Letter from Senator Mason On Kansas

WINCHESTER, Va, Wednesday, July-22 1851.
To the EdaO,fof the South 4,
DEAR SIR In your paper Of Monday last,
in an article headed Walkers USurpation, =
| observe the following paragraph:
Bat we are tola that HUNTER and MAsoH and other
distinguished Southern Senators in DEBATE on the Nebrs
kaKansas bill expressed the opinion, that Kansas
must be free State, &c.
cannot undertake to say what opinions
may have been expressed by my hOnOred col
league, or by other Senators from the South,
in reference to the probable condition of Kan
sas, though from a, general knowledge of their
views in regard to that Territory, Ishould.uot
doubt that any opinions SO expressed would
have reference to circumstances and cOntingen-
gencies necessarily qualifying them. To avoid
mScostruction, however, | think it proper to
say that | never expressed the opinion thus
ascribed to me, because | never entertained it,
At the time the law passed, organizing the
Territorial Government, there were few with
whom I converscd who did not believe that
the future State would take its place with
those recognizing and cherishing the condition
of A African Slavery There was at that time
certainly every reason to believe why this
sould be so, and none why should it not. The
State of Missouri, bordering on its eastern
| frontier was slave-hoding State holding
at that time nearly hundred thousand slaves,
and these were chiefly held in border counties
The State of Arkansas, adjacent to the Ter
ritory, on the SOUTH was likewise slavehol-
! ding State The soil and climate of Kansas
were we'll adapted to those valuable products,
chiefly hemp and tobacco, which gave value to
slave labor in Missouri The proximity Of its
population, with the attractions of new, fertile,
and cheap land, believe would lead the slave
holders in Missouri to diffuSe themselves speed
lv over Kansas and the prohibitory line of
SO degs, and 80 min. being obliterated, there
was no reason why they should not, had no
fear of fair competition in such appropriation
Of the Territory from any quarter. Unfair
competition did not look to. What may be
the result as to the condition of Kansas, not
withstanding the extraordinary and unScrupu
ous efforts of Northern 9bOlitiOnsts to force
a population there, / cannot undertake to say.
/ Nor will | allude in this place to the new and
unexpected aspect now exhibited to affairs in
! hatiterrtory, with so much propriety reprehen-
ded bv the columns of the S0Uth Whatever
NAV he the information of others, certainly
am not sufficiently Informed of the existing
state of things in Kansas to form clear opin-
ion, one way or the other yet | will venture
to say this much that if African slavery be III
! timately excluded from Kansas, it will be eff
fected by the numera force of organized ma
orities, operating against the usual laws
which govern emigration, and will present a
new and most instructive lesson to the South
ern States. -.
Very respectfully | am, yours &c, &c.
D. NJ MASON.

RUILoFF NOT CAUGHT-The Towanda and
some other papers, few weeks ago gave cur
racy to the report that Ruloff had been seen
near Athens, and pursued We can inform
our readers that the man seen has been caught,
and while we write he is lying in our County
Jail His name is F. S. Marsh He belongs
at Otsego County, and had been imprisoned
for some petty matter for 90 days, but finding
that the days included the nights also, he broke
Jail some time ago and has been wandering
about since. The Deputy Sheriff of Otsego
County hearing of the imaginary Rullotf, visit
ed the locality got glimpse of him, ,and arrest
ed him, and he now lies snug in our Jail till
called for RulIoife is not the fool to be
caught mapping like this Marsh. Orego Go

The CAMPAIGN OPENED.-A large and verv
enthusiastic meeting of the friends of WHMoT
was held at Bloomfield, the county seat of Per
ry, on the 3D. day August. There were persons
present from every election district in the
county. W. W. DIcKENsoN presided, assisted
by no less than fifty vice-presidents The
meeting was addressed at length by the Hon
WILLIAM D. KELLEY of Philad'a The speech
was lengthy and able, and was received with
enthusiasm. After he closed, Mr. BAER, the
buckeye blacksmith, followed him The meet
ing passed strong resolutions, indorsing the
Harrisburgh platform and nominations
Among the resolutions passed was the follow
ing, which We commend most earnestly to the
attention of the Democractic press
Resolred That the refusal of the Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, WIN. i. PACKER, to
accept the challenge of DAVID WHMor to dis
cuss before the people the questions involved in
the present campaign, is the best evidence that
their candidate is either ashamed of his princi-
pies, or is afraid to advocate and defend them
and for that course the people are ashamed to
vote for him, or to trust him with power"

FOREIGN NEws.-By the arrival of the IN
diq at Quebec from Liverpool, Sunday, we
have four days later intelligence from Europe.
The most important of the news is that which
relates to China and India The British fore
es had destroyed the Chinese fleet, and Canton
was in the power of the English. There had
been an advance in tea in consequence. The
news from India is not satisfactory for Great
Britain. Delhi still remains in the hands Of
the mutineers, and the mutiny among the Ben
gal troops was spreading, There was a fall
in Consuls, in consequence. The exKing of
Dude, with some of his ministry. had been ar
rested for having inStigated the rebellion. The
markets in England for American produce,
were steady. The frigates Susquehanna and
Niagara, with the telegraphic cable on board
had left Liverpool, on the 9th uIt., for Cork

