Newton. At a meeting of the Female Kansas Aid Society, held at Starr Hall on Friday, Spt. 19ch, Mrs. Newton delivered the following address. We would make an apology to the Society for the non appearance of it in our l ist week's issue, wore we not confident that the noble .Mitiin 'tits it breathes is not impaired by the delay the appeil it makes to the sympaties t( avppv frien i cif fpertilom mftfc wit.li a livir- . .,. ,,i . i ... i , .. ! 1 J tion of "material aid," and we f'cl sure that those wlo had not the pleasure of hearing her, will go and do likewise when they peruse the address. In another column, we publish letter from Mr. Upiam, in which he shad daws forth the destitution of the Free State citizens of Kanzas, rtbbed and plundered as j they have been of their means of subsistence by the ruffians, an 1 winter approaching! Surely the people of the Free North will give heed to appeal in their behalf, and "do more than they have done yet." As the President, I will state the object of this meeting, which is to solicit ai 1 and expressour sympathy for the sutterers in Kansas, who ha ve been and still are most cruelly robbed tA murdered driven from their peaceful iomes anil honest pursuits, by the border rufta bands, with a reckless lawlessness that would be a shame and disgrace to savages. Our hearts swell with indignation that in our own America, with its boasted freedom sad love of liberty, such scenes are enacted on those beautiful plains, and their fertile soil is reeking with the blood of our blaughtered relatives, neighbors and friends. They have been martyred and slain in the cause of freedom, because they were not willing for the black flag of slavery, with all its withering, blighting, blasting effects, to be planted on that free soil. Tho free state settlers have been basely, feully murdered, yea, and even scalped, with most unprovoked and barbarous cruelly, and their homeless, defenceless wives and children left to the tender mercy of these demons, whose deeds of darkness and violence pen

could not describe or language express condition of many of the tree state families, deeds of horror which have no parallel iu the who, for refusing to be identified with the history of this or uny other Christian nation. pro-slavery party, even though they quietly How often have we Rhuddered and grown I followed their daily pursuits, and took no part sick at heart, while reading of the barbarous tlie scenes of strife, have had to suffer all scenes enacted during the reign of terror in ; t,le wrongs that unprincipled men retultred France; and did we ever dream nay would ; morrt b;VSlJ by dissipation could indict. Numwa not have deemed it sacrilege to have even ' hers of those who had gathered the comforts thought for one moment that the broad plains f life around them, have been driven from of our glorious America should be desecrated 'heir homes and lawful possessions, without a by deeds of greater atrocity the greater be- moment's warning, for the ear of their persecause the thoughts of America has slumbered cu'ors are deaf to the ea!!s of humanity, down deep in the hearts of the oppressed of It seems too horrible to consider how this all nations.

Must tho black c'uuJs of slavery gather strength in thy weakness, until its shadow shall cover all our land, and its power crush free press, free speech, nd all our free and glorious institutions? No; certainly justice cannot sleep forever. The fiendish outrages and unheard of atrocities Citmot and must no; be tolerated. The base, inhuman aud shameful manner in which a woman of our own founty has bjen treated, is enough to stir th deep water of the soul, and fire tho heart of every woman. Sisters, women of Richmond, shall we pass these things by with indifference, and utter no cry for freedom, while brave an t noble men are giving freely their money and thoir lives in defence of their friends and their country, shall wa fold our hands in luxury and ae, while the poor, trembling, pursued free state emigrants are wandering, hungry and naked. beet on every hand bv drunken desperado bauds.

If our contributions can cheer the afflicted, clothe and feed the destitute of one emigrant family, we will send them speedily. The voice of Charity is leading our hearts on on to the scenes of sickness and suffering, to the side of the wounded and dying, to the place where the brave heart! of those who have gone from our midst gave up their lives freely for the sake of freedom in Kansas. Their remembrance shall dwell deeply in our memories, and their virtues be cherished ic our hearts. Methiuks I see in the beaming eye and speaking countenance of every woman the slumbering tires of an enthusiasm that is to iniluence all her actions on this question, and burn stealier and brighter within the circle of home, until its light shall irradiate somj minds now groping in the darkness uf political blindness, and shall finally tell to the emancipation of our country from the thralldom of slavery. Those who have paid any attention to af fairs in Kansas Territory, can but feel for the inhuman tn msters, whose thirst for blood could only b satiated by the aeri!i of defenceless men. unprotected women and chil dren, trampled on these laws.

: these. The rerariou-r writer tries to palm off i William Lloyd Garrison of the Boston Liberntur, as a Republican, in spite of the fact i that he has steadily opposed the Republican j movement, an I that he belungi to that class of Aha'ition dixurtionit trho hare rwrt'ly ! expressed their preference for the elect tun of ; Jatwn R'tch'in.'iii! We heartily thank the i writer of this little pamphlet for the liberal ; extracts which he gives from the speeches of ; these new converts to Democracy; but we protest a gait. st the hard names which he calls them. Just listen to him: "But of all the damnable sentiments thaf ' 1:mvc ever met the public gaze were thosa uttered by that prince of Black Republicans, William Lloyd Garrison, who, in a speech made in New York on the 1st day of August, 13.i, ; iitu-. i'!- inueis tat: tad Almighty his miJ. it im-nos-iiuie, lr.-nthe betnrinj. for lil.r-rty and siavery to iiiiiiI-i Uj 'ti-r, or a uiiioa u ba uiuairt 1 Li:- ,ve aLioiiti'n:t and a iaveho!d-rs hetwoen thtiie v. ho o -ant tis wtio :ir-i oj)reij-.ji.

