G. s.. Park, the Perjured Abolitionists

In reply to the charges made by the
culprit, whose name heads this article,
Mr.. WILLIAM H. MILLER, ESQ, of
Parkville, Mo-, young lawyer of much
promise, has indited reply, of which we
ask the perusal of our readers. The gen.
tlemen whose affidavits appear in the ar
ticle are not strangers to US. We have
known them for years past, and can vouch
for their honesty, integrity and good stand
ing in society. We do not envy the posi-
ton III which Parks and his endorsers are
placed, nor can we see how men, pretend
ing to be honest, can bolster up such an
outlaw. as the contemplate Parks, Of ne
gro-stealing notoriety. After the facts set
forth in Mr.. Miller's article shall be gen.
orally known, we shall not hesitate to class
all who may then sympathise with Parks,
as men willing to shield the robter, and
share his stolen plumber. They can he no
better; and he who attempts to justify a
man FOR nego-stealing, himself will COM

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-Ast the time for the
assembling of the Legislature is almost at
hand, feel impelled to call the attention
of the members elect, to some matters of
very grave importance, at least to some
who are to feel the practical effects Of their
action,
By the Kansas Bill, the Legislature is
recognised as having the same powers pos
sessed by the State Legislatures. This
being the case, l wishto suggest that there
is one class OF property here requiring
Legislation of rigid character, to protect,
| mean the slaves. AS the owner OF that
kind of property claim the right to speak
on the subject. 1t is clearly the duty of
the Assembly TO pass stringent laws for the
peace, as well as the safety Of our slave
property. To do this, the meddling, pra-
ting Abolitionists, must be silenced. They
will ''howr' about free speech, and free
press, but their rawlings must not be heed
ed. Men have no right to talk SANDER

it, and will make a money damage the
consequence. Any language that may re-
suit in pecuniary damage, to another the
law prohibits. So with us our Legislature
should make the publishing, or uttering Of
Abolitionism, an offence Of high grade
both indictable, and actionatle il loss is
sustained thereby. BY establishing laws
of this kind, our Territory will soon be
filled with wealthy and enterprising men
from the South, and we will soon rid our
selves of the most troublesome portion oil
the Emigrant Aid men. They don't lake
rork. and if the Legislature, will only
make the penalty for the above offences, a
6 or IL months service in a chain gang,
these lazy meddlesome fellows will soon
find their way back to some more congen-
ial cline.

Atchison an Quitting Point.

To give our readers an idea of the
amount Of business done in our city, we
give the names of some of the principle
shippers who are now QUILTING here
Livingston, Kinkead, s. Co., the Salt Lake
Merchants, who had made arrangements
to start from Leavenworth City, after out
fitting one train at that place, which was
four days arriving within five miles of this
city, landed the balance of their freight,
$50 tons.) here, and will do all business
which they may hereafter have, in the
outftting line, at Atchison. Mr.. Blair,
another merchant, with large train and
heavy freight, is also in our place, making
arrangements to start for Utah, at an early
day. Messrs. Hooper s. Williams, will
start from Atchison this season, about one
hundred and fifty Wagons, and probably
much larger train next spring. Mr..
Kimball, with his extensive train, heavily
ireighted, is on the eve of departure for the
Salt Lake valley. The merchants named
above. comprise the chief business firms in
Salt Lake City, and have control of the
vast trade between that place and the
States.
In addition TO the large shipments of the
traders named above, the entire Mormon
Emigration, which is of itself sufficient to
build up a large town, starts from Atchison
We cannot give the exact number of wag-
gons necessary to convey five thousand
emigrants, with their goods and effects, sc
long journey, but our readers can see
that the number must be large. They
have already landed at our wharf about a
thousand tons of freight, and much lar
ger quantity is yet to arrive.
This is the first season that shippers
have been suited in an outfiaing point. Here
all advantages offered, (separate, in other
places are combined. The best range in the
world.with a greatquantity of good water. a
healthy city, with good landing; large

egH is reported that Secretary Wood
son. er oficio Governor, during the alb
sence of Gov. Reeder, has issued certifi-
Gates of election to the pro-slavery nomi-
nees in the districts where the elections
were set aside for informality. We don't
believe the rumor, as we deem it impossi-
bic that any person could usurp such au-
thority. We have esteemed Mr.. Wood
son gentleman of good parts, and shall
not believe him otherwise on flying reports,
backed by no responsible person.-Herald
of Freedom.
No one but the editor of the fanatical
sheet above, could have stated so silly lie,
for it is nothing else. Acting Gov. Wood
son is not the man unnecessarily, to do an
act that would give any color for a suspi-
cion of underhanded dealing. Gov. Rec.
der has already done all that is necessary
to secure all the members elect their seats

