THE HAS 18 “DAFT OEAZI.” • The “ Confidenoo Mon’' of the Journal ad dresses himself to the Whigs in n long artiole, whloh he begins by saying, “ It become i us only to advise.” Indeed ! And how many does the writer suppose will osre a straw for his advice ? A Know Nothing undertaking to “ adcite ” those who oonsoientionsly and earnestly oppose nil se oret politioal organizations! A “Shanghai’ oaekling to sober, sensible, earnest-minded men, and advising them how to vote I Deserting the Whigs in their weakness, and then turning roand to tell them how to aot and vote In order to help '~lho deserter get the offiolal patronage! Beau H iokman’s demand of a quarter for a right of see ing hie person hardly equals that in the “ confi dence” line. And what is the “ advice ?’’ Why, that Whigashould kiss the hand that emote them; and submit to the Know Nothing fraud that aimed to destroy their parties. Tho man is growing perfectly frantic in his alarmforthe probable fate of hie ticket.;,lt. flounders about for something to say, andstnm bles on the most unlucky topics. It chatters about slavery, yet admits that it advocated the fugitive slave law in iB6O.- It talks nohsenil about river and harbor. improvements, well knowing at the same time that more than twice as mnoh money was voted and granted lor sash improvements under Mr. Polk’s administration as under Mr. Fillmore's. It prates of a tariff; yet every body knows that we now have a tariff that raises a revenue of nearly seventy million dollars a year; and that that is a Democratic tariff—the tariff of 1846. The editor of that paper knows, too, that Kansas and Nebraska were organised as terri tories in the same form, and with precisely the same words as were tbd territories of Oregon and Utah under a Whig administration. He knows, too, that'the attempt to establish slavery in Kansas by force and fraud is the work of Missouri Know Nothings. That is proved be yond ail doubt; and he knows it. Yet be asks Whigs and Free Boilers to vote for Know Noth ings! He is opposing the Anti-Lioenso law with all his might, and undertaking to pledge tho Know Nothings in favor of its repeal; and one or two of the Know Nothing candidates for Assembly are writing lettere to tavern keepers, eolioiting their votes ; and their candidate for Senate re oelved his nomination by tho same means. Yet that party, and the Journal , ask the help of temperanoe men ! Such is the Journal and its distrusting friends. A more orazy medley of nonsense we have never seen served np than that paper treats the voters to every morning. Yet he imagines ho is doiDg wonders. He is doing good eervioe for tho anti-Know Nothing party at BBy rate. Go on, noighbor. THE MEETINGS The meeting at East Liberty was a large and enthnsiastio one. Judge Wilkins, Col. M’Cand less, R. B. Roberts, Oh. Jeble, Dr. MoOUntook, P. Sawyer, C. Magee''and dee. Stewart made tpeeohes, whloh were well reoeived. We have not noticed all the Demooratio meet. Inge, but can cssnre onr readers that in num bers and enthusiasm they give ns good grounds for hope of a sweeping trinmph this fall. Thos. M. Marshall and D. D. Bruoe, Esqrs., (old line Whigs,) have made strong and effective speeches at some of them, and W bigs in large Dumbers applaud the manly stand they have taken against proscription, and tho trickery of seorot politioal sooieties. Certainly we have never seen more onthnsi* asm in behalf of a good ticket than is every where manifested in onr eonnty this year. Coli Black and the Onto Democracy. Col. S. W. Blaok, of this city, has been press ed several times to visit Ohio, and give the Book eye boys the benefit of his eloquent speech, which has given him oelebrity throughout the country. His came has been announced to speak at Massillon on Saturday, (to-morrow,) bat it will be impossible for him to leave. Onr own oonnty mnet be attended to, and his ser vices on the stnmp oannot bo dispensed wilh. Rising from a sick bed, the Democracy have demanded and he has yielded his entire strength to the cause, and wo expect to hear a glorious resnlt. ‘ ! The Westport correspondent of the Repnblioan says that Jndge Elmore (the Judge who won’the removed) thinks he has " got” the