It baa been industriously circulated in various quarters that the circulation of the AuzaxcAX is con stantly falling off, and that it must ultimately wind up. We do not believe that any one thinks so, but if ho does, it is only becauso the wish is father of the thought. Kot a few predicted, when we took the paper, that we could not austain its former high reputation. We feared so ourself. but if we bare failed, the people have not found it out, for we now Lave 18 per cent larger list of subscribers than we began with. When the unusually bard times are taken into the account, which have caused many papers to suspend entire ly, and hich have caused hundreds to discontir.no papers they dearly love, and when it is remembered that in the wealthiest and most populous portions of this county, largo Hits were taking the paper at a dollar a year, and now they hive to pay two dollars or not get it the latter alternative being most agrecablo to many poor soulsl and when it is known that auch men as Jones and Dyram have not only discontinued but done all they could to get others to do the tame, (they will see this, for they always read the American,) our increase Is equivalent to at lcajt fiftr per cent. Such ia the verdict of the people. Meanwhile wo havo received not a few notices of the Press. From among these wo make tho following selections that our readers may know how we atand among our editorial brethren: J7Wa Judj-e that the Jmtrtran wilt lo none of lu Interne or elatacy by iha ehanfeof pro brttloras that, nowlU-ladl n Ua ebl mJ talented manner In which Iba editorial department baa boon conducted fr pet lwuty-two -aar, we radlet tl will Uli roUln Iba blfh ami honorable MatUoa Uhaeoeeeplad for eaudor, falrae anil boaeelT Ca-Kf C" Srwt.

Oeorge S. Park, late of the Park ville Luminary publishes a letter in the St. Louis Democrat. He says Mr. Atch' isonhad been organizing secret aa eieties throughout the State, the mem bers of which are to turn out and fight when called upon. All share the damages accuring to any one member; all thall secretlf resist. The object is to destroy tho business character of al Northern men. The Benton and Whig presses are tobe destroyed, and, if necessary, can non is .to be brought to bear on them at a distance the party not to atop nntil all Frec-Soilcrs are driven out of Kansas. Park says ho telegraphed to Gov. Price and President Pierce for protec lion, but has received no answer. He traces to Atchison tho destruction of the Luminary establishment, and prom ises moro developments. Pure Erandy, We published, last summer, a re ceipe for maVta "pure brandy" which the liquor sellers pronounced a fabri cation. The Clneiumti Enquirtr of last Saturday aays: "To those who indulge in drinking brandy, it may be uninteresting pieco of information to give them an idea of what they sometimes drink under the mistaken Ira pression that they are swallowing i genuine imported article. ' A day or two since. Dr. Cox, Chemical Inspec tor of Liquors for this county, had occasion to make a chemical analysis of a cask of brandy, at a place where it was sold very extensively, and found the following component elements larzclr preponderating; Alcohol, prosaic acid, muriatic arid, oil pepper, and tincture of myrrh. - A free indulgence in brandy f character would aid materially in increasing me "undertaking" bwiness.' W dare any of them to charg Hnquxnr with lying. They will be turned out of the party if they do.

The Know Nothing Platform. We gave, last waek, our objections to some of the doctrine of Tht Amer-

iron 0r?a;iJthat assumes to be tLo

exponent of the K. N. platform in the Ah so-called democratic party had United States. Wc continue to review put jn the police offices few besides the same document. Here is its foreigners. That it was threatening third article of political faith: 'Q Cincinnati, when tho demand of the i w .v.ii Catholic Church to virtually abolish Third. We shall oprose the election . , J or appointment of any forvjn born ie frco cbo1-. found abettors and citiif n to any office of trust, honor or advisors in the Enquirer and all of the emolument, under the Federal Gov- Uaden of the So-called democratic ernmcnts, or the employment or en part- Tjut the facility with which listment of such persons in the army lhe mischicf in New York was correct ta Urn of war; maintaining, as we do , , , , , v . tho opinion, that the nativt born citi ed nd lh deftÄt f lH nti-frfe. lens of the United States have the school party in Cincinnati, show that right to gorern the land of their birth; when the American people are aroused and that all ImmISiit from abroad ü reaJ f fc emergency, should be content with the enjoyment ' ' of life, liberty and property, under our But afcr though the pneat and institutions, without seeking to partict Ihe Jesuits might accept pontifical abrate in the enaction, administration, solution, but fuw of tho people would.

