"GERHASTowN IsDEIEEDkST.-
have received a copy ofa paper bearing
the above title, bailing from our old
stamping ground" Germantown, Ohio,
and conducted with much tact and abili'
ity, by j. Fred- Myers Weare pleased
tc see, by It's advertising columns, that
the business men Of the place have ava
ke=ed to an appreciation Of the true doc
trine. which viii lead them TO success
We are nos acquainted with the editor,
but perusal Of ths inside pages Of the
Independent, makes us feel as Il we were
talking face to face With IN old friend
Those pages are filed with interesting
local matters; and we would advise ev-
cry person Whe has ever lived in Ger
mantown. to send $50 to Mr.. Myers,
and get ths Independent for one year,
We believe the paper is Republican in
politics, but it has very little say upon
political matters. - - 'rT4zlL3
We have an affection for the material
upon which the Independent is printed
land thereby hangs tale" We might
write some interesting "reminiscences Of
the establishment, if we Only had time.
1t was first used in printing the e" West
ern Emporium" just eight years ago,
and in that Officer upon that material, we
finished our apprenticeship, We ran it
through the Scott campaign of 1852, and.
under the name cf Locomotive, through
the Anti Nebraska and Sam" hurricane,
1854. In 1855. "Old Pepper" (peace
be to his specs "came around with his
revolvers," and "honeyfugled" us ont Of
it, turned the paper into Democratic
sheet, and made's brilliant run Of three
whole monthsi Then he took the estab-
lishment to Miamisburg, and published a
paper semi-once-in- a. while, in 1856, as
a first-class "Buck and Breck" organ.
We had set our heart upon announcing
the fact 10 the world, when he should
pay for, the trap; but alas for human
hopes! we never had that pleasure. Like
the wind, no one knew whence he came
or whittier he went"-in fact, he was the
personi6cation Of the unadulterated wind
itself, and "blew where he listed"-that
is, he blew until he obtained list Of
subscribers, and then fzzled. he left the
Office "lying about loose" in the streets,
alleys. market house, and all around
there; and now it has been scraped to-
gether again. removed back to German
town, and sends forth right respectable
looking paper-much nicer than we had
supposed could be produced upon the
material.
Success to the Independent!

We would recommend to the City
Company liberal policy towards all
who wish to locate here permanently.
By Liberal inducements to mechanics,

LANE VERSUS DESvER.-In another
column, will be found Card from Gen.
Lane, in reply to Gov. Denver's procla.
nation, spoken of elsewhere Thu. Gov.
ernor, instead of stopping where he
should, and resting satisfied with having
proclaimed himself General in Chief Of
the Kansas Militia, goes on to say that
peace now reigrs in the Territory, and
that Lane is attempting to keep up a dis
turbance. Lane comes down upon him
"Ike thousand Of brick" and "talks
to him like a Dutch uncle" He says
some pretty hard things of the Governor,
and some of them (perhaps all are no
doubt true. A difficulty is reported to
have arisen out of this affair, but the. re-
suit of it we have not heard. If Denver
is Comm ander of the Kansas Militia, he
should protect the Free State settlers
about Fort Scott, from the outrages of
the Ruffian Federal Office holders. If he
neglects to do this, he win not gain much
credit in Kansas, by stigmatizing those
Free State men as law breakers and dis
turbers of the peace, who go to the assis-
lance of their friends. l-l sua -.--

CoxeREss AND KASsAs.-Congress is
slowly approaching towards focus on
the Kansas question. 1t is now squarely
before the Senate, and Seward has made
his great speech against Leeompton. It
will soon be before the House in tangi-
bic form, and perhaps viii be put through
with q rush. We believe Lecompton
viii go through the House. without any
difficulty. and by a decided majority,
whatever We may have been heretofore
led to believe to the contrary. We had
thought. for q while. that the thing would
not go down. but we have again returned
to the belief expressed Immediately after
the October election-which was. that
the Convention would frame Pro-Sla-
very Constitution, and Congress would
accept it. There are members Of Con-
gress, that can be bought up at any price.
They hold ont for q while, for effect, but
viii be for Lecompton at the voting
Enough of this kind viii be found to
carry it through without any difficulty.
And if those who are thus bought had
not been in Congress, there would have
been others to do the same thing. As long
as there was Democratic majority Of
even single member. there was no dan
ger of the defeat of Lecompton. This
is the way we view it now. and we believe
the result will bear ms out in il.
