KANSAS BLEEDS NO MORE!

Our Black Republican friends despair of ma
king any more capital out Of Kansas and finding
that notwithstanding all their outcry against
President Buchanan, bis policy has given pea ce
to the long distracted Territory, are beginning
TO "let themselves down" as easily as possible.
In one ofth@i resolutions adopted al their meet
ing in this place on Tuesday night of Court
week, they virtually declare the Kansas ques-
ton 10 be settled. They say:
"Resolved, That this defeat OF The party in
"pow' and their consequent inability 10 con-
"tTo majority in the next House OF Represen-
'Iatives, have put sunni ary and .fectual Qui-
"etus upon all the nrfarious schemes for forcing
''the institution of Slavery not upon Kansas
''only, but upon all our free territories
Hereafter, if the Black Republicans repeat
their hyPocritic, whining about "schemes for
lorclng' the institution Of slavery upon free
territories, we will take pleasure in reminding
them that they have solemnly declared that a
''summa-y and elFrctual quietus" has been put
upon all such ''schemes," and that, therefore,
according to their own showing, there can be
no danger OF any further extension of slavery.
"Rssolvea That we tender our heartfelt congra,-
ulations to sister counties of the District upon
the election of Edward Mcpherson TO Congress- p
Resolutions adopted at the Black Republican meet
tng on Tuesday night Of Coa1 Vrek
The ''sister counties" are congratulated, but
where, meanwhile, are the congratulations for
sister Bedford Ay, there's the rub The
Black Republicans didn't carry Bedford county
as they boasted they would, and when they see
that even the strongest Democratic counties
were carried BY their co-workers in other parts
OF the State, they are ashamed to say anything
abou, Bedford. They forgot another matter in
their congratulation of which we would re-
mind them, viz to slender" their "heai.fel,"

trnce IN importing voters into the District

the West side Of the Upper Mississippi is only
open to presumption, there is little opportunity
for spectators, and settlers have assurance Of
neighbors and that rapid increase in the value
of their lands and in social advantages which
arise from the system Of land in limited guam
titles to actual settlers. ~ #
The country around St. Cloud, west of the
Mississippi was purchased of the Indians in a
treaty made with them by Hon. Alexander
Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified by
the senate the same year. The Sioux had
owned the land from 1927 but had not occupied
it, and it was used as hunting ground by the
Winnebagoes whose land reached within four
miles north of St. Cloud. Their country was
coded to the United States by q treaty began
with Commissioner Manypeny and concluded
at Washington in Feb. 1866 and ratified by the
Senate March Sd of the same year. In May
following they removed to their reservation on
the Blue Earth river and only since that time
has Stearns county claimed kindred with civili-
cation. The first house within the corporated
limits Of st. Cloud was built by James Hitch
ems, forG eneral Lowry. James Kitchens being
the fret white man who slept in house here
is entitled to the distinction Of being the cold
est inhabitant.' The site of Lower St. Cloud
was taken up as o claim by Martin Woolly, a
Norwe yian, who sold his right to George F..
Brott who surveyed and plated it in the spring
of 3d. About the, same time John L. Wilson
surveyed and plated what is now called middle
town, which adjoins and lies higher up the riv-
er, whine General Lowry surveyed and plated

l will not attempt to give synopsis of it.
He decides that the evidence is not sufficient
to satisfy him that the negro is fugitive
from labor, in the State of Mississippi, as is
charged in the affidavit of Stovall, and that
the only course he can pursue is to issue an
order to the United States Marshal to set him
free.
The effect of this decision (whether ac-
cordance to law or not l will not pretend to
decide) will be to make the darkies ten times
more impertinent than they have been, and
it will require something more stringent than
the Anti-Negro Bill to keep them in order,
I think good policy would suggest that a
tax be laid on them sufficiently heavy to in
duce removal to negro-loving Massachusetts
where negro is considered better than a
white man. OMlKRON.

Later From Salt Lake.

BY a private letter we have advices from
Salt Lake to March l4lh, eleven days later
than by the mail. At that time everything
was quiet in Salt Lake City. The troops still
occupied Fort Bridger and the Mormons
were busily engaged putting in their crops,
with the prospect of a very favorable season.
The Saints had been advised by their Elders to
sow no more land than they could convent
emily reap at short notice, and more persons
had given their attention to farming taking
up portions of the land owned by farmers
than ever before. The Mormons declare
themselves ready for any emergency, and feel
satisfied of their capacity to prevent the en-
trance of the forces under Col. Johnston
They depend greatly on the measures taker
to render the various passes impregnable
and feel confident in being able to gather
crops and cache their resources before a de-
tour could be made by way of the South
Pass, or before Col. Johnston could be rein.
forced by troops enough to place his entrance
into Great Salt Lake City beyond doubt
The intelligence brought by the previous
mail carrier, to the effect that large body
of disatfected Mormons had been permitted
to leave Deseret, and were on their way to
California, is contradcted., The Mormons
are represented as being greatly in want of
many of the comforts and even necessaries OF
life, and clothing is extremely scarce. Pow
der, arms of all descriptions, and other mum
tions of war are in great demand.
