Gy~We are anxious to hear from the papers
hereabort, friendly to- the Nebraska-Kansas
bill, what their present impression is as to
the doctrine they urged so earnestly while
ago, that this bill was really an anti-slavery
measure. At the late censIS of Kansas
there were over 100 slaves enumerated, and
the recent election outrages, and destruction
of printing office, with various other SIM
liar law-defying acts by the Missourians, do
not seem to verify so happily as need be the
prophecies of our democratic contemporaries
on this subject. An anti-slavery measure,
quotha! What queer pranks this anti
slavery measure induces the Missouri ruffians
to practice! How do our wise neighbors
like the prospect Of few free states south
of Missouri now? A few luminous para
graphs on this subject from them would be
particularly interesting just at this time,-a
special favor, indeed.

THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.
Business, Health, &c.


The business Of our town has been quite
fair this spring thus far, though in conse-
quence Of the prevailing hard times for the
past few months, the business men here have
been IA ther contracting THEFT credits, settling
up and Strengthening themselves, than ex-
panding and enlarging. The stocks of mer-
chandize brought here this spring will not b.
lso large as common, and the business done
during The present season may not therefore
be of equal extent to that Of former years
but il will be more ready pay and healthy
trade than anything heretofore done.
Since the opening Of navigation the prices
of produce at this point have steadily in
creased, keeping even with the highest prices
paid al other neighboring points. Corn es-
pecially has borne good price, and large
quantities have been bought and shipped
here. Storage for grain has been much
needed here, and all that is necessary to
make this good and active grain market is
the opening of our railroads, SO as to afford
equal means of nsportation with neigh
UUIlUp lOWllS, III Oh SedSOIlS VA Tic OedT.-
1t seems impossible that these facilities, to
obtain which the people here have striven so
hard, can be withheld from us much longer
The health of this place and vicinity is
improving. Since the pestilence which
scourgcd us SO severely last year, there has,
as usual, followed in its wake more or less
chills, fevers, and other bilious complaints;
but these, we believe, are fast subsiding, and
the proverbal good health of our town is
again becoming re-established. + The county
at large has all the time been extremely free
from sickness, as could at any time be ver-
fed by the glow Of health and vigor which
so generally n,antles the cheeks of the cit
zens. With as good health and favorable
season as we now have the promise of, much,
very much will be done to retrieve the losses
and alleviate the calamities which befe! this
town and county last year.

FlRE.-About daylight on Tuesday morn
ing last, the house of Mr.. VIM. Furey was
discovered to be on fire. The flames had so
thorough possession of the west part of the
building when discovered, that, without the
aid of an engine or more help than could be
Immediately had, any attempt to quell them
was deemed futile, and all efforts were di-
rected to saving the household goods. These
were mostly gotten out, in damaged con-
dition. There was but little wind, and the
progress of the fire was slow. The building
was frame, very complete and excellent
house the loss was between two and three
thousand dollars, two thousand of which
was covered by insurance in the Portage
Mutual.
This is the only building that has been
burnt in Perrysburg for about five years
pasta remarkable exemption, truly, when
we consider that most of the houses are of
wood. An ordinance, requiring every house
holder to have fire bucket, kept in readi-
ness to be carried to fire, would probably
have saved this house, and might save others
hereafter.

Ghiturial page.
The Journal Resumed.

To-day, May 18th, 1855, the regular week
ly issue of the Perrysburg Journal is resumed.
The dimensions of the paper are somewhat
curtailed of their former fair proportions,
and do not agree with the proposals of the
prospectus. The reason foi this is BRIEF
Instead Of the 600 advance paying subscri-
bers, which was the condition upon which
she size and continuance of the paper Was
made to depend, the increase Of our list does
not exceed 100, not one fourth of whom
have paid in advance. The general and un-
expected apathy in regard TO the contnu
ance of our paper here, has led US to re- com
mence its issue in the present diminutive
size and shape, intending to improve its
character and dimensions just as fast as its
patronage will justify, and no faster. ANY
subscriber who does not wish to receive and
pay for it for the year to come as it appears
to-day, will please to return it to the office,
with his name on it, and it will BE- stopped
at once. The paper will generally contain
at least five pages Of reading matter each
week, making 26o pages per year, besides ad-
ver.ising If this is not worth 81 year,
20 each subscriber, why he should BY all
means stop taking it without delay. III
would be wrong and wicked to allow your
selves to be cheated by the printer in such
large matter. Country printers are pro
verbal for gouging the public and getting
rich. The way to stop it is, TO not touch
their filthy little sheets, but save all your
dimes for tobacco, cigars and beer. A dol
lar spent for these, or four or five dollars
spent at dance, will do you some good
but dollar-yes, whole dollar-spent for
little country newspaper, when you can
get large city paper for the same, is
species of swindling not to be endured -
Send the paper back and let the poor devil
of printer hunt some other locality for his
uncalled for labors.

y1g~ The late election for members of the
territorial legislature in Kansas, end the pro.
ceedings Of the Mssourans to force slavery
into that territory, have shown some of the
lawless and extraordinary means resorted to
by the slavery propaganda to carry their
point in the face of public opinion. A few
weeks ago the census of Kansas was taken
Tor election purposes, and there were found
to be 2,9O5 legal voters. AT the election on
the 3Oth of March there were polled 596l
votes, thus showing that at least 3,056 ilie.
Igal votes were pollcd. But there were far
more, for the Missourans appeared in force
at almost all the election precincts, armed
with rcvolverS, bowie knives and guns and
torcib!y took possession Of the polls driving
off the legal voters and electing in their own
way whomsoever they pleased And Reed.
9r, the governor, has been plant enough un.
der threats and the most insulting menaces.
10 issue certificates Of election to largo
majority of the candidates thus chosen. In
a few cases, where these outrages were most
lagrant he has ordered new elections, and
has gone east meanwhile, so as to remain as
blind us possible TO repetition Of the sham
formalities and bravado of the occasion. He
will soon return and issue the rest of the
election certificates, when legislation will
CON mence, and slavery in Kansas will be at
once established by law, although three
fourths Of the actual settlers and legal voters
therein are beyond all doubt opposed to it.
eve should like 10 hear q short speech from
Mr.. Caruthers, OF Portageville, on this in
teresting subject just now, or few remarks
from almost any Of the leading anti slavery
upholders Of the Nebraska BILLY
The Parkville Industrial Luminary, pa.
per published at Parkville, Mo-, being sus.
pected Of entertaining liberal sentiments,
the press was taken and thrown into the
Missouri river, and the editors ordered to
leave ,he state in three weeks and not settle
in Kansas, all under pain of death. And
they have left. Methodist preachers, too, are
thought ODE dangerous characters, and ara
warned to keep away from that country un-
der a threat Of tar and feathers These are the
men and measures which the Nebraska bill
has introduced 10 the public.
