AdmtsdtOm OF = MkssOurinn,
Those Of our people who charge the Kan
sas difficulties to the Aid Society, will please
read the following testimony Of the Mirror,
published in Springfield, Green County,
Missouri.
KANSAS DHTIcULrIEs.-There is one thing
connected with kanzas and her difficulties
| that others probably, as well AZ ourselves,
have noticed, and that is this: Ever since
the commencement OF difficulties in that Ter
ritory, there has been parcel Of men ready
to add to the excitement by spreading false
alarms all over the country. On the frs,
approach OF danger, such men a. X. G. Ro-
bcrts, and others OF like kidney, who are
emore expert in holding horses than in the
use Of the rifle, frsnticAlly rushes into Mis-
souri,, crying that the Abolitionists are MUIR.
dering all who oppose their will, and Offer
them any resistance. Others, like Atchison
aud Stringfellow, send forth incendinry ap-
peals calculated to stir up bad blood, and
lead the uuthoughted into acts Of violence.
These men also tell us that it il all family
quarrel--that government has nothing to do
with it, and no right to interfere.
From these fscss the people can readily see
who il 10 that is keeping up the excitement
and urging their neighbors TO become viola
tors Of the laws Of the land. The Pierce
administration, BY its acts, first brought
about the difhculties, and now, with the MD
OF the abolitionists, keep them up. We find
the President encouraging men in the idea
that government has no right to interfere
and quell these disturbances, by refusing to
order out the United States troops by re-
fusing to move a finger to sllay the excite
mens. Party drill and purity tactics keep him
silent, for fear it will have bad effect in
the Presidential election. It was by such
acts and by such men that caused the people
to be stigmatised as "Border Rufhans, -
throughout the land, and almost looked upon
- Get Of abandoned outlaws.

Know Nothing Proclivities.

1t cannot be longer concealed from the pub
lie eye that Know Nothingsm North is rap
idly allying itself to Black Rcpubicanism and
in the South it is taking position that can
not but be rninous to the independence and
just rights. of the slave States. In truth Know
Nothingsm in the South is rapidly degcnerat-
ing into an auti-sOuthern purity and the sooner
its deluded victims, among the masses and the
planters, can be warned Of this startling truth,
,he better will 1t be for them and their inter-
csts.
In the North the facts are too clear and
palpablc to admit of contradiction, that Know
Nothings and Black Republicans, or in other
words Eillmorc's and Fremonts friends are
cordially uniting and fusing together for the
object Of II common victory, whilst many other
Know Nothings have openly declared their
preference for Fremont and gone over boldly
to his support; among this latter class is no
less parsonage than the president of the con-
vention which nominated Fillmore These
things indicate the unmstakable weakness of
Fillmore in the Northern States and leaves no
doubt upon the mind of any man of common
sagacity that he is not there considered, in
the contest at all That he will not carry u
single free State is as certain as any fixed fact
Let any one who may, note this down and see,
when the result comes whether we desire to
deceive or not.
The position which Know Nothingism in the
South has taken against The South, is fast re
ducing its already feeble force, throughout the
whole South, and leaves the inevitable conclu
sion that not slave State will so far dsgrac,
and dshonor itself as to cast her electoral yot,
for Willard Fillmore.
The Democratic and many Of the old Viii:
presses warned the people, at the outset
against this insdious foe to the South, the,
told them that it was a New England ism fore
boding no good to the South and should no
be trusted or countcnanced. These warning
have proved true and Know Nothingism ha
disclosed itself and proven itself to be nothing
more nor less than an inclined plane TO ABoLl
TIoNIsM, the effects OF which are now apparen
in the South. The inveterate passions ant
prejudces and hatreds which it has generated
among its blind votaries has hurried then
onward into factious opposition to the high
est and most vital interests OF the South. Ii
truth it has organized an ant.-southern part!
in the South,
Let the south be warned Of the insidiou
dangers that beset her.

