Killed.


A committee of the Legislature, s. s..
COOPER, ESQ.,, as Chairman, to whom was
referred the concurrent resolutions of the
Topeka Legislature, reported two resolu-
tions in response, which was adopted as
the voice of the Legislature on that sub
ject, as follows -
"That we have every confidence in the
wisdom, patriotism, and prudence of the
Free State Legislature that we believe
the movement it represents originated in
the public necessity, and that it is their
privilege to take such action in their own
capacity as they may think legitimate and
proper, they being responsible for their
own action, and we not for them.
"And the Territorial Legislature is not
legitimately in aposition to dictate or con-
cur in their acts; we have only to respect
fully reiterate to them the course of ac-
ton which we shall pursue, as clearly in
dicated in the resolution passed by this
body. to the effect that we would proceed
to the enactment of an entire code of
laws, which shall supersede all laws or
pretended laws passed prior to the special
session of this present Legislature"
Thus, it viii be seen, the attempt to
destroy our legal Legislature, for partisan
purposes, is ended. The Topeka move
ment has outliyed itself, and its friends
should allow il. to quietly disappear from
public gaze. Still, we understand, it is
engaged, through a committee, in the
foolish work of preparing code.

A State Government.

A bill has passed the lower House, and
is pending in the Council, providing for
anew Constitutional Convention, to form
a Constitution for the State of Kansas.
We suggested another line of policy, on
our first page this week, but it does not
seem to meet the appreciation of our Ter
ritorial Legislature; as Mr.. BADGER, a
member of the House from Atchison coun-
ty, submitted it to the consideration of
that body, and it was rejected with but
one vote in its favor. It is understood
that the Free State members had previ-
ously decided in caucus upon adopting
the other line of policy, to wit: to pro-
eeed at once to make preliminary arrange
ments for organizing State Government.
1t is possible the plan of the Legislature
is the best one. 1t seems to be endorsed
by several leading members of Congress,
by Gov. Wise, of Virginia, and our own
correspondent at Washington, as will be
seen by his letter in another place, favor
ing it. We have no partiality to any
plan, only to the one which gives indica-
ton of getting us out of our troubles
with the greatest expedition. We desire
to see things settled in time for the spring
emigration, and still hope that it may be
done.

We have letter from Hon. MARCUS J,
PARRoTT, of late date, in which he
states that there is now no danger of the
Lecompton Swindle going through Con-
gress. He seems to look forrelief to Kan
sas through an enabling act, though he
will present bill admitting US under the
Topeka Constitutions agreeable to the
request of several conventions, yet he has
no hope of accomplishing anything By ii.
In, q letter before US, dated Jan. 10th, he
says: " I am truly grateful for the honor
my friends have done me. in placing me
in so responsible a position on the State
ticket" That don't sound much like
repudiating his nomination for Congress.

a dispatch from Ellington states that
Stringfellow, the gteat @Border Rufian,D y
who is now at the Capitol, has written a
long letter denouncing the Lscompton
Constitution, and taking grounds against
its acceptance by Congress. He intended
having it published in the Washington
Union, but that docile and dutiful mouth
piece of the Administration refuses to al
low that great Border Rufian. to de-
molish the President through its columns.
How strangely are things changed from
what they used to be-! Three years ago
Mr.. Stringfellow was the frontier oracle
of Democracy now, he is not allowed to
say word in the party paper.
Dr.. j. Fl. Sringfeliow has left Kansas,
and gone back to Virginia. where he has
located permanently. The leaders of the
Border Rufian party, like their dupes,
are gradually leaving the Territory. We
have not met pro-slayery man since the
October election, who has not been free
70 eoncede that there was no hope Of
making Kansas slave State. They
merely seek to keep alive the difficulties
here until they can get out Of the Terri
tory. We would suggest that their pop
erty would command higher pries, il.
instead Of keeping up agitation, they
would labor to allay it,

History Of a Prass.