Or execution Of OUr laws. . , caao. mat mere may arise circumstances which will justify Americans in preferring native citizens, to kreigners, other things being equal, we readily admit. When, as has been the case in this county,worthy and competent Americana have been thrust aside to mike way far aspiring tor eigners, in order to carry the vote of foreigners for the party thus doing, ev ery senso of honor and Americanism, requires u to say that we will not only vote against that; foreigner, but bat against all his colleagues. Yet we will never agree to oppose foreign crs $implyltcav$9 thty art fowgmti. Many of our best, citizens are of forcign birth, yet they are as Americans in heart, and feeling, and interest, as a native can be. Dut, in view of the clannishncss of foreigners, particular ly the German and Irish of late, anil their demands at a right, that they should have a share of the offices, as a rondition of their supporting, en mane, this or that ticket, wo do not wonder that such a sentiment aa the aboro is very generally adopted, even by the mildest of thoso who would correct the evils into which wo wero running. It is this that innocent and worthy men are made to suffer from the misdeeds of others. We admit that if there is no other way of rebuking this eternal bowing and scraping to foreigners this arraying them, as a body, Hgainst their American fellow citizens, we are then ready to adopt I thiimcBsuro as a derinicr reiurt, but not.otherwise. The evil must be, and will be cured. Bat wo should regret to have it cured at such an expense as this. We' want to go among our fellow citizens, and select tho best men, regardless of their nativity. And wo want to see the time come when we can discuss questions of state and national policy, without hearing demagogues say that the foreign por tion should set themselves as a body against or for it. We are one. Our interests are one, and the foreigner who claims especial privilege at tuch, virtuallv savs thnt he has but par tially thrown -off his love of tho old country, and that he has been but imperfectly Americanized. Every American citizen enjoys, and should enjoy equal rights, not because ho was born here or there, lut lecauu h$ it a has. Hencw we objcct.to the proscription of foreigners, and we ob jct also to allowing themtornle ut, aa they have done, to au intents and and purposes, for years. As to the objection to enlisting for igners in tho army, in time of war.it is simply rediculous. Truer and better soldiers than tho Irish make, never marched to the sound of a drum. We don't know so much about the Germans, for but few of them ever enlist. Thev rjrudentlv prefer the pursuits of peace. Though an unAmer ictnized foreigner neither understands nor loves our institutions well enoughto bo trusted with making or executing our laws, wo br lieve he may well be trust ed on the field of battle. We would not advise nor allow that he should be trusted with the command of the army, or any considerable part of it, yet he may bo trusted to shoot and be shot at. Fnurtk.

This is a very foolish articlo of faith, An oath to support tho Constitution is all a humbug at best. But this is in tended to be binding on Jesuits, and r nests, wno owe supreme allegiance to the Roman church. Now wo may amend, dnuhl and twi.tA,,r t1,. .J aunrrtthn Constitutor,, w I,n. .n rf" van manvfllUklllkl VUU1 binding when itconflicts with the in. structions of the Pontiff.

This power is inherent in Koman ism and inseperable from it. t. :n 1 .1. - -. 1 at win uo acu uitn, wny we uo not at onco advocate a proscription of foreigners, of Romanists in particular, T .1. .. If there are among us so many thou sands of persons who may bo absolved, at once, from their allegianco to the government, are they not a dangerous element? Wo think not, if ivCOW Nothingism prevails if tho American people resolve, that the pan

