Rui (JORRFSPTMTMIFF. jb'KOM KA NSAS: D jrn yjinmlcnco of the Potter Journal.j ORESCENT HILL, KANSAS, I Stli uu., 2Gth, li>s/ j Siuof the date of my las£, a change, a gloomy ch ii-re, has e.une over the spirit of i.iv drea as here i:i Kansas. Satan, i'\ri on rha abut, his been stirring up ins iiibre'; to their iylerual work /X t. the (T"pekit ('oir eni'on, tlie prospect s.-eiued bright and cheering for ant-ace.- lii 1 and glorious triumph of the cause of baniaiiity ; n<;thing seemed ii£ei'i>arv hut to take possession of the Territorial Gov ernment, which under the fair promises ,ct Gov. Walker, seemed to he an easy ( lask. But no sooner did the Border Uetuou.N loam the purposes of the people of Kansas, than ihcy went to work to can hesitate for one moment' about repu diating thcui utterly. The old game of arresting men for , treason is again to be tried; a number of our citizens here are indicted, myself in- 1 eluded, for participating iu a meeting six- i i on months ago, which resolved not to . pay the "Bogus taxes. What the result may he X care not, 1 shall nofc move uiio jot or tittle from my position. My mind is fully maie tjp to meet, the issue, be it, 1 yrhat if way. 1 would scorn to obey the I j>ogijs laws in any particular, for I should i feci that I had done a mean cowardly act. And L am well assured that L stand not alone. \V r e, the people, will resist the internal usurpation unto death, if need be, thoqgu it should split the Union into fragments too small to bo discerned with out the aid of glasses. What is the U uiuii? j It should be a glorious compact for the 1 good of the people, but Las it not become tne instrument of cruel oppression ? It may not be uninteresting to the! readers of the JOURNAL to know some thing of L. D. Williams, better known here as "Bogus Williams."' He is de spised by every honest man in the com munity. He is fully in the confidence of the Border villains, and is frequently ab sent, as is supposed, iu council with them, and doubtless reports whatever transpires in this community. When there is a crowd of men collected in discussion of political affairs, he may be seen hoveriug around, intently listening to what may be said. Some months ago the people here jpnoiated certain officers to settle diffi culties ; a trial was hue] before one of them not long since. Bordial!y invited to participate iu the meeting; • J&frJ :r A\ e would recommend to the Township Committees to hold Republi can gatherings iu the various school dis tricts in the county during the cusuiug four weeks he fere election. Speakers can be had from this place at any time. Therefore, we say hold meetings and in fuse a little spirit into the eContent. Do not rely on that " majority of' "s'>," but go to v 'ho ill 1 ' Eie Presidency) and still exists ; in Kansas, underline Constitution oj the I'nitcd StofeSy <4 TliatSiaej'y may exist in any State tiiat chooses to continue or institute it, is undoubted. That it dqe§ in half uf the States of the Union, is manifest. That this half of the States of the Repub lic have as much interest in the common, >- territory as -that h.df which possesses m v slaves, is admitted. Then, whether tin is negation of a portion by the non-slave holding States shall be stronger than tin affirmation of all th-e slaveholdjng R and the aqniescence of a portion os th< 11 non-slaveholding, in relation to the affair; e of a Territory, is one question; aip; s whether the people of that Teiritorj e alone shall or shall not decide the mat ' ter for themselves, is another; and with e in these is comprises the whole problem.' There are two facts stated in the above „ that should make the honest supporter: of Buchanan blush to the ey livws. — Fiist that" Buchanan lias crossed the llu = bicon," and taken the extreme Southern . position, that Slavery exists in Kansas = . under the constitution of the United States. This verities the strongest as sertions of the R publican press during the campaign as to what Buchanan would do if elected. But the second assertion is more hu iiiiiiufjng than this. This letter states in ai her ambiguous terms, that the North supporters of Buchanan aquiesee in the Slavery-extention scheme of the South. This is doubtless true as to the leaders <>f sham Democracy in the free States, but we believe there are many thousand voters