The terms aie made easy to secure The rapid improvement of the land,, which is only sold for aetual improvement. The result has been, that within the past year, some three hundred ho" es have been erected, two mi'.is, one steam, lour stores, some fogty vinyards and peach orchards, planted, and a arge number of other improvements, making it a le'irable and active place of business.

Jin .Ibalitiontst paper shown him up as a Cold- j blooded Jlssassin —Curious Facts about a j League of Blood, and about the Harper's Fcr- j itj Conspiracy. [From Lawrence (K.) Herald of Freedom, Oct. ?<>.] ' The first th'tig tlie people of Kansas Heard o! ! old John, Brown, was in the summer of 1855. A meeting of ultra Abolitionists was held at Cazenovia, N. Y., it we recollect rightly.— While in session, Brown, WHO is a native ot Essex county, N. Y., appeared in that conven tion, and made a very fiery speech, during which he said he Had tour sons in Kansas, and he had three others who were desirous of going there, to aid in fighting the battles of freedom. He could not consent to go, unless he could go armed, and he would like to ann all his sons', but lie was not able to do so. Funds were contributed on the spot, principally by Cerrit Smith. The four sons had located on Pottawatomie creek, in Lykins county, and in the tall ot 1855 were joined by the lather and other broth ers. When the Wakarusa war was pending, the old man and four sons arrived in Lawrence, the balance he reported sick. As thev drove up in front of the Free State Hotel, they were all standing in a small lumber wagon. To each ot their persons was strapped a short heavy broadsword. Each was supplied with a goodly number of firearms and navy revolvers, arid poles were standing endwise around the wagon box with fixed bayonets pointing upwards.— They looked really formidable, and were re ceived with great eclat. A small military com pany was organized at once, and the command was* ry parly. It was not until the 30lh of August, three months after lire Pottawatomie massacre, that the attack was made on the Ossawatomie bv 'h<* pro-slavery forces, ami Frederick Brown, a son of old John, was killed. The truth of history requires this statement. 1! Brown was a monomaniac, ft date 3 back an terior to his first visit to Kansas. [From the Lawrence (Kansas) Herald of Freedom of Oct. '.lib] More than once during the summer of 1857, w-> asserted that the reason the ''Do-Nothings" a's we railed them, were opposed to engaging in the Territorial election of that year, and competing with the pro-slavery party lor the offices of the government, was Joiin I in the fact that ihey wished to prolong our Kansas dif ficulties—to keep the Ternto r y in a constant {•■rment ; that their design was revolution, and anvthing which looked like a peaceful solution ol our troubles had been and would he vioietil- Iv opposed by them. We stated that those who led off in the do nothing policy had no material interest in Kansas in common with the settlers—that they were "birds ot passage," come here like buzzards to leed on dead carcas ses. and as soon as Hip period should come when there wa< nothing left tor them to feast upon they would leave the Territory. We charged s"nt here from the charitable in rne r. i-. ™ supply the wants ot the destitute and suffering. These men had charge, generally, ot the ave nues to pu die opinion. drey were the correspondents of Eastern newspapers and ol journals at hom-. The country was continu ally flooded with their falsehoods, and eturts were constantly made to convey the idea that those who were in favor of settling our troubles qnietly, and without a resort to oloodsiied, were cowards, or "had sold out to the jr '-slavery party." Anl who were those men in the I er ritnry at that time? We remember meeting a delegation of them at Centropolts in August o ■ that year. There were Walden ami inalcner, ' li.nlpit and Joan E. Cook, Holmes and kagi, we believe, Pinilips and Redpath, Hintou and : Conway. The Lecompton Constitution itself was next ; made the pretext for bunging on war. Who ever is able to call up the incidents ot the 22d i an i 2 M of December Convention, held in Law* I rence, will be able to comprehend that to which [we allude. "Brown's Cellar Kitchen Convent ; Hon," as Thacher and'his associates branded tin I affair, foiled thern in their plans; but then cami j on the difficulties at Fort Scott, inaugurated bj ! the leaders in all these revolutionary move* ments, and backed up by Jim Lane, Old John Brown, Red path, Phillips and all that class ol persons. Then was organized the secret oath* bound league, the object of which was to mur\ der, in cold blood, every officer elected under the \ Lecompton Constitution, Oe he free state man or I otherwise. The password to that secret organ ization wis Lane. The whole plan ol assassi nation, of relays of horses for the executioners, &c., are in the possessien of good men :n Law rence, and have been for a long period. But there was a peaceful adjustment of all these matters, because Congress did not give legal sanction to the Lecompton Constitution, j Old John Brown, with his minions, who opened the bloody issue in Kansas by murder ' ing the five heads ol families on Pottawatomie • creek, at midnight, on the 25th of May, 1856, ] appeared and look charge of the marauding for j cos. They attempted to make the whole pop , i ulation ol Missouri responsible for tne horrid • murder near Chateau's Trading Post. Brown I was in constant intercourse with men in the East, viho declared on the stump, and in all | their published correspondence, that their uon ; ly hope of abolishing slavery in the United i j Slates lay through revolution and from them i lie received funds from time to time in prose cuting his war schemes. When Montgomery discovered Brown &. Co.'s plans of revolution, to his credit be it said, he protested, and in con sequence of their quarrel, probably more than anything else, the latter made a brilliant coup d'etat into Missouri, killed Crew, took bis slaves , and made a forced inarch iuto Canada, receiv > ingany amount of "aid and comfort" from his j cohorts along the route. ; ; with cuts" said the urchin, (j as he drew his jack-knife across the leaves of , his grammar. i "Illustrated with cuts," said the master as he i brought his birch to bear upon the shoulder of • the witty nrchin.

