Correspondence Of the Guardian.
TOPEKA, KANSAS, May 25th 1859.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, May 18th 1859. {,
FRIEND RIcH I'll intended to have
written to you every week or two, about
what was going on in this part of Kansas.
but, unfortunately for me, have been
confined TO my bed almost ever since
came TO Kansas with my old chronic di-
sease, and am now only able to sit up
part of the time, and / concluded
would write you few lines and you
could do what you liked with them.
Times are very hard here. Money is
worth from 4 to e per cent per month.
The news from Pixies Peak is very con-
flicting thousands are going on and
hundreds are turning back, without
knowing, / think. anything certain. as
yet, ofthe final issue ofthe thing. A great
many will make Kansas their home, and
let Pixies Peak go, which probably is
the wiser plan. Certainly no country
offers more inducements to the perma :
nent settler. faf ss#i ol0'i llt1Gs1
We had quite an excitement here night
before last, which was caused by the ar
rival of Horace GREELEY, who was sal
uted on his arrival by the roar of the old
Topeka cannon, which seemed to arouse,
in the feelings of the citizens, times of
yore. He delivered lecture at the
Museum Hall, to a crowded house
{ which hall is larger than any in Inde-
pendence). s ~"
The Democrats have worked hard to
distract the Republican party in Kansas,
by getting up what they call Free State
party, but they have already fzzled out,
and now the cry is to get up two parties.
called the rabid and conservative, but
nothing they can do will prevent Kansas
from going Republican, in toto. ii.l
We have boats running to our town
regularly. and such class of boats have
been built that are suitable to the navi-
cation Of our river, which settles beyond
doubt the practibility of navigating
the Kansas river they run up IS miles
above this place. This fact will give an
impetus to our town that nothing can re-
tard. Besides, we are making almost
certain calculations on having the capital
of the State located here. idT
l get your paper regularly every week,
which l am always glad 10 receive. Ny
respects TO the citizens of Independence.
and my best wishes for their present and
future prosperity and happiness. and es-
pecially to that order called G. II.

Dubuque and Pacific Railroad.

H We learn from the Express and
Herald that regular meeting Of the
stockholders of the Dubuque and Pacific
Railroad Company. was held at the Office
Of the company, in Dubuque, on Mon
day last, for the purpose Of electing a new
board of directors. AS given by the
Herald, the directory is as follows Ed
gar Thompson, J. Garfield, Jno. Lord
J.P. Farley, G. H. Booth, s. Hampstead
and John Hodgdon. The officers had
not, up TO the time of the Herald's re-
port, been elected. There have been a
great many rumors relative to the pros
poets of work on the road being resum.
ed. but none that can be relied upon. We
hear il now stated that Eastern stockhold-
ers, before the election, offered to guar
anlee the construction of the road To this
point. during the present year, providing
they were allowed proper representa-
ton IN the new board. We believe the
three first names above mentioned are
those Of eastern men, but whether they
were elected agreeable to any such ar
'angement or expectation, We have no
means Of knowing. We hope. before
ong. to be able 10 chronicle something
lefnite and reliable about the roads
prospects.

EE Friend HEDGES has a very cour.
teous response, in his last paper. to our
remarks upon previous article of his
relative to Higher Law. We interpreted
his first article as defence, to some ex-
tent, of the odious system of human
slavery. as existing at the South-or,
rather. as qualified endorsement of it
inasmuch as we conceived that he there
in deprecated the idea of emancipation,
asserting that slaves should be taught
obedience, patience, faithfulness, DC, in
their present relation. This was our un-
derstanding of his article. and we know
that this impression was not peculiar to
ourself We stated our belief that this
view did injustice to the editors real feel
ings, however plainly his words shadow
ed the sentiment. and we are happy to
find that we did not give him too much
credit. He says he does esteem emanci-
patton desirable object that holding
negroes in bondage is wrong; and that
he is anxious and willing to 10 all he
can to restore them to freedom. Believ-
ing this to be his real feeling. we have
no desire to attempt to show that his for
mer article would bear different con-
struction. Upon such a position we can
have no controversy with him., t'f
But We do certainly think that the ed
itor throws his influence in the wrong
direction to make it effective for the end
which he Processes to desire. 1t is not
necessary that he should march under
banner ON which is inscribed the con-
stitution league with devils, and COM
pact with hell. and be cheered with de-
moniac shouts Of civil war, and by the
glare Of burning cities and dwellings,"
to effect this object. We opine that a
little sober examination will convince him
that this, like the idea expressed in his
former article. relative to the supremacy
of the negro, is mental illusion--a mere
chimera--having no tangible shape any
where else than in his own brain. Mo-
such contamination is sought by any
one. All that is asked Of him is to throw
what influence he possesses in favor OF
the weak and the oppressed, and not
against them--to help bind such disable
tiles upon slavery as the old fathers OF
the republic saw fit to place upon it. and
not to extend to it perfect freedom and H.
cense--granting it new concessions when
it demands them, or, worse still, Offering
it privileges that it has. itself. too much
to claim. !, @a..8., /
The editor talks much about tho con-
ditioh Of the free blacks in the northern
states, and as previous condition Of ac
;ording freedom TO the slave, would have
he negroes now among us elevated and
improved, He can see no consistency, |.
eason, honesty. or charity, ia abolition
forts until this is done. Very well,
oppose we grant him correct in this. j

Mr.. EDIToR /:

Mr. EDIron Ia I. {.
Happening to be in your town on
Saturday, the 4th inst, i called at the
Court House to witness the proceedings
of the Democratic county convention.
While there, | could not help admiring
the beautiful harmony of the Democrat
ic party. Each and every motion was
passed withouta dissenting voice. Truly,
thought |, if union is strength, the De-
mocracy of Buchanan county must be
strong. No chickering's or jealousies
were manifest. The most perfect union
and harmony seemed to prevail
True, two, who appeared to be magmates
OF the Democratic party Of this county,
sat apart by the window, whiting, from
whom ! expected some outburst of dis
satisfaction, but / was doomed to disap-
pointment. ata.stY .4ast a3s
All was peace! Harmony prevailed
in all that was done. 1T was a mass con-
vention. One would naturally expect
some discordant elements to be thrown
into such a place. But, alas we Re-
publicans, who went up to see the fight,
had our labor for our pains. One cir.
cumstance, however, might have had
some effect in producing this result--the
exceeding laryeness Of the attendance.
There were twenty-five persons present,
five of whom were known to be Republi-
cans. ZYPREZ. q
