VICE President BRECKENRIDE AND The
WING PARTY.-"But one political party
has survived the Slavery struggle. The
Wing party then went down before it
the noblest party / ever saw except my
own-bold, open-with lis banners all to
the breeze, and its principles al on them"
1t is afashion with small beer Demo
cratic politicians observes the Lynch
burg Virginian ITO indulge in extravaganza,
but hypocritical eulogy Of the old Wing
psrty-but we scarcely expected TO see
such a compliment on the lips OF the Vice
President Of the United States. Yet, such
is reported to be the language OF Mr.,
Breckenridge at a recent Democratic eel
ebration in Kentucky.
We cannot understand how any Dem
ocrat can have the conscience to speak
thus of the Wing party. If the memory
of the approbrious terms by which that
party was formerly designated were not
so recent, there might be some policy in
it, perhaps-but it is passing strange that
Democratic memory should be so short
as TO forget the infamous terms in which
it was their wont to speak of the Wings,
when the latter were contesting with them
the control of the Government.
At their National Convention in Balti-
more, in 1852, it was deliberately resolv-
ed and made part of the platform, that
the Wings considered no imposture too
y1onsfrouS for The popular credulity.'
Such were the words with which they
characterized the Wing party he'1-and
vet they now have the boundless impu-
dence to rereat. day after day, the most
extravagant eulogies upon the Old Wing
party. Can the "force of" hypocrisy
''further go ?" In view of the circum-
stances, would it not be perfectly legit-
innate conclusion that there is no "impos-
ture" which the Democracy consider ''too
monstrons for the popular credulty ?-

~We want Slavery abolished by
law in Kansas by the next Legislature
Geory City Era, Sept 25th.
We want no such thing-that is, in the
sense in which the Era intends it. We
should all like 10 see Slavery ontof Kan
sas, and have her admitted as a Free
State but we do not want our Legisla-
ture to place itself in opposition to the
laws Of the country 1t has been decided
that Slavery exists in Kansas. We dep
recate that decision but notwithstanding
this, it is still in force, and we must obey
until the decision is reversed. We want
the next Legislature to do something for
the people-pass needful laws-and not
spend their time in quarrelling over things
not within their province. Just such
doctrines as are preached up by the Era,
have been flung into the faces of the Free
State men during the campaign just end
ed, and against such things, we had to
contend. While we write, we are in ig-
norance as to the result of the election.
The Free State ticket, If elected, has
probably succeeded BY only small ma
jority but successful or defeated, it has
lost many votes by just such stuff as the
Era breaches up. Because some few IA
natics in the party are wild on the Abo-
lition issue. the party have to bear the
blame, and suffer for it. We say, let Kan
sas soon be admitted as Free State but
as long as she remains Territory, let the
laws which have been prescribed for her,
be observed.

GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WooL.-0ne
evening last week, an excited individual
in town, rushed into an establishment,
exclaiming:
Jim Lane is in town--have you seen
him? On him, I'd know him among
thousand. l want to get a chance at
him. I'll give him hell p
He flirted away, to impart Lis discov-
cry to some one else. He had scarcely
departed, before another excited parsonage
made his appearance, spluttering ont a;
"Jim Lane is in town. l knew him as
soon as saw him. Would know him,
thousand years from now. He don't
look bit older than he did sixteen years
ago, when he and my father RATED logs
down the Wabash ~
Then out he hurried, to spread the
startling news. When the curiosity Of
the citizens was beginning to be aroused,
it was discovered that the Jim Lane which
so many knew at first sight, was none
other than one of the candidates for the
Legislature. Like the niger that went
to hear George White6eld preach, the
two excited individuals referred to, had
"dirtied themselves for nothing"

INDIAN SUNMER.-We are now in the
midst of what is known as "Indian Sum-
mer." 1t is regarded by many as the
most pleasant month of the year. It is
excellent for the erops.-HM Co. Ne,rs.
Perhaps the editor of the News is not
aware that there is not now any month
known as Indian Summer. There are
but twelve months in the year. the names
of which can be found in the Almanac.
There used to be thirteen months-the
thirteenth was called Indian Summer
but it was abolished during John Tyler's
Administration. Indian Summer is now
simply short season, occupying the po-
sition Of side degree in Masonry-very
pretty and agreeable. but not necessary to
the existence Of the great structure itself.
We would likewise state that Indian
Summer has not yet arrived. We will
have some pretty heavy frosts, and prob
ably some hard freezes, before the pleas.
ant month of Indian Summer arrives.

