I find them, in word, alwadily eidiny by all their Cog fraseiunal action to make a Slave Stat in northern latitudea, and that, too, sgatnat the will of Ita In habitants. I find that one Member, who more j 1 nan any oihar atood out gaitrgt the enlaeemant of hia wMte fellow-eltisena, ie vafoaed a renomination by the Demoevatte aarfy of Ma diatHet. I find In tha cb nvaea now going on that the whole tone nf their prty preaa ia in th um direction. When th fleet startling Intelligence of tbe outrage in Kansas reached the 8tat.ee, their editore denounced tha foal wrong in trme of fitting indignation. It wai boa a faemndie effort, however, and in owferancw ta tha South and that prevailing aentiment of tha party, they have dropped off, or alter th other, until now, o far aa I hav been able to aertein, there Is not a Democratic piper which dare boldly to juatify and defend theSre Stat parte, and deaounrn th. ir tneadera and blood oppressor v in plavca of eneouragemt and aympathy foriheir outraged fellewltteen from the Narth, iberg is little else tkan eers and riahoule lor their oppreaaed and acf ferine? anndiiion miarpproaeittation of their Motives snd conduct, and a prstenied i nr redo h tv of th atatement and aopeala which they aend their brethren ol the (States. I find their speaker exhibiting the me spirit soar of them igt-oring the qareiien entirely -other treating It with Pewersions. mierppreentttoos and false toseea; and other taking openly the aide of tha oppressor; but none nl them itoucating the eeuee of Kansas, or favoring her admission under the Pree State Constitution adoptee! by her peo P. In the public demonstrations and processions of tba party, I find banners and device containing brutal inaulta. In re apone t tbe appeals 0 ihn people for protection againat uu .orailad wrongs, calculated, aa uudouut c - y muat be intended, to prepareth - m rises lor a continued refusal of justice mid protectiou, and a relentleaa persistence in outrage arnf typpreasion. f ftbd the Democrats Sooth, and a pesaios) Of the Democracy of the North, beddly fapas)'üng this K msaa-Nebraaka bill, bf inrsatnur Hint Slavery baa a 1 ht to go into tbe Territories, in apite (.uotjreae or Hie people; ami ibal the inhabitants of the l'errilury have n.i riijht to pSs Territorial laws to lorbid it oreuchide it.

the polit cal canvaaa and having earnest ly aaked tha co-operation of men of sll perttee, I hard failed to enlist ia It, to asp knowledg, a alngl Democrat. In the Convention af Cleveland and Büffeln. ed without distinction of pirty, in furlheratie of thi enterprise, thare aria an Democrst pmaeat but myself. Thia cannot have been from sny went of goneroslty or of moane, but only inilifTrenc to ths prevsiling tone and aentiment of tha pirty wbieb is salistsd upon the other side of tha question. And not only hav they abstained from siding tha movement, but in their preaaa,and by their private Influence ihey have endavored to oripple snd retard it by sneering st It, warning the community sgaloat it as tressonsble, and declaring that th money would be misapplied, thus endeavoring to prevent coatrlbaiiona even Irom friends of the meaaure. I might go on with thia catalogue and enumerate other Indications, if necrsas ry, ah ywlng thtt tha prevailing tona of the patty la hoatlle to Kanaae.but I .-insider it only neeeesary to add that what I hava aaia relates but to the North. Tha South, where tha great maaa of the party i to be found, mabea no pretension, aa a vrhola to the advocacy of anything but pure Bordar Ruffianism. What, than, have the Free-Siate men of Kanaaa to expect fn m a Demncratlo Administration, even if presided over by Mr. BuchananY If he cnold be laft to aet apoa hie awn tmpumre, unaffected by external inft.isne.es, and fre Irom all pledges aod obligations, express or implu d. the eaae would be different. But, unfortunately, thie la not an. HI election won Id rightfully b eoneidered m decision sgsinsi us, whatsrsr may be bla own private faelinga. Hia offlc a at Waahington, in Kansaa and elaewhere, would neceaaarily, to a large extant, be filled with mr enemiea. Hia ioformalion would come through a distorted medium; sod Isstly, be could nut aid us without having first made up his mind to be abandonod and warred upon bv hia own party. The Sooth would charge him with violating hia pledgee, and turn upon him with the bitterest hostility, and at least a portion of Northern Democracy would follow thlr example. He would thua be left without a party to aupport hia Administration, unleee he ahould a aat himself mto tha arme of tb Republicans. We cannot, it soma tw me, either aab or expect him to do this upon a queation wher party lins are ao plainly drawn before his election. Like all other men In