tar Reports from Washington state that
the fltume+3 report will embrace anew filature

length, eltaracter,levenues and expenditures,
of about - three-fourths, of the'toacia in the :U.
states, ; I ,l'hesa figures %sill contradict the
popular. igles that Northern roads alone are
successful. The most profitable roads in the
Union, except two or - thtie in the West, -Are
in Virginia, North and South Carolina and
;Georgia.', Twin willnstonish the Banks achoOl
of politicians. it,will also mote . fully expose
the untenable position taken by Mr. Grow, in
his last Court speech. He asserted that the
South, on account of the blighting influence
ofslave labor, a ff orded no surplus Agricultural
prodticeand,per'consequence,internal improve
tneuts'were not and could not be successful—
that in fact they were not needed. We showed
that the South from the products of
.Cotton
and Tobacco alone ftirnished the greatest por
tion of articles for exportation, and the natur
al•infereno would be that internal improve
tnents werti needed to convey these and other
prod octal tO the shipping ports.
Fps.
This report will therefore. completely -turn
the whole arguMent of Mr. Grow against him
self,. wad ,show that he was either grossly ig
nerant of the facts, or that he intended to mis
lead the' public mind, by representing the
South as a useless, cumbersome portion of the
Union. ' The people of Susquehanna County
bare been imposed upon by such kind of
twaddle otoo long already.. They are called
tcgetber regularly for the ostensible purpose
of holding a court of justice, but the first-bu
siness has been for the Judge and others to dis
charze a valley of abuse upon the people of
the Southern section of the Union, slid all at
the North who are not worshippers at the
shrine of sectional fanaticiim.
This abuse has 'Peen carried on so long that
the wire pullers perhaps vainly imagine
that anything they may be reckless enough
to assert will be swallowed by for truth.
PerhaPs it will by many of the, ank and file
of the fusion party, but Wilmot, Grow & Co.
may as well understand distinctly that there
are a few people here who dare to think for
themselves, and also to expose to the public
tlieir wild, teckless perversions ;of facts. Of
course we bold to the position that a Judge
cannot, without violating the trust reposed in
him, take an active part in 'pOlitical affairs,
especially When surrounded by ;those between
whoin he is sworn to decide impartially.-='-

It is petty near tirne.that . the people of
theStates--Eas. WeA,North, South-- should
te.made to understand that a Material differ- •
ence exists , between the free Slate Settlers of I
Kansas and the Black RepaLlicrin or Fremont
nted of that Territory, and, that the true con- i
dition of affairs is not precisely what ince- I.
rested parties have represented.
The hired letter writers, (and they are nu
inerous,) of the last named•disunion faction,
have labored unweirriedlY, and without inter
mission, tooonvey the idea that they have ,1
the sympathies nod encourgement of - all Ike
Free • Elate : citizens of Kansas, than which '
nothing is farther from the truth. The ma
jority of the latter are opposed to Fremont
and his Black Republican party, and their
unlawful and outrageous acts; and always
regarded the eleCtion of Fremont to
,the
('Presidency - as the greatest calamity that could
have ..befallen. themselves, Kansas, and the

ink from the Territory of such agitators and
di*org,anizers, as the paid agents of the Black
Republican * faction. 'These, men were pro-
perly considered by all hone:4 citizens as
enemies to the Territory, whose sole object.
was their own advancement to the United
States Senate, and other important.poiition,
for which- they were. neither morally nor edu-
nationally fitted. They came, into the Terr i:
tory without having or feeling any interest
in its prOperity, to subserve their own ,am
bitioug purposes and personal interests,
and were supported; and enriched whilst
there by funds rai=ed by "Emigrant Aid So
cieties," touch of which was contributed by
honest men,- - with good motive.,' and for
worthy objects. Carriages and horses for the
leading spirits, and caution, rifles, " muskets,
swords, fifes, drums, and all-the munitions
and paraphernalia of
, War, were supplied
with money subscribed by ..‘ Friends," and
other "Peace meri," - to. provide food, clothing,
