"' I FEEL there is nothing which the civilized world, il
they take notice of so humble a person as myself, will
reproach me with, when, 1 say, a.s I said the other day,
I had made up my mind, for one, that under no circum-

One of the Flowers of Slavery.
We copy the following advertisement pre-
cisely as it has appeared in the Wilmington (N.
C.) Journal, every week since August 1st, 1856,
as illustrating some of the Immunities of Sla-
very, as well as the humanities of the laws ren-

sirable species of property :—-

“ fHEREAS, complaint upon oath has this
day’ been made to us, two of the Justi-
cos of the Peace for the State and County
aforesaid. by P. M. Walker, of the said'County,
that a certain male slave belonging to him,
named BOB, aged about 28 years, six feet
high, and black, formerly belonging to M. C.
Nixon, has absentcd himself from his said mas-
ter’s service, and is supposed to be lurking
about this County committing acts of fellony
and other misdeeds: These are, therefore, in
the name of the State, aforesaid, to command
said slave forthwith to return home to his
master; and we do hereby, by virtue cf the
Act of the General Assembly, in such cases
made and provided, iutimaté and declare,that
if the said BOB does not return home and sur-
tender himself immediately after the publica-
tion of these presents, that any person may
kill and destroy the said slave, by such means
on he or they may think fit, without accusation
or impeachment of any crime or offence for so
doing, and without incurring any penalty or
brfeiture thereby.

day of March, 1856.

$100 Revvard

Will be given for sufiicient evidence to con-
vict any white person of harboring said negro;
thirty dollars for him it taken alive, or fifty
dollars for his head. He has a. wife at Mr.
Wm. Ho.nsley’s. Sr. ; is a son of Old Sam Nix-
on, and has two brothers in Town, one of
whom (John Nixon) is a stevedore, who may
endeavor to get him off. Captains of vesseis

are requested to be on the look out for him.

So shocked were we to find an ofiicial an-
nouncement of law so abhorrent to all our no-
tions of civilization at the South, that we cal-
led the attention of one of our lawyers to it,
asking if he was aware of the existence of such
a code of laws-—when he confessed his knowl-
edge of them, but advised us not to copy it,
an the ground that even our friends might be
shaken in their credulity. But if any doubt
its authenticity, let them call at our office and
read the paper for themselves. Notice, too,
the humanity of this human Ghoul—-$30 it ta.-
ken alive, and $50 for his head .' Reader,this
is one of the beauties of the " peculiar institu-
tion” the friends of Mr. Buchanan are seeking

ties of our la.nd—territories belonging of right
to you and your children, and once consecra-
ted to Freedom by the most solemn covenants.
Shall they do it? _ Answer at the ballot-box

Ir. Kendrickls Speech at the Pill-

more Meeting in New York.

We callhtbe attention of our Fillmore friends
to this remarkable effort of the “gentlemen
from Waterbury,” late Speaker of the Con-
necticut House of Representatives. This is
his language z-——

‘' I cannot sa.y,that Connecticut will go for
Mr. Fillmore, but I can say that there are
strong hopes that she will not go for John
Charles Fremont.” (Applause.)

Now work, here is a Connecticut man:
known to be largely interested in property at-
the South, and who pledged imself to the re-
publican members of the lust House of Rep-
1'esenta.ti\’es, that he should be found with
them in sentiment and action, if they would
vote l'or him for Speakcr,wlio,prctenuing to be
an advocate of Filliuoi-c,at a Fillmore mu-cling,
announces substantially, that he has strong
hopes that Connecticut will go for Buchanan»
and his pro_fe.s.ser_l(y Fillmore audience gm-eh
the declaration with applaltsc‘.

Can any thing else be wanting to open the
eyes ot' honest men to the real object of the
liillmore movement here?

@" We are glad to see that we have a new
and important branch of business opened in
Norwalk—-8. I-Vlzolcualc Flour Store, by J. R.
Brown, Esq., of Ohio. Mr. Brown is known to
-many of our citizens as being a most worthy
and reliable gentleman, and we rejoice in his
accession to the business interests ot' Norwalk,
and especially in the department he proposes
to represent. He is connected with a large
Flour Establishment at the West, and will no
doubt give our merchants a chance to buy the
great staple of life a. little cheaper than they
can do from third and fourth parties.

Too Bad.

