by Shannon and the usurping Legislature,
which was imposed upon us by the same law
lobs marauders, arc reveling in drunken but
short lived triumph over the honest, peaceful,
and liberty loving voters ol Kanzas.
Yesterday, the 1st of October, was, as you
tiro aware, the day appointed by that bogus,
and fraudulently elected legislature, for the
election ol a Representative in Congress from
tins Territory, Yon arc also informed that the
Free State Convention resolved to resist and
repudiate the eleetion of that Legislature.
Yet the Friends of Freedom pledged themsel
ves to commit no violence, unless compelled
to do so in self defence. They resoived to
maintain peace, good order, and obedience to
all law properly enacted, as tar as lay In their
power yet NEVER TO YIELD. They ac
cordingly staid away from !t he polls, The
Misaourians came over in armed b inds. They
have carried the election of course) and, en
couraged by the apparent non-resistence ofthe
Friends of Liberty, they rushed, in a drunkon
and riutou frtmzy, to the list extreme ol bar
barity, and capped the climax of their attocl
lie by MURDER! Yes, murder of innocent

the aelfgovernmenl which growl out ol the

Squatter SoVeignly! On the day ofthe elec
tion this iimt'ey crowd ul voters, composed of
M iesaurifl ns, newly arrived Virginians, and
drunken In lians, were addressed by pro-Sla-Very
speakers from the steps of the hotel in
this place They went told that slavery was
right lor Kansas, and ihat Whitefield v is the
true representative ufSqua'ter Sovereignty,
They wont and voted, almost before the .AI-.--ouri

As the day advanced and night approached,
they became moro noisy, turbulent and over

bespattered with mud, swearing, yelling,
winging. their hate, md asking, "whete are
the d d nbolitlonietel" "Let's cut the g d
d d whitu livered Yankees' throats!" At
that time one of our citizens, .Mr. Jamoe Fur

passed the hotel one ol tho Missonrians, who
wore a white slouched hat, a grey coat, and u
pair of greasy corduroy punts tucked into the
top of his mud covered cowhide boota, hailed
him, and asked him to come in and vote. Mr.
F. declined. The man then asked him to
"come and drink." lie declined that invita

hi ll "why he lid not vote!" Mr. F. said, "be
cause I du not consider the election legal."
"lie is one ul the g d d d Free Slate men!"
aaid the crowd, Mr. F, ul this time, seeing

he was too late. The crowd gathered uroiiui

"Lynth him!" "Tar and Feather tho d i

My Dr. Sir:
The abolition nnd snti-administralion pa

litical character in this territory. There is
a set of men here whose sole business is and
has been Irom the first, to furnish matter to
tti n eastern press, to enable the abolitionists
to inflame the public mind ngninRt the South
and the institution of slavery. They tre
'sent out here nnd are sustainod by liostcrn
' funds, at least they are not sustained here.
! To aid in the Election of Ohio and Penn
sylvania they charge mo with making a
pro-iluvery speech in Westport, Missouri.
1 Now there is not one single word of trulli in
this charge. It is a faleohood manufactured,
probably per order, out of whole cloth.
There is really no excitement here except
what the abolitionist! themselves seem to

"F.ternrtl hostility to every form of tyr

Thursday Morning, Oct, 18, 1855.
"Sacred to Ohio is Union of the
States."
Ohio All Right!
We havo again to congratulate our friends'
on a most signal victory acquired over the'
powers of despotism. After one of the
moat hotly contested enmoaigns, victory sits
upon our banner, and freedom still lias's rest
ing place in the homes of the noble Buck
eyes. The open enemy and secret foe have
both been overthrown, nnd the Repub
lican cause is triumphs it. We felt no fears
of the result, as ngainsl the Democracy, but
then were those who, It bite they pretended j
! friendship fur our cause, and a portion of our
ticket, wr.re lighting, nost bitterly, for the
defeat of our noble lender. Confusion is
theirs they have no pan in the great victory
' which has been achieved in our State. In
summing up the killed, ifonnded and miaeing, 1
their names will be found in tho list It is
: no use for them now to :ome in and say, "wo
! are glad MediU is defeited" for they are!
not glad, but, QstonieheC at the Republican
Strength, they desire to conciliate it, and
worm themselves into its good greceti. They
are perfectly understood.
For a day or two after the election things
looked gloomy the news was unfavorable'
Reports from the large cities went to show
that Chase was defeated. The cities uil
went against him: Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, Sandusky, Zanesville but when
the lightning brought in the reports from the
rural districts the regions where liberty finds
her genial home, the scale was turned. There
the inhabitants love liberty tliey inhale it
with every breath of Iho pu-e nir they
Worship it and, thank GodiMty vole for it', i
Ohio has covered herself all over with
glory. Sisters of the coijYr,,rT! LonU at

