More News from the Gold Regions.
4 Judge Baker, Just down from Council
Grove, brings as some important intelligence
from the Kansas gold regions. Three
young men-two Georgians aud one Mis-
sourian-had arrived at the Grove few
days since. from Cherry Greek. One o
them named Young, exhibited three hun
dred and thirty three dollars of gold dust,
which he had washed himself, and stated
that he had made as high as eleven dollars
per day, with the rudest of implements
These men we're on their way to Kansas
City, where they expect to outfit with pro-
visions and suitable Implements, and return
Immediately.
This information is simply confirmation
of what has heretofore been received There
can be no doubt of the existence of gold in
paying quantities at the base of the Rocky
Mountains.

Advancing.

The material interests of the Territory
seem to be rapidly advancing, and thrifty
and intelligent population is coming to us
from all parts-especially from Iowa and
Minnesota, which would seem to be depop-
ulating on account of the excessive coldness
of the past two winters.
The financial revulsion which has been
so severely felt in most of the new States,
happened at time fortunate for the people
of Kansas. 1t checked the speculating
mania in its inception, and before the real
property of our towns and country had been
inflated in value, and encumbered with
mortgages. It has had the effect to show
what is real and what is MISUNDERSTANDING
things to their proper standards. Of the
many paper towns which marred our beau
tiful domain, the stakes alone remain to tell
the traveller of their site-while those points
which, by their favorable natural locality or
improvements, are destined to be of impor-
tance, are rapidly developing.
Money is usually scarce, and as conse-
quence property sells at lower price now
than at any prior time within two years, and
to such as are prepared for investment, the
best of opportunities now present themselves.

3 Election Day.

We apprehend that many of our fellow
citizens squander a rare opportunity fol
observation and study by failing to spend
each annual election day in attendance on
the polls. With us, it is matter of prin-
ciple and duty to spend that day, so nearly
as we may, in getting In as many legal votes
for the right side, and keeping out as many
illegal ones for whatever side, as we may
and there is hardly another day of the three
hundred and sixty-fve that adds so largely
to our stock of treasured experience and
food for thought. Here are few of our re-
Elections suggested by our last days work
at the poll of our election district.
Every drunkard, gambler, Ioafer, rowdy,
ignoramus, ninny-to their credit be it said
lis sure to be on hand at every election,
and to vote at least once while the sober,
quiet, intelligent, discerning citizens, who
pre- -eminently ought to be there, are too apt
to stay away. They do not exactly mean to
neglect their duty to the public, but they
readily find or make excuses for so doing
This election day is stormy, or threatens to
be, and they do not like to 60 !; the next is
fair, and they have crops that must be saved,
or business that must be done. If there be
a single candidate on the ticket they usually
vote who is distasteful to them, they are not
content to erase his name, but refuse to
vote; even the fact that one they wished
nominated is not on the ticket sHffices as an
excuse for staying away from the poll. A
little illness-some family afaiction or mis-
fortune-any thing that can be magnifed
into an excuse for indolence-sufiees. We

The result of the late elections In the
Northern States has made plain one fact
that there are but tpo political parties in
existence north of Mason & Dixon's line.
No party built upon unfounded prejudices
against race or color-no middle party OF
any kind longer has an existence. Know
Nothingism, and fanatical Abolitionism
have both been crushed out and driven
from the field by the struggle between the
two great principles which are striving
for dominancy in the nation-FREE LABOR
and SLAVE LABOR. There is really no mid
die ground in the contest, and can be none.
The issue has been made up, and however
much political pettifoggers may seek to
dodge and shirk it, that cause will be tried
before the American people as jurors, and
a verdict rendered, before any minor causes
can be tried.
Know Nothingism made its last struggle
in New York and Massachusetts,, and Ger
rit Smith led the last "forlorn hope'' of
Abolition and fag-endism in the Guberna-
torlal canvass IN New York. Nothing re-
mains of either faction. The adherents of
these factions will now be obliged to take
place in the ranks of either the Free Labor
or the Slave Labor party. The great trial
of strength between these two parties will
take place in 1860. Everything is shaping
itself to that point. The struggle will be
a fierce one. But there can be no doubt of
the result if the free North is true to her
self-true to the great principles which
have been the foundation stone of her sue
cess and progress. Between to-day and
the battle of 1860 there is room and time
for labor. Let the adherents of Free La
Dor see to it that their cause does not lose
by their inactivity.

