Present condition of Kansas.
. LAWRENCE, K. T., Nov. 10, 1856.
~ i It has been the fate of Kansas to trust
for justice in her wrongs to the sense of
right of the American public, who are
supposed to rule ; and this being her fate,
it has been her misfortune never to have
her wrongs fully uuderstoodby those to
whom‘ she thus appealed. The public
mind is incredulous, and slow to believe
that which may reflect discredit on its
past judgment, or call for efiort in the fu-
ture, and long before the public could be
‘awakened to a lively faith on one stage of
the Kansas crime, the active and remorse-
less powers at work had gone on to the
consummation of others. The process of
su_bjug'atin'g‘Kausa's to Slavery has been
by a series of steps, each iuducting the
other, and each in its plaae essential to
the result. Thus, long before the East-
ern aud Northern public had become ful-
ply aware that the State of Missouri had,
by violence, and fraud, wrested the only
-political power the people of the Territo-
ry possessed, from them, and had by its
usurpation and unheard-of perversion po-
Klitically enslaved them—before these facts
had deepened intoconviction on the pub-
lic mind, the Slave propaganda here had
begun the work of “ crushing out” the
Free Soil settlers by the destruction of
their lives and property.
Again, as the public mind has begun

to receive with reluctant and half-credu-
lous assent, the truth that armed inva-
sions have been pouring into the Territo-
ry to murder, blot out and destroy every
vestige of tip; hated antagonistic Free-
dom, another stage of the game has been
perfected into a model for accomplishing
the work, of tyranny. Political trials,
which for extent and partisan irregularity
have no parallel save in the wild times of
the French Revolution, are now a regu-
lar part of the struggle which is thus de-
signed to end in the conquest of Kansas
to Slavery. But few of the Republican
people of‘America to-day, fully realize the
villainy that is perpetrated under the
form of legal persecution in Kansas. The
American who stands on the soil of Aus-

trian Lombardy, or Hungary, and whose
heart has ached at the gloomy picture of

a political prison, or chained patriots, lit-
tle ‘dreams that in Kansas to-day a pow-
er is at work more despotic than Austri-
an despotism, and that chains are here

also the price of Liberty.
As I have already written, the antag-

onistic elements in our Government are
here at work in active hostility. Had
they been left to struggle alone, Freedom

‘would have had the best of it ere now ;
‘but the General Government has thrown
‘all its strength in favor of Slavery, and

Freedom has succumbed for the present,

‘and looks sickly, as if it was about to
"wither and die.
‘Southern States would be content to go

If emigrants from the

into the Territories on an equal footing
with the settlers from the Free States,

’ then there would be no difficulty to adjust,

and all could meet and unite as a commu-
nity of Republicans, and build up each
new State into a new Republic. It is not

C so, however. A few men from the South-

ern States insist on carrying with them
"the serf basis of an aristocracy, which will
make them aristocrats. With it, they
carry ruin to Republicanism, prostration
to e'nterprise,and a fatal moral disease to
the community. To oblige these few
foes of all that makes our country great,

"the ruin of young States is begun and

consummated. The struggle in Kansas

‘has amply proven how utterly hated is

every thiugin the shape of Freedom by
Slavery. The slaveocrecy hete Freedom,
-—they hate those who love any kind of
Freedom, and they will kill Republican-
ism and Fieedom in_ every shape, wher-
ever and whenever they can. They have
already lost all respect for, and, indeed,
cordially hate those men who, by their
devotion to Freedom during the struggle
of the Revolution,‘ secured us aRepubli-
can form of Government. They hate
every word connected with human liber-
ty. The official organ of Slavery in the
'.l‘erritory thus takes occasion to speak of

‘ the early Puritans and their descendants:

“ These Puritans, who professed to have

. fled from religious persecution, scarcely had
’ they landed upon American soil ere they com-

menced hanging and burning old women. We
believe this race totally incapable of self-gov-
ernment-'-a r ace of ismitcs,constitutional ag-
itators, and superstitious fanatics. If they
hadpnot the Slavery question for hobby, to
agitate our country, they would find some-
thing else. Agitation is their meaf and drink
and without it they cannot live. Therefore,

" we say the 1‘ degenerated sciens’ race in Kan-
. .-sasiare beyond the power of reform, as well
.. .-the power of any man to unite them with any
,, honest party. As_ for favoring, counseling, or

advising these men, it is but ‘ throwing pearls
You make them worse the

our bulwark against such men all over the

world, and let that deal with them as their

deeds merit. No honest man can breathe the

“ sanie‘ atmosphere they breathe, ’tie stagnated
' - with plague, sickening, killing, and a stink to
_ -_...-the nostrilsof any neighboring community.