President He proposes to wait until his suo cessor demands the official seal, and then will refuse to give it np. It will then be sued for by an aotion of quo warranto, and thus the ease will be brought np. It ie said that the Jndge feels confident of gaining his ease; bat he saye, no matter how it ends, he will at onoe resign. “ They say bo ” is the moat insidious, power- i ful, and deoeptiro of expressions in the month of the slanderer. The shifting of responsibil ity, the apparent air, of consent whioh accom panies these words, render them to the ‘nneus peoting dangerous dti' the extreme. Wewk of all, on the ovQ of a!Y election whicbinvolves is sues never before presented, and we fervently hope never trill again, to weigh with oantion re ports started by Know Nothings in relation to the state of tho canvass. At one moment we hear that Detiioorats are deserting the tloket on acoonnt of the liquor league ; when pushed for particular names, nothing more satisfactory is elicited than “they aayeo,"..aa.authority too impalpable and improbable for us to pursue. Another tells ns the Catholios are goiiig to vote against Body Patterson and others on the ticket :OCTOBER 6 —who else they oan or will vote for is not stated, —the same reference is given as before, “ they say so.” These things are begotten to disturb and distract the impenetrable front of Demooraoy, to soatter doubt among tho oou fiding, and if possible nlionate the loyalty of the masses. It will not serve the party now olutoh ing at straws to save from slaking, or benefit those who have too often betrayed the adopted oltizen, and exhausted a large revenue of false hoods to mislead and dostroy. Who are Cath olios to vote for ? Eph. Jonee, who represents a party sworn on the evangelists to tear from them and theirs their dearest rights ; will they do this ? Never. It is to insult them to inti mate it. The game has beooms desperate, and despioable as deaperato has beooms the means of warfire of the Know Nothing party. The time is not now for old grudges, for retribu tion for unguarded expressions, for unhealed sores or looal disturbances. The issue is, the integrity of onr constitution, the vindication of our fair institutions, tho right to worship God above oil human oontroi, and not by aot of As sembly, the undismayed right of freo speeoh, and the equal oapaoity of all oitizena to enjoy, individual political rights. This is the issue, and on tbie we are willing to plant onr stand ard and bide the result. There is no defection in tho ranks, bnt on the contrary an enthusiasm without being boisterous evinces a oonviotlon of socoess most wholesome and enoonraging.

JOHN L. DAWSON. MR. DAWSON’S REPLY. Shawheh Mahual Labor School, Territory of Kansas, Aug. 30. j To the Hon. John L. Dau'*on: The undersigned, citizons of the Territory of Kansas, have learned with muoh regret that you tboagit propor to deo ine the aocept&noe of the offioe of Governor of this Territory, so appropri ately tendered to you by the President of the United States. They, in common with thoir fel low oitizena of the West, have marked with deep interest and unqualified approbation, your oa* reer as q public man. They have ottserved thet sound nationality which is conservative of the rights of the States, whether North or South, and more particularly do they, as Western men, feel under obligations to you for your exertions in behalf of the Homestead law, a measure of more importance to them than any whioh has engaged the attention of Congress for many years. Though the comforts of a rosidenoe amidst the refinements of a more advanoed state of sooietv may have been more allnring to you than the possession of offioe on this frontier, we venture to hope that they are not so seduotive as to disinolioe you to make us a visit, and to aooept of the hospitalities of frontier and squat ter life. To thiß end we beg leave to iavite you, at suoh time as may suit your oonvenieooe, be tween the first aud the middle of the month of October, to bo amongst us for the purposes indi cate i. We oan promise a fine olimate, the sight of a country of unsurpassed bo&uty and fertility, and a greeting of generous and oordial hearts.