Gov. Shannon in Kansas.
We hail hoped that nil talk here, of Gov.
Shantum'e courae iu Kansas whs forever at
rest, and that lie would bu left to the uneuvi
able notoriety which he has acquired since
i lie became governor of that "colony of Mis
souri." lint il seems we were mistaken.
Sou e of his political friends iu Ohio, seeing
the desperate elate of things brought about
by liis Westport speech, wrote tojhiin.to send
ion mi I contradict his speech. In due course
of time, the mail brought hack letters to
"Mr. Stephen tiivs.-ingor," "Col. Samuel
Medary," and others, two ol which letters
may be found iu another column. We have
but n few words to say in relation to these
letters. In Ilia letter to Gressillger be says;
i "To ai I in the elections of t Ibio ai.d I'eunsylvanlo
thoy charge me with making a pro-alavory speech
iu westport, Missoui i "
And in the letter to Col, Mldaty, he ssys:
"This ri'inrt. no doubt, is put in circulation tc al-
led ihoaleetious iu Ohio and elsowbare.M
I Now this shows the Governor's ;eit(ire ig
norance of the Iwhi le subject. The West
I port pro-sluvery speech was never reported
' by an inie who had the sligbest interest iu
J the elections iu Ohio or Pennsylvania. It
j was reported by a Missouri gentleman, for the
St. Louis Demeernf, a protlavery paper. Ol
the attempt on the part of the (iov.'s fliends
10 disprove this speech, the St.. Louis Demo
crat speaks as follows:
"There can bu no qusstion BS to the truthfulness
I ol our report, mid that it was not only truibful, tun
' : taken dawn verbatim it litvnuiM as Bovarnor Bban-
I nun delivered it- We sent to Kansas, a our report'
ar,an accomplished aumographar, inordai io avoid
any mistakes or loaoeurevieo, and so highly have
! his reports been appreciated that ibey were not only
copied by nearly all territorial and bonier eewepa
: para, aa wall aa eatensivaly ibroofboui ibe United
Stales, but ware pronounced by lbs nwmbersol the
legislature thamsalvra far more autlitiiuiciliau any
others which wire published."
So that part of the subject has its quietus.
I But this is not all. A writer in the last week's
Uazett? enters the arena as tho champion
knight of the absent (Jovernor. With his
visor but half way up, we can nevertheless
. discover that be ia no less a personage than
Samuel M. AWty, Speaking of us, and
our remarks in reference to the Governor in
Kansas, he says:
' Nothing belter could ho expected from him, judjr
iiiK In. hi his aajmaSfafl noma true to the instincts
i of Us nature, and obsequious to tho akldiiuj ol bis
superiors ee the Southern Slavs t ) the will of his
Blaster.
I Oh, .Samuel, we cry, not peccavi hut wu's
erecordia ! Have mercy on us. That charge
is worn out, Sa uuel, it won't wil . liven the
"tender mercies" of the Gazette mau have
given it up.
If the Governor felt so indignant at the
report of bis speech as it first appeared, why
did lie nut contradict it at mice, and r.ot wait
for six weeks befere he said a word about it!
Hut, Samuel quotes from the Kansas Herald
0 show that Shstinon never tnstlc the speech;
let him quote from the "Squatter Sovereign." c
n reference ;o the same speech. Let him v
Uote from the Westport paper. Let him
tiiotn from any of the papers in the neighbor- I
loot! of Westport. t
But, says Sutnuel, "ho is represented as
andnrsing nil the nets of Kansas Legislature. ,
This lie did not do." Well, all we know ,
iboot it ia that Mr. Grcssinger published ,
what he said was ci rrect -eport of Shan- ' ,
non's speech in which occurred the fallowing ! t
language: L
"Your Legislative Assembly, that has just nd- i
loUriMO, has provided B code o I laws lor the Terri
tory, li i my duty as nil Etecutlva ontosi mid the i
