I have concluded to post you in relation to
political matters in this county which if
deemed swthy of a place inyour columns I
may continue from time to time.
On Thursday 2nd inst. the defunct car-
cass of "Know-Nothingisra in this region
round about made one of those spasmodic
efforts dlnoting the appearance of returning
Kfe the first since the party received its
death-blow on the first Monday in August
which is always regarded as a certain fore-
raaner of final dissolution. A few davs
previous the public places in the town of
Hantsvule were adorned with large bills
announcing that a "great mass meeting"
was te came off at which time "Gen. Sam
Houston d other' were to address the
faithful. The appointed day arrived and
the assembled crowd repaint to the Baptist
ehurch where after waiting ome time
Sam Houston made his appearance but the
"others" did not arrive. This great embodi-
ment of Know-Xothingism in Texas mount-
ed the rostrum and proceeded to empty
the vials of his wrath on the heads of the
"modern Pemoeracy" without stint or
measure ondeavoring throughout his speech
of about three hours by an act of special
pleading to justify himself as n consistent
JJfmocrat and for having opposed the Nebraska-Kansas
Act and Iub vote on the
Oregon question for which he has justly
received the condemnation of the South.
.seemingly conscious of betraying the inter
ests of his constituents. He attempted to
smooth the matter over by Eophistry en-
deavoring to make the worse appear the
better cause. "A servant that l-noweth his
master's will and doeth it not should be beaten
with many stripes." What would you sup
pose Messrs. Editors this grave Senator
arced as disaualifvinir James Buchanan for
holding the office of Chief Magistrate of
this Union nothing more nor less than
being a batchelor !
" Oh for a lath in every honest band
To scourge him naked through tho land."
For having the misfortune to be guilty of
fo grave an offence wuich tJie speaker con-
tended would prevent him from appreciating
the feolings and wants of the public. A
friend at my elbow suggested the idea that
he might be better off in his present situa-
tion than to have too many wives particu
larly if they were composed of a variety of
own.
en. Uass. Jefier&on Davis i'resiucnt
Pierce &c. were arraigned before the
speaker's tribunal and severally demolished
in a style peculiar to himself and particu-
larly satisfactory to the kindred K. N. spir-
its that composed his audience. It will
doubtless be recollected that in Houston's
letter so triumphantly paraded through the
oolumns of tr.e K. N. prints "defining his
position" in expectation of receiving the
nomination at the Philadelphia Convcnion
he spoke of "that great statesman and pa-
triot Gen. Cass" as endorsing his prescrip-
tive views in relation to foreigners. When
thatagod veteran and standard bearer of De-
mocracy discovered Houston's attempt to
identify him with the principles of thoK. N.
party he denied over his own signature
any connection or sympathy for such odious
principles; consequently Houston's lauda-
tions have turned to denunciations. What
he may say or has said to injure the repu-
tation of Jefferson Davis will effect but
little.
The speaker endeavored by appealing to
the baser passions that occupy tho human
breast to arouse all the hatred and preju-
dice of his audience against tho poor for-
eigner and Catholic ; and here I for the
first time heard that tho "revolution of Texas
was a crusade against the Catholic religion.
I had always thought the Catholics and
Protostautsfoughtsidebysideforthepurpose
of becuring to Texan a frco government and
against the tyranny of the Dictator Santa
Ana. Gen. Houston or history one or the
othor must be in faultin this particular. The
massacre of the Alamo was shamefully drag-
ged forth to prove his position and the hor-
rors of that heart-rending scene were attribu-
ted to the Catholic power. Verily a cause
must bo truly desperate that prompts men to
enter the eileut rcposo of tho dead and tear
thorn from their winding sheets to make
political capital.
The closing sceno of this great "mass
meeting" was occupied in traducing the
Democratic party for insulting the nalics of
Gon. Jackson. I for one was truly at a
loss to know at what particular time the
Democracy had been guilty of so ungener-
ous a crime. As far as my knowledge ex-
tended I had supposed that renowned
statesman was the polar star and guide of
Democratic faith. When the proof of this
was attempted to be made it consisted in
wading what purported to be an extract
from some paper In Kentucky in which
the old hero was traduced for writing a
letter to President Polk advising him not
to appoint James Buchanan a member of
his cabinet Does any one suppose that if
Gen. Jackson had produced proof of Bu-
chanan's unworthincss Polk would have
oonfored on him the appointment? Or
that the old General would have attempted
such a thing without sufficient evidence to
satisfy him that such was a fact ? This
slander like a thousand and one others has
been manufactured from whole cloth to le
used on the eve of the election. If it should
evon prove true that some obscure editor
had undertaken on his own responsibility
to insult-thc ashes of that Democratio Fath-
er it would be tho heighth of absurdity to
hold the party responsible. It illustrates
one thing beyond tho power of contradiction
that K- JS". orators are hard up for material
to work on outside of home manufacture;
and another fact is equally as plain that it
would not be the first Jiwfasthat has trou-
bled the Democratic party. Drowning men
will catch at sttaws. BEPORTFR.
