ENDoRsING THE ADXINIsTRETIoS.-
Since the passage Of the English bride,
elections have been held in a number Of
important cities, in all of which Lecomp-
ton was made the ISSUE and in all of
which Lecompton has been badly beaten.
Philadelphia gave Buchanan the larg-
est majority of any city in the Union.
She now elects the Peoples Anti-Le-
compton candidate for Mayor. by some
1000 majority. AS usual. where other
parties do the work, the Republicans
claim this as an exclusive victory Of
theirs. Mr.. Henry, the Mayor elect, and
in fact the entire city ticket. are members
of tho National American party, but
were voted for by persons of all parties.
In indianapolis. which is usually De-
mocratic. the Anti-Lscompton ticket has
been elected by considerable majority.
In York, Pa, heretofore strongly
Democratic city. the American ticket has
been elected by large majority. Le<
compton was male the test.
In Ottowa. H., the Anti Lecompton
ticket has also succeeded by large ma
iority. This city is filled mp with Irish.
1.-THE most incorrigible and hopelessly
benighted of all Democrats and consc-
quently has heretofore been largely Dem
ocratic.
in Lafayette. Indiana. the Anti-Le-
compton ticket has it all its own way.
1t will thus be seen that Buchanan is
Indignantly rebuked in his own State.
and English is rebuked in his. while
Douglas is sustained in his State. 1t
would require a great deal of money. the
Issue of a vast amount Of Treasury Notes,
and the sale of an enormous quantity of
public lands. to buy up the people, as
Buchanan has bought up Congressman.

that Pro-Slavery Democratic paper
should be permitted to starve out in a
town which can always muster from 800
to 1000 votes of that stripe. But We
presume the voters are busy at other mat
tiers. Col. Benton is dead, Horace Gree.
ley and Edwin Forrest are attending to
their spiritual welfare. Col. Fremont is
engaged in his Mariposa trial. Jim Bn-
chanan is attending to the affairs of Kick
apoo at Washington, and We presume
the balance of them are at various other
occupations.
Ford's Hotel, at Kickapoo, is a very
good house. and the bills are lighter than
one would look for, considering that it is
Kickapoo.
During our journey. We saw several
towns larger than White Cloud. and sew
eral in which more buildings are at pres
enMGoing up. but none that seemed to
have brighter prospects ahead. There is
one thing which we have always consid-
cred disadvantage to our place. and that
is so much vacant land Immediately about
the town, and so few farms under culti-
walton within several miles of the place.
We noticed the same with regard to
Sumner. But all the other towns are
surrounded with farms under fine state
of cultivation. With this evil remedied,
we did not visit town which we consid
cred to have superior advantages to White
Cloud. The only way in which they
appear more lively. is in the greater num-
Der of steamboat arrivals. This is not
on account of the unusually extensive
business of these towns. but because they
are so fortunate as to be below st. Joseph.
The boats run between st. Louis and St.
Joseph, and make these places stopping
points. Were it not for this, the boats
would be fewer, and much more heavily
freighted. as they are when they go far

THE ELEcTIoS.-We have but few re-
turns Of the election held on the 18th.
There was very light vote. and but few
except those in favor of the Leavenworth
Constitution, seemed to take interest
enough in the matter to go to the polls.
In this County and Brown, the Constitu-
zion has majority. In the city of Atch-
ison. there Ia 10 majority against it.

AT Doniphan, the new ticket received a

ylpre not opened. and they might as well
~ have been opened here. With q

It haa given an indication that the people
are all fright. and that. when there is a
chance to accomplish any thing by vo-
ting, they win speak loud and strong.

SHARP.-Upon our arrival home, last
week, we heard that the Clerk of the
steamer Hannibal, which had passed up
in the morning. had been making earnest
inquiries for us. and had package to be
left in our care. upon which there was Sc
to pay. We were anxious to know what
it all meant. and at length got clue to
the affair. -
1t appears that three young fellows
were somewhere down the river. footing
It up. and pretty well tagged out. when
the Hannibal came along. and they de-
termined to take passage. None Of them
had any money. but one Of them had
deeds for a couple of lots in some back
country town. consisting of stakes driven
into the ground. The lots. if the propri-
etors Of the town had title to the land,
would be worth about sI.25 to the acre.
When the Clerk called on the fellows for
their passage money. they confessed them
selves "broke;" but the one having the
deeds produced them, telling the Clerk
they were very valuable. and that he
might keep them until their fare was
paid. He said they desired to stop at
White Cloud. and the Clerk should come
to US and show the documents, when we
would Immediately redeem them. The
Clerk readily consented. and went about
his business. At Iowa Point the fellows
slid of of the boat. it being dark when
she landed there. Upon her arrival here.
the Clerk anxiously inquired for us. new
er doubling. we presume. that sight Of
the papers would bring the money. Sc
veral persons, thinking the package was
for us, offered to pay the charges. and
deliver it to us; but the Clerk would not
consent to this-the papers were very
valuable, and he had been directed to let
no one have them but ourself. THE
fellows had met us down below. and
knew we were not at homel) He there
fore carried them up the river with him.
On the return Of the Hannibal, the other
day, the Clerk still had the papers. and
was again inquiring for US! We would
advise him to hold on to them, and he
