This series of operations he performed several times, after winch ho rushed about the boat, wildly and hopulcssly ejaculating; "What's the timo cr day? wonder if my repeater's too fast? whar's the captain? whar's the steward? whar'a the m ite? whar's the boss that owns this nhip?'

Emigrants from t'.e Southern States do not go to Kansas, because they will not put their alave property in peril, by taking it into a territory where there is a Mrong Freenoil element, threa'ening the necurity of fclavcs. Any man of sense might have foreseen this result. Alabama and (Jeoigi. may hold public meetings, and resolve to sustain the slaveholders in Missouri in making Knnsns a slave State. But their resolutions comprise all their aid which is not "material' enou 'h for the crisis. When slaveholders of Alabama and Georgia emigrate, tlit-y go to Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, They do not come, wiih their slaves, to Missouri or Kan sits. Cull they that, backing their friends ?

Missouri did not demand that repeal. Tho South never asked it. Atchison solicited it and in a moment of political insanity, the South consented to the wrong und made the -wrong her own. This was the suicide of slavery. Every step aincc taken has deepened tho wrong and enhanced tho dan

ger. Tho Free States organized Aid Societies, and sent their men to make Kansas free. It had been free soil, by aolemn compact, for thirty-Gve years; and they naturally were incensed to see its character changed. The South would have been far more indignant if a slave territory had been thus, by unexpected act of Congress, converted into Free Soil. Tho free States had a right lo be indignant that a life-long Compromise had been repealed and they had a right to try to keep Kansas Iree as it had been, by peaceable colonization. They attempted nothing else. Uut a portion of the citizens of Missouri, lieaded by Atchison tt Stringfelllo w, denounced the northern emigrants as "paupers and hirelings," because they wero sent west by the money of a so-

nctv : and so they held county meeting in Missouri, and raised money and sent Missourians to Kansas to niHke Kansas a slave territory I Were these Missourians "hirelings" too ? Aud did these two wrongs make one right ? Atchison and Stringfellow, with their Missouri followers, overwhelmed the settlers in Kansas, brow-beat and bullied them, nnd took tho government from their hands. Missouri votes elected the present body of men, who insult public intelligence and popular rights by styling themselves "the Legislature of Kansas." This body of men are helping themselves to lat speculations by locating "tl e seat of government", and getting town lots for their votes. They are passing laws disfranchising all the citizens of Kansas who do not believe neuro slavery to be a Christian institution and a national blessing. They are proposing to puniah with imprisonment the utterance uf views inconsistant with their own. And they ate trying to perpetuate their preposterous and infernal t)ranny, by appointing for a term of years creatures of their own, as Commissioners in every county, to lay and collect taxes, and see that the laws they nre passing nre faithfully executed. Has this iige anything to compare with these acts in audacity ? The Free State men of Kansas have resolved not to submit to this daring usurpation of a non-resident oligarchy. They have called a convention of the people of Kansas, lo meet in September next, nnd frame a Constitution for their government. This movement will be supported by thousands in Kansas; und 1 1 will rafly and bi ing lo their aid the Northern States that have been for the lime staggered and confused by the untoward events in Kansus. The next Congress will find then this issue before them a Free State Constitution presented by one portion of the people of Kansas, and the proj slavery territorial laws of tho present ! fraudulent Legislature. The House of Representatives of the next Congress will be largely Frccsoil or Anti- ! Nebraska. The pnwlavcry of the ! bogus Legislature will be rejected, and witliuut Congressional sanction they are not valid nnd the contest will then be on accepting the Constitution presented by the F.ee State people. The Free Slate Constitution may pass the House, but not the Senate. Uut the cllect will be 11s disastrous to Missouri and the South. (Kansas will bo left to anarchy. The slavery that is there will lice from it perhaps even the slave property of Western Missouri give way under the panic, and seek safety in the colton fields nnd sugar plantations of Texas. It has been the common opinion I with thoughtless persons and thickheaded bullies of the west, that the 1 northern nnd eastern men will not light, j Never was a greater mistake. The 1 sons of New Kngland and of the Mid- ! die Slates do not like to light. They ; would rather work plough build ;tons, railroads make money, and raiso families, than light. Uut light j they will, if need be. Remember, the ;sons of New Kngland shed tho first blood in the Amerieau Revolution; and j they were thu last to furl their Hags in ! that terrible struggle. Tliey have ; never disgraced their country by cow itrdiee, and they will not. 1 hey are Americans, with spirit, courage, endurance, nnd deep love of liberty, to ; animate them, iho r reo Slate men in Kansas will tight before they will be 1 disfranchi-vd and trampled on. Mark i the word. , Here comes, then, the suicide of Shivery. Tne outrages committed by Atchison and his fellows in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and by ! Stringfellow und his follower in nubijugating Kansas to non-resident rule, j will bring on a collision lirU m Coni gicss and then in Kunsas and who 1 shall tell the end ? i Slavery will never sustain iudf inn iborder Mate by the Bword.

