New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1856-10-01

Nearly Twelve Thousand Dollars have been sent
to this Office mainly in small sums, for the relief of
those who in defiance of a thousand obstacles and
discouragements labOring and suffering to make
Kansas a Free State. We did not suggest this
particular subscription-we should have much pre-
ierred its collection and application through some
other channcl-but We acguiesced in the suggestion
Of correspondent when it was seen to be probable
that more money would be sent to THE TRIBUNE
office than to any other focus. Every dollar that
has reached us, save small balance now in
hand, has been handed over, along with our own con-
tributiOn, to those who are entrusted with and
responsible for the chief conduct Of the Free Kan
sas cause. And we have no doubt that every
larthing Of it has been and ill be- wisely and
effectively appropriated. Had the amount been
ten times as great, If would not have exceeded the
urgent needs of the cause. If the Frec-State men
shall mainly be enabled to stay in Kansas until the
dawniDg of better day, in which TO love liberty
will not be crime there, The TRIBUNE KANSAS
FUND will have done its part toward that consum-
nation.
For the moment, the Free. State cause in Kansas
is Frustrated. Its enemies reyel in the possession
of uncontested power. They are about TO hold an
election 20 ratify and confirm that power. In that
election, the FreeStatc men will have just such
fortune Us the Border Ruiiians shall vOuch5afe
tlcir If the Free State men should generally re-
solve to yOte-as we presume they Will Mother
rro.Sayery masters can stop three-tourths OF them
by challenging and applying the test-oaths. Or
they can lee; them vote and overbear them by an
influx of dollar voters who will claim to be nop
actual residents. Or they may drive them from the
polls as they did in many districts in March OF
last year; Or hunt them out of the Territory, rs
they did when they found them likely to carry the
late Charter Election in Leayenworh Whatever
the Free.State men may carry in or gain BY his
election will be Just what their enemies choose, for
sppearance's sake, to concede them.
But there is an Election at hand which the
Border -Ruffians cannot manage, and We trust their
allies cannot carry 1t is that Of anew President and
Concress by the American People This election is the
last hope of Kansas. Slavery is now inrenched on
her soil behind what is falsely pronounced Law,
with Federal cannon grimly studdng the back
ground And unless this law can be proclaimed
and treated as the mpudcnt fraud II truly IL,
Slavery is as firmly fastened Kansas Us on Mis-
sour herself.
john c. FREMONT is the candidate, and the
only candidate, Il those who stand for Free Kan
sas and scout the bloody mposture of the bogus
.Territoral laws If he is elected, those laws
fall. and Freedom rises in their stead. If he Is
beaten, Free Labor in Kansas IS dead without
hone Il resurrection.
There has been recently established at No. l5l
Nassau street Volunteer Fremont Document
Committee Of which several of our most respect
able citizens are members. Ii is doing great and
much.needed work in sending documents, free OF
cost so far as its means will admit, to those local.
tiles in which the Republican cause is relatively
weak, and where other means Of supply are not
obvious We urge our friends in such localities
to send to this Committee for documents, stating
how many they need, and OF what kinds We ask
our friends in ali localities TO send this COMMITTEE
som,thisg toward the prosecution OF this good
work. Send what you can afford and are prompted
by youl loye of the cause to giye-thOugh be but
dollar, send it, if il be 500 do not halye H. but
send the whole We know that this Committee is
doing great and needed work. Let not It's hands
be- paralyzed, but act and act promptly.
