many OF these acts, If not premeditated by the

crnneht. The vice-regal governors have had
before them for a long succession of years spe.
cal instructions from the Queen to be exceed
ingly cantous IN the exercise Of AUTHORITY over
the subjects of England and France. Those
instruction contained irritating and offensive
references to the citizens of the United States
and enjoined particular vigilance over their
conduct and language. Under such circumstan-
ces, and in the face Of a pervadng national
prejudice against our people, the wonder is
that our large commerce and intercourse with
the island has been maintained ut all. The

They talk of the pride of their Kingdom, Of

Our pemocratic anuernnr

Samuel Medary-like his namesake in
the Pickwick papers-ever has a an eve
to the main chance. But while he NAV
equal Sam Weller in shrewdness, he is
much his inferior in common honesty.
MIR. Medary wrote the following remark.
able letter to his employers at Washing
ton after the election. for Constitutional
Delegates
LEcoNProS. K. T., June, 1859.
DEAR SIR We have had close cleo
ton here-neither party had a certain
majority. There are number claimed
as Republicans who are pledged against
the whole negro theory. But how they
may vote in organizing the Convention
Is not so certain.
We lost 8 Democrats by 8 votes only.
and 2 by | vote-close work-when IL
votes would have given us a clear major
ity in the Convention.
1t is really Democratic victory, and
the Republicans are terribly down in the
mouth. They cry fraud bat l never
saw falrer or more peaceable election
anywhere.
Very truly, S. MEDARY.
One would think. from reading the
above. that s. Medary had no regard for
the interests of anything but the Demo-
cratic party. He is not the Governor of
Kansas, but only the Governor of that
small fraction bound up in ''the negro
theory" He talks about what "we" lost
and what'"we" gained. and pronounces
the late election "reauy u Democratic
victory" when the Democrats have but
l6 members ont Of So.
We hope the time may come when our
rulers and representatives will be of the
peoples choice, and not old party hacks
or worn-out hucksters who have not a
thought above partisan success-an am
bition higher than a trucking servility,
or a conception above a mess of pottage.
We opine that Mr. Samuel Medary
will find that the Republicans of Kan
sas are not SO much "down in the mouth"
but that they can whip him and his party
in every contest, even if he goes so far as
to maintain that wolves are qualified cleo
tors. as he did in Leaven-
worth Times.

There was a warm and well contested
fight in the Convention on Saturday, on
the question of the boundaries of the
State. The proposition of annexing
Southern Nebraska was defeated by a vote
of Is ayes 10 26 nays.
"Pike's Peak" was also excluded from
the boundaries of the State. The contest
came up on the report of the Committee
and will probably be renewed on the Sec
ond reading of the Bill establishing the
boundaries. From the best information,
we feel assured that the Convention will
stand by their decision of Saturday. We
are fully convinced that this will be the
best for Kansas LearenuOrth Tunes.

fFor the Chiefly

Ma. EDIroR:-Some remarks in the last
Chief, in connection with notice Of the murder
committed near Marysville, demand some at
tention, as they are calculated to inure, unjust.
ly and falsely, the reputation Of the citizens Of
Padonia and vicinity. The statement, that
within month the trace of two villains had
been lost at Pa5onia, may not be true in the
cases believed to have been referred to. Tho
man that was in search OF the murderer from
the Blue, stated to several citizens Of Padonia,
that he was last seen at Richmond, and was not
traced with any certainty farther. In the other
instance, some children holding picnic at the
school house in Padonia, stated that they saw
the horse and buggy taken from White Cloud,
and no others saw them, although it was at a
time when many we're where they certainly
would have seen them had they passed, it is
quite probable that the children were mistaken.
There would be nothing strange in the fact of
the trace Of any one, who wished to escape OBJ
servatiOn, being lost upon the unsettled prairies
in the vicinity of all settlements in Kansas; and
as the cases referred to are the only instances
known, Of any one escaping justice, being
sought for on the roads in the vicinity of Pado-
MIA, it is certainly wrong and unjust to accuse
portion of the citizens Of secreting and eonniv-
ing with villains, upon such shallow grounds for
suspicion. The citizens of Padonia have re-
putatiOn built upon sobriety and honesty, the
encouragement of schools and churches, and
the reputation of gambling and grog-shops;
and If any of the class intimated by the Chief,
live in the vicinity. nothing has been. seen by
the citizens to indicate who they are, and the
investigation spoken of, will have to be made
by others whs have better knowledge of their
location.
