A1-TTENT1C-NEws FROM KANSAS.

A late number of the St. Louis Republican con-
tans authentic news in relation to affairs in Kansas
1t appears that a man by the name OF Coleman-a
pro-savery man-setled in the abolition part OF the
Territory that the abolitioniss attempted to drive
him off; that he resisted, and killed one of them
that one of the aboitionsts engaged in this outrage
arrested by the government officers and after
wards rescued by the armed aboitions.s that Cole
mans house and sixteen other houses had been
burnt and the families turned out of doors; that
the abolitionists, under the head of Robinson and
others, have rom five hundred to one thousand men
in the field-members of the sworn secret legion
armed with Sharp's rifles that these men deny the
authority of the present Territorial government and
are plotting for its overthrow.
Gov. Shannon has issued his proclamation, setting
forth the facts and calling on the military and all
good citizens to rally to the standard of the laws
The militia had been called out, and the law and Or
der portion of the citizens taking the requisite
steps to restore quiet and to uphold the constituted
authorities. There may be some bloodshed This
state of affairs is greatly to be deplored 1t is to be
traced, however, to the efforts made by the " New
England Aid Society to stde the voice of the peo-
pie of the Territory, and to make Kansas free
State.

ELECTION IN WILMINGTON.

The annual election for Commissioners of Will
mngton, n. c., will take place on the Goth instant.
The town has been under Know Nothing control
for the past year and majority of the citizens, it
is believed are dissatisfied with " uiark-lantern "
management. The anti Know Nothings, composed
of Democrats and independent, hg h-mnded oid-line
Whies have nominated for Commissioners MesSrs.
Stephen D. Wallace, Dr. j. ID. Bcllamy, John Daw-
son, I. {. Miller, I. Ii. Howey, D. a. Lamont, and
John A. Taylor-a very strong ticket \ good deal
of excitement prevails. The anti-know Nothings
held meeting on the 18th, Thomas S. Ashe, Esq,
in the Chair, and Messrs. w. L. Jacobs and Joshua
A. Walker Secretaries. The meeting was address
ed by John L. Holmes, Robert Strange, and Eli W.
Hall, ESquires The X. Ms also held a meeting on
the 18th. What modest persons these dark-lan-
terms are 1t was only very recently that they
were permitted by their selfish leaders to hold their
meetings publicly; but now, having been absolved,
somehow or another, from their solemn oaths of Sc
crcsy, they begin to show themselves in public, and
Claim that they are the american party!
The issues presented by the Herald of the 18th,
of "priestly dictation, and the insolent claims of
the Romish Church" as involved in the municipal
election, are all humbug-and the Editor of that de-
ectabe sheet is fully aware of the fact.
Of course it would not become US to take any
part in contest of this sort, and we therefore al
ude to it only in the political aspect in which it pre-
sents itself; but we may be allowed to express the
opinion which prevails that the chances are in favor
of the Know Nothing ticket
We hope to some movement in Raleigh ere
long to rid this City of the evils of Know Nothing
miSrulc. These eviIs-high taxes an inefficient
police and the like-are well known. The remedy
is in the hands of the people of the City; and we
trust they will act in the matter without regard to
party

, swEET.TEMPERED LETTER.

The Asheville Spectator of the 9Th contains let
TOR written by D. F. Caldwell, Esq, of Guilford to
the K. n mass meeting o. held at Asheville in Oc-
,obcr last-said letter filling only five mortal COL
umns of that print, and being withal one of the
most considerable and sweet-tempered documents we
have ever read The writer says he is opposed to
Che Pope-that the cause of protestant cviliza.
tiou ought to Ego forward horse, foot and dra-
oons that he is for free and open 1Churches -
snd for Americans ruling America "-and he adds
incidentally, in concluding his letter. that he is in
favor of victory perching upon the banner of the
American host" With the exception of the last
these are all very worthy and harmless sentiments
He also denies, as we all do, the claim of the Pope
u 70 hold in his hands the keys Of heaven and hell !"
thinking no doubt, all do that the keys of
the latter place properly belong to Satan. We were
very much disappointed, by the way, in not finding
in this letter attack Saan-a parsonage invis-
lille, as the X. Ms used to be- and quite formi-
dable If the Pope Eliminates his thunders Satan
.roars and what is more dreadful he is constant
" going about" as the Pope is not, seeking
whom he NAV devour." But this omission (Which
will doubtless be supplied in some future letter. is
more than made up for by the mild, persuasive,
did, and elevated spirit which pervades the whole
letter and especially those portions of it in which
the writer speaks of his political opponents With
comnen!abc forbearance, he goes further than
to call his opponents " anti-Americans," and to
characterize them possessed of "eprous tongues
and only - modicum of brains and honesty" But
the most beautiful and impressive circumstance
ncctcd with this letter, is the fact that the writer
tiers into elaborate argument in favor of the Sc
cre>v of the X. n. party, and that too about the
time the secrcsy being abolished by the X. n.
Convention in Raleigh and this argument is brought
TO light six weeks after the sccreSy is declared to
have been removed. 1t is matter for regret, as
the Spectator" seems to think, that the publica
ton of the letter delayed. If the secresy has
ben abolished, it is well enough to show that
long as it preserved it was right; and one capa
bic of writing such letter that under considera
ton, can doubt produce another argument, of
equal force, on the other side.
