This law stands The Senate, as we suppo-
sed il would, voted down the House mendment.
Many papers, we observe, regard this agits-
ton OF the law of 1888, as bad omen for emsn-
ciPaIiOn. and some have gone so far as TO say
that its amendment, as proposed, would be yir-
tual declaration by the State, in favor Of slave
ry. The former are in error, the latter grossly
majority Of the friends of emancipation
are opposed to touching this law "Let il
stand" say they: ''it declares that Kentucky is
opposed TO any increase Of her slave population
from abroad, and that is testimony Of a high
character against the institution" But large
number argue thus: ''every winter, special acts
are passed legslizing the purchase of slaves,
made out Of Kentucky, so that the law is really
imperative as regards owners, who buy ne
groes abroad, for their own use Amend the
law, and forbid any traffic in slaves so purcha-
sed, and you will declare, IegisIatipely, against
the traffic in slaves for gain, and thus accom-
Plish more for emancipation, than by any other
course"
As soon as we can get the necessary docu-
ments from Frankfort, We shall give a full ac-
count Of the proceedings Of both branches as TO
the law of 1888. Meantime, let our friends
every where feel assured, that the cause is on
ward in the State, and that even the passage Of
laws unfaVorable to liberty, would only give
voice to feelings that are curbed while waiting
for the decision Of the RannI. the co.~ea
ton Question. The subject, doubtless, is full
of embarrassment and difficulty. But all signs
are promising, and, If we have the heart to
encounter this embarrassment and difficulty,
and the wisdom to act wisely and firmly, we do
not believe all the powers Of earth can prevent
success.

First. Peace between the United States and
Mexico, and an armistice between the military
commanders of the two countries during such
time az the treaty shall be in suspense.
Secondly. Mexico agrees, in consideration,

The treaty Is understood TO contain many
provisions of detail; but does not, as We hear
include any provision, as has been reported, fol
the maintenance Of a military force by the

As the lurid sky darkened over the river and
its wild shores, Lsvenworth strovs in vain TO re- !.
sist an i'm preston that some fearful event was
so near, tiiat the shadow of destiny's raven wiup
was already over him. The lightning began to
play on the edges Of the clouds in the South
west. As night closed in, he sat unmindful of
the summons to the evening meal, looking in
tently at the opening in the black masses of
woods, where a misty light showed the course
of the great river which was bearing him farther
and farther from the reign of law and order, into
regions whence had come to his ears, even in the
distant North, many tragic tale of blood and
violence.
The boat had rounded deep bend of the riy.
sr, which stretched away below in one of those
immense reaches so rare in tine devious course
'f the Mississippi. Lsvenworth could zee fire
several miles of, twinkling like red star on the
Tennessee shore. Soon after he had noticed
his light, distant plash Of oars came to his
'ars, and from the deep shadows Of the woods
