WEST HAyES. Dec. IL, 1857.

! WEST hASEz, Lee. II, 1901.
Ny FRIEsD For many months have
| I read the aEeraa Of Freedom very
closely and carefully. / have read other
papers, differing on some points and mea-
sures with you. While early last autumn
my mind was in some little degree of
doubt, from partial ignorance of facts as
they were known to you, have come to
the conclusion that you have eyinced a
remarkable acquaintance with men and
things in Kansas, good if not perfect
foresight of events, and wisdom to plan
in the emergencies that future events have
fully JUSTIFIED.
How some particular men may act, Gas
Senator Douglas) cannot always be fore
seen by finite minds.
The number of November %, I have
read with very deep interest. I think
that your course viii hereafter meet with
more extended public appreciation than
it does at present. And your recommen-
dation to vote on the Constitution, Though
as the one on the other must be voted for
if vote be cast at all, other persons OBJ
ject) l could heartily appreciate with
the suggestions in your paper of the 18th
ult. that the Legislature use their power
to alter the Constitution" as enabled
through the past Territorial legislation
to alter, of course, by vote of the people.
But, as matters are now taking turn
before Congress, the necessity of voting on
the 21st inst. may be obviated. Yet
strong vote for one of the Constitutions,
and for officers may be ''choice between
two evils" as it is called-a choice of the
good consisting in the less esaz in the one
Constitution than in the other; and it
may, in future, be seen to be most salu-
tary step, for there is no telling what will
be the issue of matters now pending in
Congress. God favor the right, and give
all needed wisdom to achieve it :.
Little had l thought at this distance,
that such deep, internal plot had been
laid by your enemies. After Walker dis |
carded the fraudulent votes, rejoiced in
the final and complete triumph of the
Free State cause in Kansas. Oh how |
can men act so wiekedly! d day Of ret
ribation must come for them
/ have taken and read your paper from
the first of its publication. l have been
greatly profted in its perusual I" The
History of Kansas" is THRILLINGLY IN

safes for the subscription price of the pa
per.
l do not see how any persons can cease
to take it, at the present crisis, too, unless
financial disabilities oblige them SO to do.

venience to myself. And regret much
that have not been able to induce 9TH

Doniphan.

A friend just down from Doniphan,
gives Us very favorable impression of the
Progress Of that portion of the Territory.
He states that tie country there is nearly
filled up, and generally occupied by claim
ants. Doniphan contains population of
about 1,20O, and claims to be the third
town in the Territory in population and
position. Being situated on the great
western bend of the Missouri, and in the
heart of q fertile region of country, and
the natural shipping point for the Great
Nemaha Valley, it cannot be else than a
first class point. It's only rival on the
Missouri, is Atchison, which is five and a
half miles distant Doniptsn is necessa-
rily on the route of travel from st. Joseph,
the terminus of the Hannibal and St.
Joseph Railroad, to Topeka, Tecumseh
and Emporia. aud is only about twenty
miles distant from the former place, and
fifty five from Topeka.
When last Spring emigration commenced
there was but one place of trade in the
town, now there are at least dozen,
several of which will compare with any
of the tirst class towns. Improvements
are still going on. among which is large
Touring mill; and two steam saw mills are
nov in operation.
Opposite the town in Missouri is an
inexhaustable supply of timber, owned,
principally, by persons interested in the
town. The parties engaged in establish
ing an omnibus line from st. Joseph to
Topeka, connecting with Emporia, with
other lines, are located at Doniphan, and
are now engaged in collecting stock pre-
paratory to commencing business at an
early day in the Spring.
An illustrated Free State newspaper
will be located at this point as soon as the
publishers can get subscribers enough to |
justify the experiment.

shall We vote or Not vote,

THIS Is A QUESTION OF GREAT IMPOR-
L lance. My own opinion is that we ought not
TO vote; but this difference of opinion will by
no means prevent me from selling all the goods
can to those who see fit TO vote under the infer
nal superintendent act of the bogus authorities.
hitherto repudiated By sll our friends.
Supposing, however, that the voters win vast
ly outnumber the non-yoters. have made espe-
cial arrangements for their accommodation, not
in the way of voting. but in the way of supply
ing them with GROCERIES and PROV VISIONS
at the Leayenworth and Kansas prices.
The attention of the settlers on the Neosho,
Usage, de-. is particularly called to this arrange
uent.
On or about the lst Of October ] shall take
possession of my new store, which Is Of soiid
stone. with brick front. thus affording an excel
lent opportunity for refugein time Of war; and is
three stories high and sixty feet long. My OBJ
ject is to sell at wholesale at precisely the same
as the Leavenworth wholesale stores, with the
addition of freight from LeaTenHorth here.
This will enable the distant settlers. to obtain
their supplies, without being being absent from
home more than half as long as if they went TO
Leayenuorth. Ef
Full particulars when the Store is opened.

Peoria City.

fThis town, situated at the junction Of the
i Usage River with Ottawa Greek, in Frank
lin County Kansas Territory-bids fair to eclipse
many of her sister towns in population and en-
terprise.
There is now in operation good Steam Saw
Mill with power sufficient TO run pair of Burrs
which will be attached soon. There are also two
good Single Machines capable of cutting from
six to eight thousand shingles each, per-day.-
Timber Is plenty, and as good as can be found in
any portion of the TERRITORY. Land is of the best
quality, both for farming and stock raising.
There is Post Office, two Dry Goods, and two
Grocery and Provision Stores here already
There is fine opening formechanics of nearly all
kinds; good Blacksmith is much needed; also o
Shoemaker, Carpenters, and other mechanics
