to warn persons, who have any hope at home
from being inyeiged and trepanned by the
swindling operations of Kansas emigration
society. We hope the facts may be noticed
from New York to Kansas, that the innocent
may be saved from suffering, and the heavy
tax that falls upon the charity Of our steamboats,
and the benevolent, who make us love our
countrymen for the genial sympathy to which
suffering never appeals in vain. Like the So
cieties that have been formed to help European
immigrants to Western homes, with the un.
scupulous and rayenous appetites of harpies,
these Kansas emigration associations, securing
their fee, would enter like the serpent that des
ecrated Eden, into happy homes, and turn out
their occupants to misery, ruin, and despair
Let it be known that this is no fancy sketch; it
is one of hundreds of real incidents, superin-
duced by those who preach and pirate with stem
torian lungs against what they term the Ne
braska-Kansas swindle.

Nothing.
Some days since, with grand flourish of
trumpets, the Whig published what purported
to be report of Wilson's speech in the Boston
Telegraph, with view to show that Wilson had
denounced the Know-nothing Order as too
pro-slavery. Our attention was especially
called to the statement of the Wing, and we
promptly replied by denying the correctness of
the report. The following, which we copy
from the last Boston Telegraph shows that Gen.
Wilson neoer made the declaration, and that
the report of his speech never appeared in that
paper. Wilson is still III full communion and
fellowship with the Secret Order, and, aboli-
ZIONIST as he is, he can come to Virginia, and
be received with the grip of friendship and cor
diality by the brethren of the culvert. He can
do more; in the secret lodges he may preach
his strongest abolition sentiments and the
brethren will be restrained by their secret oaths
from denouncing to the public hrs treason to
the Constitution and to the rights and safety of
Virginia:
From the Boston Telegraph.
The latest maneuvre of the Know. nothings
in Virginia, consists in representation that
Senator Wilson of this State has abandoned
the organization. We find the following in the
Petersburg (Va.) hatelligencer:
But our object in writing this article was not
to discuss the comparative unworthiness OF
Wilson and Summer, but to congratulate the
American party upon the welcome intelligence
that has reached us of the abandonment of their
ranks by this man Wilson. The Boston Tele-