The President and Gov. Reeder

AT first 1t appeared that the President
would sustain Gov. Reeder, by some cffi-
cial act, in the Kansas matter. But now
it appears that he takes no step in that di-
rection. And when we sift the whole mat.
ter down and find the actual merits of the
Kansas Governor, there is really not very
much in it at which to be gratifed. 1t is
true that the Governor did resist the Mis-
souri, invasion, but it is equally true that he
did not do it successfully. The result was that
the Missouri ruffans secured a large and
overwhelming majority in the Legislature,
not withhold. There were about ten to
whom he refused certificates, but this was
not enough to change the character of the
Legislature. So the Governor may give
or withhold the certificates, and the Mis-
sourians have the day.
But the President does not even sustain
Reeder in this position, reduced as it is
The Union, his metropolitan organ, bestows
compliments with one hand on the Nilsson
,rians, and with the other on Reeder. And
while we are told that the Governor did not
resort to Washington to demand aid, we
are also told that he is about returning to
his province with his family, satisfied with
the fruits of his embassy, which are no
fruits at all. 1t really looks as if Reeder
made just show enoug h of opposition to the
Missourians to save himself from the scan
DIAL of participation in it, and yet not enough
to prevent them from carrying their points
And tie President raises no finger In the
matter, hut permits it to go on. Thus the
Missourians get all they want, and Reedei
gets the credit of opposing them.
If this is not so, then why does not the
President instruct Governor Reeder to de.
clare the whole Kansas transaction void
and order new election? And why dc
not the Presidents organs here, which are
so loud-mouthed in denunciation of the
Kansas outrage, urge the President to d.
this? If it was, as they say, lawles
outrage, why do they not remedy it? There
seems to be no proper course for the Presi
dent, but to endorse the Kansas outrage, ant
declare it legal and right. or to remedy
as he has the power to do.-.Mdnchestel

Atchisou Institute.

An experienced teacher has opened a

such is the case, as we have noticed large
number of children in our town, and we
are sure that parents who have an interest
in the welfare of their offspring, will moi
fail to improve the opportunity they now
have of giving them an education. The
advertisement of this school appears in an

Northern Chivalry.

Since the organization of Kansas Ter
ritory, we have heard Of nothing hut the
incursions of "hordes of barbarous Ruff
fans" from Mo, rushing into Kansas and
with fire and sword overrunning the coun-
try, to the great terror of the inhabitants.
One would think from reading the ADOLF
ton journals, that Missouri was some tre-
mendous Power, whose population was SO
OVERLOOKING, that like the barbarous hordes
who of old used to overrun Southern Eu-
rope, not being able to subsist at home had
had to find an outlet somewhere, and
hence. their violent inroads into neighbor-
ing States. But what is the facts Mis-
souri, has not half the population Of Mas
sachusetts alone, and yet we hear the
whole North crying out for Uuncle Sam
to come to their rescue, to keep one weak
State from numbering" all their inhabi-
tants. Brave, chivalrous, Free-Soildom!
Cannot Greedy, Parker, Garrison, Fred
Douglas, Beecher. Sumner, Wilson, Sc
ward, Abby Kelly and Giddings and your
hosts of ''black spirits and white with the
States of New England, Ohio and Indiana
and all the other Free-Soll States, can

They were men who when inroads were
made by savage Red men, or more savage
whites, stopped not to call for succor but
rushed to the field leaving their faithful

The title you bear you have darkly diseraced it,
And men pray to see you from dignity hurpd.

Appeal to their GoD and THEMSELVES for re-

Then provoke not their vengeance, for oh if
you do,
Not bullets nor bayonets their rage will suppress
BY the peoples permission do potentates

And their MASTERS the PEOPLE may alwaye re-
strain
The despots in aught they consider unjust;
So reason and justice combine to declare,
And plain common sense the opinion supports;
Beyond this they're tyrants and ought to be-
ware,
When freedom is banished their councils and

Ye monarchs 'tis safer to govern the free,
For the throne that's founded on Liberty's grave
The seat of security never can be.
