Affairs in Kansas, EXOITHMENT AGAINST THE ABOLITIONISTS—A PRES SOILER WHIPPED—MBETING IN ATCHISON. ‘rom the Stringfellow Squatter Sovercign, Aug. 7.] @ most interesting ceremony ever witnessed in this town was the whipping ofa ‘ive abolitionist,’ with the euphonious name of J. W. B. Kelly, who hails all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio, by Mr. Grafton Thomason, late of Clay county, Mo. ‘Mr. Thomason, a short time ago, lost a valuable negro woman, who, it was thought, ‘was induced to drown herself by ‘the thieving scoundrel who is the gubject of this article. Kelly, who was heard to express himself in matter, ‘severely re- roached Mr. Thomason for being a slayeholder. Mr. omason, on hearing of the matter, called on the said Kelly, who gave him to understand that he did not speak to men who owned negroes. Mr. Thomason did not wait for a further expression from him, but seizod the independent individual and nearly wore him out against the ground. A friend attempting to interfere was, by one blow from the powerful fist of Mr. Thomason, landed backwards ‘‘on the other side of Jordan,’? A meeting of the citizens was called on the following morning. and a committes appointed to command Kelly to leave the place at,one hour's notice. The absence in the town of the article “tar,” prevented the citizens from donning him a coat of tar and feathers, He left our town between two days; and should he ever come back, he will be forced to go through with a tight rope per- formance. Owing to the excitement caused by the actions of one J. W. B. Kelly, an avowed abolitionist, and to some of his expre sions, which were made publicly on our streeta, and which nearly resulted in his death, a mecting of the citizens of Atchison and vicinity was called to endorse the action of Mr. Grafton Thomason, who gave him one of the severest castigations ever inflicted on a human being. the hour appointed for the meeting, Ten o'clock bei a vast concourse of people assembled. On motion of Robert 8. Kelley, Dr. Dudley McVay was called to the chair. On motion of I Secretary. N. J. Ireland, Fsq., been called upon, in an appro- priate and explicit speech stated the objects of he mect- ing. ‘The speaker went over the actions of this abolition culprit, an erred to the many instances in which he has been heard to cast reproach upon the institution of slayery, and the uttering of sentiments which were dan- gerous to be allowed to be uttered ina slave State. He also referred to the castigation administered to him by Mr, Thomason, of whom, as a slavehoider, he had been making uncalled for and unjust remarks. On motion, a committee of three, consisting of Robert S. Kelley, Albert G. Smith and W. B.« Brocket, were up pointed’by the Chair to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. ‘The committee, after retiring a few minutes, returned, and through the Chairman, reported the following reso- lutions, which were adopted unanimously. Whereas, by recent occurrences it is now known there are among us agents of the underground railroad, for the express purpose of abducting our slaves, and where- as, one J. W. B. Kelly, hailing from some infernal aboht- tion den, has, both by words ani acta, proved himself a worthy ‘representative of such an’ association, and whereas others in the vicinity, whose idle habits and ap- parent plenty of money induce us to believe that they are hirelings of some such infamous society, believe it due, not only to ourselves but the adjoining’ portion of Missouri, to rid ourselves of so great an evil, and for the furtherance of this end do at 3 Resolve: Ist, That one J. Wa B,*Kelly, hailing trom Cincinnati, having, upon sundry occasions, denounced our institutions and declared ‘all pro-slavery men rut: fians, we deem it an act of kindness to rid him of such company, and hereby command him to leave the town of Atchion one hour after being informed of the passage of this resolution, never more to show himself in this vicinity. Kesolved 2d, That in case he fils to obey this reason- able command, we inflict upon him such puuisamont as the nature of the case an] clrcumstances may require. Resolved 3d, That other emissaries of this Aid Society, who are now in our midst tampering with our slaves, are warned to 1 else they, too, will meet the reward which their nefarious designs so justly merit—hemp. Resolved 4th, That we approve and applaud our fellow townsman, Gratton Thomason, for the castigation ad- minia'e.ed to the said J. W.'P. Kelly, whose presence amcog ux isa libel upon our good standing anda dis- grace to the community. Resolved 5th, That we have commenced the good work of purging our town ofall re-ilent abolitionists, aud af-er cleansing onr towns of such nuivances, sha'l do,the same fer the settlers on Walnut and Independence creeks, whose propensities for cattle stealing ave well known to Norris, Robert S. Kelley was elected irman appoint a committee to wait upon said Kelly, and acquaint him with tho action of this meeting. ; solved 7th, That the proceedings of this meeting be published, that the world may know our determination. On motion of R. 8. Kelley, Esq... the chair appointed a committee of three, with Uraiton Thomason, Baq., as chairman, in compliance with the sixth resolution, to notify said J. W. 5. Kelly, of Cincinnati, of the desire of thia meeting. On motion of Mr and G.T. Challis v tee, On motion of Mr. Henry Addoms, copies of the resolu- tions above, and the proceedings of this meeting were or- dered to be made out, and a commitiee of three be re- quested to circulate them, with a view of obtaining sig. natures, thereby showing who were pro-slavery men and John Bennett, John H.

