Sir, your note asking my opinion, as a Democrat and as a citizen and friend of Kansas, in relation to the Senate bill, entitled: "A bill to authorize the people of the Territory of Kansas to form a 'Consti tution and State Government, &c,' which passed the Senate on the 2 J inst , is to hand. 1. The bill proposes to repeal and amend certain Territorial laws, and to leave others in force, and hence assumes the position that the Lgislative Assembly was valid authority, and affixes the seal of Congressional sanction and approbation upon a body selected by a rule utterly subversive of that government; and in to doing, the Senate bus sanctioned and legalized, as far as it can, the work of an armed mob in open violation of the laws and constitution of the United States, in violating the great fundamental principle upon which rests our whole political fabric, popular sovereignty or self-government. It is not necessary to wcaiy your rea ders by inserting here the proof of this proposidon and 1 shall only refer them to the testimony taken by the Kansas Investigating Committee reported to the House of Representatives on the 1st inst. In this report the above allegation is proven by testimony the most positive and incontrovertible.2. But ray objections to the bill do not stop here; after thus acknowledging the validity of the Territorial Legislature, the bill proceeds to repeal sundry laws and parts . of laws enacted by that body, bj the very done, and the whole subject is open to s'ngular process of reenacting certain im-! Congress, the wrongs of the people may portant provisions of the Constitution of be redressed, their constitutional rights re-the United Stales (See bill, sec. 18). It stored, and peace les'.ored to the country also enacts a new election law assuming1 and to the territory, the Constitution itself the power of Congies3, to legislate for thej Territory on the most important subject of, legislation, that of the elective franchise, while it has in the opinion of the Senate, in full vitality, a local Legislature of its own: thus utterly abandoning the whole theory of the Democratic creed in relation stitutions preserved untarnished, the con-to the government; of the Territories; and, fidence of the people in the perpetuity and as a Democrat I must be allowed to enter strength of free government stimulated and my protest against this abandonment of confirmed, and the bonds of Union strength-the faith, particularly in an instance when ened and established upon the rock of eter-that abandonment is made necessary by nal justice; but refuse to do this, and all assuming: a former false hypo'.hesis, 3. The bill further provides for the elec tion and organization of a convention "to form a constitution and State government," and, without submitting the constitution rcctly to the reverse of all these desirable thus formed to vote of the people or (ulure results, and therefore, finally as a Demo-action ot Congress, admits the State into crat, a citizen and friend of Kansas, one Union," and makes the action of that j who loves the Union and the harmony and convention a finality, and denies to the peace of all sections of the country,! must people the invaluable privilege of acting f .i : :.i;. ,:. i. .l in mcir pilllliwj nuu luuinuuni jaya,.y upon the orgnn'o law of the land, "a right invaluable to them and only formidable oiily lo tyrants." 4, To give to a Board of Commissioners, appointed by the President, the power to determino who shall vote for dole-crates to a Convention, and to be tho sole Judges of Election and qualifications of said delegates, ana to make me action oi that Convention final, in a matter so important as the formation of a Constitntion and State Government, is to erect a power dangerous to popular rights, a power irresponsible to the people a despotism; and assuming the power of Corgress to do that for which there is no warrant in the Constitution, and which is subversive of the great principles of popular government. 