The DestitutiOn of Kansas.

~ The cry for relief from the star
wing thousands of Kansas comes in tones
Of increased urgency. Much is being
done by generous hearts at the North,
but nothing in comparison to what is
wanting 1t must be remembered that
local relief cannot come to the people of
the territory before next harvest, and
that until that time thousands Of emacia-
ted hands must be stretched out, implor-
ing help. Will our citizens stand idly
by, with their gamers full of grain, and
not offer mouthful to the starving ?
Will Buchanan County refuse to give OF
its great surplus to those who have moth
ing? We hope not. We hope some
one will move in this matter and we are
sure that our people will respond hber-
ally.
A friend. Mr. Pickett, of Blackhawk
Co., permits US to make the following
extract from private letter received
from friend in Kansas. The writer he
cheerfully endorses as man of truth
and integrity. Some indication of the
restitution among the people Of the ter
ritorv can be derived from this letter
ALLEN CREEK, Kansas,
Nov. llth, 1860.
Mr.. T. G. PUcKETT, Dear sir Your
favor of October 28th. was duly recei,
we'd. You speak of the good crops in
Iowa, which brought up the drouth, and
the consequent failure of crops in Kan
sas, more forcible than ever. You ask
me to tell you the truth about this mat
ter, and will do it; but God alone
knows how much of sorrow and despair
that truth has already cost some Of the
people of Kansas.
AS you are aware, last fall and winter
were very dry here this spring, sum-
mer, and fall have been no belter--the
farmers say still worse. The ground for
spring crops was broken up, cross plant
ed, and the farmers waited for rain, call
ing TO mind that passage of scripture
which says that, " A Paul may plant and
an Appolos water, but God gvelh the IN
crease" Paul planted and the women
waiered their garden stuff-but the 9TH
er partner failed to comply with the de-
mand of the people, AID the result is the
entire restitution of the farmers of Kan
sas. You as well as myself know that
the surplus Of grain from last years corp
was barely sufficient to last till this year S
crop rpened. Many of the people of
Kansas will starve to death before spring
unless aid is rendered by the people OF
the States. One woman on Cottonwood
starved to death, another, Mrs. Lewis,
of Fremont. with seven children, went
two days and nights without anything to
eat. One of our neighbors Mr.. Black
is now about to suffer unless the people
divide with him. The rest are little

SOUND ADVICE.

The Wilmington Herald Of the 22l, anticipating
the Democratic spit at Baltimore, offers the following
sound advice for their consideration.
In case such should be the result Of the
Baltimore Convention, land we Cannot pos
sibly see how il can be otherwise. , the ques-
ton naturally arises. what will become Of
the two sections which are so iJeconcilably
divided. Il would be folly to nominate two
candidates. for they would be power!ess. and
would Just add tower Of strength to the
Black Republican party Of the North.

hendrd from abolition agitation, we ask, then,

been written by the Governor for all know,
as it once appeared in the editorial columns
Of that sheet. and il appears that he has been
contributing editorial matter for it. But
here is The extract:
!" But the great injustice Of this ad yaiorem
system lies in the fact that all property would
be taxed according to value. Luxuries and
vices wonld be taxed as high. according to
value, and no higher than necessaries. For
instance public billiard table worth $500
is now taxed sl25-whle a private table is
taxed S25. Yet tract Of Land worth $500
is only taxed one dollar"
would very much like 10 know who pro-
poses to take this tax off Of the public Billiard
tables? Don't any one, with an ounce OF sense,
see that under an al yalorem tax this great
vice, which so much alarms the Governor,
will be taxed still hgheri Why, Billiard
Table worth $500. will have to pay tax up
on its salqe.as property, and then the State
will license lis pubic use, charging for said Il.

Republicans, with the view Of defeating
them. aud thus bring back to our Govern
