T]ie Deplorable Situation of Kansas, . we ]j known to the most casual readers affairs that Northern emigrants cf M'nVss into the territory through the Missouri. Wberecver they essay it, St3t , e or in companies, they arc met by an or ''"'"V i mob, disarmed, plundered of their ef ":'UlZ'a-ul driven back. All approach from i nter is at an end. Some companies •' - . -uc-ceeded in making their way into Kan ' ! tlifou-h the northern frontiers of the ter ' - • after traversing the long, circuitous and riW :i;,;,v inconvenient route through the of lowa. But the Missouri bandits numbers to arrest the march of peace frS/rration from that quarter also. A ear ,l;ile is thus drawn around the hither . , >i')le parts of tbc territory. Mean i'!'Larder ruffianism is rampant within.— /r,'\ men and others in the pro-slavery in pitch tLc'ir camps in certain eommand ,'i Kiilities, and from thence make continual r Ivs 'oii the Free State settlers, driving them v'tbeir claims, plundering and purloining ,?. r prnp<.rty, and sometimes even murdering •Vm in cold blood. A drunken soldier bets a , of hoots, that when he comes back from ; .nui he will bring with him a free soil r ,jC CttiGJ * - While goin# out, he meets a man (a I'Vi't stranger to him,) riding in a buggy, deliberately shoots him through the ,'l takes off his scalp and leaves the corpse • ; road. He returns to the camp and his .1 j',. "unwhipt of justice nay, it is ! v'even noticed, anv more than if he had put , • through the head of a pole-cat steal r along tiie public ways. That is but a ~ linen of border ruffian outrages, of cvery • occurrence Hie ill-fated territory of k', x , outrages committed both directly by a nnder the protection of those lawless en ' ;,ientsof banditti, who respect no rights 1 • |i r .jjHrtv or of life, and spare neither the . 'i.lri-sue.-s of old age and infancy nor female jionor. Incensed bv some fresh and wholesale pro , ....pons of this kind, the Free State settlers with u" protection but God and their own - Jit arms undertook to break up one or two , ■ :!:<• most notorious of these nests of robbers j r ;-.idiers and murderers, and were successful the und'TtVnig. At the close of the brief .-impugn, governor Shannon went to Law r no- to confer with tbc Free State men, and ■i-'iifcreiicc ended iu s> treaty of peace, an . vlninge of pr T -■oners, ami an adjustment of - ..".it difficulties. But a few soft puttings of the hand on the crest of the serpent, have >t changed its nature. The powers of dark - are moved afresh to destroy the settlers i 0 arcojip' -ed to slavery, and to complete the si king and overthrow of that folorn hope of , ~i|. in. the city of Lawrence. At the last, .•..nuts, all the pro-slavery elements of the i were beleaguering the city : and, all ,r the S'nte of Missouri, companies were or .s/iag to march into the territory and ally • ciiisrlvei with the ruffians. The folds of the j ;v -nake are coiling closer and closer around J victim, and perhaps even now the fatal g l:a-])ei-.etrated its heart. What business • Missouri to invade Kansas with armed .rrhs to crush out its infant liberties? The N i bill, (itself originating with the eue - of freedom in Kansas,) providedlbat the adjustment of its internal affairs should be 1 it i the decision of the people residing in i> territory. But Missouri takes UJKMI her - if to lie the arbiter of the destiny of Kan- 1 and that, not by peaceful, moral methods, 'illy fire and sword, by wholesale frauds and iiM-tiiited violence. An army of Missou seized on the polls, and elected the so : 1 legislature of Kansas ; did litis avowed ly openly, and even boastfully. Missouri lias the same thiug at the subsequent elec -- in Kansas. Her prominent men have ' I all these plots ami assaults against --.'will. Citizens of Missouri lawlessly seized iiiuveruor Robinson and other prominent Kansas leaders, while passing through that Mate. Missouri constitutes itself one great k'trieatle against Northern emigration into be? territory, iu utter defiance of ail law and right, witU a despcr.itcness of ruffianism, beyond the reach of language to jiortray. She e heen omnipresent in ail the internal affairs "t Kansas doing what wrong and evil she uGiti. ami instigating and upholding the out rsges which she herself did not directly com wt.aial which, but for her would have been ff etuaily suppressed by the Free tState men iicmsi-lves. And now, the same Missouri, is ""•■ling new armies to annihilate the remains F tl." Free State party in Kansas. Perhaps, tin- day, through her power, the black llag *av<, in triumph over the smoking ruins of I wreij.-e, and over the blood of its few, but -"''ant citizens, poured out in defence of their from whence can the people of Kansas ex pert any holji ? When we attempt to answer % question. the darkness grows still deeper, jh'y a miracle saved tlie Israelites when the va stretched before them, and the hosts 'iii'iietive Pharaoh compassed them about. •i ; the a ire of miracles is passed. And tiie of Kansas, thus hemmed in, can searce v 'i a single ray of hope from any human * lr •• '1 heir committee have applied to the ' of the United States ami what is his lllSA '"r to tliem '! He gives them a deliberate . . He tells them that the government not tin- power to protect emigrants on the 5 : to the territory, because of the jnrisdic ' t the States, which alone have cognizance outrages committed on their soil. (Alas, -if redress that they will find in Missouri • ::rts -) lie tells them besides, that the gov - I uaent lias no power to prevent or punish arongs perpetrated within the territory, ; "it through the civil arms or by martial " and that the military force of the govcru '"iti only lie employed by the civil anthor '-f the territory. That is, they must lay 'jt' r case before the courts of Kansas, if they re protection or redress. As well might '*'■ i-nt and bleedinglunib apply for protection r, dn<s to the wolf that had torn and it. Resides, that course would be a ■'■•" acknowledgement of the jurisdiction of iiorities, which the hordes of Missouri "ritihad thrust upon Kansas; a yielding a '[ principle, of their own sacred rights ' the freedom of the territory forever.