in this State who supported Hu ehaiian under the belief that lie was in favor of freedom and justice. These will repudiate him and his party just as quick as they discover that lie has thrown off the disguise heretofore worn, and is the open alley of SI very-ex tension. Sciitliein Slavery. Every paper published in the South, contains the evidence of the barbarity of ? America. The advertising columrjs of the most obscure weekly sheet, will con vince any person with a spark of human ity in him, that "Slavery is the sum of all villainies." Take the following, which is cut from the SptingScld (Mo.) Advertiser of Sep t tcmber Ist: Runaway Xegro. N r oriCK is heroby given that I, the under signed Sheriff of Newton county, Mo., hive in my possession in the jai in the town of Neosho, in said county of N •wtoa. a Nugrq man calling himself FOAAC UUADLKV, ami says lie is free. Naid negro man is about 31 years, copper color, broad round face, about 5 feet S or 10 inches high. heavy built, weighs about 180 or 185 pounds, had on when arrest ed a short blue blanket coat, white shirt with pleated bosom, soldier pants, black satin vest worn out. black soft fur hat well worn, and common shots. , Trie owner of said Negro man ia hereby re quired to make application to me for said Ne gro man within three months and pay all charges incurred on aceouut of said Negro man : and further to comply with the requisi tions of the law in such cases, or otherwise said Negro man will be sold at public auction for cash in hand, at the court house door in the town of Neosho, in said county of Newton and State of Missouri, on MONDAY" the 2d dav of NOVEMBER. 1857. 11. JENNINGS, Sheriff of July 21, 1857. Newton county Mo. Bo the worst barbarians go farther than ° that ? Ilere is one, Isaac Bradley, who asserts that he is a Freeman, arrested in the pursuit of happiness, by the Sheriff! of Newton County Mo., who docs not pre-! | tend that the prisoner has committed any I crinie, or that he has any evidence that he is other than a Freeman. This Sher iff, under the despotism which Slavery ■ everywhere creates, seizes an innocent man and throws him iqtojail. Then he: calls on his master to come forward and | pay all charges \f ithin three months, or the man will he sold, so that if he is not now a Slave, he sqoa will be. Having j no master, as lie asserts, it is impossible that one should pay the jail fees, and hence there is no escape for him.- •: And this is the institution which Presi dent Buchanan and his party have under taken to force into Kansas. Will the people submit to such an outrage ? Republicans, to lour Duly. We find the following timely and good i advice in the A. J. Tribune, of Satur day last. Y\ e hope Republicans through out the State will give it heed. "We have already alluded to the can 1 vass in PENNSYLVANIA as presenting the siugular anomaly of a great party devolv ing the entire labor and responsibility of ' upholding its flag and defending its faith upon a single man. Hardly a mppth of ! that canvass remains; yet up tq this hoqr 1 the Republican standard would seem from this distance to have been upbournc by David Wilmot alone. Now Mr. Wilinot is an excellent debater, and, if he were omnipresent, so that lie could speak in a j dozen different places at onqe, he might ido all that is required. As it is, he can not speak within reach of half the people i who would gladly hear him before the , day of election. Meantime, his antago nist, (who pleads the vote of Lis State j Committee as his excuse for not meeting Mr. Wilmot on the stump) is backes by other orators, and the efforts of active powerful Committees, and a most unscru pulous press, Col. Forney's new Phila delphia "organ taking tup lead in his sup port. With Wilmot aud Packer travers ing the State together aud speaking to the same audiences, we should fear noth ing; but with Wilinot speaking alone for .the Right, aud Packer aided by all the in appliances of a great and disciplined par io tv which has the Federal appointment: >- and the Federal Treasury in its grasp, the e odds are too great, and we call on the Re s, publicans of every county in Pcansylv a e uia to organize tor a quiet biR determined ■•sj canvass henceforth to the election. Only J let the light shine and the darkness will y cease to be felt. If Dr. (fihon's book t- alone were in the bauds of every voter in i- the State, it seems impossible tbat a ma jority would vote to sustain the authored 0 the heartless and cruel letter to Prof. Sil linuiu on the state of affairs in Kansas, — It is only among those who are iguurant ~ ' of the material facts, and who do not know i-1 that, Mr. Buchanan has himself appointed ni' 1 as well ::s retained in office the master s I spirits of the Border Ruffian robbers and murderers —including some whose indi vidual hands are red with the blood ot innocent Free State men —that his letter r, tp Sijljman can be deemed triumphant.