The Missouri Democrat, of Monday lust, contains a long and very interesting leter from its Kanzas correspondent. Governor Reeder addressed a great ro.iss me ting of Free State men, at Ijiiwrenoe, on Monday evening, October 8th. The Democrat's correspondent says : The room in which the audience Assembled was decorated with numberless transparencies, from which 1 quote and subjoin half a dozen inscriptions : " The eve of our Disenthrallmcnt." " Reeder and Freedom." ." God peed the Right." " Remember the 3Jth of March." "Freemml lo ih Pods." " Liberty or Death." Upwards of five hundred persons wen present, and -he grea.rsi, in fact the mo "ultra," en husitsin prevailed. Reeder made a lon sp'-eci which reported verbatim. He was received win gr- at enthusiasm, arid, of c tur.se impressed himself very grateful. He spoke in flowing terms of the importance of ine occasion, and said thit the actions of the K.tuz v Free State men in the present canvass were likely to undergo not only ihe inspection of c (temporaries, but of poster i'.y. We quote the mo-it interesting por tions of this speech : I am proud at this moment of the Fre-8ute party, and of ihe pn.:cipl a ot acdon wLich it lias promulgated. It stands in the position f renderi g . o I fur evil. 1 says, ' we were bom iree wuite ai n, iii:l claim tiie. p ivileges ,kriiriLj l'rm ill .t condition the lii st of these is he uniinlete I regul t ions of our institutions -upo i our Territory we want not the blilitiu curse of slavery we do not dispu e n r do we in any way wish to imerlere with it elsewhere we stand upon the pit form of justice and equal right-, and wi hm the compacts of the C institution, and t e s i'e-uardsof law.

We proclaim by our platform of pnn t-pies, that we demand the ri -ht of free speech, free sufrage, and U-t guvrrnmenl that we desire to build up here another great republic, by free white labr, and to exclude, as we have a right to do, the institution of slavery, which we believe would blight our progress, and our prosperity. we say to our brethren of ill- Union, wlo differ from us, that although we miht dt cy tbeir right to hold slaves in ihe Terrify ry, yet, in the spirit of liberali y, we "ill find no fault that they bring their slaves along, when tbey come to enter into a fraternal coutest at the ballot b. x, To- determining the character of our institution-, and will recomra nl that their slaves be in the meantime unmolf ed ; nd we deolan-thst when free insiiiu'ioni shall be established, the right of property whioh they olaim in the 'lave, within our hounds, shall be treated nitfi tha moderation and cbari Ity, which should xiH b iw. en brethren of a great repablio, who differ in opinien.

Alficdon, though it will endure much, cannot bear all things. D opping water wid wear out the hardest rock ; and an ill- tempered wife, in time, will alienate the mot forgiving of liu bauds. Had Mr Hudson, on returning from his store come home -ngry, because things had gone wrong, and had he visited his spleen tin his wile, she would have had some excuse. But though there are husbtinds who do this, he was not one of them. He had ear y !eaned to control his temper, and hence, though money was often scarce, trade duil. tried, he never permi'te I himself to vein his ill humor at home. uu, at last, lie did what thousands of husbands had been driven into dointj before, he began io be at home as little as possibh ; and be would I) ive begun earlier, il it had not been lor his children.
