Wrong.

The Cleveland Leader copies an ex-
tract from the Lawrence correspondent
of the N. Y. Times, with some COM
ments, rejecting upon the Chairman of
the Executive Committee of Kansas
Territory" in the issuing of scrip to IL
quidate its Indebtedness incurred in the
incipient steps towards making Kansas a
State.
The description of the scrip given by
the Times, correspondent is simply false.
no such issue as he mentions has been
made.
While it is true that the Executive
Committee has issued certificates of In
debtedness, in the absence of any funds,
for actual services rendered in the forma-
tion of State Government, and have
pledged the faith of the State therefor,
yet not one dollar was issued until au-
thorized by the Constitutional Conven-
ton, after their re-appointment of the
Executive Committee. The amount to
be issued is limited, and it were well if
all the issues OF paper currency were as
well guarded as are the certificates of in
debtedness now being issued in the name
of the State of Kansas. No censure
should be attributed to the Chairman of
the Executive Committee more than to
its members and none to them more
than to the Convention that authorized
and commanded their action and none
to the Convention other than to the peo-
pie who sent them up to guard their in
terests, and who have almost unanimous
ly sanctioned their labors by the indorse-
ment of the instrument which gave the
authority to issue such scrip.
There is no consistency in the papers
of the Northern States which pretend to
favor the freedom of Kansas, in giving
publicity to every scurrillous attack upon
those who are laboring day and night
for the future good of our State. We
opine, that did they but know the aid
and comfort they were giving 10 the ene-
my, they would withhold many of the
miserable cock and bull stories they hear
of Kansas Free State men.
1t is argued that the North is ready
and willing to donate funds for the car
ryine on of our State Government
Gentlemen. your funds would be gladly
received: but if it is expected that the
Free State men of Kansas-those who
have emigrated from among you-bone
of your bone, flesh of your flesh, will
beg of you,-feel themselves as pension
ers upon your bounty. and be ready to
bow to the behests of your capital.
merely because you are able to render 70
us moneyed assistance. we must at
least have materially changed since we
left the States.
A great principle is at stake. We are
ready and wiling to carry out to the ut
most of our ability that principle. Your
assistance. either in influence or money,
viii be appreciated. You say the North
is .w;ll;ar to donate. How much will
the freemea of the North place in the
hands of the Executive Committee for
the carrying on Of a State Government !!
Will the Leader. who seems so ready to
.denounee the action of the Executive
Committee, take the forefront IN instl-
tuting collection of funds for our ben
eft? Until then let there be no alarans
sounded, especially if it is in derogation
of a Just and holy cause.-Frssnsa".

A Christmas Party of about fifty
couple, met at the Free State Hotel on
the evening of the 25th inst, and made
merry till morning. A supper vas pre-
pared by Mr.. VINCE and lady. which is
seldom equalled even in the 'sold coun-
try" We are truly glad to see our
friends enjoying themselves as well as
they do amid the numerous discourage
ments which surround them.

Burned by Pro-slavery Men.

1t is the opinion of every person we'll
informed on the subject in Kansas, that
the Coleman and Buckley houses at Hick-
DRY Pointwere burned by pro-slavery per-
sons. for the purpose of stimulating out
RACES upon Free State men. All the facts
which have come to light in regard to the
transaction go to sustain such a conyic-
ton.

Outrageous.

On Friday. during the war excite

Wakefield. Three of them entered the
house which was only occupied by Mrs.
Wakefield, her daughter and children.

New State Ticket.

1Hc correspondence Sifeu Det0W IN
dicates that WV. Y. ROBERTS, Esq. does
not sympathize very fully in the move
ment of certain disaffected politicians to
get up a new ticket for the forthcoming
election.
We learn that Judge Wakefield has
been nominated as a candidate for the
supreme bench by the same faction,
with Judge Johnston and G. w. Smith,
Esq. E. G. K. Carney is the nominee
for Treasurer, and Elliot of the Free
State for State Printer in short we be-
lieye nearly the whole. board of disap-
pointed political aspirants have been
looked after on this ticket, and yet, with
two or three exceptions, every nominee
expresses no sympathy for the move
ment.
LAWRENCE, K. T., Dec. 26th, '55.
HoN. w. Y. RoBERTs-DEAR S1R:-
The undersigned, delegates to the late
Free State Nominating Convention, hear
ing that certain disafected parties have,
in private caucus, changed the nomina-
tons made by that Convention, so far as
to substitute the name of Charles Rob-
inson for your own for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and your name for his as Governor
and are now engaged in circulating
this action as the action of the legitimate
Convention, desire to know if you are
aware of these facts, and if SO, whether
you approve of or viii countenance such
a course. Very respectfully yours,
w. NJ. MCCLURE, 7th Sen. Dis.

Messrs. MCCLURE, LOWRY, AND I'm
MERMAN-GENTLEMEN Your note of
this date is to hand, and in reply have
to say that | have heard the report to
which you refer, and that have had no
connection or sympathy herewith but,
on the other hand, have opposed the
movement from beginning to end, as dis
organizing and opposed to the interests
of the Free State party of Kansas, and
shall continue to discountenance the
movement should it be persisted in.
Very truly, your obedient servant,
w, Y. ROBERTS.

received the following note from Mr..
REDPATH:
LAWRENCE, Dec. 90, 1856.
EDITOR OF THE Herald OF FREEDOM
SIR II am authorized by Mr.. J. A.
Wakefield to state that HE WILL NOT Ac-
cEPT any nomination on the opposition
ticket. Mr.. Parrot required me to say
in his name that be would notaccept ANY
State office under any circumstances
and Judge Johnston, also, gave the Leav-
enworth delegation similar and equally
positive instructions.
JAMES REDPATH.
We are glad to learn that Col. Lane,
also, opposes the loaves-and-fshes ticket.
He justly says that he would not consid-
er himself worthy of the confidence of
the party if he failed to support the reg
ular ticket; and adds, further, that the
regular ticket is not, as the disappointed
office-seekers charge, an abolition af-
fair"

the despotic decision of Judge Kane, and the
