ADDHES3 OP TUB FRKE STATE COMMITTEE. Tho Executive. Conimittco of tho reo'ilo of Kaunas, appointed tit tho lalo Convention held at Grasshopper Fulls, lmvo issued a long and very alio address, slitting succinctly their past grievances, and suggesting tho measures necessary to soettro their rights in tho future. After recounting sonio of tl.o wrongs indicted on the people of that territory in robbing them of the electivo franchise, and denying them ull the legal redress, they announco their determination to muko ono moro bust cll'ort to obtiiin their rights by peaceable resort to tho ballot box not, however, with any sanguino expectation of success, by reason as well of tho unfairness of tho judges of the elections, as of the wicked manner in which tho election districts oro gerrymandered, with the evident intent to secuio a pro-slavery triumph at all hazards. On this point, they make the following statement : Wo acknowbtlgc that our chief incentive to the adoption of this measure, (taking part in tho election) was tho urgent appeals niado in favor of it by many of those who stood by us in tho free states in all our past struggles, But iff? ftanMtj avow ourselves not sanguino of success. It is true that Mr. Walker, our federal governor, has declared that ho will afl'ord us, to tho best of his ability, a full and fair election belore impartial judges ; but, with our past experience, we Und it tlillicult to indulge in any hopo of justice from tho agents of tho federal administration, lly tho law ol the election all but those who have resided six months or inoro in tho territory aro excluded from tho polls. Tho system of districting and apportionment for members of the Legislature shows an unquestionable determination to introduce voters (rora abroad. Sixteen counties, strongly free state, containing nearly one half tho entire population of the territory are not allowed a singlo representative in cither branch. Of tho thirteen members of the Council all but three, and of tho thirty-nine members of tho House of Representatives all but ten are to be elected in districts bordering tho Missouri lino. Topeka is connected n-ilb Vnrf Knnt t- flnrl l.furrnnprt l tn the Bhawnco Mission adjoining Weslport. The Lawrence district is also made to embrace an indefinite extent of country, having no geographical connection whatever with it, ' away on in tho region of tho Rocky mountains ; occupied only by on Indian toading post, here ! and thero, nt which fictitious precincts may I bo made, and from which fictitious returns , may bo sent in, at any time after tho election to overcome tho free state vole. Besides these things, our enemies have complete po-session of all tho machinery of tho election. Establishing tho places for voting, appointing tho judges, canvassing tho returns, declaring the result of tho election, and all other matters of detail, aro in hands of tho countv .o '."loners, who"--"3 iiiom.ivivcs ciccietl by fraud and violence from Missouri. Mr. Able, partner of Stringfvllun", says that " Kansas must not bo given up," mid (Jen. Atkinson sounds tho noto of renewed preparation to South Carolina, and declares that " with one moro cfibrt the work is done." With the administration against us, w ith one-half Iho six month voters virtually disfran chised, with an election law framed expressly I to keep tho newly arrived emigrants from tbe i polls, with the hellish svstem of districtim; ! and apportioning staring us in the faco, with ! most of the ollicersot the election, border ruffians of tho deepest dyo, with tho slave party in Missouri boldly avowing through Gen. Atchison their determination to invado us, Willi only the alrea hj half violute.l promise of Vov. Walker to rely on ; wo do not feel at liberty ; to cherish any very lively expectations of a ; favorable result, lint we yield to the solici-1 talion of our friends. Wo wish justice and! freedom, but we will do our best to securo them without imperilling tho public peace. Wo haro fearlul odds against us ; wo must try to ovcrcotno them. J!ut should wo be overwhelmed will tho federal governmentstill regard with disfavor our application for admission as a State into the L'nion? In that event, will not all good men sustain us in giving effect to our state government at all hazards ? At any rate, this may be regarded as tho only attempt which will over bo made to adjust our groat dilliculty under tho territorial government. What may bo done after that however, it is not our province to declare. " Ucforo closing this address tho committee desiro to submit a few remarks for the special consideration of the people of Missouri. Wo desiro it to be understood that tho people of Kansas do not chargo tho otrages to which Ihcy havo been subjected upon the people of Missouri as a body. Un the contrary they know that tho masses of that pco-plo have not joined in these outrages, but havo remained at home and denounced tho invaders. Towards them we entertain no other feelings than those of respect and kindness This has been abundantly made maui-fest by our actions. Many a town is now starulina atul thriving in Missouri monuments of our consideration for them, an.l esteem of their conduct. Itespect lor tins class ol tlio pcoplo of Missouri has induced a sedulously to refrain from retaliatory measures. Those who havo joined in tho loray against us, under the sincere impression that Massachusetts and other free states wow importing votors into Kansas, havo been crossly deceived. That wo aro friendly towards the pcoplo of Massachusetts and other hveo states is not surprising. By their munificence wo woro furnished arms to defend our homes from plunder and destruction. When tho Missouii river and markots upon our border wera closed against US, tho poor of Kansas were clothed and fed by their liberality. Notwithstanding this, however, wo would rciist them in any attempt to despoil us of our franchise, as wo would resist tho ncoplo of Missouri. Hut wo deny that tho pcoplo of Massachusetts, or of any other Irce state, ever auempicu any nueu thing. It is, doubtless true that immediately aftorUio election of March, 1835, many of tho peacefully disposed citizens of Kansas loft the torritory, and good reason had they for so doing. Kansas was invaded by hostilo for- organized for wor. and her Ivopla ruth lessly trampled into the dust. Was not