Tne above resolution. having been adopted without a dissenting voiec, the chairman, in compliance with its provisions, appointed Ira Norris, John Pennett, and L. L. Boles, said committee to obtain signatures. The committee appointed to wait or [Mr. Kelly, re- ported that he was not to be found in the city or neigh- borhood, but acting nnder the belief that * discretion waa the better part of valor,” had left some time during the night. Many matters were discussed in regard to the recent depredations of tree soilers settled in the neighborhood, which resulted ina determination on the part of those present not to rest until this neighborhood could say that the foot of no abolitionist pollutes our scil. The resolutions were then signed by several hundred persons who were on the ground. After which, there being no further “business before the meeting, it ad- journed to meet again on Saturday, the 11th of August next.

Ta accordance with the call, a meeting was held in Charleston, on the 15th inst., of citizens in favor of State Rights and Southern Rights, and opposed to the party lately organized under the name of the American party. ‘The hall was filled by the hour of 6 P. M., and a few minutes thereafter the meeting was organized, on mo- | tion of Major W. McK. Parker, by the call of the Hen. W. D. Porter, one of the State Senators, to the chair, and the appointment of the following officers :— Vick-PRESIDENTS. Hon. Jacob Bond I’0n, Jas. H. Trapier, Hon. Wim. Aiken, James M. Stocker, Hon. 8. W. Marker, Dr. E, Geddings, H, A. Dessaussure, Dr. Thomas Y, 'Sfmons, Thos. Lehre, Wm, Lebby, Hen. T. L. Hutchinson, Otis’ Mills, Wm. M. Lawton, Joshua Lazarus, Geo, H. Ingraham, Danl. Heyward, Hon.

Me ‘enzie Parker, Horlbeck, Hear: G, Richardson Miles, E. Tatnal! Paine, ‘The chairman briefly explained and commonted on the objects und purposes of the call which had regulted in the meeting. ‘ The address and resolutions were thea read, as fol- jowss— When South Carolina, after a long period of politica excitement, settled past differences, and, through 4 con- stitutionally preeed on) convention, proclaimed to the world the principles which were held in common by her sons, and, in her sovereign capacity, defined her position in regard to the Federal Union, we had hoped tha’, for a time at least, che might be spared further agitation and party distraction. ‘To the allegiance of her citizens we trusted for uniformity of princip! assured that her sister States of where to find her in time of need. We desired only to keep the ship of State fast at her moorings. We did not seck progress, but simply to maintain steadfastly the position taken by the highest authority known to our South Carolina, we had hoped, would, in quiet dignity, “bide her time” for furtheractlon, . |, It is now ‘manifest, however, that party organization has become necessary to resixt'a new political combina- tion, known asthe Order of Know Nothing, but lately assuming for themselves the name of the ‘American party”’—a party which, in the rapidity of its guowth and success of itaearly movements, having outstripped the numerous fanatical developments in the free States, has reached our State, and has introduced into it principles and practices, new, rous, and distracting. Not- withstanding its professions, it practically repudiates the fundamental principles of civil and religiqus liberty, rejects the right of free'discussion, déntts independence, threatens the subyérsion of the rights of the States as sovereign members of this confederacy, and, in its assertion of the indisputable and rightful sway of the majority, annibilates the independence, | safety, and welfare of the slaveholding States. It then becomes, as we conceive, the imperative duty of all who regard the preservation and faithful consteug- tion and enforcement of the Constitution of these Uni States, as a high political duty, who are resolved to mi tain the rights of the States, und particularly of the slaye- holding States, as incidents of their sovereignty, and the political rights and privileges, as well of the people as of the States, as set forth in the Constitution of the Union, and in that of the State of South Carolina, to array themelves, not in secret, but openly; not bound to- gether by cuths, but by the strong ties which unite thoae who have enjoyed the rich blessings of civil freedom ant religious tolérations; not for the advancnment of selfish purposes, but for the good of the communities in which they live, and of the State to which they belong; not by the’ order of any grand council, but in obedience to their own free and generous impulses; not subject to control, except such as the established laws of their country and their conscientious convictions of auty may suggest—in opporition to this combination now styling itself the “American party,” in order that its course may be stayed; the manifold evils it has produced, and will pro- duce, be abated; its unwholesume effect ‘on the moral character of