THOMAS EWING, Jr., of Kansas, on
Saturday evening, at Lancaster, o., replied
in speech two hours and half long, to
speeches made at the same place, Thurs
day afternoon, by Senator PUaH and c.
D. MARTIN, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in that District. PUGH and MARTIN
were especially happy in rejoicing over the
Kansas question. EwING had "the facts" +"
and his reply to their assertions was q
success, complete and conspicuous.
The above paragraph We clip from the
Cincinnati Commercial of the 9th inst
How does it look to the radical journals Of
Kansas, which were in the habit Of charg-
ing Mr.. EwING, and those who acted with
him, with being Administration menu
Last winter, when he was spending his
money like water to advance the Free
State cause, they were SO base as to repre-
sent that he was pro-slaUery man. The
fact that Mr.. EwINe had devoted the sum-
mer of 1856 to aid in securing the election
of JOHN C. FREMONT to the Presidency
could not save him from these political
.vultures who prey upon the characters Of
honest men. Unless a change comes over
those journals, and they cease their abuse
of the true men of Kansas who have sac
ri6ced time, money and health to advances
the cause of freedom, the time will come
when they will stand alone, having read
everybody out of the party but them
selves.

A Republican rr...d.u, in 1850.

The South, ever jealous of its rights
and interests, is beginning to look forward
to the possibility of the electian Of a Re-
publican President, and to estimate the
probable result upon the nation and upon
themselves. The Richmond Wing spec
ulases as follows
besides, we are not of those who
deprecate the election even of regular
Black Republican in the year 1860, and
for the reason that such an event must
happen, and we prefer its happening now,
when the South is ADLER to Withstand en-
croachmsnts upon her rights than she will
be five, ten or twenty years hence. The
North already has the power, and will
have much greater power every year. She
is bound to elect President of her own,
sooner or later. That being SO, we would
prefer her electing him now, as we are
anxious to see developed the policy Of a
Northern sectional President toward the
South. In a word, the North and the
South have wrangled long enough. We
want the issue brought on. We want to
meet it now. And we can only do this
by allowing the Northern sectionalists to
take possession of the government, and
see what they mean to do as regards the
South. They are necessarily bound to
obtain control of the government, any
way, within few years. Let them have
it now, and if aggression ensues, let the
South meet it with united hearts and arms
and in the spirit Of freemen, who know
their rights, and mean to maintain them
\ ct whatever hazard"

Geological Survey.

We learn from the Junction Sentinel,
that on the 10th inst, Mr.. WEEK and Mr..
HAYDEN, employed by the Government
as GeOlogists and Naturalists, passed that
place en- route for the Saline and Cotton
wood rivers. They intend to thoroughly
examine the face of the country, and
make an elaborate collection of new and
interesting geological and mineralogical
specimens. The result of their labors
will doubtless be valuable and interesting,
for we do not believe there is in our coun-
try wider or richer field for such research
than is presented in this part of Kansas.
The Cottonwood is one of the finest
streams in Kansas, flowing on over grav-
ely bed the whole year round, even in
the dryest seasons; while the Neosho,
above its confluence with the Cottonwood,
is frequently lost in the rich alluvial soil
through which it flows. The Cottonwood
is the Neosho proper; but the Santa Fe
travellers at an early day, when they came
to the stream which they had to cross at
Council Grove, supposed that to be the
real Neosho, and, as such, they named it.
As they passed on they came to body Of
cottonwood timber, through which flowed
a noble stream, and to this they gave the
name of Cottonwood; and though errone-
Gus, map makers have adopted the names
thus given those streams, and the matter
is now settled for all time.

Cor. walkers Position.

The Philadelphia Press defines RObt
j. Walkers position relative to the pres.
ent aspect of Kansas affairs, by authority:
ave are authorized to say for Hon
RobertJ ]. Walker, that he is in favor Of
the admission Of Kansas as State of ths
American Union at the next session, (if
the preliminary arrangements can be
made or schenever the people present thar
Constitution to Congress; and also, because
as the English bill proposed to admit Kan.
sas as Slave State with a population Of
50, 900, Governor Walker is in favor Of
the admission of Kansas as Free State
irrespective of the arbitrary and despotic
discrimination of that bill against such a
State. In other words, as the Democratic
party has been for years pledged to admit
Kansas outside Of the ratio, now to insist
upon this ratio as against her people,
would be in the last degree infamous"

OffurnWa.

We are pleased to learn that our friends
at Ottumwa have succeeded in pre- e-empt-
ing their town site, and are now prepared
to make deeds to shareholders of the lots
to which they are entitled. They have
complied with all the requirements Of the
law, agreeably to the late instructions and
decisions of the General Land Office. We
learn that business is prosperous at Ottum-
wa; that buildings are still going up, and
the country is settling up very rapidly
Mr.. Cox informs us that the sickly season
has mostly passed; that there has been
but very little sickness in the region Of
Ottumwa, owing TO its elevated position.
They have an abundance of water on the
town site, but twenty-four feet below the
surface. 0ttumwa is one Of the best and
most active towns on the Neosho, and as
such We recommend it to our friends
travelling in that direction.