yrl twelve months tgo, we Rdtnit. Amonrr mir nrrannal lonminlin. o r -- we know many Romanists who would spurn an y attempt to make them false to their country: and wo believe most of them would, in the hour of trial. The thunder of a papal bull is not what it once was, and few feel that the power of excommunication is also the power to banish from paradise. Hence we would rather risk the danger contemplated, than' to proscribe even Priests and Jesuits. Let them vote. They are but few in number, and powerless when not courted by 'opposing 'partin. The present oath is strong enough, - Who Attend the Showi. A careful analyais of the patrons of the shows that annually pass through our country, robbing it of thousands of dollars, and poluting our youths, wo'd help to place a proper estimate on them. Who are they? It is not con clusivo evidence of easy virtue, that a manor woman attends them, yet it is undeniable that all the lewd men and women in the country do attend. We gave great oflens ta the patrons of one of tho most abandoned women in the world, by alluding a few weeks ago to the well known fact that she always at tends. So do her patrons. So do many, who can date their downfall to such exhibitions. Tho lovers of virtue and those who would shield youth from fearful temptations, should act themselves againsf all performances, a part of which are the lewd jests, and obsence songs, of the base men who amuse tho crowd as clowns. Wo Ten turo to say that no truly virtuous young woman can attend such exhibi lions as are tho travelling circusscs and theatres, without feeling her self-re spect is wounded by the deed. Nor are they any better for young men. Tho only difference is that women do not regard lewdness, in men, as dam ning as in their own ex. They will associate with a libertine, invite him to their parties, sit with him at the same table, and walk with him in tho street, especially after night, whon tuey wo a consign ono of their own sex to infa my for half the offense. This is wrong. let the love of sport is so great that many really virtuous persons, will en dure such self mortification, and en counter the known dangers or the show, rather than deny themselves the grau fication. Every careful observer of the pat rons of shows, must havo noticed, another feature. While occasionally a man In good circumstances attends, at least three fourths of those, from whom they gather their wealth, are very poor people. This may be said to be nobody's business. Dut this is mistake. There are scores, who have been suffering the past winter, or living on tho charity of their neighbors, who have spent enough this way, to have kept them from want. Their children are naked, and hungry, and unlearned, We noticed last summer, a very poor man carrying a child, and leading an other, attended by his wife and her sister, and two other children, wend n their way to the "show." The bill for tho 7, could not have been less than 82, and yet every article of clo thing the whole fam ly had on, would not havo brought 85. That family has been painfully destitute, for the '"t four months.

