The next matter Of interest in the Territory is
the October election. The Lower House OF the
Territorial Legislature is to be elected. The Upper
House. or Council, hold over, and as that body,
elected under the unfair apportionment and the
repudaton of many of the radical men, Is rather
hunkersh and slightly corrupt, the inference is that
no very thorough steps viii meet It's concurrence
One third of that body, with Gov. Denrer, can pre-
vent any Territorial legislation and, for that part Of
the matter Denver but little for both branches
or any law they may pass that does not sllt him.
Some of the expectsnt land grant tribe believe
that early pext session Congress viii make some
railroad grants, subject to the disposal of the Terri
torial Legislature. Any location OF roads or using
Of land Grants by Legislature elected under an ap
portonment that GUS off half the Territory is an
Iiqnity that will brew popular storm here. How
ever, Congress has not granted the land yet. A

However proper il may be TO organize the Repub-
hcan party, IL would certainly be bad policy TO
make Republican race for the power in that body.
It's capacity 10 do any good is 80 limited and the
danger of cOrrupting the few who hold the balance
of power great, that serious errors aud conse
quent odium are 10 be antic pated.
For the future, then, the railroadgrant men. and
the flee seekers, and the Nationals and other De-
mocracies, are deeply interested in the October
election. The great mass Of the people are deeply
anxious for Free.State Government. Time and
again they have said so. Their prayers for Free
State Government lie unheeded on the floors OF
Congress. Wheneyer they speak, the majority viii
say again. The enemy has perplexed them.
They do not wish to engage in any wild goose
chases. Inc Federal Government has proved to
them that Sauatter Sovereignty is humbug--that
they only 10 be permitted Ia exercise their fnnc-
ton Of framing State Government by the consent
of Congress. The National Democrats have taught
them that they have nothing to expect until the
Republicans are in power, aud that the Nationals
win only LEI Kansas into the Union as Slave State.
