Slavery In Missouri.

We invite the attention Of our readers to the
following from the st. Louis Herald, Fears have
been entertained by some, that the influence of
Slavery in Missouri, would serve to establish it in
Kansas. We have never believed that such
would be the case, 'and what we copy below
strengthens us in our opinion:
ain Missouri, slavery is at stand, il not retro
grading 1t may be said, with almost liberal
truth, that the slaveholding emigration to Mssou-
ri entirely ceased three years ago. There Is now
a slavsholding emigration from Missouri. Be-
sides, slaves are constantly being sold to the
South. There are no more slaves in Missouri to-
day than there were three years ago. The pros
pect is that ten years hence their numbers will be
greatly less. There are now in the State, 700,-
900 whites and 81 900 slaves. Ten years hence,
there will be at least 100000 whites and prob
ably $4,000 slaves. There ard now more than
eight freemen to one slave. Ten years hence,
likely enough, there will be twenty freemen to
one slave" ..
We also give the following upon the same sub
ject from the Cleveland Herald. Mr.. HARRIS a
strong anti-slavery man, and one of the Editors Of
that paper has recently made tour through the
West, and as q consequence is able to give re-
III ICSuIu " TIC
"The ant-slavery feeling is very strong in Mis-
souri,, and the opponents of the institution which
so depresses the enterprise and checks the pros
perity of the State, anticipate the Fastening of
the work of emancipation should Kansas and
Nebrarka be free. With the example of free peo-
pie and free territory on all sides except almost
stand-still Arkansas, it is thought slavery will
rapidly die out even in the hemp and tobacco
growing sections, the only portions of Missouri
where even now slave labor is at all profitable.
Very few slaves are owned in st. Louis, and the
proportion of eolored population appears smaller
than in Cinci: natl or our Lake cities. The state
of Missouri embraces vast territory, with every
advantage of fine climate, rich soil, abundant
minerals, and navigable rivers, and if once free,
would at least keep pace with Illinois and Iowa
in growth and development, but with the blight
of slavery upon her, the best class of emigrants
pass through or shun her fertile valleys and prai-
ries, progressive enterprise feels a deadlock
Farms in Illinois bring about double the price
similar lands in Missouri, and while the younger
free state is web-N ork of profitable railroads,
slave Missouri has only an unproductive line of
some forty miles. A great majority of the people
of Missouri see, feel and acknowledge the curse
that crushes them, and are eustng about for some
practicable mode of gradual emancipation; de-
sirable work which the rapid settlement of Kan
sas and Nebraska by enterpriSing treemen, and
the consequent establishment of schools, railroads,
manufactures and the various institutions which
flourish only on free soil, will be sure to hep con-
summate. So mote it be.

business. II served them rs il serves the sava-
ges on the weston plains, whenever their acts
make their neighborhood dangerous to the peace
and safety of American citizens. Ii broke up
their village, and drove them off to some other
place, where their piratical propensities may be
INDUCED with less mischief to society.
1t is said that it was a poor, miserable, weak
village and that il was beneath the dignity Of the
United States to expend its strength upon such
au insignificant "power." So are the Indian
villages on the plsins Insignificant and weak
compared with the fortified towns of civilized ma
tions, yet nobody doubts the justice of chastisng
these marauders when they fall upon the defence
less emigrants seeking homes in the distant will
derness. If Great Britsin has the "protectorate"
she assumes over Greytown now is the time for
her to step in and assert it. Nobody will doubt
that she is a power sufficiently exalted to give
dignity to any quarrel which she may seek with
the United States, arising out of this contempt Of
her pretended authority.
Some of the newspapers seem to argue that
because Mr.. Borland, the American Minister,
Nonce had fracas on the floor of the Senate, that
therefore his character is bad and the Greytown
authorities were justified in treating him, though
an accredited American Minister, with the con-
tumely and disgracefu violence they visited upon
him. This is u new doctrine entirely in interna-
tional obligations. His character was not too bad,
in the opinion of his government, to allow him
to be entrusted with an important diplomatic
mission, and whether his appointment was proper
or not, once entrusted with that duty, he was in.
vested with the inviolable privileges of a Minister
Plenipotentary. An insult to him was an insult
to the Government which sent him, for which
there was just cause for asking an apolgy, and in
flieting exemplary punishment if refused.

Gcrritt Smith ON Cvul,n.

The following is very sensible extract from
late speech of this ultra Abolitonist, in which be
declares himself for the annexation of Cuba:
Let Cuba come to us, if she wishes to come.
She belongs to us, by force of her geographical
position. Let her come, even ifAhe shall not
previously abolish her slavery. Il am willing To-
risk the subsection of her slavery to common fate
with our own. Slavery must be short-liyed
thing in this land. Under our law, rightly inter.
preted, and under the various mighty influences al
work for liberty in this land, slavery is to come
to speedy termination. God grant, that il may
be peaceful one!
would not force Cuba into our nation, nor nav
$3.50, 900 for her, nor 100000, ,o00-no, nor
even $l00,000,000. But when she wishes to
come, would have her come; and that may
be more clearly understood on this point, add
that would not have her wait, always, for the
consent of the Spanish Government. Now If
this is fillibusterism, then all have to saw is.

