EIVATOl DOTJOLAI BXP TJWATII QUATTO SOTEXTOaTTY AJTD ADVOCATES XÄOW IOTHIIOIMIEvery aenaible man knew from the first that the plea of Squatter Sovereignty waa an arrant humbug, fabricated to secure Kanaaa to slavery by granting unuaal powers to the frit Legialaturc that abould be elected under the act, and providing that Miatuuriane might elect that Legislature, by act requiring a residence of an hour in the territory prior to voting. It never waa intended that the principle harped upon should became general. It was intended to apply only to Kanena, and such other territories aa might need it to give the clave power predominance. Poligamy is as much a domestic institution aa slavery, and is aa mach recognised ia the Constitution. But pol yam y doec not vote, slavery doe, hence even Douglas, the repoted fkther of fhie humbug, denounces it In a late speech in Springfield Illinois he thus alludes to it, and to Mormoniem generally. He said concerning Mormon iam, that the newe from Utah would eeem to jus tify the belief that the following facte are eptible of proof 1st That nine tenths of the inhabitants i aliens by birth, who have refused to oecome naturalised, or to take tue oaui 01 allegiance, or to do any other act recognising the Government of the United States as the paramount authority In that Territory. Suppose they are foreigners and aliens, what of that? In Indiana aliens are eligible to nearly every office la the gift of the people. They may be Judges, from Supreme Judge down to Justice of the Peace, Clerks, Sheriffs, Auditors and all that Here such men both vote and hold office, though they "refbee to become naturalised, or to take the oath of allegiance, or do any other act recognizing the Government of the United States a paramount authority," and it will not do for the Senator to say aught against them, for tha alien vote of Indiana is all that gives this state to hie party But for this rota, hit party would hava been defeated last year by 20,000. But he ie equally denunciatory of their religious teste. He say a 2d. That all the inhabitants, whether native or alien born, known as Mormons (and they constitute the whole people of the Territory) are bound by honied oaths and terrible penalties to recognise and maintain the authority of Brigham Young, and the Government to which he is the head, as paramount to that of the United States, in eivil as well as in religious affairs; and that they will, in due time, and under the direction ot their leaders, use all means in their power to subvert the Government ot the United States, and retist its authority. What is said here of Mormons, every man knows is true of Roman Catholic. Among the nom inal adherents to that church there are many who would renounee their allegi ance to their ehurch, before they would to their country, but every prieat and Bishop, (most of whom are aliens) owes supreme allegience to the Pope of Rome, and every One of them who votes, vote for the Douglas party. The oaths, binding the priest hood to maintain the authority of the Pope above all prinoee, potentates and rulers, eccles iasSloal or civil, are indeed horrible, yet becauM these vote with Douglas, euch American ml as wish to guard against the which threaten to subd ue the Gov it of the United States, through them are denominated "assassins," ucut-throats, Ac, The Mormone have the same right to civil and reKgioue privileges in that territory that any oehta-bound aliens have any where in tha State, and they ihouid havt. Now what remedy does he propose for this state of affairs; hear him: Under this view of the subject, I think it is the duty of the President s I havs no doubt it is his fixed purpose to remove Brig ham Young and all his followers fmni office, and to fill their places with bold able and true men, and to causa a thorough and searching investigation into all the crimes aad enormities which are alleged to be perpetrated daily in that Territory , under the direction of Brigham Yound and his confed ereters; and to use all the military force necessary to protect the officers in discharge of thair duties, and to enforce tha lawi of the land. Applaus. When the authentic evidence shall arrive, if it shall establish tha facts which are believed to exist, it will become the duty of Ooagrea to apply the knife and cut out this loathsome disgusting ulcer. Applause. No temporising policy so half-way mens ores will then answer It has been suppo a I by those who have not thought seriously upon the subject, that an act of Congress prohibiting murder, robery, polygamy and other erimas, with appropriate penalttis for thoae offences, would afford adequate rsme dies for all the enormities complained of Suppose such a law to be on the statute book, and I believe they have a erimnal code, providing the usual punishment for the entire catalogue of Crimea, according to the usages of all civilized and christian counties, with the exeption of polygamy, which is practiced under the sanction of the Mormon Church, but is neither prohibited nor authorised by the laws of the Territoey. That it pretty plain talk But is not thit a renunciation of Squatter Sovereignty? Every argument in favor of Slavery may be given ia favor of polygamy and ite horrors It is said against Havery that persons who do not believe in it are unsafe among it The answer is, "Stay away then, and it will not hart you." So it may be said of Mor monism. It seeks only to appropriate certain rich territory to ite exclusive use Those who do not go there will not be an noyed by it Can it be that a man's having in rs tl an one wife will justify "all the military force necessary to protect the officers" who go there to meddle' with the domestic relatione of men? What if women are suf wrers? It may almost be said of them, ss Judge Taney said of negroes: "Tbsy have no rights whieh white man are bound to raapaet" They eannot vote.and under soma circumsitnoae oan not sue, or own property in their own name. Suppose, I repeat, that Congress should pass a law prescribing I criminal code, end punishing polygamy among other ofticcts. what effect would it have? whatgood would it do? Would you call on tnty-three erand Jurymen, with twenty-mree wit p. irr k inHndahill of indictment ftk'ninst 17 Mtaeeehle wretsli for having two rast Casars snd laughter Would