6. One effect of refusing to tubmit the Consiitution to a vote of the people would be to obviate the necessity of returning in the Territory a large body of men during the Winter in order to vote on the Constitution, in the Spring, as it would be impossible to frame a Constitution, publish it and give the people time todiscuss its provisions, in order to give an intelligent vote upon i's rniificalion, before, probably, the 1st of March. I am aware that it would be exceedingly Inconvenient to the people to slay in our territory during the Winter without houses, and that houses and provisions are very expensive things ; nevertheless as a citizen of Kansas I cannot consent that they should be allowed to finish their woik by 4th of November and return to their homes, leaving the peoplo to enjoy (?) a government established . against their own will and wishes ; and hence, as a citizen and friend of Kansas, must most solemnly protest against this feature of the bill. r 6. The bill further provides thai the ra- tio of renrcBentalion and the apportionment of delegates bhall be determined by the number of voters and not the number of inhabitants in the Territory and the respective districts ; thus giving to the mcro adventurer, the "soldier of fortune" upon the border.the same representative strength with the regular citizen pcrmanent'y located with his wife and family of five or ten minor children. Tile injustice of this provision is too glaring to need comment, and its object too plain to be misunderstood. 7. The enumeration of voters is fixed at a time when many of our citizens have been driven from their homes nndthe Territory, and when an armed mob, unrc-buked by Government, has blockaded all the avenues to the country, not only preventing the return of the few who might be able and who might fetl an inclination to return from doing so, but robbing and driving back all new emigrants from the Free States who are seeking homes in the Territory. Thus forcing upoa the people a finality at a most inauspicious time, and proposing to establish the institutions of a Stale whi n the country is under the government of an armed and irrepponsihl mob. What a mockery of popular rights! And what a fraud upon a people who were induced to emigrate to the Territory under a pledge from the Government that they should be left "perfectly free to establish their own institutions." 8. In addition to this, the bill, ns far as' it is intended "to nulhoriza the people of the Territory of Kansas to for a Consti tution and State Government," is gratuitous. We contend as Democrats, that we have authority whenever a majority of the people may so determine to call a Convention, form a Constitution and State Government, and to apply for admission into the Union as a Free and sovereign State. We hold that the people are better judges of when this shall be done, than Corgresr can be, and that to judge of, and to do this is one of the rights expressly reserved to ihe people by the Constitution of the United States, and therefore, we have not asked of Congress an authority that expressly belongs to us under the Consiitution; but what we do ask is, that Congress should fulfill all the requirements of the Constitution and extend over us the protecting hand of the National Government. We ask of Congress no impossibilities nor unconstitutional intermeddling wilh our domestic affairs. Congress cannot 'give us back ovr dead," but it can wipe out a legislative government establish-el by fraud and violence, and institute another that shall reflect the will of the people. It can refund to our people all the losses and damages that they have sustained by reason of this fraud, and re store and secure to them what is more val ubable than gold, and sweeter thnn life, thefree enjoyment of all their political rights as American citizens. We ask a nation's disapprobation of a fraud unparalleled in the history of our country: let the nation wash ber hands of the disgraceful act, and let the history of it go down to posterity with a nation's condemnation indelibly engraven upon its forehead. Let Congress in the place of repealing certain laws of the Territorial Legislature, because of their inherent defects, set them all aside because of the inherent defects in the power that made them. Let this be vindicated, the theory of non-mteference saved. The great principles of popular sovereignty and suit-government re-estab- lisncd, an unmitigated fraud upon the sacred ballot-box branded with marked disapprobation, the character of our free in- these propositions are reversed If the bill was designed to effect these objects it will most certainly fail of its pur- pose, but on the other hand tend most di most earnestly protest against its passage into a law. Very truly fcc , W. Y. ROBERTS, "Our Badt" Their Babt, wk mean Those of our readers who have but one responsibility," will feel the extreme beauty of the following little waif : "At our house, at home we've