GOVERNOR SHANNON, seems to be in trouble,
and his laundering to get out only involves him
the deeper. The last Kansas Herald of Freedom
contains two letters from him, one a very long one.
The one is denial that he avowed himself in ia
vor of Slavery in Kansas in his famous Weston
speech and the other that the ladies Of Chilocothe
ever presented him q red flannel peticoat as was
slanderously affirmed by some of his Western enc
mics. The Governor in due form makes over al
claim to this neither garment to Col. Allen to whom
II We remember right, it does in fact belong. We
are glad to see even this small indication of JUS
tice in the Governor. With regard to the other
letter he is not so fortunate. The Kansas papers
and the st. Louis Republican both discrcdit his
Excellency's statement and bring most incontesti
BILE proofs, that even Governors are not always as
truthful as they should be. The denial of the
Governor also stirs up the jealousy of the pro-sla'
very men so that evidently the Governor is in a
'muss." One of the Kansas pro-slavery Tapers
discourses of his denial as follows:
at was certainly reported and circulated in this
Territory that the Governor made a pro-slavery
speech ut Wcstport, but if he was misunderstood
or misrepresented, we are in favor OF putting him
right and allowing him to stand upon his own bot
tom. If it is FALSE" that he did make a pro-
slavery speech at Westport, let us know it. We
are Of the opinion that his Excellency should ex
p~licitly define his position. lie was received here
by the pro-slavery party with open arms, and we
had hoped that he was m favor of Slavery, but ii
we have been mistaken, let US hear from him more
definitely. If he is not a pro-slavery man and
intends to coalesce with the Freesoilers and Abo-
litionists, let US know it. We want no Executive
in this Territory who is adapted for two lati
tudes.o

Whereas the Subject of Slavery is being agita-
ted in the Annual Conferences of the Methods,

The legislature of this State met on Monday.
Mr.. Baily was elected Speaker of the Senate, and
Mr.. Sits Speaker Of the House. Both of them are
Democrats.
The Governor sent in his message on Tuesday.
1t is a very voluminous document, and is of course
mainly devoted to State matters. lie recommends
the legislature to provide for a State Convention in
case Congress refuses to admit Kansas into the
Union on account of her being a slave State, in
which case he advises a disruption of the Union,
but hopes the patriotism of the North will avert
such q calamity.

TIL OLD STRAIGHT-oUT WHIGs in Massachucetts
and elsewhere, seem to have some hope of resuci
tating their party from the fact of the election Of
Governor Gardner, and this though he was elected
by an opposing party.
The National Intelligcncer, too, thinks it sees
in the quadrangular vote Of the late Massachusetts,
election, the real Development of anti-slavery
strength in that State, and | it rejoices to believe i
in the minority as shown by Rockwells vote.

KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The Free State Constitutional Convention rs now
in session at Topeka, a town on the Kansas river.
James H., Lane, formerly a Democratic member OF
Congress from Indiana, who voted for the Nebras-
ka bill, has been chosen president. and d. Redpath'
an attachee of the St. Louis Democrat, official Re-
porter. The Convention seems to be eminently
conservative, and as we judge from such proceed
ings as we have seen, some of its members, are in
clined to thwart its avowed object.

CREDrrABIE TO THE LAwYERs.-lt is said that as
yet no lawyers in Kansas have been admitted to
practice in the Courts of the Territory. There are
many lawyers resident there, and we suppose, like
other men. in want of business, but none of them
will take the absurd oath required by the late
mob Legislature. If the statement be true, they
must have q remarkably fine set of fellows for .aw-
yers in Kansas. We guess the statement is rather
too GOOD to be true to the fullest extent.

Honest Democrats.

However men may differ on minor ques-
tions of policy, we have at the North hut
one opinion as to our rights. We all
know and feel that constitutional liberty
was invaded 10 Kansas, and that we have
been insulted in the person Of Gov. Rceder.
All this has been done by Slave Power,
which no more regards the rights Of the
white man than those of the black man,
or of the mulatto, but will oppress whoev-
or it can. I'he Convention which nomina-
ted Arnold Plumer, was under the influ-
ence of the Slave Power 1T applauded
the Administration which connived at,
aided in, and approved those outrages, and
degraded Gov. Reeder, and refused to con-
denim one of those acts.
VIII you endorse, BY your votes, the
representative of such an administration
There is no danger to your party in the
defeat Of such man, for the Public W orks
would still be under Democratic control ;
and the Canal Board will probably be soon
abolished, at any rate.
Here in Union county, where there arc
400 or 500 Wing majority, nearly every
Wing intends to vote for Democrat as
one Of the three County Commissioners
can not you, under the circumstances, re.
turn the compliment, and show the same
courtesy and liberality, by giving an

The ruff ms deputies who assumed to

pcrsed, the People held State Convention
at Big Springs on the 5th ult., attended
by full representations from the seventeen
districts. They resolved in favor of max
ing Kanzls a Free State, and keeping out
all colored population; disowned the au-
thority of Gov Shannon's crow appoint
ed an Election for Delegate to Congress on
the % Tuesday of October, about week
before the Stringfellows vote for their
man and avowed tha. they would protec
their rights to the last extremity. Gov.
Reeder was nominated for Congress, and
made a speech which was received with
immense enthusiasm.
If two Delegates are elected, and both
appear, the lower House of Congress will
have an opportunity to review and pro-
uouuce upon the whole proceedings from

return.

