We hope that whatever else the Legisla
Iature may fail to do they viii not neglect
to provide for taking census. This will
be necessary to the success of constitution
al convention movement, and is the only
means By which Southern Kansas viii ever
get fair representation. Il viii be neoes-
sary for Kansas not only to haze popula-
ton sufficient to entile her to representa-
tive in Congress before she can be admitted
into the Union, but we will also be obliged
o produce the evidence of such population.
We are decidedly opposed TO frittering away
cur strength any more in fruitless eonstitu-
tional convention movements that are to be
productive of no manner of good. We can
easily comply with the requirements Of the
English Bill. and get into the Union, while
the application of the same restriction q
other Territories will be an etfectual bar to
tie admission of any more slave States
Let US take he slave oligsrchy at their prop
ositiop, and the result viii be ..no more

world during The coming year. With the
early spring this class of immigrants will
commence landing upon our shores. and
nearly all of them will seek for homes in
the West. We also learn of much prepa-
ration in the ATLANTIC States-particularly
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey-fer mo-

Preparing for Spring Trade.

We notice that the Westport. Wyandott.
and Kansas City merchants are preparing
largely for the spring trade. There will be
large stocks of goods. much competition
and consequent reasonable prices. The
merchants of these places deserve well of
the people of Central aud Southern Kansas,
and we doubt not viii receive the largest
portion of their patronage. We would re-

A bill was introduced in the Lower House
of the Territorial Legislature early in the
session, by Mr.. r. B. Mitchell, of Linn
county. providing for the publication of such
of the laws passed at the present session of
the Legislature, as the Secretary of the Ter
ritorv, the Speaker of the House and Presi-
dent of the Council should deem of public
interest. in at least one paper in each county
of the Territory where a paper was publish
ed-the expense to be betrayed from the
Territorial treasury. The bill viii undoubt-
edly become law; and in that event the
entire people of The Territory, without fur
ther expense. viii be enabled to know what
the laws are that they are called upon to
support and obey. at an eaily day after the
adjournment of the session. Something of
this kind should have passed last winter,
which would have obviated the inconveni-
ence arising from the delay in printing the
Statutes, which were not issued until some
time in September. Besides, it is not eve
ry man who can afford TO pay four or FIVE
dollars for a copy of the Statutes. Tn this
way they cost the people absolutely nothing.
It is customary in most of the States to
publish all the laws in some paper in every
county of the State, and the wisdom and
economy of such measure has received the
sanction of successive administrations for
the last quarter of century.
