Fanaticism on the Wing.

A few evenings since we had the pleas
ure of making the acquaintance of the
Sheriff of Doniphan county, who related TO
ne some of the scenes he witnessed at that
ro.orions abolition hole Lawrence. last tall.
The Sheriff said he was strolling about the
,oEn OF Lawrence to catch some items,
when he came upon hut which contained
one woman and child; both barefooted and
the former sitting with a book in her hand,
and tears stealing down her cheeks, with
q mournf,il face and ever anon she would
bring long sigh. The house was made
of plank turned up cndwise, the cold wind
whistling through the cracks, and the only
comfort wac TO be found by stove made
Of sheet iron. The Sheriff like noble
barted "Border Rufian," become solicitous
for the welfare of the distressed woman.
The reader may immagine the Sheriff S
feelings when he discovered that the wo-
man was reading "Uncle Toms Cabin
and weeping In sympathy for the negroes
Of the South. The conduct of this deluded
woman proves what fanatics the Massa-
chusetts Aid societies have sent here to IN
fest Kansas. This woman is a fair sample
OF the abolitionists that the southerners
have to contend against. She was almost
without house, but few household COM
forts, barelooted, the weather freezing cold
and yet she was weeping bitter tears in
sympathy for the slaves of the South; while
they were clad in warm habiliments and
blessed with comfortable house and enough
to eat. We expect to visit Lawrence in a
short fine to see the curiosites of that
piace-it is worth more than monkey
show.-Dcniphqn Constitutions alist.
