St. George.

Mr.. BARTLETT, of st. George, Potowa-
tomie county, Z. t., has placed in our
hands map of their town, which we OBJ
serve is situated on the north side of the
Kansas river, forty-fiye miles above To-
peka, and eight miles below Manhattan,
in the confluence of Black Jack creek
with the Kansas The town was located
in April last, by a company of capitalists,
and already embraces many of the ele-
ments of a new town. A steam sawmill,
corn mill, blacksmith shop, and cabi-
net maker are on the ground, and g good
store is in operation, and three more are
building. They have also a very COM
Portable hotel. A postofice has been
opened at that place, and is on the mail
route from Fort Leavenworth to Fort
Riley. Mr.. B. gives US assurances that
st. George is destined to be a place
of some importance in that portion of
the Territory. 1t has some advantages
over other localities in that region, and
with the characteristic energy Of the pro-
prietors, most of whom we are personally
acquainted with, we feel confident that
they will make of it respectable inland
town. Please observe the advertisement

An Important Plan.

A feasible plan has been presented and
is now pending in the form of a Bill be-
fore the Council, for bridging the creeks
and ravines of one of the most important
and generally travelled thoroughfares in
the Territory. By the construction of a
few short bridges, Kansas will have the
finest roads in the Union; but our people
are not able Immediately to defray the
expenses necessary to such an undertak-
ing. A company of gentlemen of this
Territory, in connection with heavy iron
manufacturer and bridge builder of Gin
cinnati, propose to bridge all the streams
and ravines between Westport and Fort
Riley-following the course of the old
California road by Franklin, Lawrence,
Tecumseh, Topeka and Waukarusa, on
condition that they may collect slight
tolls at each bridge for the period of five
years. The counties to have the privi-
lege of rendering any bridge free by pay
ing the company the cost of the same
and twenty per cent. addition. Most of
the. bridges viii be of wrought iron. Some
SUCH general plan should be adopted, as
teams could then draw much heavier
loads than at present, over the road men

News Of the Week.

The Legislature is still engaged in per-
fecting the Convention bill. The House
has passed model liquor law, with but
four dissenting votes, and which, it is be-
heyed, viii pass the Council almost unan-
imously. The committees have in charge
the general laws, which they viii submit
TO their respective Houses in few days.
We publish elsewhere the laws which
have been enacted of general nature,
and shall continue them from week to
week. The City Charter for Lawrence
has not yet been submitted to the Cover
nor for his signature. 4 bill has been re-
ported in each House, making provision
for re-organizing the counties, and chang
ing the county lines. A resolution is
pending to lay the whole matter over for
the session, owing to the imperfect repre-
sentation from the southern portion of the
Territory. There is an unprecedented
amount of local business pending in the
two Houses, and still aceumulating, pro-
viding for charters for towns and town
companies, ferries, bridge companies,
banks, &c.

Returned from Washington.

Our friend w. F. N. Army, ESQ.,, has
just returned from Washington City,
where he has been spending the last three
months, looking after the general interests
of Kansas, and about mail routes in par
ticular. In connection with our worthy
Delegate in Congress, he has succeeded in
getting some three columns of mail routes
advertised fol. Kansas, intersecting nearly
every portion of the Territory. He has
left copy of those routes with US, which
will be open to- the inspection of any per-
SON desiring to examine the same. He
proffers his assistance to any person wish
ing advice or instruction in regard to put
ting in bids, or otherwise, by communicat-
ing with him at Hyatt, Z. T.
Mr.. A. states that he left Washington
on the 10th inst, and made the trip in
the short period of eight days. He had
an interview with Senator DoUaLAs Just
before leaving, and also with MIR. PAR
RoTT and Others, in regard to Kansas mat
tiers. From the nature of that converse
ton, Mr.. Il. is apprehensive that there is
q strong probability of our being admitted
into the Union under the Lecompton
swindle. He has hopes, however, that
by immediate action, in the shape of
new Constitutional Convention, eminating
from our Territorial Legislature, the move
ment may be headed off at Washington.
Mr.. ARMY has contributed the articles
over his own signature, and that of Mil
TON and FREDERICK, published in the r.
of F., during the last two months, from
Washington, by which our readers have
been kept so well advised in regard to
Kansas matters Our readers will miss
his services at Washington, but we know
he viii be welcomed to Kansas, where his
labors have been so invaluable in favor of
the right in the past.

slazsrr Not Prosae,sd.

