Kansas.

As the Cadiz Republican, and some other
black Republican papers take great pleasure oc-
casionally in copying from the Steubenyille I'M
ion, viii they be kind enough to publish the fol-
lowing from that paper of the 10Th inst, VIII
YOU publish it Bro. Hatton? We shall see:-
The recent commotion among the Black Re-
publicans relative to Kansas, occasioned by the
precipitate resignation of Gov. Geary, is likely
to have speedy termination, and without bring
ing them the partisan advantage when they
looked for. The resolutions Of their own lol-
lowers in Kansas, asking for nought but ialI
administration Of the organic act, together Win
the assurance put forth in the official organ o
the Administration that they shall have 1t, and
the known character of the new Governor ioI
fairness, have operated like wet blanket npoI
the efforts again to get up the Kansas exclte'
ment. The people have had their sympathe'
so often excited by these mock pathetic appeals
that they look with suspicion upon anything II
that line. The Connecticut election being over
and the ''shrieks for freedom" not being sum
ciently powerful to prevent the Democracy IRON
gaining two members Of Congress, there VIII b
no occasion for the repetition Of the stale cry To-
some time to come, and we may therefore con
clude that further efforts to revive the bite
sectional animosties will be postponed unit
they are again supposed to be needed to carr.
an election in some other Northern State.
Looking over the whole field, we again say
as We said frequently pending the Presidentia
canvass, that Kansas is certain to become
FREE STATE. Governor Geary himself say
that there are nine Free State settlers in tn
| Territory TO one Slave State man. If ther
were nine Republicans to one Democrat in ou
own county. for instance, and man should as
sert that the Democrats would control the elec
ton to suit themselves, unless restrained b
foreign aid, he would be set down as fool; bu
Just such nonsense as this has been the staple {
Black Republican arguments for the past yea
or two. 1t seems strange that the public min
should have been carried away by them. Br
we rejoice to know that such is not likely to b
the case much longer

Of North eastern Ohio, as the returns from Con

Democrats are in the finest spirits. The New

jOyously out of every paragraph, and its fair

Here are few Of its jubilations:
WAPERBURY, ALI. HAihl-In reviewing the
res ult in this county, Waterbury stands out
prominent, as showing a large gain FOR the real
| Up;0n party. The Democratic ticket has re-
ceiyetl a majority of ll3. This is indeed glo-
rious and beyond expectation. Ii saves the 9th
Senatorial district and the Sheriff Of the coun-
ty.
The Palladium of last evening says, that lea
wing out of the count five or six towns IN Fair
field county, which have given democratic ma
iorities, Ferry is ahcad.'' This reminds us
of the sportsman, who, on being interToSated
as to the quantity Of game he had "bagsed," !" he
replied-"when have shot three birds besides
the one am after, shall have four.
The democrats lose two or three, by fifteen OF
twenty votes? 1t is somewhat provoking
but it cannot be hellcd now. Another year
A the Democrats of Connecticut will sweep Tho
State with a birch broom"
The Courier pretends to know of democrats
who are going over to the abolition side. II that
is really so, it must be from chronic tendency
to remain in Hte minority. There is no account
ing for tastes"
New HAyEN.-The city of Ems takes {
proud position in the Democratic ranks. Sh'
piles up Democratic majority of about $40
and elects two Democrats to the Legislature

souri runians from voting where they ought not
to votc-low back here, registered here, and
voting here as residents of New Haven. But
now that the election is over in Connecticut,
they will GO back to Kansas and vote there, il
they can, and then write home letters complain

The people Of New Haven county have NOT
been unmindful Of all these movements. They
have developed AbOtionism in its true colors
and the more the masses have seen OF 1t, the
more they have distrusted it, and set their faces
against it. All hail, then, we say again, to the

The Flight from. Nazareth.

With characteristic Ineanncss the newspaper
organs of certain faction have scdulously scat
treed silly and absurd statement, emanatng
from the Louisville ,J0urHol, of young girl
who fled from the persecution and tyranny en-
forced at the NGzcreh 1caiemy near Bards-
town, KY to overcome her religious predilec-
ions The whole thing is n fabrication from
beginning to end, except that a very wayward
and headstrong girl by the name OF Miller, was
placed at school there by. her brother, with an
earnest wish to have her retained there if
possible. She was kept under no undue or i'm
proper restraint; nor indeed, any beyond the
kind and parental rules Of the institution. She
was found to be inlispoSeI to study, and unrulr,
and the brother was written to and requested
! to remove her from the school. Since her vol
untary departure no effort has been made by
Mother Francis Gardiner to induce her to re-
turn, nor did she wish to regain her erring pu-
pill
Some of the most distinguished ladies in the
South and West have been educated at NaZa-
reth No effort is spared to improve their Scol-
arship and inculcate elevated morals, without
which accomplishments are vain and empty
hut no restraint whatever is placed over theil
religious tendencies, nor any tamperlng with
the tenets in which they have been educated
We have conversed with those who are familiar
with the school and its government and fin
that the statement Of Miss Miller has no sor
of foundation, and has, no doubt, been draw
from her by political Or religious enemies of tn
Catholic pursuaSion, for selfish sectafian 0
political ends. We say this much, because tn
> statement is still going the rounds Of the ! a
pers, and it is we'll that it's utter falsity shoul
he exposed. Ohio Stgtesman.