this a sutlicient reason 1- To. that portion of Mis souri whoso aims aro torcsliauowctl tu tho letter of Atchison to South Carolina, in wbich he avowod his intention to again invade Kansas, we have these things to say ! . Tho interests of Kansas and Missouri are identical. ' A farm cannot be improved in Kansas, or a town built up without it bera-6tting Missouri. ' A railroad cannot bo extended into Kansas from the states without its traversing the entire length of Missouri. For many years Missouri must be the market for Kansas. The people of Kansas are entitled to the protection of tho saiio constitution and flag that protects tho pooplo of Missouri. Should tho pcoplo of Kansas invade your homes to wrest your ballot-boxes from you by forco, what would bo your feelings nnd action ? Would not all tho resentful and in-dignant impulses of your naturo bo stirred up ? Would you not meet ns on our border, and with bayonets in your hands thrust us back? An authority to which wo all defer has said, "do unto others as you would that others should do unto you." Wo implore you not to attempt to again violate our rights. Wo are men us you are, and our common manhood requires that wo should resist you if you do. Wo aro organized for duefer.so. Wo havo tho pledge of Gov. Walker that lie will uso tho troops of tho United States in our behalf. If you persist against your best interests against all considerations of patriotism against all manly and christian duty in tho mad course somo would mark out for you, a warmwt cnsue,prolracted andhluoJij, between Kansas and Missouri. It may bo extended all along tho lino to tho Atlantic coast. A dissolved Union and a broken government may be the result. For tho highest welfare of Kansas and Missouri, in tho name of our common country and tho living Gcd, wo appeal to you to refrain. Remain at home. The Kansas question will then bo peacefully settled ; the agitation of slavery will cease ; and Kansas and Missouri will go on prospering and to prosper. TO THE TEOl'LIS OP KANSAS. Having thus discharged tho duty assigned them, tho committe would conclude by exhorting all tho people of Kansas to go to the polls ou the day of election, in pursuanco of tho action of tho convention, and deposit their ballots for candidates of their choice. Whatever may bo tho result of tho election, wo believe our cause will bo strengthened by such a courso. Very respectfully I J. 11. LANE, AND COMMITTEE. ItUS. BLICKCNSDEKFElt. In reply to a letter from tho State Central Committee, Mr. Blickensderfer has written a lottor stating tho facts in relation to his connection with tho fraudulent canal lettings which took place in November, 1S33. Mr. Blickensderfer declares that in tho wholo courso of his procedure in relation to the Canal Contracts, ho acted according to tho best lights ho had at tho time. Ho acknowledges that part of tho contracts were fraudulent, but says that at tho timo they wcro entered into ho was ignorant of their fraudulent character, and that he is now desirous that all of Ihoru should bo subjected to a proper legal investigation, or adjudication. He further states that when tho Board of Public works came to execute tho law of last winter, ho utterly refused further connection of any kind wilh.lho contractors for sections G and 8, being assured that those contracts at loait trnt-0 vn'ii. Ho further says that when Iho "contractor on sec. 4 was cited to appear before thy Board nnd on full hearing, the BoniiT unanimously declared his cnnlroct forfeited, for the' reason that he hud failed ci ni lelely lo make the repairs required, and no regard has ever been paid to this contract sinej," Mr. B. also says : " The form of tho contract and specifications adopted by the Board, under which the woik was let, was, at my instance, very in eh modified from the original draft presented by my colleagues in the Board. I was successful in getting it into a shape which it is admitted puts it into the power of tho commissioner in chargo to enforco tho faithful performance of the work contemplated; yet, as a wholo this form of contract was not what I preferred, and I therefore voted against it." The Ohio State Journal regards tho wholo statement of Mr. B. taken together, to be a completo answer to everything that has boon said against him. Wo havo never pretended to assert that Mi. IS. acted dishonestly or corruptly in tho matter of tho Canal Contracts but we did say, and wo think still, tho State Convention acted contrary to sound policy in ro-nominatinghim. In our judgment, Mr. B., under all the circumstances of the case, should not have been a candidate. There surely was no necessity for re-nominating a man who was at all liablo to tho suspicion of cither political friends or foes. Wo are free to say that after reading Mr. B.'s statement and learning from himself what his truo position is in relation to the fraudulent canal contracts, we thiuk much moro favorably of him. We must still say, however, that wo do not liko the nomination of Mr. Blickensderfer. Stampede ol HI eg roes Two 91c u Wounded. Wo find tho following in tho Maysvillo Ea-glo of tho 22d. Quito a stampede of negroes occurred on Sudday night last from tho neighborhood of Washington, in this county, and wo aro informed that as many as seventeen mado their cscapo to Ohio. They were immediately pursued by a parly mado up on both sides of the river, nnd on an attempt being mado to capture ono of the negroes belonging to Mr. Wm. Nolscn, ho mado battle, and cut and danger, ously wounded two men, named I'oso Wal-dron and Wm. P. Dare. Tho negro was finally overcome by the party and brought back to this side of tho river, where he is now safe in jail, but tho two wounded men aro said to bo in a very critical condition, and doubts arc expressed whothercithcrof them can recover. The balance of the negroes are yot at largo. From lliu West. Emigrants are daily returning from the West, with their families and household goods. On Saturday last, four families passed through Kenton on their return to Ashland County, from whence they emigrated to Iowa about 13 months since. Thoy bring discouraging reports from the West. Wheat was down to 40 cents a bushel, nnd no salo at mat. bim-eralion from tho East has almost entirely 'ceased. Lands that sold ready eighteen l monlh lincq at $10 per a re, bad been olfor- cd at $2,50.

