Opening of the Kaw Lands.

We learn that at last a treaty has been
effected between our Government and the
Kaw Indians for portion of their lands,
which, as soon. as ratified by Congress, will
be offered for sale. The whole reserve COM
prises an area of twenty miles square. The
amount they still retain, is nine by fourteen
miles. running east and west from the west
ern line of the old reserve, the northern
boundary being one mile south of Council
Grove. 1t will be seen by this that their
new limits takes in portion of the Neosho,
and with it considerable settlement, which
has been made two or more years. and of
course they will be 10th to quit.
The lands, we are told, are to be bid for
by sealed bids-the sum, of course. not to
fall short of the appraisement. The ar
rangement, we think. will not suit any of
the settlers very well. especially as the In
dams are not considered entitled to thatiand
in the first place. We are told that the set
tiers on the part now reserved have been
ordered to quit. We doubt whether they
will be got, off easy, if at all. s.s.s

More Room for Settlers!

Just as our paper is going to press we
learn, on good authority, that treaty has
been conc luded with the Sac and Fox In
dams, by Mr.. Greenwood, Special Conn
missioner of the TT. s. Government, by
which the Indian title is extinguished to a
tract of land 90 miles in length by 6 in
width on the west end of the Sac and Fox
Reserve. This opens up fine and very
valuable tract of land lying in Breckenridge
and Usage counties, which has heretofore
been excluded from the benefits of ciyiliza-
ton. This is good news for Waterloo, and
good news for Usage county. The draw
back is, that the lands. instead of being
thrown open for presumption, are to be sold
as Trust Lands. for the benefit of the In
dams, and by sealed proposals

A New Canvass.

The canvass on the Constitution closed
with the polls, on Tuesday night last. The
people of Kansas have settled the question
in regard to their form of Government in
the oaiy authoritative manner, at the ballot
box 80
But there Is another question, scarcely
less important, to be decided on the eighth
day of NoVember-only one month distant
On that day the people of Kansas are to
choose Delegate TO Congress- under the
Territorial Government, and members of
TIE Territorial Legislature. The struggle
will be between Republicanism aud Democ-
racy-the principles AID men of the two
great political organizations of the country.
The issue of this contest will affect, in no
small degree, the election of a President in
1860. The decision of the people of Kan
sas at the November election will be either.
for or against the building of a. Central
Railroad to the Pacific and the develop
ment of the resources of the great West,
for freedom or for slavery in the Terrific
RES. for corruption and extravaganza or for
honesty and economy in the administration
of the government.
These questions affect the people of Kan
sas, directly and indirectly, to very great
extent, connectad with their future prosper
ity. They affect the dignity, peace and
harmony of the Republic.
To the settlement of these questions, so
intimately connected with the material, NOR
al, social and political interests of the peo-
pie and the Government, should be brought
the exertion of reason and patriotism-not
bigotry, prejudice or partizanship,
The canvass which, will take place be-
tween this and the 9th of November, will
be one of the warmest ever known in Kan
sas This is inevitable from the magnitude
of the results depending upon the manner
of its termination.
We desire at this time simply to cali the
attention of the people to these facts. The
principles involved, and the position of par
ties in regard to them, we, shall take occa-
sion to discuss in detail hereafter. Ese

PRAIRIE FREs.-Black Hawk said, after they
bad taken him through the East and shown him
all the great cities and works of art, and asked
him what he thought of them, that "they were
very fine, but that they were not half SO grand
as prairie on fire." Tuesday was the first
day in this season of the "sere and yellow leaf"
that our sky became dialed with the approach Of
these annual visitors-the terror Of the settler.
Before night the sun sank in sea of crimson, and
the moon appeared with her face painted like .
war-satage for battle, grew darker. and finally
disappeared in an. ambush of impeRetrable smoke.

parted year, and we retired with visions Of the
