The Smoky Hill and Republican union. [volume] (Junction City, Kan.) 1861-1864, 1862-10-11

The indications at present are, that straight-
out Democratic State ticket will be placed in the
field. 1t appears that the Democratic State Con-
vention, which recently met at Topeka, assumed
too much in transferring the support of their con
stituents to parcel of unprincipled boilers. The
Democracy have a very poor opinion of boilers
The Inquirer ask the Democracy to refrain from
committing themselves, as steps may be taken to
put a full Democratic ticket before the people
With great candor it says "the Democracy are
this day more potent in Kansas than at any
former period of our history" Shouldn't Won
derive have about 10 900 soldiers in the field

THE OPPOSITION,

Person conversant with Kansas politics. and
the presumptuous would-be leaders with which
our State is infested, cannot but be surprised at
the number Of broken-down political mounte-
banks who are running the Lawrence ticket
A separation has been affected-so wide that the
people can now discern between the sincere, the
honest and upright, and the impure and unprin-
cipled. The party that holds the power OF the
State have at last gotten rid OF the lniectious
matter that was fast sowing the seeds OF dissoiu-
tion in our body polite. All things are working
for the better. The rush to new country must
necessarily bring together all classes, and saRe
time must elspse ere the political organization
of a new community will be completely purged.
The Republican party of Kansas have just past
through this ordeal, and comes forth, sound and
healthy, fresh and vigorous, putting forth
ticket, composed Of men as unsullied as were
ever drawn from the ranks Of the people
There are no circumstances surrounding the
present bolt that render it in the leas. just6able
or honorable. The character of the men engaged
is sufficient to damn it. A strong propensity
for log rolling and political rascality they have
ALWAYS exhibited. There is not q single one
connected with it that can give conclusive evi-
dence of sincerity. They make extravagant
| charges of corruption against the Topeka Con-
| vention, and with remarkable GOODNESS assert
that all manner of skullduggery and wire
pulling were resorted to. They can't stand 1t.
1t is rather mystery. Such virtuous indigna-
ton is not often witnessed. 1t is mystery that
admits more of doubt than open frankness and
honesty The idea of a politician passing
through Convention without pulling wires is
simply ridiculous. But with baseness we never
supposed even a Kansas politician possessed OF,
they dub themselves the masses" We do not
fear "the masses" 1t will be enough for every
Republican to know that his party has been rid
of that which was fast producing dissolution
and it will be pleasing to every good citizen to
learn that the course of events have brought
such number of political hucksters to such O
position that neither the Democratic or Republl-
can parties will have any thing to do with them
in the future Men who have been honest and
straightforward will henceforward be in the
advance. And thus will this bolt from the
Republican party prove to be one OF the most
beneficial in its results of any action that has
transpired in our State since its admission.
We do not question the honesty Of any man
on the Lawrence ticket; it will be enough to
know that John W. Robinson, impeached Secre
tary of State, and Gov. Robinson, who ought to
have been impeached also, are running 1t with
all their power. All the secession sympathizers
throughout the State are supporting it. The
people cannot trust party whose leaders pos
sess such records.

FROM THE KANSAS TROOPS.

The Fort Scott Bulletin has the first report Of
of severe fight at Newtonia, Missouri. The
fight was drawn one, our forces attacking the
enemy, and after battle of six hours withdraw
ing in good order. The 9th Wisconsin is said
to have suffered severely. The 9Th Kansas, with
Colonel Judson at its head, behaved most gal
lantly. So also did Colonel Phillips Sd Indian
Regiment. No report of losses. Both sides are
preparing for o severe contest. It's loss by the
rebels will seal the fate OF Missouri.
The Eleventh Regiment has been ordered to
reinforce them with oil possible haste.

. PRINCIPLES THROWN TO rHE DOGS.

OF all the bsre-faced specimens Of bargain and
.ale the Leavenworth Times is the cap-sheaf.
With the brazen-facedness Of the devil it shows
it's disregard of all principle, honor-all absence
of the least particle of selfrespect-and its ad-
besiveness to the Almighty Dollar. Last Spring
this sheet labored for fusion with the Inquirer
Democracy, at the same time stigmatizing them
as rebels. The next we hear of it is in urging
straight-out Republican State ticket, while
hundreds of honest patriotic Republicans were
endeavoring to affect union with the loyal
Democrats upon a common platform. 1t gets a
straieht-out ticket nominated hoists the ticket,
and goes into ecstacies eulogistic Of the men
composing it, and of the action Of the Conven-
ton The names are kept there two weeks; a
bid is made-down they come! and up goes the
mongrel ticket. A more bold and disgusting
sale of "a complete breakdown-we were going
to say principlesD has not occurred since the
days Of Judas.
But let it pass-praying We may no longer be
encountered by thing possessing so little Of
the instincts of the true man. Where such base,
ness exists, the devil has an open field.

Santa Fe Trade.

