Letter from Pennsylvania.

FRIEND BHowN Il take it for granted
that you are with us heart and hand il
the new political movement known a.
know Something's but Ibelieve quit.
as readily recognized under the Yankee
cognomen, stJonathan.'' %
The order is fully organized in this
State. and is progressing finely. All the
secret organizations therefore of this
character are blended, and e Plxribus
Unum. The "Sams" are going over en-
nasss, and although some of our election
returns may be credited to Sam,- yet
assure you that all candidates elect are
the workmanship of Jonathan. Sam is
dead! Plucked up by the roots Bur-
ried in cotton
propose that each and every member
of the order pay l25 cents to proper
person TO be selected in each Council
throughout the Union, and that the sey-
eral Presidents solicit donations to =
general fund TO be appropriated for the
advaneemento of freedom in Kansas. 1t
appears the south have an organized fund
to establish slavery let US raise fund
to restore the bulIarks of freedom, which
have been broken down by violence
Unless / greatly err it will be needed to
carry important cases from your Courts
to higher tribunal where justice and
law can be administered without partial
ity. You have crisis to pass through
in Kansas of which few in the States
have any just conception. Every artifce
of the slave power will be employed to
gain plausible pretext for commencing
an onslaught upon you.
They dare motto contend with the whole
civilized world, and meet its SCOTS, on
the true plea of exterminating your peo
pie because they are opposed to slavery
extension; but'if they can get up any
other issue, it matters not whatit is, they
will do it.
I observe your people have taken
very efficient action for the suppression of
intemperance, and have actually expelled
it from your town. / shall be surprised
if they do not set up some such Issue as
that, perhaps send some individual a
mong you to engage in the liquor traffic,
with the express purpose of involving
you in difficulty. Let them take um-
bragg on thas or any other account, We
shall understand the true issue in the
State, and sustain you to the last extrem-
ity.
Avoid any divisions among free State
men 4! Sacrifice everything but princi
pie to secure freedom to Kansas If the
South desires another sacrifice, let her
have it. The cup of their iniquity is
already full. A God of justice has heard
the innulnerable prayers which has as
cended on the wings of faith to his
throne, and He stands ready to execute
the penalty of a violated law upon them.
Every movement of your people is
watched with more circumSpeetion at this
moment than is the affairs at Washing
ton. Every paper is hastily looked over
to see if there is any news from Kansas.
Your own is passed from hand to hand,
until nearly worn out. I have eHdeav-
ored to preserve fls; but fear ! shall
be compelled to send for another, as
those already on hand are too much
worn for binding.
Our corn is now eighteen inches high |
We have had everything but good wealth
er, but it is now growing warmer. Flour
fell at Mesdyille this week from si2 to
s8,25 barrel. Harvest is at hand
Rye will be ripe next week. and wheat
the week after. They will be medium
or good crop, as will be the case with
hay. Apples. vey fair product; but
few peaches. Grapes nearly cut off !;
plums, nothing; cherries, q half yield.
To you, friend Brown, if wora af-
fords any assistance, ! will send you as
. pioneer of freedom to Kansas, three
long. loud cheers and Liberty p
and further assure you that your bold
and fearless stand in defence of human
welfare ever since my acquaintance with
you, meets not only mine, but the hear
ty response and approval of the true and
the good everywhere.
Truly yours for the Triumph of the
Right. O. I. HOBBS.
