WHAr THE RUSSIANS THINK.-The
official organ at st. Pet rsburgh expresses
the opinion that the allies by their mac
tiyity and want ofenterprise, have allow
ed the opportunity to slip by when Seyas-
topol might have been taken 1t now
says that the city is impregnable; that it
can replace 100000 dismounted guns in
Que night, or can exchange $4,000 ia
tiaued troops against $4,000 fresh troops;
that the allies cannot with double the
force they can dispose of cut off the COM
muuication with Perekop; that the Rus
sian army, fighting for its country and its
sovereign is animated by a better spirit
than is the heterogeneous mass of French,
English, Turks, Egyptians, and sardin-
ians, contending for an abstract idea, and
a confused Interpretation of the duties of
civilization. There is some force in these
remarks, and the allies themselves, appear
to be impressed with the same idea, for
the preparation of defences they are max
ing at Kamiesch look very like protec-
ton in the event Of being compelled to re-
embark.

greatly; bat now and then his hand trembled,

tiguing even little exertion was but he
talked pleasantly to Harry, explaining the
why and the wherefore of everything he did,

Model Legislation.

The following preamble and resolution
went through all the forms of Legislation
at the recent session of the Bogus Legis-
lature, and is as binding upon the people
as any enactment emenating from that
body.
.'Whereas, the signs of the times IN
dictate that measure is now on foot,
fraught with more danger to the interest
of the pro-slavery party and the Union,
than any which has yet been agitated, to-
wit: The proposition to organize a Ma
tional Democratic party: and, whereas,
some of our friends have been misled by
it: and. whereas, the result will be to
divide pro-slavery wings and democrats,
thus weakening our party one half: and,
whereas, we believe that on the success OF
our party depends the perpetuity of the
Union; therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, the Council concurring there
in, Thatit is the duty of the pro-slayery
party, the Union loving men of Kansas
Territory, to know but one issue, slavery
and that any party making, or attempt
ing to make, any other, Is. or should be
held as an ally of abolitionism aad dis
unioH."

Kansas for ourselves and our families
We are politically divided, some Wings
and some Democrats. We are not pollt-
ical abolitionists or under ground rail-
road agents. As freemen we vote as our
judgment dictates. ! do not. nor does
any members Of our Company, enquire
for whom or for what does man vote
! look upon the elective franchise as sa-
cred, and not to be interfered with by
any man, or set of men. So far as my
own sentiments are concerned. l will vote
for making Kansas free State and viii
use all honorable means to accomplish
this; yet / win not quarrel with my
friends for differing in this and other
matters from me.
In justice to myself and associates. l
deem this communication entitled to an
insertion in your paper, and also in those
papers which published 0sborn's COM
munication. / trust you, as honorable
men. win comply with my request.
Believe me, Gentlemen, your obedient
servant, JOHN PiPHEf.

What the North Can Do.

