Mr.. EDITOR AS a working man OF
Lawrence, and one who has been deprived
of an inalienable right, ask to be per-
mitted to occupy few lines in your val
liable columns. On Monday last, agreea-
Bile to proclamation of the Mayor of this
city, an election was to be held for the
purpose of choosing municipal officers
The proclamation reads thus =
"The polls will be opened on Massa-
chusetts street, one door north Of P. r.
Brooks boot and shoe store, at 8 O'Clock
A. NJ, on next Monday, the 7th day of
March, and remain open until sundown
of said day."
Now, Sir, as 1 had been busy at my
work nearly all day, and as it was incon-
venient to leave early in the day, l de-
layed visiting the polls till about five
O'Clock in the afternoon. Upon my arri.
val at the polls, / found the room entirely
empty, neither Judge or Clerks were there
and thus was deprived of my vote.
was informed this morning that the Judg.
es of elections opened polls in another
part of the town without any legal right
and by this act not only deprived myself
but many Others, of our rights, and am
informed by legal gentlemen, that th;i
high handed proceeding vitiates the whole
election. And as oneiof the legal voter

Testimony Of Rssp.o,.

At special meeting Of the order of
Good Templars, in Lawrence, on the 9th
inst, the following preamble and resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, By the ordering of Him who
holds the power Of life and death our
brother, Rev. j. DODGE, has been removed
from among US, therefore,
Resolved, That in this sad event our
order is deprived of valuable member,
whose many excellencies have awakened
our deep respect, and whose amiable quail
tiles have endeared him to our hearts
during the short time that we have en-
joyed the privilege Of his society and CO.
operation; and the community at large
have lost good and useful citizen, a kind
neighbor and an able and devoted min
lister of the Gospel Of Christ.
Resolved, That while we are filed with
sadness by this loss, we would remember
that the example of our departed brother
urges rs TO exercise a submissive faith in
the Goodness and Wisdom of Him whose
Providence calls us to mourn, and we will
endesvor to profit by this impressive
miniature Of the shortness and frailty Of
our earthly life.
Resolved, That we will cherish the
memory Of the virtues. the zeal and use
fulness, Of our departed brother, that we
may thereby be melted to renewed dill
gence and fidelity.
Resolyed, That we tender our respectful
sympathy and coincidence to the family
and kindred Of the deceased.
Resolped, That we testify our respect
for our departed brother and our grief at
his loss, by attending his funeral services
| in body, and by wearing the usual badge
Of mourning for the next thirty days.
Resolped, That copy Of these rssolu-
tons be furnished TO the family Of the
deceased and for publication in each Of
our city papers.

Since the death of relative Of Mr.. Low
MAN, requiring his visit to the East, the
Executive Committee, appointed at the

have selected the firm of Stafford & SAT-
FORD, of this city, as attorneys for the
claimants. These gentlemen will prose-
cute the claims, not only before the Com
missioners, but before Congress, and in
consequence Of most of the business be-
ing thrown into their hands, they will be
able to do it for much smaller per cent
than it can be transacted by isolated par
ties. besides being far more effective
These gentlemen have the claims of all
the heavy sufferers in Lawrence, in theil
hands to prosecute, among which are those
of Messrs. ELDRIDGE, ROBINSON, HoRNsBY
MILLER, and Brown. Whatever is done
should be done unitedly. If single effort
had been left to exert itself in the prem.
ises, the late law would not have beer
enacted. Divided effort will never Sc.
cure the assumption of the debt by Con.
gress, hence the importance of giving oul
entire business to a single law firm tc
prosecute before both bodies.

ED. HERALD OF FREEDoM-DEAR SIR:
Not long since, I was present at meeting
held in Moneka for the purpose of organ
izing Republic an party.
Now, sir, l have no objection to men
being members of any party-I care not
what its name may be, SO long as they
adhere to truth and principle; certainly,
bear no ill-will to the Republican party,
as party, but cannot justify the acts Of
some Of its members.
But to return to the meeting. A Mr..
Adds made the assertion that a number
of Marshal Russells men visited GER
tain house (name not specifed) and CON-
mitted depredations upon the poor mans
stock of provisions, taking possession Of
the last mouthful of meat he had. Now
the facts are these They were recon-
mended to the house to search for Jay
Hawkers, and found one man but as can
nibalism is not fashionable in this part Of
the world, he could hardly have been the
article referred to, whom, being of sus.
picious appearance, they took possession
Of. This, however, was the only thing
approximating to meat taken on that ex.
pedition.
Now if Messrs. Adds & Co. can respect
aud uphold the men engaged in These
jay hawking expeditions, they are wei.
come to do SOL cannot. / would al
soon offer a sacrifice to the principles o.
Tom Paine or James Buchanan's admin.
istration, as do that. But 1 trust, sir
there are better days ahead; that the
time is coming when we shall be rid o.
these men who barter principle for power
and that true Republican party shall be
established, whose basis shall be founded
upon truth and integrity.

