for a year, and they likewise agreed to
assist the family, but started them off
without money enough to pay their way.
1t appears that the committee has been
weighed and found wanting" and there
are several of the Rockford men desti-
tute in consequence.
1t is time these transactions were ex-
posed, so that no more persons may be
duped By the conamittcess.o or by those aoAo
are soliciting aid for bleeding Kansas.
I think it my duty to put the whole
matter in a true light before the public,
as the several committees have been
written to repeatedly and no reply.
What are those to do this winter who
now belong to the militia, which will be
disbanded in a short time? What are
the prisoners to do if they have the good
luck to get free from bondage? Can
they get employment? No Can they
go upon claims? No! Will they be
provided for? That is to be seen or
will they be left to shift for themselves
and turn bandits for their support, which
has already been commenced, and which
has been one cause of the difficulties in
the Territory? For instance, the colo
MES from the South were sent in with
the same guarantee as those from the
| North, with the addition of their claims
being paid for when coming into mar
ket; and their committees have also
proved faithless and dishonest. And
| what was the result? Why, they were
forced to rob and plumber for subsist-
ence, and to raise means to get out OF
the Territory, and a war followed with
| Missouri, as she was charged with many
of these crimes.
I will give you one more instance OF
the committees generosity and close
[ procured an old log house for the pur-
pose of storing the baggage belonging
to the men who were held prisoners al
Lecompton. The building had been
vacant all summer, and only used now
and then for a stable by any one who
chose to use it. 1 procured the use
of it from Governor Robinson. The
person L have reference to, wanting the
house to put in horses which belonged
or had belonged to the Aid Society, put
the baggage out Of doors without giving
notice. The baggage contained all o.
their clothing, mechanical tools, &c.
which were thus exposed to the rain and
the light-fngered gentry for five days
before another place could be procured
to store it. If that is the way men in
prison are to be treated, what a any
one expect who comes here trusting tt
the promises o fthese aid societies ? The
above are stubborn facts which [ an
sorry to relate, but nevertheless true
and I hope this will be a warming tt
those who may be interested in Kansas
matters, and who wish to come here a:
settlers.

Tho population ola State, remarks the Chi
ca6o Tribune, can beyery closely estimated
by the vote, cast at well contested election.
The number of inhabitants in the North
western States can be accertained by in
specting the recent vote for President. In
the older Free States, such as New England
where the number of unnaturlized persons is
less than in the west, the ratio OF voters TO
inhabitants will be greater than in States
like Illinois and Wisconsin.
For instance, the general average OF votes
to the population in these States is small
fraction less tLan one in six, though in Ohio
it is about one in five and three-fourths, and
Michigan about the same. The period of res
idence required to obtain full citizenship
is not the same in each of the Western
States. The unnaturalized foreigners OIL
Michigan are fewer than in any other West
ern State, and citizens of other States can
vote OH six months residence. Iowa re-
ouires only six months residence. Illinois
requires year, as does Ohio, and we believe
Indiana. In Wisconsin, uaanotua0lized as wei
as native citizens, can vote after years res
idence.
With these preliminary statements we pro
coed to estimate the number Of people resi-
ding in the Northwest on the 4th of Novem

SUsPENsIoN.-Piercc Butler, Esq, a heavy
capitalist of Philadelphia, most known to the
world as the husband of Fanny Kemble But
Ter, suspended payment on Thursday. Tie
has been large dealer in Stocks for some
time past. The Philadelphia Ledger of Fri
day says
One or two small failures have been re-
ported at New York, as the result of Mr..
Little's failure, and one is reported here,
though not in any way connected with the
failure of the great bear of New York. The
failure of the gentleman alluded to- of this
city, we are glad to be informed, is not likely
to be more than temporary suspension, his
immensely valuable real property greatly ex-
ceeding his liabilities, which we are told,
grow out of unproductive, if not inudicious
speculations in undeveloped coal lands, coal
companies, &c.
