INTRODUCTION OF SLAVES INTO KANSAS We are
pleased to find that the prospects hattering for
the introduction of slaves into the Kansas territory
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Enquirer writes:

liable in any country, and it is generally popu-

for clearing up the country, and reducing it to a

in Kansas will be from saveholdng States and that

We would respectfully inquire of the Editor OF
the Spirit Of the Age if he knows whether the Philip
S. White, ESQ., of Philadelphia" who participated
last week in the Massachusetts, State Temperance
Convention, held at Lowell, is the Philip s. White
who has been lecturing in this State.
Standard
We have seen no account of the proceedings OF
the Massachusetts, Temperance Convention, held
at Lowell, therefore do not know whether Philip
S. White, Esq, of Philadelphia" participated" in
such meeting or not. We know of but one gen.
tleman, however, bearing that name and hailing
from that location and he is the one "who has been
leeturing in this State" -" We would respectfully
inquire Of the Editor of the Standard why he asks
the question
We asked the question because the Convention at
Lowell was composed mainly of Abolitionists and
revilers of Southern institutions. The Beechers
were there and the Hon. Samuel Hoar, noted Alb
olitionist, presided. The Rev. Mr. Peck, of Maine
said:
"He stated further that there will be union of
anti-Nebraska, Fugitive Slave Law, and Temp
erance men in Maine, and predicted that Neal Dow
will be the next Mayor of Portland and Amasa +.
Merrill the next Governor of Maine. He said no fu-
gitive slave could be taken from Maine Their prln-
cplss are obedience to the Prohibitory Liquor Law
of Maine and obedience to the Fugitive Slave Law.
The Reporter for the New York Tribune, from
which we gather these facts, says:
"During all the discussions of the Convention in
desd every expression Of interest and sympathy
with the cause of freedom and of adherence of the
Fugitive Slave Law and the Nebraska niquity, (and
there were many such,) received with universal
and earnest demonstrations of appreciation and SYM
pathy."
We find in the same report, the following notice
of Mr. White:
"The evening session attended by an i'm
mense assembly of people, and Philip S. White, Esq
of Philadelphia was introduced to them. His speech
occupied hour il delivery, and was strong
and eloquent plea for Temperance, and the policy
expediency and business of prohbtory legislation
on the subject"
Mr. White, it seems stoo! by and gave his assent
to these denuncations of shareholders and Southern
institute MS He did not rebuke these reasonable
expressions of adherence of law passed in pursu
ance of plain provision of the Constitution, but
contented himself with a speech in favor of the
Maine law.
This man has been paid-four hundred dollars per
month, we Seeve-by shareholders to lecture on
Temperance; and now, it seems, having settled in
free State he goes into Convention with the bitter
est and most INSCRIPTIONS of our enemies, makes
speeches for them, and listens unmoved to their de-
nunciations of institutions and of the Const;tu-
ton of the United States. We are disposed to
censure the friends of prohibition in this State for
their former connection with Mr. White; our object
is to give warning for the future. Let him remain
where he is and let those whose business it is to
employ persons to lecture on Temperance, be more
careful for the future.

But why should North Carolina sustain President
Pierce, when all the other States even his own New
Hampshire, are abandoning him9 When the New
New Hampshire Legislature refuses to elect his friends
to the U. s. Senate, and turns his New Hampshire
organ out of his Office of Public Printer it is rather
too late to call upon North Carolina to sustain him
by electing Bragg Governor-to do what his own
neighbors, and friends, and kin, refuse to do.
fayetteville Observer.
If New Hampshire has abandoned him, it is be-
of his fidelity to the Constitution, his friend
ship for the Nebraska bill, and his determination to
do what he can as President to protect the people
of the South from Freesoil aggression and injury.
If his 4" neighbors, and friends and kin have de-
serted him. 1T is because he has been true as and
this reason pleads trumpet-tongued why we of the
South should stand by him.
But the desertion of New Hampshire is, we trust
only temporary The vote in her Legislature shows
that large and powerful minority is still with the
President; but if of the South should fail to sus-
tain him in this crisis, shall thereby invite every
in the free States to turn against him. If slaUe
holders net true to President aoho stakes him
self for their rights soho ought to be or aoiU be-?
The Wing party of the free States is at length ut
terly Aboltionized. Democrats there are giving
way-half of them are, probably, against the Ne
braska BILL against the President and in favor as
all the Wings are, of giving to the escaped slave tri-
al by jury. Southern Whigs-not all of them, we
gratiied to say-are responsible for much of this
They encouraging it by denouncing the President,
who is true to us-by imputing corrupt motives to
Judge Douglas and those Senators and forty-four
Democratic members of the House from the free
States who voted for the Nebraska b-and by their
continued utilization with the Wings of the free
States. If by such policy, from any cause, the
Democrats of the free States, should be thrown en-
massc, the Wings there have been, against US,
the Union would not survive the result two years.
The picture is gloomy
But if L" fire and sword" is to be USED against
South Carolina, Gen. Dockery is the man to do it.
He has said so, and he would no doubt stand to his
word.

