pckets than We could BE- in merging our individual
ity into the general organization. The new platform
that undoubtedly will be adopted at Lawrence in
November next, will have opposition TO the bred
Scott decision, which declares Kansas Ia De- Slave
Territory. in spite of the will of her people, as
main plank; consequently. opposition to the pres
ent Administration and the National Pro-Slayery
party and the contemplated Federal Slave Code.
Ii will call upon the Territorial Legislature 10 pass
act prohibiting the Introduction OF slaves into
the Territory providing punishment for the same,
and also ske steps Ia the speedy admission OF
Kansas into the Union Such platform as this WILDE
disiasteiul to the Democratic or Hunker element,
who, while We passed milk and water resolutions,
meaning nothing. and accomplishing worse thsn
that, were content 10 stay IN oar midst, because
one of their votes would always neutralze that OF
some true and earnest Anti-Slayery man.
Now for another matter, which shows the actV-
ny OF the Democracy. The late discover! VI
gold in Western Kansas has turned the attention
of the Administration to that quarter in hopes that
by skilul maneuvering population could De H.

The fact, which all accounts bear ont, tdAt the
country at the base of the mountains Is Wen
adapted to agricultural purposes, with the sup
posed mineral wealth, it is expected VIII cause
large emigration there. The aim Is to induce the
and early in the Spring in such numbers rs TO De

country and every endeayOr Is made 10 get up
companies al the men who have been active III the
past history o. cur Territory. Kansas is over oVO
miles east and west while but 200 north ahd
south. II is hoped that If not Slave state
Through the action of the bred Scott decsion), AZ
least a good Democratic State can be made out OF
Western Kansas.
With this view an effort will b. made at the next
session of the Legislature to get that body to take
some action which will result in the division of the
Territory into two. Gov. Denver Is the muster
spirit in this movement, and in fIrtherance al II ne
has organized Arapahoe County, which comprises
all the territory fifty miles west OF OFT hiley, D!

If they succeed in getting the Territorial Legs

River in Nebraska, Congress will quickly
organize another Territory out OF the new gold
fields and part of Utah. Another object aimed
at in this scheme is 10 neutraze the Anti-Slayery
sentiment of Southern Kansas by adding slice
of Democratic Nebraska on the north and, with
Ieayenw orth and other river towns, rule the future

from: ard second because Denyer's friends have
not been so private in this matter that 1t has not
leaked out and alarncdOur politicians and agtatofs.
There is another feature in this scheme OF par
ceiling out that deserves mentioning. Below Fort
Scott lies tract of country fifty miles north and
and south and two hundred east and west, which
comprises some of the finest lands IN Southern
Kansas. 1t is now Indian reservation, Owned oy
the Cherokees and Usage Nation. Several attempts
have been made to form treaty by the Indians
with the General Government for the sale OF the
neutral land, forming Mc(iee County, owned ~
the Cherokee Nation, and IT portion OF the
Usage land but invariably the Indians have
been put off. When the Fort Gibson Road was
chartered, the right Of way was granted Dy
the Cherokee Legislature to the Company; but
the Indian Department at Washington refused
to sanction il, and il fell through. The object OF
all this maneuvering is to prevent emigration
closing upon the Indian territory, and thus the
Free State sentiment, it is hoped, viii b. Kept out
until the scheme above detailed can be carried out
and preponderance of lIuaker sentiment secured
in Kansas; then, when the Oligarchy get ready to
open the Indian territory, Kansas viii be asked in
consideration of the territory annexed on the morrill,
to throw out the tract of Indian lands lying Oh the
southern border of Kansas. out of which they hope
to make q Slave State. They confidently expect
to b. able to accomplish something similar to the
above, and all the power of the Administration here
will be bent toward achieving successful result.
There is work yet to do. Freedom needs to be
vgilant, for she never had more dangerous and
determined foe than the American Slave Oilgirchy.