Remember 'what a beautiful thing it is for brelhrei to1 dwell together in unity." His only fault is, i that, like all the prominent Democrats of the . South, he has the manliness toatioa his sentiments. If you have not the courage or honesty to do the same, pray do not decry thosa ' virtues in your brethren. An attempt is made by this writer to show that Chase, Hale, and Seward are disunionist, i because they voted to receive a petition for the dissolution of the Union suppressing the further fact that they oppose ! the graiitiiiy of the prayer of the petitioners. Then again, Col. Fremont is said to have declared himself unreservedly in favor of the principles of the Know Nothings; though the Committee to whom he should have male the announcement, have, ovcrtheirown signatures, pronounced ii false. Then the Louisville riots are brought forward just as though Republicans had any thing to do with the:n? We leave the writer, to settle this charge with the Fillmore men. We deem it unnecessajy to expose these falsehood farther. Many of them carry their own refutation with them. That is a poor cause which requires xysteiiiatic falsehood for its support. Yet we suppose we must be charitable, and conclude, with Jack Falstaff, that "it is no harm for a man to labor in his vocation." The Democracy have no other weapons than falsehood. They must not be blamed for using such as they have. Tho Democratic Party the Euainy of our Foreign Population.

Such aa atrocious charge was never before given in any court in Christendom. But the reason of it. and of the ac-juit-ta! of Herbert, is sufficiently appare-it.

" These extracts solve the mystery at once t Kieatiag was nothing but a eervmnt, aadaa' Irishman. Aad for a Member of Congress j a Democratic member at that to be hung. : 1 or even imprisoned, for shooting Aim.' the (idea was too absurd to be entertained for a'

moment! If Keating, the Irishman, had shot Herbert, the JewW of Congress, does anybody doubt that he would have been hung or imprisoned? But the whole atrocity of this transaction is not yet revealed. Thus far, Herbert and

', the court that tried him, are the only criminals. 1 Tne same cannot be said of the proceedings in ' Congress. The Constitu'ion declares that either House may, for disorderly conduct, expel a member. Did the House of Repre sentatives inflict tniri punishrunt upon Herbert? Nav, verily; the icvle Democratic delegation in Congress with one or two exceptions, by a formal vote, refuse I even to inquire into the matter thus transcending the guiit of the court which had acquitted him of murder, or even uians?auqfU;r, by declaring that he h id not been guilty ot disord-rly con- ' duct, and that the killing of an Irishman is not a matter of sufficient iniporia ice to require an investigation! And this Dcin cratie Member of Congress now sits iu the c u:nils of the aatioa, with the blood of a fellow -man upon his soul, caressed and congratulated by his brother Democrats, forhiseseapefromafelon's death making laws for the people! Ti'.erj is one other body in which ho has biace held a seat th: Xation-.il D:t;fcratic Convention, chic'i nominated Jaws li-ichjn-tn. We are aware that this fact has been denied, and that his name was omitted from the i;-t of d -legates -that of his contingent b-.-ing ins i ted instead but the proof is posit iv that he sat in the Convention, to whose tl r non but members were aJmittel, ani that he. coansdled :-.:. 1 acted with the California Delegation: an 1 this after the Cjiiventio i hal been requested to exclude him. And not one Democratic press iu the whole land, o far as we have learned, has expressed any di-.sa'iafao lion with all these tl 1 grant ou-rig. The iaf'-r -nce is clear. If tl-u u i luim m. voice of th- Democratic Party ii C ingress, and in National Convnti- is w-.r;h anyiniag. it is n Harm tor a Jl ;n -r ' .tre.-i to shoot an Irishman. And vet ' he .e men are the fri--l f tiejoreigt.-'.:' Aa 1 they d ire ' to talk about the L uisvi!le riots! The case of Keating is, with the exception of the. i "Crirn-4 against Kansas," the fu st instance in the history of this country, or of the civiiiz.-d world, since the days of the French Revolution, in which it trhole political party ti ,' a ni'irdcr. Why, gentlemen, even a hundred yeais ago, under a monarchical government, an English nobleman, Earl Ferrers, was hung as a common felon for the very act shooting a servant while you now palliate and appliiid. And you have the impudence to taunt the Republican Party with being Know Nothings, forgetting that your whole delegation in Congross, during the last contest for Speaker of the H onse, went over in a body to the support of Aiken, the regular K;i w Nothing nominee; deserting your own candidate for that purpose. And yet you d ire to styL yourselves the frie Ji '. our foreign born citizens'. And now if any doubt remains on this subject, hear James Buchanan himself. Here is what hi thought in 1015. He was then a Federalist. Speaking of James Madison, and the Democratic Party of that day, he said: Let noteurforeign-borriciiizens be deceive.! The Democratic patty is your fricnfl so long as it can use you, and no linger. A party whose leaders have trampled under foot all the rights of their own country men as they have done in Kansas and which talks flippantly of reducing white m;n to Slavery, will not scruple to deprive you of your rights, when the ends of the party can thereby be promoted. Your interest, will b - enhanced bv whatever enhances the interests of the whole country, and by that al :v; an d as freedom of the individual is the highest object of civil government, that party which fivois tho extension of Slavery declaring i. to be "a moral an d rehgiau t institution" can never be, in reality, your friends.

