Editors rrcss aod Tribune:
hope that my long silence has proved a
source Of no Inconvenience TO you or to your
renders. The telegraph aud our city papers,
perceive. hare kept yon posted in all important
matters Of news from this place. Lcavcnworth
is well settled, and is tue fountain head Of all the
Kansas news, from Pixies Peak and elsewhere
in the Territory. But VIC arc lar from losing
sight Of this fact. The industry o" the mana
gers Of the telegraph ut this place is worthy Of
a boast, while we eau ciaim that we hare threc
daily newspapers that arc not behind those Of
any city in their efforts to publish the latest
news.
The excitement consequent upon our late
election has died away, and the frauds By which
this county was carried By the same old r,1lian
intrigue has become as great matter Of SHINE
to the ricsors Us If was discontinue to the
defeated. 1t WIS believed by the Border Ruff
fan party, that to carry this county with her
ten delegates TO the Constitutional Convention,
was certain success in the Territory; and this
was cycn feared By the Republicans. hut it is
source Of gratitude to the Almighty, that
while lie allowed the vicious md dishonest
powers to rule in the river counties, the hardy
sons Of toll and industry in the interior were
not 50 lost to their interests, and overcome By
government money aud bad whisky. The Con-
vcntion stands 50 Republicans and II Demo-
crats, all Of whom stand pledged to votc for n
Free State Constitution.
The only matters Of important issue that will
probably arise will be, tile bauk question, tue
Registry lnw, and the first apportionmcnt Of the
new St4te into Senatorial aud Representative
districts, all of which will be under the exclusive
control Of the genuine Republican party. The

readers NAV remember has ever sustained tho

Since the appearance Of Nr. Douglas letter
our Democrats seem lost in the tog. The -ad-
ministration and Douglas factions combined in
the last election for the sake Of getting control
of the convention, but since they so sig
unlly defeated, they caunot tell where to 20.
The ItraA obsains large proportion Of its
support from Missouri, and its procliyitics are
alE in favor Of the .Administration-besi it
derives large patronage from that source. while
