The following letter was written to a . citizen of Alton, and was nut designed for . publication. The writer consented after urgent requettt, to allow us to publish it. The Rev. Mr. Rnbbins knows irom personal observation whereof he affirms, and Ins : statements explode the silly pretense of Douglas and his followers, tbnt but for the . movements of , the Emigrant Aid Company, there would have been no trouble in Kansas. The piomers of the Methodist Church in Kansas and Western Missouri, are well posu d in reft r nee to the Pro-; Slaver) policy towards the Territory covered by the Missouri Compromise, even while the Lorn promise remained, their ob ,, seivation und bitier experience ex'ending back iol 848 tight years sinc. Wenstt . for this letier, not written for the public , tye, but all important to the tt rrible i-sues now belore the couutiy, a cntuful andean did puisual, and then if honest men can ignore the Kansas troubles wo shall be compelled to acknowledge that this is an - Age of fiction, and learful (acta are not equal to the woik of moving the public . mind to action. Rev. Mr. Robl ins is, at the present time Jthc officiating Minister for the Methodist ..Church at Upper Alton, and is widely ttiown aiming Ins dt r.oniinnlion: Uppish Alton, July 16, 1856. ' Dear Sib: At your ri quest 1 set down to stale a lew facta of the truth of which I became fully saiisiitd during a residence of . three years on the "oordcr and scene ot Xbe recent Kansas troubles. . In doing this, I have no desire to become .a gladiator on the poli icnl arena; but facts are facts, and when desired to do so by my friends, I fuel lit perfect liberty to give Ihem. ' The Missouri Compromi-e was a "giief of mind"' to the sluvery propagandists of Ve8tern Missouri, long belore its repeal was spoken of in Congress. Of the bitier enemies ot this slavery restriction, we will ho believed when we saw David R. Atchison was the leader. Availing himself of a courtesy long practiced tit the "White House," which is to consult the members of Congress respecting (he appointment of uovernmenx agents, wno are to act iu me 'Vicinity of said members or their constitu nts, be has, for a long time, secured the Appointment of Pro-Slavery men only to all the Indian agencies bordering on Missouri These Pro-Slavery agents, sound in the faith themselves, were ready to carry out the wishes of their patron, and to do what they could to introduce slavery into JNe- eraska Territory, the law notwithstanding. llen.ee the ngents who reside in the Territory carried their, slaves with tin m, and lield them as such; and one, at least, who 'did not r side in the Territory, carried his elavirs (here id set Hu m to work. As you cm easily imagine, these agents were exceedingly jealous ot lue existence ot any ireesoil influence, and whenever discover ed in the Territory, stood ready to smulh fer it, if in their power. Hence, when in 1846 the Methodist Episcopal Church di vided on the subtect of slaverv, as soon as it was discovered the Indians connected wlh the Methodist missions in the Territo ry, did not generally favor ibe notion of going into the southern organization, im mediately, all the Church proper.y was se cured to (he use of a Pro Slavery ministry end the. Indians given to nderstand they must go into the Church South, or have no missionaries at an Gearing ine name ui me Methodist. - But a larcre Dortioji of the In dian membership, with a large portion of tneir native preachers, proved to be made f stuff too stern to be coaxed by mission aries br driven by Government agents into -M .i j. i . .mi yrgsuizntiuu iuey oiu not sanction. 'ibese continued to petition to be served by the missionaries of the Methodist Church, Of, as some style it, the Church North In May, 1848, Uieir prayer was granted by the eoithoi iiies of said Church, and in the fall ef that jer, Rcv Mr. Gurley, from .Ohio, wfti sent to rerve the Wyandotts, and Rev. Mr. Still, at Missouri, aided by native preachr's. undertook to supply other por-.tions of that Territory with the word of life and ordinances of religion,occaiionally.--But now a new crusade began. Mr. Gurley '. had scarcely comni'nced bis labors among' (be Wyandotts, until be was arres. ted and placed under guard, like a thief, .and senl out of the country Dr. Still was jso ordered to leave, underpaio ef severe treaimenl ihtmld lie liBve the lemuity to disobey. The agent who figured in this affair was a certain Dr. Uewet. , Our Indiun friends, not disheui tuned by all dint occurred, in the (nil of 1849, Kent a delegation to the Missouri Coherence at its session in St. Lotus, consihiing 0 Jum M Armstrong, and E' quire Gnycyes. who bore petitions liniii portions 1 1 ihu Wyandolt, Shawnee, Delaware mid Kicknpoo iribes, asking to have missionaries sent them from t ho Conference, Bishop James presided nt the Conference, and