Seine of the Post Masters are Of the right

instance q prominent Republican in the
Territory subscribed for the Chief, and
we sent it By the usual mail route. but he
failed to receive it. We then sent it
through Missouri, so that it would arrive
at its place of destination in the Eastern
mail. and appear to be a paper from the

KANSAS AND MISEEsoTA. - Kansas
Land Sales are now on hand. while the
Land sales that were to come OF in Min
nesota. are postponed for another year
This has been done at the request Of one
Of her Senators. in order to aid the fallen
fortunes Of the Democracy in the October
election in that State. Now. why did our
Governor Medary not interpose his influ-
ence with Mr.. Buchanan. and get the land
sales in Kansas deferred until better times?
Our people were never as poor for money
as they are at the present time. These
sales in Kansas are very oppressive upon
the people, who have to pay for their
homes or lose their land. The Admins
trstion has no mercy to show the Kansas
people. because thev refused to accept the
Lecompton Constitution. preferring to
ratify one of their own on the 4th Of Dc
tobsr next. We think the people should
remember the Lecompton bride. and the
fact that the Administration is indefensi-
bic for forcing the public lands of Kansas
at this time, into market. in order to ben
eft the Spectator. at the expense and ruin
of hundreds of our own people. The
consequence of these sales will be, that
the monied men will hold large tracts of
land. and keep them in an unproductive
state for years to come. thereby retard our
march as a State. But we were q self
willed, refractory people. and we are for
so being. thus punished by the President
and the Democratic party.-LeavenaOOrEh

CooL.-It is surprising what an amount
Of cool impudence some folks can show
of. The following. from the Atchison
Union. is a fair specimen. 1t will be
appreciated. when it is known that the
editor of the Union was Fremont shrie-
ker in New York. but suddenly wheeled
about, and is endeavoring to make amends
by singing the praises Of the most notori-
Gus ruffians in the Territory
FRED STANToN.-We learn that Fred
Stanton, who, for some months past. has
been cutting up all sorts of tricks and an
tics on couple of ponies. for the amuse-
ment of the crowd, has finally gone over
to the Republicans. bag and baggage. The
Democracy can well spare such as are
able to change their political companions
so easy. and to nestle so unblushingly in
a strange bed.

! A CURIosITY.-We were shown. last
week. cornstalk. grown upon the farm
of Mr.. Ulsh. near this place. which was
quite curiosity in its way. Some two
feet from the root. it forked like the
boughs of tree. and presented two dis
tinct and separate branches. upon each Of
which was a perfect ear of corn. These
ears were precisely of the same size. and
exactly the same height from the fork. SO
that. when the two branches were pressed
together, the places where the ears grew
fast to the stalks came together side BY
side. 1t would appear that the stalk had
been split in two after the germ or silk
was formed. an equal portion of which
remained with each portion of the stalk;
that they grew into two well-formed
stalks. and each portion Of the flower
produced an ear of corn.