The twqparties can never live‘ in peaceiu
Kansas. ‘

* 

Thus the Slaveobracy speak of a race
of men who gave Britain all she has of
Constitutional Liberty, and to whom
Americans owe all they have not lost of
national freedom. And the sentiment
thus expressed is unhappily but too gen-
eral; I might almost call it universal with
(hose who are devoted to Slavery. Here
it shows itself in the relentless animosity
which furnishes the sad material for so
many tragedies. Men, otherwise gen-
tlemen, do not hesitate at acts of villainy
and blood, and those whose influence and
intelligence ought to make them check.
ou.the uugoverned violence of the more
illiterate and vicious, only use that pow-
er in inciting such minds to the most.
horrid and reckless acts ; and lest con-
science shonld be a stumbling-block in
the way of crime, it is drowned in the
fumes of intoxicating liquor.

In the same article to which I have
referred, there are appeals to the pro-
slavery men to continue the course of le-
gal persecution now going 0ll,KIll(I which
it is urged, will answer the purpose ;

“ Put the law in force—uow—promptly, and
we shall soon be ridded of them, as all com-
munities have heretofore been of their scurf.”

What is meant by the “law” here is
not very clear. Under the bogus laws,
which are now being enforced here, free
State men can be persecuted for very lit-
tle; and that which might elsewhere be
deemed a virtue, is here often visited
with the death penalty.- But even under
the bogus laws,there is something speci-
fied as punishable. I suspect that the
" law” alluded to simply means the le-
gal machinery of the courts, which here
are indeed sufficient to manufacture an
indictment, or carry it through the vari
one steps to conviction. Whatever may
be said on the subject. it is the presence
of the free-State men in the Territory
that is their crime in the eyes of the pro-
slavery men. Were the free-State men
of Kansas in the Southern States, they
would be a hated, despised and outlaw-
ed set ; and pro-slavery men feeel, er
pretend to feel, that Slavery has already
been established in Kansas as the Bogus
Legislature established it. Thus anoth-
er Territorial journal asks :

“ Whether Southern men shall he forced by
the votes mostly of a band of traitors, robbers
and thieves, to remove from Kansas because
we cannot live here with our property '2”

The language held toward Free-State
men in this morsel is not very choice :
but it is that of hatred begotten of clash-
ing interests. It exhibits the state of
feeling that exists.

At present Freedom is conquered in Kan-
sas. The bogus Legislature established
Slavery in point of fact, and our Territorial
authorities, backed by all the military power
of the nation, have declared that these laws
shall be enforced. The same bogus council,
and another Legislature equally bogus, are
about to assemble and complete what is lack-
ing of Pro-Slavery legislation for Kansas.-
The Free-State movement has been violently
suppressed by the National Government, and
although it may receive, and lift up its head
in the stuggle, yet it will do so under circum-
stances still less propitious than it has en-
countered at any period in the struggle. Le-
gal persecution runs riot. Our Federalcourts
emulate the worst days of the Inquisition.-
Intimidation has done its work with many of
the Free-Settlers. Emigration from the Free
States has been shut out during the greater
part of this season. The Missouri River has
been closed to emigrants of that class, and
every obstacle thrown in the way of the tedious
overland route through Nebraska and Iowa,
both by Rufilane and United States ofilcers.—
Free-State men have been murdered in open
day, and there has neither been redress, nor
security against the recurrence of such crimes.
Free-State towns, and villages, settlers houses
have been burned and plundered, and even
now there are the first mumering threats of
another invasion.

Under such circumstances it may be rather
surprising that the Free-State cause has sur-
vived at all, or that a majority of Free-State
settlers should still be left upon the soil of
Kansas. Freedom is hard to kill, and the en‘
terprise of settlers from the Northern States
clings to the rich soil and future promise of
wealth, which bide fair to make a good specu-
lation ; provided the “ difilculties are “ set-
tled right.” They live in hope, suffering and
trusting.

But in spite of all their wrongs, in spite of
the monstrous evils which now press them
down, it must not be supposed that the great
mass of settlers are ready to spring to arms
and do battle against all -who stand in the
way of their rights. The great majority of
the Free State settlers are of a neaceable cast
who will only strike when they have been
been stricken, if then. Keenly sensible of the
horrors of warfare, moralists in peace theory,
with conscience that shrinks from clots of hu-
man gore on their skirts, -they wish to be “ in
the right” before they make warlike demon-
strations—that is, they must have immediate
aejwell as remote causes ofjuetificatiou before
they strike. In order to keep “ right on the
record,” they have suffered until they have
not a right left, and failing in the election of
Fremont, scarcely a hope but in revolution-
if it is necessary to designate the assertion of
his constitutional rights by an American citi-
zen with such a name as revolution, even if
he has to overthrow nsurpers, and by violence
wrest back what violence and fraud have
robbed him of.

