THE PROSPECT IN RHODE ISLAND

II O..
In a late issue of the Irocidence Post we
find the following encouraging language in
regard to the prospects of democratic victo-
ry in Rhode Island in November next:
'' The question is frequently asked US, by
men who have little time to devote to a sur
vey Of the political battle field, if this State,
in the coming election, can be carried for Mr..
Buchanan. We have hesitated to answer this
question heretofore, but the improved appear
ance of our prospects within the last few
weeks induces us to say now that the State
can be carried and will be carried by the
Democrats, if those to whom the party usual
ly look for energetic action, in the direction
OF the canvas, on occasions like this, do their
whole duty The people are ready for all
the work that is necessary to secure a glori-
Gus triumph. The masses were never better
united, and never more earnest than now
They respond heartily to every call that is
made upon them; and the cheerfulness and
enthusiasm which characterize their lablors
show that their hearts are in their work.
There has not been a campaign in the last
twelve years into which our friends in this
State have entered with more earnestness; nor
one, we honestly believe, in which the PROM
ise of success, under a proper direction of
their efforts, was greater than it is at this mo-
meut."

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 9th, 1856.

HIM " WiGBt. BiJier, r,-Dcar Sir: NV
attention has been called to Il conversation
with Mr.. VIVA. 7 Roberts, formerly of Peun-
-sylvania, and now of Kansas which took place
i'll the cars on the 7th Of June last, on our re-
turn from the Cincinnati Convention and on
the route between Cincinnati and Pittsburg.
Mr. VIM. Roberts, Mr.. John Mccarthy,
Mr.. John Roberts and myself, were seated
together and in giving detailed history
of the state Of affairs in Kansas, he unreser-
vcdly declared it as his conviction that all
the troubles in that country were to De attri-
uted to the violence and misconduct of few
ultrasts, and evil disposed persons, belonging
to both parties.
He detailed at great length, the doings of
many of the eXtremjsts-aud among the rest
most positively asserted "thut certain q
w Brown editor of the Kansas Herald of
Freedom, an Abolition paper-was the very
worst man iii the territory that he. by his
infammatory writings, and violent abuse, 3"
had done more 10 produce discord and retard
the prospects and interests Of the territory
than all the pro-slavery men in it-and furth-
er, THAT his departure from the territory and
the suppression of his paper, would not only
have tendency to promote peace and harmo-
ny-but would be hailed with Joy, BY nearly
all the real, bonafde settlers, whether pro-
slavery or free State men"
lie also further admitted that many of those
claiming to belong tothe Free State party had
cmigrated to the territory from the East
merely for the purpose of controlling It's IN
habltants aud elections, without any serious
intention to become bona fide residents there
of At the same time, he took occasion to
censure the Emigrant Aid Societies, for send
l., E IL r
the societies; and without dollar in the ir
pockets their arrival, to maintain them
until they could find employment He argued
that such was not the way TO build up pros
porous Territory, or to secure the ends they
ought to strive for.
He also claimed that Il questions of land
locations and town sites, with the specuations
incident thereto had much to do with the early
troubles IN the Territory; that it frequently
led to angry debates and broils between men
from the Northern and Southern States, in
which. as a matter of course the friends of
the different parties soon became partizans.
and this had contributed as much to create an
angry and excited feeling as the question of
slavery.
Another point he distinctly avowed, was
'his belief that if they were left alone to
themselves, ana agiIaIon III the E2St ana
South put stop to. they could and would
soon settle their difficulties in "a quiet and
peaceable manner, and, moreover, with but
little or no risk of Kansas becoming a slave
State.
Upon referring to the reports of the robber-
les and murders at that time current, he af-
firmed that peaceable and well disposed per-
sons had no occasion for, nor need they be in
the fear OF either their persons or property;
that at no time was he ever insulted by pro-
slavery man, although he was out among