our State be removed, aud the blighting curse of political proscription and religious intolerance forever averted. We adopt ax a basis of organization for such a party of opposition, the tellowing:— 1, Resolved, That as citizens of the State of South Carolina, we recognize the ordinance adopted by the peo- ple of the State assembled in convention in 1852, asa fart of the fundamental law of the body politic, equal in authority asa declaration of right. with the Constitution itself, and we proclaim, asa cardinal principle of the present organization, ‘That South Carolina, in the exercise of her sovercign will as an independent State, acceded to the Federal Unicn, known as the United States of America; and that, in the exd:cise of the same sovereign will, it is her right, without let, hindrance, or molestation from any power whatsoever, to secede from the said Federal Union; and that, or the sufficiency of the causes which may impel her to such a separation, she is responsible alone, under ‘0 the tribunal of public opinion among the natic earth.’? We consider the proceedings of said convention as hi ing authoritively defined the position of South Carolina and her relation to the Federal Union. And in the opin- ion of this meeting, the obligation of the third degree, as set forth in the Constitution of the National Council of the United States of North America, known as the Order of Know Nothings, isa direct denunciation of the principles of this ordinance, and the position asumed in these proceedings, and the triumph of the Order in this State would effect a political revolution within her limita, 2. Resclved, That we protest against the proposition put y the Grand Council of the Order, in Philadelphia, “the maintenance of the union of these States is the paramount political good”’—a doctrine which assumes that goverment i+ above the object for which it was in- stituted—strikes at the very foundation of the sovereign- ty of the States, and under every violation of the Consti- tution, however flugrant, and under every dezree of op- pression and injury, however destructive, demands of the States eternal and unresisting subjection to the con- tral power; and we disapprove, as heretical in priaciple and eminently dangerous to the Sonth, the idolatrous de- votion to the Union of these States, so prominently and constantly inculcated by the constitution and ritual of the order, when contrasted with their silence as to. the necessity of preservigg unimpaired the rights of the States respectively. 3. Resolved, That we hail with unfeigned satisfaction he recognition by the democratic parties of Georgia and Louisiana of the resolution adopted by the people of Georgia, assembled in convention in 1851; and, as we be- lieve, South Carolina, too, ‘will, and ‘ought to resist, even (as a last resort) to a disruption of every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or in places subject to the jurisdiction ot Congress, incompati- ble with the safety, domestic tranquillity, the rights and honer of the slaveholding States, or any. act suppressing the slave trade between the laveholding States, or any refusal toadmit as a State any Territory hereafter ap- plying, because of the existence of slavery thoreia; or any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves into ‘the Territories of Utah and New Mesico; or any act repealing or inaterially modifying the laws in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.” 4. Resolved, That we sympathize with the friends of the slavery cause in Kansas, in their manly efforts to maintain iheir rights, and the rights and intéresta of the Southern people, and that we rejoice at their recent vic- tories over the paid adventurers and fanatical hordes of Northern abolitionism. That the deep interest felt und taken by thepeople of Missouri in'the settlement of Kan- sas, and the decision of the slavery question. in it, ia both natural and proper; and that ‘it is their right and duty to extend to their Southern brethren in that Terri- tory every legitimate and honorable sympathy and sup- port. 5. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, the nee and progress of the organization known as the order of Know Nothings is opposed theoretically and practically to the principles which have hitherto charac- terived South Carolina asx a State, and the Southern Rights’ party everywhere, ind render a rally and re-or- gunization of that‘party in South Carolina » matter of a duty with those who remain steadfast in the faith, 6. Resolved, That this meoting disa entirely of the introduction of religious testa into the politics of the country, and believes such a connexion opposed to the constitution of the United States, and anti-American in spirit and policy. 