thing good-rmtureJly. Ther is no nie in getting mad; it makes one feel bad, hence we quit it long ago. We prefer to laugh at the frail t ice and eren the meannet! of others. We fed better over it, and then they can not complain. Potting our books, a fuw weoka ago, we discovered that about $ 1,700 were owing to as on nowaraper accounts, some in Tex as, serao in Oregon, tome California and lota in Iowa and olaowhere. Not knowing Jutt how much euch accounts wore worth, wo determined to tee, by an effort to settle all out-standing accounts by note or cash, hence we tent out a polite dun to all who aro behind on our book. Thit hat given us abundant opportunity to be

Prom Um Indiana Journal. The) NW Aspsniouuifui Bill The following is an abstract of tha law

apportioning the state for Senatorial and

Representative purposes which pasted the Legislature at the late session. According to the result of the vote last fall for Governor the new law gives 37 Bonators to the Democrats and 93 to the Republicans, and 68 Representatives to the Democrats, and 42 to the Republicans. The Republicans having a majority of Senators holding over will havs control of the Renate at tha next lettion. The new law is fairer for the Republicans in the Representative districts than ths old law wat, but is unfair and unjust to the Republican party in ths manner in which the Senatorial district, aro arranged. As no political prophet can predict, in this age of political uphoavings, the result of an election in any district, tho new scheme, two years from now, may give the Republicans overwhelming majorities in both branches of our Legislature. The decision in the Dred Scott case, and ths policy foreshowed by Bnchanan, will add

strength to the Republican party throughout tho Union :

First came a great many and paid up chcorfully, apologising for letting their accounts run so long they bad forgotten it, and thanked us for kindly calling their attention to it. Thit of course wo received good-naturedly. They ars men of sense, and kuow that s paper can not be iupporto'1 without money, and that ths only way an editor can duu his subscribers is by tending the bill in tho paper, as he can not call upon every one in person, and make a polite bow, and say "please air" and ask forty p.- Ion for his impertinonce. Such men will always be reepectsd. Others came, in a pet, "stop my spr I won't take a paper if I have to be dunned for the pay how much do I owe up t NOW?" Well we received them goodnaturedly. Thoy ars on tho whole goodnatured men and generally vary clever, but their dignity it very much in thsir way. Of course we squared accounts, and told them, whomever they want the paper, to tend for it. We aro sorry they got mad. It made them foel very mean, whilo the." were at it, and never hurt any body sits. That is ths way with ro.ul fo ks, always. They get the wont of the bargain. One rich farmer, Samnel Goudic, living near Whitcorab, not only wanted to stop his paper, but faced on a part of hit account. Learning last summer that wo bad offered to take a dob in

Union couutr for about a!x months for 50

cents, ho went np there and subscribed, but ordered his paper sent to Whitcomb.

Of course we credited him for only three months, rot intending to let him have the paper for less than his poorer neigbort

were paying. But, in our absence, settling with one of tho boys in the office, be managed to save his half dollar. May it do him much good '. Our duns have brought us many letters. Some say 'Please lind, enclosed dollars, tend on your paper." Others, who aro huffy, soy : "Enclosed is which will pay up to NOW. Stop my pper" Here is a specimen of some others: Orconsburü Ind March 20th 1857 Mr T.

We have been there every few months and always enquired if the papors to that office were all taken out, and were answered in tho affirmative till two weeks ago when wo tent tho bill to Mr. James. If ho were worth the money we could make it off him, but at it Is, ws iupioted tho case is doubtful.

