The New York Tribune, of Monday last,
contains one Of its lorg letters from Kansas
striving to keep ZIP the excitement by sto-
ries, " | was told,"-"I saw a gentleman who
had heard" &c, but which closed with the
following confession OF the villainous con-
duct of these Kansas Generals, agitators and
pick pockets. SO base a set Of political
thieves and swiDdlers never disgraced any
country in a time Of peace:
There are still some emigrants getting into
the Territory through Iowa, and the Free Stale
pulse beats firm and has a healthy tone in spite
Of the trials. A good deal Of suffering is felt
by those settlers who had to be in the FIELD
this spring, instead of getting in their crops
There has been little of the Relief Fund sent
here yet. | think it was a pity, but there was
a reliable committee of reliable men 10 dis

think il highly essential that means should
not only be furnished 10 those who suffer. but
to those who will do. Heretofore the parties
and committees have not given sufficient en-
enlargement to those who have been willing to
keep the field and right grievances when they
occur. have known OF more than one expedi-
ton required for the safety o. the Territory
which has failed for want of means. Many of
those who have aspired to and have been trusted
with the management. have been parties who

lives to do anything.
We do not want men sent here TO have the in-
huence and employment of the funds who will
/ dig out aud surrender our guns, as one Gallant
General did at the sacking Of Lawrence. We
hope tire. all friends of Freedom will be kept
lecturing in the East, or somewhere else than
here in the hour Of danger.
WITH regard to another person, / am sorry to
see Mr.. Eldridge has been appointed on the
National Finance Committee for Kansas. He
kept a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, until a
few weeks before the sack of Lawrence. / do
not think he can represent any class OF Free
State men in Kansas as they should be repre-
scented.
1 would also suggest, as much of the money
subscribed is never paid, that all that is paid
be published in some general newspaper, who
it is from, and who it was sent to. This will
keep a clear record, and be for the advantage Of
all parties
Just look at it-just reflect on the above.
After the thousands and tens Of Thousands,
and noise enough for there TO nave been nun
dreds of thousands of dollars raised for Kan
sas, yet mark the above.
l. There is a great deal of suffering in
Kansas, owing to the riots got up by these
plous agitatorS!
2. There has been little of the Relief
Fund sent there yet!
8. The writer thinks it a pity that there
was not a reliable" committee or "reliaJle'
men to disburse the funds.
f.. Many Of those who aspired to be lead.
ers and managers were "afraid" Of tbeil
property and lives. That is. they were co,o-
ards from q consciousness that they were il
the wrong.
5. They hope all these gallant cOaoayd,
twill be kept lecturing in the States" Gu
State has been well supplied with these
worthless, lying, disgusting, cowardly rascals
posted for their villainies by those they hav,
deserted in Kansas.
6. Eldridge, on the committee, is o
doubtful character. Why he is just the fell
low they want to take the funds and divid,
it among the Woolly Horse Lecturers ala thu
States" OF course it will never reach "6leed
r ing Kansas" They would take the troubl,
they do to pick the pockets of the nervous
and credulous gulls of the free States, inclu
ding men, women and children, whom they

if it was to be honestly accounted for and sen

z. The writer closes by sugge ting tina
some shameful fraud is being practiced some
where, either by subscribing money, neve
paid, or that the money is made way will
afterwards, and suggests a remedy! Eaforc
your remedy, and you will never hear an,
more of these rascals Ohio Statesman.
