Matters in Kansas.

Mr.. Eldridge, one Of the proprietsrs of the
Free State Hotel at Lawrence, arrived in this city
yesterday, direct from Kansas, ria the Missouri
River and st. Louis. He represents the condi-
ton of things in that ruffian ridden Territory as
most deplorable, confirming in every respect the
accounts which we have received and published
before. In passing through Missouri, for dis
lance Of about one hundred miles, on horseback,
Mr.. Eldridge found in many places active pre-
parations going on for throwing large bodies of
armed men into the Territory. The lying ex-
aggerations INDUCED in by the Border Press,
had excited the MIssourians fearfully; and they
were crossing the river in great numbers from
Liberty and othtr parts OF Clay county, vowing.
vengeance upon every one suspected of enter
tanning Free State sentiments, eren dozen to ,co-
men and children. The roads leading from the
river into the Territory are in the hands of the
Rufians. 1t is impossible to get up provisions,
arms or ammunition III any quantities whatever,
except by clrcuitous and difficult routes Travel
ing, except for Rufians. is impossible, unless
by stealth and in the night. Outrages upon the
persons and property of the settlers are of daily
occurrence, and murder of innocent unoffend-
ing men has become so common as to attract but
Ettle remark. The Free State men in some To-
ealities have exhausted their provisions and are
living upon greens, with neither bread or meat.
But they are not intimidated nor at all inclined
to recede from the position they have assumed
The determination of the invaders to sweep
every Free State man out of Kansas, is openly
expressed They swear that Kansas shall be
theirs. All considerations of right and wrong,
all restraining influences of law and Justice are
set aside, and they are proceeding to a summary
ana bloody execution Of their deyiish purpose.

The Convention.

A large number were in attendance in the
Convention at Madison yesterday. The dele
cations were not full, small counties not being
represented, but considering the season of the
year, there was larger number present than the
most hopeful expected, and the outsiders far out
numbered the delegates. Na
The proceedings of the delegates were spiri-
ted and harmonious, and the best feeling pre-
vailed. The Convention thoroughly purged it
self of all affinity with Know Nothingism, and
went as far in that ERECTION as the most decided
anti Know Nothing could desire. The appoint
ments of delegates and committees, as whole,
gave general satisfaction. The resolutions took
high anti-slavery ground, and present Seward,
Chase and Summer as the men, either of whom
Wisconsin would delight to honor.-Not awhis-
per for Fremont or any halfway man, but the
overwhelming voice has given strong anti
slavery platform. Now place strong man on
it and we can give him the vote OF this State.
We shall speak further of the resolutions when
we receive them. | 2+.
The proceedings of the Mass Convention will
be found in our columns The friends of the
Mass Cow ntion would have preferred to send
five delegates to Philadelphia, III accordance
with the suggestions of the National Committee.
but the friends of the delegate Convention
thought it inexpedient. So far as we know the
friends of the Mass Convention were satisfied
with the decided action of the delegate Conven-
ton, both as respects the platform and candi-
dates, and we trust that all the friends of Free
dom in this State will henceforth act together as
a unit.--Free Democrat.

The Nation is on the of the most exciting, and
perhaps the most virulcnt and vindictive-because
the most imertantpolitical strife which it has
or experienced Aud whatever side issues may be
attempted to be gotten up-however either party
may attempt to avoid or ignore the grand issue
whoever may be the candidates on either side or
whatever platforms they may stand on, the strife
has but two sides, and those distinct, palpable and
unequivocal. On one eide is Slavery National,
Liberty Sectional; OH the ether is Liberty National
Slarery Sectional. Voters may be animated by
such motives as they please on either side-they
may vote with such purposes such mental reserva'
tons, such ultimate hopes and intentions as they
please, but all votes put into the ballot box will
have significance only on or the other of these
questions. Those who vote with the mia-called
Democracy will vote to make Slavery the ruling,
governing principle of the nation, those who vote
with the Republicans, will vote to restore the gov
ernment to first principles, and re-insate Liberty
the dominant principle of the nation.
Amid the din and clash acrmony of political
strife and the attempts on both sides, on the part
politicians, to throw dust in the eyes of the peo-
ple-to deceive them and blind them--tbey should
keep the main point in view. 1t is the all in all of
the contest 1t is blow for freedom or slavery; and
we earnestly entreat each voter, now at the com.
mencement of the strife before either prejudice or
passion has been enlisted, to ponder well his duty
and act firmly and consistently in the line of such
duty.
| For ourself, as we love our fellows-as we love
the raee-as we love our land and its institutions
and oud give that freedom which is their natural
condition to the world, we shall labor for the tri

is no exaggeration to say that nnetenths of all the
