much of the winter at Benicia, where the
California Legislature was sitting, and
where he labored hard to raise force ad-
equate to the invasion and subiugation,
not of Lower California, but Sonora
much more serious business. Men enough |
were ready to enlist, but there was sad
lack of funds, which defeated the enter
prise. InJune following, Walker landed
with single associate, asapeaceable trav-
eler or advcnturer, atGuayamas, the chief
port of Sonora, opposite Lower Galifot-
MIA. He was soon recognized as a
plotter of revolution, and sent out of the
country. At least, such was the official
report made to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs at Mexico.
Walker returned to San Francisco,
where he soon succeeded in raisinga force
of forty five men among the broken-down
adventurers who there abound, procured
some sort of vessel, and with these ef-
fected the landing at San Jose, whereof
the American people have been duly ad-
vised. The report that they have takeri La
Paz, a place of rather more Importance
than San Jose, lying some miles inland, }
may be true, and may not. If these ban
ditti succeed in shooting few harmless
Mexicans. and plundering their houses,
their mission will probably have been &C
complished, even without the subjugation
of California to Slavery, which is the OBJ
ject of the hackers of the raid, and was
doubtless the avowed purpose which inn
PEELED those who have furnished the sinews
of war for this shameful outrage. 1t will
be observed that the Fillibusters hardly
waited to land, before extending tile Code
Of Louisiana-that is, the Code Of Slavery
over the entire Peninsula, whereof they
did not possess thousandth part at the
time of making the proclamation!
/ Of course, nothing could be more op-
perfume for Santa Anna, just as his con-
spiracy against the liberties of Mexico was
:. ripening to it's consumation. He will,
doubtless, make the most of it; but we
are not at all sure that Walker & Co., will
await the arrival of his forces. They will
probably collect what plunder they can lay
hands on, and hurry back to their lair il
San Francisco. But they will have sue
f ceeded in seriously embarrassing Col
Gadson, our ambassador in Mexico, wht
r has important and critical negotiations il
, progress, which this raid will inevitably

IMPoRTANT TO PosTMAsTERs AND OTH-
ERs.-We understand that, by recent IN
structions of the Postmaster General, the
exchange offices of New York and Boston
are required to report every postmaster
taking wrong rates of postage on letters
to foreign countries. We also learn that
from these reports it appears that, besides
other errors, great many letters for the
continent of Europe, marked to go "via
Liverpool" or "via England" are taken
by offices in the interior at rates apPhca-
BILE only to the direct Bremen line. ms

John C. Calhoun. !.

Born in a region where the tropical safalss
is apt toripen human passions into the rankasl
luxuriance which it imparts to physical =
nature-was the severest dialectician and.5
the least ornamental writer among all our
distinguished men. His style, though IN
tense, was highly intellectual, plain, direct, q
cogent, sinewy and dunyielding. Nofowerss
of fancy bloomed along its path; it never GO
wandered into rich meads or leafy woodss'a,i
but arid and hot, like way across the
desert, it bore along its burden of thought
without one cooling oasis or refreshing
shade. The voluptuousness of life, the g
magnifcence and pomp, the exuberants
fullness and deep-toned harmonies of tho g
southern zones, seemed not to have touch
ed the springs ofhis being, never made hio
brain delirious, or kindled his soul into
poetry. AS well might he have been born
in Nova Zembla, or anywhere above TIE :
line of perpetual snow, as in the south, for
any effect it produced upon his imagin
alton and fancy.
On the contrary, the sonbriquet given
him of the "cast iron man" would show
rather that he came out of the bowels Of
our own northern mountains; for, like iron
he was capable of intense heat and q
slight flow, but of no brilliancy Or sparkle.
Stern, dignifed and upright, he was at all
times neither more nor less than the great
Senator. A witticism proceeding from his
mouth would have seemed moral suicide:
and capricious, fantastic or cross conceitz
the beginning of mental alteration. Its
said, that in the bosom ofhis family, among
his friends, neighbors, and servants, he
relaxed into some lambent play of the af
fections; but we, who only sow him wrap
ped in his senatorial robes, like stern Old
Roman, must recdrdthe report as aStraus-
sian myth Putnaan's Month Magazine.

ApvERr1s1Ne.-In one of the proverbs
of Solomon we find the most comprehen-
sive and satisfactory exposition of the phi
losophy of advertising that ever was OF
could be written. The business men and
some of the merchants of Upper sandus-
ky cannot believe much in Solomon, as
they do not follow his directions, viz:
"There is that scattereth and yet in
creaseth and there is that withholdeth
more than is met, but it tendeth to power
ty."
And again, here are the words OF Pau
SO expressly given that none can mistake
his meaning:

also sparingly; and he which soweth boun-
tifully shall reap also botintifully,"

From the Lexington Express
Letter from Hon. John G. Miller.

