Marshal of Kanzas.

The President has. appointed Mr.. Win
ston, of Virginia. Marshal of KanBas, vice
Dennis, removed. The nomination was
confirmed, in the ordinary course, but upon
the discovery that Mr.. Dennis was removed,
merely because he had given testimony in
respect to some of the Border Rufian frauds,
Judge Douglas moved a reconsideration Of
the confirmation. The reconsideration was
lost, however, by vote of 81 to 90, so that
Mr.. Winston gets the Office, and Mr. Den
mis- loses it, '.asiz ,ia--s4 - 81 t-
Mr.. Dennis is Democrat, and his sole

Utah.

Two Commissioners are going out to
Brigham Young to assure him that the Gov
ernment takes no exceptions to polygamy
will not presume to regulate the ''institu-
tons of Utah, and merely desire that the
Federal officers appointed by the President
should be permitted to perform their func-
tions and giving assurance that any force ot
troops stationed there will merely be to
protect emigrants. We suppose that Brig
ham can't refuse to accede to such terms as
those. If not, we certainly think it would
be, as matters go, a very small matter to
fight about.
g. Gen. Johnson is to be reinforced with
5000 men. We suppose when the Com
missioners get through with their work and
patch up treaty with ''brOther Brigham, !"
that the troops will be concentrated here to
overawe US, and help Buchanan and Cal
houn to :''enunciate'' Squatter Sovereignty.

Social Reformers,


I8aH inchoate commanitiss tlisre exist
inharmouious and yicioas elemens, which
flourish to a considerable degres duriae
the period of excihmszt and labor incidsnt
Ito the settlement of ! new country. But
when the forests are cleared and the fields
planted, and the settler has leisure to i'm
prove his mental, moral and intellectual fac
ulties. and look after the well being of the
community at large, these elements gradu-
ally give way before the meFe healthy SEN
timent of the community, and seek newer
fields for their operations. $50 E
Kaazas is not an exception to this rule,
and it would be strange if. during all the
strife which has taken place here during the
last few years, and the wild political excite
znent which has rocked the country to the
retarding of industrial enterprises, and the
detriment of good morals and good society.
there had not gathered here a. few at least of
the vicious and debased that generally infest
new communities. One year of peace and
quiet has enabled wholesome moral senti-
ment to obtain sway. and the result is, that
the more turbulent and reckless characters
have sought more congenial fields of opera
tons, or reformed altogether and become
peaceable and good citizens.
Amongst other classes that have focked
to Kanzas during the political excitement
attendant upon its settlement, was class of
would be social reformers, who, finding the
East too hot for their disgusting sensuality
and sickly sentimentalism, thought to find
protection and encouragement from the
Cling for the maintenance of their civil
rights. To them ''liberty is license and
they associated the two together in the Kan
zas struggle, and claimed the victory won
for the great principles of pure liberty as
one for species of individual sovereign
ty,''- that knows no law or regulation but
that of depraved and sensual Appetite
The most common name assumed by this
particular class of ''reformers'' is that of
"Free Lovers This "Free Love- doc
trine, which is based upon the ':passional
attraction of an individual of one sex for
one of the other sex, is but another name
for the worst form of RIGHTEOUSNESS and
it is not to be wondered at that, in commu-
mites where they are attempting to inculcate
their monstrous doctrines, the citizens are
taking means to get rid of them. Licen
tiousness is bad enough without seeking to
garb it in the habiliments of philosophy
Such scheme is too Infamous to be argued
against, and too low for denunciation.-
Prostitution fourishes too well when held
up in all its naked deformity, without being
made respectable. ..rt.
The principal actors in this .fsocial re-
form" have been rather unceremoniously
seized and dragged before the civil authori-
ties in some places. and doubtless consider
themselves severely prosecuted, and that
their sacred rights of individual sovereign
ty" have been greatly outraged. Yet such
is the fate of all Reformers, and we suppose
our Kanzas reformers will have to submit
with meekness to the same fate. The un-
lucky interruption of their enjoyments may
be set down as another illustration of the
saying, that "the course of true love never
did run smooth"

Eecompton Again.

1t appears that the struggle on the Cal
houn Constitution is not over in Congress.
A committee of conference has been asked
by the Senate, and by the detection of four
of the -Lecompton Democrats of the
North in the House, Messrs English, Pen
dleton, Hall and Jones, it was conceded
Mr.. Speaker Orr had promised to give the
anti-Lecompton men majority on the COM
mittee, and that Montgomery should be on
it. Instead of doing so, he has placed on it
Alex. Stephens, leader of the oligarchs, En-
glish, whose treacherous detection exposed
US to our present peril, and Mr. Hoard, of
n. Y. The latter gentleman is a good
enough man, but not very powerful one.
1t now appears that it is the determination
of the Administration to put through the
Senate bill without any material modifca-
tions. This it expects to do by its patron
age. All we have to say is, very well, gen.
tlemen; you may disgrace the national
councils by putting it through Congress,
, but you cannot put that swindIe through
Kanzas. Should the General Government
sanction such indignity. after all the light
that has recently been shed upon their coun-
els, we may well conclude that virtue has
departed from our rulers and our Govern
ment. and that the shield of the Constitu-
ton no longer defends the civil rights of
the people, i4 -f
The people of Kanzas had just appointed
The second Sabbath in May as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer for the defeat of the
Leeompton Constitution, when this new act
of treachery makes us once more look to-
wards Washington as a point of menace and
peril. Whatever may occur, we hope the
men of Kanzas viii never sacrifice their
self-respect. nor consent to a precedent ia
tai to our civil liberties and the perpetuity
of the Government. If this swindle tri-
umphs, farewell to American liberty.