a sweet littlo baby, As fat as a coon in the fall ; And for misliief, fun, music, orwhatevcr it may be, Of brats, he's the general of all. With cheeks like two roses, Tho prettiest of noses, Endeared is our Moses, By every fond tie j In fair and loul weather, To bind us together Jly Betsy and I." For our part, we think wilh Tupper, that "a brat in the house is a well spring of everlasting troublo." The concluding paragraph of the above must be the sole production of an inveterate, incurable, unhappy old bachelor. Salaries of Canadian Officials. The Governor gets $31,000, his house rent and servant hire. The ten Ministers get each 86,000, $G a day during the session of Parliament, and "immense patron age." The Engineer of the Grand Trunk Railway has a salary of 9 13,000. Sir Cu-sao Runer, agent for that work, gels the same. Chief Justice Robinson has f 6,-666 per annum, 500 for traveling expenses, and a pension of 94,444 whenever he shall see fit to resign. The Register of Hamilton, Dundns, and Wentworlh, (he is Minister also,) gets 96,500 The Register of Toronto and York gets 912,000. The Governor has a Secretary to whom the Canadians pay 93000 annually for the privilege of quill driving. t MOUNT VERNON, THE WORK GOES BRAVELY ONI We extract tho following from tho Pittsburg Gazette, Tho Hon. Wm. Stnnsbury, Trimblo last year, and Judgo Humphrey, heretofore Democrat, are making speeches for Fremont in Licking county, Ohio. A largo proportion cf the Maine straight Whigs now (to for Fiomont nnd Davton. The Slate of Muino Journal, tho organ of ine wings last year nnd then very bitter townrds tho Republican movement, now follows mnnifest destiny and hoists the flag of the Pathfinder. The Syracuse Journal publishes a call signed by 194 Democrats of Onondaga county, who now repudiate Buchanan, for a convention for consultation nnd action, of such Democrats as cannot swallow the Cincinnati Platform. In Warren county, Pa., tho Democracy of tho townships of Freehold, Columbus, Cory don, Pleasant nnd Sheffield, refused to be represented nt a grand rally to ratify the Cincinnati nominations, on account of their beinu opposed to tho extension of slavery. The North American sn) s these townships contnin one-fourth of the population of the county. The Lowell (Mass.) Courier states that the Protestant Irish of that city, numbering some 300, are taking steps to form a Fiemont Club. New York. Among the many cheering signs fr.nn this S:ate indicative of its sulety for Fremont and Freedom, is that of the hauling down of the Aug of Buchanan nnd the Slave Democracy by that staunch old Democratic organ of Tompkins county, The Ithaca Journal. This event will par-ralyze the Buchaneers of New York in the Southern tier of counties to a large extent. The old Silas Wiight Democrats are fast abandoning the roUen cause. The Welch papor published in New York, and having a large circulation, ably supports Fremont nnd Dayton. The Welsh all favor free labor. The German Republicaner of Cincinnati, a strong Republican and widely circulated journal, has gained more than one thousand subscribers from Indiana since the nomination of Fremont. Hon. Edward A. Lambert, Mayor of the city of Brooklyn, from 1835 to 1854, and for many years a very influential man in the Democratic ranks, has come out for the Fremont ticket. The Angelica (Allegheny county, N. Y.) Reporter, a paper which has stood by the Dimocratio party for twenty years, and which raised the Buchanan flag when he was nominated, has taken down that flarr and come out wilh the name of Fremont and Dayton nt its mast head. At Cumminsville, O., last Saturday there was a Buchanan Meeting. Thirty-nine persons were present, a number of whom were Fremont men. After the organization, eleven Democrats withdrew from the crowd and organized a Fremont club, leaving (he chairman of the meeting to preside over seventeen individuals. At least a million of copies of Senator Sumner's great speech have been printed already in pamphlet form. The printer at Washington has alone issued 225,000 copies.The Hon. W. Maurice, formerly a Democratic member of Congress from the Long Island District in New York, repudiates Buchanan nnd takes the stump for Fremont. Col. Daniel Needham, in 1854, the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Massachusetts, but now a resident of Vermont, was one of the principal speakers at the Republican State Convention recently held at White River Junction. Great Fremont Demonstration