Paola Is q Fro. s,,,. Tom

We see it stated that Paola is owned by
Pro-slavery men. We have the positive
assurance of one of the proprietors of the
town, who zoe knoa1 to be a Free State man,
that every proprietor of Paola, without a
single exception, is Free State man, the
original Pro-slavery proprietors having all
been bought out, and their interest in the
town relinquished. Paola, like Leayen-
worth, Lecompton, Tecumseh, Atchison,
DOniphan, &C., was originally Pro-slav-
cry town, but the Free State pressure has
been too great upon it, and it has changed
its political relations in this respect
There is no use of trying to crush out
towns for what they were few years ago,
for destiny is busy at work giving a diff
fcrent character from the past to them, as
well as to individuals.

LIZ GRAND B. CUsHMAN gave his second
entertainment for this season, at the Bap-
fist Hall, inthis city, on Saturday even
ing, the 18th inst.N Like all his concerts,
he invariably brought down the house,
when he introduced his mirth- provoking
selections which he introduces at inter-
ludes, between his more sober pieces
Without any hesitation, we pronounce
Mr. CUsHNAN one Of the most remark
able actors we have ever met with. His
changes of voice, gesture, &c, are instan-
taueous. In his New England medly,
The transits from grave to gay, from seri-
Gus to ludicrous, are participated in to the
fullest extent by those who listen to him,
as is evidenced by the thunders of ap-
pause which always follows its recital
bis presentations of Widow Bedott are 8
little Overdone, as the Widow herself il
hther an eccentric character, and little
Establishment is needed to do her full
Justice.
Nr. CusHHAN must necessarily alwsyl
have full house wherever he travels
This was his third annual visit to Law
renee. and yet his audience was larger OF
his than any former occasion. He pur
poses visiting the South during the win.

won, STAND on tha, Plstform.

The platform adopted at the Free State,
alias Republican Convention, held on the
Goth inst, is continuous drive at the
Democratic party, and nothing else. We
should suppose the author of that plat
form had but one idea, and that hatred
Of Democracy. The platform of the Free
State party was POSITIVE in its character;
but that of the Republican party, as or
ganized last Monday, is bundle of neg
Gtires-mere opposition to the Democ-
rscy.
We hope early measures will be taken
tore.organize the Free State party in this
county, on the Big Springs platform-a
platform where Free State Wings, Demo
Gratis, Freesoilers, and Native and Natu-
rslIzed citizens can labor together to
secure freedom to great State, not to
oppose and quarrel with party organized
in the States, or to furnish political capi-
tll for another party. Whilst we could
endorse the sentiment enunciated in sew
eral, and probably all, of the resolutions
adopted at that Convention, save its en-
dorsement of Republican organization,
in Kansas, prior to our admission into the
Union as a State, yet we pronounce them,
under the circumstances, as unwise in the
extreme, uncalled for, and calculated in
their tendency to wreck the cause for
which we have SO long struggled. The
whole design of the movement was to
give "aid and comfort" to the Republican
party in the States. Its effect will be the
opposite, else we mistake the signs of the
times.
We hall follow no such leaders as those
which controlled that convention, though
we stand alone, and fight, from this out,
on our own hook"

E Mrs. Z. A. MONROE delivered her
second lecture, agreeably to announce
ment, at the Baptist Hall, in this city, on
Friday evening, the 18th inst. There
were some very excellent points in the
lecture, which elected general approba-
ton, and was delivered with much force.
She left here on Saturday for Lecompton.
We believe it is her intention, in conse-
quence of the stringency of the times, to
give free lectures hereafter, while in the

We could not give our Kansas readers,

welcome intelligence than that contained
in the following aispatch:-
WAsH1SGToN; Sept. Is.
The President has ordered the further
postponement of the Kansas land sales
until July next. The reason for this is
stated to be the financial pressure in the
country and the consequent inability OF
the settlers to prove and pay for their pre-
emptions by the time fixed by the procla-
nation ordering the sales in November.
The lands comprise three million acres.

Railroad Accident,

The bridge over the Plato river, on the
Hannibal and StJ Joseph railroad, gave way
on the 18th inst, as the cars were passing
over it, by which the locomotive was pre-
cipitated into the river. Two laborers
were drowned, and several others were
seriously injured.
The bridge had been set on fire by an
incendiary, and the lower portion of it
was weakened, occasioning the accident.