Tho Lebanon Star is indignant at tho charges of Congoism mado by the Democracy on tho Republicans, and retorts with pith and fury as follows : Wo chargo tho Congocs of tho North with being purliceps criminis with tho Congocs of tho South in tho production of one inilli'n of mnhtlors, and for nil tho disgusting conctibi-nagj which prevails iu tho society of the South. Wo chargo tho Congo Democracy, of Ohio especially, of being in favor of negro equality, because thoy voted in 1848 in the Ohio Legislature, for tho repeal ot tho " Black Laws." tho effect of which was to mako tho testimony of a negro equal to that of a white man ! Tho editor of the Coshocton Democrat, the Hon. A. Ct. Dimmock, then a Congo Senator and now a famous Dred Scott tool of the South, in a letter to his constituents, thus justified his vote on that occasion : " I do not admit that tho repeal of the ! Black Laws was a sacrifice of PRINCIPLE,! for it is a fudamontal item in tho Democratic creed that " all men aro created free aud equal," aud tho extension of one privilege to tho negro was a departure from a rule ot h-1 PED1ENCY onlv. which under other cir cumstances would not havo been granted." e chargo tho Congo Democracy with voting for Gov. Chase for United States Senator and thus indorsing his silver pitcher letter, which they say declares "disapprobation of that clause in tho Constitution which denies to a portion of tho colored people the right of sufl'raJJe." Wo charge tho Congo Democracy with zealously supporting Gon. Jackson for the Presidency when it is notorious that ho addrcssod the colored men of Louisiana as his brethren, and appealed to them to fight, shoulder to shoulder, for the defense of Now Orleans, with white men. Wo chargo tho Congo Democracy with supporting Richard M. Johnson for tho Vico Presidency, who lived in open and shameless adullcrv, till his life long, with a NEGltO CONCUBINE, "black as tho ace ef spades," who bred a numerous brood of yellow children by her, and thus freely mixed his own Anglo-Saxon blood with a negro wench for forty years thus establishing an equality with negroes on the most odious amalgamation principles. Wo charge the Congo Democracy with pertinaciously supporting Johnson after ho had attempted, on a Fourth of July occasion, to forco his daughters into an equality with tho whito lodies present. We chargo tlio Congo Democracy of tho North with being in open alliance with tho Cargo Democracy of tho South, who, during tho last decennial period, havo begotten one million of yeltow baeturus. In tho South there is no legal marriage with negroes. Tho De mocracy thero run loose with slave wenches and mix their blood Willi tnein witu as nine enmrmnetinn in regard to propriety and do-cency as is observed by tho beasts of tho field. No Black Kepublicans nro to bo found in the South, hence ama'yamn!ion onl U'Minons equality with negroes is fairly uaceablo to the Congi Democracy of tho South, and, through them, to their brethren in tho North, who have not condemned this practice cither in National, Stato or Couuty Convention ! If they do, tho whole South will bolt from the Congo Democracy of tho North. We chargo the Congo Democracy with supporting Southern men for distinguished political stations, who have sucked nkoho mothers is infancy thus sustaining life on negro milk I Is thero no equality in this ? The children of tho Southern Congoes are nursed by negroes ; sleep with negroes j play with negroes, and live on the most intimate terms with negroes. Tho old and tho young bucks herd with them, as cattle herd with each otl or, and tho result is, hundreds of mubittoes nro horn overv dav whose fathers are Sut'lhern Conaoes! Who, in this case, aro for "Xearo Equality?" Virginia stands at tlio head of tlio amalgamation column anu in me irotu rank of tho Congo Demacracy. "Washing tho blackamooro whito " is tho great business of tho slave breeder thero. lie nnxos whito and black blood with as much zeal and readiness as an Ohio farmer docs that of whito and black hogs. In tho Free States, whero the Republicans aro greatly in the ascendant, in 1830 there wcro but 0G,C19 mulatloes (and two-thirds of these aro tho original product of I concubinago between Southern Democratic slaveholders ann their ebony wenches,) while in Virginia olono thoro are 79,775 25,120 more than in all tho t reo btates together ! Tell us. Mr. Ohio Congo, who aro tho amalga mation's ? Who for