Now AND THEN = The Democratic
party are at present eminently Conserve
tive. and nothing seems good to them,
unless Conservatism is mixed with it.
Governor Medary, in his Message to the
Legislature, harps upon Conservatism.
What change has come over him and
them On our first page, we publish
poem entitled Conservatism" written
by Vim. D. Gallagher, one Of the best
poets in the country. We found it in
copy of the Ohio Statesman, published
in the year lS4s. AT that time. the
Democrats called themselves the "Pro-
gressive Democracy" and anything call
ed Conservative. or suspected Of being
Conservative, was stencil in their nos
trils. The editor of the Statesman, one
Sam. Medary. conceived such love for
the poem and the sentiments it contained,
that he prefaced it with an editorial, Civ
ing his views of Conservatism. Here are
the remarks in question. Read what the
present Conservative Democratic Cover
nor of Kansas once thought of Conserva-
tism =
CHOICE PoETRY.-Although we have
differed with the writer Of the following
in politics, and many bout together we
have had with "pen and pencil" in days
gone by, yet Notwithstanding this we have
been an admirer of Mr., GalIagher's poe
try. Some of his pieces will live while
song has place in eur memories. But
the following, which we find in the Gin
cinnati Gazette, at once, not only stamps
Mr.. G. as the first of poets. but introdu-
ces him into the school of life, light and
progress. We have scarcely language to
express our admiration of both the poetry
and sentiment-one shedding light and
interest on the other. !" Conservatism "
dark, sly, hidden, stealthy conserya-
tism, the nightmare Of human advance
ment and reform, is most fitly represented
in the character of the owl, while light
and progress, reform and advancement
are nobly represented in the bird of lib
erty, the eagle that scars in sunlight
Light, life, liberty, and happiness should
be the great end and aim of the soul
stirring genius of the age. And genius
without a soul, to feel and comprehend,
is as dead.

The following is the correspondence

Meiary. The Governor in his reply paid
but little attention to Lanes pretensions
to military titles by leaving off the prefix

LAWRENCE, K. r., Jan. 8, 1859.
ITO His Excellency, S. Medary. Gov
ernor Of Kansas Territory:
/ take the liberty Of addressing you,
although we have no personal acquain
lance. The importance Of the subject
upon which l write is my excuse. -
UNANIMOUSLY elected Major General Of
the Kansas Militia by the last Territorial
Legislature, under law passed by that
body, | feel that the position thus claimed
BY me, though not recognized by the Elk
ecutive Department Of the Territorial
Government, authorizes me TO express to
you the following opinions and to make
the following propositions
A portion of the settlers of the TerriA
tory are understood to be under arms in
the South Eastern border, under the COM
mand of Capt.'s Montgomery and Brown.
l do not express any opinion as to the
causes that induced the muster.
Although l have had no correspond
ence with either Of those commandants.
nor those under their command; yet /
believe that l have influence with them,
and that they will be governed by advice
if / can see them.
1t is understood that body of U. S.
troops has been ordered in that direction
by you. 1t is fair to presume that there
is danger Of a collision-that blood may
shed. Give me your endorsement to act
as mediator, and / viii repair without a.
moments delay to these men II haye no
doubt that / can procure their disband-
ment. and bring before you without delay
before the Kansas Legislature now in
session-or before any tribunal you may
name in this county, both Of the COM
mandants before mentioned.
Thus can a collision between the people.
of Kansas and the General Government
be avoided, and the shedding Of blood
prevented.
In making this proposition l wish it
distinctly understood that will accept no
pay for my services either from the Gen.
eral or Territorial Government but am
moved only by desire to restore peace
and quiet to that portion Of our Territory.
Respectfully. ~
j. Fl. LANE,
Major General, elected by the Legisla-
tnre."

Mr.. Albert G.. Baber, son of Col. Ba.
Der, Of this city, who went out to Pixies
Peak gold mines few months since, has
written letter to a friend of his here,
stating thlt he had arrived at Auraria,
North Cherry Creek, K. T., on the 1lth
of November, after a trip of forty-two
days, in good health. With regard to
the gold, he says, II am perfectly salts
fed that there is as much gold here as
there is in California. Men are making
ten to twelve dollars per day with a rock
er. There are now about FIVE hundred
men in this vicinity, all well pleased with
their prospects. Some eight or ten have
gone back to bring their families in the
Spring." In the conclusion Of his letter,
Mr.. Baber intimstes that he has better
show where he is. than he had in Cali

