KANSAS EXCITEMENT IN THE NORTH
We find in the Northern papers letter
from Col. Harvey, who, with ninety asso'
ciates, were sent out ms emigrants by the Ma
tional Kansns committee. in his letter he
says: "As ! am interested in the fate Of this
territory, I would say to those who intend
coming to Kansns, come on your own re-
sponsibii:y, and then you know what to de-.
pend upon, for you cannot depend upon the
assistance which is promised you'll you start
under the promise of the Kansas aid Society.
That is nothing more or less than spec.
ulating operation from beginning to end,
which originated in Yankeedom, and IL is
time thnt the honest donators should be
duped no longer for bleeding Kansas" This
nccount establishes the wisdom Of citizen,
concerning whom famous anecdote WINS
circulated in the recent canvass. When call
ed upon by the Kansns committee, he refus.
ed 10 subscribe. "What," exclaimed one Of
the committee, "not n cent for bleeding Kan
sass" "No," said he, mot red-let her bleed.

TRs LATE ELEcrIon.-The editor OF the
Memphis Bulletin, an Old Line Wing, who
supported Mr.. Buchanan, md II very ardent
opponent Of the American party, says that
Mr.. Buchanan's election is not regarded by
the members of the Democratic party rs n
mere party iriumph-thnt II is a triumph
over Northern section alism, in which no
mean assistance was rendered by hundreds
md thousands Of men who have not had,
and who yet have not any affliation with
the distinctive and especial policy of the par.
ty which, nominated him.
The editor adds that the defeat Of Mr. Fill.
more is not to be regarded as "the passing
ofa popular verdict against the fitness Of shat
good man for the station he once adorned"
and that II is not even decision against
what there may be Of good and patriotism
in the policy Of the American purity. lie
goes on to say that II rational conservative,
and just modification of the naturalization
laws, and the exertion of soui.d and
heathful and just popular sentiment against
all poltical.reigionism will not fail before
the American people.

New York Journal of Commerce.:

JHE SLAVE TRADE FLOURISHING.-A
gentleman, who has recently arrived in this
city from the coast of Africa, states that he
learned from good authority that there were
thirty vessels, principally Portuguese, or sail.
ing under thu: character, lying In the creeks
Mt the mouth OF the Congo river, waiting for
cargoes OF slaves and on the look out for
opportunities TO ge: to sea unperceived by
the cruisers. Sheltered by the thick growth
OF forest which abounds there, these slaves
are safe from observation. Persons are sta.
toned near the mouth of the river to give
warning OF the vicinity OF national vessels,
| and, when the coast is clear, the traders Sc
lect dark night and fair wind, and effect
their escape in safety. The English gov.
ernment has steamer on the coast, but IL il
too slow 10 oe Of much service. With a
propitiOus breeze the smart c!ipperbuilt
slavers lind little difficulty in evading the
pursuit of the clumsy antagonist. Not long
ago, n brig supposed to be the American
craft, was making her way out of the mouth
Of the Congo river, with four hundred ne.
groes on board when she was espied by the
stenn,er, which promptly gave chase. The
brig slipped from her pursuer with the great.
est ease. The steamer fred several shots n,
her, but without success. .t.... .......
When the brig had got out Of the reach
of tile steamers guns, the captain, by way OF
tan,alizng the baffled cruiser, ordered negro
to be pulled up to the yard arm where he was
allowed to hang for some time, as an insult
ing token OF the acknowledged character OF
the vessel. The captain also signifed his
exultation by his standing at the stern and
fiddling MS his brig scuddtd away. 1t is said
that the trade in the vicinity Of Congo
might be stopped, or at least materially di
minished, by a small well armed steamer, CO.