If Gen. Houston would read Judge Catron
letter be wfll find that Andrew Jackson was in
fcroror Mr.Bochantn fcribe Presidency previous
to the telectiea or Mr. Polk. EDS. Gaz.

Gentlemen : Enclosed"pleasefind a list
of the votes cast at this place torJudge and
District Attorney for the ntlil&udicial
District. ?:
The Know-Nothing party during the
canvass doclared their unwillingness to
make it a political race up to within a few
days of the election ; when by a secret
undermining trick showed their hostility
to Hon. E. IL Vontress by throwing off
in many places all the other know-nothing
candidates texcept Houghton sending out
certificates to almost every part of the Dis-
trict purporting to be signed by democrats
in connection with know-nothings that
Houghton was the strongest manJnjjainst
Yon tress the only democratic candidate.
Andwhatmakeij it clearer to our mind that
someslandestine movements have been
going on in other sections the Gazette
failed to make its usual appearance by to-
day's mail which affords ample evidence to
the belief that it has been suppressed from
this office and perhaps every other precinct
in the District. No doubt fearing that the
unwarranted onslaught made by the Times
on the Hon. E. H. Vontress might receive
ascvere castigation and merited rebuke from
the hands of the Gazette. Can you give us
the reason of the failure &c.
Yours truly
We are at the same loss as yourself to

A FILLMORE DOCUMENT
i Fillmore a1 Better rracsoil&r 'than
1 Fremont.
Who is HiEAsr Ketchtjm ? Ono of
the loading Fillmore Champions in New
York the well known personal and political
friand of Millard Fillmore. Ha w tho itin-
erant stump speaker in the Northern States.
He was one of the leading men in the late
lid line Whig National Convention at Bal-
timore and was specially appointed in that
august assembly to read suitable extracts
from Washington's Farewell Address. We
have to announce to the people of Texas
that the Fillmore party of New York have
put "forth from the office of tho New York
Express a Documont for the Canyasj and
are now distributing them by hundrods o
thousands containing the following letter
from Mr. Hibjoi Ketcqcm to the Editor
of the New York Courier one of Fremont's
organs in whioh letUr it will be soon that
he boldy compares the well known and no-
torious tree soil proclivities of Fillmore
with the Black Republicanism of Mr.
Fremont and claims for Mr. Fillmore the
merit of being the best freeaoiler of the
two!
Whon wo reflect that on Pennsylvania
ana lnaiana these two parties aro unuea in
running candidates for Congress and on tho
State ticket : whon wo look at the course of
Bates of Missouri Bolts of Yirginia and
Winter Davis of Maryland ami Sam Hous-
ton of Texas the embodiment of tho South-
ern Fillmore party andhear them proclaim-
ing submission to Fremont if he should be
elected wo may well say that to trust to Mr.
Fillmore is to botrny the South into tho
hands of its worst enemies; What broke
up the Whig party was the unsoundness of
the Northern portion of it and in the K.
N. party which has arisen on its ruins we
have a combination with the North far
more dangerous to" the Republic than over
before existed.
It is but a short time ago that a Fillmore
Elector in Virginia wrote to Mr Fillmore to
know what he would do as President with
a b: 11 to restore tho Missouri Compromise.
In 'cturn he received a copy of his speeches
at Albnnyand Rochester. In thesespeccheg
itas well knownt that lie denounces tho re
peal of tho Missouri Compromise in the bit
terest terms but is silent on the subject of
a remedy. To denounce an ovil and not
seek its removal is incompatible with tho
character of n reformer such as Mr. Fill-
more holds out that ho is. That Eleotor
we learn resigned his office at once satis-
fied of Mr. Fillmore's duplicity nnd equivoca-
tion. Tho facts detailed in tho following
letter from Mr. Fillmore's itinerant political
friend confirms tho worst suspicions. But
when such men as Dunn tho Fillmore Eleo
tor in Indiana who voted to tho last against
supplies for our army to make Kansas a
free soil State ; as Winter Davis of Mary-
land who voted for Banks for Speaker and
such submissionista as Bates Houston and
Botta take the lead true Southern men
may well fly from the Fillmore party with
loathing nnd disgust.

