Bridges for Kansas.

What are we about, while nearly all
the streams in Kansas are almost impassi-
ble in consequence of the rains of the last
two months? 1t does seem to us that it
is time a rigorous and united effort was
made to accomplish so desirable an OBJ
ject as bridging the various streams which
arc necessarily crossed in the business
intercourse of towns. The idea of
waiting, like the traveller of fable, "for the
waters TO flow by" is behind the age, and
particularly SO in this fast country. We
call attention to this subject forthe common
good, and hope measures will at once be
taken to relieve the country from the
present state of things in this regard.
1t may not, perhaps. be out of place to
add here that our attention has been
called to Moseley's Patent Tubular
Wrought Iron Bridge" now being adopted
in the East on account of its durability,
cheapness, and not being liable to destruc-
ton by fire, prairie winds, or other ordina-
ry means. Then, unlike wooden super
structure, it viii not trequire to be renewed
every ten or twelve years, for at the end of
a century it will be about as good as new
if occasionally painted. But We defer
the style of bridge to Others, while we are
content if the people will only move
promptly in the matter of bridging, so
that the intercourse between the different
towns may not be longer obstructed.
We would suggest, however, that our
city of Lawrence has an interest in this
business almost paramount to every other,
and we trust our citizens will not be re-
miss or backward in aid of so desirable a
project.

Thanks.


We are indebted to friend at Fort
Scott, for list of twenty additional SUBJ
scribers to our paper, making something
over forty now sent to that post-office.
We are assured that other names will be
forwarded as soon as the money can be
collected.
We were threateuingly informed some
months ago, that our entire list in the
southern part of the Territory would
leave us, unless we ceased our denuneia-
tions ofthe horse thieves who were infest-
ing that region. With rhe proceeds of
this large list of subscription in our pocket
all at one time, we feel like the preacher,
who had borrowed twenty-five dollars to
carry in his pocket over Sabbath, so as to
make him feel particularly independent
while he gave some of his wealthy pa
rishonsrs general blowing up'' for their
shortcomings.
Our friend win accept our thanks for
his list, and at the same time we take
pleasure in assuring him that our course
shall be Independent and fearless. We
intend to be true to ourself and the cause
we represent. though We should be left
with but single subscriber when the
yesF closes.

ge,urns Of Election.

By instructions to the Judges of Elec-
ton, held last Monday. one copy of the
returns was to be made to the Governor
of the Territory, one to C. W. BABcock,
Esq, President of the Council, and the
other was to be retained by the Judges of
the Election.
Mr.. Babcock is now East, and is expect
ed to remain until about the middle of
August. He made arrangements with
G. W. DEITzbER, Esq, Speaker of the
House, to receive the returns for him,
until his return. Mr.. d. has opened an
Office for their reception at the hardware
store of Messrs. Allen & Gilmore, in this
city, where he will remain, or have a per-
son to set for him, by whom all returns
designed for Mr.. Babcock viii be received.

Backing Down.

The tone of the more ''sagacious" ol
the Republican journals of Kansas indi-
cate change in their line of policy. III
stead of proceeding in formal manner
TO organize the party, they propose nov
to insinuate their leading men and VIE
puIlers into the Free State party. hoping
thus to secure all the Offices ia their 0"n
hands. The people have had enough %
these men, and instead of desiring thsh
services for another period, they design 70
dispense with them entirely; not 'nsI
they are hostile to Republicanisn, Out
because they have no confidence, wna'
ever, in those men who claim TO be tns
special representatives of that party IL
Kansas.
It's certainly amusing 70 see those jour
nails which were so red-mouthed IN tneH
hostility to every person who opposed toe
organization of the Republican paFt! -
this time in Kansas, now gradually drop
ping down from their position. bu'
few weeks and each of them in turn WIZ
deny that they ever gave any eountensn0'
to the movement. Such is human nature
and such is the stability of prOfessed p0ii-
ticians.

