Nash & Co., Real Estate Bro kers, Fort *Des' Moines, lowa. The principal Member of the firm, Mr. Nash, is an old an ,Osintanc vend friend of oars ; he is a good lairyer, prompt business man and perfectly :Wlltootle Letter of .ieeeptance. The lergtb of this remarkable document precludes ; its publication in our columns, s.nd we therefore propose to state hriefly, its oentents. , It completely ignores questions of State-policy—the only questions which . can possibly be affected by Mr. Wilmot's election or defeat. The Judge has such a hatted of the South and Southern institutions, and -has d~slt so much itt denuticiation of both, that Seriously doubt his ability to write a let-. ter on iteii subject without ornamenting it with such phrases as " the slave power"—the 41 black o li garchy "' dad others .txplally tie ' gnat and original Since he - failed to win the applause of Southern men, by his effort to'muscitate the 21st rule, which denied to his constituents the right to'ietition Congress ,• oit the subject of !slavery, he has evinced an wareasonable and. morbid dislike \of every thing_south of ' l 4 . lason's and Dixon's line.— ' We presaate however, that his gratuitous ind nugentlemanly attacks upon one half of tie confederacy ; his constant efforts' to al . - ienate one section 'Of our country from' the other, ara made witl . t.„4---selfiuh and wicked • pirpose, and to promote his own ambitions aims. Ills chequered political, areer affords abundant evidence: of his inability t) enter - lain sincere and earnest convictions , on any question affecting the rights and well-being 'of the people. He has the faculty for which all demagogues are distinguished, of spread iing his sails to catch the popular breeze ,and of profiting by the excitements and prejudi ces to which the public mind is occasionally 4ulject. At present he fancies that to imi tate Sumner in vulgar abuse of our Southern brethren ispopular with the people of the iState. On this unfounded supposition he Itie tsaotes nearly the whole of his letter of accep- Aaticate coarse condemnation of the Nation :al.

It would have -beau quite as appr4iiate for him to have • written a treatise on the domestic affairs of lfasiachneetts or South Corlinia,as to discuss the condition and . prospects of Kansas. As ' the Executive of Pennsylvania, be, has just as much authority 4o decide questions for the freemen of Kansas, as he has to depose Louis Napolean—no more. Nor can our State election affect in the remotest degree, ._the domestic institutions of any Territory be longing to the United States. In 1854, we - were assured by the opposition that the -eke ' lion of Pollock would contribute -to the re enactment of the Missouri Compromise. On ••the strength of this delusion, he received a larzemoinler of rotes, - which he would not • other,ise hare obtained. . But Pollock's . e 1 ec i 1 , 31 4: 4 3 6,t wound . sluvery, and Mr. WI. ttiMes edectiow cannot moidd the domestic in ; saltation' of Kansas. This fact he has sense .enocgh to appreciate and we are the j tifwe 'astmus' hed that he should deal ex naively with subjects entirely foreign to- the legiti. rate .issues of a State caravan.

But how does he exemplify his love for. the pioneer ! By denying to - bins the freeman's most sacred tight; the ability to decide for himself under what laws and institutions he will live.= The free laboring man, when he goes to the wilds of the distant West and plants his home-there, is better fit ted to judge what laws are adapted to his wants, than is Mr. Wilmot of Towanda, or the Ametican Congress. In this light the National Democracy contemplates him and therefore secures to him the right of self- . government. Mr. Wilmot and the restless spirits that . . uphold his banner, arrogate to themselves exclusive authority over this emi grant, to legislate for him and control hikdo mestic. affairs. In view of these facts, which organigattioa ia_the true friend of the five la borer Eprroia.. In the 'long letter of this Republican can didate for Governor, wholly devoted to Tres. Lions which will not, and cannot come before the people of this contasonsiealfh C;r settle ment, we have no intimation thit its author means to respect tlsts wishes of his neighbors, political friends and foes, and resign the judgeship. If Lecompte was an unsafe and . tyrannical judicial officer, because of his anti abolitiod - prOclivities, then is David Wilmot an unfit occupant °Mile Bench because be is 'a bitter partisan leader . .. The cohorts of sec tionalism are about to make a _desperate struggle for supretnricy- is this State, with Wilmot at their itead ; in the midst of that struggle, with all the prejudices and animas ities which it will necessarily kindle, oppress. ing him, he cannot be a safe and impartial judicial officer. If his letter of acceptance had Contained an intimation of his intention to resign, it would have gladdened the hearts of the people of thiti district; by that simple