orrtsponoenct. Clifton, Ind, Aug 29, 1855. Ma. Koiroit: Y'011 request to know how tho Temperance Law works with us. The task is a pleasant one, but how to condense it, so as to give the matter ft fair representation, and convey to your readers a just idea of its efliciency in promoting good order, industry and general good feeling; I am confident, is more than I shall be able to do. I am persuaded, were I to occupy a large space in your columns, and select and point out particular sections and cases, compare them as the matter stands now, with what it was before tho Law went into operalion; yet should any of your leaders, who, in by-gone days that were familiar with O'tr condition, for awhile remain Among us now, would bo constrained to say "behold, the half was not told me ! " Why sir, its bencficiul tendencies uro so palpable, that every man must sec it, and is compelled to acknowledge it. In fact the friends of the Law themselves, are surprised, from the fact tf our close proximity to the Ohio State line, in seeing the Law accomplishing every thing that could be desired. In proof of the above, "let facts be submitted to a candid world." When and while the trallic was legalized, the gra.id jury in this county always at its regular sitting, foand truo bills of indictment, for violations of law and order tolerably numerous for our population; the Merage number of 1 a w which I have no means at this mo ment of statin"; precisely, but urn of opinion that they averaged from thirty to two hundred; which have been one of the chief causes of heavy taxation; and now since the 12th ot June, two grand juries. 1 learn have arisen, vithoutfinUipg a tingle UU of indict' nicnt. Temperance men havo for a long time insisted, that a large per cent, of all the crime, violation of law, and litigation ia our Courts, had its source and origin concealed from the public gaze in whisky barrels and decanters; and many of us have gone so far as to say that the proportion was seventylive per cent, and for that, have been denounced ns fanatics; and sir the plain facts in the case as demonstrated in this county irresistably force upon us the conclusion, that such an estimate was too smail. And now sir, in view of all this, and a thousand times more, is it possible than any party, be that party ever so much devoted U rum, will dare in any way or under any pretense whatever, to destroy that Law, and yet survive the just indignation ot an outraged community. We shall see. I am glad that there ia such an energy in "squatter sovereignty It the Law is murdered, as is anticipated, at its next sitting by the Supremo Court, let us demand an extra session of the Legislature, and make anew Law with the objectionable fea ture omitted. If then it conllicts with the constitution, let us go to work, and make the constitution right, for we can not do well without a Prohibitory Law. If the people want it, thev can und will have it. N A VILLUS. Heiimaan Ind, August 27th 1C55. Mn. Kditou: Having a little leisure time I thought I should like to have a little.talk with you, on the -subject of temperance; and if you consider my communication worthy of a place in your paper, though it to your numerous readers. In many parts of the State, I understand the Liquor Law, wcrks admirably well that the liquor shops uro being "dried uj" and their proprietors turning their attention to some honoralle calling and, I thought likely you would like to know how it is in this vicinity. But first of all it will perhaps be necessary to tell you how the cause of temperance stands in thiscommunity; and what the fiiends of fenipcrcnce hero have lo contend wiih. There are in this Township about .,UU voters. One 1'aptist a church of something over 100 members a Methodist church, of perhaps homo 60 members. Now, Mr. Editor, strange as it may seem, the friends of temperance in this vicinity will not number over fif teen or twenty souls ! Yes, out of the above 150 who havo made a Christian profession beforo the world who have put on Christ by llaptism, who r . . I . I I t.:. ... proiess to love viou auu 1113 cause supremely, who pray to God to "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from every evil, and the sins that doth so easily beset us, and from all things that hath the appearance of evil." Out of that number, 1 say, there are about lö who think that there is nt least some appearance of evil in the use and tru llio of intoxicating liquors. While tho residue of thoso wlu profess to bo tho followers of thu meek and lowly Jesus, say that the Liquor Law now in force in this state, Is the most abominable law, that is in forced over any people. It deprives them of their liberties ! They say it is no longer a freu country but a land of bondage, fvome of tho old veterans of tho cross, who have stood its "land marks" in tho church for many years, whose heads are whitened over with the frost, of many winters, who uro tottering near tho brink of eternity, who staminas it were, with one foot on the land, and the other in tho grave, could not unite in celebrating the last anniversary of tho American Independence, because, their liberties were taken from them, they were in a land of bondage. Oil I what a sad picture and hov 1inientablo the case, when ihoso wiio havo long stood its sentinels in the church of Christ, want the libeity, if not of getting drunk themselves of seeing their fellow creature! debasd beneath the swine, and wallowing in the gutter. O I what a glorious privilege; nnd whut a spectacle for the eyes of the professed followers

