Slavery in Kansas.

Mr.. John o. wattles writes to the
Syracuse Chronicle as follows:
"Abut two years ago I visited the
Methodist Missionary Station estab-
lished among the Indians Of that coun-
try. 1t is under the charge Of Mr..
johnson, the principal Missionary. and
located twelve or fourteen miles south
Of the village Of Kansas, on the Mis-
souri,, at the mouth Of the Kansas
River. and some six miles from the
Missouri line. 1t is beautifully situa-
ted, and has around it fertile, de-
lightful country. Such a religious
establishment might well be expected
TO exert a powerful influence for good;
but il may be doubted whether the
evil to which it gives shelter is not
greater than the good. The chief Of
the tribe, on whose laRds the mission
is located, was then a stakeholder, and
the work on his large and fine farm
was all done by slaves. The work on
the mission farm and in the mission
househould was also mainly done by
slavesl 1t is, however, to tho credit
Of the Indians that this practice Of their
chief was not approved by many OF
them, and was the cause of a division
headed by the chiefs brother, and
sustained by large portion OF the
tribe, and by the surrounding tribes or
fragments Of nations, who took the
name Of the Freedom party. The
Kansas nation belonged 10 this free.
dom movement. Visited at the same
time the Friends Mission, several
miles westward, and not far from the
great California route. l found II
organized on the Anti-Slavery princi-
pie, and suffered much from the OPP
pobrium of Aboiifionism. They, how
ever; seemed TO have more the conf
dence of the Indians. Their school
was larger than that OF the other mis-.
sion, and their First Day meetings
were more fully attended. l learned
from the Indians themselves that the
idea Of Slavery was repugnant 10 their
feelings, and that they wanted no re-
ligion that made slave.holding right.
In consequence Of the feeling OF OPP
position 10 this practice, as sustained
by the Methodist Mission, the dissat-
islied portion OF the Indians refused to
patronlse their school or TO any great
extent attend their meetings; and the
large and commodioua buildings, cree
ted at great expense. and calculated to
accommodate large numbers, were
completely useless aud empty. These
things learned from conversation and
personal observation. Most Of them |
gathered from the son OF Mr.. Johnson

son informed us, ioih drove Of SLAVES.

Arrison has been found guilty Of
murder IN the FIRST degree. 1t will be
remembered. that last summer iorpe-

killed him and his vifs. The matter
was at 6rst profound mystery. but a
remarkable train Of circumstances ul.

Our Treasurer yet refuses to take

Legislature to make all state stock mo-

The administration has given anoth-
or Illustration of its devotion to the
great principle elucidssed in the stump
speech on the Nebraska bill. the doc
trine Of squatter sovereignty. The
President has appointed Lieut.. Col.
Steptoe, of the army. Governor OF
Utah. He commands the U. s. gar
rison in Utah. He has with him FIVE
hundred nen and q proPortiOnate
number of camp followers in the pay
Of the Government His appoint
ment. therefore, is exactly equivalent
70 placing in this responsible civil Of
Zee the first battalion Of the ed artil-
lery. How the squatter soyereigns
viii receive the deposition of their
chief priest Governor Young, cannoi
be known for the next three months,
butt is supposed that they will prove
temporarily uprorious. However, His
Excellency, the LIST Battillion Of the
I'd Artillery, win Immediately produce
his credentials, to wit (: the great guns
and short swords of his command.
and win expound to the sovereigns the
6rst principle of the new democratic
doctrines, which is passive obedience
to the powers that be.
Now we do not blame the President
for this appointment. II is just the
Kind needed by the condition Of that
tsrritory. But does it not contrast
strangely with the plea for popula,
rights, set up three months ago by
Bright, Douglas d Co., Why should
the squatters in Kansas have the right
to regulate their domestic institu'
tions'' and not the squatters in Utah !
We ask the candid reader whowas in.
duced to vote for opening the territory
to slavery. to put that and that to-
gether. Lethim see the practice Of a
popular rights government.

An Indiana Mutual Insurance Com
pany.

We think one Of the most needed
things of the times. is Mutual Insu-
rance Company in Indiana, which may
have the confidence and patronage of
our citizens generally Without i'm
putting blame TO the officers Of the ex-
isting Indiana Mutual" we hesitate
not to say that it Is a failure. II no
other objection exists against it, the
fact that it pays losses only once q
year. is fatal. One half Of the advan-
tage Of insurance, is in being able to
resume business in a short time. o.
We would suggest that the next
Legislature incorporate . company
with something like the following pro-
visions. Insure only against losses BY
FIRE. Let the rates Of insurance be
about the same as now required BY
the best companies. and let the premi-
ums be paid in cash. as to other com
panies, except when apolicy istaken
out for a number Of years-say ten
years-in which case one half may
be paid in cash, the balance in note
bearing six per cent interest, payable
in whole or in part ION thirty days mo-
tice, should the losses Of the Company
require it. In case Of loss, the pre-
MUM notes of the loser to be counted
as cash in paying his loss. In case Of
profit, let credit Of the per cent due
each holder of a tens policy, be made
on his note. Every holder Of q ten
years. policy to be a voter in election
Of officers.
The fact that most of the insurance
in the State is done in foreigu Offices
shows the necessity of some kind oil
home insurance company that is re-
liable. Let this matter be thought OF.

The AMERICAN PARTY UScoSsrrru-
rroSAL.-A correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune. writing from Wayne
county, Pennsylvania, under date Of
the 9TH inst, states that his Honor,
James. NJ. Porter, sidentJudge on
his charge to the grand jury, asserted
that they were bound by their oaths to
bring an indictment against every
member Of a Know Nothing council,
under their knowledge, in the county,
and that, although men could not be
made to testify against themselves, yet
they would be bound to be a witness
againsta brother. The Judge consid-
cred the association unconstitutional,
and should come under the ban of the
law. tits said that about two-thirds
Of the grand jury are members of the
organization. and ii is supposed they
would respectfully demur."

MR. EnrroR:-Items are scarce in
this market at present, and l don't
know that | shall be able to interest
you or your readers by my scribling
this week. Uniformed you in my last
communication that.the Ladies had &C
complished aglorious work in the des-
truction of King Alcohol, and we have
hoped his kingdom was overthrow
and he vanquished forever. But ex-
perience has taught us that he is a foe
of no ordinary subtilty. Though van
pushed he appears determined not to
give up his power without mighty
struggle. For flew days he ha, been
rallaying his forces for the purpose Of
reestablishing his Bachanalian king
dom. He has appointed one Fred Zu-
termister (better known as Dutch
Fred) Generalissimo. This same Fred
signed a pledge not to SELL any more
intoxicating liquor in the town Of Lib
erty. But in violation Of that pledge
he has brought on fresh supply of
beer which he is retailing TO his mag
isty's subjects. This so incenced the
community that few unknown per-
sons assembled, covered by the dark
ness of night and stoned his house
breaking the windows, door, and seve-
raj Of his jars. Whether this riotous
way Of putting a stop to drunkard
making is proper or not. vii. leave
you readers TO say. But the citizens
Of this town are determined to dis
continue the use Of the critter and
as far as possible. prescribe the man

lie opinion so far as 10 10 sell II, can

not be enforced? Let our legislature
pass a stringent prohibitory law and
the people will enforce il and bring
down the curse upon the heads Of the
guilty and thereby save the inebriate
and restore peace TO his family. Let
temperance men all awake and stand
at their posts for the day Of retribu-
ton is come and the liquor seller shall
not be able TO stand. For the cries Of
the worse than widows and orphans
