In assuming he editorial control
el a
ncvsp?per, ii becomes the duty of the cdit
lor to lay before fais readers, the position
he will, occupy as apubiic'jouraalist.
Our 'position can be easily defined
"We propose t publish an Independent
7iwspaper. independent of all 'parties and
.cliques, devoted to the advancement of
the interests of Is ortlferu ICanss. In oe
eupying the position of a party journal, we
re subject Jo the most bitter execrations
and vituperative denunciations ; and occu
pying the position of an independent jour
nalist, draws upon us the censure of all po
litical organizations.
We take this position, believing that in
the present crisis cF our National affairs,
parties jiust be discardednd true, tried
men plated in power,
Tv'e v. ill. so far as our mail privileges
aamit, furnish to our readers all the
.principal movements of the armies &c.
Pn conclusion, we would say we are de
sirous to see the grand armies of ths Un
ion, triumph in every quarter. If it takes
half the population of the great North to
crush, this rebellion, give it freely.
Wfey Is America engaged in TTarl
x At the unnatural struggle that is going
, qn now between the sections of our coun
, try, the Old World loots on with wonder.
We believe now that ilia a war of sections
: the South against the North. We be
lieve, the South has by her arrogance and
.dictatorial spirit, brought about this war
and miisfr'abidcthe consequences.
TiSitrue", that great consequences must
follow. When the light of peace breaks
jover our whole land again, it will find he
South destitute of her slaves, and the head
of fanaticism crushed in the North.
We are now the only Republican gov
ernment that exists, and we do not exist
wthout a stain upon us. Not on! ths
-enslavement of the black race, but what is
far more degrading, the enslaving of the
whites, exists in the Southern States, to a
pertain degree.
Wk are fighting it liberate the latter
.class. You ask, how are they enslaved?
-The apportionment laws, allowing the
-slaves representation, we answer. Read
er, did you know that in most of the cot
fon States, (if not in all of them,) the
citiZQm must own so many hundred dolbrs
before he cour&he entitled to the privile
ge of the citizen at the ballct-bos. Such
' has been the tyrannical rule, and such this
war will break. We are fighting to purge
our land of traitors, and tyrany's rule. We
are fighting to embolden our enslaved
whjt people of the South, and give them
a chance for their liberty. Then fieeman
strike while the iron is hot, strike now or
never, strike while the day is your own or
aorever submit to the -degrading chains
k which now enthrall you, nd let ihe hills
and valleys of ths Sunny South resound
TWith the welkin that you are free.

A DoI3ar that Pays "Well.
One of the best seasonable enterprises,
now before the public, is that of the Pub
lisher of the American Agriculturist. He
has secured for his subscribers iine coiorad
editions ol two splendid Slaps cf localities
of great interest. One -of these covering
more than ten square fest, shows the
entire State of Virginia so completely that.
every .county, tvn, chy, village, river,
bxook, mountain, hill and the movements
' of the armies are re.idilj traced. It also
embraces Maryland, and part of Pennsyl
vania. The .other Map, covering about
15 sqoare feet, gives alUhe Southern or
Slaves States, mciuding Missouri, Ken-
itucUy Virginia, Maryland and Deleware.
Though not so minute as the Map of Vir
ginia, ihiahows-all the counties. pricipal
.lowufe, rivers, etc, p the Southern States. 1
Any person subscribing now fr the Agri
Jculturist, at($l a ypar,) is presented with
a choice cf the above two Maps, -sent lpost
juid. In addition to this, every new sub-
j-criher receives the Agriculturist, not only
for all of nest year, (Vol. 52 complete.) j
-but alsfjiir .the rest otthis,year, for one
dollar. We have long recevied tho Ameri
can Agricultarist, and can testify to its
j-paJ merits. Evry number is well illiis-
rald, and contains a verlarge amount
of really useful, practical, reliable infor
mation for the Farm, the Garden, and the
Household, including a very interesting
department for the little ones. " No one can
fail to gpt many dtllars worth of useful in.
formation and .hints from a volume of the
Agriculturist, while the maps given just
now are so much extra. We nave sent
for two copies of the paper so as ts gel both
maps. Send a dollar for the paper on our
recommendation, or if you prefer, send a
dime for single copy and examine it for
yourself. The address of the Publisher is

In the county ticket, it will be seen that
the independent candidate for Represen
tative, Jacob Weisbach received 17 ma
jority. Eft,We noticed in a Mo. exchange the
following :
"Polished society in Kansas consists of
State bond swindlers, jaynawkers, and
murderers."
You ought to send over some missiona
ries, and civilize us, traitors, btidgeburn
crs, and butternut-chivalry.
Tns Election. The election returns
shows a heavy majority, in the counties of
Marshal! and Tfashington, in favor of
the Toneka neminees. The election of
State Senator, was unanimous. Mr. Ba
ker from Marshall Cc.,uas the eandidate
and is iu favor of the Henderson amend
ment to the Pacific Pi. U, Bill.
The counties of Riley Marshall and
Washington are united for Legislative
purposes.
rSol. Miller is one of the Republican
candidate? for Senator from Doniphan
county. He will be elected, and will be a
useful member, though his head is wrong
on the Henderson ameudmen question. He
will have the good sense to drop that sub
ject, though. Topel-a Record.
The Record seems to have a poor appre
ciation of Mr. Miller's honesty.

immense amoant of propertv in this coun

much credit for its activity heretofore, i3
doing good service in driving out the inva

been stationed at Paola, while these in
roads have been made, apparently unable
toredBEthem. Maj. Gen. Blood, of the
Southern Division State Militia, has been
appealed to for assistance in several cases,
and the settlers have resolved to leave the
ceuntry unless something's done at once.
Give Capt. Ellis arms and norses sufficient
and we will trust" the whole border to him.
We knsw the man. One company under

Right, Mr. Journal. If he is no better
than, Col. Traitor Buell of Indepen
dence Mo., notoriety, we don't think he is
much. Give him a chance.
SSfThe last mail we received wag on
Sunday, the 2d of November. Truly we
are in a benighted region. The contract
however, for furnishing us mails tri-week-ly,
is let, and we hope soon to be able to
furnish our readers, with something else
more interesting than mere local news.