Kansas and Democracy. The State Sentinel has it last dis

covered that there is danger that Kan ias may bo a slave state, it hopes howver that it will not be; But, aho'd it be, it protests itgtiimt the Democra cy's being held responsible for so caaraitous an event. As a Democn.t we oin in this protest, and we think wc are prepared to prove that it ia not res ponsible. When the bill which admits slavery nto Kansas passed tho House of Hep resentatiyes, a majority of the Demo cratic members from the North voted gainst it. When it was first propos d, many, if not most of the influen tial Democratic papers in the North, most decidedly reprobated it, as being 'violation of twice plighted faith," and anti-Democratic' The measure was not a Democratic measure it is not a Democratic measure it never shall be called a Democratic measure bv our consent. In tho name ofDc mocracy and justice wo protest against any such a charge. ; it a Fution measure. 1 nx f csion fartt is rk spomsidlk for tho passago of tho law that opens that territory to slavery, nd it should be held, and will beheld responsible for all tho evils that result rom it. Democrats and Whigs, Unionists and Disunionists of the South, all fus ed, when this question camo up. There were but two or thtco in all the South that did not. In the Senate, all the Democratic members, if wc remember rightly, from the North, fused with Whigs and Democrats of the South, and, in tho Hottso about 43 Democratic members joined the Fusion party the first rusion party, tiix fusion party par-excellence, and carried tho measure triumphantly over all op position. It is not a Dcmocratio mea sure, iho clan trap phraso "squatter at at at sovereignty," now exploded, and the fact that the Democratic President, and ading Democrats of the North, such as Bright, Douglass and Cass, fused with tho Southern fire eaters, gave illdeposed persons an apology for calling it a Dcmocratio measure, and thus deceived many. It is not, however, any uch a thing, and we shall stand shoulJer to shoulder with the Sentinel in the defenso of tho Democracy in this respect. The Fusion party that das chosen to bobaptized Old line, is cspoQsiblc, and it is becauso they have done such a foul deed, that their days arc almost numbered. To this sin, they havo recently added ono or two others, that makes their political dam nation suro. We aro very sorry for them, but we have done our boit to save them, but they would not listen to our advice. Wiiter'i Fatent Wain Tub. We might have said two weeks ago. that wero in tho possession of one of these tubs from the manufactory of Messrs. English it Siran, of New Al bany, who own tho right for Southern Indiana, and who are prepared to supply orders, wholesale or retail, but we preferred testing it thorouglj be foro recommending it. It has now been in use here, thrco weeks, and been tried on all sorts and sizes of clothes, from bed quilts to night caps, and we are authorized to say that it fills the bill, and performs all that is claim ed for it. It is simple and (durable. in its construction, and but little hear ier than an ordinary wash tub. It will bo servicabl in the family of every man who desires to lighten the bur dens of his wifo or daughters, but those who think everything a humbug that does not do, or lighten out -door work, will not buy it, or if they do, they will growl about it. They can buy patent thrashers, or rakers, or culti valors, but a patent wash tub is too small a matter for them. Let all our readers who aro in the reach of Messrs. English and St ran, send for one immediately. We learn that Mr. Doddridge, the proprietor of Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin, has made arrangements for a manufactory here, and that they will bo for salo in Drookvillc nex week. We need not urgo tho men who love their wives, lo buy one Tho will do it without urging. will come with poor grace from some of them to say they can't spnro 80 theso hard times, when they chew and smoke more than twice that amount in a year. jCSTA. 13. Conwellk Sons payed a deserved compliment to the Fayette County Bank, about two weeks ago, in a card in the Conucrsvillo Telegraph They had gathered together some 8 1 3 000, with intent to make the Bank sus pend, but they found it fully able to meet the demand. Iho ConwcIIs af fect to complain because the bank ceased to do business at 3 P. -M., and resumed the next morning at the usua hour. But this comes with a poor grace from a man who suspended at 3 one day and never resumed. 5rWe sec by tho Conrt Records that tho two counterfeiters, White o Buffalo, and Lawrence, of Epping, N II.. have been placed under ten thou aand dollars bonds, for making and selling, imitations of Ayer't Cherry Pectoral. This is rieht. If the Law should protect men from imposition at all it should certainly protect them from being imposed upon by a wortless countcneit 01 men mcuicine as ivjci Cherry Pectoral. We can only com plain that the punishment is not hal enough. Tho villain, who would for paltry gain, deliberately trifle wit the health of his fellow man, by tnk ing from their lips, tie cup of hope wncn tuey aio singing, ana suosutu ting afJhehood nn utter delusion shoulh be punished at leant at severely as he who counterfeits the coin o his country.

The loss is estimated at about 8100, 000, mostly covered by insurance. As the buildings destroyed were mostly frames, and inconvenient bricks, tho fire though a heavy loss to individuals, is a public blessing. &3TK bill designed to virtually nullify tho fugitive slave law in Massa. chusctts passed tho House of Repre sentatives last week by 229 to 43. It had previously passed the Senate. We have not seen its provisions, but docs not allow any stato officer to aid in the recapture of slaves. Later. The Attorney General de cided the bill unconstitutional, and the Governor vetoed it; but it passed again notwithstanding; in the Senate by a vote of 32 to 3, and in the House by a vote of25076. This, together with the votes on Judge Loring's case, shows a strong popular opposition, to the Fugitive Slave Law. JfSrTbe Rushville lacktonian won't exchange. Can we get it, Bro. Robtneon, by paying the difference between it and our paper? We are most froze to sec it. We occasionally hear areport, that, is said to be a discharge of your pop-gun at the preachers. We want to see who gets the worso of the fight. We remember some amusing incidents of old times on training days, that used to make us laugh; and, wicked as it may be, we lovo to laugh yet, once in a while. In those valorous days, after a harrangue from the captain, we used to see the brave soldiers load their muskets, with paper wads, and 'maVo ready, take aim, and fire' at an imaginary foe, and then wo'd follow the amusing scene of seeing the sober ones, who had loaded judiciously, picking up their drunken comrads, who had so overloaded their fusees that tho rebound had knocked them down, while their paper bullets had hurt no one. There are reports that you have had to bo picked up by your friends, after some of those terrible discharges, ith unmistakeable signs, of having been thot in Ute neck, while your game goes along, not even frightened at the noise of your pop-gun. Come Brother Bobitiionjdo exchange, and then point your pop-gun this way once in while, particularly after you havo done with that vagabond, Hibben.

