Consisteficv.

Down East there is Reverend Doctor, one
Nehemiah Adams, who has taken .ssouth-side
view OF slavery, and as might be supposed, it is
warm, sunny, and altogether pleasant aspect
IN which it has appeared to him. He has put his
conclusions in print to the end that the world ge-
morally may bask in the same genial rays pro-
ceeding from this source, that have warmed, Wv
flied and enlightened him. He concludes that
this man-selhng, whipping ,child-stealing,
soul-and- destroying institution is peculiarly
ordained of Providence and has an especial IL
cense to call upon Christians to rally to its vim
dication, defence, and support--and moreover,
thinks that to reopen the slave trade would so
speedily evangeize Africa as to throw all other
Missionary efforts into spasms of surprise and
end them at once. We are not aware that any
person is disposed to quarrel with the idiosync-
racies of the Rev. Nehemiah, or that any person
apprehends any particular danger from the pro-
mitigation of his dabolical sentiments; but some
people do think that other Reverend gentlemen,
who have filed the world with their declarations
against the institution as the sum of all vllai-
mics, arc rather Inconsistent in extending to this
Reverend individual the right hand of Christian
fellowship, and appointing HIM to prominent pla-
ccs in Church associations, and making him in
fact, sort of a mouth-piece through which the
stream of religion was turned upon the world, as
was the case in the late New England anniversa-
rics. For what is such an endorsement on the
part of these gentlemen, but proclamation that
man may be in the practice of the I" sum of all
yillainies," without in any-wise imparing his
Christian character. The world is not much gil
ven to abstruse speculations, to the making OF
very nice distinctions, the splitting of hairs on
any subject, and when they are convinced that
certain things involve the :" sum of all villain
les" and those who practice these villain;es
are made the exemplars and teachers of religion,
it is exceedingly apt to multiply infdels among
them. Hearts and consciences will necessarily
make men iufdel to religion which can be ex-
empficd in that way. If Lyman Beccher and
other anti-slavcry divines who we have in our
eye in this matter, could be reached by voice,
we would advise them to give up DIR. Adams or
their anti-slavery christianity, for the two can
not be made to harmonic.

2 Judge Miller, it will be seen has finally
worried through a verdict against Booth for$ 1000
the claimed price of the alleged slave, Glover.
The influences and circumstances under which
this administration triumph was achieved, will
be noticed by the article from the Madison Jour
nal, in another column. Slavery is despotsm
and only by despotic measures can it achieve its
triumphs. Miller was obliged to so organize his
court that it would express his own will and wish
before he could get verdict, which he did not
hesitate to do and to which alone he is indebted for
success. Judges are supposed to be impartial
administrators of the laws, without prejudice or
hosti lily. Jeffrey ard Miller, however, are
marked exceptions to this rule. Miserable tools
of most diabolical power, without sense or hui
mainly, they use their power as does the blood
hound, to run down the victim on whose track
they have been placed without particle of re-
gard to his innocence or guilt. In his hidden
wisdom Providence has planted weeds on the
earth Which dstl poison, has flung reptiles in
our path whose sting is death, and in the forest
has hidden the ravenous beast, whose delight is
to rend the limbs of men. Shall we doubt then
that there is purpose in the creation of such
things as Miller. In his position he carries to a
high place all the meannesses of humanity, that
the dulest may sec and appreciate their ugliness
and avoid them.
The Supreme Court of this state we believe
stands between this verdict and ultimate udg-
ment, so that probably the triumph will prove a
barren one.

Indigenous to Kansas.

Wild onions, potatoes, artichokes, hops,
NORWOOD, and a species OF bean, and va
rious Towering shrubs cultivated with great
care in eastern gardens, appear to be indig-
cnous to the soil OF Kansas, and grow in
great profu~ion. The potatoes are of small
size, but by proper culture the tubers would
no doubt equal those already grown by
agriculturis!s. 1t is well known TO the in
tellgent reader that this esculent is a ma
tive of America, and was first introduced
into England by Sir Walter Raleigh, during
the latter part Of The 10Th century. We
have no doubt but those of Kansas, with
proper attention, would soon equalthe orig
inal production. and probably escape the
disease which has become common to the
present variety, by long cultivation. The
experiment is worth trial. The artichoke,
hops, and NORWOOD, could not be dis
;inguished from those productions of the
east. The former has tuber which is
much relished by many persons, and is
cultivated in some localities for the fatten.