But the citizens of Kansas as a mag3——I
mean as a mass sufficieutly united and unani-
mous to do so successfully—are not ready for
thia To its justice and propriety nearly all
of them assent, and to the doctrine of its ex-
pediency there is no inconsiderable number of
true believers who would take up arms to-
morrow, and die bearing them to attest their
sincerity. But the fighting men are not the
most influential. Nearly all of the Commit-
tees who have to disburse funds, or what little
aid is to be given, and the greater portion of
those who lift their voices in counsel, when
eloquence goes into debate as to whether
-‘ their voice shall be for war,” are of the pru-
dent, worldly-wise kind, who have even a
greater moral horror for bullets than they
have for bloodshed. These lend themselves
mostly to a temporising policy. War may be
necessary, but not now. So has it been
through every phase of the struggle : as in
Harry Hotspur’s case. those who wish to fight
learn that “ time itself is all unsorted.”-
Then there is another class of peaceinakers,
who, whatever their influence, make such use
of their fluent tongues that they sometimes
silence where they cannot convince. Thin
class is engaged in lucrative‘ business. They
are either making money rapidly, or flatter
themselves that they will, if people’ would
would only keep still and let things go on as
they are. They are Free State men after a
f“3hl°“~lhIl ii. they would be in favor of its

being a Free State‘, but as for one spark of "

love for Freedom, or patriotic regard -for

those iacred political privileges on which all
our civil rights rest, why, the “ almighty
dollar” crushed it out of the little corner
where their heart had been long, long ago.

When I say that there is not sufiicient una-
nimity among the masses about fighting to
recover their rights immediately, I do not
mean that there is an unwillingness. Go out
among the masses, the working people, the
yeomeu, the_squatters of Kansas, and you will
find a large number of men nearly fiery one
of whom are willing to assert their rights even
unto the death; who are unwilling to submit
to more wrong. They want a leader or an
occasion ; either, or both. And if there is not
a remedy, just and speedy, devised from with-
out, both will come. Time-servers and timid
peace-makers will be thrust aside, and those
whose nerves are as iron and whose souls are
true.will meet the issue and stand or fallwith
Freedom. Unsatisfied with their present am-
pie means for persecuting the Free-State peo-
ple, the Border Rufilaus may pour over anoth-
er extermiuating army, and in the war thus
begun may begin the war of Freedom.

But the Free-State men are not prepared
for it to-day. They do not contemplate it to-
day. They are not willing to encounter the
Border Rufiians, with all the Southern Brig-
ade, and what is still more forbidding, all the
power of the United States army, alarge force
of which is here to see that they do not wrest
back their stolen rights, and “ to enforce the
bogus laws.”

Yes, there is something fearful in revolution
under such circumstances, and well might the
timid shrink. The frowning rows of United
States artillery, the serried lines of bayonets
and flashing lines of sabres, and behind this
pride and panoply of war, a rufiiau horde, fil-
led with hate, and scrupling not to touch
blood ; and still behind these the Pro-Slavery
Courts; friends of Freedom lan uishing and
dying in filthy prisons, or con ted of hen-
ious crimes for loving Freedom; Bogus Sher-
ifi‘s riding about the country with pockets full
of writs. Yes, there is something fearful in
revolution, whether it be in Poland, in Hun-
gary or in Kansas.

Re-opening of the Slave Trade-

The leading organs of public opinion in the
extreme “Democratic” States of the Union,
flushed with the victory just obtained, are urg-
ing the renewal of the African slave-trade.-
Most prominent among the journals which
have taken this position, are the Richmond
Enquirer, the Charleston Standard, and the
New Orleans Delta—all unflinching advo-
cates of the election of Mr. Buchanan.