Ho had mado arrangements to stop at Springfield, III., for a titter, who resides there; and Intimatod that he would probably remain in Spring, field during the winter. Hit sister, who

had boon appritod of tho removal of her brother, was anticipating his arrival. Hearing nothing from him tor some time, the wrote to her parents In reference', to the delay. Nothing definite has boon heard of the family tince they left Mr.rshal, 111., where they told a town lot, and had tome two thousand dollars in money. A family is said to have been murdered between ths latter place and Springfield, which exactly corresponds to that of Mr. Elwoll; and other daring robberies and cold blooded murders havo boon committed in the neighborhood it is almost certain that tho whole family have been cut off, and no one left to tell the sad tale !

her moorings, and datdi her to pu n where the turf surges high, from the confluent waters at Mason nnd Dixon's line It is a waste of words to talk about it, and it would be a waste of time t attempt it. Subsequent to tho election of Mr. Rurhsnau, and previous to tho recent decision of the Supremo Court, there soomod tobe something like a bow of promise in the political sky. Tho angry waters raved lots loudly, the clouds looked lighter, and sunshine soomod to bo smiling the shadows away. Abolitionism had been baffled and beaten in a desporato assault upon tho citadel defending tho Constitution and tho Union, tho sovereignty of the

status and tho rights of the south; and thero was high hopo that its most furious onset might bo its last, except in fooble bands, the scattered remnant of a routed host.

But, since then, thore is every evidence of an organiration contemplated, and it may be begun, upon a broader basin than over, for the purpose of placing thn eeptre in the hands of the enemies of tluvery in 1860. The election of tho Judges of tho Su-

premc Court by the people, is henceforth I to be one of the aims of the Abolitionists I for acquiring the means of having tho j Constitution construed according to their i own fanatical ideas of law. If thev nci complish that end, the strongest bulwark i of tho South will havo beon swept away, i the last bond of union will have boon . broken. Rut, before they can achieve

Ue v. Geary's Itrsignmtlou. In reference to the rumored resignation of Gov. Geary, tho N. Y. Sun says :

"We trust that the resignation will not

ho accepted, if Gov. Geary can be indn

ccd to reconsider his resolution, and re

main in the Governorship. It would be nn encouragement to the disturbers of the peaco of Kansas, should the recent trouble

be followed by the Governor's surrvnder of his difficult position, and President

Htichnnnn might not bo able to fill the of

fice with one possessing equsl qualifica

tions with Gov. Geary.

Indeed, wo regard it as of tho greatest

importance to Kansas, and of great impor

tnnco to tho whole country, that a change in the Governorship of the Territory do not occur at the present time, but that, on

the oontrary, Gov. Geary be induced to

remain, and that the General Government

sustain him in on impartial and energetic

administration of executive duties."

The hope expressed by the Snn is such as is cherished by every calm thinking, dispassionate Northern man, without die linction of party. In the trouble which

he has had to encounter, and after all the information which has been given to the

public respecting them, there csn be but

one opinion in reference to the general course of Gov. Geary. Tho wonder is, that, under tho circumstances by which

he has been surrounded, he has occom

plished so much and committed so few errors. Not one man in a thousand could

fill the place of Gov. Geary. Sentinel

The Kansas War Again. Ths Missouri Democrat of Wednesday has an article on tbe Kansas question,

which concludes with ths following energetic paragraph: It is useless to deny it; the Kansas question is yet to be settled. Tho task devolves upon the new administration. Ths lull that followed the general elec

tion has passed away, and we all perceive I & at the strife has deepened. The entire

ö Ionization of ths Territory of Kansas

n..i.t be remodeled, if peace is to here-

tr red, or if popular sovereignty is to pre-

wail. The fabric built by tho fslon Legislature must be rased to the ground, and ths wholo legislative and judicial institu

tions reconstructed. Especially must the Furvsyor-Osnsral, and ths nest of vipers in bit office, be squelched In our humbio judgement, the Kansas question has

never worn the ominous aspect and the

colossal proportions which it is now begin

ning to Assume. It is impossible to conceive that the peoplo of the North will

acquiesce in the Anal triumph of a syttom of fraud, violsncs and ruthless tyrranny equally impossible to conceive that the slavery sxtsnsionists will forego their pur

poses; and therefore the prompt and vigorous intervention of the President is ie mandsd by the most serious considsrations. If ths non-intervention policy is followed, thon the people of the United States will review ths derision of ths Kansas constitutional convention, and the late decision of ths Supreme Court at ths same time, with what inoidental agitations and possible collissions, may bo easily surmised. But while freedom of action, of speech, and of election is being strangled in Kan

sas, 1st us take hssd that St. Louis is not trnntformod iulo a black-hole of Calcutta by the Niggeritss. Let us resolve to havs ons brsalhlug spot this slds of Misslppi.

