JUNE 20. LETTER PROM A TRUE WOMAN IN OHIO Cues.nct Ridge, (Ohio,) Jur.t 11, ISoC Dear Mb. Garrison Two heavy and gloomy portents hang over oar guilty Bft'ion two a- eels of horror turtle and waylay us w.rerr we tarn and we shall Dot soon forget again that Slivsry, a great vamnyre, is sucking the heart' blood of our nation that it has annihilated one race, and it fastening it tings upon another, so that already it teems powerless to resist. I tee now, what I have iong wonderei at, not see in? sale forebodine and indignant horror, in the faces of, manr who have been tlow to realise that this monster Is omnipresent, and becoming almost omnipotent that it grins and chuckles oxer Pierce's shoulder, while be abjectly stoora to its weight that it cracks the plan tation-whip over every Northern back in the Senate and erery where. Now, two signs of our shime and degradation bang in the faces of the nations, and they will not let us for get that we are a nation of slaves.

It is the merry month of June, and all aroun is hopeful and smiling but how can we be gay while Charles Sumner's wounds open their gangrenous lips, as though they would presently utter tome terrible im-precation, some baleful curse upon the people that suf fers these things? Can we hope that God's judgment, so near and imminent, will te wrought out without more and more bloodshed, when we think of Lawrence in ashes, and the brutal murder of quiet, icoffensive citizens These two events, so closely connected that almost at the same time Sumner's lordly head struck the di graced and doomed floor of the Senate, Lawrence wss laid in ashes what do they, or rather what do they not threaten When Liberty was burned in Lawrence, beaten down, reviled and insulted in the person of its representative. on the senatorial floor, what doom was the avenging angel writing against our people i While fiends in Kansas, and ruffiins in Washington and elsewhere, exulted with ferocious joy at these events, and fiends a little lower down respouded, what then was the curse pro nounced upon us? But, as from an electric flash of light, people all over the country, of every party, and every grade of intellect, have had a glimpse of our true condition. They became suddenly aware, that when Sumner fell from those vile, cowardly blows. You and 1, and all of us fell down. And bloody treason flourished over us.

Bat the thought that above all must drive the blood from the nerveless limbs back to the false heart of our people, is, that Liberty cannot be burned, or crushed by blows, however neatly, classically, and elegantly laid on. It is a Phoenix, which ever rises from its ashes, 'swift and strong as new-fledged eagles and, from every conflict, it returns clearer in vision, more invincible in strength; for the Holy One watches the struggle, and clothes his beloved child with his own armor therefore, we can have no fears that it will be finally overthrown but the struggle so evidently entered upon must be long and desperate. IIow utterly loathsome are the comments of the Sa-tanio press. North and South, on this affair They would not, of course, be worthy of notice, only that under such miserable attempts at wit as the neat and classical caning, we see that deep nnd utter disregard of all the rights and decencies of humanity which is learned by the habit of trading in human Jeings, and enforcing with impunity a support and vindication of the crime upon others. The habit of defending one's-self, and being defended in the wrong by others, blunts the moral tense, and destroys that wholesome shame which often, in lieu of moral sense, strictly restrains from violence nnd evil and this shame and this moral sense being gone, our nation tied to this wild license of crime, rushes like Mazeppa to a doom we must shudder to think of.

Where will we etop Where is the deepest depth of crime In perfect keeping with this epirit, and with the rof-fiin code of Kansas, would be such law as this 'Beit enacted by the sovereign negro-owners of these United States, that if any person, in Congress or elsewhere, shall be known to advocate sentiments inimical to the existence and perpetuation of slavery, the same hall suffer, for the first offence, beating by any one, and for the second offence, death. My gallant Here we have a Carolinian's idea of gallantry to sneak up behind the back of a man you hate and envy, strike him senseless with the first blow, and continue the blows until tho victim falls, covered with his own blood, and the cuts in the flesh reach the bone. But, says one, he (Brooks) could never find an opportunity to cudgel Sumner any where but in the Senate Chamber, and fas-tened down in his Ah how unfortunate that he did not indulge occasionally in some of the manly recreations that I am told are not disdained by the chivalry of the South, nor many oth ers In that case, he might hare had the pleasure of finding him half-drank, at some place of resort for convivial and not over-fastidious gentlemen. But the pestilent man was always in his chair, concocting another and another 'charm of powerful trouble, and therefore this insult to the dignity of the Senate could not be avoided, and this affair, which might have passed over as a brawl, that it were best not to inquire into, very strictly, has become the business of the nation, and will not only be matter of history, but will form an important era in the life of our republic. I am not in the habit of reading Congressional reports and speeches, having ceased to look for much good from them, and seeing so much of evil, that I turn away as I would from any sickening sight or sound but after hearing of the attack ou Mr.