in Otsego, N. Y. The Otsego (N. Y.) Herald says 5000 freemen attended the Fremont Ratification meeting at that place. The speaking was continued through afternoon and evening. Among therpeakers was ex-Senator Johnson, of Delhi, an influential Democrat who now goes for Freedom. Hon. S. Miller, a well known and influential Democrat of Delaware, also spoke. A Republican ratification meeting was held at Dubuque, Iowa, on the 25th ult., which is pronounced one of the greatest political demonstrations ever held West of the Mississppi. The Younkcrs, N. Y. Examiner, heretofore an independent journal, has announced its intention to support Col. Fremont for the Presidency. The Rockford (111.,) Democrat, always an Old Lino Democratic paper, has hoisted the names of Fremont and Dayton. The Milwaukie Wisconsin says : The Punuc Sentiment. We had a call yesterday from a Democrat, in one of the towns in this county, who has voted the regular democratic ticket for nineteen years. He goes enthusiastically for John C. Fremont for President. He has five brothers in different parts of the State, all life-long Democrats, who also work for Fremont. Ho remarked (hat the enthusiasm in the county exceeds belief. The people arc awake. Every log cabin hns its advocates for the People's candidate, and their votes in November will show that their enthusiasm is a solid reality. The re-nomination of Gov. Kingsley S. Bingham by the Republicans of Michigan is a good sign. It places the re-election of Cass, or any other slavery extcnsionist, to the United States Senate from that State out of the question. The Detroit Advertiser also notes "the signs" that Michigan will give a clear majority for Fremont and Dayton. In "old Democratic Macomb," the pillars of democracy" are transferred to the Republican side. Dr. Neil Gray, a democrat of steady persistence, State Senator, and an influential cilisen, accepts the appointment of delegate to the Republican Convention. Hon. Calvin Davis joins bis own political associates in the abandonment of the slave driving democracy. John 8owles, Chas. F. Msllory, Henry Stevens, of Macomb co., Henry J. Higgins, of Jackson, and Horace B. Lathrop, of Lapeer, all old democrats, go the same way. Mr. Hecker, the German "patriot," has taken the stump in Illinois, for the Republican ticket. The Belleville Advocate of the. 29th ult., speaks of bim in most enthu OHIO, TUESDAY MORNING, AUG. 5, siastic tcrir.s, as showing acomrtland of tho English langungc, and in readiness not inferior to that of Kossuth, while in German ho carries his auditors in a storm of enthu siasm. Tho Advocate says: "Mr. Hecker is most admirably qualified by nature and art for a great popular speaker. A cultivated German who heard him at Mascou-tah for the first time, pronounced him "the O'Connull of Germany." The comparison does no injustice to the Liberator of ireianu, but rather, if any, to tho Uer-'&," M- Hecker is a man of wealth, cui.fvatcs a Inrgo farm six miles South of Mascouth, 111., and now makes his first appearance on the stau of American politics. iiie ijewis county (iN. .) Kcpuuiican runs up tho Fremont and Daylon Banner. It says: A careful consideration respecting tho attitude of tho present leaders of the Democratic party, both of tho State and Nation, nnd of their reprehensible departure from tho Jeffersonian creed, and especially nfter witnessing the evils every day envolving to tho country by reason of thnt departure and also, in accordance with the advice of many democratic friends, as well as of all classes iu the country, we have this week raised .the Fremont ticket. John P. Slett, P. M. at Cintrfiville Ind., has resigned, so as to be fn e to huzza for Fremont ns loud as he pleases. A good many other Poslmasltrs would increase their own comfort and self-resp. cl by following the example. The Manitowoc (Wis.) Tribune has pulled down the pro-slavery Hag ol Buchanan and run up the free fl ig oi' Fremont. The editor, S. VV. Smith, has a!so si nt in his resignation as chairman of the Dm.ocrutic County Committee. Indiana The Hon. Andrew J. Ilurian, a Pie: co member of Congress from the Xltli District Indiana, two years a:o, has declared himself for Fremont. The Providence Journal urges the friends of Fillmore and Fremont to unite upon a single electorial ticket in Rhode Island, in order to render certain the defeat of Mr. Buchanan. Tho Cleveland Herald says that the whole Fillmore ticket is out ot the (kid in Ohio. A Large Fremont and