act he can win their respect more effectually than he can ever do by his invectives against Southern itfiltutions. The Hawking Wad Peddling Pro hibilion. April Bth, Gov. Pollock approved an act prohibiting hawking and peddling in Susque. banns County. Its provisions are as follows: No perecn_ or persons shall sell, or expose to sale within this County, as a hawker or ped dler,or travelling merchant, any foreign' or domestic goods, wares or merchandise, ender the penalty of fifty dollars for each and every offence ; provided that, the act shall not be so construed as to apply to persons carrying goods for wholesale purposes. At whose in stance this prohibition was enacted, we can not tell; we know very well, however, that the people of the County never demanded it ; and what is more never knew that such pro hibition was contemplated. Iris a species of class legislation ; a law gotten .ep for the benefit of the feW, withott the knowledge or assent of tbe many, and as each we 'con demn it. If, in obedience to the laws of the commonwealth, a man . pays a license for the privilege of vending articles of domestic or foreign mannfactere, what matters it. to the community, Whether he visits the consumer with his merchandise in tin trunks, or erects a building in some village, in which to exhib it and dispose of his wares 1 . The public wants competition in trade ; and s law which in a measure destroys this, will not meet the ap probation of the people. If the hawker and ,peddler will sell his articles at a cheaper rate than the village merchant, then it. is the con sumer's interest to purchase of the former. If he cannot do this, then be will injure the mercantile community very little. In the former case the consuming :public is damag . ed by the law in question'; in the latter, the merchant reaps scarcely , a perceptible profit from it. Did. the . principle of the act accord with our notions of right, we should denounce the manner of its passage. The proposition ass riot laid before the of the County —they had no opportunity to express theii opinion of it, and yet they are affected I.y it. If a few merchants, finding themselves nea r ble to compete 'with the peddlers, wanted to close their trunks and chain the wheels of their carts by . a legislativeact, they ought to bare had the courage to have said so, and in cited the people the County to co operate {:with them in procuring the prohibition. :The sly secret way in which the thing was man aged is disreputal-le. The Republican of last week, in nolmieg the ptartige of the lan, lsays it's understands that •the act is likely. to be so amended that its provisions shall not apply to those who vend articles of • their own production or mantifacture." In connection with this ,propirsed amendment, rumor, has a very pleasant joke. The story goes that one of a certain firm in town, en gaged.in the manufacture of stoves,, appen ded his name to a petition, (circulated secret ly, and - only among the initiated) for the en .acttnent of the.law in question ; not bower ; er unq,be was assured that his business would not be injured thereby- Since the passage of the it is discovered that stove peddleis are in the same boat with hawkers and peddlers of ready made clothing, shawls and calicoes. It is the intention we suppose• to bah the law so amended as to exempt this fatally deceived individual from its ope. ration. Should the effort to procure :the amendment fail, we shall have a home illus tration of the phrase, " are ticere bit." Had the store man been of foreign birth and a =ember of the' pro-slavery Inixaneer" fain; ily, it is quite probable that, those who y en. trapped hiurwould be unrelenting, and Wage to aid in restoring him to his righti. - '' Irby engineering Wit it-this ihapeter through. our Legialatu* - obedient , the wish* ofs few blacic republics* Merchants in **tree, Chime espeeta• to make limatifimptlar, het that be inn fatally. • Nir ItiadkaimpaiOailibi ba#lo43 anti all Ames et adage;.:lra bope glom to vitro that,llll. This Falseboos* 131.istisiry`iisel Aisne of thin Opposition. Every sectional, abolition journal in the country, from the New York Tribune, down to the hdepeedent Republicae, asserts and repeats the lie that the 'democratic party. is the allyand propagator of slavery. This in ked accusation is their " harp_ of a thousand airings," on which they play that" same old lane," at th u g approack of a town; county, State or National 'contest. We demand the evidence—the/ads on which they base the charge ; proof of. its falsity we point them to history ; we show them that the principles which we maintain to-day are those for which the fathers of the Republic battled, in conformity with the constituttor, liberal and just. They sneer at our detnarids; avoid the /lett of history ; treat with con tempt the opinions of our country's departed statesmen, and 'literate the lie ; knowing that on its perpetuation bang` the existence of their party. : ludustrieusly