The recent wholesale system Of bribery aud cor.
ruption practiced in Wisconsin in relation to the
lands granted to that State for railroad purposes.
has recalled attention to the case of the Yazoo
lands, which for a series of years formed topic
of public interest and discussion. The Stats
of Georgia, though by the first census one of the
smallest States in point of population, came into
the Union with vast territorial possessions includ
ing all the territory now embraced in the two Sta.es
of Alabama and Mississippi. This territory, how.
ever as well all that part of the present State of
Georgia west of the Altsmaha, was then and long
after in possession Of Indians-Creeks, Cherokaes

The Er,xing Post may rest assured that We have
no shadow of objection to a Republican Convention
of three or even four Delegates from each Assem-
bly, District of our State. In fact, we should pre-
fer three Delegates from each District, which
would still be less than half so many as are to be
chosen in Illinois. Nor have we the least idea of
requiring that these shall have been members re-
spectively of this and Of that party at some bygone
period Let st. Lawrence and Herkimer send all
Democrats, while Washington and Chaaauque
send only Wings of other days, if they will; let
Erie and Albany send some who have been Amerl-
cans, or not send: them, as may be preferred. We
emily desire so large ratio that the different ee-
ments which are blended in the Republican move
ment may be sevsrally represented where such
representation is deemed desirable, leaving them
to be ignored where that course is preferred. But
above all we want Convention 80 large that it
cannot be welded or manipulated. Other things
may be desirable, but this seems Indispensable.

Iowa, not to be out of the fashion, has been
having Legislative Investigation Of alleged cor
ruption in Office. Five Commissioners were ap
pointed, according to law, to locate the State Cap
itol in the new city of Des MONIES, and performed
that duty. It seems that strife arose between the
owners of lands on opposite sides of the river Des
Moines, each bidding against the other for the To-
cation of the Capitol. The east side won, though
the city proper located on the other side, and the
Committee strongly imply that tho Capitol should
have been placed there, had the interests of the
State been considered rather than the presumed
private interest of the Commissioners. The testi-
mony taken squints strongly at an arrangement y
between the Commissioners aud the favored lot

Our readers are Of course aware that We Pnnt
everything which reaches calculated to shed light
on the new troubles in Kansas, without regard to
its partisan aspect. We believe the bulletins OF
the CLAY Pate and other Border Rufiian letter-wr-
tiers through The St. Louis Republican and kindred
channels to be essentially and often wickedy false;
but we do not feel justified in withholding them, so
long as they show at least the anmus and aims OF
the roSlayery faction still infesting South Eastern
Kansas. But the Sham Demo cratic journals which
publish these bulletins alone, never allowing any
statement favorable TO the Free State men to find
place in their columns, can hardly f, TO derive
some partisan advantage from this suppression, so
long as it is not generally understood. Plain men,
who have been kept in profound igno-
rance of the Pro-Slavery murders aud other
outrages by which the peace of Kansas was broken
two months SINCE after months Of quiet, are led to
believe the Free State men aggressors, when the
contrary is the fact. We do not defend the acts OF
Montgomery and bis band; but it is simply just to
consider that they were stung to madness by the
wanton midnight spoliaton and murder OF their
friends and neghbOrs, for which there is no legal
redress Wnere Dlake Lllllt is plalSuoi ohu SoeV
Judge. Besides, it is morally certain that rob-
berries and Outrsges have been committed BY Pro-
Slavery bsndtti of the BufOrd and BrOckett stamp,
and forthwith blazoned to the public as acts OF
Montgomerys men. Montgomery has been widely
tumpeted az a captain under the Free State militia
organization, when in fact he was deprived OF
that trust % the 18th of February last. He is no
Northern fanatic" but an emigrant from Mis-
souri,, where he was a clergyman. For whatever
wrong he has committed, let him be justly dealt
2ith; but no act of his can excuse the recent cold
blooded murders of unarme1 Free-State men in
Linn County. Aud Gov. Stewart of Missouri, in
stead of making these recent troubles pretext for
pouring his Missouri militia into Kansas, should
begin by arresting the murderers who have fled
from Kansas into his State to avoid the punishment
of their crimes Let him observe the require
ments of good neighborhood, and he has nothing to
fear from the Free-State men of Kansas, except
that some miscreants of whom Missouri was well
rid either have been or will be driven back across
her border But he may deal with these as he
seen fit, and Kansas will not complain.

THE ERIE RAILROAD IN LoSD0N.-We pub.
lish elsewhere report of meeting of the stock
and bondholders of the Erie Railroad in Lon
don, England, at which Mr.. Moran, the Presi-
scheme he had gone to Europe to propose The
meeting seems to have taken most favorable
view of Mr.. Moraus proposal; after hearing
him out, they passed resolutions from which it
would seem that there was a fair prospect Of
the loan being taken up within ten days.
Money is 80 cheap in England that, notwith-
standing the losses which were experienced last
year through injudicous investments, il is gene
rally believed that the English are just as eager
as ever for American low priced securities. A
railroad bond at anything like seventy or
eighty per cent, and therefore paying ten or
eleven per cent per annum, they cannot re-
fuse. The Erie will therefore probably obtain
their loan.

REVEALS or RELIGIos.-We hear Of a great
attempt in some of the churches to get up a re.
vival of religion among the wicked of this great
metropolis. This is good movement. We
really want something of the kind, and we hope
that the clergy and the pious people will give
us some true religion and little honesty along
with II Many Of the Wall street brokers who
are members of the church can afford to spare
a little time from the revival of stocks to help
along the revival Of religion.
