Raiatd Ridra, DamaM Maine** aad Pone uvi-r iieSag eigne, t"""- Tbe Missouri Democrat, the main organ and general wtr traMpbriar for lbs Fuaioniiis daring th* lata campaign, finds it impossible to pie* tbe fares any Iqrgar, and comes onl wiffi l bo following facto, as furnished by a correspondent in tbe Tenitory. Tbe editor says: Wo in vile attention lo some very imparium •disclosures which will be lound in another column, of alleged frauds which have been practised by the so-called Emigrant Aid So cipttoa of tba North upon those who have an imated them with donations to relievo lbs necessities and sufferings in Kansas. For soma time past we have heard variona com plaint* and acoaaation* against lhaea as rpeenlatmg concerns, alt pointing to tha •upas shoes of trust, and the same infidelity ofagstns, who has# only appealed to lbs bene TO lent friends of Kansas in order to pocket for ibamselvea the funds thay may thus collect. We have aevar approved of these Aid So cietiea cither at the North or ihe South. We have believed that it'was a viecious principle of emigration, and not calculated to be of benefit, to out tt'pslern Territories, for those whom a paltry advance cCuld thai induce to go iojo Kansas or Nebraska wen) scarcely the material out of which to maka hardy pi oneers or industrious farmer*. If, however, it shall turn out, in addition to all this, that the Aid Societies are unfaithful and svari cioas, and fraudoltn! besides, we shall have even stiU more powerful incentives to dis courage and discountenance than. We com mend the communication to w&itdt we have referred, and tha many signatu:ai •ll*cbe | l If it, to tbe attention of those concerned, end demand in the came Of the destitute and im poverished men end women who have lost their substance in the late distressing collis ions in Ksnses, that the agents who have made oollsctioua for their relief beheld to •Mint aeeouutsbility, and the aims and char acter of thase Aid Societies be mere elose'y examined into. If they shall prove to be mere associations of the benevolent, we have ne right to question the propriety of their formation, but if they be merely banded pi geon droppers in disguise, it will become tbe duty of tbe press to expose and uproot them. The happiness of a |>eople has more claim upon tbe sympathy ef tbe public than the soccess of speculators in charity. Nor its this language do we wish to confine our selves exclusively to those associations which heve been formed in the North under this ti tle. .Equally severe criminations have been pasted time and again In pur bearing upon sifnilar schemes in the South, and we have tie doubt bnt that what our coirespoi.denl says of the desperation to which many wore ■educed by disappointment in fulfilling the promifcs made lo them before emigrating, drove thrtn into scenes of plunder which dis graced the Territory during the pas; summer We have already published these charges in tbe cases of complaints against Boford, Wilkes and oibers from the South, and now perform our duty as an impartial journal in giving prominence to Ihe present disclosures concerning tbe Aid Societies ol the North.— In the shape in which they come and en dorsed as they are by many resident settlers of Kansas, it will not do for this matter to be passed over, in silance, and we shall await with some anxiety to aee tbe explanation* that may come from the companies and indi viduals implicated. The following ia the card of the vistims: Exposition ol Ihe Kanea* Aid Society- Lawier.ce, K. T., Nov. 24, .1866. Ma. EPITM As lam interested in tbe fat* of this Territory, 1 would say to those who intend coming to Kansas, oome on your own responsibility, and then you know what to depend upon, for you einoot depend upon the assistance which is promised you, if you steit tmdsr the promise of the Kansas Aid Society. I hat it nothing more nor Itss than a speculating operation, from beginning lo end, tokuh originated in Yemkeedom, and it is lime Dial Ike km est domtore should be duped no longer for Bleeding Kansas. There is no doobt bot there are are people who need aid, and I would advise those who give sid to send it to some person or person* the paitiee may know, and (hen what they send or give you will kbotp is distributed to the neceatfitoos. I may stale for instance Ibst the ori*"*!"! Chicago company never fulfilled their con- • tract with the company that leflthera in June last, and which has seen more hardships than any other company in the Territory. Tbe commiHoe was to give them assistance on their arrival lo tbe Territory, and alao find them in provisions for one year, wbicb baa not been complied with. If you say anything they reply it is all left to lbs National Com mittee, apd when yea mention it to them, they say, you are a separate concern, we have nothing to do with yoo. That ia tbe way you am treated, after being induced to leave a comfortable borne, to endure priva tions sad hardships for the Aid Society to speculate from. For a sample of the com mittee's generosity, I cite to yen one circum stance among a bandied that happen# daily: A Mr. Bedose, of Rockford, bad lost all bis, •clothing at the battle of Oaaowaloraie, aid on Ilia return, Mr. Whitman §*• him *° ofer shirt (of Mm flannel whieb U generally worn) her the had worn the ahirt son?