before he would tako any step in the premises, he, in compuny with the Indian delegation, wailed on Colonel D. Mi chell, Supi rinti ndent of Indian affairs, and obtained a written permission for missionaries to enter and labor in the Territory among any tribes of Indians who might desire them to do so. For one year alter this the missionaries were nut moles-led. But this siate of things could not laat. Col. Benton passed along l lie border, and nddiessed the people in justification of him-sell in disregarding the instiuctions of the Missouri Legislature, as contained in the famous Jaekson resolutions. In his speeches he attempted to prove and he did it too that Congress had the control ofSin-vt-iy in the Territories, and proved from the history of (hut country that Congress had acted on that doctrine since I82U, as well as belore. He also spoke of Slavery ns un evil that lie would gla'lly rid his State of if in his power. This was loo bad. Somt thing must be done. Accordingly,' Rev. Mr. Maikham was ordered to leave the Shawnee nniiun roily in the wimer of I860, and in the lollowing February I was slopped on the road, in bight of an appoint-mem I hud in the Shawnee country, and sent out of the Territory. Col. Luke Lea w the ngent who officiated on this occasion. Beloie taking leave of him, I showed him the petition of the Shawnee people, asking our pastoral care likewise our au-ihoiiiy to labor in the country, signed by Col. Mitchell, but all to no purpose. Said he, "yeu are suspected of being Abolitionists, and therefore you and your brethren are considered disturbers here." We left but our case was laid before President Fillmore and the Secretary of the Inteiior. We were reinstalled by a special ortb r to the Indian agents, n copy of which was kii diy furnished us. But when we r turned, every iffwit was used to frighten us out of the Tenitoiy, and every indignity heaped upon us they durtd, at the lime", to impose; and, a-i th.y would ackr.owlt (!("', be cause they supposed we were tinctured with Abolitionism. On the other hand, a Mis-sourian, or any other man in Government employ, who would enlei the couniry with a slave, would be sure to protected and caressed.Major Mosely, agent at Wyandotte, in conversation with a gentleman, is represented to have said: "We intend to have this couniry for slavery, peacefully if we can, but if not peacefully, we intend to have it any way;" exhibiting a pistol as he closed the sentence. While the Commissioners were treating with the Wyandotte Indians they said to the Indians: "You are to keep still on the subject ot slavery, but you ma) be sure this couniry will be slave Territo ry." lhe same spirit was exhibited in the State as in the Tenitory, whereever sym pathy with Atchison was found. IIuw, sir, in view of these facts, and others like them every one of which could be substantiated if necessary, what becomes of the truth of that assertion made in and oof Congress: "If it had not been for Eastern Emigrant Aid Societies. Kansas would have been free to day." I know not what impression the focis here narrated may make on other minds, but they have long since faxd the conviction on my own, that there has been on ihe border a body of men, ever since 1848 at least, of whom David R. Atchison is the soul; who have been determined to make Kansas a Slave State at nil cost. For this their lives and fortunes are pledged Kansas and Slavery has been their motto. Unless Slavery is in tbe a-ceudant, the dis solution of the Udion with Atchison, is a consummation most devoutedly to be wish ed. The repeal of the Missouri Cumpro mise only gave a laiger liberty to do what would bave been done had it not been disturbed. The party intended, aided as they expected to be by other Southerners, to bght Kansas into a Slave State, though it might cost the dissolution of the Union, If 1 had not such convictions, it is probable I should have been in Kansas to day. But ns I said to Mr. Wheelock, of Ship man, in November, 1853, "If there is un attempt to make Kansas a Free State, blood will be shed;" this he will remember. The only thii g that hi Id the ruffians back so long from an indiscriminate slaughter of Free State men, was the want of color of law. This they could not obtain eo soou as they desired, because Gov. Reed-er delayed the legislative election. So soon as the opportunity occurred, they hurried over and made a Legislature to pass laws they well knew no Free State man would obey. This would furnish a pretext for f execution unto death, until worn out, tbey the Free State men would leave is they are now doing. Things bave been, bad enough, but I fear the end is not yet. Respectfully yours, GEO. W. ROBBINS. An Editor Shot. Killing men now a days is becoming respectable sport. The Indian Agent in Kansas, Clark, shoots a citizen of Ohio, and tbe Governor becomes bis guest.