I wished to feel the charm that had wrought this trouble, and therefore read his speech from beginning to end. Never, I think, from any thing did I receive an impression of greater power and grandeur. It came over me like the sound of many waters.

I want to see what promise of good to the slave the effort holds out. They are to present and adopt a Constitution, this afternoon, and to define and specify their objects, principles and measures.

WRIGHT. From the London Anti-Slavery Advocate. LETTER FROM MR. W. P.

POWELL. Liverpool, 15th of May, 1856. To the Editor of the Anti-Slavery Advocate. Dear Sib, Our mutual friend Mr. Parker Pillsbury, sailed for Boston, per steamer Canada, at twelve o'clock, on Saturday, 10th May.

Before he left, he cave two very interesting lectures to a select circle of ladies and gentlemen, on the ways and means whereby they could aid the American Anti-Slavery Society amongst which he included the contribution of articles to the Boston bazaar, and the maintenance of the Anti-Slavery Advocate. It is well known that Mr. Pillsbury came to this country two years lat January, with a constitution so broken down from the effects of ft long and arduous anti-slavery campaign throughout the north-eastern nnd western states of America, that at one time it was doubtful whether he would ever recover his wonted health, ne ha, however, partially recovered it, and has employed himself in lecturing on the claims of the anti-slavery cause in various parts of the United Kingdom. His earnest, calm, and deliberate appeals I trust will not have been made in vain. I am opposed to chattel slavery from principle, nnd hope to be found always ready to bear a faithful testimony against it.

But, of all the anti-slavery lecturers who have visited this country for the last four years, there is none that I should have so much liked to restrain of his liberty to return to America as Tarker Pillsbury. The cause certainly requires such a man to represent the chums of the mis-represented American Anti-SIarery Society to remove and exrliin away the' false charges so industriously, and often so successfully made against this, the only practical institution for the overthrow of that' complicated scheme of American villiny negro slavery I We want a man like Parker Pillsbury (and he would be the right man in the right place) in this country because be is modest, unassuming, not given to proud and haughty airs, no spendthrift in fashionable hotels, as was the case with other lecturers whose chief study it appeared to be to put money in their own pockets, whilst they secretly slandered the American Anti-slavery Society, and its self-sacrificing advocates. But enough of this Mr. Tillshnry is gone, and the blessings of them that were ready to perish be upon him. Yours, very truly.

Wm. P. Powell. THE COLORED PEOPLE AND THE AMERICAN SOCIETY. According to public notices, the colored people of New Haven assembled in the Temple St.

Church, Monday evening, Jnne 2d, 1856, for the purpose of protesting against the American Colonization Society, especially as it is revealed in the spirit and action of its friends in Connecticut. Mr. Robert J. Cowes was called to the Chair, and Richard M. Hancock appointed Secretary.

On motion, a committee of five was appointed to draft resolutions, expressive of the sentiments of the people convened who, having retired and consulted, reported the following preamble and resolutions, which, after thorough discussion, were unanimously adopted Whereas, Continual efforts are made to procure funds from the people of this State, and from the Legislature thereof, by the friends and supporters of the American Colonization Society, for the purpose of sending us from the State, under the misguided belief, that as a people we are not opposed to the principle and epirit of the said Society, therefore. Resolved, That we cordially approve of nnd re-adopt the united testimony against the American Colonization Society, which the colored people have given, as individuals, and in all their Stale and National Conventions ever since the first organization of that Society. Resolved, That we are opposed to any appropriations being made to the funds of that Society, by the Legislature, because, as a people, we have no intention of ever emigrating to Liberia, or to any other part of the continent of Africa. Resolved, That as our ancestors were brought here by violence and wrong, and compelled to assist in redeeming and cultivating the soil, and to fight the battles of freedom, we their descendants shall stay here and improve our condition, and earnestly seek for the full enjoyment of all our civil rights as American citizens. Resolved, That whenever, as a people, we wish the aid of the citizens of this State or of the Legislature, to transport us to any new locality, we will make the fact known to the public by some one or more of our number, duly authorized to speak for us, and until such agent or agents shall appear, we hope none twill listen to emissaries, whose zeal fir outruns their knowledge whom we have never chosen to speak for us in matters pertaining to our rights and interests, and who continually mislead the public mind by misrepresenting our real condition, and our deliberate purpose to remain in this country.

Resolved, That these resolutions be published as the sentiments of the colored people of New Haven in 4856, as the colored people of this city resolved in 1831, that we will resist all attempts to remove us from this our native country R. J. COWES, Chairman. R. M.

