forcement until time and experience shall
demonstrate the necessity Of further legls-

An Explanation.

At the election of 1853, the editor of this
paper was apparently placed in false posi-
llon, as Il candidate for the Legislature a.
gainst The regular Wing candidate, some
what to his own injury personally, if not to
the INJURY of the Wing party. At no time
since could we make any explanation, wi h.
out being subjected to unpleasant impuis-
tons, and for that reason we have PREFER ed
to make no nlluson to the subject Our
time has now come, aud for the satisfaction
of friends elsewhere, who have never under
stood the matter correctly, we state
That the nomination was made by friends
Of temperance of all parties, without solici
laion on our part and against our judy
ment: that we consulted Wings who were
not in the movement, and particularly the
recognized organ OF the Wing party, the
chairman Of the town committee as to our
duty IN the matter SO far as concerned the
Wing party of the town; that we were ad-
vized that il was our duty as Wing 10 ac-
cept; that we did accept, with the distinct
avowal that if elected we should act as a
Whig,-but that we were under peculiar
obligations to the Wing party, which might
require us to withdraw, and therefore the &C.
ceptance was made with a reservation OF the
right to withdraw on giving fair notice aud
reasonable time 10 place new temperance
candidate in the field. Subsequently the
Wings nominated another candidate, and the
canvass proceeded until the question must
be decided, 10 Withdraw or stand through
the contest We then submitted that quts-
ton also to Wings who we're not in the tenn
pcrance movement, and to the chairman of
the committee, plainly saying that if duty
to the Wing party required it, we should
then decline and If not, that we must keen
our word to the temperance men in good
faith, and not decline at all. The decision
was, that we ought not to decline; Gnd we
notified all concerned that we were enlisted
for the war. 1t will be observed that we
were not nominated as an opponent Of the
w hiE SahuluNtt uut on inc OlnfT mana the
Temperance men Of all parties offered us,
as a Wing, to the Wings. The Wing eau.
Gus chose not to accept lis. We then were
ready to step out of the field, but Wings
outside OF the temperance movement would
not have us do that, urging as the reason
that if they could not elect their own candi-
date, they desired our success. Such were
the facts. This year we desired to have the
Wings place us right, and they did so as iar
as they could, by unanimous nomination
in the regular Wing caucus. This was fol-
lowed by unanimous nomination also by a
caucus Of opponents Of the Administration
of all parties: and both unquestionably
would have been followed by a reelection,
had the Wing party, and those who &C, with
1t, had votes enough 10 dot The fact was,
they couldn't do it. A new party, born in a
night, iathered by nobody. and christened
"knoa Nothing" held the balance of pow
eri and having bound itselfto stick through

Troops .Massacred by The Indians ST.
LOUIS, Friday, Sept. 8, lS54.-The follow
ing highly important dispatch has Just been
received in this city by Special Express
from Fort Leavenworth.
Lieut.. Fleming states that on the 18th Of
August, an Indian Sioux killed an OK be-
longing TO an emgrant train close to Fort
Laramie. The head chief reported the fact
to him, Q.ieut Fleming) and offered to give
up the otf'ender-whereupo Brevet Second
Lieut.. Grattan, with the Interpreter Ser
geant Favor, Corporal McNulty and twenty
2rivstes, were sent TO receive him. Lieut..
Fleming subsequently learned that the whole
detachment were massacred without excep-
ton. How the deed was done, and the i'm
mediate cause of the attack, was not clearly
known at the time the Express left 1t,
however, had been ascertained that the In
dian Chef was among the killed, but the
total number killed had not TRANSFERRED. The
Indians are reported to be extremely hostile.
and the Fort was considered in great dan
ger. Reinforcemenss have been ordered to

The Number Of Shareholders. The Census
Bureau will in few weeks issue a supple
mentsry work, embracing, among other
things, statement o. the number Of slave
holders IN the United States. We learn
from the superintendent, Mr.. De Bow, that
as nearly as can be ascertained for the pres
ent, that number will be about $4,000. 1t
is TO be hoped that several grades Of slave
holders viii be gwen; as, for instance, how
many one hundred slaves or more, how many
fifty, sc. We incline to the opinion that
one-tenth of the Shareholders own one half
Ut the slaves and II the census returns are
full and satisfactory, we feel confident that
this fact will appear, We are also Impressed
with the idea that another tenth of the slave
holders would be found to own half of the
remaining half Of the slaves and, if we
are correct in tins opinion, formed from long
acquaintance with Slavery, it would appear
that one fifth or seyenty-fve thousand, Of the
shareholders, own three-fourths of the slaves.
This Is the ruling class of the South, and Of
the nation, before which, the American Peo-
pie, North and South, have been constrained
to bow down and pay homage-the homage
of moral prostitution.-.Na National Era.
