‘the act of the Territorial Legislature of
Kansas calling the Convention was C011‘
cerued,‘.I‘ have always been under the Illi-
it was fair and Just in its
provisions. I have‘ always thought me
people should have gone together 911
music and voted for delegates, so that
the voice expressed by the Convention
hould have been the unquestioned and
united spice of the people of Kansas. '1
have {always thought that those who staid
away_from'that -election stood in their
_'own wrong, and should have. gone and
voted, and should have fl1l‘l'll_SiI€d. their
names to be put on the registered list, so
as to be voters. I have always held that
it was their own fault that they did not go
thus and vote; but yet, they hada right.
to stay away. Theyhad ‘a right to say that
Convention, although not an unlawful as-
gemblage, is not alegal Convention to make
a Government, and hence we are under
no obligation to go and express any opin-
ion about it. They had a _right to say,
if they chose, “Wewill stay away until
we see the Coustitutioii they shall frame,
she petition they shall send to Congress ;
and when they submit it to us for ratifica-
tion we will vote for it if we like it.” I
saw they had a right to do either, though
I thought, and think yet, as good citizens
they oughtyto have gone and voted ; but
that was their business and notmille.

,\‘_Vc have been exceedingly amused at’
an article in the last weekly issue of the
Pro slavery organ for this couu ty abom;
Kalisas matters. The Farmer quotes
the resolut-_ions of the Legislature of 1855
denouncing the Nebraska Bill and pro-
ceeds to insist that the Republicans are’
inconsistent in now holding the Adminis-
tration to its own previously announced
principles. _

“ In 1854” says our neighbor, “you
denounced the doctrine of squatter sov-
ereignty, and urgedthc power of Con-
gress over the Territories. N ow you in-
sist that the people of Kansas shall be al-
I0‘-Ved to adopt their own Constitution.
What shameful inconsistency I”. ‘

Stop a moment, _neighbor_! We did-

iudeed denounce the principle of squatter
‘ sovereignty. W'e clainied that the Ter-
Vritories should continue to be regulated-
as they had been niider the Administra-
tions of Washington,-Jetfersoii, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Polk. You insis-
ted that this time—honored system should
be abandoned, and “ the people,” to use
your own deceptive phraseology, “ be_left
to regulate their own’ domestic institu-
tions.” Well, oii this issue the battle
was fought. You beat us in Congress,
in the Supreme Court, in the executive
department, and in the Presidential.elcc-
tiou. You crowed ovor the result as the
great triumph ‘of what you termed “ pop-
ular sovereignty.” Holding our princi.
ples as firmly as eveiythe issue ofthe con-
test, nevertheless, left us the only alter-
native of insisting that so long as you
were in power, you should be faithful to.
the principles‘ you had made. IVe never,
indeed, expected you would be thus faith-
.ful, whenever your slave driving Inag-
ters should find that those principles and
pledges might lead to the weakening of
tlie' peculiar institution. That time has
arrived ; your masters crack the whip,
your President succumbs at once, and you
turn a somerset as iiimbly asauy dancing
Jack. A little while ago, your mom)
was only “ let t/1e people 7-ale." ZV020 you
denounce the people as fanatics and trai-
tors, and impudeutly deny them any right
to -vote against a Constitution which they
abhor. The suple tongue and brazen
forehead of the Bridgeport Farmer are
just adopted for such ii service.

Astounding Developments.
New H.ivi~:N, Dec. 18, 1857.

It will bereniembered that last ;Wi_ntor,
a boy named Cliarles E. Sage, about 19
years of age, was missing from his home
in Cromwell,- near Middletown, in this
State, and that an Irishman iiained Pat-
rick Nugent was arrested on a charge .of
mudering the Ind, and putting his body
under the ice in the Connecticut river.—
In a few months afterwards a. body was
foiiud in the river without. it head.

This body was believed to be that of the
missing boy, from several marks upon it,
as‘ well as from a portion of his clothing.

-Sooii afterwards the lining ofan overcoat

was foniid, answering to the description
of that worn by the. missing person.—-
Some months elapsed, when a sailor named

Benson came to'Cromwell, and directly .
charged N ugcnt, the Irishman, with the

murder. He said he saw the deed done,
and assisted Nugent in pnttingtlie» body
uu_der a haymow. . ‘

He described accurately the lad’s ap-
pearance, his dress, the color of his hair,
&c., and declared that he had. not had
any peace of mind. since the murder, and
that he had come to Cromwell . expressly

A Grand J or ' found a true bill against
N ugeiit, whose time of trial was fixed for
this month. Thus matters have rest-
ed until wit.hin a few weeks, when a cous-
in of the missing boy. living in Ithaca, N.
Y., received an auouyiuous letter from
the interior of Pennsylvania, which he
showed to his father, ‘a Mr. Wi_lliams.