FUItnoro'a Vosltlou Denned by Illrnm
Kctcliutn..
To tHe Editors of the jVcw York Courier
and Enquirer: In your leading article of
Saturday morning you havo seen fit to make
free use of my name connecting it with
imputations whioh I feel bound to-ropeL
In my Bnecch at New Haven speaking of
tho subject of slavery extension I said
" But I do not intend to ignore that sub-
ject on this occasion. If there is any mnn
here or in the State of Connecticut that
has ever opposed the extension of -slavery
more than he who addresses you to-night
or has ever done more to ijive the slave his
leffaland constitutional rights then would
like to see that man. (Applause.) Gen-
tlemen I attached myself in early life to
that party which was always and ever op-
posed to tho oxtonsion of slavory. And 1
say hero to-night Uiat the Whig party of
the Aorta has always had that creed and
those Republicans can't talco out a patent
for it for manya longyear (merriment and
applauso) and I SAY THAT MILLARD
FILLMORE HAS BEEN TRUE TO
THAT PARTY AND nAS NEVER
HAD SINCE HE ENTERED INTO PO-
LITICAL LIFE ANY OTHER PRIN-
CIPLE BUT THAT WHIOH WOULD
PREVENT THE FURTHER EXTEN-
SION OF SLAVERY- (Applause.)
But upon this subject of the extension
of slavery what are Mr. Fillmore's princi-
ples J" Why he thinks as ice alt think. X
will venture to say if my friend will allow
me to use his name that the Rev. Dr. Tay-
lor of this city now present and Mr. Fill-
more should sit down together they would
not disagree a particle and I only exempli-
fy by these distinguished persons the com-
mon feeling of the North. They think
alike thev would act alike. Now what
is Mr. Pillmore's opinion upon tho present
crisis. I read from ono of his recent
speeches :
"I have no hesitation in saying that
most of you know already that I teas decid-
edly opposed to the repeal of that Jfissouri
Compromise. Good faith as well as the
peace of the country seemed to require that
a compromise which had stood more than
thirty years should not be wantonly dis-
turbed. Those were my sentiments then
fully and freely expressed verbally and'
:n writing to all my friends North and
South who solicited my opinion- This re-
peal seems to have been a Pandora's box
out of which have issued all the political
evils that now afflict the country and scarce-
ly leaving a hope behind. Many I per-
ceive are ready to impute all- the blame to
our Southern brethren. But-is this just?
No no 1 It must bo borne in mind that
the measure originated witli a Northern
Senator and was sustained and sanctioned
by a Northern President" (Applause.)
"Now my friends what would Mr.
Fillmore do ? Well I cannot undertake to
say what he would do but in my judgment
HE "WOULD EXERCISE ALL HIS
POWER AND LNFLUENOEIN FAVOR
OF LIMITING SLAVERY TO WHERE
IT IS. In my judgment he would do all
he could to see fair play la Kansas and if
he would do as I shouldrccommend to him
Kansas should not be admitted as a State
under two years from this date. We have
had enough of admitting of these unfledged
States. I am utterly opposed to admitting
any other States : since we have admitted
ffalifomia. until we see how she behaves
herself as a Territory and whether the
.people are capable of governing-themselves.
Thrfo're upon this subject I- bclieu Jfr
ix lunrerc w sjf "nv
I would not'adTocaio him here to-night if I
did not "
But tovery word that I then said I stand
and shall eay it again. I support Mr.'FUl-
mot9forthe Presidency lecause ofMrvefl
knoicn anlecedenti as a pvblieman andbe-
cauu I HAVE SEEN NO EVIDENCE
THAT HE REJECTS THOSE ANTE-
CEDENTS and because lam satisfied that
he abides by those antecedents and dis-
tinctly places himself upon them bofore the
countrv.
What are his antecedents on the subjtet of
the extension of slavery? lou know themti
gentlemen as well as I do THEY HAVE
EVER AND ALWAYS BEEN OPPOS-
ED TO THE EXTENSION OF SLAVE-
RY. While he was in public life that was
a settled question under the Missouri Com
promise. Uy tnis uompromis'.' an terri-
tory north of 36 30' was made free terri-
tory and nil south might be made slave
territory. The only questions thorefore
upon which his principles upon the subject
of tho extension of slavery could be tested
wer6 questions as to the acquisition of Ter-
ritory which must become slave Torritory.