Daylon meeting was held at Mercer, Pa., last week. On the same day the Republican Convention met and nominated a ticket. The opposition to Buchanan all united in Mercer, as well as in Lawrence and Beaver, which are in the same Congressional district. A letter from there says the majority for Fremont in the district will be from 600 to 1,-000 larger than it was for Pollock, who carried it by 2841. In Beaver county the opposition are nl-o united on Fremont. The Fremont men claim from 1000 to 1500 majority in Beaver.Judgo Gilbraith, for many years a Democratic leader in Noith-Western Pennsylvania, said about a week since that the stnmpede towards Fremont, in thnt portion ot l ennsylvania, was beyond belief in calculation. The mnsses having received the idea that it is not true Democracy to aseist in the extension of slavery, are leaving the ranks by hundreds, and there is no telling where the defection will stop. The Troublesome Pig in Kansas. Everybody has heard of John Leland, a Baptist minister of great celebrity, some years since in eastern New York and Mas sachusetls. Tho course of Douglas, Toombs & Co., in their (.(Torts to pacify Kansas and the country, remind us of a good story that is told of the eccentric old man. He was, at one time, called to altend n council in a troublesome case, in which the offender professed extreme anxiety to do what was right, if he could only be made to see what he ought to do. Alter a long time spent by different members of the council iu vain t (Torts to enlighten him, John Leland arose to speak, and all were intent to his words : "This case," said he "reminds me of a circumstance that occurred, just ns 1 had mounted my horse to come to this meeting. In looking around I noticed that a pig had broken into one of my lots, nnd thren'ened to do much damage there. I got off my horse at once, and hastened to the place. 1 first fonno. the hole where hejiad broken in, nnd then drove him very carefully towards it. Ho snuffed nnd grunted, and seemed anxious ns a pig could be to get out, and made many desperate efforts, but where to get out was impossible. But when ho reached the hole, he bolted by it with all possible speed and begin agiin his furious efforts beyond. I drove him sev-eial limes to nnd fro.but every time he shot past the hole in great haste, nnd began wiih most remarkable pertinacity his efforts to get out where egress was impossible. At last I became tired of this sport, and gathering some good sized stones, I sent them flying at him. This had the desired ef-fec t. The first that hit him enlightened his mind at once. He squealed as though he had been nearly killed, and making one straight run for the hole, was grunting outside before I hal lime to hit him again." The story says that the offender, who had listened attentively during the discourse, rose at once sating that he now saw the hole, nnd went out, by a hearty confession, without the application of another stone. It is devoutly to be wished that Douglas, Tombs tic Co., should suspend their vain efforts, and look fcrthc hole by which the troublesome piggotin to Kansas, then let them hit it with a stone that will make itsqueal.and hasten straightway out of the same opening. Admit Kansas with her free constitution, formed by her real Settlers, and the pig will not wait lor another stone. J. 1. limes. Liw. Campbell Spukkt. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Times, writing on the 14th, says: Mr. Campbell's closing speech to-day, was bold and effective. In reply to Mr. Clingman he remarked: "I have said as much in condemnation of Slavery as Mr, Sumner; now what are you going to make of it." Tho Case of Mr. Underwood, of VirginiaSectionalism.Tho New York Tribuno snys: It is often mado a matter of rerrjach to Republicans that they havo no party in the slave region. "You are sectional," it is charged, "elso your orgnnimion would not bo confined to the Free Slates." In re ply, we insist that we iar compatriots in the Slnvo States not merely those who openly and boldly sympathize with us, like t'nssius M. Clay, but tens of thousands who would gladly do so but for the reign of terror which Slavery deems vital to its existence. St. Louis is this hour as hostile to slavery ns Rochester, and New Orleans more so than Philadelphia; but slaveiy has its club ever ready to break tho heads of thoso who within its bailiwick venture lo question its policy or sway. Its champions are knit together by the sense of a common