Attention Democrats!

The Democracy of Montgomery County -will meet at the Court House in Crawfordsville, on Friday, the 4th of June, at 1 o'clock P. M. for the purpo3C of selecting delegates to attend the Congressional Convention. Col. Allen May, and other speakers will be in attendance. It is desired that there be a general turnout. By order of the CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. There seems to be an unusual anxiety manifested by some of our Democratic brethren in the District, to hold our Congressional convction at the earliest possible! period. For our part wc cannot see the necessity for this terrible haste. We believe the Democracy of the eighth District prefer waiting until after the Black Republicans make their sclcctiou. They want to see the Black champion of the opposition. If wc are simply to contend against a drunkard and a debauchee wc •can bring out a tlx ird rate nag ami gain an -easy victory, but if wo arc to meet a man one who can lay claim to a moderate share of tno:al worth .is well as intellectual abil ity, wc must place on the track something that can work up to 2:40 time.

J®*Wc have received a letter from Mayor Williams, calling a Congressional Convention to be holdcn at Lebanon on tho 10th of June. Inasmuch as the con tral committee of this county disapprove of holding the convention at a period so early, they not having been consulted, we consider the call as altogether premature The proper place for holding the conven tion has not yet, in fact, been decided.— Tlio Democracy of Fountain arc anxious that it should be held in Covington, while our friends in Boone are urging the propriety of selecting Lebanon. There is plenty of time yet to settle the place and time for holding the convention.

Our neighbor of the Journal seems

to bo terribly exercised about the Sheriff printing. If we arc not much mistaken lie •was in a bad way concerning it in the summer «f 1857, so much so that wc have our doubts whether our worthy sheriff will again become reconciled. Mr. Schooler gave us the sheriff printing from the fact that the Journal, unwarrantable and without excuse, attacked his private business. Wc have never asked for it, and the ehargc preferred against us by the editor of that paper is not only false, but shows a very bad nature, a wretchedness of taste, a lack of that refinement that should characterise A respectable member of the editorial fraternity. Wo sincerely hope dear Jerc. will not follow too close in the footsteps of lis illustrious predecessors, or indulge in oo poignant grief over departed friends. Indeed, dear Jerc., why should wc mourn over earthly things or cry over spilt milk Our advice, dear Jere., is, to put your trust in Heaven, there is where you should lay up all your treasures, and not seek the things of earth, that like yourself are all vanity.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.— £ampson, not the great Sampson of Holy Write, but the modern Sampson, plain unostentatious Sampson Houston, completely demolished the Rev. Mr. Crawford in die bat Journal,

We understand that Mr. Crawford in -his discourse on baptism, made no allusion whatever to Mr. Houston's church. He had reference only to orthodox denominations.

IVThe following original "Valentine to a Cold Gentleman," is from the pen of Estelic A. Lewis:

The New Administration.

flS-Wc notice this morning an immense pile of public documents at the post-office, enough to load down a railroad train, all bearing the frank of James Wilson. Jim is bound to secure a re-nomination if possible, but we' think the chances are rather against him. Dr. Fry's clique-arc busily working through the Journal to defeat him in Convention. The only black republican in the county who stands up for him is Abe. Horner.

®SF*Abc. Ilorncr wc understand regards Dr. Fry's candidacy for Congress as a hoax, a burlesque. He thinks Rube Fink is at the bottom of it, and that the whole thing is intended to bring the republican party of Montgomery county into ridicule.

LADY'S HOME MAGAZINE.—This cxccllcnt Magazine for June is upon our tabic. It is published by T. S. Arthur & Co., 99 Walnut st., Philadelphia. No lady should be without the Home Magazine.

NEW WHEAT.—The Baltimore Patriot has been furnished with a sample of the growing wheat in Virginia. The stalks measure forty-nine inches in head, and the crop will be harvested in May, at least six weeks earlier than the usual time.

The Chicago Press estimates the

earnings of the New Albany & Salem Rail Road the past year at $631,808,00—the Michigan Central at $2,656,471,36—the Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana at $2,1S6,124,97.

A few days since, a farmer, living

near Galena, 111., carried a load of potatoes to that place to sell. The highest offer he could get was ten ccnts a bushel, and, rather than sell them at that rate, he tipped them into the Fever River.

