Tie Sher;F Of Adams County Taking las Prison
/ ii .7ers to a Kentucky jail toa' SAFE Keeping.
The Maysville Express says:
Con Saturday last there arrived in this city
the Sheriff ofAdams county, Ohio, who had in
his charge, two prisoners, both Of whom had
been tried and sentenced in the Court of Com
mon Pleas, at West Union--one for,tive years in
the Penitentiary, and the other for life The
Sheriff CAME in little break wagon, and said
no had left West Union, a distance of nineteen
miles, less than two hours before. }ar r.
His statements wereto this effect. One oi
the prisoners had murdered. his father-in- law on
accotnt of some difficulty which they had at a
game of cards, and the other, whose name was
Millgan, had murdered an old man and his
Iswiie in order TO get their property. The day
before the trial came of, one hundred citizens
from Manchester, had gone up to West Union
and taken negro out of fjail-Who was charged
with committing rape uponthe person. Of a re-
spectacle white lady of Manchester-and hund
him. The people of West Union requested
them to delay their hanging until the case O.
Milligan, and the case ofthe other man, whose
name we did mot, hear, was decided, and they
would hang all at once. They would not. wait
FhQwever, but went on and hung the negro
When the Court had decided She case as be-
fore mentioned, the people were greatly incens-
ed, and very much excited. The mob collected
| together at once, and determined TO take both
prisoners from the. officers and hang them by
the law of Judge Lynch. The Sheriff was
however, too smart for them, and managed to
get out Of town and some distance on the road
to Kentucky before they discovered it. As
soon as they did so, however, the Sheriff was
hotly pursued, and when he reached MoysyiAe
a portion of the mob had reached Aberdcep.--
The prisoners were both lodged in Jail, under
the, projection Of Mr.. Mcdaniel where they
will remain until taken out by the proper oil
GERS and sent to the Ohio Penitentiary. ,ez
In Manchester, after hanging the negro, they
ordered every free negro out OF town, and threat
enedi if they ever came back again. TO hang
them. .. s., ....
Things haze indeed come to "a pretty pass
when the people of Ohio-that is, the Abolition
portion oft them, who cry out SO much against
Lynch law-5nre compelled to seek refuge foI
their prisoners in the jails of Kentucky"
The Sheriff ofAdams county, has been in Co.
lumbus and lodged his prisoners safely in the
Penitcntiary. lie was hurrying to the cars
when we saw him and we had no time to ask
him any questions. f.
There is not anydoubt but what the excite
pent produced by the horrid conduct Of the me-
gro and his subsequently being hung added
greatly to the subsequent attempts to rescue
from the hands Of the Sheriff, the white MUIR
derers on trial - Statesman .s5 "

FRIEND ALLEN.--I think it is evident from
pres ent prospects, that all parties at the North
together with some at the South, agree that
Kansas will be admitted into the Union as a
free state.
Ny object in thus publicly alluding to the
matter, is, that all may lay aside their fears
about slavery in Kansas; and every man
that wishes to provide himself with rich
and durable home (wherp slavery cannot come,
and where the climate is genial and soil .unsur-
passed in the world) may embrace it. ~
The land will very likely como into market
next summer, that is, considerable portion OF
the eastern division Of the territory; and the
sooner sluatters prepare to secure theirprivilege
the better t' EF
It ought to bo remembered by all Western mo-
vcrs that Kansasis tho most productive terri
tory in North America; and through il must
pass the great Central Railroad to the Pacific
Osean; and in all probability it will contain the
White House Of this nation atno distant day.

LAWRENCE K. T., Nov. "a, 1856.
Mr.. EDrroR-As am interested in theofate
of this Territory, would say to those who in
tend coming to Kansas, come or your own res
possibility, anil then you know what to depend
upon, for you cannot depend upon the assist
ance which is promised you, if you start under
the promise Of the Kansas Aid Society That
is nothing more nor less than speculating opc-
ration, from beginning to end, which originated
in Yankeedom, and it is time that the honest
donators should be duped no longer for bleed.
ing Kansas. There is no doubt but there are
people who need aid and would advise those
who give aid to sendit to some person or per-
sons the parties may know, and then what they
send or give you will know is distributed to the
necessitous.
/ may state for instance that the original Chi
cago company never fulfilled their contract with
the company that left there in June last and
which has seen more hardships than any other
company in the Territory The committee was
to give them assistance on their arrival in the
Territory, and also find them in provisions for
one pear, which has not been complied with
Hyou say anything to them, they reply it is all
left to the National Committee and when you
mcntionit to them, they say, you are seperate
concern, wehavc nothing to do with you. That
is the way you are treated, after being induced
to leave a comfortable home to endure priva-
tons and hardships for the Aid Society to specu-
late from. For sample Of the Committees
generosity, ! cite to yoa one circumstance
among hundred that happens daily: A Mr..
Bedose, of Rockford, bad lost all his clothing
at the battle of Ossowatonie, and on his return