A terrible fuss has been raised by the opposi-
ton presses about the affair at Greytown. and q
great deal of abuse heaped upon the administra-
ton for its agency in the matter. This we ex-
pected of course. 1t is part of their creed to
cry down everything done by the democrats
They have gone so far as to assert, that the ad-
ministration papers dare not defend the act, and
quote from the New York Herald to sustain them.
They mistake the facts in the case. The Herald
is not an administration paper; but on the con-
trary, does everything in its power to oppose and
cripple the measures of the President. The rea-
son is, because the Editor couldn't get an office
under the government. The following we copy
from the Philadelphia Ledger, a neutral paper,
and of course the testimony is impartial:
"After all the Lubbub respecting the Grey
town affair, the facts disclose the chastisement of
q laWless set of rascals, who have squatted upon
territory which does not belong to them, and un-
der the "protectorate" of Great Britain have
done pretty much as they pleased, for number
of years. This "protectorate" was fraud of a
most disgraceful character, on the part of Great
Britain. That government had designs of her
own to accomplish in countenancing the preten-
ded claims OF the lawless " authorities" of Grew
town. She wished to get into her own posses
sion and control the port and river of San Juan,
which was the most feasible and shortest route to
California, and is probably the only route practi-
cable for ship canal. Not being able to get DOS.
session from the Government of Nicaragua, she
set up the miserable imposture of MOSQUITO
King, breechless and drunken negro, who had
no more right over the territory called the Mos
quito territory than Great Britain herself iad,
and then she assumed protectorate" over this
savage.
Under such auspices, and with such views, il is
not strange that the most intense bitterness
should be exhibited in Greytown towards the
American Transit Company, which successfully
opened that route to American emigration to the
Pacific. If the inhabitants have been severely
punished, it is their own fault; they should not
have merited the chastisement BY their lawless
acts. When demonstrated with, they only re-
Jeated their insults. Our Government treated
hem as their lawlessness deserved-broke IN
heir settlement, because of their depredations

OJ Mr.. s. d. HARRIS, Jr. has withdrawn from
the Portage Sentinel. His successors are Messrs.
HARr & CRAIG. Ne. H. says the paper will
continue In the old, beaten track. OF course
then, il will continue 10 support the Nebraska
bill.-POrtage Democrat.
We are not aware, that Mr.. HARRIS has ever
said or written any thing in regard to our opin-
ions upon the Nebraska bill. When a good op-
portunily is offered, we will cheerfully give our
views upon this subject for we entertain no opin-
ions, upon political matters, but what we arc
willing should be made known to our readers.
The doctrines Of The democratic party are
clearly defined, and we'll understood We en-
dorse them heartily-fuy. We will here say
however, that whatever may be our individual
sentiments, we do not regard the Nebraska bill
as a test Of democracy. While it was pending
in Congress, the best democrats in the Country
were divided in opinion upon it. Eight, out of
twelve democratic representatives from Ohio, OPP
posed it. The democratic presses of the Coun-
try were also divided upon it. There are men
in Portage County, in whose honesty and democ-
racy we have implicit confidence, who oppose
the bill, while there are others of equal ntegri-
ty of character, who favor it. We, in common,
we believe, with majority of the democratic cd
tors, regard the issue of repeal which the Fusion
lists trying to get up, utterly impracticable,-
as a mere grouse by means of which, they expect
to get into power. But all, or nearly all, of those
who adopt this view, are opposed to making the
bill test of political orthodoxy, and they could
not if they would. 1t never has been in-corpor-
ated into our creed-never has formed part of Ell
ther our State national platform. For ourselves,
we can support any man for Office in the demo-
cratic ranks, no matter what his opinions are
upon this bill, SO long as he is sound on the
leading and long established doctrines of the
party.

! This sterling Democratic journal came to us
last week containing the valedictory of Mr.. Har-
| ris. The establishment has been bought by A.
| Hart, and r. E. Craig, Esqrs, late ofNew Lisbon.
Mr.. Hart is an accomplished scholar, a sterling
Democrat and a sprighty and forcibe writer. Mr.
Craig, for the last two years, has been foreman
of our office. He is one of the best practical print
ers in Ohio, perfect gentleman and one of the
most agreeable young men that it has ever been
our pleasure to do business with He is kind, eour-
teous and obIiging, and withal an unfinching,
neYer-swering Democrat We bespeak for our
friends kindly reception from the Democracy
of Portage. They are young men that must on
ly be known to be appreciated Give them a
good list of ready-paying subscribers and they
will get up paper second to none in the State.
Col. Harris has our best wishes in his retire.
ment. He has been a faithful laborer on the
watch-tower Of Democracy.-Ohio Patriot.
RAvENNA SENTINEL.-Our friends, Messrs.
Hart & Craig, formerly of this place, have pur-
chased the above democratic journal, and will
commence their editorial labors with the next
number. They occupy high place in the es-
TEEN of our citizens, and their ability and gen.
tlemenly department will soon secure for them
free pass into the affections of the people of the
Reserve. We wish them success pecunarly-
defeat politcally.-Bucheye State.
We are grateful to our friends in New Lis
bon, for the kind reception which they bespeak
for us in new home. During our residence in
that place, we made the acquaintance of many,
whom we are glad to call FRIENDS. Their hos
ptality, and kindness to US, will not soon be for
cotton. The best wish that we can offer, is, that
others may do to them, as they have done to u.s.
To the printers we say, good luck to all of you.
May the Patriot continue to be, as it has been,
and now is, the faithful exponent of democratic
doctrines, and may health and prosperity attend
its able editor. To our friend WILSON of the
Buckeye we wish abundant "pecuniary success"
and we sincerely hope, that he may have the
honor Of leading the Fusionists of sold Columbi-