MOUNT VERNON, The Cattle Story, The Buchaniers have been exceedingly uniortunato in the stories they have hatch ed up against Col, Fremont. The one th-y have dwelt un most of late, is con oeinlng some cattle transaction in Culifor nia, in which they allege that he purchas ed cattle lor the government, and nnpro pruteu mem to liiniseit. 1 lie same thing was trumped up against him when he first ran us a candidate lor the U. S, Senate: in a letter to .t friend he thus explained it : "In reply to your inquiry for information regarding the "real nature of the transaction with D. Eulogio de Celis," I have to state that, ut a time when the troops under the command were destitute of provisions, and we weie able to procure them only in small and desultory supplies, on a precarious credit, Major Snntii I llcit-sley, then commissary for the balallion, called upon me with un oiler from Mr. Celis, which 1 was glad to accept immediate ly. The offer was to lutnish me COO head of cattle, at ten dollars per head, nnd it loan of J;2,5U0, payable all in six months, with the usual interest; if not l aid at that time, we were to return him the hides ns the cattle were killed, and the difference in the price of the cattle, ($8 being the cash price then) being a bonus for the loan and for the relief iiff.irdod by the provisions. D. Andres Pico was charged t ) bring the cuttle from San Lou'k Obi.-po to Los Angeles. In the interval of his absence, General Kearney issued his proclamation, uking oui of my hands the partial direction of affairs woLli I had retained, and destroying the conli knee which the people of the SuU' li had been disposed to place in me. Desiring to know lor the satisfaction of those to whom I was indebted, how far General Kearney designed to fullil my contacts previously made, 1 im mediately visited linn lor that purpose at Monterey. As I have nlready asserted on my trial before the court martial ut Washington, ho refused to assume any lespon-sibility or to lullil any contract.

York, called to take official action in the present crisis, nnd which resolved to abandon Buchanan and vote with the Republicans, causes inquiry abroad (is to the character nnd position of those who led the movement, nnd the probable effect their si cession will have on the vote this fall, in New York. The New York Herald thus advises, in answer to the inquiry : lliey (the Radicals; aro the cream ol the old Democratic parly of this common wealth tho very cream of it. S une of them were leaders in the church when our modern Democratic chieftains such as Pierce, Douglas und Toombs were l iw- yci b apprentices, nnu some ol them were Democrats when Mr. Buchanan was a Federalist. And they represent n body of them tli at will astonish the Cincinnati com pound! is in November. Tho vote ia this Statu for Martin Van Dure n in 1848, upon j the grner.il issue of hostility to the extension of slavery, was 120,000, and very likely upwards of fifty ihou-iand of lhse voters are now with Fremont. Wcshall not be surprised if, on the day of the election, the full measure of one hundred thousand of Ihe Van Buren vo'u of 4J were to be cast for Fremont.

The tailor was quite as ar dent a politician as his comp'-w.ioii, nlbi-i hi was not so profound ; but what ho 1 .eked in bl ,ck learning und logic he made up in an abundant How of words, set speecin s, snatches of political orations, etc, which he had heard at different caucuses and whic'i his retentive memory hoarded up, ready to be delivered on fitting occa-ioni. Tin y had not proceeded far ou their journey when Mr. Broadcloth asked his companion if he intended to make a sp-ech. and, on receiving an affirmative answer, told him he should like to hear it as it was all "cut and dried."