negro equality of tho basest sort. Wo chargo tho Congo Demooraoy, by their affiliation with tho Abolitionists and Free Soilers of 1818, of being in favar of every ar-ticlo in their creed, viz : negro sull'rage, negro oaths against whito men, negro jurymen, negro marriago, negro schools in common with whites, negro olhcers from rrcsiilont to con stable, and negro equality. We charge tho Congo Democracy with en tertaining tho sentiments of Samuel Cox, late editor of tho Ohio Statesman, nnd member olect now of tho Columbus District, who, whilo at Ronio, wrote a book extolling the African race, commending tho "eloquence of tho despised negro," who, he said, " illustrated to tho world the common bond of broth erhood which binds tho human race ! " Ixok at that ! Tho Congo Democracy of Ohio, "THE BRETHREN OF K KG ROES!" Won't some Buck African negro hater faint when ho smells theso words ? In tho samo work, Congo Cox now ono of tho pets and favorites of tho Slavo Domocracy says : "ALL DISTINCTIONS OF CASTE ARE ODIOUS I " Stuff that up your delectable, fastidious Congo noses I lictiro to your polo- cat kennels, and lio down in the same lair with Pompcy, sambo and Julius Laisar I We charge tho Congo Deinocrny with giv ing their aid and support to the making of new Slave States, where concubinage of negroes will become an established practice. , Wo charge the Congo Democracy with being AMitien Woolrg Heads ! with being in favor of "finally eradicating" and abolishing slavery in tho hlavo Statoa, by tlio operation of which act, if it could bo accomplished, millions of muhUacn Conco and amcubiiiet would be thrown into tho Stato of Ohio, to ifit-oduco hero social equality tmi equal rights, that prevail among tho Southern Congocs. Doos tho rcador want proof of this ? If so, ploojie road tho annexed resolution,' which was regularly iccorporutcd into thn Demiicrat-ic creed during tleyjars V5''Z'-.'A and '03. "Jleso'vel, That tho peorla of Ohio now, as they always have done, look upon slavery a n evil, and unfavorable to the development of tho spirit and practical benefits of free institutions, and that entertaining these sentiments, thcr will at all times feel it to bo i their duly to use all power clearly given, by the terms of the National compact, to prevent its jiicreaso, to initiguta, and finally eradicate tho evil.!'

John G. Bieslin, which they aRego induced lircslin to select tho City Uans of Cincinnati as a placo of deposit and sale keeping of U19 Public Money. Breslin himself navun ai-. i.iiOED such cause, and no man of sense ever believed or could believe that tho letter of Gov. Chaso induced Mr. Breslin thus to aot. At tho timo tho loiter was written, tho Bank; was in good standing. It was written in Do. comber '51. No public deposite was made in that Bank until the spring of 1S52-. Breslin, in his annual report of December 27th, 1335, says ho selected " tho Commercial Bank at Toledo, and tho City Honk if Cincinnati, aa depositories for the Canal Tolls, in pursuanco of tho act passed March 2o.l. 1SIO." Ho says further, "At the opening of navigation iu, 1852, in pursuance of tho Act referred to, tho Collector nt Cincinnati was directed to deposit tho Tolls collected by him in tho Ciiy Bank of Cincinnati. At various limes deposits were mado in this Bank by the Treasurer to procure exchange for the payment of interest and redemption of bonds. 1 ii December, 185 1, (thrije years after Chase's letter was written, lomomber,) thisJaek laded lo uuct the drafts, given tho Treasurer for tiie amount of sjTl),-811,95." Here, then, w-j havo tho olljcial statement o Mr. Bivslin that he selected tho City Bajilwtn. pursuance o;' a law of 18 10, ami not because ot the p.ivatJ nolo of Governor Chase, as tho Locoloco desperadoes now aU lege. By the deposition of S. R .b-rt, President of this City Bank of Cinciiuaii, which is printed in tho appendix to the Seimte journal f,,r 1857, page 413, it appears lli. t the iv.ti;k filel to meet the drafts of the Treasurer in August 1853, amounting to $7(i,81 1 Ho, J that theso drafts wcro renewed again and f. II due in Do. comber, 1851, and Wore again protested and not paid, as lJro.h'11 acknowledges in his report of 1S53, quoted aliove. Ii is clear, that this Bank actually failed in August, IS;',;!, ,in notwithstanding tho largo amount of publio monoy therein deposited, th drafts of tho S:ate drawn upon it wi e p; ousted and thti State dishonored.

