Love On.

,... s-E .zi; LoV6 On, D. s;
Love on, love on, the soul must have shrine
~ The. .rudest breast must have some hallowed
spot; -. v si,:s IS, t$l.s. ts3
The God who formed us left mo spark divine.
In him who dwells on earth and loveth not,
Devotion's links compose a sacred chain,
Of holy brightness and unmeasured length;
The world with selfish rust and stain
May mar its beauty, but not touch it's strength
Love on, love on--ay, even though the heart
We fondly build on proveth like the sand;
Though one by one faiths eorncr-stones de-
part,
And even hopes last pillar fails to stand;
Though we may dread the lips we once belive ed,
And know their falsehood shadows all our
days. !,
Who would not sooner trust and be deceived
Than own the mean, cold spirit that bctrays
Loveon, love on, though we may live to see
The dear fnce whittier in its circling shroud
Though dark and dense the cloud of death may
:. be,
Affections glory yet shall pierce the cloud
The truest spell that Heaven can give to lure
3 The sweetest prospect Mercy can bestow,
Is the blessed thought that bids the soul be sure
Twill meet above the things it loved below.
Love on, love on-Creation breathes the words
Their mystic music even dwells around;
The strain is'echoed by unnumbered chords, y
And gentlest bosoms yield the fullest sound
As flowers Keep springing, tho their dazzling
bloom,
Is oft put forth for worms to feed upon,
So hearts, though wrung by traitors and the

MISSOURI AND KANSAS.

10 TIE Eddo, Of The " Tribune.
SIR: Since the passage Of the Nebraska Kansas bill OF
the STAKEHOLDER Douglas and Richardson, great
interest is felt in the question whether Kansas will be
free or slave State Ny opinion is that not only Kansa
Int Missouri also will be free States in years. My
opinion is founded on the following reasons:
Tie best lands and the best climate between the Mis-
souri, River and the Rocky mountains embraced within
tie limits OF this State and Territory.
, They lie directly in the line Of emigration from the
free sates-that mighty, ceaseless irresistible tide, eve
rolling westward. 1t seems to be as much law OF on
nature, that we should migrate westward "a that the
earth should revOlye in the opposite direction no that
has calculated the mighty force OF this torrent can suppose
that il will be diverted from its course by the presence OF
few black persons in Missouri Who stupid as To be-
eve that the myriads u northern reemen lured onward
I'm their natural course by the millions OF fertile acres in
Missouri and Kansas will aside TO the bleak hills and
arid of Nebraska Ohio - already fu wave aitcr
wave is rolling onward toward the western bank OF the
Mississippi even now the torrent Is laying me FEET Oh me
affairs OF Slavery that shore Can the sealtars stand
A well might you expect the feeble burush to Withstand
the current of the Mississippi well plant raws to stay
the hurricane The march Of freedom onward ana sun
onward toward the setting SUM- irresistible NJ II Is sub
lime in its progress At IT, approach the slave affairs OF
Missouri must fall and disappear forever as Dagon fell, or
the charots of Pharaoh were swallowed up Wser
of the Red sea. 49,
g. slavery is already rseeing from Missouri southwark
Every wear the Haeys Of the saye-trafc are shipping
their cargoes of human chaes to the southern MARKET
m order Every slave thus removed leaves vacuum
for northern free laborer Some OF the richest slave
holders are loving with their property to Louisiana and
Texas. The more humane slayeholdefs VINO remain WIN
scdniesce without murmur, in the decree of emancpa
ton which pronounces their human chae, ehates ~
For the reasons here given and Others which might be
given EN- of opinion that not only Kansas but Missouri
will be free States impulse has been given by
the late excitement 70 emigration from the Tree states III
will flow with increased and Increasing force and gye
emancpaon 10 the slaves of Missouri it has already
done 70 those Of Illinois.

teacher Professor Gray has obtained celebrity that needs
10 additional testimonial Mental and Moral Philosophy

ability of that gentleman sufficient warrant that the
pupils have made more than ordinary attainment in those
interesting studies
The address Of Professor Gray happily illustrated the
true principles Of female intellectual culture appropriate as

males in American society As it is probable the address

SOUND THE ALARN.

SIR: met day or two ago with gentlensn from
Kentucby who hss just returned from visit to Kan
sss Territory whittier be had been for the purpose OF
making arrangements for establishing Pro Stsrery
Paper He ssys that the enterprise met with unex-
pected announcement That the Pro-Slavery mes
who were slready in the Territory and they are not
few were determined to leave no stone unturned
nothing undone which could in any way all IN
establishing Slavery there He says that great num-
bers daily visiting the Territory from the southern
States and are selecting lands which they intend TO
hold until the Indian titles fully extingushed. and
then secure their claims.
This gentleman further says that already there is
scarcely a foot of land within ten miles of Fort
Leavenworth but what has been " staked out" and
clsims laid, and that, too principally by Slavery
propagaudists. He Says that the Pro-Slavery men
were veIy saDguine of succeeding in finally making
laye State of Kansas.
You will see Sir. from the above that il is vastly
important for the friends of Freedom to be up and
doing.
There can be 10 doubt but there is great danger Of
Slavery being established in Kansas-and nothing
short almost superhuman effort thepart ofFrec-
doms friends can avert the dire calamity that threatens
that beautiful Territory. Sound the slarm Cali on
the friends of Freedom TO work-to every possible
means 10 induce those who are true TO the cause
to emigrate TO Kansas I would suggest the great
importance also of having paper immediately estao-
lshed at Fort Leayel worth which will battle fear
essly for freedom. Yours truly,

did the character of Franklin Pierce from personal
quainance was quite confident from the first inroiuc-

would pass BY his influence | therefore then formed a
plan for free emigration by religious coonies-those of one
denomination settling in one township and those OF another

the Territory of strong and undivided AntSavery innu

be permanent and unyeidug; and shat what we want
