A Mares EeSt.

i1eTutU, IN lACe lSSUcJ MA bonSn-
ton article, headed Startling De-
velopments!" |" The we'll known fac
ulty of the person who conducts that
sheet for the discovery Of interesting
specimens of those rarG avis in natu-
raj history known as " mares nests"
induced us to examine it attentively,
with a view OF seeing whCt kiadA Of
eggs he had obtained. AS usual with
BRowN, we found them added and
musty. TO throw aside the meta
phor and come down to the fact, we
found the article so headed contained
q couple Of letters, one from Judge
CONWAY; the other from Gen. WHIT
MAN to some friend in Boston, appa-
rently in answer to others addressed
to them, asking the aid Of some funds
to help in the canvass for the Leav-
enworth Constitution. G.. w. BRowN
affects q great deal Of virtuous indig-
nation at such conduct. The real Sc
cret Of his anger consists in the fact
that both gentlemen INDUCED in some
sharp and pointed structures on the
Sinuous course pursued by the Z" sub.
terranean" wing Of the Free State
party. Judge CONWAY, in the last
number OF the Republican, replies ia
the article in q clear and forcible man
ner, giving his reasons for applying
for aid, which he only did at the
earnest solicitation, as to how the
Free State men could be helped, o.
snch men as GEo. l.. SrEARNs and 9th
ers Of Boston. He states explicitly
how much money was sent, and when
it was received. 1t came too late to
be used in the canvass for the Leaven
worth Constitution, and is now at tn,
disposal Of AlessrS, CONWAY ant
WHITMAN, to be used as their judg
ment shall dictate. The precocity o
the editor of the Herald, was in &C
cordance with his usual meannesS o
character. We extract the followin!
closing paragraphs of Judge Con
WAYS letter to the Republican. They
are pointed and terse and dcmolisl
completely the fabric reared by thu
Herald man:
"This proceeding of getting money
from Boston, | desire to say, was no
entered into by me as anything covert
which | would seek to hide from th'
public gaze, notwithstanding the ed
itor of the Herald of Freedom is pleased
to characterize its publication as
startling development" l woul'
have that gentleman understand tina
do nothing in connection with Kan
zas politics which | would hesitate
to open to the world at MONDAY
however much their development
might be calculated to startle'
person of his very tastidious nature
1t will be noticed that although h,
publishes these letters as o startling
development" he states at the SAM
time, that they were printed in cir
cular form and distributed among
the friends of Kanzas in Boston, anC
were in the hands of a number of 9th
or persons in this Territory
"Our struggle in Kanzas has been
from the start, a contest to decide th'
future predominance Of the Free Stat,
party or the Slave State party through
out the country; The people in tn
States have, therefore, beenas deeply
interested in it as we ourselves hav,
been. The politics of Kanzas hav'
been no more Kanzas politics thar
they have been Massachusetts politics
no more Kanzas and Massachusstt
politics than they have been the pol
/ itics of South Carolina. In fact
Kanzas has been for nearly four year
the centre Of our national politics.
How absurd, then, it is to talk of tn
contribution OF funds to Manzas b.
people in Boston, as on outrageou
attempt to control our affairs! ! be
lieve that large sums Of money wer
taised in various parts Of the Soutl
ro establish newspapers in Kanzas
and / know that large sum wa
raised in tho North to set up the Her
aid of Freedom. All the control 0
the political affairs Of Kanzas' exerte'
by Mr.. BnowN, (Which, according +
his own showing, has been no tribe,
has been q control effected througl
the Influences OF Eastern money. g.
