THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. c. NOVEMBER l. 1865

The latest joke in Kansas is a meeting OF
"the friends of Law and Order" in Leaven-
worth city, on the Sd October, called to avert
the dreadful consequences likely to result from
the mischievous spirit of characterization evinc-
ed by those of the People of Kansas who re-
pudiate the acts of the Legislature.
1t issued an address, calling upon all low;
ers of law and order throughout the Territory,
all who desire to see the Constitution and laws
of the land regarded and enforced, and who wish
, to live in peace and harmony, to assemble at q
general mass meeting to be held at Leaven-
worth city, on Wednesday, the 18th of NOvem-
Der next, and there to devise such measures as
their wisdom may dictate"
| The following paragraph from the Kansas
| Territorial Register, announcing an expected
Immigration from Louisville, KY, if true, shows
that at last one good result has been brought
about by Know Nothingism
Gan agent, representing some five thousand
souls, has recently arrived in Kansas, and says
about five thousand German and Irish citizens
of Louisville, Ky, intend to settle in our Terri
/ tory. He further represents them as sober,
! INDUSTRIOUS and frugal class of people, consist
ing of the best portion of the Louisville foreign
popuation-that they are not of those who
were embroiled in the late Know Nothing cleo
ton riots, but that they are composed of a class
who have become Disguised with the late scenes
of oppression and tyranny to which many of
their countrymen have of late fallen victims.
We understand the agent is favorable to our
city and the surrounding country for these peo-
pie to locate. Most of them are mechanics,
and many of them have considerable wealth.
Let them come and assist US in developing our
agricultural and commercial resources, which
are vastly superior to any other part Of Kan

INvIDIOUs.
vember 9th,

A respected contemporary in Ohio, comment
ing on the results of the late election. in that
State, remarks, in somewhat invidious style,
that the Catholics generally voted with the Ad-
ministraton Party. This may be true, but
how is an editor, residing in Cleveland, TO know
how the Catholics in a population of more than
two millions, scattered over State like Ohio,
voted?
Suppose, however, it be true, shall we forget
that their civil rights nave been called in ques-
ton the past year BY ,v. lm political Or
ganization, and that the Administrations fattT
in Ohio was the only strong political organiza-
ton that openly stood up in their defence
Now, no matter what might have been the mo-
tives of its leaders in this policy-and for one
we are not disposed to give them any special
credit for disinterested devotion to the cause OF
human rights-still, it was quite natural that
the fact should have had a decided influence
on Catholic voters. Men would be fools and
ingrates not to remember those who remember
them. Let it be the work Of the Republican
Party in Ohio, as elsewhere, to prove itself the
true friend OF civil and religious liberty, the
uncompromising, impartial, champion of ma
man rights, without regard to race or religion.
Let it repudiate the practice of drawing invidi-
GUS distinctions among different classes of our
population, by playing the demagogue or the
bigot, by unduiy eTalting enc class, or seek
ing to discredt another,

FORAYs UPON MEXICO.

The Texans have been invading Mexican
territory, and making war on its people. The
pretext seems to have been, outrages commit
ted by Indians, residing within Mexican ter.
ritory, upon citizens of Texas. Captain Gala
han, at the head of party of Texan rangers,
crossed the Rio Grande, at Eagle Pass, on the
I'd October, for the purpose of destroying what
the Galveston Cirilian styles, "a combination
of Indians, Mexicans, and renegade negroes"
He had battle, he reports, with $50 men,
and routed them. Falling back then upon the
Mexican town of Piedras Negros, he fortified
himself there, and soon after had another en-
gagement, during which the town was burnt.
He recrossed the Bio Grande. fortified himself
AGAIN. snd ISSUED 2 cell to the Texas People,
There was great excitement.
INVOKING aiu. ~" movements on
Reports were afoat of hos.,.D
the part of the savGges, and volunteers were
expected to flock to the st$adarG Of Captain
Callahan.
We have only the Texan version of the mat
ter, and it can hardly be supposed that the
Captain and his adventures would criminate
themselves. They are not remarkably forbear-
ing, nor has exclusive regard for the sovereign
ty of Mexico been characteristic of American
borderers.
One fact is established Captain Callahan
and certain citizens of Texas have made war
on Mexico, and invaded Mexican Territory.
The proyocatiOn must have been extreme, the
danger imminent, to excuse or even mitigate
such an act of hostility. From occasional hipts
in Texan newspapers, we presume that the re-
capture Of fugitives from service has some
thing to do with this transaction.
1MNIGRATIoN.-Six thousand five hundred
and Gftyhve emigrants from Europe arrived al
New York the past week. They were possessed
OF S245,075, being an average of S38 for every
passenger-man, woman, and child. The New
York Courier says the number ofimmigrants last
year In this country was 100000, and it calcu-
iates that if they were as we'll provided with
cash means as the passengers above alluded to,
which is likely, they brought nearly thirteen
millions OF dollars of ready money into the
country, to say nothing OF the value of their Ia
Dor after they get here, which tie Courier puts
at an enormous sum-

aiming to exclude this labor and capital from

Who can doubt that the time will come,