The State of Illinois is said to con­

tain the most extensive coal deposits of any country of equal extent on the globe. It is more than is contained in all Europe. Nearly fifty thousand square miles of sur facc rests upon basins of coal, at depths convenient for profitable miuing, and very often coal is found at the surface, and is obtained by stripping or casting off the layer of soil above.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE!— Not the wheel of Fortunatus—nor a Lottery Wheel —but one far better than either. There's no truth in the former, and no reliance on the latter. Both arc dcccivcrs, and often decoy to ruin. The wheel we speak of is the Wheel of Destiny—the wheel, in fact, of GROVER & BAKER'S Sewing Machine— for its destiny is to do away with woman's toil and woman's sufferings to a vast extent. Set this wheel going, and that sewing which was once a work of time and toil, becomes a pleasure and a pastime. Wonderful has been the revolution produced by the revolutions of this wheel—pale faces have become rosy half-crooked spines, straight dimmed eyes, bright aud ill-tem-pers exchanged for good ones. Why, every father of a family ought to purchase one, just as he would purchase a piano, to promote harmony in the house. The Sewing Machine of GROVER & BAKER takes the lead of every other in all points.

•©'The National Democrat at Indianapolis hoists the name of Stephen A. Douglas as candidate for President in 1860.

•&*The National Democrat, at Indianapolis and the Journal, at Terre Haute, have hoisted the State Ticket. Everywhere throughout the State the Democracy aro united. If any Black Republican flatter himself that the Democracy will split on the State Ticket, this fall, they will be badlr mistaken.

A BLACK REPUBLICAN "BRIBE.** The St. Louis Democrat, a Black Republican print, is very fearful that the Abolitionists of Kanzas will accept the English bill and organise a State government. It urges them not to do so, and points to the fact that the measure is "inferior to the naked Lecompton constitution by fifteen millions of acres!" It tells these "patriots" of Kansas that if they will refuse the proposition of Congress contained in the new Kanzas bill, there is a fair hope of their obtaining the full amount of land claimed under LecomptoD, and regards its acceptance of it by them for that reason an act of "self-abasement." So that Lecompton in that respect is unobjectionable to Black Republicans.

Here is a beautiful specimen of Black Republican honesty. The Black Republicans in Congress and out of Congress have denounced the English bill, which gives to the people of Kanzas three or four million acres of land, as a stupendous "bribe" offered by the Democracy to induce them to accept that measure. They held up their holy hands horrified at the idea of such corruption, forgetting, however, in their zeal, that they had just voted for and sustained the Crittenden amendment and Montgomery substitute, which contained precisely similar land donations. Not only this, they now stand ready to promise the Black Republicans of Kansas eight or ten times as much land as they got under the English Kanzas bill, if they will reject that proposition. They not only hold out this prospective "bribe," but at the same time threaten them, if they dare accept that measure, with the severe displeasure of the Black Republican party and probably cx-communicatiou. The latter punishment would be very severe, doubtless:

The St. Douis Democrat is a very pious Black Republican paper. It denounces the President and the whole Democratic party as "swindlers," "corruptiouists,'' etc., etc., yet that virtuous sheet, and the party which it represents, uublushingly makes the following propositions to its Kanzas compatriots, about as naked a specimen of political immorality and villiany as we ever saw. Here it is:

If anything in the future is certain a Republican majority in the next Congress is certain. That majority will do justice to Kansas. Manifestly it ivill deem it a sacred duty to offset the long injttslice of the National Democratic party to that Territory by the most liberal legislation. It would indeed be strange if the free State constitution which Kanzas will have it in her power to present to the next Congress, should be cavilled at because it was accompanied by a land ordinance as liberal as that which accompanied the Lecompton constitution. Surely they who voted for the Lecompton constitution could not con sisteutly object to another constitution because it donated twenty or thirty millions of acres to the new State. It is clcar to us that by waiting another year in nonage Kanzas will gain some ticcnty millions of acres. It is her province to decide for herself, unless the old cheat of fraudulent election returns is again practiced but it is proper to state that all who have syiu pathized with her from the beginning, and with the cause of freedom would condemn her if she accepted the English bill.

