OF The Southern Kansas Herald, print
ed at Osawatomie, published the ticket of
the Free State party, and says that it was
the determination of the District ConYen-
ton to support it. We learn that it was
done, and that it received nearly the en-
tire vote of the party in Lykins county,

eth several sewing societies in
Lawrence gave Union Festival, at the
J johnson House, on Tuesday evening last.
tnere were nearly two hundred persons
IN attendance. The supper served up by
the hostess of the johnson House. was
very excellent. and did credit to the
ladies' engaged in preparing it. A suar
speech, made by Gen. LANE, about nine
O'Clock IN the evening, precipitated mat
tiers, and broke up the social circle, which
till then had been unusually interesting.

World Moves.

We are happy to observe that some Of
the Kansas papers which have been the
most violent in favor of the Topeka Con-
and opposed to any relief from
Congress, are now advocating the passage
of an enabling act by that body. q This
world moves.n There is proof of it, and
we are truly grateful that such is the case.

Walker Arrested.

Gen. WALKER, the pirate, has been
arrested, and brought back to the United
States. 1t is understood that the Secre-
tary of State, Gen. CAss, is highly in
censed at the arrest, and the probability
seems to be that Commodore PAULD1NG
will be removed for his extra-judicial
act.

The Topeka Constitution.

The love for the Topeka Constitution
is said not to be on account of the excel
lence of that instrument, or the popular
ity of the officers elected under it, but
because it embodies the principles of pop
,slar sovereignty. Any other Constitution,
owing its origin to the popular will,
may be just as popular as the Topeka
Constitution, and far less exeeptionable.
Let us have new one, then, as speedily
as possible, which is not lacking excel
lence, or popular officers.
