One thing is certain-the Missourans were
wrongly informed. If they had had true
statement of the facts before they left home,
they would have STAYED there.
T. 5. However, there is one joke, which
must tell. After the men had been gathering
several days, couple of young Yankees CON
cluded that they could go to Kansas city, in
Missouri, AFTER howitzer, which was there for
them, notwithstanding the road was blocked
by guards. They went and got their cannon,
and started for Kansas Territory. Some of the
Missouri boys thought they must see what the
I'D Yankees " had, and stopped them
40, yes" said one of the Yankee boys, you
may see what's here, if you wish" So the tops
of boxes began to fly off, until all were open
but two. "Well," says the Yankee. "do
you want to know what's in this 2" YES"
"Well, it's the wheels of Hutchson's wag-
on" They tore off the top, and there were the
wheels, sure enough. Yankee A" Do you want
to know what's in the other box?n Missouri

further molestation. The other boz toas the

THE ORDER DOING THE WORK OF SLAVERY

The Wisconsin Free Democrat, having cop-
ed a large portion of our article entitled, "Sur-
vey of the Field" &C., comments as follows
awe submit that this is candid view of the
whole subject We believe that the Order is
now doing the work of Slavery far more eff
fectually, in the free States, than if it openly
joined the Pro-Slavery and sham Democracy !;
for, in that case, no one would be deluded by
it, and the, Anti-Slavery members of the order
would desert instantly, by thousands. We call
the attention of the members OF the Order in
the State, to two facts. The american, the
organ of the party in this State, has declared
its determination TO support the National Know
Nothing party and its Presidential nominee
and has said that George Law, as thoroughly
Pro-Slavery Hunker as the North ever pro
duced, is the most probable candidate of the
party for the Presidency.
at has also declared, and repeated the decla.
ration, that the Know Nothing National party.

Kansas Nebraska, and Fugitive Slave Act Plat.
form, stands as fairly and squarely on the Sla-
very question as any National party can-thus
admitting that the Know Nothing party, as a
National party, is obliged to adopt the same
Platform on the Slavery question, and sanction
all the Slavery deeds and outrages, which
this sham Democracy have done, under the
Lead OF Pierce, Douglas, Atchison, and String.

and by the irrefragable testimony of history, Is

ATTACKS ON KNOW NOTHINGS.
WHITEFoRD, Lucas Co., ONO,

DecentOer ~, 1890.
The cause to which your paper is devoted
meets with a general response in this place, ex-
cept the ungenerOus attack sometimes made
upon the Know Nothings. SO far as have
been able to learn the feelings of members of
that Order, the question of Freedom is the first
question, and then other things, which threaten
the perpetuity and best interest of our Union
But those of us who are best acquainted with
your paper are attached to it, and cannot well
dispense with it, though sometimes tired and
almost vexed, when you turn aside from tie great
question OF the day, to a quixotic enterprise,
fighting the Know Nothings.
From this place, where we have never had
club before, our friend sends US a club of thir-
teen subscribers We have made no ungenerous
attack on the Know Nothings-we have argued
against their doctrines and policy, and now we
earnestly appeal to all of them, who consider
the Slavery Question paramount, how can we
carry the masses of the People of the free
States on this question, by two organizations,
aiming at different objects? How can we unite
them against the Slave Power, except on one
issue, in one organization Will they consid-

ALBANY, Dec. %. ISj

ALBANY, Dec. %, 1855.
The adhesive qualities of the one hundred
and five members of Congress, who steadily
vote for Mr. Banks for Speaker, commands the
enthusiastic encomiums oftrue men everywhere.
The consolidation Of the Republican party is
the one thing needful now. Its position is one
that must receive the respect of the mass of
good men. Give us organization, fidelity, and
hope, and our success will be certain, if not
speedy.
Our Legislature meets on the first day Of
January. In the Senate, the Republicans have
the ma ority. In the House, the three parties
will be so nearly equally divided, as to render
the election Of a Speaker as difficult, perhaps,
as it has been at Washington. There is good
deal of coqueting between the IIards and the
Know Nothings, who together can choose
Speaker. Persuasions, also, have been held
out to the Republicans to vote for Soft. But
unless he will place himself squarely on the
Republican platform, it will be better for the
Republicans to avoid any such alliance.
There begins to be some talk about Repub-
lican Convention of all the States, to nominate
a President. Some incline to delegate Con-
vention, but more to mass meeting, at some
convenient point. On the other hand, there
are many very sagacious persons who think
that no Convention is advisable. Their plan
is, to allow each State to run the man most
likely to command majority of the votes in
the State. If sufficient number of Electors
should thus be chosen, it is agreed, there will
be no great difficulty of combining them all
upon one man. If there is not a sufficient
number elected, then no harm to anybody will
have been done.
But this is matter of but little immediate
importance. What is wanted now is, some
thing to turn the attention of the people to the
one great issue. From Washington, should be
sent out orators, speeches, newspapers, and
letters, to every part of the Union, in further
ance of this one great object. The people are
waiting. b.

Government in all these, as their so-called mas
tiers. What have they done to forfeit these
rgAts2
A great question, next in Importance to per-
sonal salvation, is before the nation. 1t stands
out in bold outline. Not shadow rests on it.
1t is, whether Freedom or Slavery shall be the
future policy of the National Government. 1t
appeals to every one who is accustomed to bow
at the throne of grace in prayer, and to every
one intrusted with the elective franchise. Will
the friends of Freedom rise in their conscious
strength, and tear from the impudent front of
Slavery its already assumed NATIONAL BADGE,
and send it back disgraced to State protection
and caresses, or, like crawling reptile, lick the
dust from the sole of insolent and heartless
despotism? This is the question.
May God stand by the friends of Freedom at
the Capitol, and may they be strong in their
own conscious integrity, in the righteousness of
the cause, and in Gods strength, vouchsafed in
answer to the prayers Of a people outraged and
humbled by the apostacy and wickedness of
their rulers Wishing you the utmost success,

firm that Hilda as yet looked very far into the
future-no, she only lifted little corner of the
curtain which yelled it-but the little which
she thus discovered was quite sufficient to
quicken the beatings of her heart. She would
dissipate these thoughts, and chase away Wal
linder's image, which was throwing Rosa's into
shadow; for, after the letter she had received,
she wished to think about her alone.
Thus thought Hilda, and, Gliding herself for
her weakness, she again took up Rosa's letter,
and resolved to interest herself with it, and
nothing else. Ferdinand's she threw aside.
However, we will lay both of the letters before
our readers.

Aid for Nicaragua,


Col. Titus, with one hundred and twenty emigrants
wishing to proceed to Nicaragua, arrived in the city
yesterday. Some twenty also arrived from Texas.
Quite large number of Others it is understood are
anxious to cast their fortunes in that country, but
lack the means of conveyance hther as speedily as
is desirable, not being willing to wait for the return
steamer, which sails on the 9th of next month.
They wish to 60 Immediately, and are not prepared
to wait doing nothing for almost thirty days.
There is no possibility of these men proceeding to
Nicaragua except by the next steamer, unless sail
ing vessel is provided for them. We think one should
be so provided in two or three days and rely upon
the berality Of citizens to effect that object. We
appeal to them to act promptly and literally in the
premises we call upon them to open their purse
strings and contribute We ask them to remember
that their friends and countrymen in Nicaragua are
threatened by foe that proclans determination to
cN in advance, without regard to age, sex or cond
ton, combatant Or non-combatant, and act accord
singly. But small sum is required and it ought to
be made up with the smallest possible delay.
We understand contribution will. be asked fol
today or tomorrow. Let not the appeal be made
in vain. &#@
