Slow AND SURE.-We may learn some
thing from our German citizens They
thrive on the same income that Yankee
would starvo on. We know young Ger
man, whose capital, when he landed on our
shores, consisted of singualarly construct
ed suit Of blue clothes and long tailed pipe
Yet, in five years he had house and lot,
money at intrest, wife and two babies
and quantity of bliss and pickeled cab
bage. during most of the time our meritor::-
oUs friend received salary of six dollars a
week. A Yankee might have received five
times that sum and come out head over
heels in debt. the fact is. Germans have
very sensible notions of life They are
not very fast. They drink beer, and smoke
pipes with astonishing long stems, but they
are not addicted to calling on multitude
nous baskets of expensive Heidsick They
are industrious and economical They
know how to lay up something for a rainy
day, which is a great deal more than some
Americans know. Many Americans seem
to think that they will have no difficulty
IN borrowing umbrellas when the financial
rainy day comes, but they ascertain their
mistake when the time arrives, and are of
ten compelled to seek shelter in the poor
house or 60 and live with their PARENTS
Meanwhile cur Teutonic goes plea sanity
ahead, raising garden sauce and babies,
and constantly waxing richer, fatter and
Jolller. We repeat, that we may learn
something from our German citizens

THE FAMINE IN KANSAS.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
MADISON. Wis, Nov. %, go.
Since the issue of my proclamation for
the Annual Thanksgiving, calling upon YOU.
blessed in remarkable degree this year
with an abundance of the fruits of the
earth, to render thanks to the Bountiful
Giver. the details have come to US of des-
titution and suffering in another portion of
our country, where the rains have not fall
len, and the pa1ched earth has borne no
crops. In the midst of our abundance, it
is very difficult to realize the fact that but
few hundred miles from US, not less than
thirty or forty thousand of our fellow beings
are at this moment suffering greatly from
the total failure of their crops, Such a
startling fact needs but to be brought to
the knowledge of a people who are over
flowing with abundance, to cause speedy
help to be sent to the needy.
Citizens Of Wisconsin the destitute,
starving condition of thousands of the set
tiers of Kansas is TERRIBLE fact, thor
oughly attested. Immediate and liberal
contributions of money, to buy provisions
and clothing and pay freights on donations
forwarded, and of grain, -four, and provl-
sions Of every kind, are imperatively need
ed TO save the lives of men, women and
children who have literally nothing to eat,
and nothing to sell, to raise means for the
purpose Of food or clothing. In no better
way can you exhibit your thankfulness for
blessings conferred by Providence than by
showing love and charity to the needy.
AS the Executive of this State, I urge
that wherever Relief Committees have not
been already formed action, to that end be
taken at once. Contributions of provisions
may be sent forward, in many cases free,
on all the public thoronghfares and should
be marked kansas Relief, and addressed
to "Genl S. c. Pomeroy, Atchison, Kan.
sas." Money is much needed to pay
ireights on contributions now going for
ward, and may either be forwarded by 10
cal committees, or direct Gin drafts where
practicable) to the order Of Gen'l Pome
roy, as above. Whatever is done should
be done speedily for the lives of thous
ands of our fellow beings are Dependent
upon our charity and love-