The n. Y. Tribune thus answers the
Buffalo Republics interrogatOry, what
can. the North do to restore Kansas to its
true condition =
/. Dismiss from power and Danish
from their confidence all who aided to
break the Missouri Compact. and thus
open the door for the frauds and outrages
by which the Free Settlers of Kansas
have been so grossly wronged.
2. Brand with especial reprobation
those who counseled him who decreed
the removal of Gov. Reeder for trying
to protect the actual settlers of Kansas
from the most fragrant of those outrages.
3. Stiffen the backbone of their Rep
resentatives in the new Congress about
to assemble, SO that they will Indignantly
repudiate and brush aside the usurping
despotism imposed on the settlers of
Kansas by the Missouri mob, who, by
preconcerted and secret conspiracy, seiz-
ed and vitiated the polls last spring. and
who have thereupon pretended to legalize
slavery in Kansas, to make the express
sion of free opinions a felony, to fiji all
the offices of the Territory for six years
ensuing, and to enact election laws which
disfranchise the free settlers and confer
the right of suffrage on Missouri in
vaders.
4. Instruct the House of Representa-
tives to admit promptly the Delegate
from Kansas whom the free settlers will
elect in the second week of October in
stead of the pretender whom the Mis-
sourians will elect in the week proceed
ing.
5. Instruct their Representatives to
insert and retain in the Appropriation
bill which shall undertake to provide for
the support of Territorial Government
in Kansas clause to this effect: "Pro-
"vided, That no person In said Terri
story shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property except by due process of law
land that any act or portion of an act of
''any Legislature of said Territory pre-
"tending or purporting to establish slave
cry therein is hereby declared to be
"void."
6. Make it perfectly clear to all par
ties that such acts of recreancy to Free
dom and serrility to the slave power as
the repeal of the Missouri Restriction
and the removal of Gov. Reeder won't
pay-that whoever abets or attempts to
uphold them must make up his mind to
gain decided loss by them.
Such are part of the remedies which
We deem appropriate for the wrongs in-
fiicted on the free States in the recent
acts of the Federal Government and of
the Missouri borderers with regard to
Kansas.

New York Association.

The General Association of New York
Congregational met at Speneerport,
Aug. &c: L. A. Sawyer, Moderator
An elaborate Report on the relations
of benevolent societies to slavery was
read by Mr.. Thompson of the Indepen-
dent, and followed BY remarks by his as
soeiate, DIR. Bacon, of New Haven, who
said, among other things, that ''sheer
cowardice," nothing else, keeps them
1.-THE Tract Society from publishing on
slavery.
The subject of slavery was further
disposed of by the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolutions
Whereas, the encroachments of slave
ry for the last thirty years have been
such as greatly to embolden the enc
mics Of freedom, and prepare them for
any nefarious plot, and any violent mea-
sures for its execution
And, whereas, the recent unlawful
proceedings in Kansas on the part of
Missouri slaye-propagandis:s, are an
outrage upon our republican principles
never before known or possible in this
country:
And, whereas, it is alleged that other
pots are now forming, for making more
slave States by purchases from the Choc-
laws and other Indian tribes, and by a
contemplated eession of the Platte coun.
try from the State of Missouri TO the
Territory of Kansas;
And, whereas, Ministers of the Cos
pei in Missouri, who have refused to en-
ter into any completely with the system
of slavery, but have silently borne their
testimony against that system as a hin
drance to the Gospel, have been brought
into peril of their persons and their lives,
and been ANONYMOUSLY driven from the
State, and ministers in other States of
the South have for the same cause, been
threatened with the violence of a mob;
And, whereas, such measures strike a
blow at that freedom of religion, and
that security of the individual citizen,
which are guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton of the United States to all It's citi-
zens, in all the States and Territories of
the Union, and also contravenes the fun
damental rights and duties of the dis
ciples of Christ everywhere; therefore,
Resolved, That the General Associa-
ton of the State of New York deeply
deplore this state of things as tending to
subvert our free government, and to erect
in its stead despotism of the most
fearful kind-that of Slave Oliyarchy.
Resolved, That we call upon the cler-
gy, in the spirit of their ministerial faith
ers of the revolution, to preach upon
this subject, with view both to en-
tighten their people and to awaken a
proper interest and concern for our COM
mon country.
Resolved, That all the lovers of free
dom, and of the institutions spring
ing therefrom, be hereby urged in the
present crisis, to be wakeful to their
birthright blessing, and to be prepared
and prompt to resist the measures now
about to be perfected. for the final sub
lection to eternal slavery of an immense
Territory, once forever conseereted to
freedom.

And dry the falling tear.
iabored through the day, mother,
and strove to love the toll
That would, in time, harvest yield
On Kansas fertile soil.
But when, at days decline, mother,
Unto my cot came.
And rested on my lowiy bed
My weary aching frame,
How would my thoughts return, neither,
To Nettie love, and thee.
And ike an infant child, mother,