Tho concern finally shut tip and oi.is. ed operations as a bank 'some time in tho spring of 1851. Though it was known to tho State Treasurer, and doubtless to Morgan, Medillei Co., as early as August, 1833, when tho Stato drifts nmennting to seveiuv-ninu thousad dollars and over wcro protected for non-payment, yet Brexm .-' 011 dpuslth there up to July 37, 18.".f, and liom Mav :w;h, 1851 to July 3d, 1853, lie actually deposited in that Bank the enormous sum of 75.35 D,0i, It is only necessary to add to this catalogue of crimo that tho paivatu ih -j ositois h,'ve ,' ke:t pail by the bank, bin not one cent of tho State's deposits have been repaid, r.nd it is fair to presume that w hilo Mr. Breslin was m iking his d .'posits there, tho money wa-i used to p.iy private depositors, and kept up other Jhmncuil arrangiments.

ADDHES3 OP TUB FRKE STATE COMMITTEE. Tho Executive. Conimittco of tho reo'ilo of Kaunas, appointed tit tho lalo Convention held at Grasshopper Fulls, lmvo issued a long and very alio address, slitting succinctly their past grievances, and suggesting tho measures necessary to soettro their rights in tho future. After recounting sonio of tl.o wrongs indicted on the people of that territory in robbing them of the electivo franchise, and denying them ull the legal redress, they announco their determination to muko ono moro bust cll'ort to obtiiin their rights by peaceable resort to tho ballot box not, however, with any sanguino expectation of success, by reason as well of tho unfairness of tho judges of the elections, as of the wicked manner in which tho election districts oro gerrymandered, with the evident intent to secuio a pro-slavery triumph at all hazards. On this point, they make the following statement : Wo acknowbtlgc that our chief incentive to the adoption of this measure, (taking part in tho election) was tho urgent appeals niado in favor of it by many of those who stood by us in tho free states in all our past struggles, But iff? ftanMtj avow ourselves not sanguino of success. It is true that Mr. Walker, our federal governor, has declared that ho will afl'ord us, to tho best of his ability, a full and fair election belore impartial judges ; but, with our past experience, we Und it tlillicult to indulge in any hopo of justice from tho agents of tho federal administration, lly tho law ol the election all but those who have resided six months or inoro in tho territory aro excluded from tho polls. Tho system of districting and apportionment for members of the Legislature shows an unquestionable determination to introduce voters (rora abroad. Sixteen counties, strongly free state, containing nearly one half tho entire population of the territory are not allowed a singlo representative in cither branch. Of tho thirteen members of the Council all but three, and of tho thirty-nine members of tho House of Representatives all but ten are to be elected in districts bordering tho Missouri lino. Topeka is connected n-ilb Vnrf Knnt t- flnrl l.furrnnprt l tn the Bhawnco Mission adjoining Weslport. The Lawrence district is also made to embrace an indefinite extent of country, having no geographical connection whatever with it, ' away on in tho region of tho Rocky mountains ; occupied only by on Indian toading post, here ! and thero, nt which fictitious precincts may I bo made, and from which fictitious returns , may bo sent in, at any time after tho election to overcome tho free state vole. Besides these things, our enemies have complete po-session of all tho machinery of tho election. Establishing tho places for voting, appointing tho judges, canvassing tho returns, declaring the result of tho election, and all other matters of detail, aro in hands of tho countv .o '."loners, who"--"3 iiiom.ivivcs ciccietl by fraud and violence from Missouri. Mr. Able, partner of Stringfvllun", says that " Kansas must not bo given up" mid (Jen. Atkinson sounds tho noto of renewed preparation to South Carolina, and declares that " with one moro cfibrt the work is done." With the administration against us, w ith one-half Iho six month voters virtually disfran chised, with an election law framed expressly I to keep tho newly arrived emigrants from tbe i polls, with the hellish svstem of districtim; ! and apportioning staring us in the faco, with ! most of the ollicersot the election, border ruffians of tho deepest dyo, with tho slave party in Missouri boldly avowing through Gen. Atchison their determination to invado us, Willi only the alrea hj half violute.l promise of Vov. Walker to rely on ; wo do not feel at liberty ; to cherish any very lively expectations of a ; favorable result, lint we yield to the solici-1 talion of our friends. Wo wish justice and! freedom, but we will do our best to securo them without imperilling tho public peace. Wo haro fearlul odds against us ; wo must try to ovcrcotno them. J!ut should wo be overwhelmed will tho federal governmentstill regard with disfavor our application for admission as a State into the L'nion? In that event, will not all good men sustain us in giving effect to our state government at all hazards ? At any rate, this may be regarded as tho only attempt which will over bo made to