interest, a common danger; they live on Ihe labor of others, and havo more leisure for the politics than their fellow citizens; they are accustomed to rule and the non-slaveholders lo submit; they are in constunt communication, and understand each other; while their domestic adversaries are mainly humble, isolated and downtrodden. If every man in the Slave States dare speak out what he thii,ks, slavery would boon totter to its fall. Among tho delegates from Slave States to the late People's Convention at Philadelphia, was Mr. J. C. Underwood, of Clarke county, Virginia, who made a brief speech thereat, tvincing his devotion to the common cause. Traveling hUurely homeward after the adjournment of the Convention, ho was met at Washington by intelligence that his attendance nnd remarks as a delegate had grently incensed his neighbors, and caused a fierce cx itement throughout the country, and that he must not venture to return to his home ! Finding on inquiry that the re was no mistake in this information, he stopped at Washington nnd sent a friend (Gen. Francis E. Spinner. M.I C. from Herkimer county, in tins State) j i t ins lamity. uen. fpinner started last Friday morning a noble way of spending the Fourth of July and returned the next evening with Mr. Underwood's family. Mr, Underwood, in a letter of Monday last to the Evening Post, says: "I am not a planter, for tho sweat of unpaid labor has never moistened my fields, and, while I should be unwilling to acknowledge any man master, I would scorn to call any man slave. One month ago, I owned 800 acres of Virginia soil, but per-haps the respectable gentlemen who have driven me from the State have confiscated; my proper y by a new code estiblishedi very recently. My wife, who reached mo I on Saturday evening, informs me that when she appealed to Ihe r. spectable gentlemen, I who demanded either my blood or banish-; mtnt from the State, to know what law of j Virginia I had violated, they replied to her that they did not know that I had broken ' nny law, but that 1 had broken the 'rules of Virginia. Now, as I am not acquaint-ed with these 'rules of Virginia,' 1 think it very possible that they may apply to property as well as personal freedom. It seems to me that confiscation is just ns suitable a 'rule' as exile, to apply to freedom of opinion One of the old rules of Virginia, as I had supposed, was free speech, and, in the language of Jefferson, I had thought that even 'error of opinion might bu safely tolerated where reason is left Tier to combat it.' "My poor wife was almost broken down with loss of sleep and excitement.having been haunted two weeks with visions of murder and assassination. She is now, however, muoh improved by the rest of a quiet Sabbath, and by the generous sympathy which has seemed to breathe like a new atmosphere around her. "We inlend to leave this city in a day or two, seeking a temporary refuge in some of the quiet hills of the Free North. Yours truly, "J. C. UNDERWOOD." Help Me, Cassius, or I Sink I" m. i.i ii f ...t . ... I ine uucnananues are caning lor"lleip! The loud pulsations of the public heart for Freedom and Fremont alarm them. Hence the call for money, embodied in the following circular forwarded to us by a Post Master who received it: (ritlVATE ) To the roil Matter of Dear Sib At a private consullation of I lie leading Democrats of the Union held in this ci y, immediately upon the adjournment of the Cincinnati Convention, it was recommended that each Postmaster be requested to contribute an amount proportionate to tho receipts of their respective offices. Upon examining the returns of the Post Office Department it is found that your proportion will be three dollars, which you will confer a favor by remitting by return of mail. The principal object in making these collections is to throw into the doubtful States an immense quantity of speeches and documents in favor of the policy of the Demo-cralio party, and also to assist in defraying the expenses of speakers that will be employed during the coming canvass. You will therefore perceive that every Post Master WHO WISHES FOR A CONTINUANCE OF HIS OFFICIAL position will find it for his interest to use every effort to bring about so desirable a result. Post Masters are appealed to because thi y are considered the representatives of the party in their respective localities, andi being the recipients of the patronage of the administration, it is but just that they sho'd comply wilh its demands. Please send us the name of some reliable leading Democrat in your town whom we can confer with hereafter. Address, PEHRIN M. BROWN, Jr. Washington City, (D. C.) 1856. Instead of sending the "three dollars" to Washington, as requested, the gentleman addressed sent it to us to pay for ten copies of the Campaign Journal! This may be taken as a significant "sign of the times." Albany Eve, Journal, y'Ole Bull" has contributed 8500 for the establishment of a Norwegian paper in favor of Fremont, la Wisconsin. 