of Christ, to dwell upon. You will naturally inquire, what is the cause of so much opposition to the temperance cause in Adams Township, lit ply co, and I thought of giving you the cause, when I commenced, but fearing my communication would be to long, 1 have concluded to stop for the present, nnd continue the subject another time, if you see fit to give it a placo in the columns of your paper. A.

cftltct rSliscritanit. "Husband". Tea." We-ll. 1 never! Mrs. Morris; why. how poor the tea has got all at oucel Why, sure enough, it is as bad as 'husband's ton,' now." This speech wai made by a blunt, rough, rosyfaced matron, who was presiding ut her tea-table, aud entertaining a friend who wa, a gentle, loving, and loveable young woman, that had not long worn a gold circlet, and been called "Mrs. Morris." "Thank you, Mrs. Chubb; my tea is very good; and they s.iy strong ten is not good for the nerves. "Uut continued Mrs. Morris, "what can be the meaning of husband's tea?" I have often heard the expression, and wondered what it could mean; do tell me.' Why. as to the saying," replied Mrs. Chubb, 'lam eure 1 don't know how it came among us; but I reckon that some wife, who liked her own dear self better than anybody else, used to drink all the strong tea, and leave water in the teapot for her good man." "Dear me, Mrs Chubbs, do you think there ever cuuhl bo a wife so unkind? Why, when my George is later than usual, if I pour out ono cup for myself, I add half water, fearing it would not be good enough for hiai. Why, to bo suie, I think every wife would give the best of everything lo her husband." "O, dear! Mrs. Morris! excuse my laughing; but, bless you, when you have been called Mrs. Morris twenty years, you will perhaps think dillerently. Why, 1 know a wifo who ha downrrirht -rood tea Ion'' before her husband comes home; und I have seen him, with my own eyes, eating cold potatoes und salt, poor soul! afterward and between you and me and lhe post, 1 have calledjiitn in just as Chubb has been at his supper, as an excuse to give thepjor mm u bit. This is a -.inter work-a-day world of ours, Mrs. Morris; there is a deal of selfishness in it, though some people do cry up human beings as naturally good kind of half-way angels; but i havo never seen the good, perfect souls yet, when their is ik religion in them lo teach thena what goodness itself was when it lived over among the Jews; and 1 guess we ure, mosl of us, a little matter slow to learn of him! "Well, I should expect that every kind, loving wifo would do all in her power to make her husband comfortable, and give him the best tea instead the wi.rst." "Y'es, yes, you ure right, too, depend upon it, Mrs. Morris. Go on acting thus, and keep a happy, loving home for your husband, and he will, the more likely keep a good roof over your head, and not go from homo to lind kindness and comfort. I always say, as tho husbands earn the? money, they ought to bu well attended to. I brjan i.o with my Jack Chubb; and 1 mean to continue the tfne as long asI walk along life by his side." Strange Activity of an Insane Woman. There is a woman in Whitney, who lor the past ten years has been insane. Iiis not fully known what the cause was that led to this very peculiar state of her mind. About eighteen years ago she lost her husband, but since that time she has perlormed the duties of her household with as much care us is common cooks, washes and does all the household work without nssistarco or guidance, lull unlike most women she spends no Useless time, in-doora engaged on the nicer kinds of h'ce-vvork, or ev en at the toilet. Sho has a work to d-. and all her energies nre given to it. As soon as the dishes are washed andfurniture set in ordei.she lights her pipe and starts for the field. About six rods from her house 'are two small hills, which she is at work in leveling. They are about twelve feet high, and on the the top contain nearly a quarter of an acre. During tho past ten years all her leisure moments have been thus occupied. Karly in the morning, with her hoo and crowbar, which are the only tools she uses she starts for these hill-tops, aud there works till night. She carries tho small stones lo the foot of the hill, lolls tho large ones, und hoes the dirt down. In this way she has lowered ono hill more than six feet, and the other four add a half. The work she has performed is said to be more than any on man in this town could have done in tho same time and with the same tools. The stones alone she has carried lo the foot of the hill, would now require the labor of fivo men and four oxen two months to remove. Notwithstanding this immense and continuous labor, sho enjoys at this time the very best of healih. When in the house about her wotk, she is perfectly rational, never destroys any thing, and is guilty of no cunning tricks, such as crazy p.-uplo generally are. She uses her son's vveioJ to beat up large rocks which she cannot icmovu without breaking, then pours water upon them, shelling them inlosm.ill pieces to enable her to carry them inlo the valley. lUmyor Mc.

