@ The nomination for representatives
to the Legislative Assembly, from Leav-
enworth County, was to have been made
at Wyandott on the 18th inst. We
have not heard the result, but hope some
of the members viii be different from a
portion of those representing that county
at the last session, of the Legislature.
1t was Elliott. from Delaware, il that
county, who headed the movement
to induce the Territorial Legislature to
adjourn to give place to the Topeka Con-
stitution. Every man of this stripe, or
who aided or in any manner encouraged
such movement deserves political dam

Ed. HERALD OF FFREEboM-DEARS SIR
Our County Convention came of yester-
day for the nomination of Representa-
tives to the next Territorial Legislature,
in which the policy of Republican
organization was discussed and unani-
mously voted down in delegate conyen-
ton. So much for the yarns of Wattles'
address, circulated throughout the Terri
tory, that four out of every five Of the
Free State party favored the movement Of
a Republican organization in this county.
Robert B. Mitchell and DR.. A. Danford
were unanimously re-nominated for Rep
rssentatives to the next Territorial Leg
islature, and will be almost unanimously
elected. Very truly yours.

It is universally conceded that there is
more sickness in Kansas at this time than
at any other period since the settlement
of the Territory. And yet there have
been but very few deaths. The physi-
clans inform us that the disease seems of
less malignant type than last year, and
that it yields very readily to the influence
of medicine. The present cool, bracing
weather must soon terminate the days of
the Agus King. and restore the sick to
health and active life again.

A,ehison-rhe Massasoi, House.

Wednesday, the 1st inst, was proud
day for Atchison. The Massasois House,
a large first class hotel, THOMAS MURPHY,
proprietor, was opened on that occasion.
Visitors were in attendance from Leaven.
worth, Weston, St. Joseph, and other
points, and the Leavenworth Brass Band
discoursed music for the occasion. After
supper, toasts and speeches were the order
of exercises, and from the report in the
Champion, it seems they had glorious
time. The proprietors of the house had
kindly furnished us with a compliment
ary ticket fer the occasion, but instead of
being able to accept their polite invita-
ton, we found ourself confined to our
room with raging fever, which held us
for about two weeks, and leaves us still in
feeble health. They will accept our
thanks for their politeness, and on some
future occasion we will pay their town a
visit, and give it and their hotel suit
able notice.

The attention of our readers is called
to the advertisement of the Messrs. SAT-

co-partnership for the practice of law in
its various departments. The senior
member of the new firm has recently To-
Gated in Lawrence, and brings to the part

the profession, and an extended reputa-
ton at the East as a thorough and sue
cessful lawyer, as well as an active and

efficient Prosecuting Attorney, for whom
a few months residence among us has
won an honorable position and profitable
practice, is the other member. The ref
erences annexed to their card, both in Kan

Important Decision

Important Decision
For the information of persons who
have fled on tracts of land, but have not
yet pre-empted, we append the following
letter from Mr.. Hendricks, Commissioner
of the General Land Office:
GENERAL LAND 0FFIcE,l
August I'd, 1858.
B. F. LUsHBAUGH, Brownsville, n. T.
SIR:-In reply to yours of 10Th July ult.,
l have to inform you that the impression
which you say prevails in your communi-
ty, that settlers who have heretofore filed
for lands, under the pre-emption law of
1841, may neglect to make proof and pay
ment before the day ofpublic sale and af-
tsrwards secure the same lands under chat
law, as offered lands, is erroneous. The
18th section of the Act of 1854, subject
ing the public lands in Kansas and Ne
braska to the operations Of the act of 1841,
expressly provides that persons claiming
lands under said act, failing to file the
legal notice "or to pay for the tracts
claimed before the day fixed for the public
sale of the lands by the proclamation of
the President of the United States" shall
forfeit all right thereto.
Besides this, if any person has fled
a declsratory statement for tract of land,
and by his own laches shall suffer his right
thereto to lapse to the government, and
such notice was filed subsequent to the
date of the enclosed circular, viz: Sd De-
cember, 1856, he cannot again hereafter
file for that or any other public land.
Very respectfully, &c.

Pn1LADELu1A, Sept. 9.--The slavery discus.
sion opened at seven this evening, a slight
emeute occurred between the debatcrs Browns
low was sometimes slightly excited, and his
audience was violent in calling him to order
Brownlow said he was aware that majority of
a5olitionists " ere present, but asked no favor,
quarters or sympathy from them; but if they
tried and wished to backout, let US know, and
we will disperse like gentlemen. He demanded
the right to finish his argument,
Prynne replied, much excited--He said that
what was yielded for courtesy was now demnn-
ded as right His opponent doubtless intended
intimidation when he said some Southerners
were present, but he was not afraid of the
cracking of their whips.
Brownlow then commenced an argumentwith
reply TO editorial of the n. Y. Times
In concluding, Brownlow asked if Prynne
would be willing to marry, his daughter to some
buck. niger, Fred Douglas for instance. Prynne
in opening said he would referthe majority of
Brownlow's arguments to northern school boys
and pass his slurs without answer.
The interest in the debate is increasing. They
close on Saturday next.

Tie Js,os- Gomencsnseat Of the TtOo Days Fss.
tiul-On Wednesday evening commenced the
first of a yearly series of holydays and festivals
among our Jewish population. This festival
which will be continued until to night, with
strict observance, is one Of the most important
Of all the Jewish feasts, viz:-"The Festival Of
RoscA HasAannah, or New Year." the original
which is found i'll Leviticus, chapter %, v. go
%: "And the Lord spake unto Moses saying,
speak unto the Children ofIsrael saying, In TIE
seventh month in the first of the month shall
ys have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing Of
trumpets, an holy conyocation, yc shall do no
servile work." And in Numbers, chapter 90, v.
!, the command isrepeated. "And in the seventh
month on the first day of the month ye shall
have an INSTRUMENTATION, ye shall do no servile
work: 1t is day of blowing the trumpets unto
you" Although not one Of the three great fes,
tiyals upon which all Israel gathered at the tenn
pie to appear before the Lord, yet it is, never
theIess, considered as one of the first among tho
principal holy days, and as such has always
been celebrated by the members of the Jewish
persuasion.
This day is considered by the Israelites as
day of Judgment to all flesh, which is to decide
their fate for the coming year-not because
they do no: consider the destiny OF man on any
other day less subject to the control of Provi-
dencc, bnt they hold that on this particular day
the absolute consequence of mems actions and
the fate of nations and cimes are melted ont and
weighed The blowing of the Saowpay or cor
net of rams horn which may have been heard
yesterday from the Synagogue over the Intelli.
gencer office, is commanded in Lev, chap xiii,
v. % to %, and Numbers, chap. w. It's a
ceremony peculiar to this day, and is not only
observed to the day, but the hearing of it is
obligatory upon all jews. 1t has a direct refer
ence to, and close connection with the service of
the day. 1t procaims as the Israelitcs believe,
God and His day of judgment 1t is intended
to call forth terror at the judgment. 1t likewise
expresses thanks, as in Psalms: "Hallelujah!
praise Him with trumpet sounds, and it also
denotes the restoration of Israel. All these
ideas are connected with, and expressed by, the
sounding of the cornet on this day, which is
also called gone lie EouToVn, or, ebay of re-
membrance," and gone Ieyuho, ''the day of
blowing"