The letter was answered, when another
letter was received from . Pennsylvauirn,
signed William _Riis_sel,which Mr Wil-
liams himself answered.’ He at the
same time addressed" the Postmaster,
requesting h_ini- to watch for the person
who called for the letter, and describe
him. The Postniaster did so, when" Mr.
VVilliains immediately left Ithaca f'or

Pennsylvaiiia, and found Rueso ll, whom he

discovered to he lair mzplzew, C’/umles. E.

P". S.%We learn from Judge Butler,
before whom the -examination was held,
that, the Sailor has confessed that he pick-
ed up the facts about the town, and then
concocted the whole story for the sole
purpose of ohtiiiniiig the $200 reward
0li'ered.

N EW I.-I‘Avi=.N R.-\Il.ROAD.—-The new ad-

« ditioual track just completed between

New Rochelle and Mount Vcrnoii, is,
probably, the best built piece of road in
the country. It has bflL‘ll_COIlSf.l'llCl;(:.‘tI by
the Company, not by coiiti'-.i'ct, as roads
usually are, but all the men engaged on
the work were employed by the day, and
the rail chairs are all of wrouglit iron, and
consequently not so liable to break by the
action of frost as ‘those’ of the ordiiiary
cast iron. The work of coiiiplcting the
double track to W'illi:iius’.bi-idge is rapid-
ly progressing, so that, sliould the weatli

er continue at all favorable for another
month, it is probable that this dcsimlile
and loiig-ncciicrl iuiproveuieiit will be fin-

. L. B. Wuicnr :—Dcu.r Sir ':——For the
last,three years I have been afflictml wit.li
a cough, pain in, my chest, side, and shoul-
der blades. My cough-, pain,-and expec-
't.ora.tion,- continued to increase until I was
given up as incurable. I. became very
much emaciated. I have been treated
by several of the most. eminent pliysiciaiis
of this city all of whom pronounce my
disease 'l‘uhercular -Consumption. After
being ‘given up by my pliysiciaiis as incu-
rable, by chance a. lady you had forincrly
cured, under very similiar circuuist.auces,
recommended uie to try your skill. You.
commenced to treat me about the middle-
of October last. Yours is the only med-
icine I have used since, and you are the
only pliysiciuii I have consulted. I am
some twenty-five pounds heavier than
when you first saw me. My cough has‘
long since left me—-my pain is gone, and
I with all my friends, consider myself well.
There cannot be a shadow of doubt, tliat.
your medicine, with the blessing of God,
has done it all.
I am sincerely your humble servant.

BEST FAMILY PAPER. IN THE WORLD 1
All the Favorite Writers retained, and New

The circulation oftlie NEW YORK LED-
GER is now T/u-ee Ifumlrml uml Thirty
'1'/wusanzl Copies, which is greater than that.
«if any

Ten other Literary

 

Papers in America.

The profits on this
unparalleled circula-
lion enables the propri-
etor of The Ledger to
expend sums upon it

which would 8 .0 0. ll. ';
swamp any ordinary '~
publication.

A paper with a circu-
luliou oI' only a hand-
red thousund or so
would sink under the
expenses of the Ledger
in less than six niouths-

All of the old and fa _
voriteconlrihu tors will
continue to write for
The Ledger as hereto-
fore. No expense will
be spared to so.-ciire oth—,
ers whose pens shall he’-
consi(lerc(1’ competent.

The Ledger is devoted
to Prililt: Iiil.(:X'ail.ll'¢*.

The Ledger is every-
where acknowledged to
he the best family pa-
per in the world--hence
its extraordinary and
unheard-of popularity.

The Proprir.-tor of the
Ledger employs the
best talent. and by so
doing makes the best
paper in the country.

The New York Ledger
is printed on beautiful .

. white paper, and is
composed of eight pa-
ges. uiaking f.he hand-
soiiiest weekly paper
in the Union. It is
published every Satur-

city and town throu_n,rh-
out the country, and is
mailed for subscribers
at $2 per annum ; -two