adjust our groat dilliculty under tho territorial government. What may bo done after that however, it is not our province to declare. " Ucforo closing this address tho committee desiro to submit a few remarks for the special consideration of the people of Missouri. Wo desiro it to be understood that tho people of Kansas do not chargo tho otrages to which Ihcy havo been subjected upon the people of Missouri as a body. Un the contrary they know that tho masses of that pco-plo have not joined in these outrages, but havo remained at home and denounced tho invaders. Towards them we entertain no other feelings than those of respect and kindness This has been abundantly made maui-fest by our actions. Many a town is now starulina atul thriving in Missouri monuments of our consideration for them, an.l esteem of their conduct. Itespect lor tins class ol tlio pcoplo of Missouri has induced a sedulously to refrain from retaliatory measures. Those who havo joined in tho loray against us, under the sincere impression that Massachusetts and other free states wow importing votors into Kansas, havo been crossly deceived. That wo aro friendly towards the pcoplo of Massachusetts and other hveo states is not surprising. By their munificence wo woro furnished arms to defend our homes from plunder and destruction. When tho Missouii river and markots upon our border wera closed against US, tho poor of Kansas were clothed and fed by their liberality. Notwithstanding this, however, wo would rciist them in any attempt to despoil us of our franchise, as wo would resist tho ncoplo of Missouri. Hut wo deny that tho pcoplo of Massachusetts, or of any other Irce state, ever auempicu any nueu thing. It is, doubtless true that immediately aftorUio election of March, 1835, many of tho peacefully disposed citizens of Kansas loft the torritory, and good reason had they for so doing. Kansas was invaded by hostilo for- organized for wor. and her Ivopla ruth lessly trampled into the dust. Was not this a sutlicient reason 1- To. that portion of Mis souri whoso aims aro torcsliauowctl tu tho letter of Atchison to South Carolina, in wbich he avowod his intention to again invade Kansas, we have these things to say ! . Tho interests of Kansas and Missouri are identical. ' A farm cannot be improved in Kansas, or a town built up without it bera-6tting Missouri. ' A railroad cannot bo extended into Kansas from the states without its traversing the entire length of Missouri. For many years Missouri must be the market for Kansas. The people of Kansas are entitled to the protection of tho saiio constitution and flag that protects tho pooplo of Missouri. Should tho pcoplo of Kansas invade your homes to wrest your ballot-boxes from you by forco, what would bo your feelings nnd action ? Would not all tho resentful and in-dignant impulses of your naturo bo stirred up ? Would you not meet ns on our border, and with bayonets in your hands thrust us back? An authority to which wo all defer has said, "do unto others as you would that others should do unto you." Wo implore you not to attempt to again violate our rights. Wo are men us you are, and our common manhood requires that wo should resist you if you do. Wo aro organized for duefer.so. Wo havo tho pledge of Gov. Walker that lie will uso tho troops of tho United States in our behalf. If you persist against your best interests against all considerations of patriotism against all manly and christian duty in tho mad course somo would mark out for you, a warmwt cnsue,prolracted andhluoJij, between Kansas and Missouri. It may bo extended all along tho lino to tho Atlantic coast. A dissolved Union and a broken government may be the result. For tho highest welfare of Kansas and Missouri, in tho name of our common country and tho living Gcd, wo appeal to you to refrain. Remain at home. The Kansas question will then bo peacefully settled ; the agitation of slavery will cease ; and Kansas and Missouri will go on prospering and to prosper. TO THE TEOl'LIS OP KANSAS. Having thus discharged tho duty assigned them, tho committe would conclude by exhorting all tho people of Kansas to go to the polls ou the day of election, in pursuanco of tho action of tho convention, and deposit their ballots for candidates of their choice. Whatever may bo tho result of tho election, wo believe our cause will bo strengthened by such a courso. Very respectfully I J. 11. LANE, AND COMMITTEE. ItUS. BLICKCNSDEKFElt. In reply to a letter from tho State Central Committee, Mr. Blickensderfer has written a lottor stating tho facts in relation to his connection with tho fraudulent canal lettings which took place in November, 1S33. Mr. Blickensderfer declares that in tho wholo courso of his procedure in relation to the Canal Contracts, ho acted according to tho best lights ho had at tho time. Ho acknowledges that part of tho contracts were fraudulent, but says that at tho timo they wcro entered into ho was ignorant of their fraudulent character, and that he is now desirous that all of Ihoru should bo subjected to a proper legal investigation, or adjudication. He further states that when tho Board of Public works came to execute tho law of last winter, ho