They were then in companies of
hundreds, they had family circles and
looked happy. they took quarters in the
cabins of steamboats,, and partook of the
luxury of repose and plenteous table.
They were thrifty looking emigrants who
would do honor to any new country.
1--WE now see them in squads of tens
AMI twenties-crippled, sickly, and ap-
plrendy poverty stricken - crowded
upon the decks of steamboats,, almost
begging their way back to the homes
they had left but few months before.
And civil war in Kansas has wrought all
this mischief-doomed many hopeful
heart to despair and death, and embit-
tered the lives of hundreds more whose
piteous stories the world will never
know"
The Indianapolis Journal daguerreo-
types a scene in the Union Depot of that
city. A family of thirteen, ragged,
hungry and moneyless, sickIy and dis.
heartened, were begging their way back
from Kansas TO Kentucky. The Journal
says: -..
',HE BAD BEEN DRIVEN FROM KANSAS,
HE SAID, By THE BUCHANAN MEN, as so
many other poor settlers have been and
robbed of every dollar he had in the
world. His cattle had been stolen by
Buford's thieves, and he expelled from
the Territory because he would not take
arms against tie ''iraitor Lane" as the
Sentinel calls Lin. He moved from near
Lexington, Ky, and his name was
Ritchie. They had no property, no
money, no provisions, no medicines,
though several of them we're sick, and
almost no clothes. So forlorn and wretch
ed a family We never saw, and they
were made SO by the infamous scoun-
drels whom the Administration hired as
kansas Militia, TO execute the Kansas
laws. They were one of the productions
of Democratic policy"
The Springfield Republic ~ learns by
private letters from Lawrence, Sept. 16,
that the supply of wheat flour. had been
exhausted for six weeks, and it was moi
yet possible to obtain fresh supplies from
Missouri. The people lived by grating
their new corn for meal, and had besides
abundance Of excellent potatoes, beeI
and melons Wild plums also plenty
Money very scarce, the resources of the
settlers having been exhausted in pro-
curing means of self-defence, and al
business having been suspended for SC
long lime during the recent terrible
invasion. The writer says:
Oppression makes good soldiers

nit themselves to be crushed to the feet OF
masters like dogs of slaves would disgrace their
name and position as American citizens, even
more than those who established the laws dis
grace the name. The same men who are re-
sisting these laws, render implicit obedience to
the laws and officers of the United States
They are law-abiding men, but they will not
abide by what are not laws, and anything SIM
liar to which aeve7 can be LAWS in any State
or Territory of this Republic. We have al
ready given extracts from these laws to illus
trate the despotism which receives democratic
support. We shall give still further extracts
to open the eyes of the people relative not only
to Kansas iniquities, but to Indiana iniquities
so far as the Old Line party is concerned.

John Petit Again.

1t appears this notorious BLACKBOARD is ever
to remain on the surface of politics so long as
there is Democratic party. 1t has surprised
us that Petit did not long time ago emigrate
to the borders of Kansas, and take his place by
the side of Atchison. Two other such Sena
torial blackguards never before found party
low and vile enough to uphold them. Petit
made a speech few days ago at lafayette
The Courier thus reports part of it.
As a specimen of his misrepresentation, in
which he evidently intended to mislead his
hearers, we will mention but one. He stated
that the Fusion Legislature of Indiana, thro'
their ignorance and incapacity, failed to pass
an apportionment bill, for the election of Rep
resentatives and Senators. After he had
closed Mr. Stafford inquired of Petit if the
Lower House did not pass an apportionment
bill, which the old line Senate refused to con-
cur in.
''No, sir!'' replied Petit with emphasis
"The Senate passed the apportionment bill,
and the House refused to pass it,
| STAFFoRD-"You are certainly mistaken
Mr.. Petit. The Fusion House passed the bill
and the Old Line Senate refused to concur in
its passage"
PETTIr-"It is not so. Cd d-n it.
never make a statement in public, which is not
true, and which l cannot prove"
The Courier proves by the records of the
Senate and House that Petit was uronq-
Like nine-tenths or ninety-nine one hun
dredths OF the statements he makes in public
this assertion was false, and John Petit kraeu
it. The apportionment bill as it passed the
House was a fair and just bill. With the
amendments of the Senate it became a rascally
electioneering scheme.

PeriIs of a Correspondent.

