From Kansas..BOrder Ruffians
i'm Motion.

We much apprehend that the election
in Kansas on Monday, Oct. 5tb, will be
marked by outrage and bloodshed. The
Lawrence Herald of Freedom of Sept.
26th, states that small parties are coming
into the Territory on all the public high
ways from Missouri, and are passing to the
Western part of Kansas. Ten covered
wagons were seen one day on the Tecum-
sch road going west, all filled with men,
and none of them loaded with other than
bottles of bad whisky and small quantity
of provisions and camp fixtures, At Ossa-
watomie similar movements are noted
Small parties are coming from Missouri
and spreading over the Territory, their os-
tensible purpose to make settlements, just
as was the case for week or ten days be-
fore election in March, 1855. The Herald
says the appearance of these parties at this
time again looks ominous, and adds-"If
they come here to interfere in our fran
chises, come from where they may, we sim
cerely hope they will never be allowed to
return to their homes alive"

The spasmodic attempts made by the
Dred Scott Democracy to get up "mass-
meetings" throughout the State are uni
versally proving perfect failures. They
''fizzle" in every direction like lot Of dam
aged chinese crackers on wet Fourth of
July. The fact is they find it uphill bu-
siness to carry their freight of Douglas Dred
Scottish through the Campaign, and al
though they are constantly in ahot water"
they connot get up the steam. If any Of
them think they are ''making time" they
will find themselves after election in the
situation of Joe Bunker, who being exceed
ingly Economically drunk at country
tavern four or FIVE miles from home, one
cold winter night, hitched his "old hoss'
into his jumper with the slight omission of
hooking the traces, threw the lines over the
dashboard and pulling his coat collar over
his eyes, and giving "old Nance" lick
with gad told her TO g'lang: Old Nance
went, the lines slipped off the dash board,
and "old Joe" sat there till broad day light,
occasionally giving the dash board lick,
and swearing that 'isome ornery cuss had
been stretching the road as he had been driv-
ing like hi all night, and didn't see as he
was any nearer home than when he start

E Judge Spaulding and Judge War
den addressed large Republican meeting
in Wooster few days ago. The Repmb-
Hcan says the meeting in Wooster was
very large, and adds: "Judge Warden
made one of the ablest, best and most con-
vincing speeches ever made in Wooster
Clear, calm, eloquent and argumentative;
he carried conviction with him at every step;
and we have never seen a meeting more
pleased with an address than WAS the meet
ing of Friday with that of Judge Warden" !"
The Republican says that old "Wayne
is sure to give Governor Chase majority
of three hundred" which will be gain of
some four hundred and fifty over the
vote for Governor Chase two years ago
Good for Old Wayne.

Any Excuse better than None.

It is an old adage that "a poor excuse
is better than none." The Ashland Union
evidently thinks any excuse better than
none, and SO, in its poor attempt to excuse
Gov. Medill for his inexcusable neglect in
allowing the people of Ohio, for nine
months, 10 be entirely without security
from Treasurer Breslin, says that the delay
was owing to the refusal Of Gov. Medill to
approve Breslin's bond. The Union had
better attempt no more excuses if they are
as lame as this one. Medill should beg
his friends to keep their mouths shut, for
verify every time they open them out pops
a blunder. Gov. Medill, for nine months,
allowed Treasurer of State to finger the
peoples money without any bail, but Gov.
Chase, the moment he discovered the least
thing wrong, took the responsibility-fear-
lessly and honestly-seized the keys of the
Treasury, compelled the unfaithful officer
to resign, and held possession, himself, un-
til an honest man had given good bonds,
and was installed as Treasurer.

Only Three Days Left

In which to work for the Republican cause
We appeal to the working Republicans OF
Holmes county, that they improve to the
uttermost this little remaining time before
the election. You have good State and
County ticket. See to it that every Re
publican voter is at the Polls. See that
no illegal voting is done. In a word, work
for the good cause, as you know how to
work. Remember that our opponents are
active, day and night. Every Democratic
vote in the county will be out; and to
make success comeplets, every Republican
voter must do his duty. Go towork at
once, vigorously, earnestly.

The Fort Smelling swindIe.

The St. Paul Minnesotian promises a
rich development touching the Administra-
ton swindle in that vicinity. 1t says:
Early in the next session of Congress a
Committee Of Investigation on the Fort
Smelling operation will be moved by a
Democratic member from one of the States
below. He declares, as we understand,
that he was himself in correspondence with
the Department at Washington respecting
the sale, ready to offer 100000 for the
property. But the first information he
could obtain was that it was already pr;-
vately sold for $4,000
This piece Of Galphinism by Democrat
ic" leaders in this Territory has not its
equal in our history. How much compli-
city there was At Washington, time may
reveal.

~ STAMBAUGH has sent us challenge,
or rather the half of one-he threatens To
whip us. As we are both very busy at
this time, he stumping it for the Locofocos,
and We trying to get Mr.. CHASE elected,
he has kindly deferred the fight until after
the election, It's very hard work to fight
and getting to be considered rather low
therefore We hope Stambaugh will take
some other way of being reyenged on us
Suppose he subscribes for the Republican

We should take the advance pay as an in
dication that the mans money amt al

distinguished speakers didn't come, aud all

Interesting Emigration Move.
ment in Mexico.