KANSAS. On this absorbing topic tho N. V. Tribune says: It is evident that the timo to try men's souls has now come in Kansas. The villians wh have gone there from Missouri, with club, bowie-knives and revolvers, to override the genuine settlers and establish Slavery at whatever cost, must now bo met determinedly if their nefarious purpose is not to bo accomplished. If the Executive will send thither a couple of regiments to maintain order and ee that tho people of the Territory are not outvoted and domineered

oTcr by Mr. Atchison's gans of brigands from Missouri, very well. Jt is the plain duty of the President to send the troops there for that purpose. No Indian disturbances ate l bo compared in importance vrhih tho outrages thus committed in Kansas. But if Gen. Pierce fails to do Ihn, Ilm people of tho Free Status should t iky the matter in hand and at unco furnith tho peoplo of the Territory with the means of arming and protecting themselves. A hundred thousand dollars would be well expended in equipping, drilling andsupporting 11 corps of livehundred frontier rangers, who might engage in peaceful avocaliom when not on actual service, and in case of need bo ready to smlain the Governor in executing tho laws and J fending the rights of the people. We shall doubtless soon know what tho Executive will do in tho premises. If nothing is done tho peoplo sliould loso no time in taking tho necessary action. The emergency is pressing and the issues of tho struggle unspeak ably important. Pitch ix. Tho election campaign in Ohio promises to be much nftt r tho fashion of the Indiana election last fall. Old lincism intends to court the Catholics and abuse tho protectants. Tho Methodists witl have a share of this abuse. Tho Enquirer of last Friday thus advises the MetlioJists of Ohio, and tho rest of the world, in ref erence to tho Advocate: "We submit that it is about time our Methodist friends who dcs'ro thai their organ should be hat it purports to be, it religious paper, and not a political one, should move in the matter by petitions and remonstrances to the conferences against its present editorial course. There aro hundreds mul thousands of Democratic Methodists who are not pleased to hear the organisation to which they - are attached spoken of in such nn opprobrious manner. We hope the Democratic Eress throughout tho length and .tad th of tho land will enlighten their readers as to the true character of the sheet to which we have of late frequently alluded. Being one of tho Democratic press alluded to, wo wou'd enlighten our readers in reference to the true character of tho hated sheet. Ii i fvarluai and faithful, and can no moro be silenced by such threats ns tho Enquirer makes, than was Peter silenced by the threat of imprisonment, long ages ago. Our advice is, give them more grape, old Charley, and you will get ten subscribers to every ono you lose. That has been our experience. jC7"The Richmond JrJ 'er sonian docs not like our views of Know Nothing ism. Wo have this convolution, in tho midst of so grent a calamity; wo did not try to please him. By tho way brother Elder, do ycu not pay your readers a very poor compliment to dUU up r 'ich n com pound of nastiness for their gratifica tion? Has old lincism, in good old Wayne degenerated, bo that it is nec essary for those who cater to its taste to abandon argument, and resort to language that is used ouly in the brothel and tippling house? Democ racy in Wayne, 12 years ago, was very diffeient thing. It had honorn ble and respectable men in its ranks then, and such an articlo as tho one we allude to, would have cost yon twenty subscribers, if not fifty. But wc strongly suspect that that article was got up in this latitude, nnd for this latitude. It is but a rehash of the very dirty dishes that have been served up to the liquor tellers nnd their customers for a year past, until it has becomo loathsome even to them, while decent men turn from it with disgust. Wo suspect it was written here and sent to Richmond, that it might gain some respectability by getting you to father it, as tho real father of such stuff, has become bo odiou even to his drunken eomraJes, that none but the lowest of them approve his course, If it U republished here, our suspicions will be fuliy confirmed. No McKcr vou Skdastoi'ol. The London Times is in a rage at tho obstinate resistance of the Russians at Sebastopo), and thus cries out for vengeance: 'Never was there a town so little entitled to mercy'as Seba-uopol. It is no tncient city that has grown up under tho inilucnco of nrts nnd inanfactures, and it is threatened w ith distrucion became it evil destinies have made it a fortress. It has been built for the purpose of niennce and nUack upon an unotlending neighbor; it is the instrument as well as the symbol of aggression. To destroy it would be a signal service to humanity one ot those catastrophes of war at wh'cli the statesman nnd philosopher might equally rejoice." tO"Most of the farmers in Springfield township, and a part of Bloominggrovc, will not gather more wheat than they can usu themselves. This will materially affect tho quantity for sale, as these nro our most productive townships. Tho crops on tho rivers and creeks and aide hills were never better,

