The Kanzas news., 1859-05-07
the Rapubiioan Press.

We eajof fast of fat shings in Iooking
over the columns ef oar Territorial exeAan-
ges. every time the nail arrives. Il does
one good TO see hoM nably the Press comes
upto The work of organizing she Rspubli-
can party. First in order, from the ex-
treme North east corner of Kansas comes
The Whsts Czosd Chief, in complete war
dress. painted to the top of the mode, with
q gorgeous plume of eagle feathers. waving
Efiom histop-knot. and brandishing the Be
publican hattle-azes in=splendid style. Aad
then his war cry! It is so intensely musi-
cal that the enemy instead of being terrified
are charmed att. and the spirit of fight
departs from them. The Chief is veil and
ably seconded in Doniphan county. by the
Palermo Leader, al accomplisbed and val
iant brave. whose blows fall thick and fast
on every thing of bogus origin or tendency.
These being the only two papers in DeHi
phan, We pronounce that county all right,
most emphatically. There comes from the
"City of .Atcbison'' (mark the name) that
sterling sheet, so well and truly named
"FTesdona's Chdmpsos" edited printed and
published; by our young friend, Jo#N. A.
MARTrs, and . truer son of the cold Key
stone never welded pen or shooting stick.
/ Pungent, pithy, pointed and truthful his
editorials never fail of their aim. Who
could have hoped three years ago when the
sto of
that infamous rufizn, Bob Kelly, was inei-
ting its readers to mob and murder every
Free State man who dared to tread the soil
of Kansas, that the very same types would
so soon be used to- proclaim the truth and
the whole truth of the Republican creed in
that same city. which still bears the name
of the head devil in the war, waged against
Free Kansas, and her citizens. The Cham
pion is one of the boldest, tF1est and best
Republican papers that comes toaour table,
and is evidently making friends, and ma
king money. -cf .,.,.-.-es.r 81 -.
Bot what have we here? Why simply
the handsomest, best printed and best edit
ed Daily West of the Mississippi river
The Leavenworth Daily Times; full of hope,
vim, pluck and principle; full of fight when
the exigencies of the times demand it; full
of fun at all times; full of hope for the good
time coming, and full of good works to has
ten its coming. Best of all, full and run
ming over with new fresh business adver-
tisements, which show not only that Leav-
enworth has facilities for business, but that
she has men who understand how to do 1t,
and how to avail themselves of the potent
aid of the Press. Success to Leayenworth,
the young giant of Free Kansas-success
to her model paper, the Times, and ample
success to its brave unfinching editor,
CHAMPION VAUGHAN.
But belay there; We have reached the
Kansas river, and here's where Commodore
T. D. Thatcher, hangs out his broad pen
nant-The Lawrence Republican. No bra
yer or stauncher craft ever rode the bois-
terous seas of political strife. Her guns
are always kept bright, and her decks clear
ready for action, and woe to those long, low,
black, rakish looking Lecompton junks,
when the Commodore opens her broadsides.
Bomb shells, hot shot, chain shot, grape
and canister, soon teach the luckless royers
the lessen old Ironsides taught so we'll to
the Cyane, and Levant, the Guerrier and
the Java. Sailing Master, s. o. Thatcher,
keeps bright look out ahead for the finan-
cial rocks and shoals, upon which so many
Kansas clipper has foundered. We wish
them prosperous cruise, and abundance of
prize money. zee
Belonging to the Kaw squadron, are the
Topeka Tribune. and the Commercial Ga.
zette, Wyandott. The Tribune, now edited
by Lorenzo Dow Esq, Mayor of Topeka,
is one of the old Guard, and more than
maintains its former good reputation. - &
The Gazette, We are sorry to say, hangs
fire somewhat for the present, but no true
Mac Donnald ever yet saw his kinsman go
out TO battle without joining in the slogan,
when the bagpipes sound the shrill signal
for the onset. -=5sl-'
The osawattomie Herald, published on
the old battle ground. is all right of course.
It should have been named The OsaRato-
| mie War Eagle-or something else besides
Herald, for Heralds went from one post to
the other. to make proclamations, or ar
| range preliminaries for fight, and negotia-
tons for peace. but never actually mingled
| in the fray. We have not received the Os-
| er Griffith, let us hear from you. -
The Linn county Herald, is new ally
| in the good cause. published at Mound
City, among the Jay-Hawks, and edited by
| IIov.-u1rIysaN. fcrmerfv of the O,t,,ro.