One of (he most gratifying political results that it fins been our pleasure to record, is tliaf, notwithstaading trie disfranchisment of the city of Baltimore by Know Nothing rowdies, and notwithstanding the theft of ten members of the House ol Delegates and a Senator in that city, their party has been badly defeated in the State! Ihe honest voters in the interior, at pure and hee ballot boxes, which were untainted by fraud or violence, have come gallantly to the rescue, anil returned to the Senate and House so many Democratic members, that the fraudu lent members of Baltimore are literally over whelmed, and THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A MAJOR ITY IS EACH HRANCH OF THE LEGISLATURE, which gives them A DEMOCRATIC UNITED SfA rivS SENATOR, and power to pass such wholesome laws, and so to provide for their execution, as to preclude, fbiever hereafter, all likelihood of the|recurrence of scenes like those, which, on Wednesday last, so disgraced that fair citv.

We may now look for a fair ballot-box in the i city of Baltimore—we may look for the return j of the ruffians now in power theie to their ap- j propriate kennels—and with a fair and honest j vote DEMOCRACY WILL SWEEP THE STATE IN I 1800. i (TF-The Baltimore Jlmerican I ( which, it will be seen, does not conceal its anti-Democratic proclivities.) thus remarks upon the result: TIW. RESULT 7N THE STATE. The victory achieved HI this city, through fraud and violence, by the American party has turned to ashes in their grasp. At most ; they have secured but a lew local offices that can in no wav compensate for the opprobrium . incurred in the gaining of them. In the State ! at large they are utterlv defeated, and will no doubt have to pay the penally ofTheir misdeeds. Their opponents have a substantial working majority in both branches of the Legislature, a majority upon joint ballot which settles the question of the IT. S. Seiiatorship, and will, most certainly, we presume, determine the re jection of both the Senator and Delegates tor whom a majority of votes were returned at the election in tins city on Wednesday last. So quick a following ol retribution upon the crime which excited it, has a lesson that even poii should heed, affairs as firm and unchanged as ev-r, we nno ouiselves, with thousands of our fellow citi zens ut anti-Democratic proclivities, regarding with ?. deep and earnest interest this sweeping Democratic triumph. It opens the only possi ble door of escape trom the yearly repetition ot the scenes of Wednesday. *he citizens ol Bal timore will look to the Legislature lor the juJi- ' cious but firm exercise of its legitimate powers j in their behalf. They will look to 't lor a Re- j gistry Law which will prevent illegal voting; j for the division of tiie Wards into convenient j voting precincts so as to reduce the opportuni- , ties for violence; for the suppression of the • great engine ot moral and political corruption, | the lottery system; and especially they will iook j to it for such a re-organizatiou ol the police j system as will relieve us from the present force, i so utterly partizanised as to be beyond regener- I at ion, and render it hereafter as far as possible free from political control. The appointment of the force should not depend upon the will of a partisan Mayor, nor their tenure in office be put up at lottery at every election. Once se lected and proved capable, fearless, and impar tial experience should give value fo their ser vices, and their l ight to the offices so long as its ( duties are well performed, be piotected from all the contingencies of parly tritunpbs or de feats. This is the especial and great need which our city has, in order to re-establish the supre macy of the law, to again open the ballot-box to its disfranchised voters, to wipe cut the slains of dishonor that now rests upon its good name. We trust to the Legislature to satisfy this need justly and fairly, not in a spirit of parly ven geance, but with a view to the establishment of tuch a system as when once tested will secure iy its good results its own permanence. SENATOR BRODERICK'S DEATH. The Opposition are endeavoring to make po- I'.ical capital out of Broderick's death they vould convert his coffin into an electioneering fatlorm and act the partisan upon his grave, lit their crocodile tears will deceive no one. I§3 well known that Broderick's disaffection trvards the President was not on account of Knsas, or anything pertaining to Kansas ; but beause fhe President made such appointments inCalifomia as he felt it his duty to make, con trfv to Broderick's recommendations. Sena toiGwin avowed his determination not to in teiere in the appointments, by the general gov erment, foi California : and, in consequence >f his avowal, Broderick advocated Gwin's re del inn to the Senate, supposing that, after ; hue events, he could use the whole patronage f be United States in California to rewaid i jispersonal adherents. President Buchanan lirlnot consent to dispose of this patronage to nystipulation between two Senators, and his I ary appointments were so displeasing to Sen lot Broderick that he openly denounced the : ffeiident and swore "that he would never cross te threshold of the White House, except to the ] IntTal ol the inmate." This was long before i te Lecompton question atose, which gave a < Jetrnce of principle to a violent opposition to ; V administration, which had less elevated and ! i Ore personal motives. i The manner in winch he conducted th can vass, in the recent election in California, show ed how much personal hatred dominated over principle. His personalities, his violence, his browbeating were of the grossest kind, caliniir forth resjlonses of the like character ; but lea ving on him the imputation of being toe aggres sor. He invited the challenge from Judge Terry by plainly intimating, when he relused to met-t Terry's friend, that he would meet the Judge nimself after the election, and at the same time denouncing Terry in the severest terms, saying he ought to have b<-en hung, &.c. In the canvass even the .V. 1' livening Post (an Opposition journal) admits, 'die forgot his dignity, and (ell into the lowest and bitterest jiersonal controversies. He denounced his op ponents i;i the most vituperative terms, as spec ulators, Jplut:drers and liars." After this, to say that he tell a martyr to his political prin ciples, is the cant of partisan* hypocrisy which the honesty of his own lips would rebuke, could they speak. Tiie truth is, the Opposition found him a disaffected man, and they urged him in to the extreme and mad career which has so sadly terminated, to answer their own purpo ses, rpgarrfless of the consequences to himself, and now would profit bj' the death they hasten ed— Boston Post.

