The TURKISH SLAVE TRADE.-This traffic
is carried on only among the Western tribes
OF the Caucasus mountains, and the fair
Clrcassian maidens look forward with de-
light when they shall be sold by their parents
to the Turkish traders, and, and for the de-
sired end brave the miseries of the Black
Sea passage with pleasure. The Russians
objected to this slave trade, inasmuch as it
afforded supplies of gunpowder and other
important articles to their enemies, the war
like Circassians, and when a the time of the
Adranople treaty, they obtained the Western
Caucasus, they established line of forts
along the shore to prevent the trade. A few
years since, however, Russia withdrew, in
effect, her prohibition of the slave trade, by
declaring that though Turkish vessels might
come to Anapa and buy as many young Cir
casslans as they pleased, the slaves must all
be entered as Russian subjects travelling to
frebizonde or Constantinople, and provided
with Russian passports. By this shrewd
policy the slaves have right to claim the
protection of the Russian Ambassadors and
Consuls in Turkey, and thus all such Cir
casSians who may be raised to high offices
of state in Turkey will be led to regard Rus
Sia as their natural protector.

A SHAMEFUL LACKNowLEDGMENT.-I their
paper of Monday last, the editors of the
Statesman acknowledge that their abandon
ment OF opposition to the Nebraska fraud,
was IN consequence of an understanding that
the President was to divide the offices of the
territories of Kansas and Nebraska equally
among northern flunkies and southern cove
nant-breakers and they rail at the president
like street bawds, and threaten him with
their future opposition, in consequence of
having received from Washington an init
nation that the funkies are about to be cheat
ed out of portion of the wages of their
corruption. We have never seen a more
open and undisguised confession of venalitv
and corruption. We are astonshed that the
honest portion of the democracy can receive
these confessions with any other feelings
than those of the deepest disgust, and we are
still more astonished that they can lend them
selves to sustain and carry out such undis-
gulsed bribery and infamy.-Xenia Torch.
AID FROM THE BEY OF TUNIs.-The Bey of
Tunis has come to the determination of send
ing aid to the Sultan, in the shape of 10000
infantry, 4UU cavalry, and two batteries of
artillery, under the command of Gen. Res
chId, who was sent last year on a mission to
France. The Bey notifies to the consuls of
France and England as follows -
" Praise be to God and the Prophet of God.
We have thought it our duty to take. within
the limit OF our means, a part in the great
question which occupies the nations of the
east, question which interests the whole
world. With this view we propose to de-
tach our ships with division of our troops.
We write to you that you may be informed
of our intentions"

By the way, about the best joke of the
season, thus far, has been the bIunder of the
President in telegraphing to the mayor of
Boston an order to summon the state mill

Smith informed Charles g. Greene, editor of
the Boston Post, of its purport, and

President, by the earliest mail, copy of the
U. S. constitution, with the passage marked,
by which he is empowered to make requs-
tons for military assistance solely on the
governors of the states.

NEBRASKA TERRITORY, $50 m. west of
Council Bluffs, May II, 1854.

The man who carries the mails from Fort
Laramie TO Council Bluffs is staying with us
tonight, therefore embrace the opportuni-
ty OF sending you line or two to let you
know that we are all living and in our usual
health. God has preserved our lives in the
midst of the dangers through which we have
had to pass. We have seen only II Indians,
and the mail carrier says there are none for 200
or 300 miles. We have had some cold storms
and some very windy cold weather, which
made it very uncomfortable but we all got
through without much injury, so far as we
can judge. Our folks all keep up courage
much better than | expected. | supposed
some would have the dumps and others the
mumps, horrors and blues; but they have
only had few slight attacks of any of these
complaints, and they give way easily to a
dose or plaster of patience.
You perhaps would like to know how we
get along in regard to our religious duties.
Well, | can tell you. We keep up family
worship night and morning, and we have
commenced bible class, and PRAYER meet
ing last Sabbath, which we intend to keep
up each Sabbath when Providence permits.
We believe that the commands of God reach
beyond the commands or practice of men,
society, we Try to keep the Sabbath.
We have almost all kinds of provisions,
and it is wonderful what an appetite we all
have for our food; it seems to me sometimes
that we could eat up everything at once
The boys take turns at watching: we have
to keep guard all night lest our cattle should
stray away, or be stolen. We feel in very
little more danger here than we did among
the whites in some places. Want of time
compels me to write briefly
Yours truly P. CONDIT.

HORACE G.. WoODWORTH
Democracy and Slavery.

On. Horn. in his speech in this village on the
10th inst. said there were bat two cases where
Congress had constitutional right TO Iegislate
upon the subject OF Slavery. One was, to put
stop to the importation of slaves, and the other
the restoration of fugitiyes, embraced in the
Fugitive Slave law. He stated that i'll his opinion,
the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional as
was every act touching the subject of slavery in
the organization of Territories If DIR. Hoyts
position is correct, we ask our Democratic friends
how they to dis rose OF the following Resoln-
tons, passed by the Democratic Convention held
AT Madison in September, 1919:
Resolved, That we are in favor of strict con-
struction at all times; fully regarding the reserved
rights of the states.
Resolved. hat opposed to the extension
of slavery into territory free
Resolved, That we opposed to the admis
zion OF any states into the Union, the consti
tuition or laws OF which create or sustain slave
~.
Resolved, That all national laws which sustain
or recognise slavery except when the institution
exists distinct state right, should be repeal
ed.
Resolved, That we believe it to be the duty OF
Congress 10 incorporate the provision of the Or
dnance of 1877, prohtp, ny slavery or involun-
1ary servitude into all territorial organic acts
hereafter to be passed and to oppose the admission
into the Union oil any new slave states.
The Democratic Party have heretofore claimed
10 be Anti-Slavery. The Missouri Compromise
has. professedly received their sanction and appro
baton. In 1915, Stephen a. Douglas, in speech
at Springfield, H., said of it
The Missouri COMPROMISE has been in prac-
teal operation for about quarter of century.