8. Resolved, That while we regard the facility with which foreigners of all kinds are admitted to the rights of citizenship, and the abuses practiced under the exist- ing naturalization laws, as proper subjects of legislative retorm, we unhesitatingly and uncompromisingly reject, asa remedy, the formation of secret affiliated politieal sociations, possessed of powers so novel and despotic those of the Order of Know Nothings: and we utterl repudiate the indiscriminate condemnation ant unquali- fied exclusion from the privileges of citizenship of all foreigners whatsoever, which is the practical result of the triumph of the Order, as illiberal, unjust, unwise and peculiarly antl-Amerioan. %. Resolved, That in addition to these «tris tions, we are opposed to the Know Noth cone Because, by its seeresy and mystery, its oaths apd ri is calculated to pri insincer city, and to stite the bold, open, manl conver:ation which characterize the man the freeman, Because its tendency is to organize a band of splos tt every community, to wateh the conduct and cateh th words of the unsuspecting, to be reported to their secre councils, and made the toundation of political proserip tion and perseeation, And becwure ite practices strike at social confidence vndall chat ts dear and valuable in the social relation, WO. Kesolved, That it iv due to the fraternal harmony which hitherto has existed hero, to the future yet certain verily which, as citizens of these slaveholding States, we . ant to resist which, successfully, there should exist unbroken unanimity, that we should, with the ut- ist earnestness, appeal to those who have been led into this Order, to come out from it, and strip it of ite power to do evil, and to all, of whatsoever political designation they may have been, to unite in opposition to an organi: ssful, must prostrate the rights of lates, and in the obedience it exacts to will of a majority, extinguishes the hopes and rights of a minority. me Resolved, ‘Ihat the chairman of this meet m1 ae maant tice of one hundred, who shalt be chetge’ with the organization of a Southern righ posi- tion to the order of Know Nothings, tt: '@ oppost Letters were read from Hon.

Bowie for Comptroller, and Georgy Gale for Lottery Commissioner. A series of resolutions were passed, in which the Convention failed to endorse the national administration, or even to_ mention the name of Mr. Fierce or any of his Cabinet. ‘The following are the resolutions:— Rosolyed, That the democratic republicans of the State of Maryland, by their representatives, here in State convention assembled, re-affirm their devotion to the Constitution of the United States and the fundamen- tal principles of American liberty; und that it is with jo; and exultation that we behold the democratic republi- lan party in its organization throughout the Union main- taining with fidelity the doctrines of its illustrious foun- der, Thomas JeGerson, and true to the principles of the civil and religious rights of the people. Reeolved, ‘That it is with great apprehensions for the liberty of the Union, that we see the Know Nothing party of the North united in a common effort with the direst abo- litioni m to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, in the Territeries, the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, the repeal of the Kanses and Nebraska bill, aad a refusal to admit any more slave States, Resolved, That therefore we are unalterably opposed to the Nnow Nothing party—arrogantly calling itseif the American party—ita organization, its principles and ite objects, as unconstitutional, anti-republican, dangerous to free institutions and destuctive of free sound morals o and trae religion. Resolved, That thus standing ‘by the constitution and the great principles of civil and religions liberty, we recognize all as true friends of their country, who, dis- carding past political aifferences, particularly unite with us im crurhirg out the relentless proseription and ruth- less fanaticism which is now putting in peril our free institutions. Resolved, That in the present «tate of public affairs, in the spirit, and following the example of the: patriots of seventy-six, we declare that ‘‘our opposition to the in- sidious attack of Nnow Nothingism on the constitution will be strengthened by a union of all ranks of men in this State, we do most carnestly recommend that all former difference abont religion and politics, and all pri- vate animosities and quarrels of every kind, from henee- forth ce nd be forever buried in oblivion, and we entreat, we conjure every man, by his duty to bls God, his corntry and to his’ posterity, cordially to anite ia defence ef our common rights and liberties,’” Resolved, That we do hereby pledge ourselves to a zea ous and revolute support of these resolutions, and also to the disposition of a true toleration towards all of every political faith, who may unite with us in this work of public virtue, and we finally declare our trust that the noble foundations of our State, as laid by our ancestors at st. Mary’s, ond which adorn the most sublime pages ot history, so familiar and so dear to every Marylander, cannot be violated, and shall not be, but upon the ruins of the democratic party.