The Osswotomie Southern Herald inci.
dentally gives graphic history of its
press, as follows. -
"How much depends On the voice Of
the Kansas press To forge the chains of
thraldom, to bind the fetters of the slave;
to crush the opening bud of civil liberty,
you must first annihilate the press. Our
own attests the fact; and here let us in
trude vestige of its history: On the
sacking of Osawatomie, the type upon
which this paper is now printed, was con-
cealed, and the press hidden in pile Of
rails; the first inquiry of the Ruffans was
for the printing press. It was. not to be
found: but that mysterious pile of rails
must be Investigated. A few short pieces
cAGIzvtod fvu the ruae OF tho Pile, TO-
yeafed to the eager gaze of the Rufians,
the mighty lever of old Ben. Franklin,
improved by Taylor, as he reposed in ali
his eclipsed majesty in a rail pile! Just
at this moment, another gang emerged
from a neighboring dwelling, several of
whom were bearing demijohns of the az
dent, as trophies of their devotion to the
cause of the South. @Here is the press"
ave have found it!" came in yells from
the investigators as they vainly attempted
to draw the attention of the other party,
who were evidently ia4irstea with some
thing. "D-n your presses p We have
something better than all your presses !"
and the obeise proportions of several dem
Johns were waved patroniziEgly at the
other party, while they made bee line
for the woods. The other party followed.
Who ever knew Rufian, who does not
love his whiskey? He loves his cause Of
slavery much, but he loves his whiskey
more So the press was saved.
"At the burning of 0sawatomie, the
press was boxed up and concealed in the
woods, where 1t remained until it was
resurecsed to print this paper. It viii
thus be seen the press is the enemy most
dreaded by the foes Of freedom in Kan
sas." -

O&aWdfou1ie,


We were favored with visit on Friday
week from our friend r. MENDENHALL,
from Osawatomie, who states that that
town is prospering beyond all precedent.
The outrages committed there a year and
a half ago, instead of destroying it, seem
to have given it new life. Emigration
has poured in at an unprecedented rate,
and public improvements have gone on
with a corresponding ratio. There have
been large number of buildings erected
during the last season, and Low there are
four dry goods stores, drug store, and
one hardware store open for business, and
there are located at this point nearly ev-
cry class of mechanics common to coun-
ty towns. The Osawatomie Southern
Herald is published regularly weekly, Civ
ing tone and character to that locality
There are about forty buildings under
contract, to be completed as soon as pos
sible after the material can be got togeth-
er. We have always entertained a favor
able opinion of this point and feel par
ticulafly gratifed at the large vote always
polled there for freedom. 1t has obtained
the sobriquet of 'the Banner Free State
town in Kansas" having polled 24o Free
State votes in October, with no opposition.
and only one less on the 4th of January,
against the Lecompton Swindle, and
about the same vote for the Anti Usurpa-
ton State and District ticket.
a daily line of coaches, from Quinda-
70, touching at intermediate points, win
commence operation in the spring. They
have already tri-weekly mail and hack
line, connecting with Lawrence and West
port. A project is on foot to establish q
daily line with Jefferson City, Mo.

Judge ALLEN, from Calhoun county,
paid US a visit few days ego. BE repre-
sents the county as fast filling up, and
says there is greater amount of timber
and water there than probably in most
other portions Of the Territory. The pop
ulation is almost exclusively Free State,
generally from the Northern States. It's
county seat, unfortunately, IS located at
Calhoun, the only pro-sIavery place in the
county. Judge Allen was elected Probate
Judge Of that county last October. He
is native of Bradford county. Pennsyl-
vania, and friend Of Judge WiImot.-
So highly did he esteem that gentleman
he and several other friends have selected
and laid out town which Is named in
honor of him, located between the north
and south forks of Elk creek, in the
northern part Of the county, and near the
great road from Nebraska to Topeka
Measures have been taken for various
public Improvements, among which are s
town hall, and the fencing Of public
square. and the planting OF it with shade
trees.
Judge A. states that there are large
number of first class prairie claims still
open for settlement in the vicinity. and
enlgrants are requested to turn their at
tention in that direction. Those coming
overland, viii find this place on the most
practicable route from St. Joseph, No., 70
Fort Riley. It Is also on the recently
chartered Territorial road from Lawrence
to Falls CITY. In Nebraska.