That is to bo the bribe to the sbriekers of Kanzas to wait another year in nonage or leading strings, to continue the political capital of the Black Republican party,Kansas agitation, until another Presidential campaign. If twenty or thirty millions of acres is not "bribe" enough, such are their exigencies that they are doubtless ready to offer all the government lands in Kansas, and if that is not enough those in th surrounding territories, provided they succccd. There's the rub, however. It's a very slender and nnccrtain reliance to go upon. After the developement of Republican hypocrisy about the "land bribe" and "threat" in the English bill, the crocodile tears they have shed over those features of that bill will partake more of the farce than tragedy. Only twenty or thirty millions of acres to tho abolitionists of Kanzas if they will stay out of tho Union! Liberal Republicans!—Indiana State Sentinel.

SSP'Gcneral regret is manifested on the part of the Press of this State, both Democratic and Republican, at the reported insanity of our warm friend and admirer, in Rush, to-wit, the United States Marshal.— One of the city papers seems to discredit the rumor altogether, but on what grounds, we are unable to see. It is a sad case of common sense "gone to seed," and no one can more heartily commisscratc the unfortunate "iudiwidual" than we do.—National Democrat.

JSfWc have regarded the course of Mr. Robinson, for some time past, as that of an insane man. Who is there that doubts the insanity of a man who denies that the English bill submits the Lecompton constitution to a vote of the people? and particularly one that denounces the doctriue of submitting constitutions as a humbug He must be at least politically insane.—Decatur Democrat.

SPAIN, THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.— The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press ays:

It is.certain that the President will not send in any message on Spanish affairs during this session, unless some unforsecn and sudden emergency should arise to demand a proceeding. There arc active negotiations going on between Spain and the United States on all mooted questions between them and so far they have gone on so pleasantly that some who are aware of what goes on are sanguine enough to look for a settlement of them at an early day upon Mr. Buchanan's doctrine of acquisition of territory—Cuba, I presume—for the protection of our own shores against invasion by other powers.

DOBBINS & Co.—We have received a fine lot of music from their establishment. Persons wishing to purchase the latest sheet music should lend to Dobbins & Co. Greencastle.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM FREDERICK LOBA, THE EX-MORMON HIGH PRIEST-HIS PERSONAL NARRATIVE

AND ESCAPE FROM SALT LAKE CITY. The New York Times, of Saturday, publishes a second letter from Frederic Loba, until lately a High Priest of the Mormon Church. We give below the more interesting portions: Loba is a native of Lansanne [sic], in Switzerland, and was a manufacturer of gas on an improved principle until about five years since, when he yielded to the persuasions of the Mormon Missionaries and emigrated to this country, arriving at St. Louis in Dec. '53. While in that city he was appointed by Orson Pratt, temporary President of a Mormon church. He soon discovered that his new brethren were far from virtuous, and learned to his horror that Captain Gunnison was not murdered by the Indians, but by Mormon assassins. Although somewhat shaken, his faith in Mormonism was not yet abandoned, and he started for Salt Lake with strong confidence in the truth of his church, if not in the sincerity of all its professed disciples.

On arriving in Utah, Brigham Young presented him with a house and some land on condition that he should manufacture gunpowder. Shortly after he was made "Professor of Chemistry" and High Priest, and initiated into the mysteries of the Church, which at once opened his eyes to the terrible position in which he was placed. He found himself in the midst of a wicked and degraded people, with the conviction torched upon his mind that Brigham Young was at the bottom of all the clandestine assassinations, plundering of trains, robberies of mails, and the examplar of every other species of wickedness practiced among his followers. Speaking of the unhappy effects of polygamy, he says: "I have seen two young sisters sold by their own father to general Horace Eldredge for some groceries. I have seen men marrying both mother and daughter. I have known another in incentuous [sic] intercourse with his own sister, and then witnessed Brigham Young, taking this last woman as his wife when about to become a mother. One of my own personal acquaintances, W. C. Stains—one of Brigham's favorite "destroying angels" and spies—applied to the Prophet for leave to take a third wife. Leave was granted.— The next day the lover appeared before Brigham with his betrothed, when, greatly to his astonishment, that worthy changed the programme slightly, and married the lady to himself, as he found her a very pretty woman. Poor Stains acceptcd his cruel bereavement as "a trial from the Lord."

He accuses Brigham's brothers, and even the prophet himself, of murder. If any body was even accuscd of having indulged in any disparaging remarks concerning the head of the Church, that man was certain to disappear suddenly and mysteriously—being privately destroyed. All the roads leading to the Valley were generally infested by the destroying angels, either for purposes, of murder or plunder.