The bill to abolish slavery in Kansas, to
take effect on the first of March, which
passed the lower house of the Territorial
Legislature, has been so amended in the
Council as to repeal all laws which are in
force in the Territory, allowing, sanction
ing, or protecting slavery. The latter
provision is the true one. The other
method acknowledged the legal existence
Of slavery in the Territory. The latter
only erases all laws from the statute books
at the very outset, and makes it ques-
ton for the Courts, where it would finally
find its way. The Constitution which
will be framed by the people will come
along in due time, cutting up every root
and branch of that institution in Kansas.
The wise viii heed the signs of the times,
and be hastily out of the Territory with
their darkies.

The Fort Wayne Times, thorough

Indiana, thus endorses the @Bolters" in
Kansas
This determination was wise one, and

ture who were pledged, could through
that Legislature proceed immediately to

changing that Constitution for the whole

ticket nominated and voted for by the
Free State men, or, rather, by the anti

the ANTI -UsuRPATIoN TICKET.
We are glad that the people of Kansas
have abandoned that infamous etiquette
which 50 kept up the trouble there. Their

A False Position.

Some of the Democratic journals east,
taking their cue, we suppose, from the
correspondent Of the Philadelphia BuHe-
TIN, puts the editor of the Herald of Free
dom down with those who were opposed
to voting. and associates us with Thatcher
and Blood. We have been assured that
in localities of Kansas where the Herald
Of Freedom is not read, we are represented
as opposed to the voting policy, but We
did not suppose that any correspondent
of a respectable news journal, would place
Us in such an awkward position.

rERHs.--.s.ee PER AsSUn. IN ADVANCE
Divide the Honors.

We earnestly protest against the Szoths,
and their journals, and correspondents,
giving Us exclusive credit for the action of
the Boilers in the late election, and
their triumph at the polls. While we are
frank to admit that we acted an honor
able part in that affair, yet the services of
Gov. W. Y. Roberts, Doct. Davis, Gen.
Pomeroy, S. n. Wood, DR.. Hall, Mr..
Austin of the Centropolis Leader, j. z.
Goodin, Esq; Judge Mckay, of Wyan-
dott; Rev. Mr.. Backus, of Leavenworth;
Joseph Gardner, Mr.. Morrow, Mr. Low
man, D. Fl. Weir, z. Heath, ESQ.,, Judge
Schuyler, THOMAS EWING, Jr., who Ia
bored 50 hard and contributed of his
money so freely, and the 1000 other per-
sons of the Territory, scattered all over it,
are entitled to that honor, and they should
share in il.
We kzaea0 that the people everywhere,
who were not under the ifuence of cer-
tain persons and journals. would sustain
that policy; hence, though it seemed
like risking everything, yet we engaged
in it, strengthened and sustained by the
friends of that policy. 1t required nerve
t, step aside from the action of Conven-
ton and inaugurate different line of pol
icy; but it was done, and every man who
was concerned in getting up the nomina-
ton, or who sustained it when made, is 3
hero. and worthy of being mentioned ia
vorably in the movement.
Every denunciatory article which has
been written against US for our connection
with that affair, we consider COM
pliment, and the more violent the denun-
citation, the better it is for us. So "pitch
in" gentlemen but we would beg a
share of those compliments for our CO.
laborers in the same direction.

Calhoun,sLs Aet.