circulated and pertinacionslradhered to, it has already-pro deiced bitterfruit it contributed to place in the executive chair of our State a sworn pro scriptionist, and disgraced the nation with 'a corrupt Ceageess.; it cursed, Kansas with a civil war sad threatened the dismemberment of the confederacy,by arraying section against section. And yet with these, its fearful re sults staring us in the face, the same lie con . - tinnes to assail the public ear ; in streets,and in bar-rooms ;. from the platform of-the par tisan orator, and the pulpit of the. political priest. In conjunction with this glaring fahehood comes the declaration (equally ab surd and untrue) that the slaveholding inter est of the country is sggressive;that it. thirsts for dominion and -aims to annihilate free 'la bor. 'This last allegation, like the first, is overahelmingly condemned by history.— Slaveliolding Virginia voluntarily ceded to the National Government a domain out of which five'rich and . populous frkstates have been created ; a slaveholding President, be lieving the Missouri Compromise extended in spirit, though not in terms, to the Pacific coast, signed a bill by which the vast territo ry of Oregon was exPre.sly allotted to free la bor. And from "the Adniinistration of Wash ington•to the present time, we defy these ha bitual slanderers to poi nt to the first act in our legislative history sustaining their vile accusations. Ifa sentiment of honor or a slight regard for truth yet lingers in their debauched natures, they may be induced to abandon this infamous practice of falsifying, and to enlighten their , followers by the pre sentation of facts and. the conclusions legiti mately flowing from them. That such will be the case we earnestly hope; the public gr . the interests of ear whole 'country 'dentan it. - It is not only their duty to diSpense with naked assertions, but they shoald put the public in possession of their reasons. for sus taining the singular and revolutionary.move ments of their party. We want them, to in form us why they tried. to " stop the wheels of government" by refusing to make an lap propriation for support of the. At;rtly ; why they defeated a project to give peace ,to Kansas ; why they endeavored by act of Con gress to establiSh slavery in that. Territory until 1858 .; why they sought to prevent an investigation of the charge of corruption pre ferred against certain metnbers of Congress ; and why they did not cordially • unite to ad mit Minnessota as 'a free st a te.. When they bare candidly responded to these inquiries, will they be kind enough to show us how they could support an electoral ticket partly devoted to Fillmore, with his know-nothing and " pro-slavery"-proclivitiert, without sacri ficing that " great principle" about which they . make so much ado I Will they also explain for what purpose they sent "tke trai tor Simon. Cameron, and slavery" to repre sent them in the U. S. Senate ? These ques tions concerning-a few of their pest political rasealities, wo would like to hare fairly and intelligently answered ; after which an ex planation of - their motive for counseling-the Free State men of Kansas not to vote at 'the June election ; and for denouncing' through the press, from the pulpit. and in legi-lative resolves, the decision of the Supreme Court in the D:ed Scott case, would be, both grafi f)ing and profitable. f Weassert, (and our reasons shall accom pany the assertion) that this Republican or ganization is to day the real abettor of " sla very extension;" that its movements .tend to revolution and the destruction of the govern• meat. If it is really antearnestly opposed to the establishment of slavery in Kansas, why doe's it counsel its dupes there to take no part in the election to form a State Con stitution I It admits, yea, it boasts, • -that . the Free State party constitutes a large ma jority of the bona fuse citizens of the Territo ry. Then, this party has the power to mould the domestic institutions of Kansas as it I-lea ses—to insert in the State Constitution a prohibition, or recognition of slavery. Pos sessing this power, the Free State men of Kansas are counselled by their Eastern mas• tent, not to exercise it; to quietly remain in their work shops and on their farms, • aisle the" pro-slavery" minority *baps the perm'. tent domestic institutions of the Territory.= It the advice of these-Eastern incendiaries is followed, and a slavery Constitution is fas • tened upon Kansas, upoti whom' *ill the re sponsibility rest We said that the movements of this Re - publim organization . tend to revolution ; now for the evidence. It is continually ex= sorting itself to cmeslica4litespect for the con stitutional authorities of the government; witness its acrimonious invectives against the higheatjudicial tribanal,because of its decision in the case of Dred Scott. This effort to destroy public confidence in the Natio* Judiciary, must tf successful result anarchy.