— u Ipul o:je hqjf tljQ Republicans of Peuu jsylyau taken TjjK TUIBUNE during the 1 rt two or three years and lent it freely Ito their neighbors, that letter Would suf s See to iusjure the ijef 4 gf ifs iqjthoraud l> his partisans in the pending content, ej "There io yet time to do the needed work. If there be a lack of faith or of 1 heart ou the Republican sicje, it is con fined to the politicians —the People do ' not share it. Cjeij. Packer is cxeeeding -1 jy vulnerable with regard to the Canal - jobs aut| s<|qaudcrit}gs of the last ten 3 yours in Pennsylvania, aqj a simple, brief expose of his connection ft-qli atqj profile from these jobs would set thuqsaijd.B ac \tively against him who are now indiffer ] cut. The attempt of the allies of South ■ Carolina and Mississippi to raise votes 011 the assumption that \Yilnot is a Free- Trader is an insult to the popular intelli gence, which only needs to he met to re coil on its authors. Whatever may be P Mr. Wilmot's individual notions of Po litical Economy, his election would he quite other {hftn Free-Trade triumph, and tliis the authors of the cry that he is . a Free-Trader do perfectly know. Mr. ? Wilmot was nominated aud is supported as the champion of Slavery Restrictions, and as such lie stands or falls; hut his election would liberate Pennsylvania from the toils of the political gamblers who, in opposition pj their owu convictions as well i as hers, have dragged her behind the tri umphal car of Calhouuism for most of {lie last thirteen years, merely that they might 1 riot in the spoils of office. It is high time that they were rebuked for this betrayal, and the opportunity uow presents itself. "We close by cutreatiug every Penn sylvania Republican tn do his utmost/or the election of Wilmot and his able and worthy associates on the Republican State Ticket. 111 a year of relative apa thy, little effort oiteu secures great re j suit." To BE SoT.N.—The Secretary of the Interior, owing to many applications of late made for portions of what are known as the Choctaw Orphan Bands, in Missis sippi, now held in trust by the Govern ment, has directed that proposals be re ceived for them until November next, , when they are to he sold to those bidding highest. That is to say, such of them as bring more than the appraisement made in 1 *b&. The rest will then be held sub ject to sale at the appraised value.— Xeie York Tribune. llow TO GET BACK INTO THE PEMO • CRATIC PARTY.— Judge Wilmot, in his speech at Philadelphia, said : "Do you think that I cannot readily get back to the Democratic party if I am opposed to it ? Why, gentlemen, older | sinners than I have gone back, aud got . their reward : I should only have to ootn. I mit some gross aot of outrage —" catch a : nigger," or when he seeks a crust of j bread, seize him aud put him In prison ; then would I have atoned for all my pol itical errors in the sight of the Demo cratic party." Y\ HERE is PACKER?— This question is often propounded by members of both parties, without any satisfactory response. The last we heard of him he was being led off the course by his keepers looking care-worn and jaded; since which time lie j has been kept elosely secluded in the com mittee room. Whether they will allow him to go about prior to the election is uncertain. Wilmot is on the stump whilst Packer is evidently up a stum]*, —lie is stumped 'most offuotually.— McadcUle Journal. CONSTITUTION OF MINNESOTA.— The 1 A 'atonal Intelligencer gives the following synopsis of this instrument: V * , "The new Constitution prohibits Sla-I very and guarantees liberty of the press, trial by jury, &c. The first Legislature is to consist of thirty-seven Senators and eighty Representatives : pay, S3 per day.