you can never reiy upon im local tTinunais and justice to punish crimes commited by Mormons in that territory. Some other and more effectuel remedy must be devised and applied. In my opinion the first step should be the absolute and unconditional repeal of the organic act btottir.g the territorial government oat of existence lipon the ground that they are alien eaemiee and outlaws; denying their allegiance and defying the authorities of the United States. (Immence applause. J The similarity between this supposed case and the actual case of mock trial for murder in Kansas, to which we allude elsewhere, is so striking that but for tha fact that the speech waa delivered before the trial we might suppose he wa indebted to the trial for hi picture of the disregard of law.

But many a man can be induced to buy n lottery ticket who would scorn to gamble with cards or otherwise It is a ahaoce, he thinks, to make a fortune suddenly, and it is not much of a risk. Does he not know, in th firat place, that the men he deala with aro gambler, and enter upon thia "Enter prise" to make money without labor, and at the expense of the grks onee who can be caught by a 'scheme " offering a $15,000 farm, a $ 10,000 briok house, a $ 5,000 town lot a $1,000 horse, a $500, boggy and such like? These gambler put out their bills, knowing the fools are not all dead, and that a fool ana hie money are aeon parted. Of course they keep enough to pay themselves well, and then "distribute" what i left, if any. Occaalonaly some one proves "lueky" better say unlucky, for it proves a cures in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. The unfortunate possessor of the big farm, or fine house, or nioe horse, knows that he hss an article that he hss never paid for, and which in reality belong to another, or to oilier. Such possessions aro unmitigated curses. Hut the meanness of ths system of gambling is ite lying to begin with. It is called Ja '-Girr enterprise " That is a lie at once.

The notoriou Judge Lecompto, was, of course, th Judge to preside over such a court Though wa uniformly refrain from publishing the details of murder, we give place to the testimony in thia ease, aa taken before the court which acquitted him. How assure life muat be, in the hand of such a party as that which upholds ths tyranny of Kansas, let our readers judge. Let it be remembered that under the provisions of the famous squatter sovereignty law, the people of Kansas havs no right to elect judgos, sheriffs, constables, justices of the peace, nor any other officers; these ars all ths creatures of the IsgUlnturs elected according to that law, by Missouriana, sxcspt the Judge who is the ereature of the President for whom they eannet vote Beautiful eorereignty!

Ramsey has at his furniture shop, on Illinois street, a few doors south of the Palmer House, is enough to astonish any native. In addition to bed steads and matrasses of various styles, and at prices to suit any reasonable man, there is first a new fashioned spring bottom bed. It ia none of your spiral springs, gouging you in spots, it is just go and see it and you will be sure to buy it if you want to sleep on springs Then there is a lounge such a lounge t Why, you can adjust it so ae to make the head h igest or the feet highest or both, or neither. For sick persons it must be of immense value. But the lazy chair that may not be its name but call it what you please, that chair in which you lit upright, or loaning back, caue it to spread out into a bed that is the institution. We think Brother McMullen should get one for that sleeping brcthor whoso head is so troublesome when he nods in church.

delegates twe members ef Congress an Old Liner from Indiana, and an American from one of the most populous and renown ed districts of Kentucky. The Hooeier M.

The Republicans admitted his charge and that they were of the number. At this juncture, I was appealed to by both parties, to know what 1 would do in such s esse. I replied that "no rttrard would tempi me, to arrest a runaway Slave, and that no officer or force could compel me to assist in any auch disgraueful undertaking.' Neither party expressed any surprise at this anewr, and the Indiana M. C. looked as if he had made out a moat aerioua ease of Treaion" against the Black Rspublicana At this time the Kentucky M.

