EDS. LEAvENwoRTH JoURNAL.-DEAR
SIRs:-As | see from the journal that you
seek in your journal to advocate those
principles that should guide every man
who is citizen of this great Republic
principles of justice and truth and see-
ing, also, in the number just received, an
account of the robbery of citizen, of an.
other State, of his property by lawless
mob Of the city of Leavenworth, thought
would write to you and ascertain if it
was possible to induce one of the parties
In this base transaction to enlist his sym-
pathles in a case of some moment to him
i alluds to Champion Vaughan, Esq.
When John c. Vaughan, ESQ.,, left
south Carolina, many years since, he sold
MS or his wife's negroes. There remained
one, who had been an old family servant,
who was not sold. As long as she was
able to support herself, and earn some
thing more, her wages were sent to her
master-J. c. Vaughan. As the infirm-
tiles OF age crept on, her mind having
oeen injured, she became unable to sup
port herself. Mr.. V. was written to when
ne lived In Ohio, on the subject, with
request that he would provide for her
support. He answered one of those letters
lirom the clerk of the Commissioners of
tne Poor for his district,) requesting him
to ascertain what she could be taken care
OF for The principal of the State Lu.
matte Asylum agreed to take her into the
institution at the low price of one hundred
dollars per year. Mr.. V. was informed M
the offer, but refused to aoswer anv more
letters respecting the poor unfortunate
OLD woman. She is now in this town. a
lunatic, and supported by prblic charity
Ana tboa. were it not for the lind feelings Of
.nOse u ',Hsun,an naOns!.srs" shareholders,
por.S poU. ola Scylla would, long ere this, have
pohi po,iIneu with ccOld and hunger; while her
G'e .s.;u mast sr was in the North West ex-
noI1S ~h the powers Of his mind to rally q
1le band of warriors around the banner
Of liberty.
II there remains one spark of feeling in
MS breast for suffering humanity, in the
name OF God, in the name of Justice, in
the name of all that makes life dear, yes.
In the name of this poor, suffering old
woman, let him learn the first principles
Of the party to which he belongs, and
exercise some feeling of humanity to one
VINO spent all her best days in his service,
and now, trembling on the verge Of the
grave, has to look for crust of bread or
shelter from the storm, from those who
never received one cent from her Oh,
consistency thou art jewel.

aca"' see the said j. C. Vaughan is spo-
, ASH OF as one of the great men of the Re-
publican party-as having been born and
rSlsed y in South Carolina, at the feet of ].
" calhoun: Ny dear sirs, it is doubtful
~netherJ. c. Calhoun ever knew that such
OelIg asVaughan lived in South Carolina
=; Las his position was not such as to bring
Ai1n MI IN contact with men of that stamp.
"nen he comes and takes care of, or
pUvldes p0ov for the support of this poor old
~ U, tnen, and not until then, can those
III. H know hin. believe he is honest in his
f''cal sentiments. Very respectfully