Their reasoning is peculiar. “ The re-
sult of the Presidential contest,” they say,
“ has established Slavery as a national system,
and the great bond which holds the Union to-
gether.” Iu opening new Territories for the
extension of that system, the entire propriety
and expediency of the internal traffic in labor-
ers have been admitted, for the transmission
of gangs of chained and reluctant bondmen
from Maryland or Virginia to Louisiana or
Texas, for the mere purposes of sale or profit;
this is the Suva Tnsnn, the same in principle
—no worse in fact than the transmission of an
equal number of bound and unwilling human
beings from the coast of Africa to South Caro-
lina or Georgia, for the same purposes of sale
and profit. “ If,” says the Delta, “ Slavery is
wrong, then these things are wrong ; nay,
more—Slavery extension is wrong, and every
good man is under obligation to oppose it.-
“ But.” adds the writer, “believing as we do,
Slavery to be nionr, and a blessing to both
races, we believe also that the only means of
producing, extending and fortifying it, are
also right. Every arrangement against the
slave-trade, is an arrangement against Slavery
itself, and he who assails the former is no less
an enemy to Southerninstitutions than he who
attacks the latter.”

The article concludes with the old, stale
threats of disnnion, if the Administration or
the people of the North shall oppose the
scheme. The Standard and Enquirer, with
a score of minor Buchanan papers, proceed in
the same strain.

The logic of the Delta, to a supporter of Mr-
Buchanan in the free States, must be unan-
swerable. The very identical arguments which
convinced him that it was right to give up the
National Territories to Slavery, apply with
precisely equal force to the re-epening of the
Slave-trade, and we doubt not that in less than
four years, the Hartford Times, New Haven
Register, and Bridgeport Farmer, will be la-
boring to prove that “justice to the South”
requires the renewal of the traffic, and depict-
ing in fearful colors the consequences of a dis-
solution of the Union, the penalty of non-sub-
mission to the requirements of the political
power of Slavery.

Our Town Election

Takes place on Monday next. At the head
of our columns will be found the usual call for
a Nominating Meeting, to be held on Wednes-
day evening, Nov. 26th. We trust that every
citizen, who in good faith can respond to that
call, will be present. There should be no more
division among the epponents of the misnamed
pro-Slavery Democracy, in all New England,
and we see no reason why our citizens, who
loathe the doctrines of the Cincinnati Plat-
form, should be kept asunder any longer, mere-
ly, because, in the recent campaign, some had
preferences for Fremont, and others equally
strong preferencesrfor Fillmore, as the better
standard-bearer, under whose guidance the
common enemy could be overthrown. It is
time that one compact OPPOSITION party should
be on gaiiiim-cl to hold and maintain the control
of out State Government. Let the good work
be conimeucd in Norwalk, this week—and,
with the past forgotten, and the future all our
own, let us un itedly march on to Victory!

 

Borough Meeting.
By far the most important Borough Meeting
ever held in Norwalk, will be held at the Town

House this (Tuesday) afternoon. We would
invite the attention of every freeman within the

Borough limits, to the CALI. in today's paper.

Attend, every Voter, and put the Borough in
s rnoounssivn condition!

 

The Wednesday Night Meeting.

We trust that our South Norwalk friends
will he on hand, in force, with their Fremont
Club, and its Band with fife and drum, to show
that the spirit is all alive within us yet. And
so our friends from Silver Mine, from Poplar
Plain, and Winuepauk, are expected to be on
hand. We will have our Speakers out, and
open the ball for the Spring campaign.

REMEMBER! AT THE TOWN HALL, ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

 

Another Fire.

A barn belonging to‘Carmi Lockwood, Esq.
of this town, and just in front of his i-esi_
deuce, was consumed with its contents on Fri.
day morning last, at about 2 o'clock. As no
fire had been used about the building, it must
either have been the work of design, or the
result of carelessness on the part of some
straggler who may have sought its shelter for
the night, and fired it with his “tobaccy” in or-
der to make his quarters comfortable.

ll?"-P Ripton, Vermont, gave every
vote in the town for Fremont.

The Annual Town Meeting.

We would suggest to our Selectmen and
citizens generally, the necessity of conducting
our annual Town Meeting this year. on a dif-
ferent plan from that which has been pursued
in former years; and would also indicate the
system which has been adopted in most of the
other Towns in the State, of the size of Nor-
walk.

We have to elect our usual number of cm-
cers by ballot, and the polls are to be kept
open all day. Heretofore, the annual re-
ports have been read in the afternoon, while
the voting has been suspended for that pur-
pose. It is obvious, that in a Town which
can poll 1050 votes, this suspension of the
ballot can no longer take place.