Gentlemen or the Council and Hoi se ok Rep RES ENT ATI VBS OP KwiBAS Circumstances which l need not particularly advert to, which yet aro imperalivo in their na ture, compel me to decline the invitation which you extend to me in such flattering terms, to visit your Territory. However high tho gratifi cation which I 8 . onld experience from tbo ao ciptanoe of the hospitalities which you bo cor dially tender ine, and from beholding those attractive regions in the glory of a prodigal and luxuriant nature, 1 yet console myself, that for any purpose of public usefulness whioh I might propose by Buob a visit, it is yet quite unneces sary. If any opinions and views of bo hamble an Individual as myself, oan bo regarded as of importance with regard to the present posture of your Territorial affairs, it will afford me pride, not tees than pleasure.—as 1 hold it the duty of every good citizen to promote, to the ex tent of his influence, the welfare of his oountry to place them unreservedly at your service. That we may not be deterred by tho first as poet of difficulties of this kind, we should re member that they aro no novelty in our history Troubles arisiog from religious dissensions and persecution, and from aeoliona! jealousies, from disputes in relation to territorial limits, and bo tween proprietors and communities, hove at va rious intervals of our colonial and national ex tetencs thrown & cloud otir oaf happiness ns a people, shrouding it for a time In a depth of gloom which oectned to threaten a total eclipse. Thus we have witnessed tho excesses of religious fanaticism, ns exhibited in (be riso of the Salem witchcraft and the persecution of scots; and those of local jealousy, in the different boundary disputes Id New Eoglaod, and other portions of the confederacy, some of wbloh havo oven led to foreign wars. All of those aro tronblesome an i iiritating, and to the genuine patriot discourag ing subjects. Hut they have all soocessively paesod away, and if evils were borne along in their train, these too have proved but transient, and skies of brighter promise havo still succeed ed, and at this day wo have yet to thank God as to the most favored of all tho tribes of men, who in different ages havo beeu the recipients of hia oountry. This should touch ns not to be dis heartened by the menooiug aspeot of tho peculiar troubles which now disturb Kansas. Let us be sore that, out of these too wc shall come un scathed ; and with this unfaltering confidence in a protecting divinity, let ua march steadily for ward in tho ranks of duty. To place us on tho vantngo ground, whence we may seo truly the condition of tho question involved in the Kansas troubles, it is proper to advert to a few facts and considerations, whioh, though either unknown or lost sight of, are yet important in their bearing, and necessary to be kept in view, in order to a of the onuses which have drawn the "question of slavery into the political oreon, and to estimate aright the movements of individuals and parttaß In regard to it. It is matter of authontio histo ry, tha( at the breaking out of the Revolution, the slave States were engaged in a noblocontost with the avarice of tho parent conntry, for throwing off tbo institution of slavery. That contest, as it is well known, found Blavory near ly universal within the old limits of the Union. In no single instance within the history of this government has it been voluntarily introduced. The increasing magnitude of tbo evil had already awakened the fears of tho far-seeing patriots of the South, but their efiorts towards its removal were vain, so long as England continued to ap prebend detriment to her manufactures, from the substitution in the colonies of white labor for that of tbo oegro. The successful issue of our struggle for liberty did Indeed remove the difficulty arising from external restraint, but the designs of tho benevoleut were for a time diverted by the new activity imparted by free dom to the prodaotivo energies of the nation, and by the tempting appeals to interest present ed by the golden roturns which flowed in annu ally increasing amount from the extending pro duction of ootton. Tbo seuso of the evils of slavery was, however, only suspended, and the statesmen of the South are still found appealing to their fellow oitixonß, until 1832, in tones of earnest nod anxious argument, for the adoption of some effeotnal means for its gradual diminu tion and fiaal extinguishment. Prior to tho passage of tne Missouri Compro mise Bill In 1820, patriots of all seotione of the oountry bad been of odo mind, —tho oommon good of a oommon oountry the one object of the aspirations and labors of all. At that time the influence of the North and South in Congress was nearly poised, and the history of the events of the day shows oonolQsively, that tho oontest whioh resulted in the passage of that &ot, was ono for power, entirely regardless of the inter est or welforo of tho Blave. It was the effort to obtain the political direction of the oountry, and tho oontrol of its legislation—to shape its policy in the building up of sectional interests, by the adoption of measures protective of manufac tures, internal improvements and oommeroe, and by the application of the resouroee of the national treasury —whioh led to the fierceness of that struggle, and seduoed Congress into bd over stretch of its powers in order to quiet the tremendous exoitement. The question having been put to rest for the time by the acquies oenco of the nation in that adjustment, the slave did not as yet, in bis domestic relations attraot any regard from the