utterly refused further connection of any kind wilh.lho contractors for sections G and 8, being assured that those contracts at loait trnt-0 vn'ii. Ho further says that when Iho "contractor on sec. 4 was cited to appear before thy Board nnd on full hearing, the BoniiT unanimously declared his cnnlroct forfeited, for the' reason that he hud failed ci ni lelely lo make the repairs required, and no regard has ever been paid to this contract sinej" Mr. B. also says : " The form of tho contract and specifications adopted by the Board, under which the woik was let, was, at my instance, very in eh modified from the original draft presented by my colleagues in the Board. I was successful in getting it into a shape which it is admitted puts it into the power of tho commissioner in chargo to enforco tho faithful performance of the work contemplated; yet, as a wholo this form of contract was not what I preferred, and I therefore voted against it." The Ohio State Journal regards tho wholo statement of Mr. B. taken together, to be a completo answer to everything that has boon said against him. Wo havo never pretended to assert that Mi. IS. acted dishonestly or corruptly in tho matter of tho Canal Contracts but we did say, and wo think still, tho State Convention acted contrary to sound policy in ro-nominatinghim. In our judgment, Mr. B., under all the circumstances of the case, should not have been a candidate. There surely was no necessity for re-nominating a man who was at all liablo to tho suspicion of cither political friends or foes. Wo are free to say that after reading Mr. B.'s statement and learning from himself what his truo position is in relation to the fraudulent canal contracts, we thiuk much moro favorably of him. We must still say, however, that wo do not liko the nomination of Mr. Blickensderfer. Stampede ol HI eg roes Two 91c u Wounded. Wo find tho following in tho Maysvillo Ea-glo of tho 22d. Quito a stampede of negroes occurred on Sudday night last from tho neighborhood of Washington, in this county, and wo aro informed that as many as seventeen mado their cscapo to Ohio. They were immediately pursued by a parly mado up on both sides of the river, nnd on an attempt being mado to capture ono of the negroes belonging to Mr. Wm. Nolscn, ho mado battle, and cut and danger, ously wounded two men, named I'oso Wal-dron and Wm. P. Dare. Tho negro was finally overcome by the party and brought back to this side of tho river, where he is now safe in jail, but tho two wounded men aro said to bo in a very critical condition, and doubts arc expressed whothercithcrof them can recover. The balance of the negroes are yot at largo. From lliu West. Emigrants are daily returning from the West, with their families and household goods. On Saturday last, four families passed through Kenton on their return to Ashland County, from whence they emigrated to Iowa about 13 months since. Thoy bring discouraging reports from the West. Wheat was down to 40 cents a bushel, nnd no salo at mat. bim-eralion from tho East has almost entirely 'ceased. Lands that sold ready eighteen l monlh lincq at $10 per a re, bad been olfor- cd at $2,50.

Tho Lebanon Star is indignant at tho charges of Congoism mado by the Democracy on tho Republicans, and retorts with pith and fury as follows : Wo chargo tho Congocs of tho North with being purliceps criminis with tho Congocs of tho South in tho production of one inilli'n of mnhtlors, and for nil tho disgusting conctibi-nagj which prevails iu tho society of the South. Wo chargo tho Congo Democracy, of Ohio especially, of being in favor of negro equality, because thoy voted in 1848 in the Ohio Legislature, for tho repeal ot tho " Black Laws." tho effect of which was to mako tho testimony of a negro equal to that of a white man ! Tho editor of the Coshocton Democrat, the Hon. A. Ct. Dimmock, then a Congo Senator and now a famous Dred Scott tool of the South, in a letter to his constituents, thus justified his vote on that occasion : " I do not admit that tho repeal of the ! Black Laws was a sacrifice of PRINCIPLE,! for it is a fudamontal item in tho Democratic creed that " all men aro created free aud equal" aud tho extension of one privilege to tho negro was a departure from a rule ot h-1 PED1ENCY onlv. which under other cir cumstances would not havo been granted." e chargo tho Congo Democracy with voting for Gov. Chase for United States Senator and thus indorsing his silver pitcher letter, which they say declares "disapprobation of that clause in tho Constitution which denies to a portion of tho colored people the right of sufl'raJJe." Wo charge tho Congo Democracy with zealously supporting Gon. Jackson for the Presidency when it is notorious that ho addrcssod the colored men of Louisiana as his brethren, and appealed to them to fight, shoulder to shoulder, for the defense of Now Orleans, with white men. Wo chargo tho Congo Democracy with supporting Richard M. Johnson for tho Vico Presidency, who lived in open and shameless adullcrv, till his life long, with a NEGltO CONCUBINE, "black as tho ace ef spades" who bred a numerous brood of yellow children by her, and thus freely mixed his own Anglo-Saxon blood with a