We have, moreover, an unusual number of
reports, to wit: that from the School Visitors,
in addition to the ordinary ones. Now, in oth-
er Towne—as ig Danbury, for instance—the
wuou-1 of the regular Town Meeting day is de-
voted to the voting by ballot, and at the close
thereof, the meeting is adjourned to the .1!‘-
ternoon of the next Monday, when the Re-
ports are read, acted upon, and the ofilcers
who are not elected by ballot-—to wit: the
Constables, Grand Jurors, Highway Surveyors,
Haywards, &c.—a."e appointed. This avoids
all confusion, and as we have said, has been
done in Danburylfor years. '

In order to do this, it is only necessary for
some one to make a motion, during the day
next Monday, that at the closing of the polls
and the announcement of the result of the bal
lot, the meeting shall be adjourned till the
next Monday afternoon, for the other purpo-
ses specified above. We believe all men of
all ,parties, would be pleased with this ar-
rangement. .

 

The Nominating Meeting,
' ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

We wish to suggest to our friends, some dif-

ferent mode of proceeding at this meeting,

than that hitherto pursued. There is uot,au-

other town of the size of Norwalk in the State,

where the old system of balloting for candi-

dates for Selectmen, &c., is kept up at the

present day. It is impossible to retain the

system any longer here, for when the number

of persons attending a Nominating Meeting,

becomesaslarge as the one last year, and still
more, as the one which may be expected this

year, it will be found that to “ballot round”

for five Selectmen, a Town Clerk, Treasurer,

Collector, and nine School Visitors-seventeen

in all--will be, beyond measure, difiicult. In

almost all other large Towns, the Committee
system has superseded the old plan, and we
would suggest that early on Wednesday eve-
ning, a Committee of nine, eleven or thirteen
be appointed to retire and report a list of can-
didates. While they are absent, speaking
might be going on, to interest the meeting.-
The danger of cliques in the Committee sys-
tem is no greater than on the old plan, when
the meetings have grown to the size which
now take place in Norwalk. A fair-minded
man will not be afraid of the appointment of
a fair Committee. It would be immaterial
whether the Committee were appointed by the
Chair, or by nominatou, but it is probable that
the latter would give better satisfaction. If
there were not time for the Committee to re-
port, the meeting might adjourn to another
evening to hear the report, and act upon it,
according to the mode uniformly adopted in
the other large Towns in the State.

——__?——:-:-——:——-

Exams‘. No. 2.—-A movement is on foot,
we observe by the call for a Borough Meeting
in to day’s paper, to repurchase No. 2, which
was some time since sold under the hammer,
—(it seemed to us like knocking the Borough
on the head)—and bought in by some of our
leading (retrogreseively 2) citizens. We are
like the boy who—-had nathiug to say ; at
the same time, intimating that the subject was
one of consideration. Hurry up the arguments,
pro and con, and the freemen of the Borough
will decide the issue.

All hands to the Town House, at 3 o’clock

to-day !

 

For the Gazette.
Light ! Light ! Light!
[GAS—GAS—GAS.—En. Gaz.']

By far the most important thing, (especially
to some who are out late nights, around the
Bridge—Do'rr, for instance—and whose ways
are devious,) to be discussed in the Borough
Meeting to-day (Tuesday,) is the lighting of
the Borough with Gas, in the vicinity of the
Bridge. There isn’t a place this side the re-
gion of perpetual heat and darkness, where
light would be more convenient, or where itie
more necessary, The late Election shows
that to the immortal 101, at least, light (be-
fore election,) is particularly necessary. Come
to the meeting, then, ALL, whether of the “dark
lantern” order or not, and vote for more light.

The School Visitors.

By the new Education Act, the School _Vis-
itors are to be chosen by the Towns, at the
annual Town Meeting, by ballot, and to con-
sist of no more than nine persons, “ of whom
the first third elected shall hold olllce for three
years, the next third for two years, and the
last third for one year.”

The olfice is an important one, and care
be exercised in the nomination of candidates
for it. The annual Report of the School Vis-
itors will also hereafter be read at the Town
Meetings.

 

Very Important.

It is proposed at Borough Meeting to day,
to take steps to construct a Reservoir oppo-
site’ James Mallory’s Store, to afford our gal-
lant firemen (2) the means of subduing any
fire which may occur in that part of the Bor-
ongh. We go in for the Reservoir, as also
the Steps on this side the Bridge, to the river,
for the benefit of those|wbose property is here.

Go to the Borough Meeting and vote incur
on these important matters. Read the call.

Kansas Letter.