The New York Tribune publishes portion
of a private business letter, from their Kansas
Correspondent, which shows the perils to
which writers for Anti-Slavery journals are
subjected This gentleman was originally a
Democrat of Illinois, and a supporter of Doug
las, until the latter betrayed his State, and
compromised the honor of his party by the
Kansas Nebraska bill:

6FThe St. Louis News says:

The Kansas Congressional committee have
been pushing their investigation very quietly
but at the same time thoroughly They 60
from this to Detroit where they will remain
several days. 1t is said that the testimony
before them clearly proves that only eight
hundred and fifteen of those whose names
were on the census voted at the legislative
election on the Both Of March, 1855 and that
not over eleven hundred of those who voted
made any pretensions to residence in the Ter
ritory-the whole vote cast was fise thousand
five hundred.
Read that! And yet the rascally laws en-
acted by this Legislature, elected by the peo-
pie of Missouri,-for probably not hundred
bona fide citizens Of Kansas voted for the men
who were elected-are those laws which for
refusing to obey, men in Kansas are hunted
down like wild beasts by bands of marauders,
who know no law but that of rapine and vio-
lence. They are supported by U. S. troops
ordered out by Gen. Pierce, and Immediately
directed by his drunken tool Shannon, who in
turn are supported by the Democracy all over
the country! The Democratic press in this
State as in all other States,a are upholding these
Kansas outrages. They are demanding that
the Free State men shall yield obedience to
to the lars. To what 'laws?" Why to laa0s
made for the government of Kansas citizens by
the people of Missouri, and the lowest wretches
Of Missouri at that-la1os which the citizens
of Kansas had no part in making, and which
prevent them opening their mouths to ex-
press an honest opinion unless agreeable to the
opinions of men who have but one idea and are
crazy on that-laoos crushing free speech and
Tree press, making it penitentiary offence
to speak or write anything creeping one single
thing on certain question, for even CARRYING
into the State document which denies the
right Of slavery in Kansas These are the
laws which Pierce and his minions are now
assisting the border ruffians to carry out. and
in which course he is upheld by the Old Line
Democracy in Indiana.
The Free State men are right in opposing
flaws thus made, and as tyranical, as cruelty
despotic, as ever were established on the face
Of the EARTH even on the borders of country
pretending to civilization. They are right in
resisting arrests under this infamous code of
legal scoundrelism, and despising and defying
courts and officers appointed under this code.

Judge Bakers Speech.

Judge Baker, candidate on the Peoples
Ticket for Lieut.. Governor, was called upon
at the great Kansas meeting of last Saturday
night, and made an enthusiastic speech, when
was warmly applauded throughout. We never
saw more enthusiasm at public meeting
Not having taken notes of Judge Bakers
speech. we shall not pretend to give report
of his different positions and arguments we
wish every man in the county could have
heard this speech. Judge Baker reviewed the
positions cf the leaders of the Old Line party
in this State, contrasting their attitude, on the
slavery extension question, of few years ago,
with their present position. He read from the
letters and published opinions of a number of
these prominent leaders, and proved that II
he is an Abolitionist as had been charged,
so agere tbey till this Kansas Nebraska bill
came up. He, Baker, never avowed such Alb
clifton doctrines as Jos. E. Mcdonald, the Old
Line candidate for Attorney General, had
published over his own name. He read the
letter of Mcdonald in which he advocates
the abolition of slavery in the District of Co.
lumbia, and in case that cannot be done, the
removal of the seat of Government to Free
Soil. We have already published this letter
and hope it will be thrown in the face of every
Old Liner who so much as breathes the word
Abolitionist in the face Of any man opposed tC
the Old Line party.
Judge Baker said he had years ago opposed
the further extension of slavery into free ter
ritory, and when occupying this position hi
stood directly side by side with an avowet
principle of the Democratic party in this State
He was for interfering in no manner with
slavery where it exists at present. Our friends
in Kentucky might hold slaves at their owl
pleasure--it was none of his business, no
had he either the disposition or the right t.
interfere with them. But he did oppose the
extension Of slavery, more especially into ter
ritory declared by solemn compact between
the North and South free territory torever.
this made him an Abolitionist, then he was
not ashamed of the title, nor would MAORI
ty of the people Of Indiana be ashamed to en-
dorse such doctrine. They did it in 1854 anC
they would do it in 1856. lie was opposed
to the Kansas Nebraska bill, and also to sucl
mobocracy as its legitimate results now bein!
seen in and about Kansas-and in favor of tn
restoration of the Missouri Compromise.
We give this slight abstract Of his remark
on this point, as the Old Line enemies of Judg
Baker have been particularly busy and vim
dictive in charging him with being an Adolf
ZIONIST, and have most grossly misrepresentec
him. We hope Judge Baker will soon tax
the stump. He should speak in every county
in the State if possible before the election.