begins, most furiously, to bay at him.
Immediately, certain smaller ours begin
u bristle up their names, look as lion-hle
as possible, and echo back his yelpings,
to keep the big dog in countenanee.-
Then-then comes the chorus, in real
canine style. Every cur, and pointer, and
hound, and tchifet, opens his mouth, and
one deafening jargon of snaps. and snarls,
and growlings, and barkings, are commin-
gled, aud rise up to the high vault of
heaven. Orfto speak without figure,
the organs of public abuse and detraetion
speak out, and their sentiments, be they
right or l0rong, true or false, are echoed
and re-echoed throughout the Union
Whatsoever is lovely, and of good re-
port" in character, is most mercilessly
and maliciously inundated upon the altar
of a party, and at the shrine of human
demi-god. This IS the present condition
"of a shameless and polluted press'-and
such publications, as are mere vehicles of
SANDER and falsehood, are tie caSt-of
slough" of that press.
Now, what can be done to reform that
press, is momentous question. | know
of no other possible way than to turn that
whole herd of ignoramus apprentices and
printers boys out of the editorial chair,
into which they have had the singular
audacity and effrontery to hoist them
Selves and to elevate to that responsible
position MEN who possess some talent,
integrity, and "pride of personal charac-
ter" and who cannct be made the mere
sycophantic subseryients of mad ambition.
Bu:, ho.C shall this be effected Here
is the mighty difficulty" l can conceive
of no possible way in which a reform can
be effected, except public opinion be en-
lightened upon the subject, and commu-
nifty resolve, with one consent, to stayUe
such editors out of their Office, by refus-
ing any longer to receive and pay for the
pestiiffeTous progeny of their brains; for they
are mere hiretiags, and bark as they are
hidden.

The Case se,ned.

Lecompton was buried on Monday last,
by the people of Kansas, (says the Leav
enworth Ledger, which we indofse,) be-
yond the hope of resurrection, and with
it, its trainers, aiderS and abettors.
The majority in this city against it,
was overwhelming, and We have every
reason to believe that the vote throughout
the Territory, Except in few localities,)
will be in the same ratio.
The verdict of the people will teach
Presidents, Cabinets, Congress, Politicians
and political vagabonds, that they must
be consulted hereafter concerning the regu-
lation of their domestic affairs" and
that it will be unhealthy for outsiders to
interfere.
We rejoice in common with the people,
that the agitation, strife and contention
that has been going on in our Territory
for the past four years, brought about by
unprincipled political vagabonds for place,
power and the spoils, has ceased; and
from this day forward we will have peace,
happiness and prosperity.
Let US remember the past only to guide
US in the future. We know who have
been our best friends and our worst ene-
mics, and it becomes US to honor the for
mer and discountenance the latter.
The people of Kansas are honest, in
duStrious and intelligent, but haSe suffer
ed themselves, at times, to be led on by
demagogues, spoilsmen and arch -agita-
tors, to acts of omission and commission
which they now regret. We feel conf
dent that they have seen and felt the error
of their ways, and our prayer is they
will do so no more.
The people of Kansas are destined to
be great people, and Kansas the bright.

furled in September 49,"
LIST. Because we have not yet achieved
our political freedom and became an ''in-
dependent State of the Union"
End. Because in our Territorial cspaei-
ty it is not vital to our interests that We
assist political demagogues in the States
TO construct hobby y-horses to ride into
power upon, and give "aid and comfort"
70 them in promulgating the doctrine of
sectionalism.
Sd. Because we believe the people of
Kansas are not prepared to pin their faith
to those journals and that line of policy
which advocates negro equality with one
breath, quotes the Dred Scott decision as
palliation with another; .denounces in
one column popular sovereignty. in an
other claims to be acting under the prin-
ciples of the Organic Act, and in all Ca
ses shows the cloven foot of abolitionism.
4th. Because we believe that before we
are permitted to exercise the elective
franchise for the chief magistracy of the
Nation, mighty change will come over
the spirit of the dreams of the people of
this confederacy, and that a party with
true Republican basis will be formed, di-
viding the two extremes, abolitionism on
the one side and ire-eating fanaticism on
the other, and thaG there remains re-
dundancy of conservative material to
sweep the length and breadth of the land.
'When, then, those issues become vital as
they will be- dominant, it will be time
enough to divide our organization by
these tests, the importance of which we
fully recognize"

but they are the men who proposed to
take charge of the ship of State. and who
purposed running her into port, or any
where else, so they could get possession of

Though CHARLES ROBINSON and the
Editor Of the Herald Of Freedom have
neither retracted word, both of US have,
no doubt, felt that much of our difficulty
wasowingto to the peculiar Circumstances sur
rounding us. While in camp, we had a
riqht TO be nervous and sensitive. Had
we been otherwise, it would have belied
all our past history. What followed, when
both of us enjoyed our freedom, others
are responsible for. If we are friends
again, circumstances have made us such,
and we are proud that circumstances were
such as they were-being none other than
those which had in view the securing of
half a continent to freedom.
