. I've got letter from Hiram Hoover, giving
the Palladium HI" and he read it 10 EN-
We believe his labors for the day were bro't
to a close near the Public Pump, where he
read the epistIe Of Hiram, for the fortieth
time, to much tickled and highly delighted
audience of two. On general consultation
with all the s'unaterables, . it was the unani
nous opinion that, as the Postmaster at Nil
ton had went to the trouble to dyam on Hi
ram for certain kind Of amuai.ion, very
scarce and very much sought after in this re-
gion; and as he had promptly supplied the
demand ''per ord@.," it ought to be published
forthwith in an extra. No sooner said than
up and out the nissye came in that form,
and Friday mornings sun, beheld the coun
tenances OF Buchanier friends lit up
! with the fires Of extatic bliss, whilst perusing
it, and devouring It's contents Ike shanghais
! deveur corn! We intended to publish it al,
/. but find Ne hayeno room this week. We con
tent ourselves with the following extracts:

Sanguindry.-"Alltha that has ever made any
show IN faror of slarery, has been the eternal
bowling and waihng of the black hearted
Black Republican Aid Societies and Abolition
fanatics, arousing "A similar spirit in SINH
lar class that they familiarity call Border Ruff
fans" My opinion is if they were all taken
and hung together, the country, and mankind
generally, would be peculiarly diessed' = Id.
If these three classes in Kansas were
all "hung," as Hiram proposes, would there
still be 'ten to one il not nineteen 10 twenty"
Of the people Of Kansas against making it a
Slave Stale? or wouldn't Hiram be the only
Free State man left alive TO declare his "prin-
ciples trecly," just Ike he says he does when
! he now goes to Kansas city or to Indepen
deuce? Hiram is 'Hnaltera5le."
DEFINING HE Positjon.-'.You say that the
Palladium published some weeks ago that |
, had abandoned the Democratic party. That
is about much Justice as ever got from that
paper. Upon what aU horitv it made the
statement | am not able to devise am up

the Modes and Persans, anaitero6le Of which
that paper will be advised from this letter.

The Palladium, has been governed in lis
estimate Of Hiram's position, by his own let
tiers ana the evidence furnished by the Con
gressional Kansas Committee, and If we have
net done him Justice" the documents are at
fault, notus. We understand from all sour
ces that there are but two parties in the terri
tory Of Kansas: The Free State Party" and
the ''Slave State Party" The members of
each are styled, respectively, ''Abolitionists,"
and PRO Slavery" Hiram has always writ
ten himself down as belonging to the former;
and, tie Congressional Committee furnish
abundant evidence to prove that the Free
State men there, in authority, had sufficient
confidence IN his Free State prof ssions, to
appoint him one of the Judges of the election
in his precinct; chat he not only acted in that
capacity. but he voted to send delegates to the
Topeca Convention-voted for the Topeca
Constitution, and for the Free State officers
under il! Il is well known that Pierca's ad-
minis;rat0n has denounced the Free State
movement throughout-styled those engaged
in it as TRAITORS and worthy of death, and
pledged the army Of the United States to Sub
due" them and bring them under subjection
TO the laws Of the Border Ruffan" Legisla-
ture! We also, in connection with all this
evidence read the following resolution, 'unaa
iuouslg adopted by the Cincinnati Democrat
