Squatter-Sokmgn. ATCHISON, FEBRUARY 3, 1855. TO THE PATRONS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The im'fcrsigned would ask as a favor, that his oU Patrons who are indebted for Suterription, Job Work, or Advertising, would forward the respective amounts due, mined iatety. The new enterprise ! we have embarked in, requires capital, and as we have depended on the debts due us for a part of that capital, it is particularly nec cssary that we should receive every dollar. Subscribers who have paid in advance, will receive the ' "Squatter Sovereign." Money enclosed in a letter, directed to the undersigned, at Atchison, Kansas, Tcr.; in the care of Abell & Striugfellow, Wes ton, Mo., will be promptly received. ROBERT S. KELLEY. ESSWc call the attention of our readers to our advertising colums; particularly to the advertisement of the Port William Trustees, as offering to speculators a chance for investments by which much may be realized. Port William is a beautifull site, a few miles above Iatan; with fine timber adjacent, and only three or four miles from the California road. And also, to the Atchison Ferry company's card, affording to California, Oregon, Utah, and Kansas Emigrants the nearest and t best crossing on the river, Our old friend at Iatan, also offers great inducements at his Ferry, to Kansas Emigrants, and we can say " from experience, that he can cross the , river whenever any boats can. !( frST We issue a few more papers this week than our regular edition, and send them to persons who ought to become sub scribers. Those of our friends who may receive them, who do not' wish to aid in carrying on the "good work"" of making Kansas a Slave' State, Will have their names erased by returning the paper, with their names and address upon it.' , As it is necessary that the Pro-Slavery interests in this part of the Territory should be looked after, it is to be hoped that all who feel friendly to the cause, will, patron ize us. - i California Poetry. We always find at least one "gem of purest ray serene" in the California papers. A Mr: Allen Lee Bours, in an original poem lately de livered before the Stockton Library Asso ciation, thus "lets himself out," after de live ring: a severe cast igajtion to naughty boys for disrespect to their parents: . "Indeed, my friends, far better would it seem, Were you to choose the other great extreme Like one down east, who an umbrella took; And from the rain gave shelter to a duck; Who to a limping dog once lent his arm, , -And passing a setting hen said, don't rise ma'am. Nor e'en to lifeless things'respect did lack, Said always to a chair, 'excuse my back. , Excuse my curiosity, he said to books, , And to th$ looking glass, 'excuse my looks. ' ' MISCHIEF-MAKERS.";- O, could there, in this world be found ,- Rome little spot of happy ground, Whore village pleasures might go round Without the village tattling 1 ; . How doubly blest that place would be,i . Where all might dwell in liberty, Free from the bitter misery ! l ; Of gossip's endless prating. ' , . Tiie Vashington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says: ' ' ' !i ; ' ; ; "The Sandwich Islands will be annexed after all, and, as I verily believe, without a protest cither from England or France. The maritime equilibrium of .the world, re quires that we should hold the Sandwich Islands, while' the: interests of commerce and civilization Avill best ' be promoted -by our possession .of those islands.. .1 'r " : . . . ! rr '.t ',(-- fu , Of Anaericans some pne .says : "We are a great people indeed.

They go at once to the great points iuvohi ed in this vital question; and the fanatiefs of the free States and those States them!- selves are told, in solemn and emphatifc terms, that North Carolina will resist any further encroachments on her constitutional rights, let the consequences be what thejp may."
