The Missouri Democrat, the main organ and
general news transporter for the Fusionists du-
ring the late Campaign, finds it impossible to
play tho farce any fonger, and comes out with
the following facts, as furnished by cores
pondent in the Territory. The editor says:
eve invite attention to some very important
disclosures, which will be found in another COL
umn of alledged frauds which have been prac-
ticed by the so-called Enigrant Aid Societies Of
the North upon those who have entrusted them
with donations to relieve the necessities and
sufferings in Kansas For some time past we
have heard various complaints and accusations
against these as specializing concerns, all point
ing to the same abuse of trust, and the same in
fidelity of agents, who have only appealed to
the benevolent. friends OF Kansas in order to
pocket for themselves the funds they may thus
collect. a.a 81
awe have never approved Of these Aid Socie-
ties either at the North or the South. We have
believed that it was vicious principle Of emi
grafton, and not calculated to be of benefit to
Our western Territories; for those whom pal
try advance,could thus induce to 20 into kan
sas or Nebraska were scarcely the material out
of which to make hardy pioneers or Industrious
farmers. If however, it shall turn out, in addi-
ton to all this, that the Aid Societies are IN
faithful and avaricious, and fraudulent besides,
we shall have even still more powerful incen-
tives to discourage and discountenance them
| We commend the communication TO which we
have referred and the many signatures attached
to it, tc the attention of those concerped and
demand in the name Of the destitute and i'm
poverished men and women who have lost their
sustance in the late distressing collisions in
Kansas, that the. agents who have made collec-
tons for their relief be held to strict accounta-
Fbiiity, ,and thatsthe aims and character of these
Aid Societies be more closely examined into
If they shall prove to be mere associations o.
the benevolent we have no right to question
the propriety of their formation, but ifthey'bt
merely banded pgcon-droppers in disguise, il
will become the duty of the press to expose and
uproot them. The happiness Of people mas
more claim. .upqn the sympathy of the public
than the success Of spectators in charity. MOI
in this language do we wish to confne ourselves
exclusively to those associations which have
been formed in the North under this title
Equally severe cri,ninations have been passed
time and again in our hearing upon similar
schemes in the South, AMI we have no doubt
but that what our correspondent says Of the
desperation to which many wero reduced by
disappointment in fulfilling the promises made
to them before emigrating drove them into
scenes of plunderwhich disgraced the Territory
during the past summer We have already pub
lished some Of these charges in the cases Of
complaints against Buford, Wilkes and OF hers
from the south, and now perform our duty as
an impartial journal in giving prominence to the
present disclosures concerning the7Aid Societies
Of the North. In the shape in which they come
and endorsed as they are by many res dent set
tiers Of Kansas, it will not do for this matter to
be passed over, in silence, and we shall await
with some anxiety to see the explanations that
may come from the companies and individuals
implicated" ....... .r