WHAT Vessel WAS rive noticed on
Saturday morning the fact that two horse;
had been picked up in the lake on Friday
morning, some two or three miles from
land. We were informed on Saturday by
a gentleman living near the lake that he
was called up during Thursday night to
look at what appeared to be vessel burn
ing in the lake, at some distance from land
and gradually foatingnorthward, the fame
being very distinct. Whether or not some
vessel has taken fire and after burning to
the wal er's edge gone down, remains to be
learned. If such was the case it is proba
bic that the crew were picked up by some
ether vessel which went on her course, and
it is also probable that the two horses men.

~ A friend suggests that we much overate
Barstow's strength as candidate for Governor.
Perhaps So We do not think he can be elected,
although we conceive that not impossible, but
we do think he will prove the strongest candidate
which that side can nominate. 1t is very likely
his nomination will be bolted by many of his par
ty, and it is possible third candidate may be
nominated but nevertheless he has interests we'd
dcd to him which cannot be diverted sufficient to
make him a very strong, if not successful candi-
date Suppose, however, he is beaten in convcn-
ton, and some one else nominated in his stead.
All the influences which can by any possibility
give strength or promise success to the party will
be weakened by such nomination, for of very ne
cessty it will be some negative, uncertain, doubt
full man who will succeed him and inspire no
confidence, and impart zeal on any hand
Add to this the certain fact, that Barstow and his
friends would infinitely rather see any such cam
didate defeated than successful, and we would
not give fig tor his chance of success. We are
confident in opinion that Barstow is the strong
est man which that side can nominate, although
the more we think of it, the more we are inclined
to think his chance of success exceedingly slim.

Foreign News.

Our foreign news of this week is Important
The accounts are meager and indefinite, yet the
fact that the allies have met with reverse is
scarcely to be questioned. The arrival previous
to this last, it will be recollected, brought the
news of important successes on the part of the
allies, and the public no doubt anticipated the
next news must be the capture of Sebastopol.-
This however puts matters back where they were
before the late success of the allies and puts off
the capture of the place indefinitely. Indeed, it
looks worse than ever before for the Allies
Much was calculated on from the change of COM
mander over the French. Pilesser was to in
augurate the ''go-ahead'' policy in contradistinc-
ton to the cautious movements of Canrobert, and
the successes of the allies hailed as the first
fruits of that policy which was sure to bring spec
dy and complete triumph What is to be done
now7 These repulses it appears were encoun-
tered in the final assault upon the city, and the
French under their new commander with the new
policy, find themselves just where they left of
with the old commander and old policy What
new move is to be made! Looking at the mat
ter from very general point of view, we
have from the first failed to see any grounds fol
supposing the allies would triumph over the
Russians. We know little of the details on eli,
Their side, and may be mistaken, but it has look
ed to us from the start as if the elements of
cess were not with the Allies.

We think we discover a very large cat con-

especial pains to make prominent Mr.. Barry 5
Temperance sentiments 1t would be very
natural inference, considering Gov. Barstow's
relations to the liquor influence of the State, that
the Democrat, as well as other Barstow presses,
would conceive it policy to conceal rather than
avow, the temperance predictions of this ap-
pointee of the Governor, But the Democrat has
its end and this article VIC are very confident is
the result of consultation" and is only carry
ing out the purpose of Barry's appointment
At the last election, while advocating the cause
of temperance throughout the State, Barry also
appeared as the especial champion of Barstow
with the temperance men, he declaring Barstow
would sanction prohibitory law if demanded by
the vote of the people, and enacted by the Leg
islaturc This game is to be played again. Mr..
Barry is to preach temperance again, and pro-
claim Gov. Barstow as the friend of a conSttu-
tional law. The law passed by the late legisla-
ture is to be denounced as unconstitutional, and
vetoed for that reason, and Gov Barstow is to
be held up the especial friend of constitutions
al law, ard anxious to approve such an one. 1t
will be found that Gov. Barstow's appointment
of a temperance man is not without its purpose;
and this especial effort of his papers to impress
Barry's temperance sentiments on the mind of
the people, is TO prepare them to listen to his
recommendation of Gov. Barstow as a temper
ance candidate for Governor.
