To the Editor Of the Chronicle
THIS disease consists in chronic inflammation of the
small mucus glands connected with the membrane which
lines the throat and windpipe The office of these glands
is to secreie fluid to lubcae tae air passages When
inAame they spread irritating fluid over surrounding
parts,whch excites inflammation in them. Hence gen

A HIGH HANDED OUTRAGh-An outrage of
an unusual and alarming character, occurred
on Sunday night last, between nine and ten
clock, on the country road in Brighton near
the borders of Newton. Tie Rev. Mr.. Dan
forth, student at the Newton Theological
Institute, Newton Centre, aad been engaged
during the day in preaching at church in
Brookline. The night beng fine, with a
bright moon, he concluded to walk home, and
had reached the borders Of Newton, at place
where there arc no houses, when stout
man suddenly accosted him, apparently in a
friendly manner Immediately afterwards,
however, the man stepped in front of Mr..
Dantorth, and with threat to shoot him if he
did not give up his money, presented pistol
at his head. Finding there was no means of
escape from so formidable and desperate an
opponent, Mr.. Dantorth at once parted with
his money amounting to twenty dollars, every
cent that he was possessed of. The robber
then noticed his watch, as gold one, but not
OF great value, which he also demanded, and
it was given up to him. He then required of
Mr.. d. promise that he would not speak of
the matter for halfan hour, and then allowed
him to depart. He arrived at his home in a
state of great excitement consequent upon the
suddenness and brutality of the attack. The
authorities of Brighton have been notified of
the outrage, and will probably offer reward
for the robber. The robber was apparently an
American Boston Traveller.

PENNSYLVANIA PoLITIcs,-At a meeting at
National Hall, Philadelphia, Sept, lot called by
Lewis Levin, to repudiate the Union ticket of
Americans and Republicans for State officers,
Levin was booted down and hustled out of the
hall. Subsequently the Union ticket was hearth
ly approved, and Levin was denounced. The
meeting then formed in procession, and marched
to the Fillmore meeting at Spring Garden, where
similar resolutions were adopted.
This Lewis C. Levin was the original mover in
getting up the old Native American party in Phil

compton,
DEAR SIR: The fee state men of Kanzas
are now in arms tor the protection of their
property from destruction, and the lives of
themselves and families from the inhunan
atrocities from organized bands Of assassins
from an adjacent state. Appeals to the civil
authorities have proved iruitless. As last
resort and to avert the impending evil, we
appeal to the authority you possess. We re-
specially represent that our ranks are COM
posed of bona tide citizens Of kanzas and
none other. To satisfy you of the truth of
this averment, we invite you in person to
visit and inspect our anks. If any other
method of proof of this face would be more
acceptable to you, 1t will be equally conven-
lent for US. We ask you to assure us protec-
ton for our lives and property, and to that
end, that you dispense OF cause to be dispers.
ed, the band of house burners, horse .stealers,
and men -stealers from Missouri, known as
the hanzas Militia, now assem- bled at In
dianola, on the Fort Riley road, at Lecompton,
near your camp, at some point on the Sante
Fe road at Easton, and other places If this
shall be done we will lay down our arms and
thankfully resume our ordinary occupations
Ii you do not possess power to do this,
perhaps you might feel at liberty to insist that
the war be conducted on principles generally
recognized among Christian belhgerents as
just and honorable, prohibiting the destruc-
ton of the property of inoffensive and de-
,tenseless persons.
In behalf of the Kanzas State Central Com
mittee. H. MILES MOORE,
VIM. HUTCHINSON.
P. S.-Should we deem it necessary to de-
eide this question by an appeal to arms would
you deem it your duty to interfere in case
of conflict
Chicago paper reports on authority Of
a gentleman Just from the territory, that on
the same boat with Gov. Geary, was a com
pauy of seventy filibusters, having cannon
on board, bound for Kanzas, to fight the
d u abolihouists,' as they openly disclosed
in she presence of the Governor. He made a
speech at the Lexington landing, declaring
that he would enforce the (bogus) laws in
Kanzas, and complimented the ruthans OIL
their peaceable behavior and intentions.
The Kanzas pro-slayery correspondent OF
| the St, Louis Iateligeacer says " 1t would
| be well for the friends of civil government to
send on petition to the President, asking
him to send into the territory militia force
to drive out all bodies of armed men. The
whole fault rests upon him. He could, by O
Geographic dispatch of ten lines, give quiet to
the territory in five days. There is not man
in Kanzas who would not submit to the au-
thority of United States officer in command

ness Of whose record upon questions of civil and
religious freedom. would have repelled from the
support of the national ticket thousands and
thousands of honest voters who, though born in
foreign lands, love liberty better thanlife, and
stand ready ever to peril everything for the free
institutions of the country their adoption
We have reason to know, that, had the Republi-
cans of Massachusetts adopted the State ticket
offered them by their would-be allies, three days
would not have passed before the freedom-loving
alien population ofthe West, wouldhave been pc,
rusing, in their own languages that remarkable
document from the pen Of a Massachu setts Gov
ernor, which pleads for shutting them out from
the privileges of citizenship for nearly quarter
Of century aftertheir arrival in this country,
though their love of free institutions might have
been the sole cause of their expatriation, though
they may have suffered for freedom in Austrian
Or italian dungeons, or bled with Kossuth, for
the Republican cause, upon the plains of Hun
gary, and quoting it as evidence that the Repub.
hcan creed was hostile to the rights of man.
In view of what was done, and what might
have been. but was not done at the Republican
Convention, held here on the 10th, we think the
friends Of the Republican cause here in Massa-
SHuoSttS anu tlSeNHtTe nave great reason 10 re
ioice. No individual of the Republican party is
bound by its action to support any candidates
for office that he does net approve and every in
dividual is left free to vote for any candidate. He
may even vote for Governor Gardner if he choos-
es, boon which was denied him by especial pub.
lie proclamation of His Excellency, last year. or,
failing to find ticket that will meet his views
from those already nominated, he may unite with
any number of his fellow citizens whether few or
many, in the support of ticket that he aud they
may think worthy Of an honest mans support.
There are some men still in the State who vet
prefer to follow the guidance OF their own convic
tons, rather than the arrogant dictation of mem
bers of Congress who do not believe in the sacri
fee of the right Of private judgment, or the cleo
tive franchise, at any mans bidding and in due
time we doubt not that such men WILL by their
words and their votes, manifest the faith that is
in them, and once more give the world assurance
that in Massachusetts the independent spirit OF
the fathers of the olden time still lives in the
hearts of some of their descendants.