A meeting of the graduates of the Bridgewater Normal School was held at Chauncy Hall, on Saturday afternoon, in regard to the erection of a monument to the late Nicholas Tilling-hast, for thirteen years principal of the State Normal School at Bridgewater. The Committee on Subscriptions reported, that, so far as answers had been received to the circulars, an excellent feeling bad been exhibited but as all might not have had time to respond. tne same committee were instructed to continue their labors, and to receive subscriptions through the publishing house of ide Si Dutton, Boston. Among the designs for a monument presented, wasone unanimously selected, as most befitting the character of the deceased, and a committee appointed to contract immediately for its erection.

The earnestness manifested by thoe in this oHcct testifies conclusively to the esteem and affection with which Mr. Tillinghast is remembered by his pupils. The meeting was adjourned, to lb 3'Jlh of July, to be held iu Bridgewater. TVaa- script. SoiTUEt.x Tort ism.

Cbicaoo, Wednesday, June 11, 1856. To the Editors of the Chicago Tribune I wish to make, for the benefit of your readers, a true statement of the manner In which Free State men in Kansas are treated by the mob which has now possession of the Territory, and Missouriana on the border, as proved by my own case. I emigrated to Kansas in March last, and settled in Lawrence, where I took no part in the political troubles which the Territory has been convulsed. In all re spects, I endeavored to demean myself as a good eitixen and an honest man. On Thursday, the 5th of the present month, I had occasion to go to Kansas City, with my oxen and wagon, for a load of freight, consisting of household goods for an emigrant in my employ, who was with me.

my return with the load. I was obliged to pass through West port. When about a mile or a mile and a half from that village, I came upon a camp occupied by sixty or seventy Missourians and Alabamians. Here I was met by a squad of these men, armed with muskets, rifles and side-arms, who demanded of me to stop. Here' a Abolitionist, was the cry; 'let os have him any bow.

I produced a pass which had been given to me by United States Marshal Donaldson but they swore it was a forgery. They proceeded to break open the boxes the wagon, and to scatter the goods about in the road. While this was going on. I was sent into their camp, where I was questioned thus What's your name C. II.

Barlow. Where do you live In Where are you from Wnterbury, Connecticut. What are your politics I am a Free State 'f How much money did that Emigrant Aid So ciety give yon to come out here IS one I came out with my own Who gave you a rifle Beecher or Silliman Neither I brought no gun of any kind to the What the hell did you come out here for I Why. to get a home and make And to make Kansas Free State 7 That's my intention, now I am here. Why did n't you go to Nebraska? That a good country, and you Yankees may have it but Kansas you will have to fight for, and we'll whip 11 out you, hut we'll get it.

Union or no Union. That ft game that won't win, I ro thinking. After much more of this sort, interlarded with impious oaths and ruffianly threats, I was asked 'If we'll let you go. will you take a gun and march with the Pro-Slavery party To this I had but one word in reply, and that was, Immediately there was a cry for The ropes, boys! ropts. These were speedily brought, and a' noose thrown over my head and around tnvjieck, and I dragged to the nearest tree.

I exclaimed, 'You do not intenerto kill roe in this manner, do you es, your Abolition heart, and all like I begged, if I was to be sacrificed to their fury and useless hate, that -I might have time to collect my thoughts and arrange my worldly affairs. I was told if I had nny property to dispose of. or 'my peace to make with.God, that I would be allowed just ten minutes for both. I eave a man among them, who, I learned, was called Bledsoe, and who seemed to think tha't I was to kil'ed without cnuse, a schedule of my effects, and send it to my brother-in-law at the East, whom I named. At the expiration of the little time given me, I was again dragged to the tree, the rope was thrown over tv ging limb, and, in spite of the remonstrances of Bledsoe and of Tread well, who also began to plead my cause, I was jerked from the ground and suspended by neck I cannot tell for how long, but probably for brief period only, when Tread well, who was called Major, nnd appeared to have command, peremptorily Ordered me to be let down.

I was again questioned Will you leave the Territory if we'll spare your life To this I demurred, saying that I had offended no law, and infringed no man's right. The leader ngain interposed, nnd told me that unless would promise, he could not save my life. He told his that I was guilty of no crime, except that of being Free State man that I had a right to be, though, he would admit that I had no right to such opinions in Kansas. 5 At last, his ruffian followers extorted from me "the promise they required, giving me just twelve hours to make the promise good. I was then sent with a guard to Kansas City, to see I did not escape.

