Kansas.

The Philadelphia North Anecrican, a
Republican paper, speak ks as follows of
the reported intention Of the ultras of
its party in Kansas to refuse to vote.
The perverse and pornicious policy OF
the Abolitionists is the Gully thing that
can delay its admission as a free State
at an carly day. Earnest and honest
men perceive the fact, and the faction
lists are being hourly repudiatcd
"In consequence of the opinion given
by Judge Cato, and the obvious inten-
ton Of the party having possession of
the election officers, it is now said that
the free State men will refuse to vote.
We trust that this may not prove true.
The taxes in dispute are scarcely worth
the sacrifice meditated to avoid their
payment. 1t is time thatthc do-nothing
policy was abandoned in Kansas, and
that the majority acknowledged on all
hands to be overwhelming in favor of a
free State, should assert its power in
the Legitimate way Of an electoral tri-
umph at the polls"
The Abolitionists will not consent to
make Kansas a free State in this peace
able and constitutional way. In Ohio
the organs are prating about more
"specks of war;" and evidently devoutly
wishing another outbreak no matter
what the consequences may be.

The New York Express, in noticing
the suggestion of the New York Il Time
and the New York Times that the Flu

cause in some sections of the North it
is difficult to execute, says:
Suppose the South says, now, the

burg, Miss, or touch in Virginia or
Kentucky-what then? The Constitu-
ton is compact as a whole, or it is no
compact at all. The public opinion
against the Fugitive Slave Law in the
North is made by Journals like the
Times and IIiJnac-and here advantage
is taken OF their wrong, act to Justify a
violation of public faith, as well as to

The Fusion Defcnce of Gibson.

The PaiadeaZe' says, we have,
through the kindness of friends in CO.
lumbua received the proof sheets of the
report on the Treasury Defalcation, and
shall give it in our columns to-day and
throws any additional Hight upon the
transactions lin our State financial
affairs, which have been so disastrous to
the people, and SO disgraceful to the
State. No new facts are by the report
made public. The problems to be
solved by the Auditor of State and the
Commissioners are still unriddled. Want
of time, and want OF power to send for
persons and papers, are given as apollo
gies for the meagcrness Of Tie infoTma-
ton given. They do, OF course, give us
columns of figures, SLOWING the stats of
the Treasury by the books and %reiter-
ate what has already been made public
for months, the amount of the deficit
S574,112,9G, and the: fact that twice
during the past year, while Gibson was
Treasurer, the money had been in the
Treasury. The manner in which Glib
son has put money in the Treasury, and
presto, changed it to other repositories,
docs not reflect any credit upon the
other State officers, but does furnish one
Of the most striking arguments in favor
of the adoption of a Jew system for a
better protection Of the Treasury.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing
new in the report. Gibson has sworn
now that all his former testimony under
oath was false. Who will believe a word
of such a perjurer? His case merits
the pity and contempt of all honest men.
The committee without any testimony
of greater weight than that furnished by
Gibson have declared their opinion that
Breslin was the defaulter and Gibson
the concealer of it. They cannot holp
fully asserting that the two Treasurer
were unworthy of the posts they occu-
pied. The Democratic State Conven-
ton with a high and firm resolve fepu-
dated them both as unworthy not only
of confidence but of liberty outside of
the Penitentiary. Democrats have no
defence to make of Breslin, his conduct
has put him beyond the pale Of sympa-.
thy. If Republicans desire to defend
Gibson, they will have their hands full.
The attempt to defend him will be as
vain as that OF the Committee has been.

The Ohio Fatr:ot says: Have the
Black Republicans lost their senses ?
Are they candidates for the Lunatic
Asylum ? Would straight jackets be
their appropriate garments? Any man
whe can read and has made himself ac-
quainted with the robbery of the State
Treasury by Black Republicans, and
the efforts which are now making with
their party to shield the robbers from
the consequences of their guilt will an
swer these heterogeneous in the affirm
ative. E--t tt
The treasury has been robbed, that
is a fixed fact-it was robbed by Black
Republicans, that fact is equally fixed.
Gibson swore that he received from
Breslin, the whole amount due the State
from Breslin, except two hundred and
odd thousand dollars that had been de-
posted in Banks and stolen by them,
for which he gave receipts that are now
on record in the Treasurer's Office. The
wire-workers of the party.called upon
Gibson, say, "Why Gibson, this will
never do-the locofocos will take advan-
tage of this and blow US higher than a
kite, can't you make it appear that
Breslin was the thief?' 81 think /
can. 1 will tell the people that my
kindness of heart led me into some
little errors-that I have not got the
State funds, and that I am invoking
divine aid to sustain me under the load
of calumny which I will have to bear"
Then the whole Black Republican press
raised the hue and cry that Breslin
stole the money and that Gibson was an
honest, upright man, and had fallen a
victim T" to his kindness of heart They
were not yet quite out of the bushes
as Wright, the Black Republican State
Auditor under his official oath, said
that the money was all in treasury when
Gibson took possession of the State
funds and that "hc had. counted Hr'
Here was another pretty kettle of fish.
He was told by the great men Of the
party, that he must swear out of that,
for if he did net they would be knocked
into a cooked hat. Accordingly %hen
the Grand Jury was investigating uiG-
stealing, Wright was examined as
a witness and swore that he had not
counted the money, and did not know
whether it was in the treasury or not.
The party was relieved a second time,
and the yelpors yelped again, Breslin
is the thief and Gibson is a prosecuted
man. They were not yet out of the
woods. A committee Of investigation
was appointed and Gibson himself ex-
amined as a witness and this "uprigAt+

The only hope that the Black Re
publicans have remaining of retaining
power, is their belief in the guilt
of the people, as they look upon
hem as too ignorant to read and under
stand the record Of their crimes.

The Editor Of the C@pnaerctaI, whose

There is nothing at issue in the

are not very much mistaken, party lead

up, and at this present writing, we really
cannot prevail upon ourselves to care
very much which wins"

disgust with which the Republicans
have filed the most able Of their former
supporters. But we like the hearty in
dignation of a correspondent of the

Mr.. Buchanan was elected six months

serious charge; has entered upon the du-
Ties of his Office; published his Inau2u-

Of mankind" but has never yet, in all
that time, uttered a single syllable in
favor Of the reduction Ola laborcr's wa

whether he has not been deceived; and