We have reliable information from
Leayenworth, that Calhoun has received
the fraudulent returns from Delaware
Crossing, and declared the Pro-slsvery
State ticket elected, while in the Legisla-
ture, according to his calculation, the Pro-
slavery men have majority of one IN
the Senate, with a tie in the House. We
confess that we were surprised to hear
this. We supposed that after it had been
clearly shown that frauds of the most pal
pable nature had been practised along the
border, that he would not dare to take
the position he has. But Calhoun saw
that this was his last hope for making
Kansas a slave State, and was unwilling
to let this opportunity pass without
struggle. Calhoun is not alone in this
work. The whole South is at his back.
The South are unwilling that Kansas
should send into the next United States
Senate two honest Free State men, who
would, on all occasions, record their votes
in opposition to the extension of slavery,
and in favor of free institutions; and
they, the South, with John Calhoun as
their tool, have concocted plan by which
they might prevent it. See how nicely
they have it fixed. It is SO arranged that
the Legislature on joint ballot, viii be pro-
slavery by one vote, thus securing their
Senators.
But since Calhoun made his final deci-
sion, report says that one of the Pro-
slavery members of the Senate, from
Leavenworth county, has been murdered,
leaving, as it now stands, a tie in both
Houses, with vacancy to fill from a
strong Free State county.
We have been supposing the case to be
in the position which John Calhoun
would have it. But the power of the
PEOPLE is superior to that of this would
be dictator, and they are going to let him,
as well as his backers at Washington and
the South, know it. The people went
into the late election with the intention of
triumphing, and they did triumph; and
if all the John CalbounsI jack Readersons
and James Buchanans that ever existed or
ever will exist, should declare to the con-
trary, it makes not particle of difference.
The liberties of the people of Kansas have
been trifed with long enough. They
will no longer submit to it.
The attempt to force down our throsts
the Lecompton Swindle, in opposition to
the known wishes of large majority of
the people, we thought bad enough. But
it seems they are not satisfied with this.
They are now trying to force upon that
outraged people set of officers who are
just as objectionable to them as the
instrument under which they would as
sumo to act. To these villains We say,
beware The indignation of an outraged
community is excited to a dangerous
pitch, and should these attempts to rob
the. people of their liberties be persisted
in, they may expect to receive at the
hands of that people, the punishment
which they justly merit.
Again, we say, bware!

Mo. Record.

1t is reported by one of the letter-wri-
tiers, that the Territorial Legislature, when
in session at Lecompton, on receipt of the
Presidents Message, after the reading of
it, adopted the following resolution -
Resolved, That James Buchanan, Pres
ident of the United States. be entitled to
the name of Muggins, and that copy Of
this resolution be sent to him. The res
olution passed among deafening cheers.
notwithstanding the resolution adopted
at the evening session short time since,
on motion Of Mr.. Elliott, we have no
idea that 8 grave legislative body ever
passed such ; resolution as the above
Indeed, we would not have believed the
other was passed by them had we not

L,,.s, Election News.

We lesrn from reliable authority that
Gen Calhoun has declared the vote of the
4th of January In favor of the pro- slave
~ ticket for State officers. The Senate
stands one majority pro-slavery, and in the
House tie. The entire pro-slavery del
egation from this county have been de-
clared elected-Delaware crossing giving
395 mai. for that ticket.
a messenger was despatched yesterday
for Washington with this important news.
LeaUentonth Journal.
1t seems impossible that Calhoun can
be SO base as the above paragraph would
represent him to be. The heavy fraudu-
lent returns from Delaware Crossing were
proved to be forgeries. The rejection of
those. returns alone would give the Anti
Usurpation ticket-State and Legisla-
tive-a handsome majority. But there
were about a thousand votes returned
after the day of the counting, some four
or five hundred of which were found
returned with the votes against the Con-
stitution to Gov. Denver. These votes
Calhoun pledged his honor as gentleman
he would count, as there was no specified
time fixed when he was to count them, or
declare the result. 1t was upon the n.y.
pothesis that he would redeem this pledge,
made Judge SMITH, MI. ROBERTS, Gov.
DENVER, &c, that we proclaimed the re-
suit as we did. Though the Journal
seems confident that it is posted, yet we
are not disposed to abandon all hope of
Mr.. c. redeeming that pledge. He can
not expect to make Kansas Slave State,
and any false action on his part viii only
prolong and complicate our difficulties,
and lead to violence of which the past
will bear no comparison.
Even if the result is, as the Journal
announces, we see a way of terminating
the affair favorably, without the shedding
of blood, and, in due time, will commune