— citizens who know their duty to . 'Vcs, to their country and posterity, ncv ], " l!l m:, ke such acknowledgement, never.—- , •! ihe abase, ignoble surrender of the , -ceeof the territory, to any lawless mobs '■'' night seize upon it to carry their own !" ,r -'tc schemes. A committee from the in ' - its of Eawreiiec applied also to Wood —e acting Governor. And his reply was : " c strain with the President's, that if *'oM acknowledge those laws (the laws "" j'gidature, foisted upon them by a inviiriuu he would protect them, and disperse the mob. That submission to the lawless acts of the String-fellow and Atchison slavery extensionists, is the sole condition on which the people of Kansas, in this dark hour of their need, can hope for protection and re dress. The authorities of the nation, and of the territory, give them to the wild fury of the mo'\ unless they submit without terms. What hope is there besides ? If they un dertake to protect themselves, and put forth manly vigorous efforts for this purpose, then they arc decried even here at the North as fa natics and faetionists ; and men with an un * blushing face, (but whoever heard of dough that did blush ?) charge all the evils and dis turbances in Knnsas upon them, affirming that there would be no trouble whatever if they ou lv submitted ; the caut phrase of despotism in all ages and countries. If they but submitted, there would be no trouble ! And what des perate men they are, indeed, to resist the law less aggressions of border ruffianism. And if they look to the people of the whole country for redress through the ballot-box, a mighty cry goes up from dough lips and dough heads', about sectional agitation. Because they urc opposed to having slavery introduced into the teMntory, they are abolitionists, and all wh# would unite with them to prevent its introduc tion there, are abolitionists. And if we re sisted the forcible introduction of it into Pennsylvania, we would be called abolitionists who would do better to mind our own business and not exasperate the patrons of slavery ex tension. The faith of sacred compacts was violated in repealing the Missouri Compromise. They told us, however, that there was no in tent ion of carrying slavery into the territories; and many were beguiled with smooth words. And now with lire and sword, they are carry ing it there, against the will of the people of Kansas ; but we must not resist them, even by the peaceful and constitutional method of the ballot box. We are dangerous agitators and scctionalists, if we do. It passes belief, that there can be any among us so besotted with partisanship, that, for the sake of party tri umph, they can tamely surrender all the sacred rights of the North, the fundamental princi ples of onr republican liberty, and aid in tramp ling down their brethren in distant Kansas.— They have no praise for the noble valor of those heroic men, who have stood like the three hundred in Thermopylae, guarding the liberties of their country and the rights of mankind ; not a word of praise, but a torrent of bhune. The only sin, in their eyes, seem to be resistance to the extension of slavery.— It is a sin for which no penalty is too great. It is a sin which justifies nil the Draconian astrocity of Kansas laws, and all the outrages which have poured their volcanic lava over that devoted soil. The government will not help them. It is considered wrong for them to help themselves, and exceedingly sectional and disorganizing for the people to interfere in their behalf through the ballot box. Their situation is deplorable indeed, it reminds us of the man who, at the time of a wreck, was east out of the life boat by his companions, lie laid hold of the rim of the boat with one hand, but that was cut off. He lost his other hand in the same way. lie then used the stump of his right arm, which was immediately severed at the shoul der. The other stump fared as badly. One resource was left to him, and he seized hold of tlie edge of the boat with his teeth ; and they 1 cut off his head, which effectually ended all , attempts to save his doomed life. The .Mis- j souriansaml slave propagandists have cut off ! the hands and the arms of poor Kansas, strug gling for existence ; and our Union-alarmists at the Nor.li, deny the last and the only re source left to that doomed territory, the inter position of the people in their behajf. May God hehl it. For if through such means slave ry triumphs there, it will inevitably triumph over all the territories. Jf the people of Kan sas are not shielded, there is no protection to anv part of the country against the most furi ous outbreaks of slavery fanaticism. If the country will not lie moused by the infinite wrongs that have been done, and the outrages that have been committed in connection with Kansas, that they will sleep and be submissive under any aggressions that may follow.—l'hil adrlphia North.