Pacific RAILROAD BmL.-The Pacific
Railroad question in Congress has got
along as far as the speech-making stage.
On the 18th, the subject came up in the
Senate, on Mr.. VERSIONS motion to re-
commit the Bill with instructions to re-
port bill for two roads, Northern and
Southern one. Mr.. Green, of Missouri,
contended that one road would be suffi-
cient, and signi6ed his determination to
offer an amendment, making the Eastern
terminus at the most eligible point on the
Western border of Missouri; from whence
should diverge three branch roads. viz :
one running Eastwardly; and one rum
ming Northwardly. to Sioux City-all
connecting with the grand trunk about
longitude 102 degrees a,little north of the
Canadian river. Mr.. Brown, of Miss.
argued against the coustitutionality of,
and the necessity for the road. Mr.. Big
Ter wanted the road divided into three
sections, Eastern, Middle and Western,
and to withhold aid from the Eastern
and Western sections until the middle
was completed. Mr.. Houston spoke in.
favor of the Ell Paso route. Mr.. Doug
las was in favor of the best route, to Be
located by the contractors. On the vote
being taken on VERSIONS motion to re-
committhe bill, it was lost. by 80 against,
to Is for it. The vote is an encourag.
ing Indication in favor of the measure.

RAILROAD PRoJEcT.-We see, by the
Palermo Leader. (for we have not seen
anything of the kind elsewhere. lhat
there is a proposition before Congress.
granting lands fora Railroad from the
Missouri River, IN the direction Of Fort
Kearuey. 1t is to start at Belmont,
{ formerly Whitehead, and touch at
White Cloud, where it strikes of up the
Nsmaha Valley. We presume its start
ing at Belmont. Is in order to get it as
nearly as possible opposite St. Joseph. II
we had anything to say in the matter. we
would say, keep such a Railroad away
from White Cloud. A road starting
from the river at this place. would be the
making Of the town but 10 start near
St. Joseph, and touch here, il would kill
this place as "dead as door nail" Ev-
erybody and everything would pass on
through, to St. Joseph. By going there.
travellers could Immediately take the
hannibal Road for the East or, if they
desired to go by the river, St. Joseph
would be the place they would stop at.
If railroad had its terminus here. this
would be the place where travel would
centre. They could then take the river
for their places Of destination; or. if the
Platte County Railroad were finished. it
would no doubt run on the opposite of
the river, and travellers could take pas
sage on it. In this case, White Cloud
would become a great centre for travel,
and the place would be made But pre-.
serve us from becoming way station on
a road terminating at st. Joseph.
If Congress intends to establish law
to the effect that every Railroad from the
Missouri river west must have one termi-
nus at st. Joseph, it would be well to
have the fact made known to the public
at once, so that they might know what to
depend upon. At present, the object
seems to be,5not to extend railroad fscili-
ties to the people of Kansas, but 20 ena-
bic st. Joseph to monOpolize the trade
and travel ehe West.

A NV Tu,so.-Gov. Chase, Of Ohio.

A New fHrxo.-Goy. Chase, OF Ohio.
in his message to the Legislature of that
State, recommends the establishment of
an Inebriats- AsyInm''--s place to re-
form drunkards, we presume. We would
suggest that Ohio is possessed OF an asy-
lum for malefactors. and the Legislature
should take steps for its enlargement. for
the accommodation of all liquor dealers
and dram shop keepers who knowingly
and wilfully deal ont the ardent to per-
sons known to be unable to resist its in
Huences. Then there would be no need
of an Ine5riate Asylum"
But talking about asylums. let rs put
in few recommendations to the Legis
latures Of each of the States Of the Union:
Let there be an appropriation made for
the building of an asylum for broken
down politicians. disappointed Office-see-
kers, and defeated candidates. The one
on Salt River is not sufficiently eommo-
dious to accommodate all who are enti-
tied to its benefits, and it would be better
for each State to have one Of its own.
Let MS also have an asylum for back
sliders and expelled members from the
church.
The Spectator also should be accom-
modatcd with place where he could ay
to. and be relieved from the pangs Of
conscience that so frequently harrow his
soul.
We might make other suitable recon-
mendations to the Legislatures of the
States, but we will wait until the next
time.

1t seems hard that the people Of our

nothing to do with her. The proposed
change would not in the least unfavora-
bly, affect the interests of Doniphan eouni
ty or Of Brown, while the advantage to
the people of White Cloud would be
great; yet others say it must not be, and
we presume their commands will be
obeyed, as usual. If SO, we can but sub
nit to it /: but there must be a change in
all things, and so there will be in this
respect. Such course as has been pur-
sued towards White Cloud, can never
meet with permanent success. and the ia
bles will one day be turned. For that
day we shall patiently wait.