Passmnre Williamson.

This man has no desire for honors or
fame. When he told the poor woman that
she and her two sons could now enjoy
their heaven endowed right to liberty, he
had no more idea of the after-events than
you, reader, have Of being next President.
lie would not desire the Office Of Canal
Commissioner if be could have it. The
withdrawal of his name, for the good of
the cause he has at heart, will meet his
cordial appreciation. We know, however,
there are very many-in Lewisburg, IN
Union comfy, and in the State generally
who will regret that they can not testi-
fly by direct vote their honor Of the
man. About thirty Journals had raised
his name as their candidate, and in some
quarters he would have swept the field al
most clean. But his own best friends ad-
wise union upon another man, for the
greater good.
Since Mr.. williamson incarceration, his
vile has gwen birth to child and his
aged father also suffers from his absence
in the prosecution of their calling. But
neither the wife in the hour of her travail,
nor the venerable parent toiling on under
the accumulated weight of cares, advises
the husband and son to tell falsehood,
even to obtain release from prison. Much
as he desires freedom,h he loves truth more.
Judge Kane and Judge Black tell him,
the moment he perjures his soul by writ
ing a lie, that moment be is free he "holds
the key to his own prison" The passive
martyr to Satanic power is, however, un-

rg-A noble looking man-the very
image of "Uncle Tom''-in Lewisburg a
day or two since, was asked if he knew
Passmore Williamson? "Yes," said he,
"as fine a man as ever lived-he lives in
Arch Stall the colored people in Phila-
delphia know him-thcy love the ground
he walks on" Such is the concurrent
testimony of thousands of the best and
most intelligent men of that city. And
for telling poor woman the truth that
she was free in Pennsylvania, must he lie
in foul prison until he rots? Freemen
of ofPennsylvania give such a vote to his re-
presensativc-Thomas Nicholson-as will
make his prison door fly open, as did that
of Paul and Silas. Your voice may be as
potent as the sound Of the rams horns

\ \SSOCIATE j u d G. T.
A Bad Memory. Col, Ruhl,

One of the requisites of good Magis-
trate, is, that he have retentive memory.
This quality, it is generally considered
Col Euhl, one of the Mifflinburg candi-
dates for Judge, is very deficient in. We
give few examples.
Last Spring. he was very anxious to be
chosen Justice of the Peace, and as no
one else was anxious, it was given him,
he repeatedly promising on the ground
that day, that if Division should carry he
would go for Lewisburg for the County
Seat. Poor old man he has forgotten
that promise, and for the hope Of an Office
goes in for Miflinburg.
A few weeks ago, he went voluntarily
to Esq. Schrack, and asked him if he was
going to run for Judge? al have consen-
ted, and am in the hands of the people,"
was the reply. "Well, thcn," said Col.
Ruhl, eff you are going to run, l will not,
for you would defeat me- 1 had thought
of beng a candidate, but I have been bea-
ten twice, and don't want to be beaten a
third time. If you run, 1 promise you I
won't" And yet, in few days, he for.
gets all this proffer Of friendship, and is
running for the very Office he promised
not to.
We might 90 on to show how he has
forgotten the favors shown him by his
true friends in his better days-how he
has forgotten the way tha: Baum, Swine
ford & Co. have used him, moro recently,
getting his money, and running him to
help some of their candidates, deceiving
and fa.tering him in his unsuspecting
simplicity: but these examples are enough.
We would not say that a protesting
Christian, and leader in the church, would
wilfully and Intentionally tell an untrutb;
we would more charitably attribute his
false aud ridiculous position to forge:ful-
ness. But, to whatever we may ascribc
his want of honor, he has proven himself
unfit for the station to which he again as
pires.
Tho people want q firm, reliable, con-
sstent man, who can not be twisted one
day by one set of men, and the next by
another We are aware that there is no
expectation or intention of electing him
some supporting him to get his vote and
influence for Miffiinburg, and others en-.
couraging him in order to defeat Schrack
but he might be elected if attention is
not directed to the importance of having
men Of sound mind in the bench.

The Rnnsylcanian is (unintentionally)
doing excellent service to the " fusion"

is making known the fact that Nicholson
unites in himself the views of Wings,