THE at AEEUOB RELATION The great secret is to learn to boar with each othor's failings, not to be blind to them that is either an impossibility or a folly; we must seo and feel them; if we do noither, they are not evils to us, and there ia obviously no nood of forbearance; but to throw the mantle of affection round them, concealing them from each other's eves; to determine not to let thorn chill the affections; to resolve to oulti vale good-tempered forbearanoe, because it is the only way of mitigating the proaent evil, always with a view to ultimate amendment. Sorely it is not the perfection but the imperfection of human charuoter that makes the strongest claim in love. All the world must approve, even enemies must admiro, the good and the estimable in human nature. If husband and wife estimate oaly that in each which all roust be constrained to val ue, what do thoy more than others? It is infirmities of our characters, imperfections of nature, that call for ths pitying sympathy, the tendor compassion that makos each the comforter the monitor of the other. Forbearance helps each to attain com mand over tnomselves. Few are the creatures so utterly ovil as to abuse n geiieroua confidence, a ealm forbear tno. Marriod persona should be preeminently friends, and fidelity is the groat privilege of friendship. The forbearance hero contended for is not a weak and wicked indulgence of each other's faults, but such a calm, tender observance of them as oeuludos all harshness and anger, and takes the best and gentlest methods of affection. Whisper to a Bride. WOELaJI. As the dove will clap its wings to its side and cover and conceal the arrow that is proving on its vitals, so it ia the naturo of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wounded affection. With her tho desire of the hoart has failed. Tho great charm of existence is at an end. She noglects all the cheerful exercises that gladden the spirits, quicken the pulse, and send the tide of life in hoalthful currents through tho veins. Uer rost is broken, the sweet refreshment of sloep poisoned by melancholy dreams, "dry sorrows drink her blood," until hor feeble framo shrinks under thc last oxternal asoailant. Look for her nftera little while, and you find friend shin weeping over hor untimely grave, and wondering that one who but lately glowed with all the radiance of health and beauty should now bo bro't down to "darkness and the worm." You will be told of some wintry chill, some slight indisposition, that laid her low; but no ono knows tho mental malady that previously supped her strength, and Bande her so easy a prey to tho apoiler.

What is needed to elevate ths soul

ia, not tbatm man should know all that haa i been thought and written In regard to the spiritual nature, not that a man ! ihouid become an Encyclopedia, but .V .1 1 J i I Ii J! I that the irreat ideas in which sll dia coveries terminate, whioh sum up all sciences which tha philosopher extracts from infinite details, may be comprehended and felt. It is not the quantity, but the quality of knowledge, which determines tha mind's dignity. A man of immense information may through the i want of large comprehensive ideas, be far inferior in intellecc to a laborer, who I with little knoledge has vet seised on r . l i . . i . I greet truths. For example, 1 do not expect the laborer to study theology in th ancient languages, in the writing of the Fathers, in the history of sects; nor is this needful. All theology, scattered aa it ia through countless volumes, s, is summed up in the idea of God; and let this idea shins bright snd clsar in the laborer's soul, and he haa the essence of theological libraries, and a far higher light than has visited thousands of renowned divines. A great mind is formed by a few great ideas, not by au inSnity of loose details. I have known very learned men who seemed to ms very poor in intellect, because they hsdno grand thoughts. What avails it that a man bse studied evereo minutely the histories of Greece and Home, if the great ideas of freedom, and beauty, and valor, and spiritual energy, have net been kindled by those records into living fires in his soul? The illumination of an age does not consist in the amount of ite knowledg but in thebrosd and noble principals of which thst knowledge is the foundation snd inspircr: the truth is that the most laborious and riucceesfol student is confined in his researches to a very few of God's works; but this limited knowledge of things may still suggest universal laws, broad principles, grand ideas, and these elevate the mind. There are certain thoughts principles, ideas, which by their nature role over sll knowledge, whieh are intrinsically glourious, quickening, allcomprehending, rternal! Dr. Channing. SIIOI EIST 101 THI LABORER The following impressive paanngo is from Mr. Mears' late work on the Bible and tho Workshop And what, after a life) of toil, oan be more soothing to tho overtasked working man than the hopo he is permitted jo indulge of rest and refreshment in heaven? The prospect of that ropoae, under the smile of a reconciled God, like a river of pesvoe eternally flowing through his soul, may bo cherished by the Christian working man. Doubtless tho suceosaful artisan, whose abilitios and diligence the world has acknowledged; who has risen to comprehend the highest bearings of his cratt; accomplished something material for his advancement; and who, not being compelled to extract from it, day by day, ajmeager subsistence, is thoroby enabled to cherish some enthusiasm in it: ho doubtless may prefer to contemplate heaven as a rutlur vaster thoater, whore, under the leadings of more spiritual motives and plsnB, he may with still grouter zeal pursue the earthly calling. Hut the jaded working-man, whose hopes of advancement have been disappointed, and whose pursuits, despite the leavening influence of piety, will become a drudgery, finds in the image of heaven, as a place of eternal rest, the source of his deepest consolation. There the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.' 'There the prisoners rost togother; thoy hear not the voice of the oppressor ; and tho servant is free from his master.'

