TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW: YORK.

II has been determined that the fund to furnish
material aid to Kansas contributed at the meeting a,
the Tabernacle On Monday evening, the 9th inst, and
the other which may be added to shs. fund shall
be applied exclusively to supplying food 20 breth
rem in that Territory WHO have been driven from
house and home OF prevented from putting in their
crops by the invasons Of armed marauders from
without the Territory, or who have been otherwise
reduced to destitution and suffering by the same
cause. The distribution, whether OF provisions OF
money, will be made in Kansas by perfec..,.y trust
worthy committee. and the public may rely upon it
that 80 far as the utmost and wachfulnes. csn
insure it, DO part Of their gifts for this purpose will be
squandered upon undeserving useless objects. On
such grounds az these the undersigned confidently ap
peal to the citizens Of NewYork for ad in this holy
cause of charity and liberty.
Our brethren in Kanfas known to be already,
many of them in state Of great suffering for lack of
food Their homes have been dev astated and their
cattle stolen and slaughtered, while their fields are
still implanted, owing to the hsrasing and constant
attacks of the Border Ruians Unless relief is pro-
vided, Thousands Of them must be in absolute want o.
bread and meat during the next Winter Indeed,
there is ample TO believe that part Of the in.
ferna scheme of which they are the victims to drive
them from the Territory by starvation.
Under such circumstances, appeal to the heart OF
New York. Give us the means to send food to these
martyrs Of liberty! Let all who have mite to spare
cast it into this sacred treasury Small contributions
as well as large will be gladly received aud ac-
knowedged. And let this metropolis, whose teeming

Daniel Webster and John Randolph.

At the late Webster Anniversary dinner in
Boston, the following story was told by Prof
Sanborn, of Dartmouth College:
During the first years of Webster's service
in Congress, Mr.. Calhoun was speaking upon
a proposition to require all the government
dues to be paid in silver and gold. He was op-
posed to the measure; argued its inconveni-
ence TO the agents of the government with
great ability, and incidentally asserted that in
no instance had our government ever resorted
to such measure. Mr.. Webster. sitting by
Randolph's side said to him;
HE is mistaken on that pointer there is
a post office law in tha year '17--requring dep
uties to receive only silver and gold in pay
ment of postage
is there such law?' said Randolph with
great eagerness; show it to me-
Mr.. Webster stepped to the Clerks desk,
and selecting a volume of United States laws
which contained the enactment alluded to-,
and opening to the very page where it was
found, gave the book to Randolph. He studied
