The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-23
Endorsed at Home.

However much the Republican presses
may dsnounce Hon. ELI THAYER, there
is qualification in knowing that his con-
stituents endorse his position to the full
est extent. At the late Convention Of
the Worcester District, in nominating q
candidate for Congress, the following res
olutions were adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That this Convention nomi.
nate the Hon. Eli Thayer, of Worcester,
as our candidate for Representative of the
Ninth District in the next Congress Of
the United States, confding in him as a
man of character and courage, who will
be firm, fearless and devoted, in season
and out of season, to the great question
of the present century, and who will be
ready and willing, at all times, to advo.
cate and vindicate the well known anti.
slavery principles of the people of this
district.
RESOLVED, That the labors of Eli Thsyer,
in the cause of free Kansas have made
his name renowned throughout the civil
lied world and that the head for which
a reward has been offered by the slave
drivers, peculiarly deserves to be crowned
with honor by the friends Of liberty.
A representative in Congress thus en-
dorsed at home has nothing to fear even
from the Infamous assaults of such venal
presses as the New York Tribune has
proved itself to be.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-23
Leaveuworth.

Last week we had occasion to sojourn
in Leavenworth few days. the first call
we have made there since our residence
in the Territory, save when passing
through the place on our way to or from
the East. We are frank to admit that
we were disappointed with the growth
and prosperity of this infant city. Four
years ago it was a dreary waste, covered
over with thick undergrowth Of brush
wood, and occasionally forest tree. Now
it is the home Of civilization, and the
abode of not less than ten thousand in
habitants. No written description can
convey to the minds eye the appearance
of this young giant city, which, like Jo-
nahs gourd, has seemingly sprung into
being in day, but whose structures are
too substantial to pass away thus sudden
ly. The traces of the late FIRE, which
swept away SO much wealth in few
hours, are hardly visible. Indeed, were
it not for the charred sidewalks, we doubt
whether a stranger would observe, with
out his attention were specially called to
it, any indications of the terrible conAa-
grafton which SO recently converted into
ashes the places of business of many Of
the most substantial men of that city, but
which did not paralyze their energy.
As we neglected to take notes of our
trip, We must defer any extended remarks
at this time. As We intend to visit the
city again soon, and call upon most of the
business houses, we shall expect to gain
an amount of information relating to the
prosperity, present and prospective, of the
city, which will show its real character in
| distant portions of the Territory, and par
ticularly in the southern counties where
we have so heavy circulation.