The first summer which we spont in Lenox, we had along a very Intelligent dog named Noble. He was learned in many things, nnd by his dog lore excited the undying admiration of all the children, But there were some things which Noble oould nevt r learn. Having on one occasion seen n red squirrel run into a hole in soma stone w ill, he could not be persuaded it was not there for evermore. Several red squirrels lived close to the house, and had become familiar, but not lame. They kept up a regular romp with Noble. They would come down from the maple trees with provoking carelessness; they would run ulon" tho fence almost within reach; they would cock their tails and sail across the road to the bam-jard; and yet, there was such a well limed calculation undir nil this apparent r.ishm ss, Hint Isoulo invariably arrived at the critical spot just as the squirrel left i'. On one occasion, Noble was soclofe up on his red-backed friend that, unable to get up tho maple tree, he dodged into a hole in the wall, ran through the chinks, ( 'merged at a little distance, and sprang in to the iroe. Tho intense enthusiasm of the doT; at that hole can hardly he describ ed. !lu filled it full of barking. He pawed and scratched as if undermining a bus ion. Standing off a short distance, he would pierce the hole with a gaze as intense un 1 fixed as if he were trying magnetism on it. Then, with his tail ex ended and every hair thereon electrified, he would ru-di at the empty holo with a pro digioua o!,slaui;lit. This imaginary squirrel haunted Noble night and day. The very squirrel itseli would run up before his face into the tree, nnd, crouched in a crotch, would sit silently watching the whole processof bombarding the empty hole, with great sobriety and relish. But Noble would allow of no doubts lli conviction that lhat hole had a squir ivl in, continued unshaken for nearly six weeks. When nil other occupations failed, this? hole rt m.iined to him. When there wi-re no more chickens to harry, no pigs to bite, no cattle to chase, no children to romp wi h, no expeditions to m ike with the old folks, and wluu he had slept all his dogskin would hold, he would walkout of the yuiJ, yawn and slretcli himself, and then I i.... i. .. ii.. . .i... 1...1 . :e .i. :!.: ... " ""V'T'. " " :o, t may as well try that liole again! We hud almost, forgo ten this little trick tinlil the conduct of the New York Express, in respect to Col Fre mont's religion j brought it ludicrously to mind again. Col i iMiimont is, and always has been, as sound i a Protestant as John Knox ever was. lie WM breJ : lbe Prole8tunl failh ftnd m9 , d H(J h gWUBU-A with UiC, doctrines tld col emot: ies Ot thtf Catholic c' urch, and has never attended the servi- ! c.s of that church, excent on two nr threp occisions, when curiosity, or some other x:rin -ia reason, led him as a witness. We Un.'.w what we say. We say it upon our own personal honor and proper knowledge. Col. Fremont never was, and is not now, a ll imun Catholic. He has never been wont o attend that church. Nor has he in any w.'iy, directly or indirectly, given occasion i'oi this report. It is a gratuitous falsehood, utter, barren, nbiolute and unqualified. The story has been got up for political effect, nnd is s.ill circulated for that reason, and, like other political lies, it is a sheer, unscrupulous falsehood, from top to bottom, from the core to the skin, and from the skin back to the core again. In all its parts ; in pulp, tegument, rind, cell and seed, it is a thorough and total untruth, and ihey who spread it, bear fuhe witness. And as to all the stories of the r aimer, etc., as to supposed conversation with Fremont, in which he defended the muss and what not, they are pure fictions. They never happened. The authors of them are slanderers; the men who believe them are dupes the men who t-pread them become endorser j of willful aud conupt libellers. But the Express, like Noble, ha opened on this hole in the wall, nnd can never be done barking nt it. Day after day it re-sorts to lliii empty hole. When everything else fails, this source remains. They are indefatigable the Express and Noble a Church without a Iremont, and a squirrel without a hole in it ! In some respects, however, the dog hnd tho advantage. Sometimes we thought he really believed there was a tquirrel there But ut other limes he apparently had an d ()r ,)e wouJ jlj8 ui ftn() Wllk ,owimIa UJ wUh LU e Rnd his inkling of the ridiculousness ot his con- eyes a little aslant, Betming to say, "My dear sir. you don't understand a dog's feelings; 1 should of course prefer a squirrel, but if I can't have that, an empty hole is better than nothing. I can imagine how I would catch him it he was there. Besides, people who pass by don't know the facts. They think 1 have got somathing. It it needful lo keep up my reputation for sagacity. Eeside-o, to tell the truth, I have looted into that h"le so long that I have half persuaded myself that there is a squirrel there, or will be, if 1 keep on." Well, every dog must have its day, and every dog must have its way. No doubt, if we were to bring back Noble now, after two summers absence, he would make ttrnight for thnt hole in the wall with just as much zeal as ever. We ne-yer read the Express now-a-dayt, without thinking involuntarily, "Goodness! the dog is letting off at that hole again." DeSbitloui. . A la Black Democracy. Uhiohists.