A gentleman from Wcstchester Co. informs
us that the Grand Mass Meeting advertised to
come ofi-at Carmel last week, at which Dan'l
S. Dickerson and John Cotton Smith were to
speak, about fifty persons could be drum-
med togeteer, and the speakers had to adjourn
down to Lake Maliopac, where the County

Target Prizes. _.;,, 

We are glad to learn that the Committee
have succeeded in securing several very rich
and valuable Prizes for the South Norwalk

day as an escort to the Cattle Train, and at‘.
terwards proceed on a Target Excursion.-—
The prizes are to be on exhibition at the Fair.

 

To THE L.u>1ns.——The Committee will be at
the Tent. all day Tuesday, for the reception
of Quilts, Fancy Needlework, Paintings, Jcc.
Every precaution will be taken to preserve
them from injury.

 

Tun Fmn.\u:x.—We learn that our Volunteer
Firemen purpose extending an invitation to
the Rippowam Company of Stamford, to" be-
come their guests on Thursday. This is the
Company which took the 1st prizeof $500 at
the New Haven celebration. A Silver Cup is
to be presented them on‘ the occasion of their
visit.

'I‘o Correspondents.

We are in daily receipt of literary and po-
etical aifnsions for our paper. We are always
gratified to receive and to publish articles of
interest written by our young people but our
friends will have to wait on us till the more
important and engrosing questions at issue in
the pending election are discussed, when we
shall overhaul their favors which have accu-
malated on our hands.

Hnnrnu for Oct. is at hand‘, filled as usual
with instructive and interesting matter from
the best authors. For sale by Knapp & Lynes,
and A. H. Camp.

Cxur has for sale Hon. Anson Burlin;rame’s
great speech delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatives, in defence of lllassachusetisf It is
very neatly printed in pamphlet form, and it
ought to be generally circulated.

 

F1u~:mo.\"r STA'l‘IONllY.--' We have received
from Putnam Brothers, Boston, a supply of
‘Fremont Stationery,’ consisting of Envelopes,
Note and Letter Paper. with a very fine steel
plate likeness of Fremont thereon. The en-
graving is a very correct portrait of our can-
didate. _and withnl, very beautifully executed.
The publishers write us that with six presses
running night and day for the past two months
they have been unable to fill their orders, and
.have now added two more presses to the ser-
vice. This gives some idea of the dcsireon
the part of the masses to see the lace of the
next President. They may be ordered in
quantities. and sent by Express, and we will
accommodate our friends who may ‘wish a few
sheets only- . -

Another New Work.

Peterson, 102 Chestnut St. Philadelphia
annunced the issue next Saturday of another
thriling work from the gifted pen of Mrs.
Caroline Lee Ilantz. This like every other
work from her gifted mind, will be awaited
with impatiu.-nee. '

The Steamboat.

It will beseen by advertisement that the

has been purchased by Capt. Green, who com-
mands her, with the engineer. They are both
honest, energetic, practical and thorough
going buiness men. Free from all superficial

are just such men as will do what they say,
and upon whom the public may place implicit
reliance. The Hart has had new boilers put
in and her machinery and bull , thoroughly
overhauled, so that she is now in all respects
a first class boat. If she is supported as we
trust she will be, her owners intend to con-
tinue her herc as a permanent boat, and
settle themselves as residents among us.
She runs in connection with the Danbury
and Norwalk railroad, on alternate days, and
we trust our business men and citizens gener-
ally. who know how to prize agood boat, will
make an effort to sustain her by extending
their patronage and support. Without any
reference to the parties interested in this boat,
we think it of very great value and import-
mice to the town, increasing our importance
abroad, and enhancing the price of property,
&c., and we feel that every citizen interested
in our growth and prosperity should lend a
helping hand. Sustain the steamboat.

Mass Meeting at Bedding.
The friends of Freedom met at the Camp
Ground, Redding, on Thursday lost, nearly
five tlmnsaml strong. They were addressed

. by Hon. Edward Perkins in a most eloquent

and forcible speech of nearly two hours, fol-
lowed by Judge Culver, in one of the most
eloquent and convincidg speeches ever deliv-
ered in this county. The line forming the
Ridgefield delegation was over a mile in.
length, abounding in banners, music and en-
thusiastic Fremontcrs. Their immortal Glee
Club was out in full force and in uniform,
and added much to the interest of the occa-
sion. A Glee Club from Bcthel, led by Mr.
Merriam ofNorwalk, was also an attractive.
feature. The Danbury Brass Band furnished
some most. admirable music. All in all. it
was a glorious day for old Fairfield County.
Our space is so much preoccupied that we
are compelled to emit a more detailed notice.

