Mrs. CUTTERS NARRATIyE.-Thep er-

HUH, was SD ueeply interesting. tnat we
cannot but regret that so few listened to
the recital. To see and to hear, one who
had herself been part of the thrilling
scenes enacted in Kansas. brought home
the matter more wildly to ones mind,
than to read the same things in newspa-
pers. Scenes which could not be recall
ed without choking voice and over
flowing eyes, were too evidently not got
up for poleticat effect!
Mrs. Cutter told the ladies that if
those people who protested to disbelieve
the story of the diabolical outrages in
Kansas, would only go there, and own
that they came from Massachusetts,, the
treatment they would receive would be
as much of punishment as she should
wish for them. No matter how peacea-
bly, disposed they might be. simply to
be known to come from State that low
ed Freedom, would draw down upon
them ill treatment enough to punish
them for their hooking disbelief
Strange it is, that such hooking can
proceed from the hearts and lips of PEG.
pie otherwise humane and excellent.
Mrs. Cutter told US that there was one
man now living in Lawrence, who had
been scalped He was one Of three who
suffered the fiendish operation the other
Two died under it.
The narrative of Mrs. C.'s personal
in Kansas, was as interesting
as romance, and when we felt that it
was all true, and that she who stood be-
fore us had been called upon to do, and to
suffer, these perilous things, it is not
strange that tears and sobs bore witness to
the sympathy which her story excited
That this sympathy will show itself in
deed, we are glad to believe. Willing
hands to work, and hea IT'S and heads to
aid in raising help for these who are de-
to suffer, and if need be, die for
Freedom, will. we trust, meet the ladies
at the City Hall next Thursday, and God
speed the right. Wing.
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. In rela-
ton to the election of congressman, the
Boston Advertiser says, ut should be
observed that about half of the reported
democratic gains in the House are gain
cd at the expense of the American men,

the present Congress. have co.opcrated
with the administration. These gains,
therefore are merely nominal"