the aama situation, ha he moat obey tke party aeatimvata on which he ia elected. That there are Democrats in Pennsylvania who are full 01 indignation againat the conduct of the South in regard to Kanaaa I am well aware, ami that they would uae their influence to radreaa her wronga I am well satisfied; but they ara too few in proportion to the whole party of the Union to abstain hia Administration in a war with hia party. They have as yet been unable lo make their own opinions appear and be fell in the parly, and, of coors. cannot do ao hereafter, I honor their good intention, b it I cannot belinve in their power. I repeat that I have been forced to theae conclusions alter no alight struggle witn mv feellnga and inclinations. Should lit. Buchanan be elected snd hi Administration be different from what toy iu'Jginwnt compete me to believe, I hill give It my cordial aupport. Ai I belle now, I muat regard the Democratic parly as fylly eo"miud to Southreo teotioaelUra, toward which, fur some time paat. it haa been rapidly tending, and I quitt it well asaured that my duty to my country demands at my hands this sacrifice of personal feeling. Very truiyysju ar-.. II. REEDER. War in Kansas! Rev. L. R. Denoia writes from Kan aas to tbe Western Chrialian Advocate aa follows: Since my laat it haa been s seleoit of most peculiar anxiety in thi territory, and the threatening cloud baa ben gathering dark neaa every day. Tns Aral outrage of any magnitude laat week was the capture of nine wagon and a hack, vitb their teems, drivera, snd several oeeaengere. Ths wagons had gone to Leavenworth for provisions, and there were quite a number of puiengen, and the hack-driver thought it a tavorabl tim to ge tnem through to the river in company with the trama, but ihey were ail taken, ard the hack-driver killed: but, ss et. 1 am unable to give tbe partlculeri of the murder. Mr. G. W. HutchMm, who had sent eeeeral of the wagon, and Mr. Souther land, owner of tb Sank, went Immediately to Governor Woodson to obtsin hia aid and influence in galling lb teams all back. The particular! uf the interview I have not learned; but it is enough to tell you. they wer aeixed right ther In Lecompton and are itill prisoner!. Bo itgoei! To day Mr. Hutchinson and Mra. Soulherland are going to th Mitsourt eimp, to intercede for their husbands; how they will aueeeec, time will deter mine. So tar ali importunities with the Governor hive been unavailing, md we can bop lor nothing from that aource. But the opposite) aide, the petition ol uoe mm can obtain in eacort of a whole company jf United States troops if he requests it; and hia "Honor," Judge Lecompte, can hive the troops following him sll over the territory. I apeak whit I do know mre that! On Saturday leveral hundred border ruffisua presented theinseivaa in the form of right, sums twelve ur fourteen milee south 'of this place, snd aeveral skirmishes took place between them and our acouts. But on Saturday afternoon Col. Lane made hit appearance with a small body of cavalry; they oon gave back; Lane followed them alowly till nearly aonuown, out tounj the main body of hia men and artillery were too tar back to engage that nigbt. Wrh anxious suspense we waited yesterday to bear of an engagement, bm the diy passed, and we could not heir anything Thia morning newa reached here that prospects were favorable for a most eevere engagement to-day. A vary few hours ague large reinforcement went to Col Lane's nsaiatance. Much depends upon tbe turn uf a lew dsyi. There is an outrage to which I muat refor, as I hava not bad tbe particulars eejssser. A Mrs. Csolner, living lome twelve miles Irom hers, on tho night oi the 22d, near midnight abe things, had occssiun to go out, end hid gone but s tew steps treat th house, wheo sb waa vrulcnlly soncd by tbe throat, and rapidly borne off. After they had taken her aome distance as there Ware four men, or demonet in the form of men they

stopped and sent one of their number to see if they had created any alarm. Finding they had not been seen, they took out her tongue, tied a string srouod it. and then around her neck. Then thty took her near aome timber on the Wsiibaruss. and there they alternately gratlAnd their brutal psssln till sali. fled. They then kicked and otherwiae abuaed her till they auppnaed her deli), and loft her inaeiialble. A eoon aa ehe rams to herself, aha sooesded In getting back to the house. The string waa out from her tongue, but It was then so wollen she cot Id not gt it In ker tnuulh. As soon as she could she gave all the particulars, and also states that aha knows two of them. I have the above facta from a brother that aaw her the asms morning, snd that had the tealemente from her own lips se eoon sa she sould talk.