TO SUCH ACQUISITION MR FILL-
MORE AND THE WHOLE WHIG
PARTY AT THE NORTH WERE OP-
POSED. I have shown above what were
Mr. Fillmore's opinions to the repeal of tho
Missouri Compromise.
Now the only question is : Mas lie cJiang-
ed these well known opinions? Ilathealier'
edhis position f
He has accepted the nomination of the
American Party. I have never been a
member of any party but the Whig party.
When ho received tho nomination he was
in Europe where Jsehad been many mouths
previous. The platform of tho principles of
that party accompanied the letter inform-
ing him of his nomination and requesting
his acceptance of the same. He replied to
that letter while in Europe. Ho must I
admit be regarded ris giving his general ap-
proval of tho platform upon which his
friends nominated him. Now gentlemen
I ask you to publish that PLATfOHM OR
ANY CLAUSE OR PARAGRAPH OF
IT IN WHIOH BY A FAIR CON-
STRUCTION Mn. FILLMORE HAS
REPUDIATED ANY OF HIS ANTE-
CEDENTS UPON THE EXTENSION
OF SLAVERY. You did not quote that
platform but one of a prior date and with
the history of wliich I have no knowledge.

Tho army reached Franklin on Sunday
night 14thj and went into camp The
next day Gov. Geary camo down and a
council was held with nil the officers of tho
army Gov. Geahy at ouco requested that
Gen. Reid should comply with his procla-
mation which is herewith sent.
Tho council was held in the Htore house
of Dr. Skillick whom tho abolitionists
robbed of ull his goods and S5000 in monoy
and who is himself now lying at the polut
of death from sickness brought on by their
outrageous treatment of mm. Gov. Geahy
rose and spoke. Ho addressed tho council
in a mild and gentlemanly mnunor and told
them what ho wished. Ho wautod them
to disband and go homo and should he
need their services and find the force at his
command inadequate he would call them
out and Gen. Smith would enroll them ;
that hoTwasdoteruiincd to enforco tho laws
to putowritho villain and crush out Lane's
army df .marauders as ho properly styled
them. It was his desire as his determina-
tion to establish pcaco and secure every
man in his rights and property. He urged
those present by all that was dear to them
and sacred to patriotism to comply remark-
ing that "though hold in n board-House
the present was the most important council
since tho days of the revolution as its issues
involved n dissolution ot tlio Union it pro-
duced." Gen.ATOiiiNSON made a characteristic
speech. Ho reviewed the ravages of Lane's
men tho outrageous conduct of tho Aboli-
tionists in driving away pro-slavery men
from tho Torritory and conoluded by say-
ing that it was a painful duty but yet a
duty he could not evade to comply with
the request of tho Governor. He said he
was not prepared though ho differed with
the Governor to resist his authority "that
to me had not como yot he liopod it
would not come ;" but he (Gov. Geary)
would have to be successful beyond all ex-
pectation if he did not fihd himself greatly
deceived and that u different policy would
have to be pursued. He would retire to liis
home at Atchinsou and await patiently a re-
sult which he feared the Governor would
never witness that of bringing Lane and
company into subjection' to the law without
whipping them.
General Reid said that he came to Kan-
sas from Missouri it was useless and he
did not wish to deny that to aid those who
were bone of 'his bone and flesh of his flesh
in conquering a peace that would secure
liberty and prosperity to therm He came
and found that there was an Executive in
the Territory willing and able to afford Ins
friends ample protection in both and even
if he could not afford them protection it was
not for him to resist the laws and make
himself a traitor ; he would not do it. He
wanted to see tho Abolitionists put down
and believed as ho hoped that Gov. GeAry
would do it. To resist him wonld be plac-
ing the prorslavcry party in the very posi-
tion which they denounce the Abolitionists
for occupying.
Col. Titus Mr. Huohes Col. Young
Gen. Clark' Capti'SnELBY and others
spoke. Col. Titus referred feelingly to his
treatment at the hands- of Lane. They
wounded him robbed him burnt his house
down even took and kept the oil-painted
portrait of his wife's mother who is dead.
Col. T. is from Florida and came out last
spring hrincing his family. In her far off
home Mrs. T. valued as very precious the
portrait of her dead mother. Was it not
cruel to take from herthe;- last emblem of
maiernai love J uen. ulakk. saiu ne
thought tha time had come for us to take
the means of protection in pur own hands
and fight it out but he had confidence in
Gov. Geary and would yield gracefully
to his policy.