The litllo parish of Yellowdalo farmers hadjlong been without a minister. Ono day Rev. Mr. Surely visited the villsge, and was asked to stay ovor Sunday and preach to them. The people wero pleased with his sermons, and some wero Anxious to have him stop. A meeting was called to know tho mind of tho parish. "I don't seo any use in having a niiniiter," said Sharp, a rich old farmer ; "a parson can't learn me anything; if wo'vo nny money to spare, we had belter lay it out in some thing that will bring a fairer return." Tho babbuth-loving part of tho peoplo argued strongly against him. "Well," ant-wered Sharp, not choosing to show himself coia vinced, "I've heard tell of minislers that could pray for rain, and brinj it; if we could hit on one of that sort, I'd go in for hiring him." Mr. Sharp was a man of consequence, and the younger and less knowing of his neighbo.s were quite tuken with the ie'ei. "That woald be a minister worth having," they thought. After much talk, it wi.s agreed to hire Mr. Surely upon this condition that he would give the in rein, or fair weather when they wanted it; for their farms often suffered both from severe droughts and heavy rains. Mr. Surely was immediately wailed upon by a committee of th j pari ,-ih, who soon caino back, bringing the minister with them, "I will accpt your terms upon one condition," said lie, "that you must agree tipon what sort of weather you want.' This appeared reasonable, and matters were arranged for a year's stay at Yellow- uaie. Weeks passed on, bringing midsummer heats. For three weeks it hnl not rained, and the joung corn was beginning to curl with drought. Now for iho minister's piomise. "Come," said Sharp with ono or two others whose hilly farms were suffering, "we need rain; you remember your promise.""Certainly," answered the minister, "call a meeting." A meeting was called. "Now, my friends," said the pastor, what is it you want?" "R kin, rain," shouted half a dozen voi ces. Very well, when will you have it?" This very night, all night long," said Sharp, to which several assented. JNo, no, not to night," cried Mr. &mitn, "I've six or se7en tons of well made hay out; 1 would not have it wetior anytning. "So have I," added Mr. Peck, "no rain to-night." Will you take it to morrow? " asked the minister. But it would take all to-morrow to get it in. So obj -ctions came up for tbe two or three next days. "In four days, then?" said flir. Surely. "Yes," ered Sharp, "all tho hay will be in, and no more be cut till " "Stop, stop!" cried Mrs. Sharp, pulling her husband smartly by the sleeve, "that day we have set to go to Snow-hill. It mustn't rain then." In short, the meeting resulted in just no conclusion at all, for it was found quite impossible to agree. "Until you mako up your minds," said the pastor on leaving, "we must trust in the Lord." Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Peck got their liny in, but on the day the Sharps wero to go to Snow hill, it began to rain in gocd enrnest. Sharp lost his visit but his crops gained. And so it happened once or twice again. The year rolled by, and the people could never all agree upon what kind of weathtr they wanted. Mr. Surely, of course, had no occasion to fulfill his part of the contract, and the result was that they began to open iheir eyes to the fnct that this world would be a strange place if its inhabitants should govern it. They saw that nature's laws could bo safely trusted in tho hands of nature's God. A Yankee Pass. An official Dutch nan in the valley of the Mohawk, one day stopped a Yankee pedlar journeying slowly through the valley on the Sabbath, nnd informed him ho must "put up" for the day; or, "if it vash necessary dat he should travel, he must pay de fino for do pass." It was necessaty it seems; for he told the Yankee to write the pass, and he would sign it "that he could do,tl;ough he didn't much writ! nor read wntin . This pnss was written, nnd signed with tho Dutchman's hieroglyphics, and tho pedlar went forth "into the bowels of the land, without impediment." Some six months afterward, a brother Dutchman, who kept a store further down the Mohawk, in settling with the pious official, brought in among other accounts, an order for twenty five dollars' worth of goods. "How ish dat?" said the Sunday officer "I never give no order let me see him." The order was produced; he put on his spectacles and examined it. "Yaas, dat ish mine name, sartain yaas; but it ish dat d Yankee pass!" The Harem and the Veil. Among the later items of newt from Constantinople, which appear in tbe A !