North, and the efforts of Southern philantkropists for the amelioration of his condition were not yet in termitted. In the third of a oentury whioh has elapsed since the law of 1820, Stato after State North of the tine of slavery, has beeu added to the confederacy, each contributing to swell the influence of the free States. The question of political power has thus at Length been folly settled, bnt the excitement whioh was begun for extensive political objects, has sinoe passed .in to fanatioism, and those who were Abolitionists from over-wrought benevolence have become the prey of demagogues, who continue tho agi tation for their individual benefit in the attain- ment of power and placo—to the prejudice of the country, and at tho sacrifice of its peaoe and the stability of its institutions. Tho unoonstitutionaHty of tbo Compromise Aot was indeed admitted at the very next sea- Bion.of Congreea, so far as Missouri was con cerned, by tho join* resolution of Maroh, 1821, under whioh* and not under the Aot of 1820, that State was received into tbo Union, upon tho footing of tho old States, m -.all respects what ever, excepting a fundamental condition which In no wise impairs tho trath of the general as sertion. Congress having thus eatly disregard ed her own aot, from a perception that in Us passage she had gone beyond the constitution, : the progress of time showed, in the oontlnuanoe of the Abolition excitement, its total Ineffioaoy, and the uncoostitutionality of such legislation having been almost universally oonoodod, that body possessed the clear right, whioh It oxer* oised in the passage of the Bill for the organiza tion of the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas, to- repeal the law of 18a0, and vindicate the oon • stituiion by the restoration of tho true doctrine, and thus to remove the question from their de liberations. It ia the pride of the English judiciary, as well as of our own, upon discovering an erro neous decision, to rectify the error by a re-affirm anoe of the law; and similar reasons of justice and oonsistenoy, fonnlthe proper vindication of the Congress of 1553-4, in the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise. The relative expediency of free and slave la bor in Kansas, with reference to the influence of oithor upon production, upon the morals and general interests of the Territory—what effect the adoption of either may havo upon the pro gress of settlement, —upoo tho advancement in tho value of property,—and to what extent it would increase or diminish her representation in the councils of the nation, it is not my pro vince to discuss. These are questions whioh are all committed by your organic law to your le gitimate votors, who are thus supposed equal to ihe responsibilities whioh it imposes. In the repeal of the law of 1820, and the or ganization of Nebraska and Kansas free from the restriction whioh it imposed, Congress only as serted the right of the poople to form their own government aooording to the will of the majority, a right whioh lies at the basis of all our institu tions, and whioh we oannot take exoeption to, without oalling in question the very principle which has given us all our distinctions as a nation all oor superiority and greatness.. it is the same which built us up from feeble oolooies into wealthy and important proviQoes, and which oc casioned our resistance to British tyranny, and iod to the establishment of Amorioan nationality. By virtue of that prinoiplo it is, that the States of the Union and tho confederacy everywhere exhibit laws framed upon principles of equality aud justice, and administered by tribunals char acterized by intelligence and virtue; that the productive energies of tbo nation have produced such fruits in agriculture,manufactures and com merce ; that the works of American invention are sought, for their admitted superiority, by the most enlightened nations of Europe ; that we have an empire Btretobing from ocean to ooeao, with thousands of mile* of easy intercommuni cation ; and that the ships engaged in oar com merce traverse the waters of every sea. Ail these, and more than I have space to enumerate, are tbo wonderful results of the principle of pop ular sovereignty os displayed in our government and institutions, and whose successful working oannot be denied without the assertion that ihe experiment of a Republlo is a failure. 1 am not ignorant of the pcouliar state of things exhibitsi by your Territory in the effort to oarry out the law of your organization, in the establishment of a local government. Not con tent with the impartial fairness with which the subject of slavery is disposed of by that law, we have seoo attempts to take undue advantage over tho well disposed citizen who emigrates of bis own free will and choioo, for the purpose of a bona fide settlement, by bauds of men, sent out in numbers and with means adequate to the exigency by combinations in tho north, for the purpose of anticipating tho action of the legiti mate settlers of the ooontry, and thus fixing by a fraud, the character of your institutions when applying for admiesion as a St a to. We have seen, under the feeling naturally excited by such a proceeding, a counteracting movement on the part of the south, from Missouri, and the dispute seems ready to burst forth into the flames of civil wrr. The interests at stake are even held by the excited and excitable portion of the com munity throughout the States, but whioh are fortunately everywhere limited in number, to be of that importance whioh will justify disunion. But while there is no imaginable