Mr Washington Hunt has recommended OLE
epistolary labors in The service Of the SlgerGrey
faction which bolted from the Wing State Convex
ton which nominated him-whi.h got up 9" Union
"Saftty" ticket to defeat him-snd which missed
no opportunity 10 dtparage and disconhs him 20
long as he remained faithful to the friends OF bis
better days. Those friends nominated him in loos
for reelection as Governor; but the Union savers
secretly, treacberousIy voted for Pierce and Sey-
mour. ard knocked Mr.. Hunt in the head BY some
20, 600 msjority. Every vote Of that majority was
cat BY these whose game Mr.. Hunt ID now play
ing and whose cause be is psrsistently petdfogeins
We cannot wish him 20 Iii as to desire that he may
be treated By them-should they ever have
chance to Route his services-ss be has treated
his old con rades.
Mr. Hunt came late into the Wing party, having
been its decided antagonist during several OF iss
earlier years; and he would seem ambitious to
serve out his time by working for it several years
after il IL dead. That would be only an excess OF
chivalry; but Mr.. Hunt incIines to bestow his ser
vices, not on the great mass Of the Wing party,
who stood by its flag while it waved, but on the
gueirllas and cowboys whe infested its camp during
its latest campaigns, kicking up rows in its con-
ventiOns, boiling its nominations, and leasuins In
secret with its deadly enemies to defeat ard destroy
it This they at length effected, buTying Mr. Wash
iDston Hunt in it's ruins; whereupon our meek
friend Gigs himself out of the heap and commences
dipgipg the frsi ments thus detached at the heads
of the constant and generous friends he has now
ported from. Perhaps he will build himself up
again by this policy-we shall wait and see.
Mr. hunt, while doing the work of the K. Ms,
profetses not to belong TO their concern. He plays
the part of an outside dscoy for them, just as MIR.
James Brooks outside of the lodges cooperates
with Erastus inside in advancing their mutual for
tures. To all intents, the position, the aims and
the principles of these three ere exactly alike And
the duty assigned to Mr.. Hunt 10 the present
struggle IA to induce some friends Of Free Kansas
TO ca,t their votes for Fillmore and DonelsOn.
This Is the way he sets about it:
"The Ks1sss question, which has made one party,
will as speedily unmake it, whenever law ana oreer
end right are once more established oy the innate
sebse Of justice which ultimately prevails and winch
las hitherto canied Institutions safely through
every conflict which threatened their security We are
not respor sibe for the present state OF affairs. we
lave bone no pat in creating these new political
combinations Neither have we any interest IN the
result of the Preside contest beyond the concern
Which every good citizen must feel in the national
wefere. Surrey. we have no personal ends to ad-
vance no ambitious hopes to be gratifed. We can
indulge &c other motive than the desire to secure an
honest patriotic Administration, which can be relied
on to remedy existing evils go far as this may come
within the competency of the Executive Government.

calm disnteftsted and impartial exercise OF the night
Of suffrage. Let discharge this duty with perfect
Independence, Influenced by no partisan passion, but
animated BY the same love Of country, the same prac

There ere just two destinies before Kansas
l. 20 become Free State; 2. To become Slave
State. The question must coon be decided; no one
can doubt that. In all human probability, il will
be decided By the issue of the pending Presidential
election. TIE Border Rufians are open-mouthed
ard hot for Buchapan; and we believe the majority
Of the party supporting him will be greater this
year in Western M,::ao.ri than ev-r before. South
Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, and all the States
most intent on subjagstng Kansas to Slavery, viii
also vote for Buchsnan. The Free-State party Of
Kansas with their friends and sympathzers In
every State, are ardenily supporting Fremont,
ard hope for his election to give a
death blow to the wrongs and prosecutions to
which they have long been subjected. We know
that Col Fremonts election will secure Freedom
to Kars as; we apprehend that Mr.. Buchanan's
will consign it to perpetual Slavery. And what Of
MIR. Fillmore We know that the great body Of
Lie supporters in Congress talk and vote with the
eDslaveIs of Kansas; we know that they sustain
Whitfield as Delegate and the atrocious code i'm
posed on Kansas by Border. Rufisn usurpation.
We know that they vote against admitting her with
he Free-State Constitution; we don't know hat
they ever vote on her side, nor that Mr.. Fillmore
differs frcm them on this subject. If Mr.. Hunt is
better posted on the subject will he be coed enough
to eblighten his friends The paragraph shove
quoted does not shed much light on the matter.