We have been allowed to publish the fol-
lowing letter from “ Young John Brown,” a
nephew of Jeremiah R. Brown, (to whom it is
addreseed,) in which particular reference is
bad to the collection taken up at South Nor-
walk, &c., which had been received at Kansas
before his departure from the Territory. Now
that election has passed, and we can be sus-
pected of no partizan object in its publica-
tion, we seriously and earnestly commend its
reading to those of our opponents who have
been disposed to look lightly over the Border
Rufilan outrages of Kansas, perpetrated upon
Free State men, be it remembered, for no
crime committed, or charged, other than a re-
fusal to obey those laws of a bogus- Legisla-
ture, which uot only violate every guarantee
of constitutional liberty, and so decided by our
national House of Representatives, but which
have been pronounced ‘ inrnlous’ by a leading
Democrat in the Senate of the United States :

who had come on by way of the Missou-
ri River. Thank God, we are once more
where we can take a breath of free air.

You can hardly imagine how great is
the change! To be able to lie down at
night, with no bowie-knife and revolver
under your pillow, to be used against
the prowling assassin, and yet feel se-
cure, is a luxury which you cannot ap-
preciate unless you have been a Free
State resident of Kaiisae. We are in-
deed thankful for the kindness and syui-‘
pathy we have received while in Kan-
sas, aud also since our return. The con-
tributions which you mention in your
letter that have been made by friends at
the East, have all, or nearly all, reached
Kansas through Mr. Adair, at Osawato-
mie, who has been most faithful in their
application. I beg of you to express my
thanks to those kind friends, individual-
ly, as far as you can.

I must not omit to mention the faith-
ful self-sacrificing course pursued by Mr.
Adair, of Otawatomie. If there was ev-
or a true missionary, he is one. Of the
means even, sent by the Missionary So-
ciety for the benefit of himself and fami-
ly, he has not failed to bestow for the
relief of the destitute. In this way, he
keeps himself poor. If I could see the
officers of the Missionary Society, I
would urge them not to forget that they
have in him one oftheir most faithful co-
workers—-one who has proved himself a
true Christian Missionary. .

You speak of some barrels of clothing
that have been contributed for the desti-
tute in Kansas. If these could reach
Kansas—and I think they may-they
would be of the greatest value and ser-
vice to those whom I know are without
clothing, and what is worse, without any
means of obtaining it.

Between forty and fifty Free State
families I can now think of, whose hous-
es, furniture and clothing have been
burned, and all they have, gone. If that
clothing can reach them, tearsof thank-
fulness will be shed. You are probably
aware that both the River and Overland
Routes have been closed to Free State
emigration. The cold of Winter will
soon hem in thos.poor people, so that
what is done, must be done quickly. I
think if those barrels were sent to Mr.
Adair, care of Simmons 8.: Leadbeater,
St. Louis, Mo., and to S. N. Simpson,
Lawrence via Leavenworth, they would
most likely reach Kansas safely, if sent
soon.

And now, my friend, accept for your-
self mwarmest thanks for the kindly in-
torest you have manifested in behalf of
those in Kansas who have been the vic-
tims there of wrong and outrage, at the
hands of the Slave Power. For them, I
thank you, and the generous hearts who
have through yourself helped to furnish
the timely aid. Long may you and they
enjoy the consciousness of having assist-
to feed the hungry and clothe the naked.

Ever your affectionate nephew,

What Advertising can do.— Mr.
Bonner, the proprietor of the New York
Leger, a weekly literary paper, issued
in New York city, has run the edition
of the paper up to one hundred and
seventy-five thousand copies! a larger
number than any other New York week-
ly newspaper. The quantity of paper
used weekly for the N. Y. Ledger is
three hundred and forty reams, of five
hundred sheets per ream. The forms of
matter are duplicated for each number
by electrotype, and a large number of
presses are kept constantly at work
night and day, to turn off its enormous
supply. It is said that the proprietor
has expended 842,000 within the last
year in advertising his paper. and when
we see how liberally he usestlie col-
nmne of the largest circulated dailies.
the above amount does not appear to be
over estimated. The result shows
what a man may do towards promoting
his business by using the power of the
press judiciously as well as liberally.

lf Among those assembled on Tues.
day morning, at the Kiug’s cross tre-
minus, to witness the departure of the
royal family for Scotland, was Mrs Har-
riet Beeclier Stowe. On the arrival of
the royal party, Mrs. Stowe took the
opportunity of presenting, through Col-
onel Grey, her new work, " Dred,” in
two volnmnes, just hot from the press,
On learning that the fair authoress was
present, both her Majesty and Prince
Albert came forward and gave her a
gracious and friendly recognition accep-
ting the book with evident pleasure.

Edinburgh Express.

For the Gare-m».
Ladies’ Union.