OF that one don't pay his debts or the other
|fir;nkz-and so on. So far as these scruples
tend to keep rad men off the ticket, or ont
.of Office. we say ,Ameni But it is often
carr;el much further than this-further
than reason win justify. We saw on Tues
day q thrifty, intelligent, conscientious cit
izen, who would have voted the Republican
tieketif any. deliberately erase every name
ON a Republican ballot but that of a single
candidate for county Office, and then vote
It. In reply to all remonsirances, he insist
ed that he didn't know anything about any
of the candidates but this one-he wasn't q
psrty man-didn' q understand the questions
IN issue, dc. But he ought to have under
stood then-it was his pfain dssfy 10 do 50,
and to make inquiries as to the character
and worth of the candidates respectively.
His ignorance, whether real or exaggerated,
was no real excuse-it was In itself crime
against the public veal, and one that can
hardly fail of invoking penalty.
It is sad fact that men who are usually
sober and decorous VIII often drink to the
verge sometimes over the verge-of in
toxication, on the day set apart for the dis
charge of the most grave and momentous
public duty. a dance at funeral or a fight
in church would be quite as seemly and ap-
propriate.
The seething, boiling ocean of drunken
ness, fighting, rioting, illegal voting, brib-
cry, puJury. stolid ignorance and stubborn
prejudice, which go so far toward making
up an average election, would seem about
as unlikely foundation for liberty, justice
aud protection to public and private rights,
as the heart of corrupt minister or the
brain of foolish king. Yet, like the light
ming from the cloud, like the honey from
Samson's lion, like the pure metal from the
glowing furnace into which such diverse
and forbidding elements have been season
ably cast, it will hardly be denied that the
average results of our Elections do reflect
pretty faithfully the successive phases of
the public mind and give much force to the
adage that "The voice of the People is the
voice of Cody. Y Tribune

The Territorial Tax

We stated few weeks since that the
amount of tax collected the present year for
the support of the Territorial government
would be at least thirty thousand dollars
The returns that have been made to the
Board of Equalization indicate that the three
mill tax alone will amount to nearly forty
thousand dollars, while the capitation tax
willamount to nearly twenty thousand more.
The people of Kansas viii pay not less than
tgty thousand dollars this year for the sup
port of Mr.. Buchanan Territorial Govern
ment-enough to support an economical
State Government. We wonder how long
the people viii consent to support foreign
government at heavier cost than would be
necessary to support one of their own.

Illinois a Republican State.

An antique apportionment law, based up
on facts which ceased to be facts eight years
ago, has given Mr.. Douglas majority in
both branches of the Legislature but there
is no room for doubt that the Republican

of the Senator's seeming triumph, it is true

The Free State Convention.

The Convention of the Free State party
which was called to meet at Lawrence on
the 10th inst, was essentially failure
Less than twenty delegates out of one hun
dred to De chosen, were present. One
reason for this was undoubtedly the almost
impossible condition of the roads; but the
main reason was that there is not enough
respect left among the old adherents of the
Free State party to come up to its funeral,
and see that it was decently inferred. So
the old carcass goes knocking about. blown
hither and thither by every gale. There is
no vitality whatever in the old Free State
organization; and if ever it is resuscitated

its enemies, and who would use it as COW

about their various avoeations, and have
but little time to attend to such matters

they have gone, they want rest
The Free State party viii never be formal

sity for any further action. Of course
