The steamer Telegraph brings back from
Canada on every trip families Of negroes
who have formerly fed to the provinces
from the States. They describe the life
and condition Of the blacks in Canada as
miserable in the extreme. They are
principally from Canada West. Ohio
and Michigan are likely to have large
accessions to their negro population from
that source. The Canadians have shown
a disposition in their parliament and ev-
cry day transactions to discourage the
negro population coming to or remaining
in the provinces levelaHd PlaiRdealer.

RIcHKsT OF AL The 1900 names
on the bogus poll list Of johnson Coua-

bodily from Cincinnati Directory, name
for name. in alphabetical rotation, as they
appeared in the Directory. The perpetra-
tors coFied until they had the required
number of votes. then stopped, without
getting quarter through the alphabet
Was there ever another election, where it
so Happened that all the voters whose
names commenced with A, offered their
vote first ; then;those commencing with
b, and SO on and where all the names
commenced with the first few letters of
the alphabet only?
And yet Judge Cato issued manda-
mus, to compel the Governor and Secre-
tary TO give certificates to those who
claim to be elected by these votes ! 1t
would be amusing to look over that list,
and find some Of the hottest anti-slavery
men in Cincinnati, recorded as having
voted the Pro-Slavery ticket! 1t would
have been just the same, had these fell
lows made up their list from the cata-
logues Of Penitentiarics and Lunatic Asy-
lums-Cato would have issued his man
damus, to compel their acceptance by the
Governor and Secretary!

~ In another column we publish m
able article from the Louisville Journal,
on Kansas affairs. But we see that the
editor has fallen into the erroneous idea,
or makes the statement for political effect,
that all the Democratic candidates, at the
recent election, were Free State men,
pledged to make Kansas free; and that
If they had succeeded, Kansas would have
been given up as Free State. The con-
trary is the fact. The Democratic candi-
dates throughout the Territory, with
scarcely an exception, were Slavery
men, known to be in favor of the admis-
sion of Kansas as Slave State; and
had that party succeeded, it would have
been considered as an Endorsement of the
Slavery party, bogus laws, Consti-
tutional Convention, and all and the
Convention would have taken it as per-
nit for them to make Pro-Slavery Con-
stitution, without further ceremony.

BANKS AND BRoKens.-In the pres

BANKS AND BRoKsRs.-In the present
arrangement Of banks, the brokers have
been less fortunate than common, in ma
king speculation. In most cases where
a broker presents himself at bank, with
bills, to demand the specie. the citizens
collect, with tar, feathers and rails, or
with eggs, and give him notice to quit,
which notice is generally complied with.
Thus tho banks get clear of run. with
ont using any unlawful means to do so :;
although they are no doubt secretly at the
bottom of the proceedings. We hold
this mode Of treating the brokers, in such
emergencies, to be perfectly justi6able,
although we are not in favor of mob law.
The brokers, to be sure, have a legal right
to demand specie for their bills. and the
banks are bound to pay it; and there should
be no interference in the matter, If it con-
cerned only them. But when bank is
compelled to suspend, under a run, it is
notthe bankers nor the brokers who lose
by it, but generally poor people The
money sharks look out for number one,
but the laboring classes are compelled to
lose their money, or sacrifice great por-
ton of tit is bought up by the brokers,
for mere trihe, and they make a speeu-
lation on it. Nine-tenths of the bank
failures or suspensions are caused by the
brokers-they make regular business of
running on banks. in,ordcr 70 reap har-
vest therefrom. The people are the losers
in the operation, and it is no more than
right for them to take measures for their
own protection--and this new method of
getting rid of the brokers, appears to be
the most effectual one yet adopted.

LEcoMPToN. Oct, 2lst, 1857.
GENTLEMES:-We have received your
communication of this date, inviting Us
to remove to the city of Lawrence, and
offering your protection against personal
violence. which you suppose has been
threatened by certain persons in Lecomp-
ton.
1t is quite true, gentlemen, that the
evening succeeding our reception Of the
Oxford returns, a small meeting here Of
fifteen or twenty persons, denounced our
course, in connection with the Admins
tration of affairs in Kansas; but no threats
of personal violence were made, as far as
we have learned, and we entertain no APP
2rehensions Of that nature. Even if such
menaces had been made, our official duty
requires our presence now at Lecompton,
and no hazard of personal consequence
would deter MS from remaining here.
Whilst, therefore, we must decline
your invitation to remove to Lawrence,
we tender you our sincere thanks for yonr
hospitalities SO kindly profered. We
thank you also, gentlemen, for the ap-
probation you have been pleased to ex-
press, of our course in regard to the ex-
traordinary returns, as they are called, J
from Oxford. From our first inspection
of that document, we never doubted or
hesitated as to its rejection. But besides
the intrinsic evidence on the face of the
paper itself, we deemed it our duty, by a
visit to that precinct, to ascertain the
facts which are set forth in our proclsma-
ton of the 10Th inst. From the period
of our entrance into this Territory, it has
been our determination, SO far as within
our power, to enable the people ofKan-
sas, in the true meaning of the Organic
law, to control their own Government;
and to this policy we shall continue stead
lastly to adhere. Influenced by these
considerations, we have rejected the spu-
rious and illegal returns from MCGEE
county as well as from Oxford. Accept,
gentlemen, most sincere assurance of the
respectful consideration Of your fellow
citizens,