Disgusted with the condition of affairs, Loba prepared to escape. Notwithstanding all his dissimulation, he could not escape the suspicion of the despots who surrounded him. He was frequently advised to take two or three wives—he had but one—but he always excused himself. This neglect, and some remarks in regard to some of Brigham's friends, determined the latter to order his private execution.

Finding that no time was to be lost, in company with his wife, the latter dressed in men's clothes, he started on the 1st of April, and after great sufferings, reached Fort Laramie in safety, although pursued by thirty-two horsemen whom Brigham had despatched to bring him back. Mr. Loba is described to be an intelligent and highly educated man, and is now residing in Kansas. -----

TIIOS. F. MARSHALL'S CONVERSION.— One unfortunate circumstance in the present revival of religion has been the number of incorrect reports that arc circulated respecting the conversion of notod individuals like Edwin Forrest, "Tom" Ford, and Thomas F. Marshall. The last named gentleman writes as follows: To the Editors of the Commercial: "In a notice which the Commercial the other day was kind enough to take of my discourse at Smith & Nixon's on Temperance, it was stated that I had embraced Christianity, from which it has been infer red that I had joined some religious sect. I am receiving letters containing abun dance of pious exhortations, prayers, &c., which annoy me exceedingly. I have join ed no church, and have not the most remote idea of doing so. I am no infidel, certainly but have a fair copy of the Scriptures, which I read, and to which alone I refer for religious truths. I have never knowingly deceived any one, and am constrained to take this method of undeceiving the public. "Respectfully,

THOMAS F. MARSHALL.

A SCENE IN CHURCH, IN KENTUCKY.— At a church meeting in one of the "fashionable orthodox churches" in Anderson county, Ky., last week, a clergyman asked for and obtained a letter of dismission for himself and some of the members of his family. He then said if any of the brethren had anything to say about him, "to now declare it, or ever after hold their poace." Whereupon another preacher said something which was not heard by all the congregation, but the lie passed between them. The preachcr who called for the letter drew back his fist and struck the other preachcr a heavy blow, and then commenced kicking him. He kicked him so hard that he demolished his boot. The defendant, being a "non-resistant," made no defense, but went before a magistrate and made a complaint. The assailant was fined $10 and costs, and submitted, beside, to a long lecture from the Court. A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat, in giving an account of the affair, says "the pugnacious divine is a good-looking man, of fine talents, and a great pulpit orator, with prepossessing manners. The fight has raised his standing among his brethren."

The Black Republicans have no

confidence in their brethren in Kansas.— They admit that they are of such easy virtue that they cannot resist a bribe. What a commentary is this upon Black Republican purity and integrity-by Black Republicans! The Democrats have never said a harder thing of the negro-worshippers of Kansas.

Foar Days Later Frtai Einpe.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER VAKDEKBILT.

NEW YOHJC, May 10.-—The steamer Vanderbilt from Havre and Southampton, has arrived, bringing dates to the 28th ult.— The Hammonia, arrived out on the 27th.

The Yanderbilt brings 200 passengers and $128,000 in specie, also special mails made up in Paris and London offices, the regular mails being on board of .the City of Baltimore.

The Vanderbilt reports strong westerly galc3. Disputes have arisen between Persia and England.

In Parliament, the proposition for the increase of the spirit duties has been ncgatived.

There is a stagnation of business in England. The London papers have reports of an expectcd war between the United States and Spain.

Sardinia adopts the principle of the Conspiracy bill. Franco denies intending an increase of duty on iron, by the Iron Masters of France. Austria and Prussia have agreed as to their policy in the Holstein affair.

The dispute between Persia and England is about the illegal detention of the Affghancs.

An inquiry is being made into the relations of Spain and the United States. There is an expectation that Spain will go to war with America.

In the House of Commons, on Monday, in reply to a question, Gen. Peel stated that the entire expense of the war will be defrayed by the East India Company

In the Eight Election District of Paris, there was little doubt of the election of Jules Favrc opposition.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. In the Chamber of Deputies, at the commencement of the sitting of the 20th ult., M. Gulliericz de la Vega inquired in what state were the relations between Spain and the United Statc«, inasmuch as telegraphic dispatches stated that the last accounts from America spoke of rumors of war between the two countries.