* two month*, and a* than bad quite a quantity arrived for distribution, b* applied to Mr. H.,— one of the committee*—for oris. Tbe answer 5i we have no more for yon. He then tome*,' and walked off. Theee are facts which are 100 true. Who is to rteeive the aid that is donaiedtfe man tike thstis mfassd, who has been through all the struggles daring the summer and UU, end whose family hat joet arrived from Reektmd, UU Mr. & was in duced to come eat here by the Rook ford Committee, with the promise of being pro visioned for • yeer, nod J hey likewise agreed to assist his family, but started them off with out money enough to pay thair way. It sp pear* that ihe committeebad bean "weighed and found warning," and there are eereial of the Rockford men destitute in oonseqaenoa. It !■ time these transactions were exposed, ro ttof no more persons may be taped bp Urn commit tees, or by those whs ore roifcffog <M I think it dnty to put the whole metier I ia a true ligbt,before the public, as tho sev eral committees bate" been written to ro- I peaiedly and no reply, s What are those to do this winter who now i belong to the militia, which will he diebaud t ed in a abort timet What ate the prisoners i to do if thty have the good .luck to getfrao r frpm bondage ? Cag thay get employment ? No I Can they go upon oUuaaf No! Will I Iboy be provided for 1 That is to be seen; r or will they be left to shift for themselves i and tnrn bandits for their sup past, which bee - already commenced, and which hao been - sue onuae of tba difficulties in the Territory, t For inataoca, the colonies from the South r were sent in with the same guarantee aa - tbese from the North, with the addition el i their claim* being paid for when coming in > to markot; and their committee* have also ' proved faithless and dishonest. And what > teas the result f Why, they were forced to rub > and plunder for subsistence, and to raise means lo get out tbe Territory, and a war followed with Missouri, as she wot charged with many ■ of the crimes. ' I'll give yon at) inatanoo of the commit- toe'e generosity, tad clott. 1 procured aa I old log hosse for the poroose of storing tbe ' bapg*go belonging to the men who SMCA > held prisoner* at f.ecomplon.

The baggage contained all ol their clothing, mechanical tools, Ac., which ware tbos exposed Id the rain and the light fingered gentty for five days, before another place could be procured lo store it. If that Is tha way men in priaon are treat ed, what can any one expect who comes here trusting to the promises of these Aid Societies t The tbove are stubborn facts, wnich I am lorry to relate, but nevertheless true, and I hope this will be a warning to those who may bo interested in Ksnsts mat ters, and who wish to com* bare as settlers, t subscribe myself Yours respectfully, " Col.

Swindling Nobility In rtttsborg. 1 By the Pittsburg papers, of a late date, we laam that two men were arrested there, on the previous night, who represented them selves as Lord Arthur John Hudson and Sir Charles Miller. Although stopping at one of the commonest taverns in the city, they succeeded in impressing several citizens and mechanics with the idea of thsir msgnifi cenos, many of whom, it as alleged, they have bled for considerable amounts. Du ring the fortnight they have been here they have represented they have on depasi' with a broker in tbia city .£40,000, and that they feared his stability. They actually bought an extensive safe for the security of their im aginary fund*, becauso Lord John had made arrangements for the pwrobase of a farm, welt slocked, for $17,000, but wbeo the deeds were drawn and ready to be signed for the conclusion of the bargain, It was dis covered that the swindlers were entirely pen niless. They ware arrested at the Fulton House, where the police found everything wearing the gayest aspect. All waa prepared lor his Lordship's wedding with an unsaspeeting girt. The table waa set, the gaests in attend ance, the minister was about, and Mr. Lougt ery, a jeweler, on Fifth Street, who waa did dled oat of goods to the amount ot <IBO, and who was specially invited, was also there, ready to aet as groom lor the nobis swindler. Lord Aathur, however, was not about, him self, and his companion had left to taka a " ride in the evening, end ware expected back 0 every minnta. On his arrival ha too wat ar rested.