E. The following. article was unavoida-
bly omitted in our last :—

Premont Meeting at Phenix Hall.
We had a glorious gathering on Friday eve-
ning at Phenix Hall, to listen to L. S.
Peck and O. S. Ferry. Mr. Peck spoke for
about an hour, deducing the most cogent and
unanswerable arguments in favor of our cause
and the election of our candidate. His ad-
dress was strong and logical rather than flow-
ery. but it left its impression on the audience,
and after all is the style'of speaking most ser-
viceable in a crisis like this. Give us the
strongest and heaviest Anglo Saxon that can
be coined, to hurl at that corrupt party which
seeks to assail the very citadel of Freedom,
and Mr. Peck is the man who does it.

Mr. Peck was followed by Mr. Ferry in one
of the ablest and most eloquent appeals we
ever heard tall from his eloquent lips. His
whole powers of soul and body are enlisted in
this contest, and we defy any honest seeker
after truth to listen to his argumentation of
the issues involved in the present contest with-
out being compelled to forever renounce all
connection with the slaveocratic party of the
day.

A Gross Falsehood
Wnsrronr. Sept 18, 1856.

Mnssns Emrons :—An article ap-
peared in the Norwalk Gazette, lately,
in regard to a Fremont Meeting held in
this town. The person who wrote the
article from Westpurt, has taken the
liberty to send the editor my name as
one, who disturbed the meeting. I here-
by inform the Editor of the Norwalk
Gazette that the statement IS an unqual-
ified falsehood, and that the person that
sent my name, as in any way connected
with the afIair,- is an unmitigated scoun—
drel and a liar ; and in fact, the commu-
nicatioh is noting else but a series of lies,

_ got up, like Kansas stories, by the Black

Republican party for Election capital.
Yours respectfully. D. S. BURR.

%* The Doctor’s system must be consider.
ably relieved after the above discharge. and
we are willing to aid in the purification to the
extent of copying his model production. In
behalf of our Correspondent, the best defense
we can make for him will be simply to repub
lish his communication. We think it will com-
pare favorably both in point of truthfulness
and in temper :—

Border Ruflianism in Westport.
Wnsrronr Sept. 5th. 1856, *4"
MR. EDITOR :—Quite an excitementwas
raised in town this morning, in conse-
quence of the insult offered to the Fre-
mont men from Norwalk last eveniua.
The Free-State men in endeavoring to
ferret out the leaders of that gang of
“ Bell Ringers and Horn Blowers.” put
their fingers on some of the government
officials, and prizzczpal leaders of the
do-mocrazic party. They resented the
charge, as was expected, in a complete
" Bully Brooks” and Border Ruffian"
style, and the result was that Dr. Burr,
the champion of Democracy on " knock
down arguments.” and E. M. Lees, the
man for Freedom, and Fremont, came
in rather close proximity. They were
however, soon parted by the Ex-Post
master, S. G. Taylor who informs us
that no bones are broken. The law-
yers sympathize with the Dr., and think
the matter oughL‘o undergo a legal in-
vestigalion. Fnsnnom

A Monster Curiosity.

A monster baby is to be “ shown up” in the
room under Phoenix Hall during the week,
which for size and wheight supasscs anything
the world has ever seen. It is intelligent,
lively and interesting, notwithstanding its
great size, and is in fact a prodigious curiosity.

of ‘the Standard, we publish an account
of the meeting [at Hawleyville] taken
from the Danbury Times, a neutral pa-
per—-rather free-montish in its tone.

Brzdge-port Farmer.

gr-fi*Well, that is rather rich. The Danbu-
ry Times rather Fremontish, is it ? To the
extent of its political character at all, it is
just as Fremoutish as the Bridgeport Farmer
and Hartford Times, and no more so. The
slave democracy have purchased a column in
the Daubnry Times, from which the Farmer
can cull many most exquisite political nose-
gays, just suited to its tastes, but don’t at-
tempt to palm them oil‘ as Fremont sentiments
That won’t go down.