iuty of every good oitlien, lo abide those laws so
long as they remain in Inrce. To maintain the '
Conatltuuon oi the United states; the organic law
if the Territoryt and the laws passed by tho Lcnis
lative Assembly, in conformity thereto, is nn colt i
Uiiii'Mi Imposed on tue by oath ot odice as well as hy
the duly lowe. to the Territory as a citizen, in com- 1
mon with others."
If that docs not "endorse the acts of the
i
Kunsas legislature" the English language
docs not furnish woids to do so.
Again, Samuel, with his characteristic bit
terness, calls this speech "an abolition DUO-
bear." We defy Samuel to furnish n report!,
of that speech written for an abolition paper! 1
But Samuel waxes eloquent; hear him:
"Now this is a clincher, coming from the
reliable source it does, a "strong jpro-slavery
paper," aid must be considered disinterested
testimony. It crushes the life b!ood out of
the abolition BUOBBAH, got up by the min
ions of the "Emigrant Aid Society," clothed
with supernatural hoirors, and paraded thro'
the country to frighten the timid nnd time
serving into the support of their sectional
nnd revolutl mary schemes and brands with
eternal infamy the hireling 0alumniators,Who
have nocked to Kansas to disturb the peace !
of its citizens and misrepresent 'the senti-!
mcnts ol tho newly-appointed Gov., before
he luiti set his lout upon the soil of Kansas.''
Phoebus! what a dizzy flight!
Don't, Samuel you might hurt the Emi
grant Aid Society's feelings!
But, seriously, We will be pleased to lenrn
that Gov. Shannon never made the Westport
speech, and will glaaly publish all evidence
for or against. As the mnttet at present
stands the weight of eyid?nce is against the
Governor, and here is a little more of the
same sort:
The Si. Louis Demo-rat publishes Shannon's
letter to (Jul. Medary, nnd makes the follow
ing remarks:
"We have no disposition, as we havo til
ready stated, to put words in (J iv. Shannon's
inoulli that he did not utter; and although we
are assured by our reporter that ihe speech as
beloro given by us wis correct, yet we afford
the (Jovernor the benefit of his own denial to
which he is certainly ei titlcd. We shall
forthwith take measuree to have the matter
thoroughly investigated at Westport, snd
shall then either present the proofs or with
draw the statement."
The Kansas correspondent of this same
p'aper, who reported Shannon's speech, hear
ing that its authenticity had been denied
wrote to the Democrat as follows:
'I not ced in the Republican, of October
1st, thut Mr. 'II, C, P,' its Westport corre
spondent, alleges that my report of Gov.
Shannon's speech is incorrect. I am glad of
this denial. As soon as I arrive at Westpcrt
2 shall send you prools which, I have no dot. lit
Will set this uiniter at rest, and prevent thu
Governor, the Union, or Journal of Com
merce from denying or 'suspecting' the ac
curacy of any ol my subsequent reports, I
was waiting for an official, or semi-official
denial uf my St momenta before I advanced
my proofs. At present 1 will merely el-ate,
from my own personal knowledge that .
(3, '.' did not hear one tylloble of Governor
Shannon's ipeeck, and was not even in the city
for at least half an hour after its conclusion;
und that ii ly report ol it was read in manu
script by .several of thejntost ultra pro-slavery
citizens ol Westport, Si pronounced correct.''
The Governor's friends, Samuel, in par
ticular, will bear in mind that they have to
deal with men in thie matter, and men too,
who aay nothing but what they nre willing
j to stand up to. The Gov. is in a tight place
ami further reveletione will be looked for
1 with interest.
To Campaign Subscribers.