The Boilers viudicatsd.

On our fourth page will be found an
article from the White Cloud Chief, which
declares that Doniphan county was mis-
represented in the Convention of the 23d
ult., at Lawrence.
The Elwood Advertiser. also pub
lished in that county, makes the same
statement, as will be seen by the extract
from its columns of the 14th inst, which
we copy below:
We see and hear much dissatisfaction
at the action of the Lawrence Convention,
in not participating in the election for
State officers and it is stated that Doni-
phan county carried the day against vot-
ing-farther, that the vote of this county
was decided by the influence of THoMP-
SON, of the Geary City Era, on the
strength of supposed Instructions from the
county. $50
When we heard of the decision of the
Convention we regretted it, yet resolved
to support the action of the majority, and
not bolt. If the vote at the Convention
was decided by the Doniphan vote. then
zoe do not belieue the sentiment of the Terri
tory a0as carried out and while We con-
denim the action of the boilers, we are
free to express our conviction that the de-
cision arrived at was not agreeable to a
majority of the Free State party. We
were one of the delegates from Doniphan,
representing this precinct at the session
of December I'd, and our constituency
were in favor of going into the election.
Not that they desired the Lecompton
Constitution to live under, for their 162
votes against it prove otherwise but as a
wise precautionary measure in case of a
contingency that might arise. Had we
have known in season of the reassembling
of the convention, we should certainly
have been present and voted for going
into the election.
As to any county instructions that Mr..
Thompson could have had, we do not see
where he got them, unless from the con-
fines of Geary City.
The Aduertisr condemns" the action
of the Boilers" If the editor was con-
ident of the fact as those boilers were,
and as We now have the proof that the
most damnable frauds were resorted to by
the non-voters to bring about that deci-
sion, and that 36 votes out of the 75 cast
against voting, did injustice to the dis.
tricts represented, as she Adpatiser con-
cedes was the case with the Is votes
from Doniphan county, and as we know
was the case with the votes from Allen,
Breckenridge, Riley, and other counties,
then we trust he win take no exception
TO the voting policy which the sBolters"
fully established, and with which they
have triumphed.

zhe rerri,ori.I t.arislz.rrs.

This body is in session, and is progress
ing very well with its work. It has q
large number of local bills before it, and
the committees are engaged in preparing
general laws, some of which are now
pending in both branches of thst body.
They are determined to "go slow" but
to make thorough work in revising the
old cods. The members of the Lsgisla-
ture are practical business men. maori-
ty of whom are rather conservative in
their views. They are conscious of the
great responsibility resting upon them.-
They have bill pending before them
changing the county lines, giving new
names to the counties, and in most in
stances, We believe, temporarily or other
wise. locating the county seats. This bill
has passed the lower house, we under
stand, and is now pending in the Council.
We have not deemed it proper to lum-
Der up our paper with the details of mo-
tons, and the proceedings at length,
knowing how little of such matter is usu-
ally perused by the general reader. We
shall, therefore, content ourself with a
simple announcement of the final action
of the Legislature on bills pending before
it, and viii endeavor to copy at length
such general laws as may be adopted by
that body.
An act has been passed taking the CEN
sus in the counties of johnson, Leaven-
worth, McGee, &c, with a view of ex-
posing the gross frauds perpetrated in Oc-
tober last, as well as in December and
the 4th of January, in those counties, by
the pro-slayery party.
An act has also been passed appointing
committee to investigate those frauds
and to expose them in a report, with the
necessary powers.