negro wench for forty years thus establishing an equality with negroes on the most odious amalgamation principles. Wo charge the Congo Democracy with pertinaciously supporting Johnson after ho had attempted, on a Fourth of July occasion, to forco his daughters into an equality with tho whito lodies present. We chargo tlio Congo Democracy of tho North with being in open alliance with tho Cargo Democracy of tho South, who, during tho last decennial period, havo begotten one million of yeltow baeturus. In tho South there is no legal marriage with negroes. Tho De mocracy thero run loose with slave wenches and mix their blood Willi tnein witu as nine enmrmnetinn in regard to propriety and do-cency as is observed by tho beasts of tho field. No Black Kepublicans nro to bo found in the South, hence ama'yamn!ion onl U'Minons equality with negroes is fairly uaceablo to the Congi Democracy of tho South, and, through them, to their brethren in tho North, who have not condemned this practice cither in National, Stato or Couuty Convention ! If they do, tho whole South will bolt from the Congo Democracy of tho North. We chargo the Congo Democracy with supporting Southern men for distinguished political stations, who have sucked nkoho mothers is infancy thus sustaining life on negro milk I Is thero no equality in this ? The children of tho Southern Congoes are nursed by negroes ; sleep with negroes j play with negroes, and live on the most intimate terms with negroes. Tho old and tho young bucks herd with them, as cattle herd with each otl or, and tho result is, hundreds of mubittoes nro horn overv dav whose fathers are Sut'lhern Conaoes! Who, in this case, aro for "Xearo Equality?" Virginia stands at tlio head of tlio amalgamation column anu in me irotu rank of tho Congo Demacracy. "Washing tho blackamooro whito " is tho great business of tho slave breeder thero. lie nnxos whito and black blood with as much zeal and readiness as an Ohio farmer docs that of whito and black hogs. In tho Free States, whero the Republicans aro greatly in the ascendant, in 1830 there wcro but 0G,C19 mulatloes (and two-thirds of these aro tho original product of I concubinago between Southern Democratic slaveholders ann their ebony wenches,) while in Virginia olono thoro are 79,775 25,120 more than in all tho t reo btates together ! Tell us. Mr. Ohio Congo, who aro tho amalga mation's ? Who for negro equality of tho basest sort. Wo chargo tho Congo Demooraoy, by their affiliation with tho Abolitionists and Free Soilers of 1818, of being in favar of every ar-ticlo in their creed, viz : negro sull'rage, negro oaths against whito men, negro jurymen, negro marriago, negro schools in common with whites, negro olhcers from rrcsiilont to con stable, and negro equality. We charge tho Congo Democracy with en tertaining tho sentiments of Samuel Cox, late editor of tho Ohio Statesman, nnd member olect now of tho Columbus District, who, whilo at Ronio, wrote a book extolling the African race, commending tho "eloquence of tho despised negro" who, he said, " illustrated to tho world the common bond of broth erhood which binds tho human race ! " Ixok at that ! Tho Congo Democracy of Ohio, "THE BRETHREN OF K KG ROES!" Won't some Buck African negro hater faint when ho smells theso words ? In tho samo work, Congo Cox now ono of tho pets and favorites of tho Slavo Domocracy says : "ALL DISTINCTIONS OF CASTE ARE ODIOUS I " Stuff that up your delectable, fastidious Congo noses I lictiro to your polo- cat kennels, and lio down in the same lair with Pompcy, sambo and Julius Laisar I We charge tho Congo Deinocrny with giv ing their aid and support to the making of new Slave States, where concubinage of negroes will become an established practice. , Wo charge the Congo Democracy with being AMitien Woolrg Heads ! with being in favor of "finally eradicating" and abolishing slavery in tho hlavo Statoa, by tlio operation of which act, if it could bo accomplished, millions of muhUacn Conco and amcubiiiet would be thrown into tho Stato of Ohio, to ifit-oduco hero social equality tmi equal rights, that prevail among tho Southern Congocs.

Breslin himself navun ai-. i.iiOED such cause, and no man of sense ever believed or could believe that tho letter of Gov. Chaso induced Mr. Breslin thus to aot. At tho timo tho loiter was written, tho Bank; was in good standing. It was written in Do. comber '51. No public deposite was made in that Bank until the spring of 1S52-. Breslin, in his annual report of December 27th, 1335, says ho selected " tho Commercial Bank at Toledo, and tho City Honk if Cincinnati, aa depositories for the Canal Tolls, in pursuanco of tho act passed March 2o.l. 1SIO." Ho says further, "At the opening of navigation iu, 1852, in pursuance of tho Act referred to, tho Collector nt Cincinnati was directed to deposit tho Tolls collected by him in tho Ciiy Bank of Cincinnati. At various limes deposits were mado in this Bank by the Treasurer to procure exchange for the payment of interest and redemption of bonds. 1 ii December, 185 1, (thrije years after Chase's letter was written, lomomber,) thisJaek laded lo uuct the drafts, given tho Treasurer for tiie amount of sjTl),-811,95."
