1t will be seen. by reference to our advertising
columns, that the newly-elected Register of Deeds
for Breckenridge county has entered upon the

Of E. P. Bancroft. in Emporia. The Board Of Su-
peryisors, at special meeting held en- Wednesday

at such point as they might deem best for the in
terest and convenience Of majority Of the people
Of the county, and our Register has selected thii
as, in his opinion, the best point for the prpos.

C. V. EsKRIDGE.--We do not make use of this
gentleman's name in political connection this
time-in viii CHI relation he has borne a consricu-
Gus part heretofore-but to announce the fact that
he has purchased the interest of Mr.. c. Hornsby
in the store of Hornsby & Flick, in this place. II
is with pleasure that we notice this change. Mr.
Eskridge was one of the very first settlers in EN-
poria-came here without money. and with no pro-
fession but that of printer-and by close industry
and economy can doubtless boast of as good show
of property to-day as any young man in these parts
The store of Flick d Eskridge is one of the largest
in Southern Kansas. and viii do an extensive trade
the coming year. Read their advertisement in
another column.

A word for the Republican Press.

A Word for the Republican Press.
During the political campaigns which
have just closed SO triumphantly for the Re-
publican cause, the hard work-the work
that counted on election day. was chiefly done
by the Republican Press of the Territory.
There was much public speaking done. bat
the audiences were meagre--necessarily so
because the people generally were too much
occupied with the important work of secur-
ing food and protection for the winter, which
is now upon US, to attend political meetings.
But the people of Kansas are reading peo-
pie, and at their own hearthstones, after the
work of the day was over. they read in their
newspapers of the progress of the canvass.
the qualifications of candidates, the aims
and principles of the different parties as ex-
pressed in their platforms. They had their
time to note carefully the different men and
measures asking for their suffrages. and
Judge calmly of the results to follow from
the endorsement of this one or that one. It
is in this manner that the real sUork of the
campaigns has been done. The REPUBLI-
CAN Press of Kansas has done its full share
of this work earnestly, cheerfully and eff
fectually. 1t has also done it grdtuitously;;
for there has been no public patronage 10
bestow upon it; its editors have very gen.
orally received no reward in the shape of
Offices; and no Republican paper in Kansas
is supported simply because it is Republi-
can paper. Yet in spite of this lack of en-
couragement, the REPUBLICAN, Press Of
Kansas has been the means of the triumph
of the Republican party
In view of these circumstances we hold
it to be the duty of those persons who have
received Offices of profit and trust at the
head of the Republican party of Kansas. to
make suitable acknowledgment of it to the
power behind the throne''-the REPUBL1-
CAN PREss-by first subscribing themselves,
and then laboring earnestly to increase the
circulation of these papers in their respect
i've neighborhoods. By so doing they will
not only testify the appreciation of the eff
cient labor of which they are to reap the
more immediate results, but they will also
aid in disseminating the vital truths of Re
publicanism. of which the press is the ex-
ponent. We speak earnestly in this matter:
and doubt not that the Republican Press of
Kansas will echo our feelings and sentiments.

A Nut for Douglas Democrats.y

4 Nut for Douglas Democrats 9
We presume that IL will be Of insenest TO
the douglas Democrats, Of Kansas, who
pretend to condemn Mr. Buchanan and his
Administration. to know that the entire
Douglas Democratic delegation from IL
1inois. under the direction Of Mr.. Douglas
himself, went into the caucus with she ADJ
ministration members of Congress for the
nomination of candidate for Speaker--vo-
ted for Mr.. Bocoek. the Bnehanan candid
ate, and then supported bin With their votes
and influence before the House. This Mr.
Bocock is Virginia fre-eatsr, who as a
member of the last two Congresses persist
emily opposed the Homestead bill and Mr..
Crows bill for giving to pre- -emptioners ten
years in which TO pay for their lands. Mr..
John A.. Logan, one of these Illinois Doug.
las men, said in a speech in the House that
he did not know any such distinction be-.
tween Democrats as Lecompton and .Apti-
Lecompton. He was going to support the
Charleston nominee for President, besahe
whom he might and on what platform pro-
Slavery or asfi-sldUery; the Democratic par
ty 'eusr had and never could do wrong. )
We call the attention of settlers to this
action of the Democracy against measures
so vital to the interests of the West as a.
Homestead bill. Let settlers here, and EN-
igrants of all classes who seek new Western
homes, make note of these things. And
if there beany auti-slavery men in the Dem.
ocratic party, We ask them to consider these
things. :,
Mr., Bocock has also persistently refused
to answer whether or not he would favor
the dissolution of the Union in case North.
ern man should be elected to the Presi-
dency next year, and this is of q deeper sig
nifcance from the fact that nearly every
Southern man who supports him is an 0uoa0-
ed secessionist. In view of.these circum-
stances, the refusal of Mr. Bocock to an
swer this question is tacit admission that
he Uoald favor tie dissolution Of the Union
IN case Northern man acre elected to the
Presidencyi The Northern Democracy
have been dragooned into the support of a
Southern Disunionist for speaker 81
After the support given to Mr.. Bocoek
by Douglas Democrats, and the statement
of Mr.. Logan thai the Illinois Democracy
would support the Charleston nominee be
he who he might and on any platform that
could be invented-we should call the flu
sion between Douglas and Buchanan pretty
near complete. Nothing buta sort of ehron-
ic antipathy separates these two distinguish
ed champions of Democracy. @ss5

advocates the repeal of the law giving pref
