Not pledged 70 I.ooai Interests.

One fact is worthy of mention IN con-
nection with the candidates of the Ottum-
wa Conyention-and that is that they are
all untrameled by pledges to particular local
interests. One Of the reasons why the last
Legislature failed to accomplish any good
for the people at large was because they all
had ..axes to grind" for their particular
localities; and they followed the accom-
plishment of those interests until the last of
the session, when they discovered that the
general Legislation which was so urgently
demanded was untouched and the remain
ing time too short to perfect anything
The (mis) Representative from this county
went into the House pledged to make GER
tain point the county seat; and to that end
devoted all his energies. The result was
that he did nothing else; and that but half.
He succeeded in getting through bill
changing the lines of this county, and 10
eating the county seat at Americus, so that
it could never be removed; but it failed for
want of the Governors signature.
Other members were at work in the same
manner-some succeeded and some did
not; and the grand result was, the most
bungling code of laws that ever disgraced
statute book.
The members nominated at Ottumwa
will have the whole forty days of the ses-
sion to devote to the public interest; and
we can safely guarantee that at the end Of
the session there will be something to show
for it. We have got just the men we want;
and they will not Violate the public con-
fdence.

In every bend of the river are nice farms
with large fields of grain. From the high
lands on the north these look beautiful
The bottoms are broad, and the land rises,
gradually sloping for miles. No
s'Tall bluffs whose slopes of greenness show
Fantastic outcrops of the rock below"
adorn the north side of the Cottonwood
About eight miles fIom Emporia and
about one mile from the Cottonwood is the
town of Plymouth, laid out about year
since by the settlers in the neighborhood,
to furnish them with trading point. A
Post Office has been established here, and
in the absence of mail route the citizens
have established an independent weekly
line to Emporia. The site of Plymouth is
a good one, and with proper energy and
direction on the part of the proprietors,
viii make good point.
Two miles farther up the stream is Tole-
do. Here also they have Post Office, and
two trading houses.
The country around these two places is
nearly all taken up by actual settlers, and
the records of the assessor will show that
this portion of the county will bear COM
parison with any other portion for wealth
and productions. One thing we noticed
which viii be of interest to immigrants
and others desiring to purchase. The pri-
ces for land are far more reasonable than in
most other portions of the county. The
land too, cannot be surpassed for fertility,
and for location we regard the Cottonwood
as comparing favorably with any portion
of the South or Southwest. We advise
those who desire to purchase cheap and ell
igibly located land to take look up the
Cottonwood.
We believe that with fair chance in the
matter of local encouragement and interest,
the Cottonwood Valley will equal, if not
exceed, that of the Neosho, in wealth; and
for natural beauty it is far ahead of any
other portion of Kansas we have seen.-
The class of men who have settled along ii
are of those who know their own interest
and will improve it. Energetic and indus
trious, they have made rapid strides in i'm
proyement, and already that portion of the
county resembles an old and long settled
country.
The Santa Fe road will undoubtedly pass
up this bottom at some not very remote
day, which will furnish market for stock
and all kinds of agricultural products, equal
to the most favored portions of the East
The first step in this direction will be the
establishment of quick mail communica-
tons between these points and Kansas City
via Emporia, which will take place next
season. This will do much to open the
center of Kansas to the influx of immigra-
ton, and add to the value of its position as
the center of a great commonwealth.

Sore.

We noticed that after the result of the
last balloting at the Ottumwa Convention
was announced, some of the defeated can
didates acted as though they felt sore-vo-
ted very savagely against making the
nominations, unanimous spoke disparging-
ly of the successful candidates, etc. Be
calm and patient, gentlemen. All of you
could not be nominated, and you have on
ly experienced the ''fortune of -
There is plenty of time for you all yet if
you should live to your ''three score and
ten;'.' and if you should mever succeed you
can charge it to the ignorance and want of
appreciation on the part of the people, and
as another instance of the fact that ere
publics is ungrateful." Keep cool.