contingency which oan render expedient the disruption of the Union, there ia nothing in the case of Kansas which can justify even a resort to violence. It is not the determination of a few thousands of men, whatover their political complexion, * nd no matter whether from Massachusetts or Missouri whioh can fix ragagnently tha .character of jhd Institution* mate. They may do so for tho moment, bat it can be permanently done only by tfio interests of the population, ns de termined by efimalo and soil, and the relativo productivenessOf free ami:slave labor.' Tide iraate to bo foremoßt In (bo race la there fore doubtless jhf less importance than excited passion may persuade us it is. Certainly in any event, DisaniotHe never to be thought of as a remedy. The very fact that for every imagined grievance Disunion is held up as a throat, is suf ficient to Ulustrattithc desperation of that reme dy. The enormUftof the proposition is sufficient to stamp Us own allacy, while its positive luef ficooy cannot fail’to strike the oommoneet intel lect. Contemplate for a moment tbo oonse qucnces of that remedy! Sopposo that In consequence of the impossibility of settling to oar mutual satisfaction the vexed question of slavery, the Union shonld separate into two great organizations, without natural boundaries. By this arrangement tho subject of slavery Booth of tho dividing Uno forever passes from the con trol of the North, while the South le left to feel tee full foroo of its evils entirely within her own limits. But how long could two such organiza tions, with constitutions so opposite, maintain peaoofu! relations in such close contiguity ! la tho antagonism of feeling which would naturally oxiat, mutual oacroaohment upou each other’s rights would soon occur. A border broil in two contiguous States would thus, by sympathy and a oommon Interest, draw to their assistance other Btates on both sides of the line, till the ;two powers should bo engaged In a war, whioh, tn respect of the bad passions whioh it would evoke, and the frightful atrooities to whioh It would lead, may soarcely find a parallel in his* tory. In the progress of snob, —which it can h&rdly be supposed would be of brief duration, but whioh would doubtless bo prolonged until one party or the other should be entirely wasted in the oo&fliot —the clear perception of human rights, would grow oonfused: with the suspension of the pursuits of peace, their value would be forgotten ; —tho very idea of a republio would fade oat; and a people, mentally as well as morally degraded, would soon offer their willing oeoks for the yoko of some rfftitary chieftain, who, alike regardless of the enslavor and the enslaved, will seize the oooasion for tho perma nent establishment of his authority, and rule them with a rod of iron. Thus, instead of ameliorating the condition of tho filavo, we Bhall heoome slaves ourselves. That this is no Idle picture, we may learn from the case of Athens and Sparta, both members of a common oonfod eraoy, when, after the civil strifo of the Pelopo nealan war, the former p&eced under tho kingly rale of Philip of Maoedon, and from that of the States of the Aohaeau league, which flourishing only while united, In an evil hour listenod to the voioe of internal jealousy, and, calling in the assistance of Romo, soon fell under her galling yoke. Disunion, thereforo, affords no remedy for tho domestio dlesonsions of tho States, and is only to be contemplated as the opening door through whioh A. passage may be found to a stronger government, when tho miseries of an archy Bhall havo proven ua incapable of govern ing ourselves. ’Gf a ruin so complete, so dark and so hopeless as that, to this proudest achieve ment of man's Jntellootual and moral nature, may Reavon foraver avert tho day. I would, thefefore, earnestly exhort every friend of Kansijfc by his love f° r himself and his children,—by fin desire for the welfare of his remote poiterit^,—and by his love for bis country—her past achievement, and her present position In the van of nations in this tho most enlightened age,—to cast away the counsels of passion, of prejudice, and momentary exolte* ment, and listen to those of moderation, of rea son, and of justioe—the practical lesson of whose teaebing is, that violence oan acoompllsh nothing of any permanent value, and may be prodnotive of irreparable misohief. Let every one who is without legal qualification for the exeroiee of the elective franchise, carefully avoid interference; and let every legitimate voter use his privilege with scrupulous regard to the rights and feelings of others, and tho Kansas troubles will vanish by magic; and ono more testimony,—.apti that the most honorable and distlngnishell&BGaase the exigence is the most tryiog—wiltppg afforded of the fitness of our and under all olronm etanoea, to tmmtrusted with the privileges and responsibilities of self-government. In aonolumon, gentlemen, let file thank you most cordially for the unsolicited honor of your invitation, and lot me express the pleasure It would afford me to enjoy the observation person* M > ,-. •" '« '' - • wp t-.^y .. " - s ally, of the many interesting features of your territory—her broad and fertile plains—her rioh valleys, and her genial olimate. The develop ment of her reaouroea presents a magnifioent field for the energies of her population; and I trust they will be guided by a wisdom which will lead to complete success. For , the commendation whioh you are pleased to express of my efforts in behalf the Homestead, I hope to have the opportunity, another season, of (hanking you in person.