We do fiat understand the J\lew York Times fo be an apologist for his connection with the Ferry affair, but we fail entirely to azree with it that ti- is entitled to praise for postponing the movement "for eighteen months.' What would the Times say of the conduct of a man who was fully informed that a plot existed for robbing its counting-room, but who, instead of promptly putting the proprietors on tiieir guard and exposing the villainous scheme, should simply say to lli" burglars, that tie "ought not, in his position, to have been fold" of it, or pos sibly bv gently reproving them, induce Ibem to postpone the act for a longer or shorter period? Would the Times give tiie man, who thus tri lled with crime, credit for stopping the move ment the mcment he Heard of it ? This is precisely Air. Seward's position. He ihd know of Brown's plans. He dare not ien v, over his own name, that he knew of them. Forbes, when he said that "he went fully into the matter" with Seward, meant to be under stood that he told him of the plans of Drown for an attack upon Harper's Ferry. He did till him of those plans ; and Seward replied thaj "in his position he ought not to have been told." These are fuels xr'iiclt .Mr. Seward will not de ry. and which must render his conduct odious What did sewarn GO to pirrm mc at ion of the base plot? What steps did he take to stop it' Suppose we adopt the charitable con clusion oi the Times, that lie "warded it off'for nearly two years;" does that help the matter? In our estimation it only makes it worse. Du ring this long period tie lias been dallying with prospective crime, and hobnobing with pros pective crimnals, when a word fitly spoken would have sent them cringing into obscurity. If Mr. Seward's friends want more light on this subject: if they want a clearer statement than Col. Forbes has furnished, in his publish ed letters, let them call on that gentleman for all the facts. Forbes is no myth, but real flesh and Mood; and they can learn Irom him quite as much as they will care to know. And a mong other things they can learn from his own lips, as we have done, the facts which we have stated, viz :—that he did tell Seward fully about Brown's proposition to niuke an attack upon Harper's Ferry.

A few days ago, 1 stood in thp office of a p. - riortical, the editor of which always feels the public pulse before he decides on publishing • anv article, when a gentleman entered, and a j conversation ensued, which I give word for word with the exception of names : The editor was examining a proof of a wood- i cut—said cut being a representation ot I >ur j white men being flayed alive by Indians— which was to appear in the next number, when the stranger thus addressed him : "Are you, sir, the editor of the Trngitil ob~ j server ?" The four white men and the Indians were pushed into a pigeon hole. The stranger was stared at through a pair of spectacles, the runs of which looked like the mouths of cannons, and the eyes behind them like balls about to be fired ; he saw the cannon balls roll fiercely for i moment, and then heard a sepulchral voice tVSIOI.B: M Htll.i,, •iy>r, ' I have the honor to occupy th%% , tion."

J'he mouths of the cannons were pointed straight at the stranger, and the balls rolled , very wildly, as the ediior replied somewhat in I the tone which Mr. Native i'alpnt uses when |he says, "tha/ handkerchief, that handkerchief,' "Weil sir, what can you do in the "sensation line "I do not wish," said the stranger, "to write in that line, f want to prepare a series of sci entific articles." Ihe mouths ot the cannons were turned a way in disgust, as though the stranger was not worth shouting at, and were pojnted once more at the four while men and the Indians, which the editor pulled out Of the pigeon hole,and re marked : "No use sir, no use. The public don't want then)—no taste fjr them." "But," continued the stranger, "would not such articles raise the character ot your pa i P er ■ ' "Yes," replied he, "and sink mv receipts.
