letter from Kansas, dated August 9th,
gives sad account of the present condition of
things in that territory. The writer says =
"The present condition of affairs here is
worthy Of consideration. The territory has been
visited by "drouth" of the most disastrous
character. Asa general thing the farmers and
settlers are entirely destitute of wheat, corn,
potatoes, garden vegetables, hay and fodder
Many Of them are now actually in want of as
sistance. Very little work to be had-no pub
lie Improvements going on-catt!e and hogs
almost valueless-money scarce "A to per
cent. month credit impossible. Is it to be
wondered at that hundreds of worthy men are
almost reduced to desperation in view of the
approaching winter! For portion of these
difficulties, it cannot be denied that the mass

administration and the party in power Had

err But ever since 1855 the whole power of the
government has be0n excited against the in
terest and prosperity OF the people of Kansas.
Heretofore territories have had, from time to
time, appropriations for wagon.roads, bridges,
public buildings, and local improvements and
the expenses of the district court have been

used by the leaders OF the claw and order

investigate this matter little He knew the
facts and personally examined the foundation

ing anything until spring. Many families are
badly circumstanced. Hundreds of husbands,
brothers and sons, after putting in their spring
crops and making other arrangements which
they supposed would be sufficient for the COM
fort of those dependent upon them, have gone
to the gold region, intending to return in Oc-
tober or November. Very few of the miners
have been successful there. The failure of
crops has disappointed all. Meanwhile, taxes
are levied, lands advertised for sale for taxes,
newly settled districts have been brought into
market at public sale, the territorial and coun.

RACES on the Rio Grande In that case the
principal object was TO get into Texas por-
ton OF the United States army, to spend money
there. As soon as their success was certain
as soon as the troops began TO move in that
direction,-quiet was restored as if by magic.
We may safely assume that in this case the
sensation stories have been manufactured for
purpose and, in our judgment the purpose
is to tell atrocious lies and get up an excite
ment, under cover of which may be car
ried on a merciless crusade against men
suspected of free state sympathies Slavery
does not want such men in Texas, and means
TO have them all banished or murdered, in or
der Thy such means to check sympathy for
free institutions and make the influence of the
institution supreme.
1t is very well known that there has been a
large number of free state men in Texas, es-
pecially in the more western counties. Their
presence and influence have threatened disas-
ter to the schemes of slavery propagandism in
that part of the country. Throughout the
southern states of the Unioh, this condition of
things has been a topic of much earnest dis
cussion. 1t is our belief that slavery is doing
in Texas what it sought to do in Kansas. 1t
is destroying free state men and crushing out
free state sentiment 1t is trying to make inn
possible that free state which has been prepar.
ing to arise out OF the western portion oil the
Texan territory. We shall at length have
more complete account of the present very
remarkable excitement in that state, and
when we get it, something may be added to
our explanation; but we are confident that it
will be substantially confirmed.

For some time we have heard reports of a
remarkable commotion in Texas. The most
exciting forms of expression have been used
to announce that the "abolitionists" in that
quarter have formed wide spread and very
dangerous conspiracy and that they have been
preparing wholesale slaughter of the inhabi-
tants. There is a confused oatcry but no
clear statement of facts. Only one thing is
certain, TO wit Under a pretense of exter.
minating bloody conspirators, the shareholders
IN Texas are destroying or driving from the

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN KANSAS
Frequent and various accounts have been re-

of the general depression, seems to have in.