TIRE INTENDING CRISIS OF THE South. =
This is the title of work just issued by Bur
dick Brothers of New York, which is now at
tracing an unusual share Of attention. 1t is
from the pen of HINTON Rowan HELPER, Of
North Carolina, and the author has collected
in volume of some four hundred pages, the
the most compact and Irresistible array of facts
and arguments 10 prove the impoIicy of sla-
very that we remember to have encountered.
He has here collected body of facts and
statistics against the economy, which seem to
US quite as Irresistible as Newtons argument
to prove the universally and terms of the law
of graYitation We have never seen the facts
arrayed with so much power
The statistics embraced ID this work are
overwhelming in their demonstration of the
corrodng and wasting influence Of Slavery,
and yet they are arranged and presented in
such manner as to be lively and interesting in
stead of dry and prosy.
The agent for this County, Z. j. SEIBrRr,
will give our citizens an opportunity of procur-
ing this work, which we recommend them to
embrace, as they will find it both valuable and
interesting.

psy- In our advertising columns will be found

BS7- In our advertising columns will be found
an advertisement from several Philadelphia
houses, to whch#e invite the attentionpf the
business men of Bradford County. g1ears
? lang syne,7 tte 4crchants and ;otherso OF this
section Transacted all their bu$aess In Phila-
delplda. THE building gof the Erie Canal; and
its branches however, gradually drew this
trade=to New York, as being more accessible,
until the merchants of the County, with scarce
ly single exception, had been diverted from
Philadelphia and it had become almost a strange
place. The construction of the North Branch
Canal, and the openngiof a direct Railroad
communication the building of thew iiliun-
sport and Ehfirat Railroad have again chang
ed the facilities of communication, and Phila-
delphia is now more accessible than New erk
to a large portion of Bradford. 81 daa
'' Already our merchants are turning their at
tention to Philadelphia as a market for ppr-
chasing their supplies, although the business
men of that city, apparently have come to
consider Northern Pennsylvania as a terra IN
cognita, whose custom was not worth striving
for We hail this advertisement as an evi-
dence that the Phladelphians are now awak-
ening to a sense Of the wealth of the Nor
thern counties, and are determined to contest
for its trade with New-York
There is certainly no reason why Philadel
pha should not enjoy whatever advantages
there may be in the business of this region
We believe that those Of our merchants, who
have, as matter of curiosity, visited Phila
delphia, consider it "a better place to buy in
than NewYo ork. For many articles, it is de-
cidedly preferable, as it has now become the
greatest manufacturing mart in the country
and supplies to the trade in New-York, many
of the articles in most demand in this region
which passing through many hands, of course
are increased in price before they reach us.

SUICIDE OF SENATOR RUsK-The intelligence
is communicated by telegraph, that Gen. Thos
j. Rusk, the senator from Texas, had commit
ted suicide. No particulars are given, but as
his health has recently been very bad, it is pro-
bable that it was done under depression of
spirits, if not in moment of temporary insar-
ity. Gen. Rusk is identified with the history
OF the state he represented. When Texas was
warning for her independence, his sword aided
her battles. and when it was achieved his coun-
sci was called into rcquisition.

SEICE OF LAWRENCE RAIsED.-Goy. Walk
er, who found it easier to invent excuses for
marching against Lawrence, than for raising
the seige, bas finally hit upon a scheme to
extricate himself from the dilemma He dis
patched himself a messenger to Fort Riley,
and the courier came back to Walker with
dispatches, stating that the fort was threat
ened by Indians and asking aid of Walker,
whereupon he struck his tents and raised the
seige of Lawrence. The whole thing is under
stood as ruse on the part of WALKER to
withdraw gracefully from Lawrence

Reg~ The change in the tone of the "Dea

Ress+ The change in the tone of the "Dead
Rabbit" press, since Gen. PACKERS declina-
ton, is decidedly amusing. Their yapntngS
aud braggadocias have given place to d.sqlsi-
tioas upon the improperly of a joint canvass,
and the usage and customs of the democratic
party 4 few weeks ago and the press of that
party without exception favored the plan of
Joint canvass, and Were evidently striving to
make WILMor the challenging, instead of the
challenged, party. They grew valiant with
their boastings of the ability and eloquence of
their standard-bearer they represented him
as silencing: and overthrowing the Black-Re-
publican candidate, and indulged to their hearts
content in an imaginary brilliant victory.
Mr. WILMoT, being neither moved nor de-
tered by these boastings and eXaggerations,
and having waited until he was satisfied that
Gen PACKER would not fulfill the promises of
himself and friends to invite the discussion, eX-
tended.to his opposing candidate the invita-
ton which has been published As Mr. PACK
ERs committee has decided that he must not
be allowed to meet Mr.. WuMoT, it now be-
comes necessary for those papers which few
weeks before were valiant, to take back their
boastngs and threats and invent excuses for
the cOwardicc and pusillanimity of their candi-
date and his keepers We have specimen
now before us, which is fair sample of the
class 1t is contained in the IHent0irH Demo-
crat The editor in his paper Of July D,
speaking Of an assertion made by a cotempo-
rary that such a challenge has been made in :
dulges in the following harmless gasconade,

iy accept it.
In the meantime, the challenge having been
sent, and declined notwithstanding the positive
assurance from the Democrat that it would be
promptly accepted, that paper finds it nccess-
djgnifcd position it takes We extract from
the issue Of August 5, only two weeks after
the brave display witnessed above =
The letter of Mr. BuckALEw. Chairman of the Commit
tee speaks the sentiments only of the entire Com
mttcc, but think of every who would avoid the
the dire results that might flow from such course. The
Democratic party does not feel inclined to ignore its
tehonored usagcs to detraCt from the proud dgni-
ty she has maintained since her origin, by asking
her candidates for GubenAtora honOr to descend to the
level Of township constable by raversing the State and
personally soliciting votes.
The reader should bear in mind that Gen
PACKER is already advertised to address public
meetings
