1t is some consolation that the Virtue and
Intelligence of the country have supported
Fremont, while a vast majority of the igno-
rant and vicious have voted for his opponent
Wherever Free Schools, Free Newspapers
and Free Churches have abounded, there have
votes for Fremont much more abounded, In
New England, and in all the Middle and
Western States, which are coonized mainly
from New England, the verdict OF the people
has been for Fremont and Freedom. In the
Egyptian darkness of Southern Illinois where
thousands of men are too ignorant to read tho
votes they put into the halot>bor, in the
fostering deprayity the Five Points in New
York City, which is unparalleled this side Of
the bottomless pit.--there are to he found
tremendous majorties for Buchanan. As
the country becomes enlightened md moral
Republicanisn will thrive, Il appeals to the
knowledge and virtue of the people, and only
because they are in the minority has i. suf.
fered defeat
There is something more than consolation
there is great satisfaction in considering the
effect which the election has had on the
Senate. The time serving Cass has received
instructions which no petufogging will
enable him to disobey. Douglass has been
emphatically rebuked by the state which he
had in his breeches pocket and oue or two
other Senators haye been assured that they
have leave of absence alter the Attn of March
next. Tie world moves rather slowly, but il
does move.

DEAR SIR i wish that could aid your
efforts to interest the State logis'nture for
Kansas. To these legislatures look ut this
e1igency for something worthy of the cause
which is now IN jeopardy. They have the
power, and this is the very moment to exert
it. God bless the State which begins
Surely liberty in Kansas, involving our own
liberty also, is worthy of every effort. To
its security every citizen should contribute
according to his means and know no better
rule for the State legislatures than for the
citizen. These legislatures should all contri-
butte according to their means; the more the
better. And such contributions, like every
other charity, will he twice blessed
Accept my best wishes for Kansas, and be-
leve me, dear sir, faithfully yours.

BAoTIsG OCT.-The chivalrio Col. Keitt, it
will be remembered, in speech at Lynch
burgh Va, ridiculed the idea that there was
any fighting material ia Massachusetts,, and
said that at the battle Of Chapultepec, the
Massachusetts, regiment refused to 20 into
the fight, and had to be guarded by other
troops to prevent their plundering the bag
gage The Colonel, without knowing it,
trod on the toes of his own political friend
who was in command of that regiment.
Upon having his attention called to the
matter, lie backs out of the whole statement,
e1cusing himself for having uttered the Sian
der by saying that he only reported what he
had heard.