Additional Tax. It is rumored that the County Com mission intend to assess a tax of five cents, on the hundred dollars, to pro cure a fund on which to traffic in liquor. This may be true, but wo doubt it. It is a tax that no sensible man will pay. There are good and true men, in every township, that will take the agency, and furnish the capital, Mid charge no interest, but pay a lonut to the County for ihe privilege of selling. But these are generally temperance men, and it is supposed they can not get the appointment. We shall ice.

Smith got his arm broken, by a kick from a horse, List week. A Frco Press and a Free Speech. It is useless to talk of a free press and free speech in a land of slavery. They "can not exist. Freedom of tho't, and a free interchange of opinion, nre fatal to Slavery. Hence men who can not meet their fellow men in argument, resort to brutal force to silenco them. The destruction of the Parkesvillo Lumiuary, in Missouri is fresh in the minds of our readers, though but few of tho papers, that are devoted to the extension of slavery over our freo ttr ritory, have seen or published any ac count of tho transaction. Those that have, apologize for the deed, by say ing tint its existence was dangerous to th "institutioni" of the South. To show what is considered dangerous to those institutions vu publish the infla matory articlo. Head it freemen, and learn what slavtiy justifies: 'We have occupied conservative and national ground, promptly oppos ing the measures nnd men, who have brought on ll is crisis. Will tho Pres idenl meet it? Surely he cannot lon gtr folhv counsel from among Aboli lemists nnd ISuIIiliers. The country demands, ti nt sound, urm, enen;tic men, have the direction of public af fairs, who will impress and enforce justice and law. There is virtually no law In Kansas, and no security for life nnd property save in the sense of nonor mm justice cnerisneu oy every trtk pioneer. lliis mat savo the country from bloodshed, but the Gov eminent is held up to ridicule nnd contempt, nnd Its authority disregaid ed; judges of election have been dis plactd, nnd others appointed the polls have in some instances been guar ded with pistols and bowie-knifes and some of thoso elerled are going to ho Governor awearinpf that if ho docs tun give ncertiGcnte of election imme diately ho will 4'cut his throat from et'r to car!" Is the flag of our country to be no longer a prote:tion? or are individuals or companies of men to declare vk will! and it must be so without regord to law? Is this what the authors of tho Nebraska-Kansas bill meant by Squatter Sovereignty?" There it is fellow citizens. Such American sentiments are said to justi fv the destruction of tho press that printed them and the lynching and death of him who wrote them. When the outrage was committed Mr. t ark, tne editor, was absent in Kansas, At the time, the rioters re solved th tt if he did not leave immedi ately on his re tuen, he fchould find a grave in tho Missouri River. At the timo of this writing, rumors aro afloat, that his property has been destroyed by fire and himself lynched. It may be true. If not, tt will be, before long, though we opine that the author o tho following appeal would bo a hard man to lynch. But, if the propaga lion of slavery, requires such a sacri lice, it will bo done, But, Mr. Park 1 . .Vi I II ! a mayuie, yet, lie snail live aj-ain. Though dead he will speak; and slain in the defenso of the freedom o tho pi ess and the freedom of speech I every drop of his blood will be instinct with life, and fearful will be the army that will spring up to take his place in tho great moral and political battle that is just coming on. Truth cannot be ro crushed to earth as not to rise again. Turbid as aro tho waters the Missouri, they cannot conceal his blood. Geo. S. Park, is one of the men that cannot die, ns you will per ceivc from his appeal. As to his press that lies unmoved in tho muddy Missouri, it never issued sterner truths, than it now silently puts forth. It speaks of human right nnd human wrongs. It illustrates what is squatter sovereignty in the sense of its advocates nnd 'defenders and thousands nnd tens of thousands that twelve months ago bowed the neck to party masters, and sustained the traitors that sold tint fair land to slavery, becauso they, thought it was Democrrtie to do o, now declare in the biht of high heaven, that hence forth they will resist the pi ogress of the slavery fiend that threatens to destroy our peace and happiness. But hero is tho appeal: t LKTTKR FROM. Kit HARK. To Tits Public When our print ing-ollico was destroyed, I was absent m Kansas Territory and returned forthwith on receiving information 0 it. 1 am filled with tho deepest con ccrn for the events that have transpir cd and tho passions that bear sway premeditated us they have been by a Y a J I a largo nnd powtnui secret association I nm happy to know that the cit:?en of Parkviile and vicinity took no pnrt in it; and why my life and property should be- destroyed by any portion of this community I cannot tell; tho charge of Abolitionism is falte; I havo never harbored a thought nor meditat d an action detrimental to the honor,

