A writer for Norfolk journal gives some
statistics TO show that the increase Of popula-
ton in the free over the slsvehoding States, is
due entirely to emigration. He sums up his
conclusions ss follows:
"a comparison Of the first census Chat Of
1900 with the last is very significant on this
point and we feel assured will surprise persons
who have not accustomed themselves TO the
study of the effects produced by immigration
on the population Of the United States. We
give below the population Of the free and slave
holding States OF those periods. We class un-
der those denominations the States as they
now stand, placing Delaware with the North:
1890. 1850 Increase.
Free 9,o27.55l lSSss,729 u,57l,l7
SlAvshOlding l,s02,276 9,520,775 7,7ls,499
"Dr. Chickering, good Northern authority,
estimates the addition 10 the population Of the
country by emigration, with the increase from
1890 to 1850, at 6,000,0 600; ofthis number lilo
or 100000, were added TO the South, aud
$40, 100000 10 the North. Now, 10y de-
Quoting the foreign addition from the popula-
tion Of 1850, what is the result

The Machinery of Despotism newly Gear
ed in Kansas.

Geary must be n man after Buchanan 5
and Stringfellow sownhearts. He knows
how to do it, and does it right straight
to the mark. He masks his head, not
with the Grape Of the footpad, but with
Westminster Hall horse hair. He car
ries the revolyers of his mission, in the
scales Of Justice, held even and osten-
tatiouslv high. Ermine conceals his
bowie-knife, and the forms of the com
mon Law and the Legislative Code, hide
and fringe the villainous despotism he
was semitic Kansas to do. Plausible, sly,
circumspect and Specious, this agent of
the Propagandists Of Slavery comes the
law and Order dodge. He is far and
away from those grog-bruis-
ing vulgarities of administration which
distinguished his predecessors, and con-
sisted bluntly of letting fall the bars of
the Territory, and encouraging the
Ruffians of Missouri to rush in and shoot
burn, ravish and plumber through Kan
sas I'D b6itlt0a. Geary has geared the
machiney of Despotism on legal princi-
pies. He is a law-abiding man, he is.
Up to the 26th day of September,
this Governor has caused to be issued
443 acarra,sts for the arrest Of Free
State men charged at random aeith .feio-
mics. ore hundred and thirteen acere
then u,oder arrest. The others had fled
the Territory or were in concealment,
to avoid restraint oftheir liberty. How
many he has civilly disabled, or sub
stantially banished since September26th
all can guess. And how etficacious for
Slavery this method ofelectioneering for
her candidates for Office at the coming
election viii prove, all can likewise
guess. But will it serve the purpose of
thus to substitute for blood
and violence in Kansas, the sly and vel
tyranny of an unprincipled
lawyer, desolating the Territory as eff
fectually with the forms of Justice as it
was recently with the knife, the rifle,
and the Torch?

Stringfellow Banished from Missouri -
The Tide Turning
From the St. Louis Democrat

From the St. Louis Democrat
We learn from a gentleman who arriv-
ed in this city from Weston last Satur-
day, that an Indignation meeting Of the
citizens of that place had been held, at
which the Punishment Of Stringfellow
from Weston and Platte county had
been resolved upon. The circumstances
which gave rise to this proceeding, were
these: a merchant Of Weston by the
name OF Rockwell some time ago sold
out his stock of goods to a firm known
as that of Perry d Walker. These gen
tlemen, in the exercise of their CONNER
cial liberty had sold quantity of flour
to certain parties in Kansas. This fact
to become known to body
in Platte city, an armed ex-
petition of about one hundred men is
sued from that place and proceeded to
Weston, with the avowed purpose Of ar
resting and hanging Perry whom they
accused of being an abolitionist. On
Weston they at once placed
themselves under the command of String
fellow, and marched to the store
of the parties against whom they
had sworn summary vengeance. Mr..
Perry was arrested, and assured that he
should be hung. Upon this Mr.. p. APP
pealed to the people of Weston for pro-
lection and justice, and the result shows
that he did not calculate in vain upon
their sense of right. As soon as these
circumstances became generally known,
n pubIic meeting was called. Mr.. Perry
was released, and the party from Platte
city ordered to leave within two hours,
or abide by the consequences. They
then proceeded to dispose Of the case of
Gen. Stringfellow, whose course in the
Kansas difficulties they denounced most
Indignantly and concluded by passing
resolution requiring him to leave the
town and county forever, giving him five
DAYS to settle up his affairs.