185G. X3T The Suvmnah Georgian, n leading organ of child-selling "Democracy," hav-ing heard of tho nomination of Fremont, relieves itself after this fashion: JOHN CHARLES FREMONT. It is wilh pride that the North can bonst, in tho chaos of political elements, a sturdy bund of patriots who, setting nt defiance the howls of the Abolition horde, stand with the noble souls of the country on guard over tho sacred fortress of tho Constitution. 8ho can record tho names of Cuss, Bit-channn, Pierce, Douglas, Toucy and others, as tho guardian spirits of the Union, acting nnd confederating with thoso tiuo sons of a more Southern latitude, for the preservation of constitutional liberty. Tho gratifying ta-k is allowed !o the South in tho year 1 850, to herald to the world the distinguished name of her first traitor, John Charles Fremont, the Abolition nomineo for tho Presidency of tho U. Slates. The Stain of South Carolina enn claim his nurture, and the city of Savannnh, in the State of Georgia, has had the accidental honor of being tho place of Lis birth. 1 Does not the earth seem to heave under us nt tho thought? Does it not try in vain to rid itself ol this foul disgrace? No, it does not. It looks wilh pity upon the poor wretch whose judgment is 'so much at fault hs to place himself in the hands of nn unscrupulous and designing crew, who will use him for the moment, but cast him at last from them, "loving the "treason, but despising the traitor." Ho has played thus far the successful part of the "knave, "and the sequal will cause him.wiihout any volition ot his own, to be the actor of that more pardonable character of the "fool." The great man of the party in which this AOolilicn tyro is now the prominent lumi nary is William II. Seward. No doubt our renders and the rulhc generally must have remarked in what profound political retirement he has kept himself (luring the last six months. Yet, if the Anti-Slavery game ever does succeed, he is the man who will reap its rewards. lie rests perfectly content for this mad climber of the Rocky Mountains to break his neck in the more d.fficult ascent which he has recently un dertaken. When the political carcass of the great John Charles, the beloved son of iiuuii Carolina, shall burden the plains at the base of the eminence which be once dared to essay, in 18G0 the arch fiend ol New York pn poses, in his own person, to fight the great battlo of his party. Tho poor civaturo is indebted for his present elevation to the idea inculcated by his bosom friend Greely, that from his own experience of the practical operation of .slavery, lie can in the magnthcence of his unsullied conscience f.icc the people of his birthplace. Corilnnus once stood nt the gales of Rome with the hostile Volsci at iiis back; his mother and his wifo wilh streaming eyes went forth to subdue the heart of tho incensed Roman. If John C. Fremont (who is to Coriolanus in dignity ns the opossum is to the lion) shall ever appear with tho .legions of Abtlition at the gates of tho Constitution, nnd shall but touch with his unhallowed hand its sacred portal, his mother land will sally forth. not in tears, but displaying tho cord of hemp, as well the emblem of his treason as the reward of his treachery. For Fremont. The Boston Bee, the leading Fillmore paper in Massachusetts, hns come out boldly for Fremont. Speaking of Mr. Fillmore, and after expressing a high opinion of his character, tho Bee savs: "Tho People havo decided that he is not a candidate capable of uniting the masses upon the paramount issues now agitating the vast Continent; therefore desiring that what influence wo possess should be directed in doing the most effectual service toward staying the present evils nnd defeating nn endorsement of the present rascally administration, we yield our personal preferences as regards candidates, and take a stand for Liberty now and for ever." JtST So you are going to keep house, are you?" said an elderly maiden to a young