My oxen and wagon were taken possession of, and with less than five dollars in my pockets, was forced to take the next boat, and leave the country. In conclusion, I declare that I am and have been a law-abiding and peaceful man that my mission to Kansas City was one perfectly lawful and proper and that, so far as I know, I am driven out of the Territory because of my political opinions my desire to make Kansas a Free State. My case is not a solitary Every man of my opinions who falls into the same hands is liable to the same abuse and this, in Kansas, called Law and (Signed,) C. H. BARLOW.

From the New York Tribune. OF A NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT. PERILS The subjoined is a part of a private business letter from our Special Correspondent in Kansas. It was not intended for publication, but the picture of the state of things there is so vivid that we lay it before our readers. may be proper to 6ay that our correspondent was originally a Democrat of Illinois, and a supporter of uougias, until the bill convinced him that neither Democratic principles nor the peace and honor the nation had anything to hope from the Nullifiers Slavery Extensionists who bad gained the control that party, and through jt of the Federal Government, Lawrexce, K.

June 3, 1856. I am now in Lawrence. I left Leavenworth City week, or rather was bunted out. I had endeavored cultivate a good-humored and. friendly relation even with the Border Ruffians.

I thought I had succeeded keeping matters in such a position that nothing but premeditated and deliberate attempt to interfere with or the assassiu attack of a few rowdies, would come my way. The latter I did not fear, but I had nearly fallen a victim to the former. Nothing, indeed, but the most determined efforts on my part, and the care of a kind Providence, saved prevented the thread of correspondence temg snapped, and the report reaching my friends of my cruel murder. I am now pio-scribed and hunted like a wild beast. I have had my (-clothes destroyed by going through thickets.

Many times during my escape from Leavenworth did I see, within a short distance of me, men armed with gun bayonet, riding in search of me, and looking for in the bushes, even while I watched them. Several other unfortunate gentlemen, being mistaken for me, have been stopped and seized, and only escaped "by proving that they were not the "Correspondent of Tux Tbibuse." I have never mentioned my connection with the paper where it was not already known, but position in the Committee-Room, where I was constantly present during the sessions, is the cause of this resentment against me. The Pro-Slavery men had no wish to have the testimony published, and hence they have sworn vengeance. Col. Wilkes has solemnly declared, in the presence of several, that he will kill me he hunts me through the Territory.

If he eouie alone, he may come when he is ready but if he comes with a band of bloodthirsty ruffiins, I have only the alternative or nigut or concealment. 1 loxt all my per sonal property at tne sack or Lawrence. They were burned up or stolen from buildings which were burned am urged by all my friends to leave the Territory if I would eve my life, but I shall try to remain if I can do with safety or efficiency in the discbarge of my duty; I may be obliged to fly at any time, or I may be killed. I do not think I have a personal enemy in the Territory among the Pro-Slavery nieu. and 1 know of uu.uuc "-J" "wpi wnai i 1 only makes the matter worse.

That there has been falsehood as well as truth sent over the telegraphic lines by the Missourians who have charge of them, is unquestionable. But these false statements do not invalidate or diminish the reil catalogue cf crime. To enable our" readers to keep the latter in memory, we subjoin below a list of a few occurrences, which are authenticated by legal evidence, and which are not even attempted to be denied. There are five tiroes as many similar ones reported, and tolerably well authenticated. But we wait until they shall be officially and legally confirmed, before adding them to the list.

Re-enacting the slave laws of Missouri, en masse, adding that wherever the word State occurs in tbem, it shall be construed to mean STATE OF AFFAIRS IN KANSAS. New York, June 1 7. The Washington correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser writes A gentleman connected with the Government service on the borders of Kansas has just arrived here, and his representations of the actual state of things alarming.

He reports that there is fighting in all the inhabitable parts of the Territory. The bands of marauders and murderers, called law and order men, Kickapoo Rangers, are roving about the Territory, killing the unresisting, and stealing and destroying all the property that is found unprotected. The Free State settlers rally in small bands for defence, but with little hope of sucoesss, in opposition to the United States and Territorial authorities, and the whole power of the State of Missouri. But the most important fact mentioned by bim is that at least 4 or 5000 wen are now being organized and armed in Missouri, for the purpose of making a descent upon Kansas, and with the determination to drive out of the Territory all the Free Soilers. They will meet little resistance, and expect none at all from the Governor, or from the United States.

They do not think that Col. Sumner will dare to infere, even if so ordered, and if he does, they will drive him out of the Territory, along with bis handful of men. Oovernor Robinson, Deitzler, Brown and Smith are strongly guarded at Lecompton by the Uuited States troops, and if any serious demonstration is made, will be removed to Fort Leavenworth.
