ANOTHER RooRBACK NAILED.
To TIE Editor ofMe Herald of Freedom:

To The Editor ofhe Herald Of Freedom:
The charge against me in your paper
Of the 9Th of November, is fales. have
not seen Old Brown bnt once within the
last two years, and that. occasion was
more than year ago. he called at my
Office in the Fall of 1858. and asked me
to allow him to deposit with me, for
safe keeping. certain papers connected
with the business Of the Kansas Relief
Committee Of 1856. This request /
complied with, as a matter Of course.
The papers he left with me are now in
my possession. They consist Of promis-
sorry notes. given by different individuals
in Kansas, to the Relief Committee, for
clothing. provisions. &c, furnished to
them by that COMMITTEES. 1t is not true,
as stated, that no stopped" at my house
when in Lawrence. iaeog. last summer."
l did not see him last summer, and do
not suppose he was in Lawrence at all at
that time. When he came to Lawrence
in the Fall OF SO. he put up at the hotel
Of Mrs. Killam. next door to the office OF
the Herald Of Freedom. without any at
tempt at concealment. which was appar-
ent to me. He remained at my office
only long enough to dispose Of his bust
ness; and although invited him to dine
with me before he left the town. he declin-
ell the invitation. l had no knowledge
Of any Of Old Browns plans. either in
Kansas or ont Of it. He WAS a man Of
discernment and canton, and / presume
took care to reveal his enterprises only
to such as would be likely to unite with
him in their execution.
In conclusion. think It proper to say
that l make this explanation from no
considerations whatever personal to my
self; but only because I deem it due to
the Republican party. of which / am at
present a candidate and representative.
Very respectfully yours.
NJ. F. CONWAY.

Ohio in Kansas.

A resident of Kansas, who has been
conversant with Ohio politics for the past
twenty years. will find such similarity
between the old stagers there aud the pre-
sent political characters here, that he will
almost be led to imagine that the Ohio
of other days has been transferred to
Kansas.
Here we have Sam. MedAry, for TWEEN
ty years the chief liar and BLACKBOARD Of
Ohio, who slandered and abused Henry
Clay and Gen. Harrison worse than any
other men were ever slsndered and abus-
ed-now he is running for Governor. on
the Democratic ticket-a ticket whose
chief supporters are those who profess to
have been Henry Clay Wings. OF
course. he brings with him his young
Sans, his Blairs, and oil his other Ohio
dependents.
Here we have Saunders W. Johnston.
covered up somewhere in the dust Of the
late battIs-an Ohio politician. who
"stumped the State for Buchanan :"
Here is NJ. J. Parrot. formerly men,
Der of the Ohio Legislature; AMI John
P. Slough. ditto. and ''shoulder-hitter"
in that body; and Bob Mitchell, one
horse politician from Newark; and a
host Of still lesser lights.
Here we have that "fallen angel. -
Wilson Shannon. OF whom it was sung.
nearly twenty years agone:
'oh. wilpsn Shannon will get tsnnin'
Prom Tom the Wagon Boy"
Then, there is Col. John G. Vaughan,
who, as editor OF the Cincinnati Gazette,
in former days. probably welded great
er influence than any other man in the
West; he is now stumping Kansas for
the Republican cause. And there is Tom
Ewing. Jr., candidate for Chief Justice.
son of old Salt Boiler Tom, Of Ohio,
who marshalled the Wing forces to bat
tie, in former years.
We have Rees, of Franklin County.
formerly editor Of the Greenville Journal,
who was a member of the Leavenworth
Constitutional Convention and james
Hanway, also from Dsrke County, a
member Of the Wysndotte Convention ;
and P B. Plamb. of the Emporia News.
formerly of the Xenia News and R.
McBrstney, Of Atchison, formerly Of the
Xenia Torch-Light, who would not sup
port Taylor for the Presidency, although
he has since supported worse men.
More than half of the candidates on
both the Republican and Democratic
State tickets, are Ohioans ; and among
the rank and file there are thousands from
thesame State. Kansas must be a sprout
of Ohio, which, having been stuck into
the rich prairie ground west of the Mis-
souri,, has taken root, and, in growth and
politics, is initiating the parent stock.

board of councilmen power ITO prevent

Have the city fathers copy of the

such an assemblage of slaves takes place,
