"What shall be done for Kansas, " is the anx-
ious inquiry Of thousands who regret the result Of
the Presidential contest mainly because Of the
shadow it casts over the hopes and prospects OF the
sorey tried Free-State settlers Of that afflicted
eion. Instead of terminating all sOlictude for
bleeding Kansas" as our adversarics confidently
predicted, the election of Buchanan has deepenei
and widened that sOicitude As evidence Of this,
we give few citations from letters which reached
us yesterday. The first is from a small fumng
township in Western Vermont, which gave Fremont
80 votes for President to II for Buchanan and |
for Fillmore:

Here is kindred exhibition Of the same
spirit:
10 The Editor Of T1eN y Tri6une;
SIR: One of our BucbaIeers being anxious to be,
tst the vote of this State would be asst for Buchanan
took the bet with the determination that in case
should be the winner, would scud the money to aid
the cause of Freedom in Kansas and as our little
state / as given Shrek for Freedom, inclo.e the
amount s25l to THE TRIBUNE fund, with the sugge5
ton that inose Republicans who have been 80 fors
nate as to Hted the pockets Of the Shamocras would
do well to follow suit, and appropriate their winnings
to bleeding kaDs0s. GEO. PIERPQST.
Bristoi, Conn, Nov. ~, l65S.
Thee are not all the letters of ike purport re-
cei,ed during the day. but they must suffice for the
present. We hear on all sides of sewing circles,
church collections, Kansas Aid Societies and even
private parties given TO promote the triumph of Free
Labor in Kansas; and we feel confident that more
will be contributed to this end in the three months
that follow than were collected in the three months
preceding the Presidential election. The fact that
every Western Free State but Indiana Gin fact ccery
Free State but Indiana, unless California be oil ex-
ccption) has henceforth an Executive favorable to
Free Kansas, must tell in our favor. We foresee
months, perhaps years, of trial and suffering for
Free-State peope-many of them will be called to
suffer III property and person, and some to lose their
lives but the end, We do strongly hope, will richly
pay for all.
who is likely ever to give any thing in aid of
the Free.State cause need be assured that no shil
ling confded to us as contribution to that cause,
was ever devoted to the election Of Fremont or of
any body else. Every penny has been paid over as
required in support Of the operations of the
National Kansas Committee, aud applied to the
feeding and clothing of the People of Kansas, or to
their defense against their Oppressors. What
ever sums shall hereafter be sent us 10 aid of that
cause will take the same direction. We claim no
right to divert il TO any political object nor even to
disburse il in relief of those who claim to have suf
fcred for the Free-State cause. Those who can as
conveniently hand their contributions directly to
the Kansas National Committee or some author
lied agent thereof will find that course more adj
visable; but we SHALL hereafter as hitherto, thank
fully receive and pay over any sums that may be
oIfded to our care.
OF course, We shall continue to hear complaints
as hitherto, that nothing has been received or
realized by the sufferers in Kansas; for those whose
necessities compel them to accept relief from this
fund do not make proclamation of the fact, while
thOsewho have personally receivednothing will infer
and complain that nothing has been done. This
was to have been expected. Ten thousand dollars
will not 60 far in relieving the necessities of fifteen
or twenty thousand people who have been through
the past season withheld from productive labor by
the aarums stern actualites of civil war, and of
whom large number hsye had their cattle stolen
or slaughtered before their eyes, while many have
bad their rude dwellings burned over their heads
A hundred thousand dollars would no. suffice for
repairing the losses Of the last Summer; and if so
much were raised and fairly distributed, We should
hear loud complaints, after ALL that the most needy
or most des CRYING had received nothing. But $780,
eco will relieve much distress and save thousands
from absolute famine; aud so much we believe will
be raised aud sent to Kansas within the next two
months. This will enable thousands to remiin who
would otherwise be starved out and compelled to
leaves ard our people have but to brave and endure
ior year or two longer to insure the victory to
Freedom. Industry beats idiencss wherever the
TWO have fair fed; and, though such field is
not accorded in Kansas, we still have hope that the
Right will prevail.