When a man condemns the Free-State settlers in Kansas as the anthors of the civil war in that Territory, teUhira that no acts of lawlessness and outrage were perpetrated there until the Territory was iaiorei bv armed forces from Missouri, for the purpose of usurping the rights of the actual settlers.

Slave Driver whom he addresses:

"I have thought it proper to address you this lett6r to igive you assurance that you had NOT MISTAKEN YOUR MAN. nor failed ia the performance of a sacred and fJicd duty to the SOUTH ! '" "In doino so" I violate. no confluence. Mr. Jouenanan is wining. then, that Mr. Brown should say that the Sauik have not mistaken their man in electing him as the leader of the hosts of SLAVERY 1 But what do Northern Democrats say to this? Have thev not "mistaken their man?" Bargain and Corraption between the Bticanan and Fillmore Men. The indications of an arrangement between ihe Fillmore and the Buchanan Slavery Extensionists multiply on encry hand. A Washington Correspondent of ours reports, in a letter which will be found in another part of this paper, that the proposed combination will be consumma ed in the eveut f the defeat of the Buchaneers at the approaching State Election in Pennsylvania. Private advices from that State, however, inform us that the same Buchaneers hare already concocted some scheme not yet publicly devel- : securing the vote of the ate in favor of Border Ruthauism, and that tiieir despair of the last fev days has suddenly been changed to exultation. From New Jersey we also hear that Mr. Buchanan's recent visit to that State has resulted in an agreement to give i he vote ot the Buchanan men there to Fill more iu consideration of aa equivalent in Pennsylvania. In ihis city we known that a meeting of the leaders of the two tactions has just taken place, with a view to a combttiatlv n on the oasis of :;ing to 1- iiimorc t lie in return for I), .'niocratic vote of New York, whieh the Fllmore tu m to be ban led over io f Pennsylvani i are Buchanan. At the same lime, wo are assured that preparations have b.-en mile to rep -at in Pennsylvania the notorious Plaquemines frauds by which the vote of L mi-iana was secured to Mr. Polk The prolonged presence in this legion of Mr. Senator Slidell, who is believed to have hal so considerable a share in those nefarious transactions, is naturally regarded as having s imethiug to do with this part of the new Border Rutli in strategy, without which it is felt Buchanan's election is impossible. Tiie prop 'sltion for traffieing off the v-ots of the Pennsylvania Fillmorcans for tho ;e of the Buchaneers of New York was first made by Mr. Fillmore and his advirser at 15 iffalo before the Maine election had struc She re) ,tion to that gentleman makes it in lis spen- ; 1 tiat he should stand as a candidate. - ; And vet we see that he has withdrawn from the canvass. This is either a confession thai Fillmore has no chance in the State, which is perfectly true, but not at all natural on the part of Mr. Haven; or else it indicates that the bargain with the Buchanan men has been concluded, and that it affords a satisfactory reason fir his abandoning the foi l. The latter is prob ibly the fact Tii9e hrrigtiers evidently think that they can control tiie votes of their respective followers as they would lead so many sheep. They think that their bargains will be cordi ally "adopted and executed by the rank and file of tlt-ir forces. They imagine, too, that bv such tricks and contrivances as iho-e we have exposed, they can put down the great popular revolution which is sweeping over the coua'rv. They fancy that by th:ssys-ni of "truck and dicker," they can obtain from the people a solemn indorsement and approval of the xtciiM a of Slavery by means of frauds, usurpations, civil war. murder, robbery and arson. We tell them it i in vain. The handwriting stands upon the wall, and all the conjuring of their soothsayers cannot avert their doom. Freedom at last is to have a victory. Jefferson's Iia3t Words on 'slavery. The world is familiar with Jefferson's repeatedly -expressed opinions in favor of the ultimate abolition of Slavery in tha Southern States. In hi Notes on Virginia, in his private c rrepon lence, in hisoriginal draft of lite Declara'ion of Independence, ia the ordinance of 1737, and elsewhere, his sentiment on this subject were freely and earnestly uttered. Ti.e Chicago Democratic Press publishes the following correspondence, furnished by a son of the gentleman by whom the first letter is signed, which shows that Jefferson's opinion remained unchanged to the last: Miudlktown, April 2'J, 18'G.

Dear Sir: The subject of your letter of April is one on which I do not pt t rait myself to expresss aa opinion, but when time, pi ice, aad occasion may give it some favorable effect.
