Two Democratic Mayoralty Convention? were
held at Tammany Hall laut Bight One wan led by
Daniel K. Sickles and nominated Fernando Wood
for Mayor; the other wan presided over by Recorder
Smith, and Nominated James S. Libby (ex-Alder?
man of the Second Ward and proprietor of Love
joy's Hotel) tor Mayor. The Wood party call the
Libby men bogus, and the Libby men return the
compliment. It is reported that the Sachems of
the Tumniany Society will be called upon to de?
cide which is regular. If the opposition to Tam?
many Hall will unite upon some energetic, honest
man of the people?some one who is not a politi?
cian by trade?the voters will settle the matter
without troubling the Sachems.
It would seem by the accounts from Kansas
which we publish to-day, that the scheme of Marcy,
Gushing and Davis, of giving the Rorder Ruffian.*
of Missouri free scope for " wiping out" the Frrvv
State men of Kansas, does not succeed; and that,
if they wish to accomplish that favorite object,
they must now take hold in person and do it by
means of the United States troops. It would
appear that the Border Ruffians, with those some
time since introduced into the Territory from
Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama, at well as
the fresh army raised in Missouri by Stringfellow
and Atchison, in spite of the cruel murders and
villainous outrages which they have perpetrated,
have totally tailed in their leading object, and have
been driven out of the Territory, or back to its
extreme borders in total disgrace.
A new letter which we publish to-day from one of
the Free-State men of Osawuttaniie, about com?
pletes the account of the attack upon that town.
The result of Atchison's campaign, at the head of
fifteen hundred men with eight pieces of artillery,
may be summed up pretty much as follows: Forty
houses find a steam saw-mill, two stores and the
post-office and mail-bugs burnt at Osawatta
inie; three Free-Soil men killed, five wounded
and se\eu taken prisoners, two of whom
were afterward barbarously murdered in cold
blood. On the Border-Ruffian side, five wounded.
[ In addition, they bumed the house of Mr. Jones, a
civilized Indian living under the protection of the j
United States on the Ottawa reserve, stole from
him 01,000 in silver, and destroyed his property to
the amount of several thousand dollars more, beside
attempting to kill a sick mau in tfio house by cuttiug
hir throat, an enterprise in which they did not suc?
ceed. They also attacked a house at Prairie City,
but took to flight without doing any mischief, up<>u
being told by a woman that there were a hundred
men in it, whereas there were but five. Upon the
approach of a few hundred men under Lane, the
whole force rapidly retreated till they found thoin
aelvea within the Missouri border, where they have
since dwindled almost to nothing.
There is one feature of the attack upon Osawat
tamie, to which we desire to call the particular at?
tention of Secretary Marcy. From his recent in
sti actions telegraphed to Governor Geary, it would
appear that while he looks upon murder and arson
?at least the murder of Free-State men, aud the
burning of their houses?with perfect composure,
if not with secret satisfaction, he regards an attaok
upon a post-office as a horrible crime. Now, Mr.
Marcy will please to take notice (or, if he does not,
the public will) that in the attack upon Osawatta
mie, the mail, which had just arrived, was seized
upon, and the letters broken open and destroyed.
The unfortunate town of Leaven worth, where
the greater part of the Free-State men were of but
a half-and-half sort, has been the greatest sufferer.
Two men have certainly been killed there, and
probably more. Nothing has yet been heard of the
Rev. Mr. Nute, and there is great reason to fear
that he has been murdered. More than a hundred
persona, including probably much the larger part of
the active business men, have been tTriven away, '
leaving the town in a state of desolation; the re
maiuing population, in dread of an imaginary attack
from Lane, and exposed to the robberies and plun?
der of a body of ruffians led by one Miller.
Of the exploits of Acttug-Governor Woodson
and his troops ccIIccDkI at Leoompton, we only
know that they have burned all th* houses of Free
State men within their reach, aud have seized aa
prisoners all the Free-State men on whom they
could lay their hands. They have, however, been
held in check by the forces at Lawrence and To
iH-ka. Cov. Geary arrived at Leavenworth on the
Mb. We shall soon see what he intends to do.
The Free State forces, it appears, detained only
one of the Santa F6 trains, the ptoprietor of which
is a person who has boeu very active against them.
