GIVE had call from our friends Messrs.
Patterson and Young, Of Iowa City, last
evening on their return from trip to Kan
sas. They left Leavenworth on Thursday
night, having spent several days in the Ter.
risory. They gathered the impression that
the English Lecompton swindle ordinance
would have no show at all at the polls. It
regarded universally BY the people Of Kan
sas ~ an outrage and IN insult, and many
that have been heretofore strong pro slavery
men will vote against it--some Of them be-
cause they view it in that light, and others
on the ground that free soil enhances the
value Of the soil and promotes immigration
and improvement.

advice TO those having good trades and plenty
Of work, who think about emigrsting to
lows, 10 to stay at home.-[Cin. Times.
We also saw that "long friend' about a
year ago. He was then trying to make pave
ments here, and the conclusion We came to
from witnessing his operations was that he
was "sbout ready to dry up" and . city or
town made up Of such - he couldn't help
drying up. We wish the Times much Joy in
his presence, and We hope be will keep on
advising people to stay at home, a. We are
sure that those he would BIO likely to influence
are just the ones 10 don't want.
