Later from kansas.

The st. Louis Democrat has letter from
Kansas, dated Fe5. ls, containing some
items of later intelligence than any We
have heretofore given. The Kickapoo Ran
gers were reported to be collecting in the
vicinity of Easton, making preparations to
commence an attack upon the Free State
men, by driving about seventy from theil
claims. They had sent letter to Stephen
Sparks, prominent Free State man, advis.
ing him to leave the Territory as soon as he
could conveniently do SO. Mr. Sparks it
will be remembered, was taken prisoner at
the election at Easton on the 18th of Jan
uary last, by the Rangers, and afterwards
rescued by Brown with fifteen men. Brown
for this offence vas subsequently kidnapped,
and most barbarously hacked to death by
these same Kickapoo Rangers, who doubt
less intend to butcher Sparks and other
prominent Free State men in that neighbor-
bood in the same mnner when once in their
power.

SIR: Your letter of the eth inst, could
not have caused me to spend one moment
of my time, nor one drop of ink in reply, but
for the fact that, on inquiry of the courteous
members who represent Georgia in this
body, | learned that very recently you had
the audaety to aspire to the seat in the
American Congress, occupied by Gov.
Lumpkin.
The object of your impudenee in thus ad-
dressing me, a stranger to you, is not well
understood. If it was to offend me, permit
me to say that. without provocation, no gen
HenaR would insult memo blackgudrd
can! To which class YOU may belong, it is
not my province to decide: therefore sub
NIT your epistle through the Press to the
people North and South: believing that
their best Judgment will assign to you your
proper position.
But in doing this 1 beg the Northern
reader not to Judge the people of Georgia
by the standard yoU have thus constructed
for yourself because my intercourse, for six
years in this Hall, with their representatives,
satisfies me that the criterion would be gross
" unjust. Georgia is the fast State ofthe
South She has made rapid progress in
physical developement." Although she
sends here those with whom cannot agree
in all respects in matters of national lcgis-
lation, still she sends men of high-toned
character and true 'chivalry." When they
disagree with their peers, they disagree in
that spirit which eharacterizes the states
man and the gantleman-a spirit which it
might be well for you to cultivate.
1 ought, however. to consider your letter,
in some degree well-timed. Of late por-
ton of the newspapers in the Free States
have assailed me because 1 had the temeri-
ty to propose that Mr.. Orr of South Caro-
lima should preside temporarily only over
this body, while in its unorganized condition,
in order to preserve that dignity which
becomes an American Legislature. 1t is
possible, if not probable, that VIM. Lloyd
Garrison of Massachusetts may for this cause
have burned me in efigy, as he burned the
Constitution of sour country" covered
by the shield of distance" yoW may do the
same in Georgia whenever you wish to
amuse yourselfin that way.
When the pitiful, medling,, hectoring ia
natics,"" North and South, have had their
day, and shall have gone down politically
as they ,0iR 60, ".unwept, unhonored and un-
sung" l trust l shall be survivor who will
be in his future as he endeavored to be in
his past, as well in pripate as in public life.

The Triumphant election of B. F. WADE
to the Senate finishes the political pro-
gramme as laid down last fall. Never in
the history of political parties has there been
such an overturning as in Ohio BY the last
two annual elections. The arm of the peo-
pie was raised in its might and it struck
down political sinners, doughfaces and trait
ors. The voice of Freedom spoke and the
political slaves of Southern task masters hid
themselves away in their dens.
Republicans see the victory you have
won; give one cheer for the past; solemnly
vow that for the future the same spirit of
cancellation, the same forgetfulness of person
al and political prejudice shall prevail, and
rest assured future, Illuminated by the bril-
liancy of your late conquests, will guide
Ohio on to an unexampled prosperity and
an unelouded destiny.
Nine times nine for the election of
WADE; an act which is the political cap
sheaf of the Freemen's harvest-home.-

Grent Robbery in Port clinton.

The Sandusky Register of Tuesday
morning, says that "the Office of the Treas
ury of Ottawa County, at Port Clinton,
was entered, Saturday night, and sirtyJfre
hundred dollars abstracted from the money
drawer. The Treasurer, Mr. S, H. SMITH,
that he usually took the money
home at night, but did not do so Saturday.
The room was entered by raising the win
dow. and the money distracted by forcing
the drawer open. No safe or vault was Pre-
yided by the county, for keeping moneys
and books, and for want of such dcposito-
ry this money has been lost. No clue, we
believe, has yet been had of the robber.-
The Western bound train on the c. &

urday night, by snow drifts, and it is sur
missed that some of the light fingered gen.
try, passing on the train, used the spare time

SIR: have been reading your speech on
the Kansas Nebraska bill--House Of Repre-

sase gave me great pleasure. You say =
''I have briefly passed over and Analysed this
act denounce it as transferring the Just
powers of the people of the States to the
National Executive, already swollen with
It's enormous powers of Federal patronage
and Che veto. The transfer is bitter pill"
No doubt Of it, and the entire bill, doubtless,
is more bitter still. But you were forced to
swallow it, tits the sweeter because you
loathe it. Disgorgeitif if you dare. Repeal
the Fugitive Law at your peril Pitiful,
meddling, hectoring fanatic-you dare not
do it. The South is aroused: you see it,
and you will quail; you will crawl back in
to your fanatical den, and snarl, and growl,
and show your claws, but you dare not strike,
and /, for one, am sorry for it: Now mark
me-you have got the vote in the House to
do it. Refuse Kansas admission into the
Union, and in ninety days she will be ad-
mitted into Union free from your foul, CON
taminating connection,
Believe this is mot intended as threat
to deter you-(you are deferred already it
is sent to you in the hope that if you have
one spark of courage, it may fire that spark.
IT'S vain-you will retreat from your lofty
boastings faster than your regiment ran

they had to be covered by Southern shields.

ohio K. n. delegates.

The following is the protest of the Ohio
delegates, to the National Council, on the
adoption Of a pro-sIayery platform by that
body. The American party of Ohio have
always been firmly and unqualifedly OPP
posed to the eneroaehments of the slave
power Had they not been so, the State
could never have given majority of So,
600 votes for freedom. We believe the
Ohio delegates represented the wishes Of
their party in this State when they told the
National Council that they repudiated its
doctrines, and did not feel themselves bound
by its action. The man who gets the vote
of Ohio for President must not be identi-
fed with pro-slavery principles:

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPaIcN.

The Republican Convention at Pittsburg,
has recommended a national convention
at Philadelphia on the 18th of June next.
for the nomination of President and Vice
President. This is carly enough. We
could have wished it had been delayed still
longer. No man presumes to guess who
the Republican candidate will be. Of one
thing we are certain, there viii be no selec-
ton of third and fourth-rate generals and
colonels, with a bar-room popularity. The
candidates will be strong and good men,
selected for their devotion to the great prin-
ciples ofiberty, and for their capacity to
maintain them.
All things look favorableto the success of
our cause. The Americans have nominated
a ticket on which the north and south can
not unite. The result will be that the
southern section of that party will in the
end sustain the slave Democracy The
northern section will sustain the Republican
candidates or throw away theirvotes. One
thing is certain, the people are determined
to make the extension of slavery the issue.
The south are resolved on it, and the north
are equally resolved. In this view the com
ing presidential election involves questions
of vaster momentin themselves, and in their
than have ever been discussed
and settled in the policy of this government
since its foundation. ~ st