?The other two traius they allowed to pass, though
they might plausibly enough have detained the
whole as a pledge for the Urge amount of Kansas
property seized and now detained in Missouri.
It would be absurd to look to the drunkard Atch?
ison, to the drunkard Shannon, or to the drunken
rabble of Missouri, or even to the miserable I'resi
tleot Tierce, who, perhnps. can scarcely be held
more accountable than they?it would be absurd to
look to any of these as the really responsible par?
ties for the atrocious crimes against both public and
private rights, the rights of citizens aa well at the
ordinary rights of humanity, of which Kansas is
now the scene. Neither the ruffians of Missouri,
nor President Pierce, heartless aud soulless dema
gogue und doughface m he ii, would hare dared to
venture, would have ever thought even of ven?
turing upon roch unheard-of atrocities, had they
not been mitigated to it, and encouraged and -up
ported in it, by persona of vastly more social and
political consequence and influence than them
?elves. That which haa been done and ia sow
doing in Kansas, is briefly this: A Missouri mob
takes violent posaession of the polls, elects a pre?
tended legislature, and through the medium of
that pretended Legislature enacts a bloody and
atrocious code; and that same mob are now in
Kansas with arms and torches in thair hands, mur?
dering the Free-State men, burning down their
towns and honses, and driving them, stripped of
all their property, from the Territory, under pre?
tense of enforcing order, sustaining the authority
of tho United States, and putting in execution the
laws of tbe Territory !
Now, admitting that the first violation of the
rights of the people of Kansas, by driving them
from the polls and returning as elected a body of
bogus legislators, was solely tbe idea and act of the
Border Ruffians themselves, without any encour?
agement or instigation from Washington or else?
where?which is more, we fear, than the truth of
facts will warrant?yet other persons, by upholding
and sustaining aa a legal body the bogus Legislature
tbua infamously imposed upon Kansas, and their
infamous laws as a binding code, have made them
?elves the responsible parties for all the subsequent
outrages. And who are the parties who have thus
taken tip. n themselves this terrible responsibility?
a responsibility to which the people of these United
States will most strictly hold them? These re?
sponsible parties, these indorsers of the Missouri
invaders and their bogus legislature, are the Cabi?
net of President Pierce, the Border-Ruffian major?
ity in Die Semite of the United States, and, to a
still greater degree than either of these, the Cincin?
nati Convention and the politicians who support
the nominee and the platform of that Convention.
It is only the confidence of being sustained by, and
the hope of giving pleasure and satisfaction to,
these influential parties, that have emboldened the
Border Ruffians of Missouri to enter upon the fero?
cious, bloody work in which they are now engaged.
They are but re-acting the part of the servants of
Henry IL, who, in the hope of pleasing their King
and master, waylaid and murdered Thomas a
Beckct: and the politicians, to please and gratify
whom murders and other outraged an* now being
perpetrated in Kansas, may rest assured that be?
fore they ever agaiu can be recognized as Christians
or political leaders, the same humble, barefooted
penance which the proud and powerful Henry II.
was obliged to pay at the shrine and grave of St.
Thomas a Becket to purge his conscience of that
murder, the people of the United States will force
thein to pay at the graves of the martyrs of Kansas.
The Cabinet at Washington, the Senate of the
United States, the Cincinnati Convention, and the
politicians that support the Platform and the can?
didate of that ('(invention, will each and all, and
ever) individual of them, be held responsible for the
horrible deeds lately done and now being done in
Kansas; but there are four individuals, all northern
men and all doughfaces, upon whom the force
of the public indignation may be expected to fall
with a weight peculiarly crushing. These four
persons are, Marcy and Cushing of tho Cabiuct,
Douglas of the Senate, and Buchanan, the nominee
of the Cincinnati Convention?no longer (aa he him?
self declares) the man James Buchanan, but ?Walk?
ing, writing, speaking automaton, to which the Cin?
cinnati Platform selves as intellect and conscience,
aud which has neither wish, hope, inteution, or sen?
timent beyond those embodied in that document.
