MY BRETHREN : There is a prmligi ous odds; a yerygreatdifferenee indeed —between voting to elevate Mr. Fre mont to the Peesideney, and voting fur Mr. Buchanan. The one, as his name indicates, represents the party of free dom the other, the party of slavery. The conjoint question, Shall the un settled territory of the Union he Made into Free States, or shall it be .made into Slave States'? is almost .the only issue—it is the Duly prominent issue, in the .appru4ching Pi esidential can- ME lEell Much has been said of late'respect, iug the wrongs .and the sufferings of the people of the Territory oFhlansis. And no wonder it is has been thus ; for a state of things has exited there so sl ameful awl ItOrtibly dreadful, that one might almOgt expect that if men held their peace, ihe very ground un der their feet.would arise and-ery our, 10,00 Th e g r ea t procu of all the outrages enacted and suirered in that unfortunate territory, haslieen neither more nor Liss than slavery extension. A determined attempt is being. made to establish chattel slavery there-s..iin a word, to make Kansas a slave State And as disriaceful and as - mortifying as the fact really is, the general govern ment of this great republic has in 'va rious ways, actually sanctioned the Border Ruffianism through whiCh all these atrocities hare been Terpett ated it duce, not appear as yet, that even one pro-slavery robber, murderer,_ has been so much as arrested, much less punished, And that most 'diabul ical code of laws made for the people of the Territory, -by. filibusters ft orn Nliisouri and elsewhere, and wlii . ch not only _legalizes slavery there, but pu• ishes in the severest marmot- him who even says that slaveholding is a wrong., our Most worthy (1) "Chief Magistrate assurer; us must and. shall /be sustained and .enfol ca. at what- ever c"st The party that wants to elect Mr. Buchanan, fully declare their "unqual ified admiration of his measures and policy."

And if Kansas comes in thus, making the Slave States a nrijority without the northern doughlaees, then also all else that :is desirahie of the 1..

S. Territory " 011 my brother ! what a iluesti in that fair a man of intelligence and enterprise' and heart; but I'll answer it, . Slavery has impiwerished every state that has ever fostered it. There t is much less wealth in h c e Slave States than in the . Free, thou h the former - have much the most territory now, saying nothing of Kansas, which they connt all the same as theirs.

The dignity and energy of the Roman character, conapiano is in war and in politics, were not easily tamed and adjusted to the arts of industi y and literature. The degenerate and pliant Greeks, on the contrary, excelled•in the handicraft, and polite professions. Wu learn; from the vigor our invective of Juvenal, that they were the most useful and capable of vervants, wheth er as pimps or professors of rhetoric.

STRINGFP.LLOW B.►Nlsuco. — Tne St. Louis Democrat learns that an indig,. nation meeting had been held at Wes ton, last NYeek, at which the bluish: !neva of Stringfellow from Weston and Platto counties, had been resolved Upon. Thecircu nstances which gave rise to.this proceeding, were these: A merchant of -Weiiton, by the nams of R. )ckwell, soma time ago sold out his stock of goods to a firm known as that of Perry 45..- Walker. These gen tlemen, in the exercise of their com mercial liberty, had sold a quantity of flour to certain parties in Kansas. This fact happening to become known to a body of regulators in Platte city, an armed expedition of about one hun dred men, i-sued from that place, and proceeded to Westrin with the avow ed purpoie of arresting and hanging Perry, whom they accused of beitt; an Abolitionist. 0.1 reaching Weston, they' at once placed . themselves under the command of Stringfellow, and marched to the sturq of the parties . against whom they had swam sum na ry vengeance. Mr. Ferry was arrest. ed, and assured that he should ba hung. ljpon this, Mr. 1. 1 . appealed to the people of Weston for justice and pro , tecti,iii, and thw result Shows that ha did not c dcalate" in Vain upon their else of rig'it. -As 'soon as these cir cumstances became generally known, a public meeting Was called, Mr. Per ry was released, and the party from Platte city ordered to leave ,with;n two hours cr a')ida•by the crinseven ces. They then proceeded to dispase of the case of G 7 Oneral Stringfellow, whose course in theliansas diffi - culties they denounced in ist indignantly, and concladei by passing a resolution. re viring him to leave the towo and county forever, giving him' five days to'settle up his affairs. H Yses.—lt appears from an article in the Boston Medicrl and Aargical Journal that " amps" ;era persecu ted formerly with as much zeal as at present.