At. the annual meeting of this Society
on Tuesday last, it was resolved to con‘-'
tinue the present organization, also to
appropriate $100, for the purchase cl
books, to be placed in the library of the
Institute for public use, but subject to
recall by the Ladies’ Union, should it
ever be deemed advisable ; and it was
further resolved, that every effort should
be made by the ladies to procure sub-
scribers to the library, the use of Which.
upon payment of the annual fee of the
Ladies’ Union, they knew themselves to
be entitled, by an agreement made with
the Institute to that effect. The meet-
ing then adjourned.

The results were laid before the Insti-
tute, which body, upon consideration of
the matter, decline receiving the $100
worth of books; and further, it was vo-
ted by the Institute, that annual mem-
bership with the Ladies’ Union should
not be renewed, for the reason that the
last yearly arrangement—the payment of
$290 for memberships, averaging $3.33
each, for use of library and course of 12
lecturee—bad been the cause of bring-
ing the Institute much in debt, besides
rendering them unable to give a course
of lectures this winter.

We therefore take the earliest oppor-
tunity of informing the Ladies’ Union of
these matters, so that, if they have any
books on hand belonging to the In-
stitute, they may ruturu them immedi-
ately : for having become, uuawares, so
much indebted to the Institute, none
wish to prolong the indebtedness by re-
taining a single book for an hour, now
that they are enlightened upon the sub-
ject. ‘l f 1‘

The Vermont Kansas-Aid Bill.

The General Assembly of Vermont
adjourned Tuesday morning, after a
session of six weeks.

Among the acts passed on Monday
was one appropriating $20,000 for eup-
pling the suffering poor in Kansas with
food and clothing. This was a substi-
tute for a bill which had previously been
rejected. The substitute was adopted,
26 to 0, and passed, ayes 25, noes 2.—-
It appropriates a sum not exceeding $20,
000, to be used at the direction of the
Governor, and on conditions obviating
objections to the original hill.

 

1? Mr. Stannard, formerly a resi-
dent of Fair Haven. Conn., being en-
titled tc vote in Virginia, exercised his
privilege in Norfolk, Va., by voting for
Fremont. The mob, as soon as it was
discovered, beset him and be had to flee
for his life—managed to get aboard of a
vessel in, the harbor and had the good
fortune to get safe out of the enemy's
country. They have had the yellow
fever in Norfolk ; but this black fever is
a heavier curse.

[§ The dwelling of E. C, Goodwin,
Editor of The Litchfield Enquirer,
(John, was beleaguered by a yelling
crowd of semi-savages on Saturday right
last, who fired a cannon twice at it, re.
gardlese of the fact that Mr Goodwin’s
aged mother lay very sick within. One
discharge shattered the glass, doors, &.c.,
and shook the house as if it would tear
it to pieces. Mr. Goodwin's energy
and efficiency in the canvass for Fre-
mont and Dayton was the only known
provocation for this outrage. He was
absent at the time.

I? The Lancaster Bank, at Lan-
caster, Pa., the Bank of Mt. Vernon
R. I., and the Canton Bank, of China,
Me,, have suspended payment. The
lailure of the Bank of the Republic,
(Providence,) auiiounced a few days
eince, seems to be a bad one.

Lewis County Horses and the Em-
peror of France.— Flying. along the
Boulevards, and through the Champs”
Elysies, may be seen a pair of beautiful
bay horses attached to a fine carriage
in which are seated the Emperor Na-
poleon, and the Empress.

These beautiful bay attract not much
less attention than the Emperor and
Emperees themselves. They were rais-
ed and owned by Eli B. I-lough of Mar-
tinsburg and sold by him to some parties
near Schenectady, afterwards went to
Long Island, and were then purchased by
the French Consul at the price of $3,
000, and sent out to Louis Napoleon.

E3-" "Great cake from little acorns
grow.” Mr. Davis stubbed his toe the
other day, and said This exclamation
so astonished Mr. Davis's oldest boy,
Wm. Henry, that he dropped his hoe
and rushed into the house with his eyes
wide open. Mrs. D. seeing Will.
Henry’s looks, became frightened, and
dashed out doors to see if Mr. Davis had
fallen into the well. While absent
from the kitclieu, Master James Davis
set fire to his apron. This set fire to a
box of shavings, and that to the house.
The result is, Davis being uninsured, is
out $3000, and all caused by his attemp-
ting to make a slave of a little profanity.
Think of Davis, and take on wisdom.