The First Meetine of lincoln ana z

The First Meeting of Lincoln and Han1lin
The coming together of the next Presi-
dent and Vice President yesterday at the
fremont House, was the first time these
two future ''heads of the Nation" were
ever formally introduced They had
known each other merely as passing ac-
quaintances" while in Congress, years ago.
but were then political apponents,-the one
Wing, the other Democrat.
But now they meet for the first time as
friends, personally and politically. This is
a remarkable Incident especially since, on
meeting under the present extraordinary
circumstances, they find that they indeed
''be brethren '-sympathizing with each
other fully and cordially in spirit and SEN
timent. They are both men Of the people,
both spiritedly patriotic-both truly con-
sentative. devoted to the great interests of
the country, and fully sensible of the
mighty weight of responsibility that rests
upon them for the future.
Another remarkable fact connected with
these gentlemen is, that the high honors
that have been conferred upon them, came
entirely unexpectedly. Mr.. Lincoln had
no expectation of being nominated for the
Presidency before he was actually nomina-
ted and Mr.. Hamlin never dreamed of be-
ing nominated for Vice President before
the fact of his nomination was announced
to him by telegraph, after he was oh sen.
1t must be i'll the highest degree gratifying
to both, that they have been taken up and
elected to the highest Offices in the Govern
ment, by the spontaneous action of
the people, without an effort, or even an
aspiration of their own-and it Is most
proper that their first meeting since their
election should be here in Chicago where
they were nominated.
Chosen under such circumstances, and
with such an unmistakable evidence of the
confidence of the people of the State in
their honor. rapability and integrity. who
can doubt that they will leave anything I'M
done that can be done to prove themselves
entirely worthy of the positions they have
been called upon to fill ?-Chicago Journal,
Nov. 25.

a Word Back,

We are not disposed to quarrel very
much with "a Republican, whose COM
munication we print in another place, as
to the duty of the Republican party at
the present time. We agree with him
that the Personal Liberty Bill of Wiscon-
sin and some other States, is not just the
thing. but our friend will also agree with
US that so far as this State is concerned,
the law is dead letter and whether re
pealed or not is of no sort of consequence
one way or the other We will not allow
him or any one else to exceed US in devo-
ton TO the constitutional rights Of the
South, but we do not like to exhaust all of
our energies in that dire SO that we
cannot also look after the interests of the
North at the same time. Our correspon-
dent understands perfectly well, we pre-
sumo, for he is an intelligent man, that the
South has been on the aggressive all the
way through, in this slavery matter, and
that she has been examining down the
threats Of the Northern people, year after
year, enactments of the most outrageous
character. With the aid of Northern
doughfaces, she forced upon US the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, which is as full of barba-
rous and atrocious requirements as an egg
is full of meat and in retaliation for that
act, if SO you please to call it, Wisconsin
and some ether States passed these Per-
sonal Liberty Laws, for the repeal of which
"a Republican" now asks. The South
struck the first blow, and it is for her first
to make reparation. Let her modify the
Fugitive Slave Law, to begin with, and
make it less Objectionable than it is now to
the North; She need only to make it hui
man, whilt leaving it just as efficient as it
is now for Pie purposes for which the law
was Originally designed. But until she
does do that, we apprehend there will be
some trouble in getting the States which
have offended in the eyes Of GA Republi-
cam to recede.
But are there no other States, let us
ask, than those mentioned by our cores
pondent, whose laws are in conflict with
those of the general government? How
is it, for instance, in the testy little State
Of South Carolina, which is just now in
such buster? Would''ARepublican, ''hun-
ker though he be, be permitted to land to-
day in Charleston, and to remain as long as
he chose, unmolested? Would not his letters
be very likely to undergo espionage in the
Post Office, particularly if bearing Wis
consin post-mark? Would they not prob.
ably be destroyed and never come into his
hands at all? And how about the laws
suppressing the African Slave Trade p
"a Republican" knows that upon all these
questions, the practice of South Carolina
is clearly wrong, and yet be winks at them
all and has not a single word of fault to
find at notification in her We like the
doctrine of equal rights, and while we
would not claim for Wisconsin any privil-
eye to which she is not entitled under the
Constitution, we would not grant any to
South Carolina to which under that same
instrument, she is not entitled. That is
our doctrine, and we think when "A Re-
publican" comes to consider it candidly,
he will agree with us in the opinion that
it is about right.

California and Oregon.

The Pony Express which left San Fran
cisco on the 14th inst, brings the crafty
ing intelligence that California and Ore
gon have both gone Republican. In the
former State the footings received stand
thus: Lincoln. SO, $50, Douglas, IS, 900;
Breckenridge, 3l,2l6; Bell. 5.026; Lin
coin over Douglas 500. Other reports
give Lincoln plurality of over 1000, and
the dispatch adds it is generally conceded
that he has carried the State.
In Oregon, returns have been received
from all the counties except three small
ones. and Lincoln so far as heard from is
$50 ahead of Breckenridge and $50 ahead
of Douglas 1t is said that the remaining
counties could not change the result. If
these figures are correct, Lincoln will have
$50 electoral votes.

TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Buffalo. Not. 26,


Buffalo, Nov. 26,
The storm of Saturday and Sunday was
the mott severe that has occurred for many
years. The damage to buildings in the
city was not very heavy, the demolition of
the casting house of Palmer & Wads9orth,
in course of erection, being the principal
one.
The marine losses, are as follows: The
Schooner Comet, previously reported,
ashore IN the bay; cargo of oats The
bark Torrent, ashore in the bay; cargo
coal, Schooner Fanny Gardener, ashore
near the Comet !; no cargo. Propeller For
est queen, ashore at Bailey Harbor, gone
to pieces. A large Propeller supposed to
be the Dacotah, of the New York Central
Railroad Line is ashore at Eighteen Mile
Creek. She left Buffalo Friday afternoon
with double crew on board, all of whom
have persisted. The Propeller Jersey City,
of New York and Erie Railroad Line, is re-
ported to have foundered near Dunkirk :;
all on board persisted. Two or three pro-
pellers and number of sail vessels are
ashore on the Canada Shore. Most of the
feet bound down are safe, the losses being
chiefly confined to vessels bound up
Schr. j. s. Newhouse is ashore near God

The Kansas Troubles.
Warsaw, Mo-, Nov. 2

w aTSdW, MO-, NOV. IL.
Judge Williams, T. S District Judge Of
Southern Kansas, arrived in town tonight.
A meeting of the citizens was immediately
called, and Judge Williams delivered a
calm: cool statement of affairs in the terri
tory. He has been for 25 years pre-
siding Judge on the borders of civilization.
He is an old man with snow white locks
and fine appearance, formerly of Pennsyl-
vania, and Attorney General Black was
his law student. Judge Williams said
since Saturday night he had been in the
saddle; he cane to warn Missouri of the
approaching danger. Southern Kansas
had been delivered over to Abolition out
rage under Montgomery and others. For
three and a half years he had been presi-
ding Judge there and endeavoring to main
tain the supremacy Of the laws and to that
end had used his efforts on and off the
bench faithfully. Notwithstanding the evi-
dence of mauraders and lawless men, who
were there for that purpose only. He had
organized and held courts in all the coun-
ties of this District These mauraders and
murderers are sustained by men who pro-
cure means from the States.
A messenger of undoubted veracitv had
arrived, stating that on yesterday near
100 men had entered Missouri, fully armed.
passed down the Usage to Bulls Mill, 3
miles over the line, with four negroes pro
ceding in advance with coils of rope, &c,
all armed.
The Judge then made the same state
ment in substance as has previously been
telegraphed, and closed by urging the peo-
pie to 90 into Kansas, but to protect them
selves within their own line, and to send
aid to the border counties Immediately, as
they are at the mercy of these outlaws.
LEAvENWoRTH, ov. 24-The latest in
formation received Lere from Ft. Scott
shows that up to Tuesday no demonstra-
ton had been made there. It is thought
here that Montgomery object is only to
drive off some obnoxious settlers, and that
be has no intention Of molesting the Gov
eminent officers at Eft. Scott. or of invad-
ing Missouri. His original bands have
probably been largely reinforced by men
recently driven from the New York Indi-
an lands, and rendered desperate by want.
Further intelligence from that region is ex-
pected tonight. Gen. Harvey and Gov.
Medary will arrive here tomorrow
The force at Fort Leavenworth are ready
to march at a moments warning.
KANSAS CRY, Nov. 27.-The mail coach
from Fort Scott arrived here this evening
bringing Jesse Morrin and two registers of
the land office at Fort Scott, who furnish
the following despatch touching the late
disturbance at Fort Scott:
Much of the excitement here during the
last week has been without reasonable cause
The business of the land Office has not been
interrupted, and there is no fear that it will
be. 1t is the prevailing opinion here that
the flight of Judge Williams and the Court,
was not warranted by the circumstances in
the case.
