The following extract from an address deiv-
cred by Reverend Leander Kerr, at Platte
City, Missouri, near the Kansas border,will
afford our readers an idea Of the part which
some OF the Ministers of Missouri have Ia.
ken in exciting the recen: election riots in
Kansas:
"Do gentlemen talk of lawful and honota-

WooL.-The New York Wool market has
presented much activity for the last two
months, in all kinds of native woods, and
considerable advance in prices, say from 10
to is per cent in every description but more
particularly in the finer grades and better
class. This advance compared with the
prices Of last year when the lowest points,
is attributed to the small stock it the various

from the re-employment of u large share OF

AMERICAN HOTELS A number Of Broad
way Hotels have raised their eytravag3a
rates, to the still more uneudu.able price OF
three dollars day This state OF things de-
mands a reform in Hotel management, and
Yankee ingenuity must exercise itself in find
ing aremedy. The keepers of these Hotels,
perhaps, are not to be held responsible for
these extravagant charges, but The evil
grows out OF the system. Every guest at one
OF these Hotels pays for not only what he
himself has, but for what every other guest
has. The miserable dyspeptic who eats bran
bread, and drinks cold water, must pay for

soup--fisl--:oast- becf-canvass back ducks

There is more contemplate meanne SIS in
the management Of some OF the supper clas''
Hotels in our large cities, than in any other
branch of business, more lying, more false
entries in bills, more favortism, more mpu-
dence and more imposition. In almost every
Hotel contracts-you pay for
what you get, but when you enter your name
upon Hotel register, you get what you can,
and yor pay for what every one else has.
Mr.. Howard. an experienced man in such
matters, has published a letter in the Cour-
Ter anc Enquirer upon The American Ho-
tel system, in which he points out the evils
Of the pre- sent plan, and advocates what is
generally styled the European rlan, by
which person calls for what he wishes and
pays accordingly. Under this system, guest
can aave such room as his purse or fancy
may dictate, can have his meals when
where, and of what he sees fit. AS matters
now stand, the evil is not to be endured, for

More Developments.

The Know Nothnys of the North are fol-
lowing up the atrocious policy Of the party
in Massachusetts, with perfect fidelity, and
rsmorseless energy. In N. Hampshire, e,under
Democratic domination over censeryati We
and patriotic State, Know Nothingsm is
working out its legitimate results. The Lr-
gislatnre has adopted series of resolutions
in which the Nebraska bill is denounced with
special emphasis, and the most extreme anti
slavery sentiments promulgated with all the
authority Of the State. In Connecticut, the
wings combined with the Know Nothings
and elScted Il Know Nothing Abolitonist
Governor of the State, over the Democratic
cane idate, who stood upon the noble nation
al platform which was received with such
satisfaction in the South. In his inaugural
message, this Know Nothing Governor en-
dorsed the Maine Liquor Law, and recon-
mended the extension if The right Of suffrage

can read .nd aorite. He too denounced the
Nebraska bill in terms of unmeosured con-
dGmnation.
With these revelations before i'm can any
man doubt the real aim and inevitable ten
dency of Know Nothingism!
To the people of Virginia, they read an
impressive udmoniton. We will heed the
lesson.