Gov Wright will address the Democracy
this evening. We hope our neighbor will be
present with file of his papers, of last Sep
TENDER, containing article after article ofdown-
right abuse of ''that demagogue" Gov. Wright,
and that he will take with him the numerous
gentlemen who signed petition for the ap-
poiniment of an Evansville Democrat Canal
Trustee. While there, let them inquire about
the health Of the Governors brother-in-law,
who got the Office over their heads, and upon
no other merits than being a relative to the
Governor, and all in the family. Let our
German friends who have been fighting so
hard against the Prohibitory Liquor Law, as
direct attack upon their liberties and whe
had to close their beer houses and stop drink
ing lager, go hear the man who in his last
message recommended the Legislature to pass
such measure, and after the bill pas sed made
il u lac by his approval and signature.
Let them go and hear the man who when
he recommended in his message Prohibitory
Law, said, no estimate Of tie loss Of business The
loss Of dollars and cents to the manufacturer 0,
retajler, or the loss of trade and commerce to The
State should be considered in Importance with
the nuisances prodced by intemporance-and
to remedy which he recommended a Prohibi-
tory Law. Gov. Wright had it in his power
to delact this law or to prevent its ever becom-
ing law. lie did as much as Republicans to
make it law-so let these opponents of the
Liquor Law, who suffered fines, Imprisonment
and persecution go to hear the Governor, and
shout him applause.

The Enquirer says the pickering between
the Journal and the Fillmore men is very
amusing. We correct it so far as to say there
is no pickering between the Fillmore men and
the Journal. The Journal is first, last and
all the time for Fillmore-and any man hon
estly and earnestly for Fillmore has no quarrel
with us. But the Journal has no sympathy
with men who are seeking to elect Judge
Lockhart to again represent this District in
Congress, no matter by what name Lockhart's
friends are called. No real Fillmore men will
directly or indirectly assist in electing to Con-
gress the bitterest and most corrupt foe Fill
more has in this District, and who more than
any other man in the District has publicly
abused and vllifed the supporters ofFilmore.
That is a fact, and will not be disputed by any
but the men who with Fillmore on their lips.
have the election Of his Enprinciped enemy at
their hearts.
The Enquirer is engaged in defending the
course of those few who from misunderstood
ing as to Mr.. Veatch's positions. were dis
posed to object to him as a candidate. This is
certainly very complimentary to them, and
we hope they appreciate it. We submit it tc
the reflection of Ill interested without COM
ment.
AS we have alluded to the Enquirer, We
make the following extract from its issue o
yesterday:
One fact in connection with the nomination
of Mr. Veatch, we are assured the Journa
mistates There were three ballots instead o
two, and on the last ballot on which Mr. v
was nominated, the Vanderburgh delegation
did not vote at all-they were informed wher
they got ready to vote that they need not dC
Iit-that the nomination l0as made. The frs
ballot was, however, an informal one.
Before correcting others, a man should b'
well assured he has the facts upon which tt
base his correction. The first ballot being al
informal one, was not cf course counted-st
that there were officially but two ballots
The Vanderburgh delegation did vote on thu
second and last regular ballot, and voted fo
Veatch and moreover without knowing how
all the other delegations had voted We hav
already published the votes in detail.

Look on, for a PACKED Convention |!

Hall, Gavitt's toady, is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff. AS he is
brought out under Gavitt's direct patronage,
and Gavitt has shown his abilities for packing
conventions, we rather incline to the belief
that he will get the nomination. The fact
that he has been dead drag on his party
here the last two years, and has done it more
injury than any dozen enemies could have in
Acted, is no reason why he should not get the
nomination, as Democratic Conventions in Van
derburgh county have Of late been no expo
nents of the will Of the Democracy Of the
county, but merely exhibitions of the skill OF
unprincipled demagogues in packing to secure
the very opposite of that will. We think
Gavitt is playing double game in this Sher-
if question, bat as his object now is to securt
the nomination Of his particular organ, he will
most probably succeed. He packed the
Apollo Hall Convention, and the late county
convention that chose Lockhart delegates, and
he will no doubt pack this sufficiently to car
~ out his own views. We rather hope he
may do it. We should like to see Hallout for
