the solicitude and calls for the efforts Of all
patriotic men Of all parties who desire to see
the country restored To the blessings Of peace,
prosperity and good government; and believ-
ing, as we do, that the best and most vital
interest Of the nation demands the election Of
the pure patriot and tried statesman, WILLARD
FILLMORE, to the office OF ! resident of the
United States and Of ANDREW JACKSON Don
ELsoS to that of Vice President; and being
satisfied that concert Of action in all great
undertakings is more efficient than individual
effort-therefore

Kansas--The Hundred Prisoners.

Twenty Of the one hundred Free State
prisoners, under indictment for murder at
Lecompton have been convicted of man
slaughter, and sentenced to FIVE years impris-
onment at hard labor. The bogus statutes
have made the following provisions for pun
ishing them:

under any law in force within this Territory,
to punishment by confinement and hard Ia.
Dor, shall be deemed convict, and shall
Immediately, under the charge Of the keeper
Of such Jail or public prison, or under the
charge of such person Us the keeper of such
Jail or public prison may select, DO put to
hard labor, as in the first section of this act
specified ; and such keeper. or other person
having charge Of such convict shall cause
such convict, while engaged at such labor,
10 be securely confined by q chain six feet in
length, Of not less than four-sixtecnths nor
more than three-eights Of an inch links,
with round ball OF iron, of not less than
four nor more than six inches in diameter,
attached, which chain shall be securely fast
ened to the ankle of such convict with q
strong lock and key and such keeper, or
other person, having charge Of such convict,
may, II necessary, confne such convict,
while so engaged in hard labor, by other
chains, or other means in his discretion 50
as to keep such convict secure and prevent
his escape; and when there shall be two or
more convicts under the charge Of such keep

fastened together with strong chains, with
strong locks and keys. during the time such
convicts shall 30 engaged in hard labor with

active interest in behalf Of Kansas is we'll
known to the public, states that the follow

great service in securing this Appropriation
BosroM, Nov. l., 1856.
Dear SRI wish that could aid your
efforts to interest the State Legislatures
for Kansas. To these Legislatures look ut
this exigency 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 tho State which be-
gins.
Surely liberty in Kansas, involving our
own liberty also, Is worthy Of every citizen
should contribute according to his means |;
and I knew no better rule for the State Leg
slaturcs than for tho citizen. These Leg
islatures should oil contribute according to
their means; tho moro the better. And
such contributions, like every other charity,
will be twice blessed, ....
Accept my best wishes for Kansas, and

y Tho New Orleans Delta has plain
article upon the immediate future Of politics
in the United States. Ii states that though
the struggle for the Presidency is over, the
issues involved are not settled. 1t takes n
Gar-reaching view Of the matter, and admits
that the course Of Free Soilism is Southwark
and that the Republican party has laid u
successful foundation for strong organiza.
ton. Ii thus speaks of the admission of
Kansas to the Union:
"When the admission of Kansas into the
Union comes to be acted on, the South will
learn the manner in which tho late contest
was conducted. She will find. we fear, that
nOn-extension of slavery was the middle
ground ON which the majority of Mr.. Blu
chanan's supporters at the North agreed to
stand. She will find that il will BE- difficult,
If not impossible, to bring Kansas into this
Union rs slave State. She will find that
the day Mr.. Buchanan signs u bill to that
effect, If ever passed. his party will be dead
and burried at the North"
After noticing expedicnts which Mr.. Bu-
chanan may resort to in temporiring poll.
cy, it makes the following call upon the sage
of Wheatland:-
"He owes his election to the vote of tho
South, and to the defiant attitude of resist
ance which she was beginning to assume
He should bear that fact we'll in mind. He