[?TnI~: late affair at Leavenworth
produces much "excitement even in Mis-
souri. Various versions are given of its
cause. The Platte Argus, under the

I control of Atchison, says that -‘ Captain

Emery” was ordered to serve notice
upon all the armed rebels to leave, and
while doing II. was attracted by the Phil-
lipses and others. Who authorized -the
expulsion of private citizens from -Lea‘-
venworth, does not appear, but this un-
constitutional act was done under those
laws which Senator Weller has stigma-
tized as “ infamous” and “ atrocious.”
There was no -‘ rebellion” in Leaveworth
to justify such an act. It is under the
entire control of the pro-slavery party
and always has been. ,
The Leavenworth Herald says that
“ Captain Emery” was in search of con-
cealed weapons in the house, and was
resisted by the Phillipses and others.-—
We believe the constitution allows all
citizens to possess arms.’

The St. Louis Intclligencer, a pro-
slavery pnper,:gives a diflerent version of
the whole affair, on the authority of some
of the expelled inhabitants:-That pa-
per says :

"The details ofthis inexcusable and
flagrant outrage are \ve|l known to the
most of our citizens.—thirt.y or forty of
the citizens of Leavenworth, merchants
well and favorably known to the busi-
uess circles of St. Louis, by their inti.
mate business relations with our city,
were driven out of the place, and com-
pelled, without an hour’s warning ’to
flee for their lives, leaving their stores,
their shops, and their homes to the
mercy of their persccutois. They were
not insurgents, they were not rebels
against the Territorial authorities, they
were not Abolitionists. They were
simply free Stare men, who desire noth-
ing more than the right] of living in
Kansas, and quietly pursuing their avo-
cations—a right which every American
citizen is entitled to, be his private opin-
ions what they may. But. they were
commanded to take up aims in favor of
the pro-slavery cause, and because they
could not and would not do this, they
were driven off, and forced to seek else
where that shelter which they were
denied on theinhospitable soil of Kan-
sas." ’

Here we see that a refusal to join the
pro-slavery party in a crusade against
the free State settlers was the cause of
expulsion of American citizens from
Leavenworth This act was entirely and
wholly unconstitutional. The Intelli-
gencer says:

“If the pro-slavey party in Kansas
are determined to disgrace and ruin their
cause, and to draw down upon them-
selves the reprobation of good men at
the South as well as at the North, they
have only to continue in the perpetration
of such abomniable and hideous outrages
as occurred at Leavenworth last Mon-
day week, to accomplish their aim com-
pletely That shocking exhibition of
cruelty and tyranny has been responded
to by one universal scntjment of execra-
tion, against which even the Missouri
Republican, the vindicator of the acts
of Atchison, Stringfellow, and their
comrades, cowers. The Republican
has justified everything hitherto done
and said by the pro-slavery men in
Kansas, but it has not had the dardihood,
as yet, l0 defend the Leavenworth out-
rage.

" It is just such conduct as this that
coined free soilers cut; of slave State
men, disgusted many pro-slavery citi-
zens of Missouri with a cause associated
with cruelty, o_upIession_and wrong.

The Springfield. Missouri, Mwlwor,
thus comments on the Kansas ¢lifficul-
tles:

“There is one thing connected with
Kansas and her difliculties that others
probably as well as ourselves, have
noticed, and that is this: Ever since the
commencement of dilliculties in that
Territory, there has been a parcel of
men ready to add to the excitement by
spreading false alarms all over the
country On the fir-t. approach ofdau-
ger, such men as I’... G. Roberts, and
others of like kidney, who are more
expert in holding Horses than in the use
ofthe rifle, frantically rush imo Missouri
crying that the aholiiionists are mur-
dering all who oppose their will and
offer them any resistance -—Others. like
Atchison and Stringfellow, send form
incendiary appeals. calculated to stir up
had blood, and lead the unthoughted
into acts of vio|ence.——These men also
tell us that II. is all a family quarrel-.
that government has nothing to do with
it, and no right to interfere,

From these facts the people can readi-
ly see who it is that is keeping up the
excitement and urging their neighbors
to become violators of the laws of the
land, The Pierce admmistration by its
acts, first brought about the difficulties,
and now, with the aid of the abolition-
ists, keep them up. We find the Presi-
dent. encouraging men in the idea that
government has no right to interfere and
and quell these disturbances, by refusing
to order out the United States Troops--—
by refusing to move a finger to allay the
excitement. Party drill and party tac-
tics keep him silent, for fear it will have
a bad effect on the Presidential election
It was such acts and such men that caused
the people of Missouri to be stigmatized
as Border Rufiians, throughout the land,
and almost looked upon as a set of
abandoned out laws. '

Thus it will be seen that even in pro-
slavery Missouri public opinion is against
the aurocities, while the Buchanan pa.
pers and speakers in Connecticut justify
them, and talk fluppamly about " Law
and Order” and Rebellion!

