Our Senatorial Nominations.

1t may be matter of surprise to many
in the County, that William Harris, Jr.,
was not re-nomnated at the late Republi-
can Convention, inasmuch as he has held
the office of Senator, only one year.
We do not propose enquire into the
causes that led to the nomination of Mr..
Richardson, in his place, neither do we feel
called upon to say whether in our opinion,
they were sufficient or not, to Justify the
course taken by the convention. But this
we have no hesitation in saying, that the
nominations of the convention must Be s,,s-
tanned, and for this obvious reason III Is
TO be supposed that the delegates in con-
vention, fairly represented the feelings and
wishes of majority of the Republicans in
the County. If you adopt any other hy-
potEesis, you at once strike at the root OF
political conventions. Therefore, if the
majority Of the delegates thought it best
TO nominate Mr.. Richardson, they exercis-
ed sovereign-right right freely com
mltted TO them by the people; and, howev-
err opinions may differ, as TO the policy or
Ju stice OF the course taken, of one thing it
seems there should be no difference of
opinion among those who have the well-be
ing and harmony of the party in view, and
that rs, that the nominations must be sus-
tanned.
There may be no occasion for Illus call
i'g attention to this wen recognized rule,

were burnt on Tuesday morning. The
origin Of the fire is supposed TO have been
accidental. The buildings were compar-
atively valueless, but the machinery des-
troyed was very expensive, including a
lathe for turning the immense stone COL
umns for the public buildings, and several
engines. A large quantity of
tools and some costly marble, finished and
unfinished, was also destroyed not insured

The late efforts to enforce the fugitive
slave law in Ohio TO its bitter end nave
stirred the anti-slavery feeling of the peo-
ME of the state to demonstrations before
unknown. The volume OF antl-slavery
sentiment has received large increase by
the prosecutions of the government IN the
Oberlin case, and it finds expression in both
political and religious organizations, as well
as in more personal modes. A special
anti-slavery Christian convention at Column
bps, last week, was one of the results OF the
excitement, and was attended by many
clergymen and laymen. The leaders in the
Oberin rescue were prominent lions OF the
occasion. Mr. Giddings was also leading
spirit. The character and tone of the gath
ering are well expressed in its resolutions
about the fugitive slave law:
THAT said fugitive slave act does not
command that which is right, nor does
it forbid that which is wrong; it comes
within. no description of law, and possesses
no essential element Of law; it is an asser-
ton of the will of Shareholders, and not the
will Of God it is the mandate of despot-
ism, and not the statute of the law Of a
Christian people to uphold it, is to uphold
slavery in its worst and most revolving feat
ures to permit its enforcement on the soil
of Ohio constitutes surrender of the
rights and the dignity Of our state and the
liberties of our people"

The Secret.

Since writing the notice elsewhere, ac-
knowledgiug the receipt of sirty-t,Oo new
subscribers from Mr.. GALLAHEB, of Fort
Scott, we are placed under additional OBJ
legations by the receipt of seven more,
and an assurance that Everybody in that
county has about determined to subscribe
for the Herald of Freedom. Linn county,
too, is preparing to send us big list; one
writer says they have determined to give
US FOUR HUNDRED from that county.
Don't that look like breaking down? If
money was not SO scarce in Kansas we
have not doubt but our list would equal
what it was two years ago in three
months, and made up wholly of Kansas
subscribers at that. The Lawrence list
has been on the increase for several
months. The Republican gave its readers
the secret of our success last week in its
leading editorial, because Of the "perseeu-
tion" of the paper and its editor by the
hireling correspondents, and disunion
presses of Kansas.

Parties Arriving for the Mines.

Parties for the gold mines continue to
arrive, and are fitting out Cor their jour
ney over the plains. Notwithstanding
the great ado made by the river towns,
Lawrence seems destined to receive her
full share of the outftting trade. A
large party stopped at Leavenworth, a
few days ago, to make purchases, but be-
ing assured they could do better here, they
came on, and all of them have stated, re-
peatedly, that it was very fortunate they
did SO, for they found all sorts of outfit
ting goods and supplies cheaper here than
at Leavenworth, with the single excep-
ton of provisions.
With the certainty of several steamer
on the Kansas river this season, it occur'
to US that it would be as advantageous
for passengers to land at Wyandott, and
take passage to Manhattan or Junction
City, by which means they will find
themselves about one hundred and fifty
miles nearer the modern Ophir than they
can otherwise get by water. 1t is gener
ally conceded that the central route, by
way of Smoky Hill, is the best, and much
the shortest and hence, Lawrence is di
rectly on the route, and is the most natur.
al place to outfit from.

New Constitution,

The vote for. and against State Con-

everybody is expected to vote for it.
Three Constitutions have already been
made for Kansas The Topeka Consti-
tuition, by the Free State party, avery
good instrument, and one which the peo-
pie would cheerfully endorse to-day, if
made in an honest ard impartial manner
under the forms of law the Lecompton
Constitution, fraud and cheat from be-
ginning to end, and an instrument desired
by nobody; the Lsavenworth Constitu-
ton, honestly begotten, but killed at its
birth by the political mid-wives who off,
ciated on that occasion, by giving ita Ger
tain kind of soup which proved unpalata-
bic and destructive to its existence. The
Wyandott Constitution will reflect the
sentiments of all parties, as all parties
will be represented in that Convention,
aud Constitution will there be formed
worthy of Kansas and the sisterhood Of
States, of which, in few months, she
will be member. Let us hope that there
will be no political quacks either at its
birth or christening.
