can safely confde their inter-
ests. he lays down good platform, and
we doubt not he will live up to it. G.
w. HOLDEN is not the man who will
preach one thing and practice another.
The interests of the central part of the
Territory demand paper of this stamp
reliable Free State paper-and Mr.
HOLDEN is just the man for the emergen-
cy. We hope the citizens of that section
viii sustain this new enterprise-which
they will do if they know their true in
terests. 1t requires capital to publish
paper in this country, aud we shall ex-
pect to see the citizens of central Kansas
come up to the work, and profer their
assistance They viii bear in mind that
it is not the publisher of the paper who
makes the money, but the property
holder.
The paper is to be of the medium size,
aad printed on new type. Terms two
dollars on receipt Of the first number.

Civ Election.

The election for city officers, under the
the Lawrence City Charter granted by the
late Territorial Legislature, came off on
Monday last, and was participated in by
all our citizens. From the earnestness
with which the people entered into the
contest, one would have supposed that
some great political principle was atstake.
The only issue made, we believe, was
Conservatism against Radicalism, and we
are proud to say that the whole conserva-
tive ticket, with one exception, was elect
ed by respectable majority. Below we

The Leayenworth Daily 1Emes, says
that ". Il. Co.'s, Jr., one of the Pro-
Slavery candidates in that county for the
Legislature under the Lecompton Swindle,
has decided that enough fraudulent votes
have beenproyen to have been CASTOR him
at the election on the 4th Of January to
defeat him, and that, like an honorable
man he has published aletter in the Ledger
saying that he will resign his seat should
Calhoun tender him his certificate. It is
believed that other candidates viii follow
