Dr. E. W. Brown, Occulist,
Ms RESPECTFULLY tenders hi3 pro
f essional services to the citizens 01
upper Missouri and the Kansas ler-
ritorv. Having carried on an Lye inhrmary
for several years past in Platte city, Mo., 'and
having treated a large number of patients with
almost every description or aiseasea xiyes, lie
flatters himself that he will be able to give satis
faction to all who may desire his services. His
infirmary buildings are large and fitted up so
that patients are not only well accomodated but
under his immediate care.- The" cost of being
cured at his establishment is compararaGvely
small when traveling and other expences to St.
Loui3 or anyother distant point are considered.
Persons having children laboring under longcon
continued scrofulous disease of the Eyes are most
positively assured that they can get them cured
at his infirmary. Dr. Brown would, also, most
respectfully invite the attention of the med
ical profession tnrougnouc cne country to nis es
tablishment, and if cases of diseased Eyes should
spring up in their practice that can only be trea
ted successfully at an eve infirmnaryhe would be
much pleased to have them recommended or sent
to his. If any further information is wanted,
call on Capt. Eastin, or W. -H. Adams, at ; the

buildings ot ail descriptions ana every graue at

promptness in the execution or worx, to merit a
liberal share of patronage. He has made arrange

"Subscribers to the Herald continue
to pour in upon us, and the cry is still they
come, On the day of the election we had
quite an accession to our already large and
increasing circulation. We ask bur friends
every -where to act as agents in procureing
subscribers. Gift us a lift now in the days
of our begining, and when we get further
advanced we will not forget them.
Westoit Reporter. -We learn since
our last issue, that this paper has not chang
ed hands, as we announced in our previous
issue but is still conducted by the gentle
manly proprietors, Messrs. Finch &Q'Gor-
man. We made the statement upon what
we deemed reliable authority, but it seems,
it was only a rumor.
The PnoctAMATioir. Notwithstanding
the Governor had three hundred- pamphlet
copies of his Proclamation printed, besides
having it published in the Herald, and sent
copies by special messengers to each of the
Districts in the Territory of Kansas, we
learn there was an additional number print
ed by some of his friends, so great was the
demand to see it. This may be consider
ed a compliment to the Governor, whether
intended or not. The demand upon our
office for the Herald containing the Procla
mation, was so great we could notsupply
the demand, though we printed an extra
numbed of copies. We learn " there were
some Districts made after the issuing of the
Proclamation by the Governor, and it may
have been to supply those Districts, that
those extra copies were printed by the Gov
ernor's friends. Of this however, we are
not advised.
The Weather and River. The weath
er continues mild and pleasant for the
season. We have cold frosty mornings,
with pleasant sunshine through the day.
The river continues open, but is very low,
Boats ciMtfinue to run as high as Weston,
about eight miles above this place. Some
two or three Boats are still expected up,
but we presume they will be about the last
this season. About the first ol next
March, we may again look for Boats this
higH up, perhaps a little earlier
gST'Thanks to friend Finch of the Wesf
ton Reporter, for several late papers of his
exchange; "i ' '
JSTWe understand a petition was in
circulation yesterday, obtaining signatures,
setting forth reas'ons for contesting the elec
tion. It was not presented to us, and there
fore we are not Snthe secret, as to ' what it
contains. But one thins: is certain it must
prove an abortion, for Gen- Whitfield will
be elected by such a large overwhelming
majority, the contestants will be ashamed to
nresent the 'petition. Besides how are
they going to contest this poll, the tickets
were not numbered, and it is impossible
now to ascertain how each man voted.
Better let it alone gentlemen, and rest sat-
isfied with the decision made at the election.
Premium. A copy of the Herald for
one year will be given for the-best. New

4 In a Geographioal point of view, the po
sition of Kansas could not possibly be bet
tered, Lying on the Missouri River and
extending back to the mountains, it embra
ces an expanse of country, which will com
pete, with any, in fertility ofsoiL -Traversed
by highways, which lead to the ex
treme Frontiers, and thence to the Pacific
States, some point within her limits, is des

