treme party here. As a National man in
feeling, and a lover of the Union, he
deemed it unnecessary and unadvisable.
He expected when the proper time come
to take his stand with party opposed to
slavery, yet believing the Union safe and
could be perpetuated by the admission of
both Free and Slave States. His own
feelings were adverse to the extesion of
slavery, yet the doctrine of popular sove-
reignty, the right of the people to make
their own choice and manage their own
affairs, was a correct one, aud he for one,
would strictly adhere TO aud abide by it.
He would use the Government against
the extension of slavery, only in strict ac-
cordance with the Constitution, leaving
the people to mould their domestic insti-
tutions in accordance with the will of the
majority fairly and freely expressed.
We regret that we have not Mr.. Par
rott's speech at full length to lay before
our readers, and the imperfect sketch we
have made of il, is almost exclusively
from memory. His language, gesticula-
tons and manner are chaste and elegant ;
his voice good, and as aspeaker he is quite
prepossessing. A young man of scarce
thirty years of age, as a Lawyer and
Statesman, he has before him a bright
future, and as the hearts of the people are
with him, he holds his destiny as it were
in his own hands. We hope to have the
pleasure of hearing from him again, and
feel satisfied that the people of Franklin
county will give him cordial greeting.

Forfeited Interests.

All those persons owning stock in Min
neola, and who have failed to meet their
payments for the same, are respectfully
referred to an advertisement in re lation to
their cases, in another column. @
The Board of Directors have granted
further extension of time, in which such
forfeited interests may be redeemed, and
we would advise all those who are among
this class, to secure their interests without
delay. No town in Kansas Territory has
made more substantial improvements in
the same length of time than Minneola.
The first lick was struck here on the 28th
of February last, and in less than -four
weeks the Capitol House was completed,
being 40 by 70 feet, three stories high,
and built at cost of $1,000. There is
now q two story business house, so by 40
feet, nearly completed, and will be occu-
pied Immediately. Two other business
houses are already in full blast, four
dwelling houses completed, and four more
under way, one of which, brick, will
cost $4,000. A steam saw and grist mill
is in operation, and last, though not least,
Minneola has free and independent
press, established on firm basis. Also

0T During the past two weeks there
have been numerous sales of land in this
vicinity to persons lately arrived from the
East, and also soms to old residents. Our
old friend Mark Patty, from the Virdigris,
has been investing pretty largely on the
Cottonwood. As near as we have been
able to ascertain, something near thirty
thousand dollars, worth of land has
changed hands during the past three
weeks. Most of this has been sold at
very fair prices, and but little of it mas
gone into the hands of speculators This
has, Of course, put large amount of
money into circulation in the community,
and will partially relieve the stringency
that has long existed. Considerable
amounts Of money are being almost daily
brought into the country, and it is i'm
possible that It should be without effect.
We believe that this fall will witness COM

Tha Gold EaYar.

The gold fever has risen in our city to
the highest degree of temperature, and in
less than thirty days from this date, there
will not be less than two hundred persons
leave this city for the diggins. Old fogies
may attempt to throw cold water on the
progressive spirit of Young America, but
it will DO no good, the boys will go and
there's an end ont.
Parties will call this "gold news" from
Pixies Peak humbug from interested
motives the same "hus and cry" was
raised about California, and we may al
ways expect to hear "hue and cry I"
raised from those who never have any
enterprise or spirit.
We have as much confidence in this
gold news" as we have that We are living,
and the facts of the case warrant us IN
making the assertion. Gentlemen of
character and standing, whom We know,
and in whom we can coutids, have been
there and have exhibited to our citizens
specimens of the gold found. Not only
has that been the case in this city, but in
Kansas City, st. Joseph, and various other
places, and all agree Except few old
fogies in our own midst, that we have a
new Ell Dorado within our grasp. More
than this, the gold news is confirmed BY
the last mail from Salt Lake, the conduct
or of which informed the press of St
Joseph that large bodies of settlers from
the South Platte were moving to the gold
diggings. Lieut.. Warren of the U. S.
Typographical Engineers in his report
speaks in the most fiattering terms con-
ccrning the mineral resources of that sec
ton of country, and yet in the face of all
this testimony, few old grannies call i,
a humbug.
We trust that stump orators'' will
consider all the facts of the case ere they
fly off the handle. The "gold news y
from Pixies Peak is not a humbug but q
reality.-Kansas Daily Ledger.

DR.. Charles Lieb

This scape- grace came into Kansas and
squatted at Leavenworth City, in the fall
of '55, or early in '56 purporting to have
originated in Pennsylvania. His pre-
tended devotion to the Free State party
was boundless in extent, and he seemed
willing to go farther than the most ultra
Abolitionists in not only making Kansas
free, but in bitter invectives against Frank
Pierce's Administration and the patent
Democracy of the day. -2 tf-
His fruitful imagination projected divers
and sundry methods of ridding ourselves
of Border Ruffians from Missouri and
the Southern States, as also obnoxious
appointees of the Federal Government.
After setting on foot numerous pro-
grammes, portion of which have become
subject matter of expose in the Halls of
Congress, he left Kansas, as he averred, to
canvass Pennsylvania and other States, to
right the people thereof, as to this intri-
cate, complicated plot or imbroglio which
had been gotten up against an innocent
and almost defenceless people.
We soon hear of this scape-grac mis-
representing our citizens, their cause and
their purposes. Failing to receive the
nomination for Delegate to Congress from
Kansas, he becomes our enemy as far as
brains and obscenity would permit him,
and assumed the paternal guardianship of
little six by eight coffee bsg campaign
sheet in Chicago, called the Bugle, through
which he assisted in blowing into power
the greatest of all Pro-slavery Admins
tratiOns. a.

the part of Charles Leib, NJ. D., Dir. Bu-
chanan gives him the appointment oi

nations of an abominable, corrupt and
disgraceful Administration. He claims tc
speak from authority, and in this light i;
looked upon as special emissary of old
Buck, to assist in the " crushing out" O.
every prominent man in Illinois, who il
the least favors the doctrine "that the peo
pie of Kansas shall be permitted to mould
their domestic institutions in their owl
wav."
This M. D. should be passed around;
