"OLD ABE, OUR CHOICE,

The question Of whom people shall vote for
for President has heretofore principally been left
to politicians, and the choice of the people mar
rowed down by their intrigue and chcanery
This was doubtless all well enough in ordinary
times, as the common people had but little time
to devote to party politics. and less of desire to
do SO. Heretofore, politicians have led in chos-
ing aspirants for the Presidency: but it seems
now that the people intend relieving them Of
this duty, and unanimously making their own
selection. Such action will be q compass point
for the politicians, who dare not disregard it.
1t is seldom that such unanimity is witnessed
regarding anything as is the demand already
being made for the reelection of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. And this interest manifested by the
masses in the affairs of Government, when it is
surrounded BY danger. exhibits plainly the fouu.
dation it has in their hearts, and is proof con.
elusive that an enlightened people are able to
govern themselves. and that the Government is
their Agent. This unanimity is indicated by
the press of the country, which seldom goes con-
trary TO public sentiment 1t is elsewhere a. it
is in this neighborhood. We have yet to talk
with q man who wants any other than "OID
ABE" to rule the Nation for the next four years.
We notice that q meeting of the Radicals of the
State. held at Topeka last Saturday. have chosen
ABRAHAM thus handsomely. in the unanimous
adoption of the following report of their Com
mittee:
Encouraged at the progress Of the ErrRxAL
TaUrH that freedom belongs to sll men. certain
of a near approach to an event in the history of
our Government, which shall signalize the total
abandonment of the idea ofproperty in man, aud

Withdrawal. If the settler filed after the with
drawal, he will be confined to so acres, and that
out of an even numbered Section. All the even
numbered Sections not occupied are still Govern

And any settler living on an odd numbered Sec
tion who fails to prove up and pay for his
Homestead or Presumption within his legal year
AFTER settling, the title to his tract passes to the
Railroad company. If the tract has never been
offered at Public Sale, he will not lose his right
till the sale or the restoration of the land to

entry an horr beyond his necessities. as there
are so many laws and rulings being made on
each line of road that he may get his right for

with quit claim deed properly made, his i'm
provement to his neighbor, but he cannot trans
fer his right to the land.
He can leave his tract and let it fall back to the
Government, and take another, but he will lose
the purchase money he paid. Prior rights exist

by quit-claim deed or by taking out proper no.
tices from the local office to the party on the
land.
In general We would say to all settlers, look
up your rights as soon as possible. ere your home

The Union Pacific Railroad, Eastern Division.
The first of January has come aud gone
and We have not taken our anticipated ride
to Lawrence BY rail. The elements have
proved stronger than man. Had it not been
for the premature closing of the river by
ice, the first forty miles Of the road would
certainly have been in operation by this
time or little later. The iron was, part
of it, on board the Majors when the ice
closed in about her, and the balance is At
ST. Joe or Weston. The locomotives and
cars are At St Joe, in use temporarily on
that road.
While, therefore, an injunction from the
hand of nature has been laid for the mo-
nent upon that part of the construction
which relates to the laying down of the
iron, the enterprise itself is BY no means
lying still. The getting out Of the ties and
telegraph poles, the building Of bridges and
culyerts is culverts is being rapidly prose
cuted.
As will be seen from our columns this
morning. the company are advertising for
ties for the second section Of forty miles.
As 5000 as winter breaks up the grading Of
the second forty miles will be Immediately
and vigorously entered upon; while the
6rst forty miles will speedily BE- finished
and put in operation.
The whole work connected With the
building, equipment and operation Of this
road, is being most thoroughly systems,is-

rigidly maintained. In short, the whole

clare, lst. That without conditions, We do en-
dorse ABRAHAM LINCOLN, rs President of the

we hereby tender our earnest gratitude. first to
our own Kansas soldiers, and second to the

We cheerfully subscribe to the choice they
have made, believing that the interests Of the
Nation demand the retention of the present
Executive in power. There is not the least dan
ger of a man being chosen, who possesses prin-
ciples contrary to those which are now leading
the Nation to peace, and we therefore deem it
unwise to trust the keeping and advancement of
those principles and the Nation to untried hands
Judging by the wisdom which has characterised
ABRAHAM LISCoLxs entire Presidential career,
We believe him to be as absolutely necessary to
the squelching of the rebellion as is the army
and a united people; aud his sagacious and far
seeing craftsmanship would indicate him to be
the man to guide the Ship of State through the
shoals of Reconstruction, leaving it fast to the
eternal rock of Universal Freedom. Until this
is accomplished we have use for the man.

Kansas Soldiers.


In the Senate of the United States, a
message was received from the President in
answer to the inquiry relative to the alleged
exceptional treatment Of Kansas prisoners
by the rebels-transmitting letters from,
the Secretary to the Commander-in Chief
Of the army and the Commissary General
of prisoners. Gen. Halleck says: I have
no information that the volunteers from
Kansas who were taken prisoners of war
have been treated by the enemy any diff
ferent than the volunteers from any other
State. He also states that the General in
command of the Department of which
Kansas forms part knows of no distinc.
ton between Kansas and other prisoners.
The Commissary General Of prisoners
says there is nothing in the Records Of this
Office to show the manner in which the
dead and wounded have been treated on the
battle field by the rebels; nor is there any
thing to show that Kansas volunteers have
been put 20 death on being taken prisoners.
Only So enlisted men of Kansas regiments
can be found on the Record as having been
delivered on parole by the enemy.
