WYANDorr CRY, X. T., March 2.
EDrroR JouRNAL:-Tho City Charter
granted us by the Legislature, provided for
the election of Municipal officers on the lst
Monday in March The result of said cleo
ton I give you above.
Yesterday was happy day for Wyan-
dott, from the very morn of its existence
Gust one year ngo) to attain its present po-
sition, obstacles almost unsurmountablc,
have been overcome. The combined efforts
of neighbors above and below us by dis
honest and consequently dishonorable means,
have with effect been brought to bear against
us, and not the least of their numerous base
Misrepresentation is, that this is strong
slavery town. That such is not the case
cvinces itself in tho result of yesterdays
election, and never in all my observations,
have | seen such an effort as was made by
the Democracy (as they are pleased to call
.themsolves) of this place to carry their ends
They became convinced that they could moi
hold their own, and consequently resorted
to their usual remody-trickery. As con
sequence they produced thirteen tickets hop
ing that the votes each would receive would
be sufficient to secure majority Of the AL
dcrmen and other officers to their party
Baifled in every attempt and a final ingori-
Gus defeat, renders them as scarce in ouI
streets to day as 'Juno bugs in harvest
time"
There is nothing now in the way to dark
en- the future of Wyandott, we have a pop
ulation already of full eighteen hundred
Tho grading Of four avenues and four streets
at an expense of $4,000 is completed.--
We have a road open to the Southern coun-
try, and the promise of the people of South
ern Kansas that they will not support the
institutions of slave State, and conse
quently will not longer trade at Kansas
city, but that Wyandott shall in future be
their head quarters. We will have our city
government in operation in very few days
Wyandott is then emphatically the first
Free State town on the Missouri river En-
igrants to Kansas will do well to bear thi.
in mind, We have ample accommodation
for any number, VIC have some of the larg
est mercantile houses west of ST. Louis 81
that everything in the way of outfitting cal
bo procured, and would hore say to thos,
contemplating migrating to Kansas, come
now, that you may secure tho advantage
resulting therefrom. The Shawnee land
are now in market and those who choose
can secure farm of 100 acres of the mos
beautiful land my eyes ever rested upon
l should have stated before that from Wy
andott there are tho very best of roads run
ming to all parts of the Territory.
Our election passed off quietly, ther
were $50 votes polled. Our Mayor wa
elected by majority of 2s2 votes. wa
one of the clerks and so badly were tn
tickets split that we did not get through til
g. a. m. next day-working all night