We held he ia as mush aeitiseu as any man in the body l .f I t. - &. . . , m . pontic; ana nas ooen so treated trom the foundation of ths government vTe hall not discuss the question of citizenship in itself, but show what utter confusion of idea exist on the subject. There is so political or social question upon which no little is positively defiaed. Two facte will be sufficient to illustrate this. In Benton's ' Debates" it will be oen that at a very early period ft on 0,1000 got completely st ses on this very subject. A Mr. Smiiw presented his credential as a member from Sooth Carolina. His right to a seat was challenged, on tha ground thst he was not a oitiaee. We think the defect alleged wa abase es at the adoption of the Constitution. He wa born in this country, snd bad performed service in the revolution A debate arose, in whieh Mr. Madison took part, and it ia obvious, from the debate that net a single member had a clear ideo of what eonatitutes citiaenship. The earns confusion has prevailed ever sinee. It arises from oon found in suf frage, f reedom, birth, and other incidents which may enter into citizenship, with citiaenship itself. The fact is citiseaship does not depend on any of these. 1. Cttisenship does not depend on suffrage. A man may be an old eitisen, born and brooghupin the eontry, and yet from variona oauaes. notentiteled to vote. Again an alien cannot become a citiaen till he ta naturalist d. By that set he becomes both a veter and a cititen. In hi case they are identicsl. 2. Freedom does not necessarily make a citiaen; for a foreigner in this country may be free, and a part ef the people, but net hsving completed his naturalisation, he ie still an alien. 3. Birth does not make a cititen. The children of an American merchant or ambassador born in France are eitisen of the United States; but in this ease they are not citisens ef a particular State. 4. Sex doe not determine for orsgainst citizenship. The wife and children of a eitisen are as mnch citisens as he is when they srs born ia the country. 6. Color does not determine eitigenship; for if a colored man be free, a citizen of one of the Stetes, he is entitled to be defended in all bis personal and property rights. Mr. Tansv will not deny that, nor can it be denied Free negroes sue in all th Courts of the U. 8. and are a part of the body politic. But if their citizenship be denied, there is a ex. Urion which will test it at once. The United Slates Government employs a large number of free negroes as sailors. Now, suppose that in a boat, or a harbor or in any way, one of iheee colored nailors should be seised or impressed by th armed veasele of a foreign pewer, will the United States government permit it? No. It will treat ihe acts tan offence ef the gravest kind. But by what right can the the Government interfere? Only on the ground that the man is its citizens a part of ite people . Upon no oilier ground will international law authorise any interference. In a question of International rights every human being musthave a stsius, a membership in some nation. The colored sailor belongs to the American nation and no other. He must he defended as such. We know that there is a great deal ssid about the flag This is very well, hut the ultimate test of the rights of persans between nations is citiaenship; and in regard to that the government of the United States will defend the rights of its colored citizen under all circumstances, nor eould it do otherwise without being!, degraded in lbs eyes of the world. The colored free men of the states are de facto a part of ihe American nation embodied in it. They are entitled to it protection. They can sne in the courts for their property snd their rights. To say, in the face of auch fact they are net citisens, is an obvious absurdity. We have net examined the official report of the Drcd Scott case, and hope that no such absurdity as thst can be found in it. Whatever th Court may have said, it is plain that in the tribunal of public opinion no mere arbitrary dictum will paaa for law. The opinion a Chief Jut nee or a chief cook will be equally unavailing to impair the just rights of the citizen . 0Theloiioii.gu said to have been uttered by eome, "orator" lat "Fourth of Joly."