-gemeine Zeitung tho pnper so greatly favored by the "distinguished regards"" ol Louis Napoleon is one to the effect that the Suban I al determined to pension all of hit wives, except one who is lo bear tne title of Empress. In connection with this grand moral reform there is also another move on the board of Turkish social life, which cannot fail to have a rather startling effect, and which is that all Turkish women are in future to go unveiled in public. "It it eharacterislie enough of the tex," addt the correspondent of the Zeitung referred j to, "that (bit rumof was reoeived in harems of tbe most different description with an universal outory of joy by all the young womeo, while the envious old dames, whose bloom has passed away, and who bsv pasted- ibeir live under the hated veil, rage and scream in the most angry manner at thii detested Innorstioi.

"Ilia warliko thoughts have lumcd bur thoughts very much to this war-;nd wci confess tho more we think of it, the belter we liko it.

It will enable us, with the United States South, on one tide in close alliance with England, nnd Canada on the other, very speedily to bring these long faced sharpers to thoir senses, by confining thctii to tho starving soil upon which they wero born, nnd to the thin air around them." Heroism of a Young Lady. Tbo Boston Courier,, speaking of ltd burning of the steamer John Jay, on Lake George, says : "The nobility of Miss Kalo Goro's conduct during lhe excitement and the strug gle) for life on board the John Jay, rises to tho dignity nnd sublimity of poetry. Sho was travelling under tho protection of her friend nnd neighbor, Mr. Pritchard j nnd wl.cn danger was imminent, 6ho turned to h'm, 'Sir, tako care of Mrs. Pritchard ; 1 can swim.' Thus saying she tripped forward, with n mind composed and a determination fixed, and passed oyer tho siae of the burning vessel. The distance from tho shore was then oyer amilo ; but she relying upon her own strength and courage, and being unwilling to embarrass others who might have dearercharges-undertook to save herself. She swam a mile, and became exhausted. A good boatman, ohscrring that sho failed, pushed to her relief and succeeded in reaching her in time. He took her into his skiff and landed her safely. She, in a transport of joy, and true to that nature, which is always grand, rewarded him with a gift more precious to his manly heart than g"'d." Canght.

Western Pennsylvania. , A gentleman who has recently visited, from house to house, in the counties of Western Pennsylvania, on a book agency thus writes : In my sojonrnings through North-wcs?" tern Pennsylvania, I met with very many-persons who supported Pieree in 1 852,7 and all, nearly all, declare their hostility to the Cincinnati Platform and its. representative. Perhaps one individual in ten of those I meet, opposes the Philadelphia Platform the other 9-lOths go in for that platform and its candidates. In one extensive School District, which may be ta ken ns a sample of most of the country through which I have canvassed, I found but three Buchanan men, and one pro-, slavery Whig. Those adhering to tho Democrntio nominees aro men occupying situations furnished them by the General Government or expeotants of such places. The great mass of the Democrats of this, section will not be led into any endorse-, ment of Pierce's treatment of Kansas af fairs. The election returns, from all this section, will astonish everybody with the magnitndo of the Fremont vote. He wiJJ bo well nigh the unanimoui choice. . . love.
