Trying To AU8r LEAvENWORTH.
A Eev of our exchanges from neighborine

TRYING To AOBC AEAVENWVAs" H
A few of our exchanges from neighboring
towns-ye-, We are sorry to say, more than q
f.w of them-;eaious Of Leavenworth, and
envious Of her good luck, continue to make
the most urprincipled and unprovoked at
tacks upon our town, notwithstanding the
soienn::and on-repeatei protest Of many Of
our mos, intensely respectable citizens. We
have clipped and filed away, from time to
time, u collection of these rascally blows at
Leayenwcr,h. which, if reprinted, would
make volume bigger than Websters Die
tionary. But We don't intend to reprint
them-we shs'n't harrow up the feelings o.
our readers by bringing to their view this
disgusting panorama OF meanness which a
venal press has painted before the world
all for the purpose Of injnring Leavenworth
but TO let the people zee the neiarious
character Of these diabolical attacks upon our
prosperity, We append two or three menda-
cious items which came to hand yesterday
From the Chicago Post, Administration
Mr.. Caldwell. You have been appointed
by hook or crook too represent Kansas IN the
United States Senate. A committee Of the
Kansas Legislature has made report charg-
ing you, in definite terms, with having paid
a large amount OF money for votes whereby
to attain your seat, and great number Of
your constituents, headed by Hon. Sidney
Clarke, rei,erate the charges boldly, demand
your trial and agree 10 prove that you are
corrupt scoundrel. 1t Ia believed that you
are seeking TO evade a trial. Your conduct
indicates it. Do you net yet understand that
this il no April cloud, but . rising storm
which, iiyou turn your back on it, will sweep
YOU into the abyss? If you would savea shred
OF your reputation, you must permit prompt
and thorough trial, and not seek to throw
dust into the eyes of the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections. You are seriously in
dicted for crime; the suspicion of your guilt
is deep and widespread; nothing but perfect
candor can save you.
IFrom the raola Ecpuhlican-Adminis.raii on-l
The Delegation from Kansas TO the Gin
ciunaii Convention, j, Is said, prepared,
signed and sent forward a memorial to the
United States Senate TO make prompt and
searching investigation into the manner in
which one Alexander Caldwell secured his
seat in that body. This is all right; in this
matter men Of al parties ought 70 join and
have this usurper hurled from his place, Is
they are all in some measure responsible for
his election. He Was supported BY Demo
Gratis and Liber.l Republicans, distinction
by the way, without a difference, and they
must purify their own ranks.
