Letter from Cleveland.
CLeyELAsD, Ohio, July 4, 1855.

ence lay 10 give you ana your readef
an inkling of the disposition of the pub
he mind growing ous of the recent un
paralelled outrage upon the elective fran
ehise in your Territory. and the probabl
issue that awaits the Kansas question.
You may then first note it down as
''fxed fact" that Kansas can never com
into the American Union as slave stat
never, never, never. This is not mer
assertion by tyro in the observance o
political movements /; but it is the legiti
mate conclusion derived from data, th
reliableness of which no sane man cal
doubt. Had the Kansas question beel
permitted 10 have worked itselfout fairly
and the citizens of the Territory beeI
allowed by an impartial ballot to hay
said that Kansas should bea slave state
apprehend that there would be but lit
tle-or no opposition TO her admission
But the course pursued by the Blacl
Power to fasten the institution upon thu
Territory has entirely oyershot its mark
and will prove its utter ruin. Men, who
six months ago We're considered ths
strong champions of the slave power a
the North-such as old bunker Demo
Gratis Silver Grey Wings, &c, declare
that. henceforth they must be considered
"a positive element against the further
extension of the institution of slavery
and unsparingly heap their denunciations
upon every man favorable thereto, from
Frank Pierce down, down, down-cleal
down to Dave Atchisen.
l am safe in saying that an over
whelming majority of the people of the
entire North rather than see Kansas a
slave state of this Union would prefer to
see the Union itself shiyered into ten
thousaLd atoms They say they love the
Union but when ii becomes impotent to
secure to the citizens of the republic the
highest and dearest rights of freeman,
1t is no longer worthy of preservation.
The cause of all this feeling is gener-
ally attributed to that miserable nincom-
poop at the White House, whom it has
been customary to honor with the tide Of
President. There sits the, poor idiot,
Nero-like, with his hideous and maniacal
grin, gloriously reveling in the conflagra-
ton of the republic that has been kindled
at his own instigaLion if not with his own
hands.
The meanest and lowest of all the mean
and low things that this desperately mean
and low man, Frank Pierce, has been
guilty of, is the desperately mean and
low, cowardly and brulalattack justmade
upon his Excellency Gov. REEDER. 1t
Is well known to you, sir, and all the cit
izens of Kansas, that Gov. REEDER went
to Washington with his pockets full of
papers to prove his innocence of any
wrong doing in his transactions with the
half breed Kaw lands. Of the two
months his Excellency spent in the East,
SIX weeks were spent in Washington with
his Imperial Lowness, Frank Pierce,
Esq, lawyer DC. and his os-tute cabinet,
and yet never an intimation was heard
during all that time of the half breed
kaw lands. Reeder thinks all is right
and starts to resume his official Terri
torial duties. A letter from Pierce,
through third person, intercepts him
at New York telling him that his su-
preme highness, F. Pierce, DC, feels
embarrassed" to see how he Reeder
can fill the exalted position of Governor
SO long as certain charges remain
against him for specializing in half breed
kaw lands.
The wonder concerning Pierce is, not
that he should always do wrong. by de-
sign, but that he should never do right
by accident.
l know not whether God in his infinite
mercy viii forgive a thing SO degraded as
Pierce, but am well satisfied the free
men of the North never will They have
attributed his misdeeds to =
plentiful lack of brains;% they now look
upon them as the result of determina-
ton to "do evil and evil continually"
| see by recent accounts that the propa
ganda are still bent on the destruction of
Lawrence. Let them do so. 1t will
provo the last nail in the coffin to all their
hopes Like the Drsgon's teeth sown by
the inyincible Spartans, armed men will
be seen springing up every where in de-
tense of the free State cause
The most significant sign of the times
is the split in the great Know Nothing
As you will have learned
ere this reaches you, Sam" metin coun-
Gil and brought all his mighty intellect
TO bear III saving the Union. But 2
would not do; ''Sam" became exhausted; :;
was at acked by mortal disease; kicked
up his heels, and gave up the ghost
There let him lie.
But what went ye out for to see!-
Behold a greater than Sam is here. y
The Know Something's have just closed
a National Convention at Cleveland
Delegates from every free State and sew
eral slave States were in attendance.
You can easily judge of the whole pur-
pose of the party by the observance of
that large and beautiful plank in its plat
form. Here it is:-"Freedom is nation
Al, slavery sectional" Jonathan" has
some nerve about him. Advise your
friends. if be comes out that way, to treat
him kindly. You may stand in need of
MS help.
Il is astonishing to see che very great
change that has been wrought, political
y, in the public mind of the Northern
States, since the Kansaselection Of March
Both. That single election has forever
sealed the doom of slavery. You may
rely upon this. 1t is utterly impossible
hat Kansas. Nebraska, or any other Ter
ritory, can ever be admitted into the
Union as slave State. The people have
lecreed it. And neither the toadyism Of
Pierce, the low, vile, bawdy-house har-
.ngues of Douglas, nor the clustering
oraggadocio ofbully Atchison, can avert
he doom. You shall hear from me
