THE TICK EFT.

We have the most encouraging accounts
from all quarters, in regard to the Republi-
can State ticket. The dissatisfaction which
was manifest at first is subsiding, and all are
iocking to its support. The following pa
pers have hoisted the ticket and are doing
good work for it: Lawrence Republican.
Leavenworth Conservative, Times and Bal
letin, Topeka Record and Tribune. Wyan-
dott Gazette, Bourbon Monitor, White Cloud
CHIEF, junction City Union, and Grasshop-
per Falls Gazette.
The people will not be fooled by the oily

Republicans who failed to get nominations.

From the lawrence Republican.
The Republican Ticket.

We support the ticket and the party, bu
not the corrupt and demoralizing practices
sought to be migrated in the policy of the
party. The people are sound and true; the
politicians, as mass, corrupt and dishon-
est. We are not ready to give up the Ke-
publican organization. It must be purified
and the thieves and robbers expelled from
its courts. The good men must unite and
put down the traders, the schemers, tn.
dealers in offices. the buyers of votes, and
the corruptionists generally.
| THE GuBERNAroR1AL NoM1NAT1oN.-We
believe Tom Carney to be better man
and much honester one, than some of the
politicians are who engineered his canvass
at Topeka. We are authoritatiVely inform
ed that many things were done in his name
there, entirely without his authority or con-
nivance, and that if elected, he will be no
mans tool. He is successful business
man, very philosophical, and we doubi
not will make very good Governor il
elected.

SECRETARY cHAsE's SPEECH.

MY FRIENDS: All the light that you can
have this evening will be the light reflected
from the great act of the President. T A
voice: '"That's light enough" Iunder
stand that you have ust paid your respects
to the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, to
assure him that the proclamation which he
has recently issued finds its echo in the
hearts of the American people. Great
applause. No one can rejoice more sin
ceEely than myself, in the belief that the
judgment which you have expressed of that
act will be the judgment of the whole people
Of the United States. Loud applause.
l am, fellow citizens, better accustomed to
work than l am to speak. I love acts bet
ter than words. Cries of "Good," and
applause. A voice: "Green backs show
that" Laughter and applause. But, fel-
low citizens, nothing has ever given me
more sincere pleasure than to say amen to
the last great act of the Chief Magistrate.
["Good, 3" Good" In my judgment it
is the dawn of new era; and although
that act is performed under an imperious
sense of duty, created by the military ext
genc;es which give him power to perform
it, it is nevertheless an act, though neces-
sarily baptized in blood, an act of humani-
ty and justice. Applause. The latest
generations will celebrate it. T A voice:
"And the whole world"] The world will
pay homage to the man who has performed
it: [APplause. You will excuse me,
fellow citizens. Cries OF go on" Ego
on" If there is another word to be ad-
ded tonight, it is this, that the time has
come when we should bury all jealousies,
all divisions. and all personal aims, and all
personal aspirations in one common resolve
to stand by the integrity of the Republic.
Great applause. Let him have the most
of our appreciation [applause] and conf,
dence, who does most, whether in the field
or at the head of the nation, or in the Cab
met for the country. Applause. Dis
missing all the past let US look only to the
future, and henceforth let the day of dis
sension, defeat and discord be ended. Let
us do nothing except to work for our coun-
try, wherever Providence may dictate:

THE END OF SLAVERY.

On our outside to-day we publish the
smancipation message of the President, en-
ire. So far as the proclamation of the
Chief Magistrate can accomplish it, the in
etitution of slavery-the one which has caus-
ed more trouble in this country than all 9TH
P, ars combined-is at an end in the rebellious
States, in three short months. By this act
ABRAHAM LINCOLN has immortalized him
SELF He is entitled to rank with Washing
ton, as friend to humanity and savior of
his country. We know there are those who
say the proclamation is impracticable, and
will amount TO nothing. This is day OF
great events, and if it's effects are not felt
by the Rebellion, in short time, and that
very seriously, we are mistaken.
The Union is to be acknowledgements
by the abolition of slavery. And ABRAHAM
LINCOLN is the man, raised up of God, we
firmly believe, to knock the manacles from
the imprisoned bodies and souls of the
slaves. Let the future tell as to the prac-
ticabiIity of the act. In our judgment the
world will acknowledge it one of the wisest
and best acts of the nineteenth century
In the language of the New York Tribune,
thank God for ABRAHAM LINCOLN"

Chief Justice Catron has written letter
on the late proclamation of emancipation,
and says he regrets it, as i'll advised-calls
it tub thrown to the abolition whale"
which may endanger the whole ship; and
says it weakens the hands and burdens the
shoulders of those who support the war
He predicts that the democrats will prose-
cute the war, but that those who extorted
this measure will, in seven months, clamor
for peace by separation, and adds that this
is an unwise and unjustifable act He also
goes in for the Constitution.

IOODSs
+ New YoRK, Sept. 80
The Washington correspondence of the
Philadelphia Inquirer says; Il is rumored
that the reason for the existing quietude of
the armies on the upper Potomac is that
Commissioners are on the way from the
Confederate Congress to propose terms of
peace, said to be something like the follow
ing:
The loyal States to take all the terrific ries
of Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ma
ryland, and make them free or slave States,
as may best please them. The cotton States
to be permitted to have Congress of their
own, to regulate their own domestic affairs
only; in all other things to be again as one
and an inseparable people for defensive and
offensive operations against other countries;
TO be unity in all matters of postage and
revenue service, the same as heretofore,-
they pledgtng themselves to return all the
Government property as they found it.
They, in addition 10 a separate Congress to
regulate their peculiar Institutions, to be per-
mitted Senators and Representatives in our
Congress in such numbers as their free
white population entities them.
The Star says: 1t is generally believed
here that JEFF. Davis is about to send 5O,-
600 troops. on forced marches, across the
mountains to Wheeling; thence to Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati: then form junction
with Bragg. and Kirby Smith of Kentucky.
When Mcclellan crosses in large force into
Virginia, the balance of the rebel army will
fall back on Richmond: The Star init
mates that Heintzelman is in position to
intercept the latter movement, if made.
1t is understood that Eli Tnayer will i'm
mediately receive the appointment of Mill
tary Governor of Florida, in order to enable
him to carry out his scheme for the intro
duction into the South of loyal laboring
population.
