This is ticket which no Free State

that Of the Pro-Slavery party. As fer
as we know, they are ell honorable. so.
Der. upright men. who, whsn they ask

no need to beg that the veil Of oblivion
may be drawn around their past history.

VIZ. D. BEELER, Of this Township. il
the candidate for Councilman in the Ter
ritorisl Legislature. He is well and "a
vorably known in this part Of the West.
He was once Sheriff Of Holt County, Mo-,
and was among the earliest settlers in
Kansas. He entered into the mercantile
business. and opened the 6rst store in
Iowa Point, where the early Free State
settlers Of Northern Kansas have cause to
remember him. Although he had resi-.
ded for about twenty years in Slave
State, he was Jet . strong advocate Of
Free Labor. and practiced what he pro-
fsssed. For long time, and during the
darkest days Of Kansas. he was almost
alone in the advocacy of Freedom in
Iowa Point, and many . time concealed
Free State men in his store, when the
Pro-Slavery hounds were on their track;
and it was frequently found necessary 10
guard the store for nights in succession,
lest the Ruffians should destroy il. A
man who stood up to the work in those
days, and under those circumstances, may
safely be trusted now. Mr. Beelsr wa,
