such people, and it is precisely to men Of this
quality that the United States is perhaps mainly
indebted for its goaheadatiye propensities which
have given them the start Of the msiestie

short sighted neighbors on the other side Of the

Gov. Medar.

The intelligence is confirmed that Mr..
MEDARY is appointed and has accepted
the Office of Governor of Kansas. We
may expect his arrival in the Territory
in the course of few days. Mr.. MEDA-
BY was formerly editor Of the Ohio States
man. On the accession of Mr.. Buchanan
to the Presidency, he was appointed Gov
ernor of Minnesota, which post he filled
until it became State. Since then, he
has filled the Office Of postmaster, at Co
lumbus, Ohio.
We observe that most of our cotempo-
raries, of all parties, have been pitching
in" very generally, to our new Governor,
but on his arrival they will turn toadies,
and atone for their past abuse, with lau-
dations. Mr.. MEBARY is man Of abili-
ty, and though Democrat, yet we have
no doubt he will administer the affairs Of
the Territory in very satisfactory man.

the people of Kansas, we shall sustain hi.

A Laudabla Position.

We are truly glad to see the Topeka
Tribune taking so sensible view of our
political affairs. Speaking of the memo
riable 10th of November Convention, it
says -
eve were in favor of this Convention,
supposing that the Territory would be well
represented, and that measures would be
taken, and platform of principles would
be laid down that would have met with a
cheerful response from every Free State
voter in Kansas. Shawnee county Dds not
represented in full, and ,oe kno,o not mhether
at all, as the nominating Convention that
met at Bro,onville was composed of only
nine delegates, i0hen there should have been
tscenty-One. But one of those there. noani-
mated took the trouble to go to Laurence, and
,0he71 there, WE DO NOT BELIEVE BE REPRE-
SCENTED THE POLITICAL VIEWS OF A MA
JoRITY OF THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTY
We remarked in an issue previous to the
assembling of this convention, that we
cared not what name was attached to our
party, SO that the platform was broad
enough and made of the proper material
Nor did we care. We only wanted har-
mony and unity of action. We wanted
less pickering and more reason; zoe sOant-
ed the Free State party to remain unit an.
til zoe had become State, and to work
more for the interests of the Territory al
large, and less for party politics.

A. D. RICHARDSON, Esq, the able cor.
respondent of the Boston Journal, writing
from Summer, Oct. 9TH, said -
"a Territorial Convention of the Free
State party is called to meet at Lawrence
early in November, and will probably in
itiate the organization Of the Republican
party throughout the Territory
Mr. r. is one of the radicals, and was
q delegate to the 10th of November Con-
yention. These men, after doing all the
mischief in their power, and getting q
Convention called, and predicting the Or
ganization of the Republican party, and
inducing the Democrats to get up an OPP
position organization to head them of, the
poor fellows became alarmed, and let the
Convention go by default. If it were
not that they always elect themselves tc
our Territorial Conventions, these fellows
would never be heard of again ; but as il
is, they will continue to agitate, and make
people believe, as far as they have thu
ability, that they have the good of the
country at heart.

A Rat Story for Children.

The fablists tell of family of Rats
which had snugly ensconced themselves
in garrett, and for long period had been
permitted to occupy it without Interrupt
ton. The old Rat, the progenitor of the
brood, called his little family around him
on one occasion, and stated with much
feeling that he was going out into the
wide world, and expected to be absent for
considerable time. He gave them much
fatherly advice, and finally took his de-
parture, no one knew where, amid the
lamentations of those whose every action
he had councelled for long period.
The little rats searched through the
building in vain for their honored parent,
and made advances into others in the
neighborhood with no better success
After the poignancy of their grief had
somewhat abated, one of them, while
searching through the pantry for food,
discovered upon an upper shelf large
Cheshier cheese. OF course his juvenile
ratship was delighted with the discovery.
After nibbling for time upon it, he re-
turned and reported the happy circum-
stance to the other members of his family.
At the proper time they repaired together
to the department, determined to make a
passage into the cheese, and regale them
selves upon its delicious contents. While
looking around to find the best place of
attack, they discovered an Aperture into
which one of them had the presumption
to attempt an entrance. As he thrust
his nose through, it was suddenly arrested
by something from within, and he was
forcibly elected therefrem. During the
melee the discovery was made that their
absent parent had taken up quarters with
in the cheese, and from its contents he
had drawn his supplies. The little rats
gathered around, delighted with the dis
covery, and begged their parent to come
out that they might embrace him. With
filial affection they told him how sad
they had been since his departure, the
tears all the time trickling down their
cheeks as they implored him to come out
to exchange salututions! After listening
until he was weary with their importuni-
ties, he gave utterance to his thoughts, in
the following impressive language
"Confound you all, your affection fol
me is bounded by your love for CHEESE
You wish me to come out that you may
enter and occupy the place Ivacates'
Saying this, the old rat raised himself
partly upon his hind legs, and looking
his young family full in the face, placed
his right fore foot upon his nose, with his
toes gently extended towards them, while
his left foot was placed in a similar posi-
ton at the extremity of the other, be
exclaimed
"You can't com'it l'
The tale is a melancholy one, and the
little rats scattered over the broad earth
wherever they may be, will read and BE-
wise.

such falshoods. As regards Mr., LEIs, it is
an outrage upon an honest, industrious young
man, first class practical printer, and a
member of the Printers Union at st. Louis,
to thus SANDER him because he stated some
unpleasant facts in regard to the rafting hab-
its of the Republican office. We are assured,
too, that "Ex-Typo" stated falshood when
he represented that the publishers in Leav-
enworth are paying forty cents a thousand;
on the contrary, we are assured by one who
knows, that they are paying but ihirty-ive
cents thousand.

