The INKsTAND DISPENSED WIrH.-We have
been shown pen, lately introduced into some
of the Government Offices, called Princes FRO
team Fountain Pen, which we consider one Of
the greatest improvements, in the pen line, thai
we have ever noticed. The pen is gold one
OF the very best quality, with holder of a
beautiful, light, and elastic material, made o.
Protean, under Goodyear's patent, and in which
ink is deposited by suction. 1t contains sufi
cient to supply the pen, with constant writing
for six or eight hours. By this improvement
much time is saved, by avoiding the process o.
dipping constantly into the inkstand, beside Sc
curing free and easy flow of ink, and uni
formity in the appearance of the writing. This
must prove an invaluable pen to any one hav
ing much writing to perform.
Messrs Taylor Maury, we believe, are the
agents for this city.

A WORTHY EXAMPLE. ga friend writing us
from Dayton, Ohio, and enclosing pay for ten
new subscribers, says: Since Chase's nomina-
ton for Governor, i have felt my spirit SO much
stirred within me by the violent opposition of a
few papers, that have taken time by the fore
lock, and secured ten subscribers, as the readi-
est means in my power to promote his cleo
ton" Cannot many of our numerous friends
follow his example?

The Nescark Mercury says, that although
New Jersey may hold on to the old party or
EXAMINATIONS, in the local elections, she will in
faIlibly fall into the Republican line when the
Presidential election comes on. The Wing
press in all parts of the State, says the Albany
Journal, hold the same language.

The EVENING STAR of this city discourses
as follows, in reference to the newly formed
Republican Association:
ain the same number of the Tribune we find
a Constitution and bylaws purporting to be
those of the association of the Republican party
in Washington city, which, as a matter of
course, can all be comfortably seated in the
sanctum of our neighbor of the National Era,
If that apartment is twelve feet square. The
Republican party in Washington city is moth
ing more nor less that the never-to-be forgotten
Van Buren-B ufialo-P Platform party of the Fed
eral Metropolis, weakened by the loss of at
least onetenth of its members, in the with
drawal of the two individuals who, having been
conspicuous Free-Soilers in lS4S, are now pro-
prietors of the Organ newspaper, which, to its
credit be it written, has, as at present edited,
no affinity whatever with Abolitionism, direct
or indirect"
The editor of the Star has no occasion to
speak alphabetically about the size of the Erals
ssnctum, as we can assure him that the Office
has not been removed since he was a regular
contributor to the columns of the paper. His
connection with the Era perhaps afforded him
the opportunity of acquiring that intimate
knowledge of the Free Soil Association of ls4S,
which be displays in the above paragraph; but
he should remember that good schoolfellows

KANSAS TERRIroRY.-Ac correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican says that the Supreme
Court of the Territory gave an opinion on the
Sth inst fully sustaining the legality of the acts
of the Legislature. Three judges compose the
court, two of whom are Southern men, Gilmore
and Lecompte, and one Northerner, johnson.
The decision was given by the two Southern
Judges, johnson dissenting, on the ground that
it was improper for the court to give any opin-
ion on the subject.

1t will be seen from the above, that if the
election goes to the House of Representatives,
the shareholders will again triumph.
1t is well for the friends of Freedom to look
these facts fully in the face. While they point
out the danger of another triumph of the slave
oligarchy, they by no means insure that disas-
trous result, and should only serve to nerve
every arm to fight the battle of Freedom with
redoubled resolution. We are unable to see
where the votes are to come from to carry a
single free State for Slavery, except California;
but there is danger, and every freeman should
feel that the result may depend on his single
vote. Let no man, who pretends to call himself
an enemy of Slavery aggression and Slavery
extension, cast vote for any other than the
Republican candidates. Every vote cast for any
third party candidate, whether Know Nothing
or Wing, will be sneakingly and treacherously
given to the cause of Slavery propagandsm !;
and the man who pretends to be opposed to
Slavery, and yet perfdiously goes into any
such third party, when the Presidential contest
comes on, should be Kissed and scorned by
every true friend of Freedom. We a thousand
times more respect the open allies of Slavery,
than such treacherous pretenders to free prin-
ciples. G.
HEROIC YOUNG LADY.-A correspondent of
the Baltimore San, writing from Norfolk, says
"This morning Miss Lucy E. Andrews, of
Syracuse, N. Y, arrived here, via your city,
and rendered her services as a nurse in the hos
pital. His Honor the Mayor (who, am hap
Ply to say, is out again in the discharge of his
numerous duties) accepted the noble offer, and
promptly escorted her down to Jalappi, where
she was duly installed with her noble predeces-
sors, the two Sisters of Charity. Miss A. Is
very pretty and educated young lady, asks for
no remuneration, and has contributed hberahy

WASHINGTON ITEMS Washington, Aug. IL.
The new Board of Managers of the Washington
Monument will commence building operations
again on Monday, as subscriptions in aid Of the
work are literally coming In.
The statement in Northern papers, that the
President intends visiting Canada, is untrue,
though it is probable that invitations have been
extended.
The War Department was near being de-
stroyed this afternoon, by some loose papers in
the attic being carelessly ignited. The flames
were fortunately suppressed before any mate
rial damage was done. Intense alarm existed
for the time among the westend officials.
President Pierce arrived at Staunton, Virgin
ia, on Thursday, and was received by COM |

GOVERNOR OF KANsAs.-The correspondent
of the New York Herald says:
The appointment of Wilson Shannon, of
Ohio, as Governor of Kansas, is understood
here to have been the work of Judge Douglas.
The object was little blast of wind into the
sails of the Ohio Spells Democracy, against the
Free Soil Abolition omnium gathe7um Repub-
lican party; but the omnium gatherums will
carry the State. Shannon gives it up; but ac-
cepts Kansas as forlorn hope. His time is
out in Ohio, and his only chance is a new start
in some new country. His instructions are
said to be, keep with Atchison, but don't make
too much noise about it. Reeder, you know,
went out upon the other tack"

fugitives from labor.
He did not believe the Fugitive Slave Laws
proper executioner of that act. He believed
with Mr.. Webster, that it conferred certain
rights and devolved certain duties on the States
but gave no authority to Congress to leglslae
on that subject. Mr.. w. had yielded agalns'
his own convictions to the decision OF the Su'
preme Court, but he believed he (Webster) was
right. Still, as it was there, let it stand.
In 1887, Slavery was prohibited in the NORTH
west Territory, which is now Ohio, Indians
Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
This was designed to render permanent the
ascendency of the free States, and to guard
against Slavery propagandism. But Afterwards,
when the Slave Power came to feel its strength
il began to cast about for the means of main
tanning that power; and then was silently crea'
ted a sentiment, that whenever American Llber'
ty should be in a pregnant condition, and aboH'
to bring forth new States, that it should have
twins-one of them should be black baby anu
the other a white baby, laughter i or that
free and slave State should be admitted at the
same time. Struggles followed. Louisiana
had about 10000 slaves, and was admIt'el
with them. A few slaves were scattered along
up the river-some at st. Genevieve, some !"
st. Louis and on the strength of these, MIS-
souri, claimed to be admitted as slave State
BY the concession of some Northern mem
bers, acting in defiance of the wishes OF tnen
constituents, she was admitted. But thgy
yielded because they supposed they were e1 o o.
tanning, in the Compromise line Of 30 ~
something positive for Freedom-something y
sacred and so permanent that it must thence
forth stand as part of the Constitution.
He then read from Niles Register, publlste
in Baltimore about this period, passages g0in,
to show that this Compromise was regarded! "
and as permanent as the Consult
ton itself. -.
