STATE AID FOR KANSAS.
A Committee of tSe Massachusetts, Legislature
il considering the cOnstitutionaity expediency, aud
propriety of appropriatng sum Of money for the
protection or relief of the citizens Of this State ia
Kansas. When We remember that the Free State
men have made the name of Yankee-once despised
or synoDyne for coward in every slayehoding com.
munity-a word Of terror TO the champions Of the
South, it will be very ungrateiu to say the least OF
It, for Massachusetts, to hesitate to recognize their
claims to protection from her as State, If the Ma
tonal Government acts in future as il has hitherto
acted. If the money proposed to be appropriated
is not needed, it will not be drawn. Massachusetts,
in all probability, will never be required to pay cae
dollar; but il is no less her duty to offer aid, If as
sistance shall be required by her exlled citizens.
Robinson and Daniels were before the Committee
on Saturday. All the members. with one excep-
ton, favored the appropriation; one doubted the
cOnstitutionality of such grant, although, he
said he would otherwise be in favor of granting one
Robinson earnestly urged an appropriation. twill

people will veto him in return.
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM KANSAS.
LAWRENCE, Jan. 10, 1So7.-' l
will try to keep You posted on the true state OF
affairs here, for everything seems to conspire in be-
Jogging them. You know that One-haf of those who
write from Kansas are but poorly qualified to judge
a.. l.~- No Of
wel-mesning nonsense has been written recently
bv Free.State men, and Geary, il is said, and not
without cause, has not scruped to hire eulogists
and pay for pafs by the dozen. He is playing
Won t-you-wak.nt0- my -parl0r game-hy and spl-
der. YOU know; but "it can't be dd'-the Free
State fly is too wide awake for Spider Geary.
The Herald of Freedom is getting on swimmingly,
but it is doing mischief as well as good; it is re-
gsrded East as the organ of the Squatters, whereas
Il is no more the organ of the FreeStste party than
Greeeys paper is the organ of President Pierce or
Jeff. Davis. He says it is the organ of his own
independent mind if it isn't that, which begin
TO doubt, it is the mOuthpece of Gov. Geary. The
vay il pufs him is enough to sicken q horse, and
two or three Indian ponies thrown in.
Geary is great on CAB. He talked 1t DIS and
R-f over and Brown, too, and is nearly as sue
cessful with moderate Pro-Slavery men. You will
notice that THE N. Y. TRIBrNE's correspondent,
and one OF two other Of your friends who are be-
hind the scenes are silent amid all these hymns OF
praise, and don't offer up any fatted paragraphs
to the 'Omnipresent, OmnlpOtent Lord Cd
Geary.' as you prOtanely christened him when he
told YOU that two Free-State men could not cross
the prairies together without his knowing their des-
tnation, and that even their very thoughts We're
known 10 him-when, as h. said so, he didn't know
you had brought in wagon loads OF arms and ammll.
milton. accompanied BY several companies OF armed
men. They shout, 'Geary is with us;
who can be against us ? Well, hope Geary IS
with us: and don't doubt he viii be withsls, for
he is an ambitious politician, and we have the ma.
iorty But would like to see him do the first
thing that looked as if he was with us. Just look
at what his Eastern toadits claim he has done.
GEARYs SERVICES TO FREE KANSAS REVIEWED.
Il. They cay he drove back an invasion. say
be brought il up with him, and we wish to God he
had kept away few hours longer. Capt. Brown
was with us, and il they had attacked Lawrence
nine-tenths of them would have been III toeraoly
warm place (by all accounts) before this time. Al
though they Outnumbered us, they were afraid TO
attack us. We had shelter, they would have been
obliged to ride over open prairie. In trying to
do il, they would have got free passes to h via
Lawrence Yes, Sir!
III. They say he dismissed Lecompte. 1t was
quarrel between two sef-willed aristOcrats, in
which our feelings and interests were never once
thought OF.
lii. They say he psrdoned the prisoners. He
hasn't done that yet; but if he had. the rascal
would only have liberated men who were imprls-
oned by his perfdy. They attacked Hickory Point
ON the recommendation of Geary's confidential
friend, who they supposed, spoke in Geary's name.
After acting on it, he sent troops after them, and
imprisoned them-letting the inrGderS 90 while cap
turing the settlers of the Territory.
"IV. They say he employed Free-State men as
militia. Well, he employed Titus as well as
Walker; but be paid Titus and his rlgamufiins,
while he has not yet paid Walker and bis men.
That's all tn difference.
A CONSPIRACY on FOOT.
$50 it is Of everything he has doue. Analyze
them and you will find he has done-0 He is try
ing to d. less than that for us, by breaking up the
Free-State organization. A few OF koDnsons
personal enemies are abetting him in this cOnspir-
acy Stop till Rob. comes back aud you will hear
OF a small earthquake. He won't let that thing be
hatcbed ouietlv His course has been misrepre
sruted here; but it only needs half hours expla-
nation from him at public meeting to make him
again the most powerful institution in the Territory.
"Gea.y Is trying to accomplish two thngs-to get
for the Democracy the credit Of making Kansas
Free State and to get for himself seat 10 the United
States senate. Don't he wish he may get it If
he will work for us We will pay him as we would
,ny other man who works for consideration; but
seat in the Senate NO, Sir, you can't have that
| bv long shot, Mr. Geary
- II fear few of the Free-State men will

teeth cut Yet. OF course they will be overpowered