It was agreed that the Go-vernor should
retire and await the decission of the coun-
cil. A committee was appointed to inform
Gov. Geary of the decision memorializing
him in relation to some of our peculiar trou
bles and set forth tho facts of tho case tot
the world. They will bo published offici-
ally soon. Perhaps the committee will send
them to the -ffcpiiiflcatt. In the afternoon.
about 3 o'clock the forces retired to camp
on the Wakarusa. .Alter iupper the forces
were eummoned in .'front of the Goneral's

Gov. Geary had authorized CoL Trrus to
raise three companies of volunteers to be
mustered into service consisting of eighty
men each two companies to be mounted.
About ono hundred enrolled. The battallion
will be completed in a few days.
At 12 o'clock we were aroused and took
up the line of march at one Tuesday morn-
ing makiug Cedar Creek to breakfast and
this place by two o'clock. The army march-
ed from near this place on account of tho
convenience of getting provisions here. The
Leavenworth Kickapoo Atchison and Don-
iohan companies rendezvous also at the
camp near Westport. Thus ends tho last
expedition. Lane had left Lawrence un-
protected; he fled from his fortifications
thore and on the Wakarusa. Our forces
could have destroyed Lawrence ; they could
have successfully for the time resisted the
Ortrprnor. but thov did not : and whatever
may be said of the result it cannot be de-
nied that it vindicated our professions of
law and order " - "
Westport 18th September.
I forgot to mention in my letter of yester-
day that Gov. Geary had captured with a
company of Dragoons ninety-six of the
Lane party under arms and holds them
for trial. He is carrying ino wur mw Si-
rica. Gov. Reeder and Gerritt 'Smith
had much better use their money for Tre-
3IONT as his case is now hopeless and it
will be throwing money away if it is sent to
Lane. Gen. Lane is at this timo plunder-
ing the people on hi3 route back towards
Nebraska. When last heard from he was
ravaging the Grasshopper Creek country.
The Governor has sent the troops after him
and they will bring him back it is to be
hoped.
Of course there are hundreds of people
who havo been run off from their claims who

for them to do so. Tho next thing is to
prepare foMhc election which takes place
on the first Monday iu October two weeks
from this tiuic short notice. Many of
the counties have made uo nominations yet.
Some of them perhaps will not be represen-
ted at all. The Governor will issue his
Proclamation in a few days and tho pro-
slavery party will take active steps to or-
ganize thoroughly. The Abolitionists if
truo to thoir professions will not vote at all.

Westport Sept. 19f 1855f
Gov. Geary has gone it tho head of
several companies of dragoons in search of
Lane. He is determined to arrest him if
ho is in the Territory. That' is doing the
tiling well. A fault of Gov. Shannon
was indolence. He would not see an order
or wish executed. Gov. GEARYgoes and
aces the writ on Lane executed in porsou.
This augers of success. The Abolitiouists
we have just learned have sent off Mr. S.
L. McKinney's wagons they took from
his Santa Fe traius to Iowa loaded with
stolen goodi. What is to bo said of such
n party ? It robs the highways nnd its
members who commit the robbaries run off
tolowa to escape I
But this is not the only case of robbery.
Ono was committed a few days since revol-
ting in tho extreme. Mr. George Great-
house and n' friend were in advance of
Gen. Reid's army near Franklin two mon
rodo up to them pretended to bo pro-plavery
and invited them to go up in town. They
started offtogothor and as they were about
entering tho place Greathouse was shot
through tho head by ono of tho assassins
and both commenced firing on the other
but fortunately missed him. They then
got down from their horses and these re-
presentatives of the poor persecuted Free
State party deliberately robbed the body of
two thousand and ton dollars the exact sum
in possession of Greathousk. Ho had
counted his money in the morning with n
view of sivinc it to his Captain " for safe
keeping. I have seen and conversed with
thos'j who saw the money counted and also
saw tho rugamuffins take off tho poor fellow's
pantaloons boots and sock?. His shirt was
saturated with blood and they left that on
tho hod'. Wo wear shirts of flannel in-
stead of coats on those campaigns. This
act of barbarity was committed within the
sight of the advanced guards a milo off
who saw it all but could not assist Great-
house because they had peremptory orders
to remain where they wore till the main
body came up. Greathouse was former-
ly from Kentucky Danville I believe and
was an intelligent and very popular young
man. Ho was buried with the honors of
war in a coarse unplained box which was
all the coffin that could bo got. He sleeps
in tho open prairie near Flanklin which
was lately attacked by Lane its pro-slavery
inhabitants driven off and itself looking
like a dilapidated castle tenantless of every
thing but rats and screech owls. The elec-
tion is approaching. H. C. P.