AUSTRIA.

The Chronicle says the retirement of Count Esterhazy as Austrian Ambassador to St. Pctcrsbnrg, will be followed, it is believed, by great changes in the Austrian diplomatic staff.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur puplishes the following paragraph in its non-official column: "There are certain persons, wlvo in order to maintain uneasiness in the public mind, daily invent false news."

Thus the Parisian coiTCspond'cnce of the Independence Beige pretends that great maritime armaments are being made in France. This is completely untrue.— There has been no change made in the Budget prepared for the year 185S and 1859.

LATER FROM Kl'ROl'E.

Arrival of .he Steamer I'crsin.,

SANDY HOOK, May 11.—Tho steamship Persia passed this morning with Liverpool dates to Saturday, the fiFSt instant, l'mliainciit.

The debate in Parliament, on DTsrael's Iudia resolutions, commenced on Friday the 30th. Hie first resolution was carried amid cheers, when the debate adjourned.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. Operations on the Atlantic cable were going on briskly forward. Over 2000 miles had been coiled on board the Agamemnon and Niagara. The paying wit machinery had been completed, aud was pronounced perfect.

In the House of Common.?, D'lsnseli's fist resolution, declaring it expedient to vest the Indian Government in the Crown, has passed.

A Conference has be on held at Paris, to indemnify Prof Morse for his telegraphic invention.

India.

Later advices from India have been received, announcing the capture of Shan si by the British, with great slaughter of the rebels.

Advices from India are one week later. The main feature is the capture of Shansi by the British, under Sir E. Rose, with great slaughter of the rebels.

Gen. Roberts had .also assaulted and captured the town of Kotch. France.

Rumors prevail at Paris, in relation to a change of the present system of Administration, aud of the retirement of (Jen. Espinassc from the Interior Department.

Tho Plenipotentiaries here held a Conference to ratify the boundary between Russia and Turkey, and also to consider the claims of Prof. Morse, in Europe, for indemnification for his telegraphic invention. Nothing definite had been resolved upon, but the prospects were favorable for Prof. Morse.

Later.

NEW YORK. May 11.—The Persia sailed from Liverpool at 1(K} o'clock, Saturday. May 1st. She has not yet rcached the city, having anchored at quarantine. The steamer North Star, from this port, had arrived out, Saturday. The Glasgow arrived out on the 28th ult. The ship Nestorian, from Philadelphia, arrivod at Mau ritius, Feb. 2*2d.

The news from India is interesting. Sir Hugh Roso invested Shansi with three brigades, on the 27th of 3Iarch. The rebels, 12,000 strong, retired to the fort. On the next day the bombardment commenc ed. An attempt was made on the first of April, by 2,500 rebels to raise the siege, but they were defeated with a slaughter of 1,500, and loss of all their guns and camp equipage. The town was stormed and taken on the 4th, and the fort occupied on the 6th, the rebels having 3,000 killed:— Six British officers were killed. The Ranee escaped, with a few attendants, hotly pursued.

Gen. Roberts carried Kotch on the 20th. The English lo3s was trifling. The 30th regiment, under Col. Milman, had been compelled to retire from near Assigneni, and at last accounts were shut up at Azingbur. A strong detachment had gone to his relief.

LONDON, Saturday, May 1.—An unfavorable reaction took place in consols yesterday, owing exclusively to political considerations. Closing quotations of consols were lower than on Thursday. The sudden and increased demand for money created a further dullness. Many persons had deferred supplying theiqselves until r:" terday, in hopes that bank no*- *oU,d

reduced to 2.1 per c«»n*

The uasottled position of the Covenant and possible dissolution of the Derby tew,, istry, in case of the- defeat of the India bill, also acted unfavorably. The Herald, however, say8 the opposition in the House last night was not very formidable.

The Daily news says there is not the slightest doubt, that if Lord Derby is defeated on any question of importance, he will dissolve Parliament.-

India.

The country opposite Benares was much disturbed. The Northern provinces were quietly disarmed. Calpec was filled with rebels, and a great panic was prevailing there. A strong column of troops had gone from Cawnpore into Oude, to attack Kanah.

Portugal.