Pierce may be let oflf on the saore of imbecility,
natural or superinduced; but these four able men
cannot sot up the excuse of foOj. They have gone
into this Kansas business with theireyes open; and,
let them bo assured, they will be held to a respon?
sibility at which bolder men than they might well
tremble.
Our readers have already been reminded that
Missouri aud the Border Ruffians lie directly be?
tween us and Kansas, so that the first tidings of
all conflicts or outrages in that devoted Territory
emanate from Pro-Hlavery sources, and reach us
through Pro-Slavery channels. Even The Missouri
Di-mocrat forms no exception to this remark, since,
though its correspondent* mean to be fair and its
editors are just, yet their telegraphic news is
mainly made up ot the stories set afloat by the Ruf?
fians in Kansas or hovering on her border. Under
such circumstances, we have no alternative but to
publish the accounts an they reach us, fully be?
lieving that our dispatches and Missouri bulletins
which are calculated to discredit the Free-State
men, will in due time be corrected by more authen?
tic advices, iaeruding the letters of our own cor?
respondents. It is hard to be obliged to give the
falsehoods of the Ruffians ten or twelve days' start
of the truth, but we see no practicable alternative.
The journals and politicians in vogue with the
Ruffians pursue a different eouiae. They print the
first Pro-Slavery bulletins, and carefully suppress
those sf the Free-State men; sod when the former
are proved false in any respect, they use thi$ cirtum
stance to discredit the true advices from Kansas and
induce a btlitf that there is little or no trouble there?
thus making the falsehoods or mistakes of their
Missouri confederates do double duty. Thus
The Seu-London Star says:
" Old Bn.wn and young Brown, who were so badly
'killed' in Kansas lately, per telegraph, by the 1 Pro
Slavery ' party hare both turned up 'alive.' They
Ktvc not in Ihr ' buttle' at all. The people are begin?
ning to IJWwtllslS tbe-.- Kansas lies, aud, as Dr. Oi Is
sa.ui tho Onio Republican editor told him, he wouldn t
give a d-n a yard for them.''
Now " Old Browu " and one or more of his sons
uere engaged in tbe defeuse of Osawattamie agaiust
a ten-fold force of Border Ruffians, who routed
the Free-State men, killed several, wounded more,
and sacked and burnt the town. The victors re?
ported that th?y bad killed " Olu Brown " and one
of his sons; but it seeins that they wok mistaken
?at least with regard to the former. He probably
lost his hat in fleeing across the < ?sage, which gave
the Ruffians the impression that he had been shot
aud had sunk, leaving his hat floating ou the stream.
His son, the last reports say, teas killed, but tfie
father appears to have been unaware of the fact
when he wrote to his wife from Lawrence on the
'2d inst. No Free-State dispatch or letter haa re?
ported hi* death; yet The Shir would fain improve
this Border Ruffian mistake to the discredit even of
the fact that there was a conflict at Osawuttauiie
at all!
?80 The .illxinw Argu* seize* ou the fact that
lawyer Phillips of Ieavenworth, recently murdered
in his own house for the crime of being a Free
State man, was in one dispatch termed a corres?
pondent of The Tribi ne?a very natural mistake,
since hundreds in Kansas and Western Missouri
know that one of our Kansas correspondents is
I tibmed Phillips, is a wann Free-State am, aad ass,
in the discharge of his duties, apent considerable
tune in I>iavenworth?to diacredit all account! of
outrage and murder in Kansas?as if it made any
difference, aa to this, whether the Mr. Phillips
killed by the Ruffians at Leavenworth were or were
not our cnrreiapoodent. We exposed the error of
the telegraphic dispatch on this point simultaneous?
ly with its appearance in the journals of the At?
lantic States.
?So Mr. Ely Moore (Indian Agent) took ad?
vantage of the fact that another KU Moore had been
reported guilt) of an outrageous assault on a
Free-State man in Kansas (see Investigating Com?
mittee's Report, page 903,) to deny most pompously
that he bad committed any such outrage, to assert
that The Tkibine had no correspondent stationed
at Lecf tijpton (where no known correspondent of
this paper could live a week), and to assert that the
Kansas correspondence of this and other Eastern
papers was manufactured in their own offices!
Comment would seem superfluous.