Cnronera in Crncinnati._We learn from the re port of the Cincinnati Board of Health, that the whole number of deaths in that city during the week ending Avgust 14th, waa 185, of which 44 were by cholera. This is a decrease of 9@ in the general mortality, aa red with the previous week, and 36 in the number of deaths SVM Os Lae Oe pNMnidy tid as 4 iduwip iw ab ote fog babies |. Total, 1,127 2,400 1,802 1,450 874 3,626 Of this number, as the table shows, 1,127 are P. E. fund passengers, 610 of whom were ordered out Ly their friends in Utah, and 27 are elders returning home from missions. We have not the means of ascertaining definitely, but the approximate number of those who started to ough to Utah. on their own means is 373, ing the total of those who started from here with the intention of going through to the Valley this season about 1,500, which will leave 2,126 who have located for the present in various parts of the United States in order to obtain means to complete their journey whenever circum- stances will permit. The number of natives of the various countries of Europe may be classified as follows:—From the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, En- glish, 2,231; Scotch, 401; Welsh, 287; Irish, 28. From the French mission, including France and the Chan- nel Islands, 75. The total number from the Scaudina- vian mission is 533, of which there are Danes, 409; Swedes, 71; Norwegians, 53. The total number from. the Swiss and Italian missions is 30—from the Swiss Cantons, 15; and from Piedmont in Italy, 15. There are also 13 Germans and 1 Prussian, ‘The most important feature in the emigration this season has been the change of the route from here to St. Louis via New Orleans, to the northern ports of Philadelphia and New York, thence to Pittsburg by railrway, thence to St. Louis by river steamers, via Louisville and Cincinnati. From the experience of the past season it is evi- dent that the new route is far Resrerenie to the old one, on account of the climate being better adapted to the constitutions uf people from northern latitudes. The emigration gencrally has been greatly blessed in health, and that via Philadelphia and New York peculiarly so. The number of deaths, so far as as- certuined, is far less among the emigration this sea- son by the northern than by the southern roate. The conduct of the officers of the various ships which have taken out the Saints has, with scarcely an ex- ception, been characterized by the most gentleman- ly bearing, and kind and humane treatment. The health, cleanliness, good order, and superior minage- ment which have been evident among the Saints on shipboard, have elicited the most favorable notice from the emigration ofticers of the ports of Philadel- phia and New York, and also from some of the Hawspapers publ ibe’ in those places. The supe- rior character and deportment of the Saints who have this season passed through, and alzo located in some of the principal towns of the United States. is a strong testimony against those gentle- men of the press and others who have taken pains to circulate falsehoods and slanderous reports con- cerning them. Reports have reached us from Atchison that a few have died from cholera at th: int, and also that several have died out of Captain S. M. Blair's company after they had started ou the plains. The cholera has raged ‘© a considerable extent on the steamers, and inthe various towns on the Missouri river, but the Saints have suffered lightly when com- pared with previous years, and the power of the priesthood and the blessings of the Lord have been abundantly made manifest in their deliverance and restoration. The number of saints who have been preparing to cross the Plains this season, has been estimated b: others to be five thousand. How far this approx mates to correctness we have not the means of de- vermining. Much exertion has been made on our part to ac- complish the emigration of the greatest possible number of Saints this reason. The matter of for- warding so great a number of persons over a long journey through the United States and across the Plains, under such a variety of circumstances by land and water, haa evinced the wisdom and energy of Elders P. Snow and John Taylor, assisted by the wise and efficient co-operation of Elders Daniel Spen- cer and John 8. Fullmer, and other elders who are returning home from missions. This has been a subject of no little solicitude with us, but recent com- munications from President E. Snow and Elder D. Spercer, assure us that not.only all the P. E. Fund Peal Shy of this year, but all of the passengers of he ship Germanicus, who were left behind last year, will be forwarded this