ELECTION OF PoxERoY AND Ross The
election of Pomeroy and Ross. and espe-

every Kansan who was not aware of the
condition of the political traps that were
set at Topeka on the morning of Wednes-

Tier it is big defeat, and like men we
will acknowledge the corn" We
fought Pomeroy with all the fsrvor that
/ our veins could summon to the task, and
we shall never try to deny it. for we have
clearly proven that Pomsroy has been
wilfully blind to our interests. Our first
and great choice was General A. L. Lee :

We thank kind Providence as it is that
Pomeroy is elected instead of so dirty a
shyster as Thomas Carney has proven
himself to be. Whether Pomeroy will
ignore our demands again as in the past.
or whether he will represent the whole
State impartially-for which purpose he
is elected-and which his friends claimed
he would do If reelected. we caunot sur

owe him q debt of gratitude for saving
the State from being disgrsced through

to obtain a seat in high place among

A bill is before the Missouri Legisla-
turs, changing the name and location Of
the Railroad running north from st. Jo-
seph. It is to be called the Missouri
Valley Railroad. and is to be run on the
bottom route to Forest City, which is
made a point. Above that place. no
points are designated The Company
say that it is absolutely necessary to run
it on the bottom route. and there is no
doubt the change viii be made. They
may ron branch rosd from Savannah
to the Iowa line. in the direction of Des
Noiues, after the main line is finished.

tive Of Holt County in the Missouri LIE.
gislature. has addressed q letter to j,
Condit Smith, President of the Road,
making certain inquiries. among which
is the following:
"Do You propose to tap the Missouri
River at White Cloud. Kansas. and q,
Brownville, Nebraska 90
Mr.. Smiths reply contains this answe,
to the foregoing question:
".W i'm reference to the route of tht
rosd above Forest City. I can only say
the route has not been located, but thai
its location must, of course. be governed
by the demands of trade. as for such pur.
poses alone railroads are constructed.
presume, therefore. that our Director,
will adopt such route as will, to ths
greatest extent. promote the convenience
of trade, and thus advance the interest o
the Company.
If the Company is to be governed BY
the consideration named above, We re
gard this reply as decidedly favorable t.
our prospects; for it will certainly pro
mote the convenience of vast trade, b,
making point opposite White Cloud
1t will be easier and cheaper to build tn
road on the bottom than along the bluffs
and if they do avoid the bluffs, the only
practicable route is undoubtedly on tb
west side of what is known as tn
Lake" That routs adopted, the in
creased distance by approaching the rive
bank opposite this place, will be a msr
triae, not worth making an account oil
when we consider the trade of the ricl
country tha. it would tap on this side O
the river.

Meeting of Fifsy.slxers.

During the peudsncy of the Senatorial
contest at Topeks. the old settlers there
collected. dating their residence from
1856 and earlier, held . meeting. and
organixsd an association. A motion
was msde to include the emigrants Of
1857 among the pioneers. but it was
voted down. They clsimed that the men
who came during previous years fought
The battle for freedom, and that those oil
1857 came after the work was, done.
With ell due respect for the Fifty Sixers.
We beg leave to dispute that claim. The
men of ,56 we're Q brave bsnd. and stood
mp msnfully: bat they must admit that
the 6ght which finally secured Kansas to
freedom. was made at the ballot box
The Fifty Sixers had given up all efforts
to carry elections. They were outvoted

polls, snd all thst sort Of thing. until
thsy finally did nothing but send out ap'
pesIs and protests sgsinst the frauds. sf.
ter the elections were over. They could
not touch bottom. and gave up trying to,
until the emigration of 1857 came to
their aid. When we cime here, in
March, 1857, it looked as if the Free
State party was rather showed under.
They had made no attempt to register
their names for the election of Delegates
to the Lecompton Constitutional Con.
vsntion, but let it go By default, putting
in their usual protest. About once a
month. they held elsctions under the To.
peka Constitution, which amounted to
about as much as little boy playing
"get married." with an old broom for
bride. Many of the Fifty. Sixsrs vio-
lsntly kicked against the project of meet.

matter. They did not want to recognize
as legal, any Law or regulation adopted
by the Pro.Slavery party. but preferred
to stand aloof, and protest against The

tion of which policy. would have brought
Kansas into the Union as Slave State.
The 6rst general fight at the polls, and
the first Free State victory won, was in
October, 1857: and it was tie emigra-
tion of the Spring OF that year that did
the business. The pioneers of previous
years gallantly maintained q footbold on
the soil. bnt the men of 1857 came in
and gave them victory at the polls.
Upon the whole, the action of the Fifty
Sixers in excluding the men of the fol-
lowing year from their Association, is
decidedly selfish.
