Know Nothingisu. For Gay or TWO the fllmore
men manifested exultat'on at the success OF the
Drocrsts but a. it becomes evident that the next
Cor oress will be Democratic, and that the contest
i wholly between Buchanan and Fremont, they are
cba,oi,o their tone, and talk of the necessity Of
keeping out buchanan
However. in Massachusetts il is Of little cOnse-
ouence what the Fillmore men do or say. Their
whole strength is concentrated in Boston and It's
immediate vicinity. The rest Of the State is free
from them, with the exception Of Salem, where
there is considerable squad, though still In a
minority Their only chance for mischief IS IN the
two Boston Congressional Districts, where IT Is
possible that they may defeat Mr. ComIns and,
am sOrry 10 say more than possible, that they may
defeat Mr. Burlingame. Nothing can save the lat

bridge. where he resides Old Cambridge, the seat
Of the University has been thoroughly canyassed,
and is three TO one for Fremont over both Fillmore
and Buchanan. And Mr.. Burlngame's vote,
think, will rather exceed the vote for Fremont
throu ghOut his District.
The extraordinary activity suddenly manifested
by the Fillmore men in Boston Is explained by the
fact that Francis Turkey, formerly City Marshal
has assumed or been appointed to their cnleitaih-
ship. He is a Of energy and OF a talent Tor or

Crosby, Nichols & Co. of this city will publish
in a few DAYS a new book on Kansas, by Mrs. Rob
inson. wife Of the Free-State Governor OF Kansas,
who, by the way, is now here, and on Saturday
night delivered an address to a large audience vt
the fremont Temple. Mrs. RObiDsOn's book be-
climate of Kansas its early history, the Blue Lodges
and the designs of the Shareholders. The succeed
ing chapters treat of the following topics: Eastern
Emigration; Border Men; Lawrence; Kansas
Homes; Pioneer Life; Kansas Laws; Governor
Shannon; Murder of Dow; Wakerusa War; Death
of Barber; The Treaty; Death of X. T. Brown;
Winter in Kansas; Committee of Congress- Sheriff
Jones; The Second Invasion; The Attack upon
Lawrence; The Reign of Terror; Arrest OF Gov.
Robinson; Emitted States Camp; Dispersion of the
Legislature; The Third Invasion; Release OF the
State Prisoners. The work, which, think, will
be found to be fully ~ interesting as any that mas
yet appeared ON Kansas, closes with an appeal 10
the American people.

precedent of the Jews who only built the tOmbs OF
prophets whom their fathers killed. 1t matters not
of how different type Dred may be, they insist
upon applying to it the same technical standards.
Their first almost their only question is Z" Is 1t
equal TO Uncle TOm1" No matter for its invention,
it's wit, its humOr, its irresistible logic, its con-
densed and powerful argument, its noble and be-
pipn spirit-the question is, SIS it equal to Uncle
TCml " as if some Yankee snging.master should
compare Madonna to n psalm tune, or decry the
Parihenon as inferior to Old Hundred
Uncle Tom was al incarnate emotion, pleading
against a system of memorable evil with strong
and yearning Outcry, sense OF almost hopeless
distress. Dred is an incarnate argument, arragning
with calm, logical power the legal system OF Slavery
before the bar of Humanity and OF God, demon
strating its guilt and scathing it with the thunders
and lightnngs OF Divine anger These critics see
nothing of this. bred is to them mystery They
are sorry there is so little for him to do" What
would they have him dO1 Raise an insurrection,
perpetrate another Southampton Massacre, and re-
act the tragedy of Nat. Turner Such was not the
design of the author-such is not the meaning OF the
character. He is simply the voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Repent !"-the forerunner OF that
Almighty wrath which, as yet, has nothing 70 90
with the accursed system; which hides Itself aiar;
W hch men do not see know; which moves like
dark specter in the recesses of the painless wild
coming forth only seldom into the ways of men to
utter warnings of impending doom and threatenings
of judgment and fiery and consuming Indignation.
TIE story is but the wide marginal frame az OF "a

the symbol of ong-sufering Divine vengeance,