"AShlNIEoN) eUruSTy Il, 1904.
Messrs. EDITORS: A late number of one Of
the newspapers published in our State, and
received by yesterdays mill, contains The
following:
THE Lexington (Mo.) Chronicle SAYS
"lf reports from Washington be true, Mr.
Miller has introduced bill to organize Ne.
braska Territory, with the odious Wilmot
Proviso Incorporated in" &c.
Permit me 10 say that if such reports from
Washington reached the editor of the
Chronicle, or any one else, they are without
foundation and wholly untrue. / am now
as ever haze been, utterly opposed TO the
Wilmot Proviso, or any other legislation by
Congress which seeks 10 impose restric-
ton upon slavery in the Territories; and he
who charges me with Freesoilism, does me
gross injustice. In my canvass for Con-
gross in 1850, SO avowed my opinions.
And wherever addressed the people,
maintained the principle, that the question
of slavery should be left to the decision Of
the people interested in and 10 be effected
by it, and that Congress should not legis-
late upon the subject. The bill introduced
by Mr.. Douglas asserts that principle, as the
principle recognized in the Compromise acts
of 1885,, and ] shall give it my support, as
will my Wing colleagues also.
Very respectfully, your friend and serv't,

A Hard Customer to Please.

The editor of the Bloomington Republi.
can is in great trouble. He made up his
mind that it would suit his party best for
the Wings TO oppose the Nebraska bill, and
forthwith announced that the whole Wing
party was sold 10 the abolitionists--wa to-
tally "aboitionised." The Wings, howev-
err, did not, and do not oppose the bill, and
now the editor is abusing them because
they go for the bill! Poor fellow, he is 10
be pitied. The Douglas bill upset his par
ty, and their last platform, but he swallowed
il down, and by next summer he will de-
nounee the jackson resolutions, as free.soil
in their tendency. He need have no trouble
about "The Times" and its subscribers in
Maeon-they will attend TO their own af-
fairs. E5%If it is any consolation to neigh
Dor Gilstrap we will inform him that our
LISTS increasing in his county-and as soon
as we get hundred or two more, we intend
to put him in the ''ring," and stir him up
for their especial qualification. Look sharp,
and get ready for the "show."

T5@The wing and freesoil papers in every
part Of the State are teeming their abuse up
on the Democracy OF Howard county for re-
commenting Gen Clarl, TO the consideration
OF the District Convention, hoping to create

among the friends Of the several distin-
guished gentlemen who have been spoken

What commosion Papers in erery
part Of the State excited because the de-
mocracy Of Howard recommended Gen.
Clark for Congress! Who would have
thought it? The astute scrbbler Of the
"Banner" is the only person that has dis
covered The fact that the whig papers in ev-
cry part OF the State are excited. Verify.
we have not been excited and declined a
controversy with the Banner or The subject
because we knew that concern desired TO
have us denounco the meeting and General
Clark. We were in favor of Gen. Clark as
the candidate Of the opposition, and wanted
him nominated, and thought at one time he
had some chance: hence we were disposed to
aid him. He and his friends, however, have
found out that the party wont swallow him
and oil that is now desired is to get him, be-
fore the Convention, and give chance for
the Withdrawal of his name, accompanied
by such speech as will do him good here
after. We wish he could get the nomina,
ton, for that would be the end Of him.

Old Bullion-old Bourbon.

Col. Benton won for himself the soubriquet
of "Old Bullion" by his celebrated gold
hobby, and the hard lcks he hit banks and
bank paper. We observe the St. Louis

the war he wages against that fluid. "Old
Dave" has been known to get down Old
Bourbon often, and it is not bad name for
him, as in the many contests they have had

Benton ever will banks, and why should he

Nebraska and Kansas Bill.

We have partial proceedings OF the final
passage of the Territorial bills through the
Senate, on the night of the 4th. There was
much excitement in the Senate, and some
very sharp shooting, as well as some hard
drinking. We shall get a connected and
complete account by our next issue. Doug
las closing speech is highly spoken of, and
after the bills passed Gen. Cass "congratu-
lated the Senate upon the triumph of Squat
Ter Sovereignty"
The following is the non-intervention
clause, as it finally passed the Senate, about
which all the "noise and confusion" has
been made:
THAT the Constitution and all laws of the
United States which are not locally inap-
plicabe, shall have the same force and effect
within the said Territory of Nebraska Us
elsewhere within the United States, except
the Sth section of the act preparatory to the
admission OF Missouri into ihe Union, APP
proved March 6, 1920; which being incon
sistent with the principle of non interven-
by Congress with slavery in the States and
Territories, as recognized by the Legislation
of 1885, commonly called the compromise
measures, is hereby declared TO be inopera-
tive and void; ii being the true intent and
meaning ofthis act not 10 legislafe SIovery in
10 any Territory Or STATE, nor 10 exclude ii
NeretTon,, but 10 leave The people thereof per-
tectly free to form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own cray, srlject only 10
The Constitution ofthe United States. Provi-
ded, that nothing contained in this act shall
be construed % revive or put in force any
law or regulation which may have existed
prior TO the net OF the 9th March, 1920,
either protecting, establishing, prohibiting or
abolishing slavery.