Newa came In yeatarday that Oaaawattomi was burned to the ground. 1 pre lumi it ie true, a arrangements are be ing msae to send help to tho women and children, if they can be found. The messenger Says every house III it waa burned to the ground, and that a Mr. Brown, a brother to one of the prlaonera that haa been confined (or months with Governor Robinson and otbera, was killed on the apot. There may hive been othera; I have not learned. The houses of irre st it. men ore being burned In every direction, and lamiliea are flying in every way for aafely. Theae ara timee to teat the fidelity of many. Boms that hard made pretausions to ine iree-staie cause, uaca uu, or try to occupy conservative ground. It ia now evident, that one party or the other will have to leave the territory. Whicft will it bei 1 have said, and say it again, that if the reaident ol Kansm had been 1st alone, there would not have been any trouble. Hut the Border Ruffiana," alias the followers ol Stringfellow and Atchison, determined lo bear down every thing that did not con'orm to their will. Thia eeuld not bo borne -a a I I iS by men that would bag the privilege of thinking lor themselves; and now who thinking can tell where tho end will be! M y an overruling Providence bring go .i out of the apparaat evIM A tew in. r- point I will barely refer fer to. A ecouting parly of free-etafe men were cut laat week, and it ao hippanel they tell in with two "Border Ruffiana," and finally invited the Kent" over to look at Lawrence. On one of their hata waa tin following inscript i. m: "Deslh to all freeeoilera." Now, from every aource wa can hear, there can be no hope of mercy, if it Is the misfortune of sny of as lo lall into thir hand. In concloaion let ua sak an interest in tha prayers of Ood's people every-whsre. If ours is theoaaee of God and freedom, night we not, can we dot coofideutly claim auch an intereat from thoae thai love God and freedom ? Mast thm disturbance, distraction, dis troetion, aad di ficulty eontiaue till our oeople fill have nothing to est, wear, or live in ! Is there no power that can be brooght to brar to put a atop to itl I ask Ibis in all honeaty, candor, snd good feeling. Who will -ileaee aimwrl L. B. DENNIS. Liwaisct, Kansas, Sept. I.lfiofi. P.S. Just before I carried this to tbe office for mailing, news reached to.vu' th it the "Border RuflUne" have fled for Missouri; probably to recruit their loreee and liquor. But juat at that moment news osme i t Irom above, that the enimy were throwing up a breast-Work some nine miles above, and hundreda of our men are mot ing (bit way. L. B. D. Seven houses were bured in the fast two nights, that are now known, within ten milra of thia place, and within three mileaof Lecoinpluii, and nearly all within eight of the tents of the United States troopa. Is it not aatoniahiug that there ia no power that will atop such work! They are coming in auch numbers from Mieaouri, it Is utterly impossible to Watch them at every point, and uur men can never get near enough lo them for an engagement. This morning brother Downey, ol Donsphsn circuit, Kauslund Nebraeka conference, made his way to our cabin. having travsled all night, in bywaya and by the guide of a kind Delaware Indian, lie brings as a most-heart rending ac count from Leavenworth. On last Sabbath night the pro-slavery meu com menced gathering in Irom different directions. On Monday they held a meeting, and issued s decree tbat every free state man should leave tha city by aix o'clock. P. M.( snd then they lor med into regular procession, and went from house to house, and omce to office ot the free st .te men, snd compelling aa many us they could of them to fall into ranks in their aervic. Mr. VV. Phillips, tbe gentleman lhat waa tarred and leathered aome fourteen months since in Weion, Mo., refused to full into r. inks, consequently hi! braini were shot out in his own office. Brother Downey says women and children were running and crying in every direction, and men were lleeing us best they could. Brother Butt, our sta tioned preacher m Leavenworth, made hia way to the lort, but wat re! used protection entirely, consequently no one knows where he is. He farther elates that many women and children were forced Into a steamboat without any di rection, protection, ur money. "Such timee," ha Isrther remarks, "I never ssw." The exciteineut increases daily. I again sik, what will the end bo! Will our friends lt it remain thusi j I forgot to remark in the proper place that brother Butt had to aland ami look at these "Border Ruffiana" take his horses before hi eyes, aod be dorn net aay a word. Thus you see our property ie taken from ua, and otherwise destroyed juat ai fast ! they come to it; and tf this thing is permitted to go on. there must be much want and autferiog. Now while men ought to be making hay, so .ving wheat, and building house, they are compelled to flee Irom tbeir Homea, and help delend, a far as t.iey can, the iutertsts of the territory. Ye men of God, help us in every way you can. Tue time tor action has come; aud every one can do something. Some can pray, aome can preach, sumo can lecture, and some can fight. I kirow it does not sound well lor a preacher to talk about dgtiung; but tt is rigOt or die; it is conquor or be sonquerud. Never did I expect to see and feel ai I do. Bot I most honestly think every one tint has lUe proper : . Ung ol hu inanity, ! they could bo here a short lime, would leel lhat this is tt time fur action.

Thia gi nilum in and hia wife are very intelligent people, the latter beln nhite and a native of Maine. The people of thia trtble are nil tmbud with Free State prioeiplaa and fasling nnd Mr. Junea, who kept a kind of hotel, was, for that reason, very obnoxious to them. Perhaps it was Mrs. Jone who tunk will her to tin wilde of Kanaaa all tiur natlvu lovu of Liberty, and who never lei an opportunity pts in which aba could prumulgete t ndvanttge br own opinions perliitpt it wns sbo who was of ft-nsive.
