have been highly delighted with certain resOlu.
tiOns passed at meetings held at wsstfOrd snG
Independence, Missouri, declaring that citizens
OF Southern States would carry with them into
the Territory Of Kansas every species Of proper
ty, including slaves, &c. These resolutions have
furnished about the only capital in trade Of the
fusion papers for some time past, and they have
really hoped that the effort might not only BE-
made tc establish slavery in Kansas, but that il
might succeed, for 1t is by that means only that
the agitation of thesluvery question can be kept
up and that agitation is all that can keep them
alive. But ithaPpens that the meetings were moi
composed Of responsible persons and that the
resolutions do not speak the sentiments of the
people of Missouri and Arkansas.
The press of both political parties in the re.
gion where the meetings were held denounee the
resolutions as the "contrivance OF few dema-
gogues, urged on by outside influence" aud re-
pudiate them as an indication of feeling of the
mass of the citizens. The AgrGriGn, a demo-
cratic paper, published at independence, Missou
ri, speaks ms follows on the subject:

The resolutions having been secretly prepared
were sprung Unexpectedly upon the audience,
and carried by few previously secured votes, far
the greater number of those present taking no
part in the matter. We feel assured that not

the reckless measures recommended BY them"

burgh (Va.) Herald says:
1--WE have not seen Small Note offered in the
ordinary channels Of business--except from pur.
chasers to merchants-since the prohibitory act
went into effect. And now, our merchants are
seldom annoyed by the offering OF any of this
small currency. Gold and silver is abundant
and no one seems disposed to "hoard up" few
dollars Of change as was the practice only few
months ago.

"INFAMoUs" L1E.-The fusion organ assert.
that Mr.. OLDs' Postage bill, which recently pass.
ed the House. "raises the postage from three to
to FIVE cents" This is not so. The bill does
not increase the rate on prepaid inland postage at
all,but makes the payment by stamps peremptory,
and fixes postage on single letters carried over
rates. Il changes ocean postage from 10 cents
under $500 miles to cents under 5000, and
from rs cents over $500 TO 10 cents over 5000
miles. So that instead of an increase of postage
the bill provides for decrease.
Would it not be as we'll for the fusion organ to
pay little more respect to truth in its assertions!

GERRIT SMIrH.--This noted abolitionist, WIZ
has spent more money and done more labor ir
the abolition cause than any other member O.
that organization, recently made a speech in the
House of Representatives, in which he expressed
himself in favor Of the acquisition of Cuba with.
out any reference to the question of slavery. He
was in favor of the acquisition OH the ground
of humanity and philanthropy. and he did not
think the matter of slavery should be taken into
the account. He was also in favor of the acqu-
sition Of the whole of Mexico.
When Mr. s. was elected the abolitionists
throughout the country sounded their loudost note
OF triumph. His opinions upon all matters con-
nected with the slavery question were considered
as perfectly orthodox. What do they think Of
his position now! Will they retract all their de-
nunciations of the President for the alleged at
tempt to acquire Cuba, and fall in with the views
Of Mr.. Smith, or will they fall to denouncing him
as a"doughface," renegade, and "betrayer
of the cause Of freedom! Will they charge him
with being bribed by the Executive, or by the
slave power!
Won't the fusion organ in this county treat its
readers with his late speech!
