Letter from Kansas.


| SENECA, K. T., Jan. 9Th, ls6o.
| FRIEND DANIELS:
| You have doubtless learned, long
since, that Kansas is triumphantly Re
publican. There are but five counties
that can attain a Democratic majority
How was it four years ago? Iowa was
decidedly staunch Republican State
| Kansas was trampled upon By the Border
! Rufians, and the Kansas Legislature Of
that stamp enacted code Of laws rePuI.
sive to the sentiments of all high minded
men. Now Kansas has but few Demo
Gratis in the legislature, and they even
profess to be Douglas men. While by
referring to the Iowa papers, l see that
the corresponding body in Iowa has a
bare Republican majority. How is this!
Is lassitude and apathy prevalent in your
ranks? Have your Republicans ceased
to keep your sentincls at their posts =
Have you forgotten that If Kansas is
now secured to freedom, aud will proba,
bly, soon add one to the galaxy OF tree
States, that the same principle is still oc.
cupying the whole tine in oar national
Congress, and say il Republican Presi.
dent is elected, they aud their co ju-
tors will secede; or, if Republican
Speaker of the House is chosen, they
will never suffer the House to organize /;
is that not a sufficient reason for the
good old cause of RepubIicanism to arouse
and shake of the apathy Of the past
You may say that Iowa carried the State
by 5000 for the Republicans, but what
can a Republican Governor do with an
almost Democratic legislature.
We think here that old John Brown
did wrong, but We also think Wise made
an ass of himself If Brown deserved
hanging, SO did the Border Ruf6ans who
murdered innocent men-butchered in
nocent children and violated innocent
women. If old Brown mertcd death,
Atchison, Titus, and host of other out
laws, deserved the rack and gibbet Let
any honorable Democrat uphold the Ad-
ministration Kansas outragcs. and the
lie inevitably fastcns itself to him.
Buchanan has violated every pledge of
his political code and every principle of
political honor. We are now ruled by
his appointees, and although nine out Of
ten in favor of freedom, our Courts aud
the administration of our laws are coup
led and ruled by the dominant dictations
of slave power. Many soy that Kansas
is dead issue; there is not word Of
truth in it. A law is now in force that
if we have not the requisite number Of
to entitle us to member in
he Hause, by the last census, We cannot
be admitted into the Union and still
Kansas is dead issue. Arrogant soph-
istry! We here expect to be kept out of
the Union by Buchanan by means of this
same law, aud still Kansas is a dead
issue. If Jim Buchanan still acts in this
way, the Democrats must still shoulder
this terrible incubus of their corrupt
Administration The people of Kansas,
to gam their freedom, have had to con-
tend with q c. rrupt Administration and
yet the same dominant power uses every
effort to trample in the dust.
But VIC hope to have a Republican
President in 1850, but depend upon it.
no man in Kansas will vote for said can
ldatc.
Yours, in the bonds Of political faith.

A DisuniOnist Re Wardcd

If anything more is needed to illus
traits the sympathy Of the Democratic
party for the Disunionist, the recent ap,
pointment of Hon. c. j. Faulkner, Of
Virginia; to the French mission, is suffi.
cient The Democratic members Of the
L. s. Senate have endorsed and approved
the Presidents appointment Of 4 notori.
Gus D:sunionist, and SO proved and ae.
knowledged on the floor of the Senate to
represent this government abroad, in a
high mission, and have thus rewarded q
traitor fir his treason, and published to
the world that the Democracy actually
prefer Disunionist to Democrat who
is not such. The Hon. John A. Dix, Of
New York, was an applicant for this ap-
pointment. lie has certainly shown
himself faithful servant of the Demo
cratic party. He has apostatized from
Free Solism to win favor with that par.
ty, just as Faulkner had done. He has
always stood ready to prove his devotion
to the party by doing its ultraist work.
No man probably deserved more of his
party in liberal share Of spoils than
John A. Dix. But Mr., Dix is north.
ern man and Union man. Faulkner is
Southerner and Disunionist He
has dcclared-"be/ore Republian Pres.

ocrats are beaten in this election, it will
be their right and their duty to seize
upon the public buildings and archives
at Washington, and plunge tie country
in civil war So Faulkner received
the appointment, and the Democratic
majority of the United States Senate for
mally endorsed and approved it. Even
the northern Democratic members did
not dare raise their voices or record

Sensible talk.
"NOrthern Aggression"

rom Tue LpNIsNlhe
1t is fashionable now to dec!aim about
the aggression of The North and the
wrongs of the South. We are told tina.
the South has compromised and yielded,
and ,ielded and compromised, until size
has nothing left. and that she must now
stand upon her constitutional rights
Thi. is all very vague and lnhammatory;
but it is, perhaps, not popular I" sus'
gest that there is more gas than reality
in all these trades. The South has had
the President of the United States forty
eight years, whilst the North has had it
Blu, twenty four; whilst the South has
given majority of her votes for each
one Of the Northern men who have been
elected, with two or three exceptions;
the South has, in the meantime, had
controlling influence in Congress almost
always. There IS no policy ctMe Car
eminent that nor crisis for srhich The
SouM is not herself responsible. We
ask these declaimers to name one measure
of aggression, which they talk so much
about, on the Federal statute book, for
which the South is not as much respon-
iblc as the North: What particular act
of aggression is complained Of? Let it
be specified and rectifed. Is the South
now dissatisfied with herself? She has
had the power Of the Federal Govern.
ment, and if she is ill.used, she has her.
self to blame for it. 1t is to he regret
ted that she can't be satisfied with her
own acts

County ORGANIZATION.

The Legislature is now in full working
order and we trust that the assembled
wisdom F" of the State, will attend to the
interests Of the people. There are vari-
Gus matters Of great importance to the
State, that demand Il consideration at the
hands Of our law making body. Our
county organization needs thorough
revision. We think our present organ-
sstion radically wrong. There are
great many abuses which nothing but an
entire change will cure. The people are
everywhere demanding the abolition of
the Office Of County Judge and the sub
stitution Of something in its stead, that
will effectually cut off the arbitrary power
Of this office. The plan Of Ohio and
other western States, is altogether pre-
ferable; and has been found to work ad-
mirably for number of years. Let
every rctrenchmeut, consistent with the
interests of the State and county. be
made There are various other changes
that would be beneficial to our county
affairs. But We would call the especial
attention of our Representatives to the
County Judge system. Nothing but an
entire change in that department will
meet the wishes OF the great mass of the
people Of all parties