The New York Times of Wednesday
morning contains some very interesting in
formation in regard to a movement of the
Mexican Government, to promote emigra-
ton to that country, which may hereafter
be attended with important results both to
that country and our own. A grant has
been made for the establishment of line
of steamers between New Orleans and
Vera Cruz, with compensation for carrying
the mails, and also with an equivalent for
the passage money of emigrants in an al
lowance of duties upon cargoes of goods
that may be imported. The Mexican gov
eminent offers to each emigrant free pas
sage in these steamers, with 25 acres of
land and a lot is designated to be a central
village of each colony that may be thus
established. The emigrant is allowed
three years to refund the passage money
if it is not paid at the end Of that time,
the emigrant engages to pay five per cent
annual interest upon it and the govern
ment takes a mortgage upon the land
which he has received. >-s
The offer is open to emigrants of all
classes; but those who are expected to
avail themselves of it most largely are the
better class of free blacks and mulatees in
the Southern States. Many Of these arc
already possessed of some property, and
are abundantly able to manage business af-
fairs. By going to Mexico, they can still
have the advantages of the same climate
as that to which they have been accustom-
ed, while they will escape from the severe
and uncomfortable Surveillance to which
the existance of slavery at home subjects
them. We are told that several who have
gone from Mississippi into Alvarado, and
engaged in sugar planting, have alleady
accumulated very handsome property,
and are laying the foundation for still
greater success. One of them has recently
sent to the States for supply of machin-
cry.
We believe the grant is at present in
the hands of Mr.. Giocouria, the Cuban
planter, who was exiled for his connection
with the revolutionary movements in that
Island, and who resided in New York for
two or three years afterwards. The South
has for long time been very desirous of
finding some way of disposing of the free
blacks in that section, who are said to be
of very little use at home, while they are
supposed to offer constant excitement to
discomfort among the slaves. 1t is not
impossible that colonization or the kind
proposed, If earnestly and permanently IA
vored by the Mexican government, may be
of essential service to the South in connec-
tion with this question.

NEARLY all the Grand Rallys of the
Slave Democracy, held in the different
counties since the opening of the campaign,
have been Grand Fizzles! In good ma
ny instances they had their meetings ap-
pointed on the same day with Circuses
and Shows, but it was no go. The Shows
attracted most attention, and drew off the
crowd. Even the music of the Caliope,
discordant as it was, proved more attrac-
tive than the tones of the Slave Democra-
cy speakers. The Republican cause is oD-
ward in Ohio.

Let the People Remember

That every man on the Democratic tick
ct mites with Mr.. BUCHANAN In declaring
that slavery exists in Kansas under the
Constitution of the United StatesAand
that it can be abolished there only hs a
State constitution endorsed by Congress.
Let the People Remember
That they also declare that the slave
holder may take his Human Property into
any Territory of the United States under
the protection of the Federal Constitution.
Let the People Remember
That they also declare that if the peo.
pie of any free Territory shall endeavor te
protect themselves from the introduction o
slavery by the Southern propagandists, the
U. s. army shall be brought into requisi.
ton to silence them scith ponder and ball.
Let the People Remember
That they further declare that there can
not be foot of free territory belonging to
the United States except at the option Of
the STAKEHOLDER, inasmuch as it is the doc.
trine of the Dred Scott Decision, and Pre-.
sident BUcHASAs's Silliman letter, that
slavery may be taken into any Territory
under the protection of the Federal Corsti.
ton.
Let the People Remember
That they are also in favor of having
the bogus laws of the bogus Legislature Of
Kansas, elected by Missouri votes, and in
violotion of all legal form and right, en-.
forced by the Government troops at the
point of the 6ayonet!
Let the People Remember,
That the candidates on this ticket are all
in favor of exacting the infamous tax lev
led by Missouri rufians on the people Of
Kansas for the purpose of paying those
ruffians for hunting to death, harrassing
and numbering the free State settlers Of
Kansas. These are pretty fellows to pro-
fess opposition to taxation here.

She Had Them There.

A lady in town chances to be un.
fortunate in the opinion OF some Of
her neighbors. A physician has Of
late been necessitated to visit her
family rather frequently. There be.
ing no hitching. post before the lady
door, the doctor several times tasten,
ed his horse to post in front OF a
neighbor's residence. This he WAS
shortly warned not to do again. So,
when next the Esculupius made his
appearance, he asked the lady, who
was at one Of the windows Of the
house, where he should tie up.'-
Let the horse stand was the prompt
reply, the neighboT's will watch
him for you!' Enough Of those same
neighbors heard the complimentary
remark-we only hope it did them
good. But that's nothing to what
the inhabitants of--weIl suppose We
call it Squeezeville--used to be. We
were there once; only rode through
the town-came again eleven years
after--rode through again, and heard
one chap say to another, "Jest look;
he's got blue snapper On his whip
lash this time"