flannel which Is generally worn here) he had
worn the shirt some two months, and as there
had quite a quantity arrived for distribution, he
applied to Mr., H., Gone Of the committee) for

you. lie then turned and walked of. There
are facts which are too true. Who is to receive

is the RepsR bRican Party Sectional!
The campaign Of 1856 is now oyer. With
the setting sun on the 4th of last November
was heard the ,moumfui requiem of departed
Know Nothngism. 1t died amid thi oes and
gasps that echoed from Maine to California; and
ID was buried in old Maryland, where the raging
Atlantic or the niilder Potomac NAY forever
wall its mourniul dirge, But its twin-sister still
survives. The party, which Phoenix like, grew
from its ashes, yet lives and it may he proper,
now, that the heat of political excitement is
over, to try it by the Websteran standard
,'the Union, the aUlsoe Unien--now and forever
one and inseperablo." We can certainly dis
cuss the question nol0, without engendering that
strife and malice which might have resulted be-
fore the Presidential election.
Is the Republican Party sectional? Is ques-
tionthat perhaps needs no further illustration
than the late election. Will men of nationality
presume otherwise when, glaring from the cleo
tionreturns, we find the North arrayod against
the South, and men striving with zeal worthy
of a better cause to thrust into Office one who,
forsaking the basis on which our country firls
was founded, will pandcr to the chimeraS of
portion Of the people, to the crushing out of
principle, and to the detriment of the other?
"Ihe Northern hills are blazing,
The Northern skies are bright;
And the fair young West is turning
Her forehead to the light
sings one of these "l,ortherr" birds and Greeley
re echoes it. Sectioi,ahsm was written in it's
birth, and its whole histsry confirms it Could
a party so exclusive pretend to universality?-
Could its principles be otherwise than narrow
and contacted .as its own crcumscribed lin
its? No. The brand is on its .brow,7-its clo-
ven foot protrudes and allattemps to hide it is
merefolly! Does any Republican think his par
ty national? We pause for reply.

assist his family, but started them off without
money enough to pay their way, It appears
that the committee has been weighed and
found wanting and there are several of the

It is time these transactions We're exposed, so
that no more persons may be ddped by the COM
mittees, or by those who are soliciting aid for
bleeding Kansas.
l think my duty is to put the whole matter in
true light before the public, as the several COM
mites have been written to repeatedly and no
reply. .
What are those TO do this winter who now DO
long to the militia, which will be disbanded in a
short time? What are the prisoners to do il
they have the good luck to get free from bond
age! Can they get employment? No! Can
they 60 upon claims? No! viii they be pro-
yided for? That is to be seen; or will they be
left to shift for themselves and turn bandits for
their support, which has already commenced,
and which has been Que cause Of the difficulties
in the Territory. For instance, the colonies
from the South were sent in with the same qua
rantee as those from the North, with the addi-
ton of their claims being paid for when coming
into market; and their committees have also
proved faithless and dishonest. And what was
the result? Why, they were forced to rob and

Pll give you one more instance Of the COM
mittce's generosity and close. l procured an
old log houge for the purpose Of storing the bag
gage belonging to the men who were held pris-
oners at hecompton. The building had been
vacant all summer and only used now and then
for a stable by any one who chose to use it.
procured the use of it from Gov. Robinson
The person have reference to wanting the
house to put in horses which belonged or had
belonged to the Aid Society, put the baggage
out of doors without giving notice. The baggage
contaned all Of their clothing, mechanical tools
&c, which were thus exposed to the rain and
light fingered gentry for five days, before an,
Iother place could be procured to store it. i
that is the way men in prison are treated, what
can any one expect who come here trusting to
the promises of these Aid Societies? The above
are stubborn facts which am sorry to relate
but nevertheless true, and | hope this will be a
warning TO those who may be interested in
Kansas MATTERS and who wish to come here as
settlers. Ht1.# H.