the interest t r institutions of Missouri

but have labored unceasingly to promote her DrosDerity. It is true I have not believed the honor and interests of Missiouri to be in that course of policy marked out by some politicians duty has compelled me to cross their path, which has brought on my devoted head the bitterest persecution Ourpnpcr can be read it will speale for ilstff. It does not claim perfecta n the leading objects have been to romotc the principles of temperance morality and virtue; to take a conservative polilicial stand, and by moderating the extremes, nnd by softening sectional asperities, to promote the general good of the country and ... ., , . he perpetuity 01 1110 American union. I love the South, and have t-pent the best energies of my lifo to advance ier interest and her clory. Ihe battle-field of Texas are eternal evidences of the fact; where individual nterpriso gathered around tho gallant Iouston, and by incredible hardship and almost superhuman exertion the independance of that vast country was achieved now one of the brightest stars in the constellation of Stales; and I refer to my fellow -citizens to attest the fact that while I havo resided in Missouri I have labored unceasingly to promoto her interests. I love the North, too; never, while ife lasts, shall I forcct the green hills of Vermont where rests the grave of my mother; nor the deeds or the men of '70; nor the virtues nnd energies of those who have made those States a beacon-light thewonda . a a er and admiration 01 the world and I shall ever look upon their glory as the common inheritance of every American citizen. With regard to leaving this com munity, I would do so chcerfullr, m soon as I could dispose of my interest Here, were 1 satisueu inai n lurtner residence was not agreeable; but to leave the grave of my wife, the home I havo toiled years to embellish and improve and many interests interwoven with the growth and prosperity of tho country and llee for no offense, like a base culprit I cannot. I would prefer death at my own home amid the (lowers and trees planted and consecrated by affection and upon the soil of the country I have toiled to build up. Our press has been thrown into the Missouri River I maybe buried there looan humblo individual is in the ()owcr of hundreds of armed menbut lis death will not destroy the freedom of tho American Press 1 independence of thought and action is inherent in (he bosom of every freomsn, nnd it will gush up like a pcrpetual fountain for ever! uod lias impressed on ms un iverse the principles of truth and justice, and they must prevail. If there is no security in the land 01 Washington; if an American home affords nopro'.ection; if tho time hat arrived when this Union must be dis solved, nnd all its kindred tics and mighty interests broken and destroyed and our land drenched with fraternal blood, then let mo bo buried beneath tho turbid waters of the Missouri rath er than livo to behold such a scene.
