A Special Despatch TO the New York Daily
Times, dated St-Louis, June II, says that s'0s-
sayatomie, Free-state town, was sacked by
Georgia mob on the 9th inst. The printing
Office was destroyed, houses were burned, lo
horses were stolen, and the jewels were taken
from ladies' ears and fingers. Palmyra has
also been sacked, and robberies occur daily.
Messrs. Howard and Sherman, of the Con-
gressional Investigating Committee, arrived at
ST. Louis, from Kansas, to-day. They are Al
Barnuin's Hotel. Mr.. Oliver stopped at Rich
mond. The Committee were at Westport,
Missouri, days. While there, large parties
of armed men from different parts of Missouri
marched through in guerrilla parties into the
Territory, and were engaged in robbing, kill
ling and driving out the settlers.
Gov Shannon testified there before theCom-
mittee. AS he entered the town from theTer-
ritory q company of 60 armedMissourians were
marching into the Territory from Westport.-
Gov Shannon went to Kansas city with the
Committee, and while there saw without COM
ment party of Clay county men cross the
river and proceed into the Territory, led and
well armed.
The Committee have been quiet, but very
searching in their investigation. They go to
Detroit to remain for several days. The tes-
timony given is said clearly to prove that OF
the five thousand five hundred votes given at
the Legislative election in March, 1855, only
eleven hundred were cast by actual residents,
and of these the names of but eight hundred
appear in the census report.
The Territory is now conyulsed with civil
war, to sustain laws based on this election.
Col Sumner is out with UnitedStates troops
to preserve order. He dispersed several hum
dred men under Gen. Whitehead, but they re-
assembled on the 9th and sacked the town of
! Ossawatomie.
| The Free-stste men are organizing for self
defence. Governor Shannon has gone to Fort
| Leayenworth.
LATEST.-Chicago, June 13th.-Persons
| from Kansas city, report that collision be-
tween Whitfeld's men and the United States
| troops is imminent. The former is reported
10 have threatened to hang Col. Sumner, for
ordering them 20 leave the Territory.

the invader. If civil war had broken out IN
that beautiful Territory, it must be exlnguish-
ed by driving the foreign marauders out OF IT.
and protecting the bona fide settlers in the
peaceful exercise and enjoyment OF their Con-
stitutional rights. Our citizens have organ
lied for the contest. Already S30,OOo have
been raised in Chicago, and over 2Oo able
bodied, resolute men have volunteered to en-
icrate to Kansas to become actual citizens and
settlers of that magnificent Territory. They
60 out to invade no mans rights, but wo to the
Border Ruffians who molest them. They Will
start as quick as possible.
Auxiliary Associations, of which Chicago is
the focus and parent, are being rapidly formed
in all parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and
Indiana 1t is the determination of the Free
men of these four States to send three thous-
and good and true men to Kansas within ninety
days, backed by material aid to the amount OF
100000. This city will raise S5o,oo0 and
three hundred men. Many counties are pledg-
ed for one hundred men, and 50, goo to $4,000
each-hard cash and bona fide settlers.

The New York Post, the organ of the Radl-
cal Democracy. continues to pour sshot shot
into Buchanan; and the Democratic party, so
far from being united, by the reinstating of
the Hards and the degradation of the Softs,
appears to have come out of the Convention
worse divided than ever. The Post, says : In
an examination of the political character OF
Mr.. Buchanan which we made some months
since and in which we showed the superiority
OF his chances for a nomination, we alluded TO
the character of his ssociates and confeder-
ates Nopublic man of our day is surrounded
bv so profligate n set of followers and admir-
ers He is the centre of circle OF unprln-
cipled and restless adventurer, whom men OF
higher degree of self respect avoid. There
is something-we suppose it consists In inc
ease with which he is managed which attracts
to him that class of persons; and he seems to
be perfectly content with the associations
thus acquired.
If Mr. Buchanan could see no harm in seiz-
ing upon Cuba for the protection of slavery,
it is not likely that he will entertain any scru-
pies concerning the seizure of Kansas by the
shareholders and their myrmidons, for the
same purpose. Rely upon it, that battle is to
go on as it has begun, unless stopped by the
defeat of the Cincinnati candidate; there is
to be no compromise with the residents Of the
Territory no slackening of the persecution
| by which they are to be driven out that theiE
| places may be supplied by the slave drivers
and their gangs. If Mr.. Buchanan is elected.
the seal of approval will be set by the people
OF the United States, on all the fraud, all the
violence, all the usurpation, all the burnings
robberies and murders, the news of which
for so many months, has been the melanchol!
burden of the mails from the West He vii
be as easily persuaded into cooperation
with these atrocities, as he was into the folly
| of the Ostend Manifesto.

THE ASPECTS OF THE CANVAS.

Asparties take position in the field ,the aspects
of thePresidential canvass become more settled
and distinct, ,andwe are enabled by the landmarks
thus afforded to judge somewhat of the future.
The Democratic Party has deliberately chosen
its ground and taken its position, with can
didate selected in manner and on platform
that leave no doubt as to its principles and
purposes. Mr.. Buchanan's nomination is, and
is designed to be, nothing more or less than a
perpetuation of the policy inaugurated with
Pierce and that has marked his administration.
The same party that selected Pierce has now
chosen Buchanan. 1t was Virginia that brought
forward Pierce, and Virginia has now put for
ward Buchanan. There is nothing in the life
or antecedents of Mr.. Buchanan that affords
the slightest warrant for the belief that with
him in the Presidential chair, there would be
a change of policy. The platform on which
Buchanan has been nominated, and to which
sumo planks have been added so as to make it
square with the advanced ideas of the new
candidate in regard to the fillibusterism with
which he and his party are so thoroughly i'm
bued, is the same as that on which Pierce ran.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1856-06-18
MIR. BucHANANs WEAKNESS.