SHIP, Fayette County,

MENALLEN TOWNSHIP, Fayette County,
August Sth, 1856.
1Uessrs Editors When men change their
political associations, a decent respect for the
opinions of others demands that they should
declare the Inducements which have prompted
the change in their opinions We therefore
beg small space in your excellent paper to
declare our determination hereafter to support
the Democratic party and its nominees. We
have acted heretofore with the American par
ty, but actual experience has convinced us that
the leaders have abandoned all the principles
once advocated and supported by that organi-
zatlon, and are now waging an unprlnclpled
warfare against the Democratic party, alike
dishonorable to themselves and dangerous to
the country.
The leaders publicly ratified the nomination
of Fillmore, and his name floats at the mast
head of the papers of that party now published
in Uniontown, whilst the Clipper, published
at Brownsville supports Fremont. Their spea-
kers publicly advocate Fremont, and private
| ly express their preference for Fillmore. IL
one part of the county they advocate the prin-
clples of the American party, and in another
part they are Fremont Abolitionists. We find
| the county ticket Is supported by these papers
in Uniontown, as Fillmore ticket, and in
Brownsville, as a Fremont,
We cannot and viii not support such Impos-
ture- Westeem honesty as essential in poll
tics as in the other affairs of life We cannot be
made use of to aid men destitute of everp prin-
ciplc, in their schemes of inposture. We are
fully convinced by Tie course that the party
which styles itself by the name of Republican
pursues, that it has deep, well laid and ma
turely considered designs against our glorious
Constitution aud happy Union, We see the
evidence Of their designs in the million of dol
lars which have been contributed in various
sections, under the guisc Of Kansas aid funds,
and the mastering of troops of armed men to
invade Kansas, and egerwhclm the troops Of
the United States. These acts of trsason are
like the muttering thunder-the prelude to
dreadful storm in which the ship of State is
threatened with destruction We are free,
and our country is prosperous and happy un-
der Democratic rule, and desire it shall remain
SO; we therefore have determined to support
Buchanan and Breckinridge, in whose hands
our Constitution and Union are safe, and we
call upon all men who love peace and hate dis
union and disorder, 30 unite with US in sup
porting our country, lis Constitution, and the
Democratic party.

Practical Illustration of their Sentiments


y few days since, at political meeting in
BrOokvllc, Jefferson equity, there was given
practical illustration of the prevailing senti-
ment of the Fremonters, which is bluntly sta
ted in the words, Down with he foreigner,
and up with the niger" \ German named
Schmidt, quiet. orderly citizen, in some re :
marks made in the crowd, who, urged on by
his Fremont friends, fel! upon the German
and beat him terribly. The Germans friends
being overpowered by the superior number
OF aboiiti0nists on hand, were unable to res
cue him until he was much hurt but remon-
strated loudly against the indecency of allow
ing such an outrage TO be committed. The
Fremont men, our informant says, iustifes the
act, and prominent one among them boldly
declared it his opinion that "a niger is as
good as Dutchman any day" This decla-
ration, we are told, however. had one good eff
fect-it opened the eyes of a few Germans in
the town who were blinded BY false Issues
raised against the Democratic party. and be-
ing led away by clap trap phrases about free
labor, were disposed to go with the black re-
publicaus. They saw the practical develop
ment of the seal sentiments of the opposition,
and at once avowed themselves Democrats and
nothing else This little circumstance taught
them what estimate they might expect occa-
sionally to have set upon them by those who
are now asking their votes for John c. Ere
mont. The Brookville ermans have applied
the lesson given them thus early: and the
number of German votes that Mr. Fremont
will get in that section of country will be We
ry easily counted. Pitts. Union

Roberts got himself into scrape in Frank

leging that he had called upon the Pennsyl-

ton at Cincinnati, and implored them to do
something to bring peace to Kansas, an ac-
eusation which the Hon. Arnold Plumer nail
ed to the counter as false coin, in CONVEX
sation with Roberts himself, making Roberts
admit that the charge was without shadow
of foundation.
Roberts has misrepresented the Toombs
Pacifcation bill in the Senate and the cir
cumstances attending its passage. He claims
to have pointed out objections to its details to
Senator Bigler and others, which were not re-
moved, and that if the bill had become law
on account of this omission, it would have
made Kansas q slave State We have the
best authority for saying that the only defect
pointed out by Mr.. Roberts was that the PEN