The New state Goyernment.

The latest news from Washington is that
the House had agreed, by vote of 100 to
lO8, to appoint a Committee of Conference
to patch up compromise in regard to the
Lecompton Constitution. Lecompton is
"not dead yet" The people of Kanzas did,
indeed. sfburn their powder prematurely''
over the defeat of Lecompton. The vote on
the COMMITTEE of Conference. may be
regarded as test vote, and Lecompton has
a majority sf one! .is.f ..
The emergency contemplated in the move
nent which resulted in the formation of the
Leavenworth Constitution, will probably
soon be upon us. This emergency will not
be one which viii require the shedding of
any blood, or be the cause of any difficulty
whatever The course which prudence and
patriotism dictate is very plain and simple
one. The admission of Kanzas into tie
Union is a simple contract, the parties to
which are the people of the State and the
Federal Government When Kanzas is ad-
mitted into the Union as State, she will be
independent in all things, except where linn
tied by the Constitution of the United States.
The people of the State will then have full
power to make Constitution of their own,
without reference to the Federal Government
or the Lecompton Constitution. Without
their sanction the Lecomptoh Government
viii forever remain null and void. We shall
ho IS fHa of 81 IL
and all outside interference. Let the people
give TO the Leavenworth Constitution their
emphatic Endorsement on the 18th of May
next, and instruct their Representatives
whom they will elect as to what they desire
them to do. Let them elect men of sufi-
cient stamina to carry out their wishes
men who cannot be frightened from the path
of duty by croakers-men who will not
sacrifice great principle for mere paltry
erpediency. If the. people of Kanzas yield
at the last hour. falsify their past history by
submitting for one hoar to the Lecompton
Government, they will deserve to receive
the seora and contempt of the whole world.
The effect OF such course win far outlast
all pecupiary results which might possibly
flow from it. 1t viii last for all time.
Such blow at Republican Institutions
has never before been struck on this conti-
nens- The President and the Southern oil
garchy rely for the success of their scheme
on sn. appeal to the peeuniary interests of
the people of Kanzas. Let as show 10
them and to the world that we are true to
Che great principles Of liberty, and viii not

struggle of the past three years-that we

Lecompton Battle.

There was another battle over Lecomp=
ton in the House yesterday. The contest
was close, four Northern Democrats prov
ing traitors, and the test vote was IN favor
of the Administration. This however,
was reconsidered, and the motion. was ia
bled,, thus leaving us in doubt, at last as to
the precise position of parties. ssiaea
The Senate, though distinctly notified,
according to the. parliamentary formula, that
a. conference would not be granted, asked
the House to stultify itself by appointing a
committee for that purpose. s5Ecs g. q
/ Mr.. Montgomery moved that the House
insist, and demandthe previous question:
This demand was lost by tie vote, the
Speaker voting, under the rules, which pro-.
vide for his doing so whenever his vote
will affect the result. English then moved
that Committee of Conference be appoint
ed, and demanded the previous question:
The vote on sustaining this demand was
carried, yeas 109,5 nays 1O8. The whole
vote therefore was 217, being fifteen less
than tie original vote. Sixteen. members
were paired as follows: Anti-becompton.-
Olin, Mckibbin, Roberts, Adrain, Thayer,
G. B. Cockrane, Kunkel, { Penn. and Wash

Wyandott City and her Merchants.
We were agreeably surprised, a few days
since, on a visit to Wyandott City, to OBJ
serve the rapid strides which she was max
ing in Improvements, population and wealth.
One year ago where is now city of five
hundred houses and over fifteen hundred in
habitants, were only about dozen houses,
| all of an inferior character. The site of
Wyandott is beautiful one, commanding a
fine view of the Missouri river for miles in
either direction. Much has been said in
regard to the character of the landing at
Wyandott; but these stories are circulated
by persons interested in neighboripg cities.
No inconvenience has ever been experienced
by steamboats, in landing during any stage
of water at Wyandott, and never will be-
The landing is equal to any on the river
During the last year the City company have
expended over thirty thousand dollars in
grading the princical streets. and avenues
Several thousand dollars have also been ex-
pended in making, grading and bridging a
road leading from the city to the south west,
to intersect the road leading to and from the
Usage and Neosho country. -
The citizens of Wyandott appreciate fully
the commercial Importance and the location
of their city, and are determined to do all
in their power to make it what nature de-
signed it to be-the commercial emporium
of Kanzas. Many of the merchants are
Eastern men-men who understand their
business and they mostly keep on hand
very full assortments of their various kinds
of goods for the supply of the trade Among
the most prominent, and the best and fairest
dealers, are the following firms, whose ad-
