AL Must v ote.

The Lecompton Democrat has an arti.
Gle in regard to the new Administration
in Kansas which says that -
Acting Governor Denver's insfruc-
tons require him to carry out the laws
passed at the late extra session of the
Legislature, especially that which pro-
vides for an election upon the adoption OF
the constitution. He exhorts the people
to 60 to the polls and vote. We do no:
doubt that he will do everything in his
power to secure fair expression of the
public win and as the whole question is
TO be fully presented, under legal author
lty, in such way that every one car
vote for or against the Constitution, there
will be no excuse for any portion of the
people remaining at home and refusing
to participate in the election. On the 4th
of January, the question is to be settled
The vote on that day will decide the fate
of the LecomptOn Constitution, in Con-
gress as well as in Kansas.
The President of the United States
distinctly recognizes the validity of the
OtCSlloi OiuSicu W uS ilStu ny Juc law VI
the late extra session. This fact, of it
self, viii insure the potential influence of
the decision which will be made on the
4th prox., under that law; for it would
be absurd to suppose that Mr.. Buchanan
could admit the right of the people to
vote fairly upon the adoption or rejection
of the constitution, and vet refuse to
abide by the decision which may be made
by the people at that election. Congress
dare not disregard it. They dare not i'm
pose upon the people Constitution
they refuse to accept, or reject one which
they shall determine to adopt.
Acting Governor Denver is particularly
strong in his approval of the act for the
punishment of illegal voting and fraudu-
lent returns. We believe he is earnestly
desirous that the people shall have fair
chance to decide for themselves. Let
them rely upon his pledge, thus frankly
given, aud turn out in solid column on
the 4th of January and dispose of the
LecOmpton Constitution finally and for
ever.

Blue CiT.

We notice that new town has just
come into notice, which bids fair to be a
place of considerable Importance. Ii IS
situated ten miles above Manhattan at
the junction of the Big Blue river and
Mil creek. There are many enterpriS-
ing and wealthy farmers in the immedi-
ate vicinity, and they have already a
blacksmith shop, grist mill, and a saw
mill is now in process of erection. The
location is said to be very beautiful, and
the scenery in the neighborhood Of the
site is grand. 1t is called BLUE CRY and
is now owned by FL. & n. COndray, Of
Indiana; F. B. Smith, of Rhode Island
and DIR. j. w. Robinson, of Maine.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-01-02
tn. Times On Stanton. Removal.

The Newly Times makes some we'll
timed remarks in regard to the removal
of Secretary STANTON. 1t says:
We should like to know Mr.. Buchan-
ans objection to the meeting of the Kan
sas Legislature. Is there anything in
that meeting per Sc at war with the Con-
stitution of the United States ? That
body is chosen by the people of Kansas.
1t is the representative and embodiment
of their sovereignty. Its acts are their
acts-and its meeting in open session is
simply the means by which they can ex-
ercise that sovereignty which is their nat
ural and inalienable right, and which
was solemnly guaranteed to them by the
Nebraska bill and by the Cincinnati plat
form upon which Mr.. Buchanan was
elected. The acting Governor Stanton,
it seems, has afforded the people an OPP
portunity of exercising their sovereign
rights two or three weeks in advance OF
the regular period fixed by law,-and In
this he has acted upon a discretion ex-
pressly conferred upon him by the Kan
sas-Nebraka bill.
Yet for this he is said to have been dis
missed from Office by President Buchan-
an without waiting to see the grounds
upon which his action is based without
giving him the slightest opportunity to
explain or justify the motives of his pro-
ceeding without any knowledge of the
temper and spirit of the Kansas people
without any information as to the intend
ed action of the Legislature, the Presi-
dent makes haste to eject from office the
Secretary of his own appointment, for the
simple act of having called the Legisla
ture together. If anything can surpas:
the folly or fatuity Of such conduct, i
cannot be found in the history of thi
G0vernment.-not even under the Ad
ministration of Gen. Pierce.

JEFFERSON CRY, No., Nov. Is, 1857.
EDIToRs HERALD 1.-THE Usage valley
and Southern Kansas Railroad" Charter
passed the Senate of this State to-day,
and has become law. 1t provides for
the construction of the Road contempla-
ted by the Convention held at Butler,
Bates county some time since The place
at which it is to start, is on the Pacific
Railroad at some point between Jefferson
City and Round Hill, and run west thro'
Versailles, Cole Camp. Clinton and But
Ter to the State line !; and from thence
through Linn, Anderson, Coffey, and
Breckenridge counties to the west line OF
Kansas. On my way here l passed
through the country which is to have this
route, and found the people all alive to
the importance of this undertaking, and
every where fonnd willingness to sub
scribe for the stock necessary to begin the
grading. The country you are aware is
very favorable, and the road can be made
on .sthe divide" between the Usage river
and Grand river at comparatively little
expense.
The Charter is liberal one and have
no doubt the road viii be constructed a
soon as any other road in the Territory.
