FROM CROTON, NETWORK.
Of The N. Y. Tribune

Core spondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
CROTON, N. Y, Wednesday July 10, 1856.
An address was delivered in this village last
evening by Walter Oakley, esq, recently from
Kansas, on the condition Of affairs in that Terri
tory.
The meeting was organized by calling GEORGE
WALKER to the chair, and appointing X. u. TALL
COT, Secretary.
Mr.. Oakley presented clear view Of the sys-
tenn of wrong and outrage prscticed upon the
Free.State settlers by the Missouri B0rderers.
Many thrilling scenes of violence which came
under his own observation were narrated, and es-
pecially the workings Of those infamous, intOler-
able laws passed by the bogus Legislature.
His statements were fully established by refer.
ence to an official copy of said laws which he held
in his hand The audience listened to the speaker
with breathless attention for two hours, clearly
eyinciDg their interest in the subject.
At the conclusion DIR. ULderhill made stirring
appeal on behalf of Freedom, maintaining that,
willie it was our duty to respect the guaranteed
rights of the South the + ederal Government was
bound by the Constitution to protect American
citizens in life liberty and the pursuit OF happl,
ness; that the bogus laws which the minions OF
the Federal Executive are endeavoring to force
upon the people of Kansas are more mt0lerable
than those of the Spanish InquisitiOn. Their
parallel can scarcely be found in history.
Had the present system of tyranny and outrage
practiced in Kansas been suddenly sprung upon
any portion of our people, it must have produced
instant revolution.
A vote of thanks to the lecturer was passed. and
the meeting djourned at late hour I.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, July 8, 1856.
From letters just received here from different
parts of New Hampshire, that State may be get
down for FREMONT and DAYTON by about ten
thousand majority. A writer from Keene says:
sour ratfca ion meeting on the Fourth was mon
ser and after hsyine, we intend to have another and
much larger one. There at least four thousand
persons p.esert It was the largest demonstration
have lad in the County for long time.
"The Border Rufishs undertook secretly, and at
great expense, to get up meeting the Fourth
which would Outsbne ours. b. +. Hallet, Harry Hib-
bard, Foster, ard Wheeler were the speakers. Halet
and hibbard were on hand. Foster did not come, and
Wheeler would have nothing to do WITH It. They sue
ceeced in collecting about 500, including women.
They are exceedingly chopfaen NJ their failure.
"There is the same result everywhere In the State"
Another letter received FROM Concord, says:
"In this city on the 4th the Fremont ratification

If the friends of Fremont and Dayton are as ac-