America In slavery not sanctioned
by the Bible.

“Bui.," says the objector, “ if God’s

did not give one man absolute dominion
over another; and if the curse of Noah
on one branch of his family, does not
prove that._God sanctions the enslaviug
of colored men; and if the enslaving
of some of the ancient Cnnaanites, ins-
tead of ezterminating them, does not
aflord sanction to American Slavery.
may it. not derive support from the bond
service of the Patriarchs P” If we look
at the circumstances of tile Patriarchs,
and the way they treated their serv‘s,
we shall find but little resemblance be-
tween the servitude which they prac-
tised, and American Slavery. They
were strangers in a foreign land, travel-
ling from place to place as their necessi-
ties demanded. If the treatment, which
the servants received, did not suit them,
it was easy for them to make thejr es-
cape. And when any did see fit to es-
cape, we have no evidence that the least
eflbrt was made to reclaim them. When
Sarah, Abraham's wife, "dealt hardly"
with her servant Hagar, for her impru-
dence, the latter undertook to run away,
but neither Sarah nor Abraham called
their bloodhounds, or their neighbors to
make chase. But the Lord directed the
fugitive to return and do right. The
Patriarchs seem to have treated their
servants the same as their children.-
They sometimes sent them on important
embassies, hundreds of miles distant,
and entrusted them with 9, large amount
of jewels, and other valuable propertv,
and several camels. They reposed the
utmost confidence in their servants, and
were not afraid of being murdered" or
injured by them. On one occasion,
Abraham armed three hundred and
twenty of his servants, and led them
forth on a warlike excursion, where
they displayed the utmost gallantry,
and achieved a glorious victory. Who
ever heard of an American slaveholder
sending a gang of slaves five hundred
miles, through forests, and mountains,
and plains, to negotiate a marriage con-
tract for his son? Who ever heard of
the parents of a young and beautiful
bride, entrusting their beloved daughter
and a single female servant, to a gang of
slaves, to be transported hundreds of
miles through a sparely populated coun-
try, that she might become the wife of
a Southern nabob? What chance has
an ill-treated slave at the South to es-
cape from bondage? If one undertakes
to run away, how soon are the bounds let
loose, and put on the track, and the
brave riflemen of the region summoned
to the hunt? And when, in time of
war, the proposition was made to arm
the slaves at the South to repel inva-
sion, were not the Southern people more
afraid of armed slaves than they were
were of the British? These questions
are enough to show every candid person
that American slavery is so unlike pn-
triarchal servitude, that even if God had
expressed hisapprobatiou of the latter,
(which he has not,) we arenot at liberty.
to infer his approbation of the former.
We see, therefore, that American slave-
ry can derive no substantial support
from patriarchal iervitude.

Harriet Beecher Stowe’: new work,
cal ed " Dred, a tale of the Great Dismal
Swamp,”demoustraies that Mrs.Scowe’s
success in Uncle Tom was not an acci-
dental hit ; due to being the first to ex-
plore the mine, as has often been said ;
but is as fairly due to the real talent of
the anti-oress, as any of Dicken’s works
are due to the genius of that great writer.
We took up Dred with some misgivings;
but after a hasty persual, we pronounce
it full of beauties, touches of nature, deep
thoughts and free philosophy, far beyond
our expectation. It contains sentiments,
and reflections upon the conventional ra-
Iigions of the day ; the mere exterior of
the religous husk, that may shock peo-
ple whose souls are bound up in formal
and wooden theologies—but the spirit
which maketh alive, seems to be there ;
and genuine religion can survive such
squibs. or it is not worthy‘ to survive,
and the soonerit takes itself out of the
way, tbe_,.bel.ter. Dred, was drawn from

in the Southampton massacre in I831.-
Nat, is described as a fanatic under the
impression that heaven had enjoined him
to liberate the blacks and had made its
manifestations by loud noises in the air,
an eclipse and the greenness of the sun-—
other slaves having implicit confidence in
Not followed his lead. Under this poor
leading and crazy commander, a head-
way was made that frightened old Vir-
ginia so that to this day, they allude to
the Southampton affair, in a mysterious
and cautious paraphrase—thi_s Dred of
M rs. Stowe’s, will set all the world, North
as well as South, to thinking and reading
upon the possibilities involved in Amer-
icnn slavery. It must be a forbidden
book at the South: but none the less
eagerly read or more radically efficient
on that account. V We congratulate the
uuthoress and the publishers, Messrs.
Phillips, Sampson 85 Company, on the
literary and pecuniary success that is
palpably written on the face of this Dred.
In many resdects, it is far more interest-
ing and fuller of touches of genius, than
was Uncle Tom.—Harq/brd Currant.

