inond Whig—a leading Whig paper of the South—to which we invite the attention of our Whig readers, as we have several thousand belonging to that party throughout the state. They are becoming tired of this everlasting agitation of the slavery question bv the Abolitionists and Free Soilers, and with the Richmond editor, say—"Let us have peace and with the Baltimore American, another leading Whig paper, desire that "the country posessed some statesman, like Mr. Clay, elevated in patriotism and commanding in influence, whose voice oould be heard throughout the land, rally in'g to him the conservative majority of all sections, and bidding Northern fanatacism and Southern ultraism, Free Soil aggression and pro-Slavery agitation alike be still.— We are tired of this everlasting commotion about negrodom the Southern people are tired of it and they want peace and quiet, if it can be optained without the sacrifice of their inaleiable rights." Is there any thing unfair in this request of your Whig brethern of the South, National Whigs of Indiana? We think not.

The editor of the Richmond Whig, speaking of the Missouri restriction says. "Whether it resulted in any practical adT vantage to them, or not, was not so much a matter of consideration as was the repudiation of a principle unfair and anti-republi-can. They only asked of their Northern brethern to' be admitted on equal terms with them into the territories of the United States—the common property of all.- Th

asked for no Congressional legislation, makking those territories Slave Slates, but they did, and had aright to ask for the repeal of such Congressional legislation as made them Free States. "Was this demanding too much of the North? Is it fair that our Northern brethern should insist upon the interpositions of Federal power to aid them in making free States out of the public domain, by prohibiting the citizens of the South from an equal participation therein? The North -would never recognize the power of Congress to interfere njid lpake Stave States then why should the) insist upon its interference to make free States? If it liar, the power in the one case, it. has in the other yet, the North would resist, to the last the exercise of any such power in the former instance.

Will they ask for themselves that which

words, their domestic institutions, at the

ries* it is a matter that must be decided by the naturul course of events. The South

has taken no steps to til! up those TerritoTies with slave-holding emigrants, by the A nid of emigrant societies, or to enter into any sort of a scramble for the ascendency there. She is content with the rigid for

Southern emigrants to remove into Kansas or Nebraska with their slaves, and that right she intends to maintain whether her people choose to go there or not. 5s "The New York Courier is right when it says in a late issue of that paper that: "If we are to judgo by the general silence of their journals, the people of the South take but very little concern in the struggle which has been going on for the control ct the two new Territories. Having essayed to assert a principle by wiping the Missouri Compromise line of 3C deg. 30 min. out of existence, they seem indisposed to carry the contention further." If the North gain the practical advantage in the end by Kansas and Nebraska coming in as free States, let them have it. While they gain that advantage by tho free and untrammeled decision of the people of those Territories, the South will never object, but let them gain it in that way and not seek to convert •the Federal Government into a machine for manufacturing free territories, or into an instrument for destroying the rights and privileges of the people of any portion of the confederacy.

"They boast now that they will gain every advantage in the end—and Kansas and Nebraska must and will be free. Then why longer continue agitation? Why seek to reinstate the Missouri Compromise, while they contend that the very territory over /which it operates will be as much free territory without that Compromise as with it?—

Why not let the subject alone if they are satisfied with such result? They admit themselves that before Congress could act, and 'the repeal of the repeal' be affected, under the most favorable circumstances, the whole matter of Slavery or No Slaver}* iu £those Territories will be finally settled" by the popular will of those inhabiting ihem. "We believe ourselves that the question trill be settled defiuitely one way or the other by the citizens of Kansas and Nebraska long before Congress could dispose of it, and that before the Missouri Compromise could be re-established, or its repeal reaffirmed, the question will be placed be^vond the territorial power of Congress.—

The Sons of Temperance at one of their regular meetings in this place, composed of all parties, determined that a committee should be appointed to propound to each candidate, the question, whether he would vote for and use his influence to secure the passage of a search, seizure and confiscation law.

Now comes the outrageous fraud and inexpressible villainy, which the selfish, hypocritical whig portion of the temperance party attempted to palm off.

Accordingly many Democrats, actuated by the highest moral and social considerations, joined hands and pledged hearts in the common cau -e of humanity, with Whigs and Freesoilers. To this we uttered no word of complaint save that which was implied from an honest difference of opinion. It is true we regretted the necessity of parting with old and tried Democrats in the present campaign, with whom wo had found ourself associated in victory over our opponents in warm hearted contests, but it was a necessity to which we yielded.

If a man be a true minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, he has sought to do to preach Christ and him crucified to his fellow men, without turning aside from that great and noble work to dabble in politics. If he bears tho office and yet has no heart for his chosen work to which he has professedly consecrated all his energies, he proves, by that fact, that he is not fit to be a statesman, so that in either case, he ought not to seek such stations, nor ought they, in ordinary cases, to be conferred on him. We have said in ordinary cases. We admit that emergencies may arise in the history of a country, when for the want of good men among the laity, to represent great principles clergymen may be called into the political arena, just as occasions may srise when it is proper for them to shoulder their muskets and march to the battle field to repel an invading foe but these occasions are few and far between

from Fort Laramie, announcing the treacherous slaughter of a detachment of United States troops by the Sioux Indians.

Our information is, that about the middle of August, a Sioux Indian killed an ox belonging to an emigrant, near Fort Laramie. The chief thereupon sent a message to Lieut. Fleming, the officer in command of the Fort, requesting him to send a force to him, and he would deliver up the offender. Lieut. Grattan, of Co. O 6th U. S. Infantry, with Serg't Favour one corporal and twenty privates, were detailed on this service. How, or at what place it is not stated, but the whole of Lieut. Grattain's party were killed without exception. They must have been victims of a deliberately contrived plot, on the part of the Indians to waylay and murder them. In no other way could such a number of men have been killed, without at least an equal number of the foe having fallen in the encountcr. The massacree was committed on the 18th ult.

It is also stated, that when the Express left, Fort Laramie was surrounded by In dians, and there is reasons to fear that it was destroyed by them. The garrison numbered one commissioned officer and