tbe following is a fair sample:

"It will be recollected that the Lite Republican House of Representative, whose timo expired on the 4th inst., passed a . act at their first session to increase their pay from &8 per day to $3.000 per session." Now the bill thus characterised originated, not in the House at all, where the Republicans had a plurality only, but in the Senate, where tho Republicans were not a fourth of the members. Its author was Judge Butler, of South Carolina, one of tbe most bitter "democratic' opponents of tho Republicans the unole in whose behalf Preston S. Brooks so brutaily attacked Senator

Sumner nnd passed that body by Undecisive vote of 36 to 13.

Mr. Butler's bill only gave the mem-

bera 82,600 a year; but, on its reaching the House. Colonel Orr, of S. 0. a leading pro-slavery Democrat, who

repeatedly received the full vo'.u of his party for Speaker of the last House,

and who will pretty surely be hn candidate for speaker next Dts mber moved to raise the salary to 83,000 a year, called the previous question, carried the amendment, and put the bill through by the clone vote of 100 Yeas to 08 or 99 Nays. Jt-Of these voters for the bill, a deoided majority were opposed to the Republicans and voted with Orr against Fremont last fall. The Republicans oast 46 for the bill and 62 against it; so that, if other parties had opposed it us strongly as they did, it must have been defeated. Wo do not propose to follow these scavengers further. Their assertion that the three Members of Congress impeached by the Investigating Com

mutet were all Hepublinans is grossly

untrue, and we presume willfully so. Mr. Kdwarda onoof those members, wat elected in opposition to the Republicans, was run out by them last fall, himself canvassing and voting for Fremont. But it were idle to track this magnanimous State Convention through ll labrynth of deception. What must bo the character of a party who relies for success, nut on com mending its own principles, hut on blackening the pi rsonnl character of individual opponents.

We fear a Slave law Constitution will be formed in Kantat under tbe authority of the bogut Legislature; but tho emegration now pouring in will ultimately make her u Free State. .V. Y. Tribunt,

Prom the Kkhmonri Knqulrer. Agitation of itas Nlsvvery Qsisstlon. Every con-ervative lover of law and order, every supporter of the Constitution und advocate of the Union, every Ameiican mind and heart not lake to the faith of the founders of freedom, lost to all reverence for justice and truth, or oallous to the cause of civil and religious liberty throughout Christendom, must havo long ago beuome surfeited with the inoessant agitation uf tho slavery question. For moro than fifty vears the ques

tion of slavery has been moro or less a subject of dicord and contention; and, more recently, in some shape or other, it has been continually coming up in the councils of the nation, in tho Statu Legislatures of tho uon-

slavehulding Stales, before the peoplu of the North, as an issue in the elections, local and federal, nnd before tho people of the South as an offset to its agitation at the North, to be considered with reference to its vindication ns one of tho essential elements of our society, its maintenance as tin institution for the public good, and the protection of our rights, originating in it and under it. ns tha great (Jod given gunriury of the- freedom ot the white man through the thralldoin jf the black tho accomplishment of (he dtttiny of the African and Anglo Saxon races by an observance and enforcement of the relations between them designed and decreed by divinity. From ffsi to last, from the ordinance of 1787 to the aduptiun of the Missouri Compromise, from lötO to )867, tha agitation of this

