SAVING THE CoUNIRr.-Gen. Steedman, the tempo
rzry Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Convention
following Senator Hill in the Senate announced that
to the Democratic party belonged the credit of sup
pressing the rebellion. There were brave men and
good soldiers in the Union army who were Demo
Gratis. That is gladly conceded by every Republican
But since Gen. Steedman and Senator Hill raise the
question it is well to recall that the last Democratic
President announced that the Union had no right to
save itself from rebcllion-an opinion which he de
rived from one Of the chief Of living Democratic
leaders, Mr.. Black. Every of the rebel chiefs
was = Democrat They defended their rebellion up
on Democratic doctrine. Every Coppcrhead that
stung the soldiers from the was Democrat
and the Democratic National Convention, in the
midst Of the contest declared the to be failure
Gen Steeslman and Senator Hill choose to raise this
question. They will have quite enough of the answer
The Democratic party in this country has been the
party Of caste and aristOcracy and special privilege;
the party Of the most Odious inhumanity and inius-
tice the party of State tyranny against the equal
rights Of American citizens and the natural rights Of
man the party Of sycophancy to foreign Ignorance
thefparty Of disunion and aatiOnal dishon0r. What
its leaders expect to gain by revvng in the political
contests Of to-day, recoections the damning to
any party in free and intelligent country not yet
apparent.-Harper's Weekly.

which says that the reception was got up by the
hardest kind of bumming, and came very near

The eensus returns of the present year, so far
as received from Kansas Counties, foot mp over
100000 population. The Counties not yet in,
and the population Of unorganized Counties,
will place the number over 10000. These are
the returns Of the Township assessors. and it is
known that the census taken in this way, in
connection with the assessment and the collec-
tan of agricultural statistics, is very imperfect
and inaccurate. The real population is much
greater than these figures will show. Next year,
the regular United States censns will be taken,
by thoroughly competent men appointed for th at
purpose, who will have that work to do, and
that only. Under this thorough system, and
with the large additions that will be made to
the population between now and then, there is
no doubt that the population Of Kansas will
reach considerably over one million, entitling
the State to not less than eight Congressman.
This wonderful growth is appreciated by none
SO much as those of Us who have been here for
more than twenty years past. Twenty-oue
years ago, nearly the entire population of Kan
sas hugged the Missouri border, with few scat
tered settlements little farther out. All ex-
cept the two eastern tiers of Counties was IN
unsettled wilderness of prairie. Teams came in
the Blue, and were almost looked upon as hail
ing from fcreigu country. few enterprisirg
men went far into the unknown country, and
started the town of Emporia. All south of Fort
Scott was Indian country, and all west and
north west of Emporia was the Great American
desert. Col w. A. Phillips started west, to
found the town of Salina, and it was a matter Of
doubt whether he would ever find his way back
again. Still later, it was announced that CON-
pany was laying out town on Ottawa Jones'
land. That town is now the city of Ottawa.
Topeka was q scattered hamlet, aspiring to he
the Capital of the State sometime in the uncer.
tain future, on the strength of her association
with the Free State struggle.
But to day, the settlements extend to the ut
termost bounds of the State, aud the towns
which were founded in the unknown wilderness
by adventurous spirits, are centres of populous
communities, with railroads connecting them
with The world ct large. The growth Of all
Kansas has been equally wonderful With the
past as an example, we can hardly venture to
predict what Kansas will be in another ten
years.
