LETTER FROM ELDORADO.

Eldorado, the county-seat of Butler
county, is beautifully located, near the
junction of the Little and Big Walnut
rivers. This promising and well-to-do
business place,as all are aware was, lover
a month since, visited by one of the
severest and most destructive lorna
does ever known in the State of Kansas.
1t suffered greatly by loss Of lives and
property; but the people were too ener-
getic to stop and lament over the troub-
les and losses that were heaped upon
them, and with a determination to
place their town upon the same footing
as b. re, went to work, and to-day all
feel mat Eldorado is now prepared to
compete with any town in southwest
ern Kansas. With good prospects, she
is ready to work increasingly both for
the interests of her own and the great
valley In which she is located. Bust
ness of all kinds is well represented.
She has one bank, and paper which is
well known throughout Kansas. With
Such a country around it as there Is
and with such class of energetic men
as it has in it, to say nothing about hel
railroad projects, she will undoubtedly
be one of thefnest and pleasantest towns
to live in in southwestern Kansas
Those seeking homes can do no better
than to come and see both EldoradO and
the finest valley in the state before
settling elsewhere.
OCCASIONALLY.
Eldorado. July 18th. 1871.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1871-08-04

The last issue of the Emporia Ledger
contains a long article which appears
intended for q sort of three-headed re-
ply to our own interrogations, and
those of the Emporia Nesos and EN-
poria Tribune. As far as our own arti-
Gle is concerned, we are forced to say
that it does not "fill the bill, and the
Ledger shows a painful disposition to
tride with our own feelings as seeker
after the truth.
The most we can gather from the
Ledger is, that it has discovered that
during the greater portion Of his life,
and the most distinguished part of it.
Henry Clay was not q democrat. We
are very glad that the Ledger has fall
en- in with the popular belief in this
matter, and confesses that Henry Clay
was a wing. The admission shows
that the Ledger is capable of learning
something. In regard to the Buffalo
convention of 1913, the Ledger does not
make an equally gratifying advance in
knowledge. It still insists on that con.
Vention being a democratic movement
and ignores the wings who took part in
it This, however, is not material
Had the convention been composed en-.
tirely of democrats, it would still have
borne the same proportion to the dem
OCEatAC party VI bA0 COuutTyS Tic pdIL1
which run General Cass, that a dogs
tail does to the rest of the animal, and
we have Lord Dundreary as authority
for saying that it is the dog that wags
the tail, and not UEce VeTsa. The dem
ocrats VINO took part in the Buffalo
convention had no appreciable effect on
the conduct of their party throughout
the country. No national democratic
convention ever adopted the principles
of the Buffalo platform of 1848.
The Ledger attempts to show that
Gen. Cass in 1861, thirteen years after
the Buffalo convention, gave in his ad-
hession to its doctrines. It can not pro.
duce line from one of his speeches or
writings to show that he ever did any
thing of the sort. Gen. Cass lived and
died anything but stfree soldier"
The Ledger does not inform us whether
during the war Mr.. ValIandingham
was or was not Democrat. Now that
the Ledger has discovered the political
status of Henry Clay, we would be glad
if it would turn its attention to Mr.. Val
landigham.
We have been thus particular in re-
ply to the LedgeT's articles, because
as we underestimate, Ledger aims to be
the leading democratic organ of south