season. By last advices trem President Snow, it was anticipated that the last company would start a little late, but it was in- tended to load the teams lighter than those of the earlier ones, and trom the early assistance of fresh teams and supplies, which, no doubt, will be sent to meet it from the valley, it will probably be in quite as soon as the earlier companies. With regard to the emigration the coming season, we can give no definite information to the Saints until the receipt of instructions from the First Pre- sidency. With hearts filled with gratitude to the Lord for the past manifestations of His goodness, we feel the assurance that they will greatly increase in a in proportion to the faithfulness of His people. Among the returning missionaries referred to above were Elder C. A. Harper, President of the Norwich Conference , and kider W.G. McMullin, President of the Warwickshire Conterence, who were released from their labors in this land ata very late date, on account of their declining health, and for this reason have been inadvertently overlooked in our notices of the departure of Elders. They sailed on the Juventa on the 31st March. We felt constrained, previous to the ure of the several ships, to call aside the priesthood who were about to embark on them, za give them so- Jemn charge of the souls committed to their trust on ship board. We blessed and instructed the presi- dents of the respective companies, and charged all to continue the diligent and active exercise of their faith, and render strict obedience to their dents, maintain the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and, by a couree of faithful and upright conduct in the dis- chai of all daily duties, insure the favor and blessing of God apon them, that the power of the priesthood might be exerted in their behalf, that all might be delivered from disease, the dangers of the ep and every evil way. Tt gives us the most heartfelt satisfaction to know that these whisperings of the spirit were so faith- fully obwerved, that contagions which appeared on shipboard were successfully rebuked, so that the destroyer had not power to take the life of a single soul. ‘Such manitestations of heaven’s favor will strengthen the priesthood to exercise its functions more efficiently for the salvation of the Saints under every circumstance, and more abundantly magnify the heavenly power with which they are intrasted, while the Saints will increase their faith in God and in his servants, whom he has intrusted with salvation and eternal life for his people. As we turn our minds to contemplate the emigra- tion of the coming season, we are at once reminded that the extent ot our operations must be affected in 4@ great measuie by the faith and liberality of the Saints in contributing to them. i The Nicaraguan Anti-Filibusters. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, Ry the Isat steamer from Punta Avenas, four of the fifty men who had been engaged tor the service of the Nicaraguan government, returned here ina miserable state of health and in the greavest ‘estitation. Many cf the compaiy died cither of cholera or other diseases duting the voyage to Nica- ragna, and shortly after thet #rrival several others. When those four leit the whoie ¢ompany was quar- tered at a stall place called Casti€o, an old ruined fort, in the middie of a swampy desert. They had no arms nor ammunition, no beds, no frnitore of any kind, and, what is still worse, no medicine chest nor health officer. They were living on a Sew bar- Tels of diseased seit meat, beans, and bisenit fuil of worms; and six dollars only had been received by them in forty days, on accownt of the ten dollars promised to them for their monthly selary. Whatever may have been the circumstances ander which there unfortunate fellows accepted the en- ent, which was offered to them by the Nicara- gnan representative in this city, and Mr. White, the agent of the Nicaragua Transit Company, the con. itions of that contract ought to have heen fairly and honestly fulfilled with them. It is stated that the friends of these unfortanate men are determined to institute legal proceedings against the above functionaries, and it is to hoped that oar active United States District Attorney will do his | past ua the premices, Asusus Jostizio. svEnEE FETE: | FEETLELEREESUSER2, 8 5 Es H $3,000 Si 3 ig) cond "Board. $1,100 City RR'6’s, 93%: 3,000 Penna 6" 874; 2,000 Schuyl’Nav Boat Loan, 82; 9 Union pret '6s, 13%; 860 ngs New Creek Coal 'Co, b5, 25; 160 do, 219; 8 Henna Ks 4474; 25 Lahigh Serip, b6, 75; bLe- high Nay, 85% ; 100 Little Schu; DS, 4; 9 Shaye Nav pref, 324;; b6, 4954; 5 do, 4936; 50 Reading Girard Bank, 125). ?