MANHATTAN, March, i, '0J.
G. W. Brown, ESQ., write now to
inform you that on Monday, February
18th, some short time after night, man
by the name of Firth, while in house
in the Ogden Bottoms, some six or seven
miles west of Manhattan, was instantly
murdered by being shot through the body
with ball discharged from a rifle by
some atrocious villain unknown. Other
persons were in the house at the time
Firth was shot. The ball passed through
the window of the house. The excite
ment Gin this quiet region Of country
where murder was, l believe, never be-
fore known was naturally intense. The
deceased had recently Bumped" claim
held by daughter of Thomas Sherwood,
"a very worthy and much esteemed man)
who, by some persons, was suspected of be-
ing guilty of this diabolical act. When Mr..
Sherwood heard of this report being in
circulation, he voluntarily and immedi-
ately appeared before justice of the
peace, and demanded an investigation,
which resulted in an honorable discharge
No clue has been obtained at the time of
writing, to the perpetrator Of this foul and
basely and cowardly act.
As 1 have intimated, believe it is the
first murder of white man in this
region, you can therefore surmise the pro-
found sensation that such cold blooded
murder would create upon the public
mind; it would startle our citizens much
more than it would those who live in a
region where such dastardly deeds are Of
frequent occurrence. The marks of the
perpetrators boot prints. which were large,
were traced some distance from the scene
of this hidious homicide. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that the perpetratOr may yet
be ferreted out and made to suffer the
condign punishment imposed by law upon
the agent of this horrid act.
might also add that the clothes of q
child of John Beck, German of Manhat-
tan, accidentally caught FIRE and before
the flames could be smothsred, the injury
sustained was so great that the little suf.
fsrer died the next day after the sad cas-.
uality happened. am truly yours,

CAPS. Y. CRAcKL1S. City Marshal.-
DEAR SIR:-Since learning the facts in
regard to the arrest made by you last
evening, Just before the close Of the polls,
/ am satisfied that an apology is due
you and your assistants, as well as the
good people of Lawrence, for my action
in the matter.
In releasing the prisoner I acted too
hastily and entirely under amisapprehen-
sion Of the facts in the case. It was re-
presented to me that the party arrested
was intoxicated, and that that was his only
offence.
Had known that he had made will
ful and malicious assault upon you, cer-
tainly should not have released him.
I am satisfied that your action in this
matter was not only prompt and efficient
but strictly in accordance with your duty.
Respectfully yous,
CIV. BABCOCK, Mayor.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-03-12
Auoihsr Rapubliean pefea,.

We publish elsewhere letter from one
of the most reliable Free State men in the
country, from Topeka, showing that that
city, the headquarters of radicalism in
Kansas, has gone over to the Democratic
party on an issue between Democrats and
Republicans, the later on the Lane &
Thacher platform.
These continued defeats of Republican
ism in the strong holds of the Free State
party, show how things are tending. A
letter in the last Republican, undoubtedly
from that distinguished gentleman, Au-
gustus Wattles, says
ave are now having an exciting can
vass on the organization of the Republican
party. The Democratic party, led off by
the Herald Of Freedom, is making strong
efforts to rally, and by its falsehoods and
perversions may succeed in binding
enough of the old Free State men to de-
feat US. But they have always had a
majority in this county, and it is uncertain
which will triumph now."
Linn county sent Messrs. SIBBIT, NIT
cHELL and DANFoRD, as genuine Free
State men as there are in the world, to
the Legislative Assembly, for two years
in succession but all at once it is dis
covered that Linn county has "alsOays''
been Democratic, and the public mind is
being prepared, by one of the leaders Of
the Republican movement, for defeat
There is one way to prevent the triumph
of the Democratic party in Kansas, and
that is to re-organize the Free State party
upon the Big Springs platform; but on nc
condition to do anything to prevent the
organization of the Republican party a
Osawatomie. Let the endorsers of Lane
Thacher, Vaughan, Conway, and Mont.
gomery meet and perfect their organiza
tion. They will then be well out of tn,
Free State party, and the latter will b.
infinitely stronger when they are outside
What say our readers to the proposition
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-03-12

need not be spoken Of here; it is known
to be fertile, yet it presents to the eye of
q superficial observer sandy appearance.
The creeks running into this river are
very heavily timbered. The Republican
City site is thirty miles up the river from
Fort Riley. but the better route to go
there is via the Wild Cat or Blue City,
and up Mill creek. As good water as can
be found in Kansas was obtained by dig
ging twenty-three feet. Those locating
on this town will be donated five shares,
or twenty lots, and mechanics could do
we'll there. A small store is much needed
and would pay well. There can be no
doubt but that the county will be settled
up next summer. There is quite settle
ment around Republican City, and no store,
blacksmith, nor any other kind of a
mechanic, that l am aware Of, within thirty
miles. The country abounds with ante
lope and all other game found elsewhere
in Eastern Kansas. The buffalo ranges
down this far, and hundreds were killed
in this region in the fall of '57.
I have said it was very strange that
this country is now unsettled Il mean
between the Blue and Republican rivers,
and in addition to the reason given, i NIGH
also say, that its natural resources are but
little known. We have not had, unit
recently, when the ably conducted juno.
ton Sentinel was issued, any newspaper
to make known its resources, while South.
ern Kansas has had a large number o.
papers to spread its wealth, and doubtless
the mede of praise must be awarded tc
you, Southern Kansas editors, from the
citizens of that region, for the ample
justice you have done that portion of tn
worlds garden; no complaints CAN be made
against you, for not doing your duty or
"that score" am far from saying tina
there is not as good soil on the Little
Blue, Smoky Hill, and between the lattel
and the Republican river, as is found il
the region / have made allusion to. But
everything considered. think that the
portion of country about which / have
spoken, is the most desirable place fo
emigrants; it is convenient to Manhattan
and Fort Riley. The latter place being
believe, the distributing post to the
other western posts, affords good marke
for all the products of the former. Truly
yours, A. NJ. BURNS.
