The YANKEES in Kansas.

How they got Cannon into Laurence.
A l2-pound howitzcr was sent from
New York to Lawrence. When the war
broke out it was at Kansas City and an in
vading camp between the two places. How
to get it to Lawrence, was the question of
the day. Messrs. Bullum volunteered to
bring it up. They went to Kansas City and
got the boxes in which 1t was packed, As
they were ascending hill, posse of forty
invaders came down upon them, and said
they must examine the boxes, as they be-
lieved them TO contain Sharpc's rifles.
"Oh, no! boys" said Buf'um, 'ts part of
a carriage- here, hand me an axe and I'll
show you wheel"
He took an axe and split open part of the
box, in which one of the wheels of the can
non was packed. This rSe succeeded.
"What's the reason your horses draw so
heavy?" asked another of the posse.
ooh" said Buffum, "they're tired-wont
You gve us a shove up the hill, boys?"
Several of the invaders but their "shoul-
Gers TO the wheels" and assisted the horses
in ascending with their load.
A vote of thanks was proposed at the
mass meeting held at Lawrence on Monday
night, to these assistants, but as their names
were unknown a request was made that all
newspapers favorable to freedom in Kansas
would publish the circumstance, and thank
them in the name of the people of yankee
town."

ST. PAUL, January 1, 1855.
Prof o. J. Woop--Dear Sir. Unsolicited, send
you this certificate. After being nearly bald for
along time, and having tried all the hair restora-
tives extant, and having no faith in any, was in
dnced, on hearing OF yours, TO give it trial. I
placed myself in the hands of a barber, and had
my head rubbed with good stiff brush, and the
restorative then applied and well rubbed in, till
the scalp was all aglow. This repeated every
morning, and in three weeks the young hair an
peared, and grew rapidly from August last IN 10
the present time--and is now thick, black and
strong, soft and pleasant to the touch-whereas.
before il was harsh and wiry, what little there
was Of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. / still use your restorative about twice
a week, and shall soon have good and perfect
crop of hair. Now, have read of these things,
and who has not?-but have never hitherto seen
any case in which any PERSONS hair was really
benefited by any of the hair tonics, &c., of the
day; and il really gives pleasure 10 record the
result Of my experience. I have recommended
your preparation TO others, and it already has a
large and general sale throughout the Territory
The people here saw its effects, and have conf
dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole
sale agents for the territory, is nearly exhausted,
and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve
credit for your discovery for one, return YOU
my thanks for the benefit il has done me- for cer-
tainly had despared long ago of ever efectlng any
such result. Yours, hastily, J.W. BOND,

From the Philadelphia Argus
THE GERMAN DEMOCRACY MOVING.

The German democracy of the Seventeenth Ward Of this
city had very large and enthusiastic meeting Friday
evening last and those Of the Twenty FIRST Twelfth and
Thirteenth Wards had equally well attended meetings
Saturday evening" all indicating that German fellow
citizens not only thoroughly aroused to their duty in
the coming struggle but resolved TO leave part
that duty unperformed The following resolutions adopted
at the meeting in the Twelfth Ward express the sentiments
of the German democracy of Philadelphia their devotion
to democratic principles and their adherence Of the
rent attempts Of the opposition to deceive them into
Of action that only result in denying to adopted
citizens Of every class all the rights GUARANTEED them by
the constitution
from the earliest times OF the republic and find that they
have always been the which free and independent
men, who governed only by reason AID justice ought
to profess aud further know that the actions of the
democrats which made this Union the greatest and the
happest republic the globe have also been In strict
respondence with the principles of democracy and the
democratic party has always been just TO everybody and
consequently also 10 the emigration especially In acknowl
edging the worth the character and patriotism OF the
Germans therefore,
Be resolved, That we will firmly stand by the demo-
cratic party as the party Of equal rights TO all who
take equal responsibility.
ResoUe That the solution of the slavery question can
be brought about in the shortest time and in the safest
manner without interference of abolitonss by the nat
ura development Of this country. This has already made
the proportion Of the free States to slave States in the
Union, which to IL at the time Of the Declaration OF
Independence, to be better than l. and has made
the grea, and powerful States Of New York pennsyva
Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Michigan Wisconsin, Iowa, &c
free and happy members Of the Union.
That the accomplishment Of the pretended only purpo,e
OF the opposition party TO make Kansas free State by
force includes violation Of the constitution and the
greatest danger for the Union.
That therefore, the republicans have no title 10 be party
and that by their alliance with know-nothingsm they
stand there as traitors to freedom and especially to emf
grafton
That for these reasons we find that the safety and the
welfare OF the Union depend on the election Of James Blu
chanan and John Breckinrdge and we will make eyery
effort and use all legal means to effect this
That therefore, the citizens Of the Seventeenth Ward Of
GHman descent to bring about this happy result have or
ganized this Buchanan and Breckenridge Ward Club
That the proceedings and resolutions be published in
the democratic papers OF this city