The marriage of the King of Portugal to Princess Stephanie of Hohcnzollern was celebrated by proxy at Berlin on the 29th.

Russia.

The Russia Government has decided to construct three lines of railway between the Black and Caspian Seas.

Paris.

The Moniteur publishes a decree ordering forty-two thousand additional soldiers into active service. The Bourse became heavy in consequence.

THE ENGLISH BILL~SENi,aE!rr

OF

THE INDIANA PRBSfe.

The Columbus Democrat expres^ it, regrets that two or three professed Deio. cratic papers should express themselves in decided terms against the English bill.— It says:

Wc regret this—not that we are altO' gethcr pleased with the bill, but we- think it is the very best arrangement, under all the circumstances, which could have been made. By it, we anti-Lecompton men secure, in effect, everything we have claimed. It is true that the submission of the constitution to a vote of the people is done in rather around about way, yet it is submit-" ted to a vote to all intents and purposesjust as much so as though the Montgomery substitute had been passed. A compromise had to be effected, or an endless and damaging strife kept up in and out of Congress.

All that is said about tho "land bribe" is sheer humbuggcry—and so is the "threat" which seems to horrify Republicans. If the people reject the constitution, as they undoubtedly will, they can, without any other enabling act, go to work and make a constitution to suit themsolves, just as soon as they have a population sufficient to entitle them to one Representative in Congress. Isn't this right? Should Kanzas be allowed to send a Representative to Congress upon a population less than is required of the people in Indiana and other States Wc think not.

The Terre Haute Journal is putting on its Democratic working harness. In Thursday's issue we find the following sensible resolution and suggestion:. m:\

As a firm friend and admirer of Senator Douglas, now that the question is settled and being removed from the Halls of Congress, we are not disposed to cavil or (parrel with our Democratic friends in regard to it. We roitcratc that it does not suit, us, yet for the sake of peace and harmony in the Democratic party, we shall content: ourselves by merely expressing our sentiments in opposition to it. We shall not' keep up the agitation, but endeavor, as far as we can, to reconcile and harmonize the party. This must be done in order to insure success in the future. Let us all, therefore, as wc value the triumph of the National Democratic party, act towards each other with a genuine spirit of forbear-: ance. Do this and all will bewcR Will1 our Lccomplon friends ffo likewise? We will see.

The Lognnsport Pharos, another decidedly anti-Lecompton paper, approves the new Kanzas bill. It says:

There may be details in the bill which may bo objected to by some—or points may have been omitted which inserted, would make tho bill more acceptable' to others. Wc care little for-iltetails, or whetlicr "Lecompton" was submitted before or after admission. The great point is accon: plished—the Lccomptmi scheme is submit-

ted. Tlio people of Kanzas arc to have a fair vote—they arc to say, at tho ballotbox, and have it—if they repudiate it, as we believe they will, no power should' bo allowed to force- it trpoir them.

Some Republicans say tho English bill is a bribe to the people of Kanzas to adopt Lecompton. If the "pure patriots" of Kanzas, who have "fought, bled and died" for freedom can be bought, they aro more degenerate sons than even Democrats think 4 they are. If it is a bribe, to whom is it offered To the Robinsons and Lanes, who have proclaimed undying hostility to Lecompton. The Republicans seem to place low estimate upon the- integrity of the men whom they haivc so long held up to the public, and sworn by a» Republican Kanzas martyrs. It may, however, bo a correct estimate. The Republicans may be justifiable in thus trembling for tho in- S tcgrity of their Kanzas leaders.

They know the men. They may thinkthat in a contest between land and principie, land will gain the day.

Wc do not believe that tho mass of the Republican party agree with the leader*. Our people see plainly, that if the people of Kanzas do not want Lecompton, they need not have it. That is a tangible fact clearly comprehended. They arc tired of the incessant din and clap-trap about "freedom in Kanzas," and are willing that thv people of Kanzas should settle the question.

We regard the English bill as a submission of the constitution, in principle and substance. It leaves the Lecompton constitution in the n^ds of the people of Kanzas—tho people to be bench er injured by it—they will ratify or reject it. There lot the responsibility rest, It can rest nowhere else.

The world is a great inn, kept in a

perpetual bustle by arrivals and departures —by tho going away of those who havo just paid their bills, the debt of nature, and the coming of those who have a similar account to settle. "jMASUNIC.*'
