did not speak long in Lawrence, for trust
words are Dot there needed. Her people have had
practical illustrations Of toe great issue which d.
vides the country and are not likely soon to forget
them. Of course, her pioneers will die or become
dispersed; new men will come IN or rise up 70 MI
their places and another king arose who knew
"not Joseph" will find its parallel in her futare'
Thus. among her newcomers is the gentleman VINO
led over one thousand armed Missouri ans from
Jackson County in March, 1855, and returned by
their votes and revolyers PrO-Slavery mea to re-
present her in the bogus Legislature of that year.
He il. of course, an "Old-LiDe Wing" of the Bu
chausp stripe, snd will make firstrate " Free
estate Democrat" in due season. By-and-by,
when the grogshops already too numerous
in Lawrence shall have manufactured OF
attracted thither sufficient number OF Ground
tier Democrats, and mortified pride or dis
appointed ambition shall have wrought its perfect
work with quite number of sometime Free-State
men, he may be chosen Mayor Of the city Of his
young love, and The Constitution (or Whatever may
| then be the name Of the Pro Slavery organ at

| trumpets that " National Democracy has tri-
umpbed az last in the great stronghold of Kansas
Abolition" But tha. will not probably happen
just yet
| While was in Lawrence, the little steamboat
" Gus Linn" Capt Bessly, came down the Kaw
frcm Fort Riley, some thirty miles above the fork
Of the Big Blue and q believe 235 from the mouth of
the river, and over 100 in bee line. She reached
| the Fort in a little over two days from Kansas
City, discharged her cargo sDd loaded on her way
down with Corn, whereof Kansas has large
surplus Of last years growth, after supplying this
years heavy emigration to Pixies Peak. As the
Territory has lit,le Or nothing else to sell, and
almost every thing to buy, she would like to export
her Corn if she had any way by which TO get il to
the Missouri without costing all it will fetch, so
| that this pioneer passage Of steamboat above
Topeka and Manbattan was hailed with general
| e1ultation. Her burden is 300 tsns, and 'he
draws when fDn but thirty inches (when Light,
scarcely 10y, and in the present stage 81 water,
presume she might easily go up 20 the Falls, ~
niles further. Of course she can only do this to
any purpose when the water is very high; but in
the absence of passable roads, the fact that this
river can be Dayigsted at al throughout the most
| thckly-peoplcd portion Of Kansas, is Of some
| consequence.
Il left Lawrence by stage on Saturday morning,
crossing the Kaw by good ferry directly at the
city, and rising to wide and well-timbered bot
tom on the north 1t is probably we'll for Law
renee ultimately that this timber is in Indian hands,
and therefore TO be preserved for some years,
though for the present the Reserve is nuisance to
| her. Beyond the Kaw Bottom, stretches beautiful
| and gently-undulatDg prairie, checkered by belts
of tiwber on the creeks which traverse it, across
the Re serve and beyond, until we begin to descend
the Missouri bluffs to Leagenworth.
Coming to Turkey Creek" the passengers
were turned out (ss once or twice before) to
tighten the coach which was then driven cautiously
through the steepbaDked ford, while the passen-
gers seyeraly let themselves down perpendicular
| bank by cngiDg 10 tree and crossed deep and
whrling place above the ford, on the vilest log
ever attempted TO walk-twisty, shsrpbacked and
every way detestable. One of the passengers re-
fused 10 risk bis life on it, but hired one of the
lazy Indians loafng on the further bank to bring
over pony and let him ride across the ford. At
:" Big Stranger" We changed coaches with the
passengers from Leavenworih--who had been
waiting our arrival here two hours and must have
been glad to see us-our baggage being first taken
across the deep, ugly stream in ssih and the
passengers next either coach returning the way it
came. We left Lawrence at nearly 10, and arrived