ting each others threats, will benefit no
town. but on the contrary. win do then
more harm than good. We have never
been able to see what cause this place and
Forest have for opposition to each other,
as we do not believe that their interests
conflict. In fact. we are inclined to be-
Iieve that their mutual prosperity will be
benefit to each other. The extract below
contains one slight error. 1t is not the
Town Company who are erecting the
Pork establishment it is the individual
enterprise of Oziss Bailey, Esq. who is
at this time President of the Town Com.
.pany. He is a man Of capital. e.crgy,
and business tact, who has for years been
extensively engaged in the pork business
in Illinois, and perhaps understands the
business about as thoroughly as any man
in the West. With these remarks, we
present the extract from the Monitor:
WHITE CLOUD CoMPAKY.-We learn
that tho White Cloud Town Company
are building large Pork Packing
establishment in our County opposite the
town of White Cloud This is an ex-
cellent move, and will, we trust, be a
good Investment. We need another Pork
House in this upper country, in order to
get up a competition which will result in
benefit to the farmers. The White
Cloud men are the right kind to take
hold Of the matter, as they accomplish
and carry On successfully what they I'M
dertake. They have built up a fine town
in a short time, and now il they I'M
dertake it, they will build up the farming
interests OF the surrounding country. We
wish them success. and do not consider
their town a rival of Forest City. There
is room for both. and they are SO situated
that they can both succeed, and we have
no doubt will. Both being river towns,
they have advantages over other places in
the interior.

VrsIr To WHITE CLouD.-We made a
flying visit few days ago to our neigh
boring town White Cloud, and was truly
surprised to see the spirit of enterprise
manifested by the citizens in building,
grading, &c. Such enterprise certainly
deserves to succeed well, and we could
only wish. while viewing these things. that
the citizens of Rulo would profit by their
example.
In going to White Cloud. we passed
over a most beautiful country, and could
but regret that so much of this lovely
country should be held either by the In
dians or distant spectators. 1h
We did not fail to call on Sol. Miller,
editor of the Chief, whom we found in
his Office with him we spent an hour
very pleasantly. Altogether, we had a
very pleasant trip, and only regretted we
had not more time to spend with our
neighbor Sol.-RElo Guide.

WHAT MEANS IT?-We find the follow
ing notice at the head of the first editorial
column of the Geary City Era, Of Sept.
25th:
The junior editor is alone responsible
for the sentiments expressed in the edito-
rails Of this weeks number.
What does it mean? The editorials
are principally articles 10 favor Of the
election of the Free State ticket. Yet
one of the editors throws their response
bility upon the other, and disowns them?
What influence can he expected to arise
from articles in paper, strongly advoca-
ting one side of question, when the SEN
ior editor of the paper throws the response
bility upon his junior, and gives the pub
lie notice that he dissents from the views
therein expressed ? A happy time they
must have.
We begin TO suspect that there is some
truth in the report that Thompson, after
permitting his name to go before the Free
State Convention, as a candidate for
Representative; and not succeeding in
that, offering himself for School Com
missioner and failing in that, bolted the
whole ticket, and went in for the mongrei
Democratic Pro- Slavery ticket. How is
it? We hope it is not true but appear
ances indicate thst it is

CoUxTY UFFIcERs.-There WAS no
election, for County officers, on Monday
AT least, the judges of election in this
Township did not count such votes. We
were told that Tuesday next is the day
set for electing these officers. We have
likewise been told that Gov. Denver has
expressed his determination not to grant
certificates 70 County officers elected at
this time; and that the substance Of this
declaration was published in recent
number of tue Lawrence Republican. 1t
escaped our notice. Can any one inform
us what is the truth Of the matter?
Since writing the above, we have ex-
smined Gov. Denver's proclamation,
Hesays that the law relating to the off,
css of County Treasurer and Auditor,
passed by the last Legislature, conflict
with, laws previously in existence. under
which officers were elected, whose term:
have not yet expired. He recommend;
that the people permit the election to &c
by default, and that the coming Legisla'
ture make some arrangement in thu
matter.