will bo fear and doubt an agitation in

promise ' tho mind, arising from tho conflict of cd-

ucaiton with instinct. And so with tho slavery question; as long at abolitionism is extant, as long as the laws of tho land are opposed, and impeded by disloyalty and treason, as long as the rights of tho South are donied and resisted by tho North so long must there he agitation, incessant' increased nnd increasing agitation on tho tlavory qiiottion. Every patriot iu the nation mutt deploro it deeply; but wo should deprecato the cause rather than the effect abolitionism rather than a result of resistance if wo would oxpross our real rcgrot at tho disease, rather than an effect of the romedy. If tho peoplo of tho North would coaso to hurl thunderbolts at us from their pulpits, to fulminato firebrands into our society through thoir press, to attempt to intercept ut in every territory, to dofraud and to force ut out of our rights; if, in

other words, they would "rondor unto

Caesar the things that are Cesar's," con

codo to us equality in tho Union, offer no

Illegal nnd unjust obstructions to the extension of our institutions; if they would

lot us alono and leave tlavory to the

States, and to the tame protection and privileges onjoyed by all other property

under the Constitution, the agitation of the

question would come to an end on the

inttant The trouble would coaso timul tanoously with ths cause that produced it

But as long as they empty thoir vials of

wrath upon onr hoods, ours mint boompti-

od on theirs. If thev nropairato calum

nies, wo mint refuto thorn. If they incite their poople to hato and assault the South, wo must incite our people to reciprocate tho hatred, and repel tho attacks. If they smite us on one check, wo cannot and will not turn to thorn too. If there is danger in agitation, there it ttill moro danger in stipinoness and submission. The South has never assumed an attitude of hostility to the North. Our DOeMoa hat always boon and ie ttill that of right and honor and virtue, acting on tho defensive against injustice, immorality and wronu. It it true wo hurl back the anath

emas of tho North, resist their taunts and jeers with fourfold force snd truth, and oxKe to tho public gsso the venality and cankerous corruption of their freu SS ciety. Hut ws nover propose to amend their morals, to ameliorate tho intolerable ills of their body politic, to interfere in any way with thsir institutions through tho instrumentality of the fedoral government. Wo never send emissaries among them to Incite socialism incendiaries; to inttigato rebellion of labor against capital ,to pei-auadtt the starving fugitive ilavo nnd their tor of thousands of desperate paupers to rite in revolt against their philanthropic millionairs. We nover protest against tho protection of their property by the Conttitutloii. Wo leave their domestic matters to themstives; and all we ask is an observance, uti their part, of the same policy towards us. As long nttheir sword is unsheathed, ouis will be also. Ws mako no war upon them; but as long as our right io donied, tho temple of J anus cau g vor be closed.

However, we need not, tell you thi, ns you are one of them, und know how clever they nil

ernor sustains throughout, and which ths Democratic papers pronounced "Kansas lies." The Sentinel thinks that Geary deserves tho good opinion of all parties for his judicious management of the complex and cancerous Kansas troubles, and pronounces him "one in a thouaend." We can't pass quite so unqalified an eulogy on his administration, or character. There havo been several unjust acts perpetrated by him, which could have been as easily and events have proved mors safely for himself dono otherwise. But still we believe ho has done better than any Democrat could have been expected to

inti I do, and better than we anticipated he

would do. And tbe bitter malignity of the Democratic Missonrians, which he has earned, is a proof of no little wise and fair conduct on his part Now thit judicious officer, who hat deserved so well of the country, resigns hit office and comes back to the States, be

cause, as bo tayt, tho Domocratic Administration lied to him, promised him tupport which was refuted, and compelled him to pay eleven thousand dollars out of his own pocket to bring about that quiet state of affairs for which tbe Sentinel so praises him. And ho says further, that every story of tho wrongs committed by tho Missourisns, which circulated through tho country last fall, it true, and that half

i has not been told. This model Governor,

whom the Democratic papers so praise, tollt thorn that they willfully slandered good mon, and excused notorious villains, when thoy pronounced the accounts of Kansas wrongs "Kantat lies." We should like to tco the Sontincl and other Democratic papers quote tho above extract side by aido with Geary's statement to tho Missouri Democrat.
