FROM OHIO.
TOLEDO, ONO, Nor. a, Is;

TOLEDO, ONO, Nor. "a, 1855.
To tie Editor of the National Era:
/ have Just read the communication of cor.
respondent at Cadiz, in Harrison county, Ohio
signed l.. L., and published in your issue Of tie
18th instant, which, in my opinion, contains a
sentence calculated to convey a wrong impress
sion with regard to Mr.. Chases popularity and
standing in Ohio, though doubtless it was not
so intended. Your correspondent says "Mat
zoe fought the battle under many discouraging
circumstances, and Mr.. Chase ,oas great
load"
Now, the fact is, that no other man could
have so well united the friends of Freedom in
Ohio as Mr.. Chase. Some ten or twelve thou
sand Pro-Slavery Wings, who would have voted
for no prominent or reliable ti-Nebraska
man, voted for Governor Medill, in hopes OF
preventing, so far as the strength of parties
would indicate, any decided or popular expires
sion of the people on the Slavery question, such
as the election of Mr.. Chase would be conceded
and admitted by all to be. Add to this num-
per the twenty-four thousand ultra Pro-Slavery
proscriptiye Know Nothings, who voted for
Trimble, and yon have between thirty-six and
thirty-seven thousand voters, who were simply
opponents of this Administration from prejudice
and old antipathies, and not because of its Pro-
Slavery character, they themselves being the
very embodiment of doughfaceism and conserv-
atism. To man, these men voted against
Mr., Chase, but to a man they supported the
balance of the Republican State ticket, in or
der, if possible to justify the charge then every
where industriously and pertinaciously circula-
ted, of Mr.. Chase's unpopularity. So loud were
they in their clamors about Mr.. Chase being
o load upon the ticket, that many of our best
friends, both in and out of Ohio, appear to have
become deluded with such belief, when in
fact these men only raised the cry, and by fright
ening as far as possible away from Mr.. Chase
the liberal foreign VOTE and then either voting
themselves for Mr.. Medill or Mr.. Trimble, sue,
ceeded. as they thought, in making their decla.
rations appear plausible to the people.
The truth is simply this not one thousand
voters, of all the thirtysix or thirtyseven thou
sand who voted against Mr.. Chase, and for the
rest of the Republican ticket, would have voted
for any prominent Anti-N ebraska man, and the
great majority of them for no man not MEM
Der of the National Know Nothing organization,
subscribing to the doctrines of the Philadelphia
Platform.
Mr.. Chase, by his personal popularity, or, if
you please, by his unqualified devotion to the
great cause OF human freedom, was enabled to
overcome this unprinoipled combination, and
have clear majority of over $4,000 votes; and
in Twenty-Five counties in the State ran ahead
of Judge Swan, who, hut the year before, was
elected by over eighty thousand majority.

St. Louis, Dec. 3.-Advices from Kansas
state that Gov. Shannon has telegraphed the
President the condition of affairs in Kansas.
He states that 1000 men had arrived in Law
renee, and rescued the prisoners from the sheriff
of Douglas county, who were arrested for burn
ing the houses and other property, and asks the
President to order troops from Fort Leaven-
worth to aid in the execution of the laws.
Dispatches from Weston announce that start
ling news has been received from Atchison.
The Free State officers had taken possession of
important papers, and an attack on Atchison
was anticipated. The officers had sent to Wes-
ton for so armed men.

New HAVEN, Dec. l, 1855.
To the Editor of the National Era:


TO the Editor of the National Era:
We obtained glorious victory for Freedom
and the Maine Law in our town election last
Tuesday. The direct issue was Freedom, Maine
Law, and opposition to the present Administra-
ton. Our majority is 400, and it would have
been 600 or more if all those who are with US
had done their duty, more especially those of
rupt Administration party has received its death
wound in this town. Such, without the shad-
ow of doubt, is the fact, if the friends of good
law and order are only united.
Hartford, believe, has raised five thousand
dollars for the New England Emigrant Aid
Company, and trust we shall do as we'll here.
A very great majority of our best citizens are
deeply interested in Freedom for Kansas. We
have had of late several very interesting meet
ings on the subject, which were addressed by
Hon. Mr.. Thayer of Worcester, Mr.. Wilcox of
Kansas, and other gentlemen. Yours, &c.

SroCKBRIDGE, Nor. "a, 1855.

You will perceive that in those counties in
this State where the greatest amount of Anti
Slavery labor has been performed, and the Era
has had the greatest circulation, the Republi-
cans have carried the State, to wit Madison,
Oneida, Jefferson, st. Lawrence, and Onondaga,
&C., which should be stimulus and encour
agement to an energetic perseverance on thepart
of Anti-Slavery pioneers. In our little town of
Stockbridge, which used to be two-thirds Demo-
cratic, we had majority of Republicans of
thirty eght, over all the three other parties put
together. l tell you l felt richly paid for six
teen years. service in the good cause.
Respectfully, your friend and fellow-laborer,
DAVID WooD.

is more reasonable. Eben Francis, the larg-

Mr.. joseph Gilbert, who was attached e

and whose name was conferred BY the great
navigator on Gilbert's Island, resided al
Gosport, where according to the fashion Of
the day, he, like Count d'Artois, wore very
tight leather breecEes. He had ordered the
tailor to attend him one morning, when his
grand. daughter had also ordered her shoe
maker to wait upon her. The young lady
was seated IN the breakfast room, where the
maker Of leather Dreeches was shown in; and

she recovered her self possession after good