The Nominees

The ticket put in nomination by the OF
tumBa Convention will be found at the
head of our columns to-day. The names
on it are those of genuine Free State men
Republican in sentiment and action
The first named-LAWRENCE D. BAILEY,
Madison-is well known to the citizens of
this portion of the district as man of un-
impeachabie honor and integrity, sound
judgement, solid talent, and of eminence
as a lawyer, and of good moral character.
He is also an indefatigable worker" and
his energy and talent will give him con-
spicuous position In the next House. Mr..
Bailey is emphatically a man of tie people.
His whole sympathy and labor is with them
and for them, and his sleepIess vigilance,
for their interests will be appreciated. AS
a sound lawyer Mr.. Bailey viii be of in
valuable assistance in extricating the peo-
pie from the maze of doubt and litigation
into which the lily gotten up and conflict
ing enactments of last winter have subject
ed them. In every respect his nomination
was most fortunate one. Pledged TO no
local interest, he will be untrammeled in
his exertions for the good of the whole
people.
7. R. ROBERTS, of Bourbon, is a young
man of considerable talent, and is the pres
ent Free State Sheriff of that county. He
will also go into the Legislature untram-
meied by pledges to local interests, and we
predict that he will achieve an enviable
reputation. He placed himself squrrely on
the Free Labor platform of the Convention.
and viii always be found on the ''right
side'' politically.
WM. SPRIGGs, of Anderson, is gentle
man whose acquaintance it has been our
good fortune to enjoy for some time
Without the polish and finish of ''man of
the world,'' he has those sterling qualities
of honesty, integrity, and moral worth,
combined with untiring industry, which
will commend him to those with whom he
comes in contact. He can neither be fiat
tered or bribed He was the unanimous
choice of his delegation, and we doubt not
of the people of his county.
These three men viii do much to redeem
| the character of the ''disfranchised dis
tricts'' from the reproach cast upon them
by the dolts and dastards who assumed to
represent them in the last Legislature
Their constituents may rest assured of one
thing-that the present unjust apportion-
ment Will be right speedily remedied, and
other matters of pressing. general interest
be looked after. The delegation from these
districts will compare favorably with that
of any other district.

.~Fhe Democracy are n-disinte=
grated dissolved. From the Atlantic. to
the Pacific the field is covered with its war
ring factions, and its hostile squsdrons mia-
gle In fierce and deadly fight. In Illinois,
the Little Grant, Douglas, late its most
potent and redoubtable champion. is now IN
open rebellion, maintaining desperate and
doubtful contest against his ancient foes,
while at the same time he has TO sustain the
only thing that ever inspired Gen. Scott
with dread-'.a fire in the rear''-from the
President he helped to elect.
In Michigan Senator Stuart. the last of
the ssHunkers,, heads another successful
revolt, having just been nominated for Gov
ernor of the State, in spite of the most Bit
ter opposition on the part of the Admins
tration. So deep was the ehagrin of the
BUCCANEERS that their leading spokesman,
G. W. Peck, late member of Congress, de-
clared in the Convention, that if he voted
for the nominee she prayed God that no Re
publican might ask him sChy he did IT,
Robert w. Davis, too, recusant Democrat
ic ofiee-holder, beheaded by Buchanan for
his crimes against Lecompton. is nominated
for Congress in the 4th district.
Throughout New England the party is, to
all practical purposes, extinct. 1t retains
in its ranks only the Post-masters and 9TH
er holders whose comfortable conyic-
ton it is, founded on long experience and
observation, that the more odious they be-
come to their fellow-citizens the brighter
are their chances for snug birth in the
Custom House, Army or Navy.
Even in the South these signs of disin-
tegration are not wanting. Henry A. Wise,
a .Pacha of many tails" in the Democratic
host, is in the attitude of stubborn though
inactive rebellion against the Sultan of the
White House. and is evidently sustained by
no small portion of the faithful in the Old
Dominion.
Last, but not least by any manner OF
means, we see Broderick, of California,
''The strongest and fercest spirit
That fought on the Pacific coast,
"Now fercer from revenge"
mastering his clansmen in every glen and
ravine from Shasta to the TETON Pass-in
every vale from San Diego to Trinity Bay
Nor can the ultimate event be at all doubt
full, for DAVID @. BRoDER1cK, with the
Truth for his platform, and his own indom-
liable strength of purpose and iron viii is a
more potent and living force than any other
in the Golden State.
Thus we see that in the only States OF
the North which adhered to the party In
1856. and compelled reluctant victory once
more to perch upon its standard, its foes
are those OF its own household, and to all
outward appearances the epitaph of that
long dominant and naughty organization
may soon be written-'Died of Lecompton
and eating Southern Dirt"