the paper, or in'orm us by letter. We hope
tliey will all continue, und we will uso our
utmost endeavors to make the CsaoBtCtl a

A New Volume.
We last week commenced upon the eiuhth
volume of ihe Chronicle, anil we are glad
lo bo able to elate that our list is larger, and
our prospects more flattering than ever be
fore. We cannot but feel grateful for the
liberal support of our friends, but while doing
so we are reminded that there are a number
who have never paid us cne cent in all the
aseM yeatrt. We think it is hut a Bimple act
of justice to usk those who know themselves
to be in arrears to come up and settle. In a
week or two we will make out the accounts
of persons who aro more than a year in our
debt, and forward their, to Jlheir address. It
is time our books were squared, and we shall
make an early sffort lo have it doue.
(-A. J. Van Vokheb retires from the
Athens Messenger, and is succeeded by G.

Vorhes from the corps editorial, as he was a
talented and worthy member. May succeas

coming editor, und wish him success among
iho noble Republicans ol Old Athens.
The Virginia Iron Works.
Our friend Dr. H. HOLMWJtTi ot uie nrm
if jMitfi llolloway, Si Co., tit Benwood, Vn.,
vas present at the lair last week with some
pecimens of nails, made at the Virginia
Works, which wcro considered, by all who
aw them, as being of tho best quality.
I'hey nre smoothly, and regularly finished,
md mndo of tho beat matotial. They are
low ai our office where they may be examin
;d. Being always interested in western
uanufactures we made inquiry, and learned
he following facts in reference to the ca
pacity nnd extent of the establishment. j
riiere are over 200 hands employed con- j
ttautly, making, weekly, from 1600 to 2000 ,
tegs of nails, of various 6izes. The entire
expense of the establishment, including coal,
:.re, labor, &.c, ranges from 1)1500 to 81800
svery week. The nails made in the Virginia
Works command the highest price in market,
nnd always find ready sale.
One of the most commendable features in
Lhe economy of this firm is the jcrection of
dwelling houses for tho accommodation of
their employees. They have, already, CO
dwellings erected for thisjpurpose.which.as the
Works have not been in operation quite three
years, is doing admirably ,and gives unmistak
able evidence of prosperity arising from good
management. Such establishments are the
life of a State, and a country, as they nre the
principal sources of our wealth, and power.
When wo manufacture at home every thing
necessary to our support as a people, then,
nnd not until then will we be truly indepen
dent. But while we mustl drown out the
furnace fires in factories at our doors, nnd
send to England for their pauper labor to
build our railroads, and other improvements,
we cannot look for that feeling of pride in
our country and her resources, which real in
depencler.ee always engenders.

OBITUARY.
Mrs Tirza A. Ramsey, widow of Dr. W.
H. Ramsey, and youngest daughter of the
Hon. Benj Ruggles, departed this life on the
i!tith ult., in lhe 3'lth year of iter age, at ihe
residence of her father.
The deceased was truly nmiuble Jin all the
relutiocs of life, as a daughter, a wife, a
mother, sister, u friend. Never have we
known any one who was more conscientious
in trying to walk uprightly before God and
man. She received her first religious im
pressions in the JSabbath School connected
with the Presbyterian church in this place,
in which she was for several years a very
useful and much beloved teacher. She unit
ed with the church when the Rev. Joseph
Smith, D, D, was its Paster, and ins for
many years been a worthy and exemplary
member- During the last years of her life
j I she was a very (great sufferer; having a
i disease which baffled all 'medical skill, and
' I from whose agonising pains she received no
s j relief but w hat wus produceii by the influence
1 1 of Morphine, when greatly paineti 6he would
: sometimes say '0 tny dear Savior let me
. I gently down IO lhe grave." But sho bore
all her sull'erirgs with patience Si submission
1 to the will o! God.
The death ol ho - husband last wfnter near
New Orleans whec he had gone for his
health, coming upon her suddenly and un
1 axpeetedly Wai a very severe shock upon her
I delicate constitution, and doubtless haitened ,
her dissolution. But her pains und lours are
r 1 now all over. The Saviour in whom she
-' trusted for salvation, and to , horn she looked
- j an.t prayed to come and take her home, haa
. I taken ber to himself. '! wonder"., she said
! "why he dont come and take me!" Your
8 I mansion is not yet ready," said one, "and
I you ure not ready for it" "yes," sl e said, "I
1- dreum almost every night thut my mansion is
e not yet ready but 1 long to have him come."
J Her experience upun her death bed waa
I not uniform, sometimrs a cloud was upon her
: ! mind, and at other limes all was bright, she
'" lamented that she hud not done more for
Christ when in health, "und said if she had
to live her lile over again she would try and"
n live a more holy life."
Her remains at Iter own request we;e taken
lo Muunt Vernon and buried beside her hua
r bund. She has left behind her just one child
) a very annble and interesting little boy, jwho
has lost both his parents in the short space
of eight months, God, Jwo hope, Will be a
father to bin.
However painful it is to pan with dear
friends yet it must be some consolation to
her friends, and especially to her parente
(who saw her suffer so much and who nursed
" her with the greatest tenderness and care) to
1 know thut she is now free from all her suf
. ferings, and forever with the Lord iu the.
Pa.adise above
"Where 110 thorn the foot e'er pierces
W lere the heart ne'er heaves a sigh
Where in white we'll walk wi.hJesus," j
All our loved companions by. ( 1
And iu reach it, will be a privilege to die."'
