Wayne Township. in this County, is to
be found at Geary City. where some Of
the truest men in the State reside. In
the old days Of Free State and Pro-Slave-
ry, Geary City was the only bright spot
in the Township. Still later. in the con-
tests between Republicanism and Democ-
racy, Geary City never faltered. And in
this day Of loyalty and treason. Geary
City is found where she ought to be. We
doubt not that Union will carry the day

Wayne, like our own Township, is cursed
with a large number of traitors. But
Geary City is the leaven that will leaven
the whole loaf.

& CLASSIC GaouxD.-An exchange, sd-
vocasing the elaine Of Topsks for State
Capital. says that ''to The Free State
people of Kansas. Topeka. Is classic
ground" We admit that proud memo
ries cluster around Topeka. and that no
Free State man has cause to bs ashsm-
ed Of hsr: but when you 60 to talking
about classic ground. just halt at Law
renee. That town was the heart. the
soul, the life Of freedom in Kansss. af
. time when rufisnism had overrun every
Other part Of the Territory-when Atch-
ison, which is now the "right bower" OF
Topeka. was the main stronghold OF Bor-
der Ruffianism, whence issued tho ma
rauding gangs that carried murder
throughout the borders Of Kansas. Law
renee was the one great object Of Pro-
Slavery hate, against which all its efforts
were directed. Lawrence was belesguer-
ed. assaulted, captured. and her Free
State citizens bound and imprisoned.
Lawrence and Mt. Oread have memories
for the Free State people Of Kansas. like
those which Boston. Fanieuil Hall, and
Bunker Hill have for American Freemen.
As we have before remarked, the old po-
litical issues have. or should have. no bear
ing upon the Capital location; but when
they are thrust in as an issue, Lawrence
reaps the benefit.

candidate for that position? They did

The ticket nominated is Union-com.
posed Of Republicans and Democrats. in
order to enlist all parties in its support.
By what authority did the Republican
Central Committee nominate such .

their authority. If an entire State ticket
was to be nominated, why were the peo-
pie not notified to send delegates to q

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1861.
The government are not ready, it appears, to
decide upon the questions submitted to it by the
Commissioners from the Confederate States.
An arm,stice of ten days has been agreed
upon between the Commissioners and the ad-
remain, and peace is, therefore, to be preserved
for that period least.

Davis to the effect that affairs at Fort Pckens had
assumed peaceful aspect, and that there was no
danger of collision unless the government at
tempted to reinforce that fort.
structed the commanders of the vessels off Pensa-
cola not to make any move until further advices
have been sent them. This is decided and en-
phatic change of policy. 1t may be the object of
the administration, in asking for this delay, to
gain time, with view of perfecting and arrang
ing their plan of operations.