Repueu.u, 10 Popular sorer.ien,r.

The Lecompton Democrat urges that
laws passed at any other place than Lee
compton, would be illegal and void. Do
we understand the Democrat as urging that
the laws enacted in Lawrence last winter
have no 1egal force Pr Or should the
Legislature again convene at Lecompton
and adjourn to Lawrence this winter, that
it would have no illegal force ?'' If so,
we beg leave to express . difference of
opinion. We do not think the Legisla-
ture has the power to remove the capital,
while in a Territorial condition, so that
they would have a just claim upon the
Government for means to erect a capitol
building; but it seems to us the question
is hardly debatable one, as far as relates
to the power of the Legislature, after it
has first assembled, to choose its own
place of doing business. The law-mak-
ing power in no State or Territory has not,
nor could not rightfully be thus restricted.
Congress did not, either in direct language,
or by implication, so declare, as we read
the act neither does Attorney General
BLACK, in his decision, which is by no
mears conclusive, even if he had so de-
sired, express himself on that point. For
the Government to take the position that
the Legislature is bound up in its action
by the bogus Legislature of 1855, is to
convert every conservative Free State man
i'll the Territory into an earnest advocate
for immediate admission into the Union as
State, so we could wipe out this gross
fraud upon US in the shortest way posi-
bic. Indeed, the fraud of the Leaven-
worth Constitution would even be bear
able with such decision of the Admin
istration against us-a decision so repug-
nant to justice, and so greatly at war with
the principles of popular sovereignty"
Should JAMES BUCHANAN, or any of his
subordinates, make such decision, il
would be clearly the duty of the Legisla-
ture to set it at defiance, and the people
of the Territory would sustain them in
doing SO.

On Saturday night last, says the Fort
Scott Democrat, seven armed men entered
the dwelling of JOHN B. STEIN, living on
the Little Usage, in this county. Mr..
Stein was in bed, and before he had time
to dress himself, the thieves presented
their cooked rifles at him, demanding his
money. Stein refused to comply with the
request, saying he had but little money,
and that they could not get, even if they
killed him. Hereupon, one of the thieves
caught up STEMS pants, and rifed the
pockets of knife and half dollar piece.
The crowd then gathered all the valuables
they could find, consisting of coats, pants,
shirts, drawers, bed clothing, and the
dresses and wearing apparel of Mrs. Stein
and children, and then ordered Mr.. Stein
to leave the Territory in five days on per-
il of his life. Mr.. Stein informs US that
he recognized John Hill and Steel, resi-
dents of the same town, as among the
number who committed the outrage.
On the same night, this band or anoth-
err visited the residence of BENJAMIN HA-
LY. in the same neighborhood. Mrs.
Haly had just been confined, not being
able to 60 about the house and attend to
her domestic affairs. The thieves robbed
the house, even taking the bed upon which
Mrs. Haly lay. The house was then fired
and soon burned to the ground. Upon
the solicitation of some of the crowd, the
bed was returned to the helpless mother.
Everything else of value was carried
away. Mr.. Haly charges the theft and
arson upon men living on the Usage, who
formerly acted with Capt. Montgomery,
and gives US the names of David Forbes
and Frank Marshall, whom he says posi-.
lively were there.
We have heard no charge against these
men, except that they were formerly from
south of Mason and Dixon's line, and
claimed the rights the Constitution guar.
antees to every citizen. of enjoying theil
own opinion and exercising it. Thi.
statement is made to us by the gentlemen
themselves, and we give it to the public
as near in their words as possible.

The Demaeogue!

The Leavenworth Times was the hrst
newspaper in Kansas to advocate the i'm
mediate organization of the Republican
party. 1t was bitter in its opposition to
us, because we opposed the movement,
and charged us with being an "Adminis-
tration organ" because we did not favor
it. In a late number of that paper, we
observe the following in regard to the re-
organization of the Free State party:
ave must keep the old and honored
name. We must fling out the old and
trusty banner, and to our aid we must
call the honest, the patriotic and the lib
erty loving. = The Free State
party has passed through severe ordeal
Those who professed the most, have been
the first to desert it. In a dis
organized and distracted condition, be-
tTayed and deserted, we have achieved
another glorious victory"
Vaughan, who was so anxious to estab-
fish Republicanism in Kansas, after sur
veying the whole ground, concluded it
would not do to abandon the "old and
honored name" yet he did propose to en-
graft new issues upon it which would
have been the destruction of the party.
Having been instrumental in producing
division and disorder, as far as be had the
ability, and driven out from it some of the
ablest and best men, and having succeed
ed in effecting an organization of the De-
mocracy, he now talks about "finging out
the old and trusty banner" Such dema-
gogues have no right to be tolerated in
any community. He tells us, "Those
who professed the most have been the
first to desert the party" and it is true.
Who has prcfessed more than those jour
nails which advocated an early organiza-
ton of the Republican party p? And were
they not the very first to desert it ? And
was not Vaughan the leader in this deser-
ton 1t occurs to US that, instead of his
personal articles denunciatory of the edi-
tor of the Herald Of Freedom, ne should be
writing vindication of his own political
tergiversations; and if he has anything
to write about private individuals, we
would suggest he make visit to Milwau-
kee, and look after little of his own per-
sOnal history in that place!
