/ The Lawrence Republican of last week,

We saw in some of the eastern papers. that

At that time our statements were strictly
true. Nothing, up to that date, had been
received except few bushels of corn, at
this place. and few bushels Of potatoes in
Waterloo township, so far as we could learn
on extensive inquiry. A similar statement
appeared about the same time in the Bur-
llngton Register. informing Us that nothing
had been received in that region. The Re
publican can say what it pleases about "falee

the truth Of the statement made by US in
the article in question. We have the i'm

pectfully suggest to him that he attend to
his own business, and We will endeavor to
regulate our affairs down this way.

We clip from the Americus Sentinel the
following letter from J. ". Boyer & Co.,
of Kansas City, in regard to their nam
moth Boot and Shoe store, in that city.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-. Nov. 81, 1860.
DEAR SIR We have now full and
complete Stock of Winter Boots and Shoes,
embracing an unusually large amount, and
the best assortment to be found in the State
of Missouri, or any where West of the sea-
board cities. Our Goods are all made Of
the best class of stock. One thing to which
We would particularly call your attention is,
that all of our heavy goods are firmly rIv-
tied in the shank-both Boots and Shoes
this being done in our own house, by our
own hands, and in manner which we can
warrant will insure them from giving way,
difficulty which has long been felt to be
almost impossible to overcome, even in the
best custom made work. Our stock of
Mems, Boys, Youths and Children's
Boots and Shoes is very large in all their
variety. Oar Ladies', Misses and Chill
drens's work. as well as the other depart
ments of our stock cannot be excelled; in
fact, our prepa, atoms for this winter are
more full and complete than ever before, and
at unprseedently low prices. Yours Truly,

REL1ER ZOE TIE NEEpY

We inform our readers this week. of the ar.
rival of assistance. very considerable in
amount, for the relief of the destitute in this
section. The Executive COMMITTEES of Cen.
trail Kansas Relief Association, have within
the past few days. received the sum of over
FIVE hundred dollars, as appears by their
published statement in another column: and
they are likewise assured of-the speedy ar
rival ofconsiderable quantities of breadstuffs
This is good news. and we feel to rejoice
with others at the now sure prospect Of re-
lief being afforded to the destitute hundreds
among US. To deny that our people need
this proffered assistance would be absurd
I 1t is useless to ignore the fact that large
portion of our population are either in want
at present, of food and clothing, or soon will
be.
During the past week the Relief Commit
tee of this place have visited quite a num-
Der Of destitute families and administered to
their wants. They have only done this,
however, In cases where relief has been So
licited, as the Directors of the society, at
their meeting to-day, are expected to dev.ss
some general plan for distributing relief
1t is perhaps worthy of remark that nearly
every case of restitution thus far reported
20 the committee, has been done through
friends and not by the destitute parties
themselves. We hope this will at least ex-
bonerate these people from the charge OF
begging help.
We are informed also that Mr.. Hinshaw,
Treasurer ofthe Relief Society, has lately
received small amount of money from
members of the Society of Friends in Ohio,
which he is distributing among the desti-

The Atchison Champion says that tn

fused to carry relief freight. at reduced pri
ces, on account of any report that arms had
been shipped to Montgomery, as ''reliet
goods but because it has increased the
rates of all frieghts, and because = = ---,;s,
of relief goods coming over it was getting
to be so large that the Road was losing
money by transporting them, as the old rate
did not pay for their handling. The pres
ent rate of freight charged just pays the
Company for the handling of the goods,

Gov. Aedary has resigned. The Gov
ernor does not give his reasons for this step,
but it is understood to. be- on account oil
some difficulty between him and Gen. Har-
ney at Fort Scott, during the late troubles.
In common with the people Of this section,
we are sorry to lose Governor Medary. No

much ability. or given half SO much salts

Governor soon.

about hundred thousand dollars by the op-
Grafton, and her State stocks are down 10
sixty nine cents on the dollar Slave prop
erty is below par all along the border, and
the spectators in that kind of stock are

grams; and Harvey has now sufficiently
served his country to retire to private life.

Mr.. RADE,S SPEECH.

In the q. s. Senate, on 6he 9TH. Hon
Ben. Wade, Of Ohio. made speech on the
troubles in the South. We make the fol.
lowing extract from thetslegrsphic report
Mr.. Wade said he had very little faith in
argument under the circumstances now ex-
istiDg in this country. He did not under
stand that anything growing out of the re-
cent election was any cause for the present
condition of the country. If the papers are
to be credited, there is a reign of terror In
the South equal 20 that in Paris. He did
not blame the South, for they had been led
to believe that the Republican party will
trample on all their rights and be their avow-
ed enemies. At the North, he would be
the last man to advocate laws sderogatorv to
the interests of any ether State. These per-
sonal liberty laws were not made to degrade
the South, but to protect the free States
from unlawful seizure. Where the South
has lost one man, we have lost ten by un-
lawful mobs. The South own the Senate
and President. He then went on to argue
that the Republican party was now the same
that it ever had been-that it stood where
Washington, Jefferson, and Clay stood 1t
holds to the doctrine that slavery shall not
exist in the Territories. He then said if
the South had anything to complain of in
the character, habits, or principles of Mr..
Lincoln, or the Vice President elect, let them
lame it. The day of compromise is at an
end after the experience we have had in
Congress, it is absolutely ridiculous to talk
about them. When the American people
cut loose from the sheet anchor of Liberty,
that moment the Republic is at an end
u. g. IL
dict of the people. He said he would yield
to no compromise-weh had won the victory
as all others had-there were no comprom-
Uses to make-the controversy must be met
alone by the Constitution. and when we go
estray from that, we get into difficulty
The South claims the constitutional right to
secede from the Union. Ii that be SO, we
have not and never had any government.
South Carolina is a small State, and we
should not miss her much if swallowed up
by an earthquake tomorrow. For himself,
he would allow her to go, but as member
of this Congress, and a supporter of the
Constitution, he could not do so. A State
has no constitutional right to go out
They can revolutionize; if they conquer,
they are rebels. No new State shall be ad-
mitted into the Union without the consent
of two-thirds of all the members of both
branches of Congress, and the vote shall be
taken by yeas and nays, which shall be en-
tered on the journals, and every bill for
such: purpose shall be subjected to the ap-
proval or rejection of the President of the
United Ssates, as in other cases, excepting
that when returned, with his objections, it
shall require the vote of three fourths of
both houses of Congress to pass it. Mr..
w. continued at considerable length, con-
tending that the present troubles were main
ly attributable to misrepresentation of the
Republican party and its objects.
