Democracy VS.. the Settlers.
The Settlers to be drireR from their Ionds
-Lndions pat ADORE White Mea.-A
gross outrage.

We received. yesterday, by telegraph,
the following important despatch. rela-
tive to the settlers now living on what are
known as the Kaw lands
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16, 1859.
About five hundred intelligent squatters
are on the land belonging to the Kaw In
dians, in Kansas. The subject of pre-
venting inrrusions Of this character, which
extensively prevails. occupies the attention
of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
who contemplates the adoption of such
measures as will at least lessen, if not al
together remove, abuses so dangerous to
Indians, and from which the United States
are bound to protect them under existing
treaties.
From this. it will be seen that the De-
mocracy are intent on driving the settlers
from their homes and fresides. The In
dian Reservations are known to be i'm
mense swindles. A few worthless red
skins are permitted to hold millions Of
the finest acres of Kansas.
The honest settlers, however, who go
upon these lands to work and cultivate
them-to make happy homesteads, and
add to the prosperity. of the State-sll
such are to be prosecuted by Democratic
Administration.
Such an outrage on squatters' rights
should not go unrebuked.

The White Cloud Chief thinks st.
Joseph wants to monopolize the benefits
Of all the railroads in this section, and
that we are opposed to the river location
of the Platte Country Railroad north Of
this place. We can assure the Chief that
in this matter Of location. we expect the
enterprise and liberality of the people on
the line Of the work to control it. We
Of st. Joseph would most certainly like
to see the railroads Of the North West so
controlled as to benefit us; but unless we
pay, we have no sort of right to any mo-
nopoly. The Chief is interested In the
river location, and with good sense, Of
which its editor is by no means devoid,
recommends the people of White Cloud
to wake up and lend it practical aid. If
they heed the advice Of the CHIEF, there is
no doubt Of 3 favorable result.-&. 10.

The FIRST GUN AT an election in
Wyandotte County, last week, for Probate
Judge, B. Gray, Republican, was elected
over P. Sidney Post, Democrat, by Is
majority. In June, the County gave about
100 Democratic majority. The Wyan-
dotte Constitution was made the issue,
and the rejection of the WyandOtte Del
egates was made great hobby. The
Democrats were confident of success; but
the result shows how men can sometimes
be mistaken, and it is but a slight fore
taste of the result all over the Territory,
in October and November. The Demo-
cratic papers have been Boosting that Wy
andotte County has 900 voters, of whom
only about 100 would vote for the Con-
stitution !

BRowN CoUNTY.-A correspondent fur
nishes us with the names of the nominees
for County offices in Brown. We pre-
sumo they are all very good men; but in
looking over the list, we cannot wonder
that great dissatisfaction prevails. OF
the eight nominees, six Of them reside at
Hiawatha. We do not know where the
remaining two hail from--for aught we
know, they may also be residents of Hia-
watha. Probably the disaffected ones
imagined there was a small portion Of
Brown County lying outside of Hiawa-
tina. Why the ticket is termed Free
State, instead of Republican, as the peo-
pie of Brown County claim to be, we
are unable to say-perhaps they mean to
ignore the Republican issue, and go it on
their own hook. The people of Brown
had better settle their differences, if pos
sible. without running two tickets, or
they will start up an everlasting war and
division, which will eventually do the
County infinite harm, and which her
people will curse for years to come.

Attempted Robbery in Nemaha.
There's in Richmond.-AHempt to Steal
Valuable IrunE.-IHe Robbers Dis
covered and fred at.

SENECA, Nemaha Co., Aug. 81.
For several days past, certain suspicious
parties have manifested signs Of their in
tention to rob a store in Richmond. kept
by widow Woodward and Squire Stears.
The two latter were known to have ST.
500 in a trunk, and this was the coveted
booty.
To give the thieves-if such they were
an opportunity of committing them
selves without endangering the loss of the
property, Squire Stears and Sheriff Rog-
ers announced that they were going to
start for Blue Spring on the morning of
the Goth inst.-the Spring being about
forty miles. distant.
Agreeably to this announcement, the
two started of, but returned in the night,
and laid in ambush near the store.
While lying here, two men were seen
at the store door, which they succeeded in
opening. They then went in, and soon
came out with the trunk containing the
$1,000.
AS they started of, Squire Stears let
them have two barrels. They dropped
the trunk and made good their escape,
whether wounded or not, l am unable to
say.
The Squire and Sheriff inform me that
the thieves were the sons of some respec-
table farmers in this neighborhood, and a
vigilant watch is being kept over their
houses. 1t is surmised that the thieves
have a regular organization heresbouts,
and you need not be surprised to hear that
Judge Lynch has been holding court in
Nemaha.
If anything more of interest transpires,
you will hear from me again.

'H The editor of the Cottonwood
Falls Press, who was refused seat in the
Convention, and for a while withheld his
support from the Constitution, has now
come out in favor of it. He can't see
anything killing in it; and besides, he is
willing to vote for almost any kind of a
Constitution, in order to have Kansas adj
mitted, and get her from under the thumb
of the Administration. OF course, by
this move. he has brought down the an
athemas of the Slavers upon his head,
and they have concluded that he won't do
to bet on. Woods head is right, this
time.

PRoGREsslYG.-Judge Petit receives q
salary from the General Government, for
his services in Kansas-services which he
refuses to perform. The people of Brown
County are suffering for want of Cont;
and Judge Petit, when asked to come up
and hold one. coolly told them that If
they would make an appropriation to pay
his expenses. he would accommodate
them We understand that this County
had to make such an appropriation. This,
we presume, includes whiskey expenses
for himself and smokers.
Adopt the Constitution, AID have a

left to the caprice anil mcanness of inso-
lent hirelings Of the President. We will
have officers elected by the people, and
responsible to the people. If Pettit's
conlnct becomes known to the President,
it will insure him first-class foreign mis-
sion.