We learn from the Bulletin, that tn,
Santa Fe trade is fast centering at Leaven
worth. Several teams were in there from
Santa Fe, loaded with wool. We learn thai
Thomas Carney 4 Co., sold to one Santa
Fe trader, $4,000 worth of goods, anc
bought $4,000 pounds Of Mexican wool.
There is no reason why Leavenworti
should not control the entire Santa Fe
trade. 1t is the most lucrative in the West,
and there is always about the same demand
This trade built up Kansas City, and with
out it her interest would decline materially
The only reason Why that city has control
led this trade is because the streams leading
to this city have not been properly bridged
1t is now too late to do anything this season
in that respect, as the bulk of the trade viii
be over in q few. weeks. We urge upon
our citizens and business men to see to II
that the streams leading out from the city
are properly bridged, and roads made good
this is all that is necessary now to do t.
forever command this trade. Santa Ft
merchants have long ago found out that W
have the only stock of goods, west of Chi
cago or St. Louis, and they prefer to come
here. The outlay will be small while tht
profits will be large. If We do not attene
to the matter, when peace returns Kansas
City will again be reaping the benefits O.
this profitable trade.

The President Visits the Army.

The President, Gen. Mcclellan and others
left McClellan's headquarterr at 10 o'clock,
to-day, and visited the battlefield of South
Mountain. Mcclellan and staff there took
leave of the President who arrived at
Frederick at five P. NJ. lie was enthusi-
astieally received, and spoke few words to
the assembled multitude.
President Lincoln made call upon the
wounded General Har.suf, and soon after
left for Washington amid the cheering OF .
throug of citizens and soldiers, to whom he
returned thanks briefly as follows: Fello:
citizens, am surrounded BY soldiers, and
little farther of by citizens Of this good
city of Frederick, nevertheless can only
say, as did Eve months ago, that it ia not
proper for me 20 make speeches in my
present position. I return thanks to the
soldiers for the good service they have
rendered, the energy they have shown, the
baldshi2s they have endured, and the blood
they have shed for this Union Of ours, and
also return thanks, not only to the col
dis:s, but to the good citizens Of Frederick,

OUR COUNTY NOMINEES.

Our Ticket is now complete. The Union
County Convention, which met in this place last
Tuesday, have put in the field most excellent
ticket. No portion Of the State affords better
men than have been placed forward-and no
selections could have been made that would have
so universally suited our people. The Conven
ton was more free to choose than any that has
ever met IN our County. There were no aspi-
rants to clog the workings Of the Convention by
their anxiety and scheming-nothing existed to
mar the unity that prevailed.
The Convention was peculiarly fortunate in
its selection of candidate for Representative.
G. F. GoRpox, has ability, good and correct
understanding of law. and an experience in off
cial business of various kinds, that eminently
qualify him for the position. Mr.. Gordon Is an
honest, bold and patriotic Democrat. and for
sock its organization in Davis county when it
became An encourager of treason. In all his
political convictions he is honest and firm, and
favors war measures particularly severe. His
integrity is unimpeachab!e, and our people can
| confide in him to the utmost limit.
The same might be said of the remainder OF
the ticket. WILLIAM NJ. Snow possesses every
qualification for Probate Judge. and will fill the
position with honor to himself and satisfaction
to the people He is honest and reliable, and
will prove faithful to the trust. OF DANIEL
| MITCHELL, it is useless to speak. Every man
| in the County knows him for his integrity and
| capability. We know, and 80 does every one
that has had occasion to see them, that under
Mr.. Mitchell's care Davis County has the neates'
and best kept set of books, we venture to say, Of
any County in the State. The duties OF CLERK
Of the District Court are arduous, and Mr.. Mitch.
ell has proven himself possessed Of all the bus
iness qualifications necessary to fill the position
creditably. For Sheriff, EDWARD CoBs y placed
forward He is man Of good practical sense
and Judgment, honest, capable. and industrious
and possesses the confidence of his felow-citizens
The nominee for School Superintendent, Mr. O.
DAWSON is fortunate and exceedingly satisfactory
to all parents interested in our school system
Mr. Dawson is thoroughly acquainted with all
the systems of commonsehool education, and
with the experience of long and successful
course as teacher, and deepand active interest
in such matters, he is the proper person to lead
our educational affairs.
One pleasing feature Of the ticket is the pure
private character of the persons composing 1t

and to the good men, women and children
of this land of ours, for their devotion to
this glorious cause, and say this with no
malice in my heart towards those who have
done otherwise. May our children and

tious continue those benefits conferred upon
us By united country. / have cause yet

more farewell

1t is ascertained that the next steamer
from New York will carry sufficient money
to the Gulf to pay all amounts due our
soldiers in that department.
Sometime ago sufficient funds we're trans.
mitted to North and South Carolina for a
similar purpose, with comparatively few
exceptions. No part of our army is more
than in arrears, and the reasons for this
inattention are, that company officers and
paymasters, and large number of strsg-
glers, are away from the place of mastering.
Difficulties seem to exist in consequence
