On the 22d of May an election was held il
hanzas to NIL the vacancies in eight district.
in which the election held on the 3Oth Of
March was declared null by Gov. Rcedcr. -

The Boston Courier, abiding to some of
the above facts, states in addition that the
Kansas free state newspapers are held back
on the frontier when there is occasion, and
that letters with intelligence mscarry in the
most outrageous way and advises. the north
ern public to be on its guard in receiving
" early news" from Kanzas.
1t is stated that members of the Kansas
Legislature, who received certificates from
Gov. Reeder, have adopted series of roso-
lutions declaring that they will disregard
the supplementary elections and admit the
candidates to whom the Governor refused
certificates.
Gov Reedcr made speech in PHILADELPHIA

A Vermont Ukase.

We find printed in the Burlington (Vt.)
Free Press special letter from a gentleman,
who enthusiastically calls himself 60 Truly
yours in the cause Of truth, 10, 25, 10, %, /,
I, o." This letter is addressed " to the mem
bers of the several Councils in the State of
Vermont" and is quite curiosity in its
way The Free Pres, explains that the letter
is written by j. NJ. Sladc, the President of
the State Council of Vermont 1t is written
apparently fo1 two purposes-First, it seeks,
IN softly saponaceous way, to indoctrinate
the Green Mountain Know Nothings in lust
and proper principles on the subject of slave
ry Mr.. Sladc is quite master of the mild
and meaningless palaver which so becomes
the genuine doughface. He shuffles very
prettlly, but with more fidelity to established
standards than originality. We may express
our opinions on the subject of slavery, but
Sachem Slade particularly requests the
brethren not to "aggravate." The ingre-
dients of this gentleman s dish are very fami-
liar and may be rapidly enumerated as fol-
lows, VIZ 80 question for the States them
selves-right spirit-dissolution of the Union
TO be heartily dcpreca ted-all members OF the
same mily-ciyil war-border broils-com-
motions-mourn and weep, &c, &C." The
opinion of Mr.. Slade seems to be that al
though know-Nothlng may have anti
slavery sentiments, yet he must express them
Senteeliy and gingerly. This was written
last April, hofnro Mr.. Wilson went up to
strengthen the Ethan Allen boys. What
crumbs are now administered to the chickens
ct that church we cannot say, but Mr. Slade
certainly gave them pretty poor pickings
but the numerical gentleman has another

New York, Dewitt & Davenport
In the debate on the important Church
Property bill subsequently passed into law
by the New York Legislature, Senator Brooks
of New York, made an elaborate speech,
March e, 1855 A long controversy in the
newspapers followed between him and Arch
bishop Hughes of New York, who charged
Mr.. Brooks with being guilty of gross and
impudent talsehood. The pamphlet before
us contains that speech and the controversy
at length Many who have read only part of
what appeared in the newspapers, will be
glad to see the whole. 1t is published in
cheap style, and is em5ellished with plain
wood cuts of the two combatants. In them
the Bishop appears very well lis represented
as a handsomer man than the Senator but
when we came to the inside of the work, to
" the cream of the correspondence" the
Bishop falls off sadly. The Senator proves
himself altogether the ADLER of the two. 1t
was unfortunate for the Bishop that he
point in dispute. Perhaps his feeling that
was the cause Of his showing a good deal of
obliquity and small quibbling, to say the
least, in his statements and augmentation
and of his free use of coarse and abusive
language, unbecoming gentleman and

Our relations with Spain.

We should be glad to know how much of
truth there is in the following statement of
the n. Y. Herald.
sit is understood that the government have
not entrusted Mr.. Dodge with pacific nstruc-
tions With reference especially to the events
winch have taken place since the termination
OF Mr. Soule diplomatic career, it is believed
that the tone OF Mr.. Marcy's dispatches
is rcremptory and decided perhaps nearly
AS much so as the original dispatches to Soule
were. The object Of course is not to dis
turb our relations with Spain but to keep open
an exciting and popular issue to be used for
the benefit OF the democrats at the next Pres
idcnual election
If this be true and there is nothing in the
character of the Administrati ton and it's pre-
vious dealings with Spain to make it improb-
able, it is worthy OF notice. Desperate
schemes and manTuvres at home, for the con-
tinuance of bad men in power, We have seen.
and expect. The stirring up of a broil with
a foreign nation, disposed in every way to
be at peace with us,-the keeping it alive by
spanish outrages" manufactured to order,
and the sending abroad an addle-pate,
with peremptory' instructions to renew
the difficulties and add new complications,
for the petty and contemplate purpose
OF keeping open an erciting and pop
u'ar issue 10 be used for the benefit of the
Democrats al the merit Presidential election,-