The New York Express, in reference to
Mr.. Buchanans weakness, says ''That the
measures of the Pierce administration are
already endorsed. Mr.. Buchanan has held
Office under it abroad, and he has, in advance,
announced his adherence to measures which
he before condemned. He has stood upon the
Missouri Compromise fat footed, and in his
recent declaration has acquiesced and appro
we'd of its repeal. He has a record against
the extension of slavery, and record against
erresting the extension of slavery. He has
Democratic record and Federal record, as
red and blue as Lucifer himself. His antece-
dents as a politician are of the worst possible
Sort and of so mixed a caste that it will lead
all cautious men to mistrust him. He has
been aspiring for the Presidency for twenty
five years, and public man for forty. He has
held Federal certificates of election under the
worst regime OF Federalism, and Democratic
certificates of election since th5 time fortune
first favored Andrew Jackson.
He has been extreme party man, too, and
as such wanting in magnamity to political OPP
ponents, as witness his treatment of Henry
Clay and his attacks on John Davis, of Massa-
want of Americanism in regard to American
labor. Too ambitious to be consistent too
timid to be JUST aud ever ready to be all things
TO all men, a "ffty four forty" man by profess
sions, Ssforty -nine'' man by action, very Eng
iish in England, very American in America,
very free tradish in the United States Senate,
very protective in Pennsylvania.
We hardly know man against whose polit-
ical professions and practices more can be said.
This record, of course, is to be met fairly
and fully, not abusiyely or unkindly, We hope,
but nevertheless in the full light of intelli-
gent and manly canvass. We neither like Mr..
Buchanan's antecedents, his politics, his prin-
ciples, nor the platform on which the Cincin-
natl Convention have placed him. He wants
frmness, consistency, fairness. He will, from
tho necessity of the case, be compelled to walk
;n the footsteps of the present administration,
and we pray kind Providence to save US from
such public calamity as this.

We saw yesterday evening a gentleman
| inst from the scene of disturbance in Kansas.
| He represents the state of the country as truly
deplorable. Nowhere was life or property
| safe. and robberies and assassinations were OF
daily occurrence. The Free State men in
the interior were starving, all access to the
river being cut off by armed bands stationed
| along all the avenues of travel. Their cattle
and provisions had been carried off in large
quantities by emigrants from Georgia and
| Alabama. who demanded them at the point OF
the bayonet. On Monday evening last Meth
odist preacher suddenly disappeared in the
neighborhood of Westport. under circumstan-
ccs which led to the conclusion that fatal vio-
lence had been used. lie had been taken
prisoner by some Pro-Slavery men, but moth
ing appearing against him he was discharged
from custody. Leaving the town he was fol-
lowed by party of men, who, on their return
reported that he chad got into the river at q
place too deep for him to cross.' The impress
sion was that he had been hung.
We learn further, from the same source
that the extra publisher by us yesterday, from
the Kansas Enterprise, giving an account of Z
battle between some Pro-Slavery and Free
Soil men, abounds in misrepresentation

MR. EVERETT on THE SUMNER OUTRAGE.-
Mr.. Everett, in his Introductory remarks to
the delivery of his Grafton on Washington, in
Taunton, recently made the following allusion
to the assault upon Senator Sumner:
After alluding to the pleasure with which
he always dwelt on the theme of Washington,
he continued as follows But, with the salts
faction which feel in addressing you this G.
vening, are mingled the most profound ankle
ty and grief-a sadness which strive in vain
to suppress, ovcrwhelms me at the occurrences
of the past week, anG serious apprehension
forces itself upon my mind that events are E.
ven now in train, with impulse too mighty
to be resisted, which viii cause our beloved
country to shed tears of blood through all her
borders for generations to come. Civil war,
with all its horrd trains of pillage and slaugh-
ter, carried on without the slightest provoca-
tion against the infant settlements of our bre-
thren on the frontiers of the Union, the worse
than civil war raging for months unrebuked at
the Capital, has at length with lawle S violence
of which there is no parallel in the annals of
our constitutional government, stained the
floor OF the Senate Chamber with the blood of
adefenceless man, the Senator from Massachu-
setts.
Oh my good friends, these are events
which, for the good name, the peace and salty
Of our country, it were worth all the gold of
California to blot from the record. They sick
en- the heart of the patriot. of the good citi-
and of the Christian. They awaken the
gloomy doubt, whether the tolls, the sacrifi-
ceS, and the sufferings of our fathers for the
sake of founding higher, purer, and freer
civilization on this Western Continent than
the world had yet seen, have not been in vain.
For myself, they fill me with sorrow too deep
for tears. l sorrow not for myself. Ny few
remaining years are running too rapidly to a
close to allow me to attach much importance
to anything this side of the grave, which con-
Germs me individually. But sorrow far be-
yond the power of words to express, for the
objects of my affection which leave behind.
For my children and my country grieve !;
and God is my witness, that if, by laying down
my poor life this hour, could undo what has
been done within the last two years, beginning
with the disasterous repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, 1 would willingly, cheerfully
make the sacrifice. Di d i not think there is a
healing charm in the name of Washington,
and that attachment and veneration for his
character, which is almost the only remaining
kindly sentiment that pervades the whole
country, and that in the contemplation of that
character, there is spirit of wisdom to guide,
and love to soothc and unite, would even
now throw myself upon your Indulgence, to
excuse me from the duty of the evening.