?The P>uchane*>r8 are sweeping the votes of Mis?
souri and all the South on the strength of what
they are doing and confidently expected to do to
make Kansas a Slave State. We concede them the
vote of every State south of Chesapeake Bay,
knowing why they get them. Now if they can
make the North believe that there is no such region
as Kansas, no effort to subjugate it to Slavery, and
no violence, outrage or murder committed on its
Free-State settlers, they may secure votes enough
fin m the Fiee States to elect their men. Let us
see how they do it.
A great indignation was raised of late?and very
justly, too?at the Cooly trade in which some Boa
ton merchants were engaged, and w hich was shown
to be an infamous system of decoying the unfortu?
nate Coolies by false representations to embark for
the West Indies and South America, where, to pay
the cost of their transportation, they were sold into
a cruel slavery.
A very similar trade is carried on here in New
York, of which the victims are not Chinese, but
native-born Americans?and that without attract?
ing, as far as we have seen, any comments from the
Press, or any interference on the part of Gov?
ernment. It was but two or three days ago that a
steamer sailed from this port having packed on
?oard from four to five hundred miserable, deluded
w retches, seduced to go to Nicaragua under pre?
tense of being made independent farmers and land?
holders, but in reality as recruits to Walker's army
?sold to him for Nicaragua scrip by speculators of
this city. They are sent out, as is perfectly well
known from the statements of runaway fugitives
from that bondage, to become Walker's slaves to
nil intents and purposes, compelled to serve w ithout
pay?since the scrip in which they are pretended
to be paid is worth no more than so muoh blank
paper?and liable to be shot in cold blood should
they attempt to run away.
The farce for some time enacted of pretending to
put a stop to the enlistment of recruits in this city
for Walker's hllibustering army has?as might nat?
urally Ik? expected since the author of the Ostend
Manifesto has hem nominated as the Administration
candidate for the Presidency?been totally aban?
doned by the Administration at Washington. In?
deed, it would be strangely inconsistent in Presi?
dent Pierce and his Cabinet to interfere to prevent
Walker from doing that in Nicaragua which they
are themselves attempting to do in Kansas?forcing
by the arm of intrusive ruffians a foreign and hate?
ful despotism upon the resident population, whose
attempts to resist this outrage, or even to remon?
strate against it, are denounced aud punished as
insurrection, treason and rebellion. Indeed, wo
owe Walker the justice to say that, violent, cruel and
unscrupulous as his administration in Nicaragua
has been, he has done nothing to be compared with
the atrocities perpetrated in Kansas by the. Border
Ruffians, acting under the sanction and with the
open support of President Pierce and his Kansas
officials.
The CkarU*ton Standard has a letter from Atchi
son, Kansas, which shows the purpose with which
the invaders of that Territory from Carolina, Geor?
gia and Missouri have entered upon the last foray
against the Free-State settlers. We quote:
'? We are ordered to march to-morrow, and I think
will bs) stationed on the Xcbrnska line. Reports have
reached ua ti ? luy of a tight in that direction, in which
fifty Abolition ist? were killed and the rest driven back.
Tina in almost too good to be true.
" Oov. Shannon lias nwigncd (his sneconsor not bar?
ing arrived yet), and Hon. Woodson is now Governor
pto tern. By reliable information we hear that he has
said that, as SOOBI as a sufficient force can bo collected
to warrant the move, he, as Governor, will issue a
proclamation declaring the Territory in a state of in?
surrection, and take the Jit/d. The United States
troops are stationed at [?6t)omp<OSI to protect the Gov?
ernment property, but will not interfere in the fight.
CoL Titus has not been killed, but wa-s badly wounded,
and a prisoner. His rau.-om was obtained by the res?
toration of a piece of canton, taken by the Palinetta
Kiflrs at Lawrence. il enforcements uro dailv arriv
bay, and I do not think 'twould be advisable for us to
take the field with less than .':-,/ tkouaand mm. Wo
nre very badly supplied with cannon, having only a
few six-pounders, and the enemy have a greater num
ber and larger pieces. Our only chonoo will be to
take their s from Ihem.
" Wo are regularly in for it note, and in a few davs
will actually l>e engaged in a civil war?which will," I
prtsuu.e, lerult in a dissolution of the Union."