The scarcity of timber in some parts of
the Territory, will be a serious drawback to
the farming interest; consisting principally
of prairie land, the whole country is subject
to an annual conflagration, which either
destroys or checks the growth of young
timber; but in the course of time, when the
country is settled, and as a natural conse
quence, the rank grass of the prairie will
be cut off by the cattle, and then the tim
ber will be unchecked in -its growth, and
there. is no cause why it should not flourish
in this country as well as others. .For
grazing purposes, Kansas is peculiarly adap
ted; and will no doubt soon rival its neigh
bor across the river, in this line.
With such facilities as these, when the
tide of emigration is at its height, Kansas
will surely advance with lightning speed to
a position of wealth, and power.
It is but a few years since the Indian
roamed, undisputed, over this vast expanse,
of territory. But the fiat of civilization
has gone forth, and mark the change. Un
der the influence of this mighty power,
towns, and cities will spring up, and the rank
gras3 of the prarie will give place to fields of
waving grain, and this wilderness will be
populated by a mighty, and enterprising
people. And Kansas wilT enter into the
JJnionwithher sister States, an honor . to
herself, and to" the world.
Fusionists. There has btn A fusion
of a portion of all part ies at the .North, of
those opposed to the principles of the Kan
sas bill , to carry the elections. That bill
simply gives to the people inhabiting the
Territory, the right to mould and form their
own institutions. It is against this princi-.
pie, be it remembered, "that: the fusion par
ty at the north are warring. - They want to
take from the sovereign people ,the right to
manage and control their own affairs. It
was to secure this privilege, that our fathers
of the Revolution, and in the year of 1812,
shed their blood freely, and shall we as
worthy sons of worthy sires, prove ungrate
ful and recreant to the blessings and privi
leges guarantied to, us, by .surrendering
our rights into the hands of a party or set
of men, who are keeping up an eternal ag
itation of a question that does not effect
them ! The people of Kansas . are capable
of deterniining whether it is to their ad
vantage to have this a slave State or not,
without dictation from fanatics, and those
who seek to force upon us institutions con
trary to our will. The people are capable
of self government, and will setde the ques
tion of slavery for themselves. Why then
should the fusionists at the north raise such
aliue, and cry about the people of the Ter
ritories having the largest liberties ! They
are for curtailing them in their liberties and
agitating a question that does not properly
concern .them. , . - .

y On Weidnes: !iy last the sovereign people
of, Kansas. Territory exercised the high
piivilegeof the elective franchise It was'
the first election'ever held in the Territory,
and was Yc'aPelegate to Congress. . As
was to be expected, it was a great day for a
new country, but now that the smoke of
battle is cleaf ed-away ; we can survey : the
field and count the cost T; r " c
I , Early in. the morning the people began
to collect, and soon our -streets .were rilled.
It' is - estimated by many that there1-were" at
least six or seven hundred persons present.
Of that number were many of our neighbors
from across the river, ,who felt a deep in
terest in the result of the election,- and tho'
some of them may have voted, yet there
must have been at least 200 who did not
vote as evidenced by thapoll book, for there
were only about three hundred votes polled.
Considerable excitement existed,.' as wai
toi be expected at this the first election in
the Tjeftitbry,'- and a great anxiety mani
fested to have the polls opened at an early
hour, ..The preliminaries being settled af
ter some objections were rged as to the
eligibility of one of the Judges, and supply
ing .the" 'place of . one who had resigned,
the polls were opened at 10 o'clock, and
there '.was a general rush for the window
where the votes were received. The crowd
soon became restless at the slow process of
taking votes, the Judges having to examine
many , as to their residence and qualifica
tions, and the. excitement. at times waxed
warmer and warmer. But "never faltering
or growing weary, the crowd continued to
press forward, and never- until the going
down of the sun, did they cease their efforts.
If Bingham had been here he could have
obtained a sketch that would far have ex
ceeded his celebrated drawing of the "Coun
ty Election." It was one general push
along, keep voting, with an occasional out
burst of feeling for their favorite candidate.
While in the distance might be seen some
one mounted on a rock or log, delivering a
harrangue at the top of his voice, and an
other on horseback crying vote boys, vote,
and another, now's the day and now's the
hour. All this while the crowd is pushing
forward, and some one having to give back
and determining to get his vote in, ties his
ticket to a rock, and gives it all the force he
has, casts it in at the window -crying out
I belong to the Hards.
Take the election altogether ft passed off
as quietly as could be expected, without any
fighting. j
The election principally turned upon one
issue slavery and anti-slavery. It could
not be kept out of the canvass whig and
democrat was lost sight of, and that ques
tion absorbed all others. Gen. Whitfield
was supported as the pro-slavery candidate,
while Mr. Flenneken received the votes of
the anti-slavery party. We presume every
man who is in favor of making Kansas a
free State, voted for Mr. Flenneken, and
the number is 82 all told. And if we are
to believe what was given out before the
election, he received the support of some of
both sides 'without reference to this issue.
If this is the case then it would reduce the
number of anti-slavery votes.
This election is claimed as a great triumph
for the pro-slavery influence. And though
the Delegate elect may have nothing to do
directly with this question, yet the election
of Gen. Whitfield, will have considerable
influence abroad in determining a large
number of persons from slaveholding States,
to emigrate to this Territory. ' We. hope it
may have this effect, for it will help to swell
our population.
The vote given at three districts, one of
them being very small, averages 239.
Some of the districts yet to hear, from, the
vote will exceed five hundred. If the eigh
teen Districts average 222 votes, it - will
make an aggregate of four thousand votes,
calculating five souls to each voter, which
is a low estimate, it will give a population
of twenty thousand inhabitants. Just think
of it, only four months since a country only
inhabited by a few traders and the Indians-,
now containing a population of twenty thou
sand. And this too, has been brought
about at a season of the year, when proviso
ions are scarce and very high, and winter
approaching so as to deter thousands from
moving. What may we reasonably expect
next season? In twelve months from this ...
time Kansas will have a population of one
hundred thousand, and will be knocking at
the door of Congress for admission into the
Union, as one of the sovereign independent
States. v '