High Prices for Horres.——In Porter's
Spirit of the Times, speaking of the sale
of “ Lexington,” the following informa-
tion is given :

“ It is possibly true that Lexington
has been disposed of by Mr. Ten Broeck,
for $15,000, but the idea expressed that
this is the highest price ever paid for
any horse in the United States, is not
only preposterous, but ridiculous. De-
livered here, Priam cost over $25,000.
Rodolph sold for 18,000 !”

ear New York Correspondence.
New Yonx, Nov. 21st, 1856.

We are cosmopolitan in our holidays
here, as in almost everything else. Tliis
great polyglot people of Gotham, seems
to adopt the peculiar holidays of each
tribe of its people; and, after all, it nev-
er seems to get holiday enough. \Ve
celebrate here the Yankee Thanksgiving
with llie orthodox accompaniment of
turkeys and pumpkin pie; on “Pass”
day, we eat eggs boiled hard, in Dutch
style ; on Christmas. we hoist the Ger-
man gift-tree, and " St. Patrick's Day in
the moriiing” is also getting to be a uni-
versal institution. In fact, people are
fond of increasing the number of these
appointed days, on which they may ex-
cuse themselves for u outed departures
fro-'~ ‘needy habits, by asserting that H it
only - imes once a year." But Thanks-
giving has never been universally no:
very generally observed in New York,
until within the last few years. Yester-
day was a perfect triumph for the Yan-
kee holiday. Every body shut up shop,
and staid at home with wife and chil-
dren, or more orthodoxly still, turned out
to hear a two hours’ sermon. Services
were held in most of the churches. The
Jews observed the day by religious ser-
vices, in accordance with the request of
the Governor, and for the first time.——
The proclamations have hitherto been
addressed to nominal Christians only.

As for the non-churchgoing and on-
domestic portion of the community, they
were abroad all day, seeking recreation
accordin g to the most approved method.
The most popular recreation among ine-
chaiiics is, at this season of the year, a
target excursion. Most sensible people
could hardly see the fun of marching off
ten or twelve miles after a fife and drum,
to stand in a cold wind and pop at a tar-
get with a gun you never learned to tan-
dle. But it is the fashion with city me-
chaiiics to go a target-shooting, and as
the practice is traditional, we take it for
granted that there must be some amuse-
ment in it. Some statistical fellow has
taken the trouble to calculate that these
excursions of the three -or four hundred
amateur companies of the city, cost an-
nually over $150,000. The most profit-
able Thanksgiving expendituree, were
those directed to the feasting of poor
children. Thousands of good dinners
were prepared for poor Sunday School
children all over the city. The most in-
teresting dinner was that at Mr. Pease’s
Five Points Mission, where four hundred
children sat down to a bountiful dinner
of turkeys and like delectable things.-—
But it is rather painful to notice the per-
plexity of a half-starved child, placed at
such a table with carte blanche to go in
and fill himself. A somewhat different
Thanksgiving demonstration was held
at Randall's Island, where Miss Pyne
warbled some of her delicious notes for
the especial benefit of the boys, and pre-
sented them with a beautiful banner.

Of late, there have strange, indistinct
rumors abouttlie brutal burning alive of
a Blackwell's Island convict, by one ol
the Wardens It seems the thing was
ill.’ nded as a great jok:.=,butlias become
magnified by report into a " horrid case
of barbarous cruelty.” This convict is
said to be the laziest man now living,
and is to be transferred to Barnum’:
Museum, to exist in that capacity. He
is a large, strong and hearty, eats im.
mensely, but it takes him twenty-four
hours to wheel a bushel of stones forty
rods! It having been found impossible
to get any work out of the man, he was
set to digging his own grave, and having
dug a two foot hole in two days, he was
imbedded in the earth up to his knees.
But he seemed to enjoy the thing vastly,
instead of considering it any degradation
or punishment, and offered to stay buried
for the remainder of his natural life, at
the rate of a shilling an hour.

To-day, we are all quietly digesting
our Thanksgiving dinner. There will
be a little less cheating in VVal| Street.
and a few less murders in the Sixth
Ward, for the rest of the week.

Holloway’: Ointment and PilIs.—Bureaux of Health,
hospitals and dispensaries, have never accomplished
half the good that has been achieved through the agen-
cies fcr the sale of these remedies. Fortunately for
the sick, these agencies pervade all countries. Every
dwelling, however, should be furnished with the prepa-
rations, for they may be suddenly and imperatively re-
quired at any hour. If universally and appropriately
used in all cases demanding medical treatment, the av-
erage duration of human life would be increased, and
the amount of human suffering greatly lessened. The
effect of the Ointment on eruptions, ulcers, tumors, and
all kinds of external diseases and injuries, is little short

of supernatural.