This writer clearly shows that the invaders of
Kansas anticipate the dissolution of the Union as
the result of the civil war which they delight to
find themselves " regularly in for," and that
Woodson, the acting Governor of the Territory, is
an accomplice with them in the conspiracy. In
other words, the power of the Federal (rovern
ment in Kansas is uted with a view to destroy the
Union. That, however, is but a small part of the
crimes of which the Pierce Administration and the
" Democratic " party are guilty.
Some of our friends seem to be laboring under
the pleasing delusion that the Presidential election
is already over, and Fremont chosen. After the
Late result in Maine, they aro confident that Penn?
sylvania,, New -Jersey, Illinois and Indiana must ne?
cessarily go the same way. This is a gross error. It
may prove fatal unless it is extinguished. No doubt
every one of these States can be brought to give
its vote for Fremont, but this will not be done by
folding your arms, or by shouting glory over Maine.
The same work which has borne such fruits in
Muine must be performed in these other States, or
they will be loet. Thia is the sober truth. We
advise our friends to lay it to heart and a ?? accord?
ingly. Smiling complacency and words of exulta
tion are very well in their place. Let us see to it
that we have some good reatou to indulge in them
after the 4th of November.
7hi Carolina Timer, in its account of the Maine
Election, speaks in the following complimentary
terms of the Northern Democrats, whom the
slaveholders are glad enough to use, just as they
are to use their negroes?at the same time feeling
and expressing about an equal contempt for both:
?'The contest was chiefly between the Black Repub?
licans and what little there may be of regard for the

T* Iks Editor* of Tkt Katumai Intelliotnttr.
Gcmtlkmin : I have felt much reluctance in a ldrs>
ing the public by letter in regard to the party potts
of the day. I desired not to be suspected of \>*r>vL*
my own opinions with tho expectation of innucrjeaj
thoae of others. But these opinions havo beou mat
I the subject of conjecture and doubt in a portion of at
public press, and simple justice, to myself require
that the course I have determined to pursue in i egad
to residential candidate* should bo plainly uueV
stood. By publishing these few line* you will sat
only do me this justice, but relieve me from a burden?
some correspondence with persoinal friends who hats
impiiied, and who have a right to kuow, my deteraw
nation.
I am too much out of, health to become the aot'w
partisan of any candidate tor the Presidency, eeaJ
were I anxious to be such. But the truth is, I ktsi
long since resolved to be the partisan of uo man, *?
follow the conscientious convictions of my own jsop
moot alone, and, no matter which of the Candidus?
may be successful, to support him in the Sonate last
that I think right, and to oppoao him there in all tkst
I think wrong, untrammeled by party ties. My object
will bo to be true to the country and its iriterw?,
knowing no other pol.-star aa the guide of my sew
duct.
While the Whig party waa In existence aa a natioasl
organization, after the atraighteat sect of that party I
lived a YVhiir. Bui the parties have now taken uca a
direction, and the divisions and distractions in oat
country have become so alarming, that I no iouger fed
n: >m If at libelty to follow the dictatea of sects or fa*
lions. I will at a moment's notice help any set of rasa
that stand by the country, and oppose any that refoaV
to do ?o. I)uring the *moll remainder of the d?p?
which I have to devote to the public servkw, I will k?
hoping nothing r
nothing
because
of the country. I forbear to coniment now upoa tar
can.-, s which led to tho destruction of the great national
party to which I adhered with unfidterii.g fidelity wails
it existid. I watched over it* cradi., and ( haa*
followed its hearse. It did not fall by my baud, tuail
have deeply mourned at its fmural.
Let me add that I have beam so long in the pubes
councils that I see no necessity of pinning my faith sai
k-dging my future course upon the policy, tew
dopt, d by any of the. distinguished gentlemen ?*?
re Presidential candidate*, for each ot whom I trartl
M and dtuire to express all pmpttr nwpeet I ahal k*
a candidate for no public honors or favors that suitf
th. m can lnntow. If the position I have thus sasBIJ
be deemed by any one liabio to objection aa m? ?*
unprecedented, I have now only to add in defense sf*
that the condition of the coiintrv is at this time
tame character, and, a* I humbly think, requires ?*
my hands. To the kind friends who have itpbjssis?
