We are now, for The FIRST, enjoyment what
we should have had from the beginning of the
settlement of this central country--a polltca,
and civil government The administration Of
Governor Denver has been happy for the Terri
tory and creditable one for himself; not as
the result OF talents above the common order,
but ola well balanced and di%crete mind; a
negative rather than positive Executive, uR-
deractiHg rather than ovcracting; a discretion
Of power that confaed itSelfto. guiding the YES
sci Of State, rather than furnishington the pro-
pclling power. In this lies his strength and
the success ofhis official term. lie leaves Kan
sas with more credit 10 hImsclf than any OF
his predecessors. 10 ..a. a'".'
The Executive department of this Territory
is restored to ie p ctability ard credit, the
people begin to load up to it with honor and
pride, showing that all are willing to respect

Our civil power is beginning to find its prop
er influence and place; laws are beginning to
exercise their authority and show their value.
1t is proven that, even in Kansas civil code
may be enacted and enforced, that we can have
local organizations, with officers Of the law, and
that there iS somo safety to life and property,
other than by the knife and revolver. .f .r..

Judge, with very full judicial powers. Sheriff.

OF the parare, to tie civilized customs to which
we were bred; we have tried physical force, and

without the aid Of legislatures or statutes--ap-

This voluntary government being twice al

establishment Of the common laws Of the land

Settlers in Kansas have only lately begun tc
feel that this is their home, for it is only with
in short period that civil, social and religion;
structures begin to develop themselves.
We venture to say that more has been done
for the organization Of Kansas in the last tou
months than was accomplished in the fou
years pyior to this, and why? Simply because
we have put to rest, for time, this ahhorent
political fight. You may think the remark {
strange enc, but it is true. From the momen
the passage of the English bill made clear on
policy and our duty, Kansas has had peace, fo
our course was as distinctly settled in our mind
on the day of its passage as it was on the nigh
Of the day of election. Home application is be
ginning to show itself in every direction Con

A word as 10 The future: Our friends at til
East are urging that we now take prompt &C
ton for the future; form Constitution and de
mand adm ssion in the Union, We than
them for their interest and their advice, bu
we think the policy bad one for the present
Had We not better leave the question Of assn
ming the responsibilities Of q State until th
people are ready for it? I know what ! sa
when tell you that the people are not read
for this step. Why2 First they are not pre-
pared to sustain the burdens ofthe Government
the second, they are tired ofpoliticai Conyen
4 tions, Constitutions political quacks, hacks an
monntebanks. They desire rest and opportu
nifty to improve their homes, cultivate thei
farms, and get ina state Of indcpendency. Ou
hope and prayer now are that grace will be giN
! en- TO the President to send US as good Cover
nor as the last, one that will follow his policy
and that our friends will allow US to act for ouI
solyes-plodgng to them that Kansas shall b
. when admitted State one that shall not dis
honor the free sisterhood. .,, I..y, v...i ia
l., We hepe still further, that the men will b
few and far between who will look to Kansas
make or mend their political fortunes. Fror