The Kansas l’erli«ly--—-Shall the

Bayonet be the Slavery Law of

the 'l‘ei-rilol-.ies ‘Z

The Kansas policy of the Pierce ad
ministration, of the Democratic parvy,|
and the democratic candidate for the
succession, all other expedieuts lmving
failed, is the avowed policy now in ac-
tive operation. of making that Territory
a slave State by force of arms.

Sentiment’-. or opinions hostile to the
extension of African slavery are [reason
in I{allSas—Ll‘eu.~‘OlI by various enact-
ments of the spuuons Missouri-Kansas
Legislature-—-treason, from edicts and
rescripts of Mr. Pierce's law officers of-
the Territory. and treason from the ins-
tructions of the administration to its
Kansas Governors and ‘military com-
manders. This prevailing treason has
at length become so unmanageable that
the administration has been driven to
the last resort of rooting iit out by fire
and sword. It has become necessary,
in fulfilment of the original plan of ma-
king Kansas a slave Szate. It was not
intended, nor was it supposed, that the
Kansas-Nebraska bill would be interpre-
ted as an invitation to anti-slavery Yun-
kees to come and settle in Kansas, but
having thrust themselves in where they
were not. wanted, and many of them
having refused to go 011; according to or
ders from Mr. Atchison and his party,
no other resource is left than their expul-
sion or extermination by fire and sword,

This work has been recommenced
with increased vigor since the adjourn
ment of Congress, and with the supplies
of the army bill which our amiable
President so much needed; but as yet
the joint operations of the United
States army and the Missouri border
ruffians have been limited to the tarring
and featherihg of an occasional stray
Methodist preacher, the shooting and
scalping of an unfortunate Quaker or
so, the violation of a female here and
there, suspected of abolition principles;
the expulsion of a score or two of free
State settlers from their homes, and the
seizure of their houses, goods and chat-
tels; the occasional murder of u lawyer
unsound on the nigger question, and the
sacking and burning of two or three set.
tlements that had dared to resist the
demands of Mr. Pierce’s ruflian officials,
their ruflian militia and ruflian posse
comitatus. A wholesome sense of fear
and prudence, that"better part. of valor”
appears to have restrained the adminis-
tration party in Kansas from larger ac-
tive operations for the present, and so
they have hit upon that ancient military
custom of starving out the enemy. To
this end a military cordon or blockade
has been established from the Missouri
river all the way back to the land routes
into Kansas from Iowa and Nebraska,
so as to cut off all supplies of provi-
sions and reinforcements that might oth-
erwise find their way into the belea-
gured city of Lawrence, that hotbed of
armed and courageous rebellion.

This soothing system of starving out
the free State population of Lawrence
-—men, women and chi|dren—wi|l most
‘likely be adhered to by the United
States army till after the Pennsylvania
and Ohio October elections; but then.
should Pennsylvania stand fast to the
democratic cause, we may expect Mr.
Pierce’s “dogs of war” to be turned
loose, as the active auxilaries of Archi-
son and his impatient volunteers. In
the meantime, the numbers and the re-
sistance of the defenders of Lawrence
seem to indicate a resistance too deadly
to be grappled with; and it is possible
that thisdesperare bravery may result
in the defeat of that October Territorial
election intended to close up the work
of making Kansas a slave State, by
military dragooning, ruflianism, and
Missouri ballot stufliuv.