Geary, is to the following effect : If the militia, which previous orders sent by Col. Emory made subject to the requisition of Gen. Smith, are not sufficient for the exigency, Mr. Marcy wishes to IK; notified by telegraph, remarking that the insurrectionary invasion of Kansas byway of Nebraska, and tbc sub sequent hostile attack on the post-office at Franklin and on the dwellings of Titus and Clark, seem to have stimulated to unlawful acts of the same character on the border of .Missouri, and that the President experts Gov. Geary to maintain the public peace, and bring to punishment all acts of violence or disorder, by whomsoever perpetrated, relying on his en ergy and discretion, and the approved capaci ty, decision and coolness of character of Gen. Smith, to prevent or suppress all attempts to kindle civil war in the Territory. The telegraphic despatch from the War De partment to Gen. Smith, bears date Sept. 9th, acquainting him that it is the purpose of the President to secure him all the militia force necessary to maintain order and supprcsss in surrection, and that no military ojierations shall lie carried on in Kansas otherwise than under his instructions and orders. Hence ho is instructed not to permit the employment of militia or any armed laxlies of men unless they have been regularly mustered into the service of the United States. jfeiY" Mr. Grow is meeting with a most cor dial reception among his constituents in this County. The meetings which he adiircsscd at Great Rend, Susquehanna Depot, Gibson, Lathrop, Brooklyn Ac., were all well attended and en thusiastic. At Susquehanna Depot there were 1500 present, and the liveliest enthusiasm for Fremont and Freedom was exhibited. Among our Northern hills, the fires of free dom are lightly blazing. AVc are confident that the cause of freedom will triumph in No vember ; but how are the people of Kansas to be preserved from their blood-thirsty oppres sors in the mean time ? For them the present prospect is dark indeed. — Independent Repnb. tea)- The Union (Washington) received the first news from Maine with some incredulity and an air of cool indifference, remarking that " the strong Democratic districts remain to be heard from: 1 When The Union hears from those districts will it lie good enough to let us know t — X.

FREMONT AT THE SOUTH. —A slaveholder writes a long letter to the New- York Daih/ Times , from Atalauto, Gcogia, emphatically endorsing the nomination of Fremont and Day ton, and expressing an earnest desire for their election. lie says that he is a permanent re sident of Georgia, owns half a dozen slaves, was born in a Slave State, does not believe the people of the North wish to deprive him of his property, regards slavery as anything else than a blessing, thinks the whole white race would be happier and better without it, and thus speaks of the existence of a Fremout party at the South:— " And as to the forming of <v Fremont party in every Slave State, I do not hesitate to say it could l>c done with ease, if mobs were out of the way. And it could be clone, if necessa ry, in spite of mobs. A few brave hearts could do the work anywhere. But, misrepresented as Fremont has been, I will not say that he could get the electoral vote of any Slave State. Vet it is beyond all doubt that he could got thousands of the people's votes in every one of these States. I will go further. I will say that in twelve months from now there will be a Republican party in every Southern State. Such a party will not be based upon hostility to the vested rights of any man or any class of men. It will have for its object the introduc tion, among our people, of fraternal feelings towards their fellow citizens of every section, and of a system of rational jiolitics."
