~ movements were not caused a.

lied upon predetermined plan, and
with out reference TO the Aid Society.
The election is now over, and our Ke-
publican friends can at present afford
10 tell little more truth. So the
President of the Aid Society, Eli
Thayer, in speech at a banquet in
Springfield, Massachusetts,, has let the
cat out OF the bag and convicted stroll
ing Abolition orators of faisehood and
deception.
Mr.. Thaycr said the E,n,grani Aid
Society was justly entitled to all the
crc'li, Of building such cities as Law
renee, Topeka, Manhattan, O,sawatto-
ME and numerous other cities in Kan
sas, and had gwen strength and c"uT
age To- those who bad fought for the
freedom OF Kansas upon its battle fields.
He acknowledged that no southern
society organized to compete with his
Societ, has been successful, but all Of
them had signally failed.
No; satisfied with the war, and blood
she'd III Kansas, Eli Thaver said that
society would be organized IN New
York City to abolish slavery III Nr-

lhe>, disclosures OF the President
OF the Massachusetts, Aid Society, has
disgnstcd even the corrupt and villain.
Gus Bennett, who saws:
Mr.. buchanan will give US ,air
conservative administration. as lar as
Kansas Is concerned, and these men
will find their stock in trade taken
away from them. Mr.. Buchanan will
enforce the laws IN relation to tina,
Territory, and will see that the act IN
der which it was organized is ohcyed
both IN letter and in spirit. The actu-
at settlers will be left free to choost
between freedom and slavery, and the
new State will come in, according to
the desires Of its citizens. Probably
it will be a free State. If it should be
a slave State the circumstance will BE-
owing almost entirely to the efforts OF
such noisy Intermediates as Mr.. Eli
Thayer and his Worcester Emigrant
Aid Society. They have divided the
settlers one against the other-every
mans hand has been against that of his
neighbor; and instead Of working to-
gether for the interest of all-which is
the only basis of the prosperity of a
new countryside citizens of Kansas
have been engaged in a conflict which
could have no effect upon the question
at issue, and from the disastrous effects
OF which the young State will need
years to recover.
We long for the era of common
sense, and trust that, as the main mo-
tive which has inpelled the Kansas in.
surrectionists, North and South, has
ceased to exist-that as the election
is over,thc President made--they will
all return to the obscurity from which
they emerged only to heap disgrace
upon their country"