Such are the latest developments re-
sulting from this Kansas perfidy 6f
Messrs. ‘Atchison, Jeff Davis, Pierce and
the nigger driving democracy. It has
not worked as smoothly as was expected
The- "tub to the whale” of popular
sovereignty in the Kansas Nebraska bill
has spoiled the whole scheme. We
have no doubt that the bill itself was a
desperate invention of Senator Atchison
resulting from his desperate poli:ical for-
tunes in Missouri. His idea was to
make himself father of anew pro slave-
ry movement, which would crush out
Bemon’s opposition to Atcliison in Mis-
souri, or open to the latter a new slave
State from which he might justly claim
the honor of the first election to the
United States Senate. This was doubt-
less the origin and the programme of
Atchison, in the conception ofthis beau-
tiful plot. His earlier confidential con-
federates at Washingten. including Jef-“
ferson Davis, Senator Mason, and other
rabid secessionists, had larger schemes
and dreams in view in adopting the
plan of their Missouri pioneer. Mr.
Pterce and Mr. Douglass were simply
entrapped into the plot with the temp-
ting bait oi the Cincinnati nomination;
but being in, it became the manifest pol-
icy of each to outrun the other in the
race for the suffrages of the nigger dri-
ving Southern democracy. Thus it was
that at the meeting of the Cincinnati
Democratic Convention, Mr. Pierce’s
eyes had been so fully opened to the
scheme of Atchison, Davis, Mason, and
company, that he had thrown off the
flimsy disguise of popular sovereignty
in Kansas, and had become the active
chief of the rufiian policy ‘of making
the Territory a slave State by fire and
sword. '

The Cincinnati Convention endorsed
the treason but rejected the traitor A
double policy was adopted—the ruffian
policy of Mr. Pierce—to secure Kansas
as a slave State, and the policy of Mr.
Puerce—to secure Kansas as a slave
State, and the policy of nominating a
man who could prove an alibi in the
Nebraska hill, in order to secure the
Presidency and the spoils. ‘But the
alibi of Mr. Buchanan avrils hirn noth-
ing. He has accepted the Cincinnati
platform. He pleads the Kansas doc-
trine of popular sovereignty in the
North, while he charms the most ultra-
secessionists with his sympathy for Anch-
ison in Kansas, and his craving appetite
for the isiand of Cuba. He tells us that
he is no longer James l;‘mr;lianan, but
the embodiment of the Cincinnati plat-
form and the anointed instrument of the
Cincinnati democracy, of which nigger
driving secessionism is the head and
"Pierce and Form-_v the tail.

To sum up: The Kansas-Nebraska
bill was the result of a conspiracy
among two or three restless, ambitious
and reckless secession democratic politi-
cian-.r——its doctrine of popular sovereign-
ty was a premeduated fraud, a deliberate
piece of treachery of the most infamous
kind, for it opened Kansas alike to slave-
ry and anti slaverji settlers, “subject
only to the constitution of the United
States?’ and the moment it was discov-
ered that the invitation would probably
result in the exclusion of slavery from
the Territory, the system of border ruffl-
anism and democratic terrorism was
commenced. The cheat being thus par-
tially delected, through the brazen faced
counivance of the administration with

To what paltry, petty and contempti-
ble sources we may thus trace the
greatest events in the history ofnations;

ago that the desperate necssities of a
desperate and reckless frontier democrat-
ic politician like Atchisou could possibly
result in less than three years in a civil
war in 21 Territory llllllllliltllied in l 853,
except by Indians, and ill -.1 arraying the
two sections of the Union against each
other, the North upon a Southern man

Northern man and an old federalist——
the one for Kansas as a free State, by
constitutional means and the ‘other for
Kansas as a slave State, through the
power of a military (lE.'sp0tlSlTl ? Yet
thus we stand—Fremont against Bu-
chanan--the North against the South ;
and this is the exact question, not
whether Kansas shall be a free State or a
slave State, but whether Kansas shall be
a slave State from the expulsion or ex-
termination of the free white Northern
settlers by a military crusade, in violation
of the constitution, the laws, and every
instinct of decency and humanity, and
by the government ofthe United States?

Against this hideous and alarming
policy of military coercion for the exten-
sion of slavery into free Territory, the
masses of the North are rallying upon
Fremont: and in behalf of this disorgan-
izing policy of subjugation, the South is
a unit upon Buchanan, Fremont has
the constitution and the right on his
side. His position is that of justice to
the North, the South, and the Union,
because the constitution is with him.-—-

California Herb Pills.

The extraordinary medical virtues of an herb found
in Ckrliforuia is well known to all who have spent a
length of time in that country. The public are now put
in possession of an unequalled remedy by the introduc-
tion of the above named pills, prepared from said herb.
They not only answer all the purposes of a. safe and
powerful cathartic, but purify the blood, remove bile
from the stomach, produce a healthy action of the liver
and bowels, restore lost appetite, and eradicate hnmors
from the system.