THE SOUTHERN WIGS. The speculation which is
going on as to the policy of the Southern Wings
cannot fail to excite an interest commensurate with
the Importance of the results involved On all sides
it must be conceded that the National Wing organ
ization ALWAYS MOST DISCOUNTED AND IMPERFECT, HAS
BY RECENT OCCURRENCES BEEN UTTERLY DESTROY Ed
The TERM " Wig party" NOW MEANS NOTHING, AND
IT FOLLY In the progress of the discus
sion as to the true policy of the Southern Wings
have been sorry to see that some journals, from
which we had expected better things have thrown
cold water the proposition that the Wings of the
South shall define their position. What objection
be fairly made to this proposition, cannot
perceive. What earthly harm from a
Convention of Southern Wings, met for the purpose
of celebrating in friendly and brotherly spirit on
their true policy and duty, we cannot imagine
Suppose no such Convention is assembled, what
must be the inevitable result? Why, nothing less
than the complete destruction of the Wings South.
With no LEADERSHIP organiZaton--no united prin-
ciples declared-how is it to be kept together and
Can any other fate than total dissolution be expect
ed by reasonable men? Now in this connection,
we will take leave to ask the Wing opponents of a
Convention if they do not that if first pro-
position is true, it must end scattered and disor-
ganized the Wings will be, in transferring many
to the Democratic party, reducing them to a sui
len and useless neutrality The Southern oppon-
ents of a Convention to be crazed with NOR
tai dread that such convention would end in
rYing over all the Wings into the Democratic ranks.
Now we so far differ from these gentlemen as to be
perfectly sure that the Convention is the only mode
of saving the party and of preventing its entire alb
sorption by the Democracy. We wish to prevent
in position in which, though in minority, it will
yet be strong enough to WELD mighty influence
against the enemies of the Union North and South

The proceedings of public meeting held in North

this morning. will attract the attention ofthe reader
We are assured that the movers in it of re-
sponsibty and veracity, and not likely to act inn
prudently without reflection. The statements of
some of some of them as published, if correct, dis
close facts which demand the consideration of the
proper authorities and the rigorous enforcement of
the law. Southern people in times past have been
to blame too much in this matter. 1t is time they
were bestowng more care on the subject. Bot it
should be borne in mind that we have yet but a
one sided statement. Mr.. Beebee, the person to
whom these Objectionable sentiments attributed
has been living in this city for some eighteen months
past and has made many friends who asseverate his
ability to disprove the charges preferred against him.
1t but right and fair that he should have at least
hearing, before the public verdict is rendered We
trust he may prove his innocence If, however, he
is unable to do so, we hope that he may suffer the
penalty of the law Our safety depends upon prompt
and efficient action in such cases.

CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 1t is the universal i'm
preston that the European varieties of the gra
not be cultivated in the open field in this country
but gentman of North Carolina, residing near Will
mington, asserts in of the newspapers that he
imported three years ago at great expense most of
the European varieties in order to try them all test
them by direct experiment whether they could be
cultivated in the open field.
AS consequence, he has matured already great
number of European varieties; especially the golden
Chasseas the Muscat de Erontgan and of Alexandria
the Persuade the Mavoise the Carrowin, the Madeira,
&C., these being some of the most difficult varieties to
rpen into perfection, even under glass.
They reached perfection to size, TASTE crispness
-four, sweetness and perfect maturity. All these
characteristics obtained to his perfect satisfac
ton.
This is an important discovery, and we hope the
enterprisng cutivator will give the details of his
periments well the general result.

THE BosToN Posi-. A warm tribute of admiration
is due this noble journal for its uniform, consistent
and manly vindicaton of the Constitutional rights
of the South and especially, for its most gallant and
patriotic bearing through the recent trying scenes
in Boston, From first to last, there has been no
compromise of the right of justice; no fear of
fanaticism, in any way or shape; wavering;
trucking to expedency policy no, not for a
moment. To stand by the rights of the South in
the South requires courage and selfsacrifce
than it does to be Free Soiler in the North. But
it does require moral heroisIn of the oftiest kind in
the midst of antislavery atmosphere charged
with all the elements of destruction to maintain and
uphold the requirements of the Constitution and
to resist to the death the incton of wrong and in
justice upon a distant and hated people.
We honor from our souls such journals as the
Boston Post, and the gallant and faithful men of
Massachusetts whose spirit represents in it's enlght
ened and patriotic columns. Richmond Dispatch.