Leavsuwor,h County Nominations.


The Free State party of Leavenworth
county, held their nominating convention
at Wyandott on the 18th inst. The result
was as follows
For Representatives in the next Terri
torial Legislature-Leavenwort
Scott, A. N. Clark, J. L. Mcdowell, C. F.
Kob; Quindaro-John w. Wright; Wy
andOtt-W. Y. Roberts; Delaware, Kieka-
poo and Little Stranger-James Madill;
EdSton and AlerandIa-Otis NJ. Marsh.
G. E. Buddington, of Quindaro, was nom
mated for County School Superintendent.
Of the Representatives: Mr.. ROBERTS
and Judge WRIGHT are good men, and
we know nothing against Mr.. MARSH;
but the whole Leavenwerth nomination
ais one that should not have been made"
Lyman Scott was the late Republican can
didate of Leavenworth for Mayor, and
was defeated by large majority of the
citizens of that town. DR.. Kob is identi-
fed, we believe, with the same partisan
movement, as Clark and Mcdowell are
understood to be. As in this county, the
Leavenworth delegates in the Convention
undertook, and very successfully, to foist
Republican candidates and Republican
issues upon the Free State party of that
county. The result will, undoubtedly,
witness q division of the Free State party,
with two sets of candidates, and the defeat
Of the regular nominees. We hope 50,
at least, so far as the Leavenworth nomi-
nations are concerned, provided genuine
anti-slavery men are elected in their
places, though We should very much re-
gret to see Mr.. Roberts or Judge Wright
defeated.
The main feature in the Leavenworth
county platform is hostility to Democracy
and the Drsd Scott decision.
Already several independent candidates
have taken the field, and Others will come
forward to fill the entire ticket.

Our Population.

In 1874, when HENRY CLAY. and JAMES
K. POLK were candidates for the Presi-
dency, there was full vote of the peo-
pie. The excitement attending that cleo
ton brought out everybody entitled to a
vote. In Rhode Island it was found that
there was but one vote to fourteen inhabit-
ants. In Virginia, with small property
qualification, there was but one vote to
thirteen inhabitants. In Massachusetts
there was but one vote to eight inhabitants
In Ohio and New York there was one vote
to siz inhabitants, and this was the small
est proportion of inhabitants to a vote in
any of the Northern or Middle States.
We showed almost conclusively in our
last issue, that Kansas has voting popu-
lation of 10000, and that our population
is made up of families to nearly as great
an extent as in the States. Yet admitting
it to be even smaller, and but one vote to
five inhabitants, then we have an actual
population of 100000.
None were allowed to vote at the late
election who had not been residents in
Kansas for six months, and, different from
past elections, those who had declared
their intentions to become citizens of the
United States" but who had not obtained
their final papers, were not allowed to
vote. These two causes prevented several
thousands from voting who would have
been electors under other circumstances.
And then the thousands who were kept
from the polls by the food and by sick
ness.
The vote of the Republican House, ad-
mitting Kansas into the Union under the
Topeka Constitution, two years ago, when
We did not claim a population of more
than forty thousand, and that of the Demo-
cratic Senate, last winter, admitting us
under the Lecompton Constitution, when
Itcy SCldlulCu 6udb VIC HAL q pOpuld-
ton of only forty thousand, and the final
vote Of both Houses admitted US into the
Union under the English bill with the
same population, if we would only sig
nifty our desire to that effect, would seem
to est0p either party in Congress from
raising the question of want of population
against US whenever We desire to enter
the Union; and yet we are all anxious to
know our exact population for home pur-
poses, and feeling sure it exceeds the
number fixed in the English bill, we are
willing to take the census, as it will pre-
vent caveling when we presen. our petit
ton for admission as State to Congress.
Such, We think, will be the action Of the
Territorial Legislature next winter, though
it is possible some of the members may
feel little nluleih in consequence Of diff
fersnt advice from some unwise members
of Congress, and their action may be diff
fersnt though we hope not.

Not Spiked

A leading Republican remarked to US,
Immediately after the reading of the Re
publican platform in the nominating Con-
vention, last Monday, "You have NO
paper at your Office" We replied that
We had not sheet. "Then," said he,
"the Herald Of Freedom is spiked, and you
can't help yourself" Thank God, our
paper, providentially, arrived just in time.
The Herald Of Freedom is not spiked, as
Republican disorganizers shall learn to
their sorrow ere the ides of October. If
the Herald Of Freedom is spiked, it is with
chain and cartridge, and it will scatter
death and destruction upon the covert
enemies of Free State from this forth.