The Kansas Legislature and the

President. It must bo remembered, that the Kansas Legislature petitioned to the President, to remove Gov. Heeder, on the ground, that ho was ?ngaged in land speculations, and that such speculations were inconsistent with the dignity and position of a man, who filled tho first ollica of the Territory. The President, however, had the start of the very humblu petitioners from 0Vt.r the border, Heeder having been already decapitated, politically, before that document reached its destination. But the Legislature forgot, that th rule applied in ono case, would be equally applicable in another, where its operation would not be quite so agreeable. Judge Klmoro was equally interested with Gov. Reeder in the land speculations; and if we are not mistaken, these two gentlemen were partners. In common decency, the Judge could not be allowed to remain, if the Governor was removed; and the intelligence that the Government would dispense with the services of the Judge, reached the new Territory soon after the telegraph had announced, that a new executive had been appointed, to attempt to rule over the very unrulable destinies of the Kansas Missourians. What was sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander. Uut the Kan als Legislators have made up their minds, that Judge E'morc shall not exchange his judicial title for that, of plain Mister. He is a good fellow and a great favorite, and what u more and better, ho is a first-rate pro-slavery man, and will on occasion bu a firstrale pro-sir very Judge. Therefore, to remove him would be unconstitutional very, and they, the Kansas Legisislature, havo too much regard for these abstract and organic principles of justice and cquaiity, which are supposed to be especially embodied in constitutions, to submit to the outrage of aay tuoh instrument. It was quite co.islitutioi.il for the President to removu a Governor of his own nppointmeut; but to remove a Judge who derived his place from the same source was qvite out of the question! CoCost of War. The xpenso of the Kastern War begins to command attention in Kngland. It is, indeed, beginning to grow alarming: and the speech of Karl tlrey, in the House of Lords, which will bo found in another column, expresses apprehensions which Cannot fail ere long to become gereral throughout Kngland. The cos, of the war this year, in the three departments of the army, navy nnd ordinance, exceeds S23J.ÜÜO.ÜUO, and this is to be still further and very largely increased by votes of credit, guarantee of the Turkish loan and other expedients. All this involves a corresponding increase of taxation, not for a year cr two, but permanently, as these expenses go to swell the enormous aggregate of the National deot, the annual interest of which is becoming a most oppressive burden on the induitry of the British peoplo. Karl (Jrey foresees the embarrassments and evils to which this state of things must in time giv e rise. lie declares-, with a frank boldness not often witnessed, that no man in his senses believes that the Turkish Empire, for the integrity of which this war is waged, can list for years: predicts that England will bo compelled to pay the interest on the loan which she guarantees, and that changes may occur which will release Frauen from nil obligation to pay her share; and that the whole burden of this extravagant and ill-judged expenditure will liius fall upon the English people. Tho inevitable resu'.t, in his opinion, will be such an increase of taxation as( will prove exceedingly oppressive to the English peoplo, and increase the lid of emigration which is already bear ing so many thousands of them, with largo aggregates of wealth, across the Atlantic to the United States. The Kail's words of warning com manded little attention in the llotue of Lordls, but the day will come when they will bo remembered and heeded. A. J. ltmcs.