GEN. JACKSON AND MIR. BUCHANAN

We give place below to II very interesting
letter from Justice Catron, Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in reply to IN IN
qury by Andrew jackson. Esq. 1t establish
es, on authority which cannot be questioned
the fact that Gen jackson urged the nomna-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan to the Presidency in
1914, after the publication Of Mr.. Van Burcns
unti-TcXas letter. This clear and conclusive
statement Of facts dispcrses the misrcprescnta-
tons of our opponents in regard to Gen. Jack
sons want of confidence in Mr.. Buchanan. 1t
shows that, at time when Mr.. Van Buren'S
detection had rendered Gen jackson naturally
suspicious of those who had been his most
trusted friends, he selected Mr. Buchanan as
the man of all Others in the Union, To he placed
at the head Of the Democratic column of the
Government. The isolated expression in II
solitary letter, eXtorted from Gen. jackson by
the ariiul Misrepresentation of II disappointed
dependent, weigh nothing against this deliber.
ate recommendation 10 his friends, in "A crisis
which brought into exercise his best and clear
est Judgment.
General Jackson may almost be said to have
been the father and founder OF the Democratic
party Of the present day. He ut least revived
the party of Jefferson from the ''no-party'
fusions of Monroc's administration, and rcStor-
ed it to its original purity and strength. There
is not man that knew him who doubts that,
were he alive to-day, when not only the great
party of the Union, but the Union itself is in
peril, Mr. Buchanan would be his first choice
as the man to save both, MS he was his first
choice in 1914, when lesser trrasons weakened
the party without putting the Union itself in
danger.

De4r SIR: In your note Of yesterday Won
desire me to state my recollection Of certain
remarks that occurred in conversations in my
presence ut the Hermitage in 1914, between
Gen. Jackson and others, IN regard to the prob
able action OF the Baltimore Convention, etc.
In 1874, when the delegates were on their
way TO the Baltimore Convention, from \ la
bama and Tennessee, Gen jackson wrote Il
note TO General Armstrong the Postmaster at
Nashville, saying, that he Genera jackson
wished to see and have conversation with
some Of his friends on the subject Of n proper
candidate to be presented by the Convention,
and to come early next morning 10 the Her
mitag." Gen. Armstrong and myself drove
up very earl y; nor do | rccoIlcct whether any
other person indicated in the note got there in
time. A long private conversation was held
by Gen. jackson with those he had invited, mt
which Gen Armstrong and myself were pres.
ent, | well rccolcct
The General had been warm friend of Mr..
Van Buren,; nor did know that he had chang.
ed his mind till that morning He then con-
cured with his friends present, that it $
not possible for the Democratic party to elect
Mr. Yam Buren, in the face of his letter con
demning the acquisition OF Texas.
Mr.. Van Buren, being ont of the question,
the next matter OF discussion was, who of our
prominent friends was qualified to fill the high
Office OF President and c rred with him the
elements of success, in contest with the emil
nent leader Oh the other side, Mr.. Clay, who,
it was not doubted, would be the Wing candi-
date. We discussed the fitness Of our friends,
and gave our opinion with entire freedom
When we got through, Gen Jackson said he
did not doubt that Mr.. Buchanan ought to be
the nominee.
When we returned to the parlor consider
able number Of gentlemen were there, and
others were coming in, from Nashville The
conversation OF course turned on politics and
the probable complexion Of the Convention,
and what it ought to do. Some one asked the
General bluntly, who he thought should be
selected as the candidate. He promptly re-
piled: "lt is not possible for our friends to
support Mr., Van Buren, in the face of his let
ter opposing the acquisition and annexation of
Texas; and amongst our other prominent
friends, have no hesitation in saying, that my
opinion is, Mr.. Buchanan should be selected by
the Convention as our candidate.n
There We're several delegates present but |
do not recollect any one of them eycept Mr.
Turner, Of Huntsville Alabama
The foregoing account is the substance Of
my recollection of the conversation to which
your note refers
Most respectfully, your obcdient servant

The late pretended convention of old line
Wigs in Baltimore was one of those transpa-
rent audacities which no other party but that
desperate and sinking faction Of Know Moth
ingism would have had the efirontery to at
tempt to palm off upon an intelligent people as
n genuine demonstration. We have the au-
thority of several old line Wing papers for
saying that the delegates from the various sec.
tons of the country to that convention were
Knop Nothing Wigs who belonged to the
order since its conception and who have always
acted with it, The Louisville Courier, an
old line Wing paper says that those who went
as delegates from that place were the simon
pure Sans of the intensest grade. The ST..
Louis Republican, another old line Wing pa
per, also says that the delegates from that
quarter were Of Sans progeny and no mistake,
and so it was every where else. The whole
crowd was an unmixcd gathering Of Know
Nothings save as to color, Of black, gray, and
grzzlcd. There were black Know Nothtngs,
gray Know Nothings and grzzled Know
Nothings, and this was the only distinctive
feature among them, Sans, Sambos, and Sam
borines.
In what n pitifnl plight does Know Nothing
ism exhibit itself, in this miserable attempt to
invoke the honor and responsibility Of the old
name and party Of Wing? A party which
they boast of having ruined: party which
they have slandered, as guilty Of violated
pledges, of obnoxious acts and corruption
Will any one, but n simplcton, believe for a
moment that real Old line Wings, assembled
in convention, would so utterly stultify them,
selves, as to endorse, or give aid and comfort
to faction that has made these base and
sandcrous charges upon them? Never
