John Wentworth On Wilson Shan,

The Chicago Democrat uses the fol-
lowing language in regard to the newly
appointed Governor of Kansas. 1t seems
from all the representations of his friends
and enemies, as well as from his antece
dents, that he will be just such Cover
nor as the present rulers of Kansas would
wish him to be. Says Wentworth:
"Those who know Wilson Shannon,
know that he is a Southerner in all his
notions. AS much so as any one of the
firm of Douglas, Atchison, Stringfellow
d Co. He goes to Kansas to make Kan
sas slave State. His antecedents must
be known to Gen. Pierce. He was an
old Tyler man. Although elected to the
Office of Governor of Ohio by the Dem
ocrats, he came out with letter ndors-
ing John Tyler, and by the same John
Tyler he was given a foreign mission.
"By strange combination of circum-
stances he was elected to Congress for
one term, and for one only. During his
Congressional career he was a Southerner
in all his notions and all his votes. His
record is right, and, what is better, his
heart is right for Douglas and slavery
He goes to Kansas to infict a deadly
blight upon its rising hopes, and to curse
its people with bondage. 1t remains to
be seen who has the brighter future,
Reeder or Shannon; the patriot or trait
or
"Let Shannon recognize this mob of
Douglasites that now profess to be the
Legislature of Kansas, and the next
House ofRepresentatives will pin a clause
to the next appropriation bill that will
declare all such infamy void. There is
hope in the next Congress !"

The LOUISVILLE RToTs.-The Louis
vile Journal of Wednesday, in alludng
to the allidavits published with regard
TO the origin of the riots, says:
Never on earth was a fact more clearly
and triumphantly and incontestibly es.
tablished by the sworn testimony Of un.
impeachable men and women of all
parties and all religions, than the fact
that the bloody riots were commenced in
our quiet streets by Germans and Irish,
armed and iufuriated by native dema-
gogues. As yet there is nothing to
couneract that testimony, nothing to
weigh against it, except the irresponsible
assertions Of Sag Nicht editors, founded
upon nobody knows what. And still
other afiidavits can be, and in all prob
ability will be, procured and published,
revealing facts that will still further star
tie and shock the already startled and
shocked mind Of the community facts
which certain persons will shrink from
The sight of, as from the presence of
spectre. A feeble promise has been held
out from day to day, of certificates to
prove the Sag Nicht statements, yet six,
-een days have elapsed since the election,
and the certificates are not forthcoming

hills rising above, covered formiles around

There is one little picture, which we
