about to be published at Pawnee, in this

editor says:
"The Enquirer is designed to furnish
the inhabitants of Kansas with the cur
rent news, and to advocate those princi-
pies of Democratic adoption which, in
the opinion of the editors, are best calcu-
lated to advance the interests of the Ter
ritory, and most likely to secure for it
that position which natures God" de-
signed it TO occupy. Possessed of every

entertain the profoundest regard for the
principles Of the Democratic party, and
shall make the mos earnest efforts to in
spire the citizens of Kansas with like

Elevatiou of the-colored Race.

@~<SNeS-S<A ~ sS6&O4O4 LeeA(Cs
A memorial to the Legislature of North
Carolina is now in circulation among the
citizens of that State, praying for certain
notifications of the laws regulating
slaves and free persons of color. From a
copy with which we have been furnished,
weventure the opinion thata large portion
of the better class of population of the
State would be pleased to have the mod
i6eation made.
The memorial is thus introduced: I" Y our
Ememorialists are well aware of the deli
cate nature ofthe subject and the necessity
Of proceeding with deliberation and eau
ton. They propose some radical changes
in the law of slavery, demanded alike by
our common Christianity, by public NOR
.ality. and by the common veal of the
whole South At the same time, they
have no wish or purpose inconsistent
with the bestinterests of the STAKEHOLDER,
and suggest no reform which may i'm
pair the efficiency of slave labor. On
the contrary, they believe that the much
desired notifications of our slave code
will rebound to the welfare of all clas-
ses, and to the honor and character of
the State throughout the civilized world.''
The attention of the Legislature is
then asked to the following proposition
"1. That it behoves US as Christian
people to establish the institution of
nnatrimony amongour slaves, with all its,
legal obligations and guarantees as to its
duration between the parties. 2. That
under no circumstances should masters
be permitted to disregard these natural
and sacred ties of relationship among
their slaves, or between slaves belonging
% different masters. 8. That the parent
al relation be acknowledged and protect
ed by law and that the separation of
parents from their young children, say of
twelve years and under, be strictly for
hidden, under heavy pains and penalties.
f. That the laws which prohibit the in
structions of slaves and free colored per-
sons, by teaching them to read the Bible
and other good books. be repealed"
A lengthy and ably prepared argar
ment follows in advocacy of these meas
ures, and several authorities are cited In
their favor. 1t is stated that the laws of
Louisania prohibit the separation of
young children from their parents and
that IN Georgia and Alabama. the same
thing has either been debated IN the Leg
islature, or suggested IN the Governors
Annual Message. Judge O'Neiil, of
South Carolina, has proposed not only
this, but several other important reforms
IN the slave code. Among them, he
hints at the propriety of establishing mat
rimony and encouraging educasion.-
Other writer's in the State take similar
ground. The Southern Agricultural
Association, which seems to have origin
atad IN Georgia, has twice appealed to
THE beneyolenee and good sense of the
South, IN favor of reform. With view
to the elevation of the colored race. In
Louisiana the education of the free peo-
pie Of color is encouraged by the grant
OF money out Of the public funds.

of the New England Farmer, noticing
the improvement, remarks that he IS so
well pleased with it that he has no hesita-

able lamp with which he is acquainted.
cit gives q steady brilliant light, with
out smoke, and at a very moderate ex-
pense. 1t requires to be fed only with
the poorest oil, and even lard, tallow or
grease will answer. The lamps are SIM
pie in their construction, and cost only
about the same as common lamps OF the
same material and workmanship, while
they give three or four times as much
light. In short, they unite the brilliancy
of camphene with the safety of the oil

that started was one hundred and eigh-