woman recently married. "Yes," was the reply. "Going to have a girl, I suppose," was queried. The newly made wife colored, and then quietly responded that "she did know whether it would be a boy or a girl." 3f The Boston Iiee, on Mr. Buchanan says: Ho is a bachelor, but not in the matrimonial market. Ladies who are ambitious to preside over the White House need not make Rny exertions, for there are two strong arguments against him. The Grst is, Mr. Buchanan wont mnrry; and the second, he never will be President. Miciitoan. At a meeting at Howell, Mich., Wm. A. Clark, a veteran Democrat renounced his adhesion to the Democratic parly as follows: "lam this day for Fremont !

Buchanan and Fillmore 70 NO 38 A Kansas correspondent ttf the Cincitt nati Gazette writes under date of July Ji "I heard to-day of an outrage whioh ex cccds any that I have heard of during the Kansas troubles. A man by the name ot Richards, formerly of Ohio residing on-Pottawatomie creek, in the southern portion of Ihe Territory, having occasion tJ go to Westport, left homo on Thursday loet ami. 11. rt ..-.1 .... ....v, n.v nlu uuuiTHianaing mat be would be back in four days. During the first da of his nbscence. two men came to the houso and enquired for him ; finding that he was not at homo they left, saying that they would call when he returned, his wife inviting them to do so, stating that he would be at home in a day or two. About 10 o clock that night, after the family had retired, n knock was heard at the door, Mm, Richards asked what was wanted; the reply was, we want to see Mr. Richards. She replied that he was not at home. They then demanded Mrs. Richards to open the door. Ho is a G D d Aboli-uonist, we must have him. She again re plied, ho is not at home, and refused td open tho door. It was then hi-nU, and seven or eight men entered the room mm cummenceei searching it for Richards. Not finding him, they accused Mrs. Richards and her daughter, an intelligent young lady about nineteen years old, of secreting bim. The ladies, completely bewildered by terror, protested that they had told the truth, and lhat they had not secreted him thnt he was really gone to Westport. One of their men then replied, "Then God d n you, we want you," and dragged the daughter from the bed, and from the bouse into the bushes close by, and there proceej ded deliberately, to violate her person.- Her mother, Mrs. Richards, was treated in the same manner, and both left for dead. How long they remained in the bush, they were unable to tell, but the managed finally to reach the house where they were found by the neighbors the next morning, who, alter providing for their personal comfort, immediately started to raise a company to pursue the villians. In an hour a company of terribly excited men were raised, num.-benng about thirty, who, under the command of a Mr. Smith, started on the trail. They traced them to a camp of about one hundred men situated in a deep ravine some distance from the creek. Finding that they were not atmim nnmt. i. S w. g.. wu UgUl, some of the company started for assistance, while others remained (o watch their proceedings. The wnfn.ti unfortunately discovered, and consequent- .j, u.u i icave, ana Dy me time their comrades returned, the camp had been moved, and the ruffians escaped. This affair has caused groat ozoitement throughout the Territory, and is almost too horrible to believe. I had the facts from Mr. Richards himself, who has been to ac-tinr Governor Wondspr inr.n.n. i justice done, but without avail, and has come 10 iopeKa to get the citizens to help him to arrest and obtain the perpetrators of this most diabolical outrage. It has since been ascertained that the scoundrels were part of Buford's men, who are armed with United States muskets, nnd in the pay of the United States Marshal. This is but a single one of the man outrages that are daily being perpetrated upon the Free State people of Kansas. People of the North f will you permit this longer to continue ? Will m it,d. . low the hired ruffians and tools of the Blue Lodge of Missouri to commit these diabolical outrages upon your sisters and ineiiua iu Kansas r uo you blame the Free State Deorjle for endpnvnn'nir e tect themselves and their children from violence like this ? If you do not, then 'T by your presence here and your influence at home, to hasten the time when the oppressed Free State people of Kansas can be guaranteed protection and safety from her murderous attacks."
