BORLAND AND SOULE.

The redoutable Soule who resigned his post
as Minister to Spain because he was not backed
by the Cabinet, in the instructions they had
given him in reference to the purchase Of Cuba,
under threat of forcible seizure, has, it is said,
suddenly appeared at Washington, to call to ac-
count Secretary Marcy and President Pierce,
who are not a little annoyed at his presence, and
not little at loss how to meet his charges of
bad backing, or what to do with him.
The Cabinet, who started on a career of fill
clustering, and, frightened by their own dough-
faces intensely reflected by the recent elections,
meanly backed out, have virtually recalled their
ftly-obosen instruments, and the question has
been and is, what to do with them so as to keep
them from doing mischief, especially to their old
employers. The fre-eater Borland, however,
has been sent back TO- Arkansas, to act with
Atchinssn & Co., to force Slavery into Kansas
80 he has been set to work for the same interest
but what can be done with Soule.
We once read u wild old legend, representing
that man, while once wandering about the
country, found an old book, in the preface Of
which it was stated, that any one who should
read one chapter would thereby raise one devil
If he read two chapters, he would raise two
devils, and so on through the book, but added q
caution to the reader that he must set the devils
so raised at work, or serious consequences to
himself might ensue. The man ventured on
the experiment read ,one chapter, andlone devil
came, and asked what he should go to doing.
/" Go to throwing stones over this mountain, !"
replied the man, pointing to q mountain at
hand He then read another chapter, and
raised another devel, who abo asked what he
should 90 to doing. go to the other side OF
the mountain, and as fast as that devil throw'
the stones over you throw them back again.
said the man, dropping the book, and resolving
to read no more chapters, lest he should raise
more devils than he could find work for.
Now, as Pierce and Marcy seem rather relent-
inc in their pro-slavery action these days; and
MS thew have set Borland to work throwing i'm
nedimcnts to Freedom into Kansas, we would
suggest that Soule be sent to throw them back
again This, we think, would be very good
way to prevent these worthless from doing mis-
chief to the public, or those who raised them,
but who like the man in the story, will not
probably, very soon venture on raising many
more like them

FORMING A COMPANY


TIE NORTH AND THE SoUTH.-A short time
since, the Howard Association of New Orleans
sent $4,000 to New York for the relief of the
poor, and the Journal Of Commerce acknowl-
edges the receipt of $3.50 from the citizens OF
the parish of St. Mary, Louisville, to be devot-
ed to the same purpose
This is returning good for evil. While the
abolitionists of the North are engaged in the
congenial employment of stealing slaves from
the citizens of the South, the latter are helping
TO feed The northern poor.
20 The Burlington Sentinel is wise and hon.
est enough to have said all that--all alone
W Ill not some generous soul make the Sentinel
present for its wisdom and honesty
No aboltionist of the North ever stole a
slave since God made the world--such is our sol
emn belief. To aid an oppressed man in obtain.
ing his freedom, is no more stealing than il
would be to save man from drowning, and
there is no man fit for lawyer or postmaster
who does not know it.
AS to the Wanted charity of the men-stealers
OF New Orleans and St. Mary, the money the,
SEND to New York has every shilling of it beer

KANSAS ELECTION of members of legislature
to form constitution was to have taken place
last week. Gov. Reeder has issued a proclama-
ton, prescribing the qualification of voters,
which, if needed, will exclude Missourians.-
But we presume it will not, and we have but
little hope that any other than pro slavery
legislature will be returned. If this should
prove to be the case, and acosstituton permitting
slavery be formed, then the great battle on the
question of admitting her as slave State mus
be fought in the next Congress

A New REPUBLIC.-It if stated with good
deal of confidence by letter writers from Califor-
mia, that there is secret plan on foot among the
political leaders of that State, to sever all the
territory west of the Rocky Mountains from the
United States and form it, with Southern Cali
forna, into an independent Republic. The OBJ
ject is, doubtless to establish there confedera-
CIV of slave States.

If the decision be to go, the Company will do

as it may from time to time be enabled to do
The principal advantages to be derived through

LIQUOR ROW IN PORTLAND. DE.
The Military called out blythe Mayor
-Ordersd TO fire INTO the CroIcd!
ONE MAN KILLED.

BosToN, June 4.
The Portland papers this morning con-
tain some additional particulars OF the
riot in that city on Saturday night ~
The commencement Of the disturbance,
il appears, was caused By the purchase
Of the liquor by Mayor Dow, and the
transfer Of the same TO the city egsncy
By his casting vote in the Board of Al.
derman, Saturday afternoon. The at
tack Oh the building was begun chiefly
by boys, throwing stones. Mayor Dow
then appeared, tlourishing sword with
Two military companies, which he had
ordered out. The appearance of the
military exaspersted the crowd, who re.
ceived them with groans aud Kisses
The Mayor ordered The military to fire,
which order Captain Green refused ~
obey, saying that the circumstances did
not call for such severe measures. The
rifle guard soon after approached When
the mob burst open the door Of the liq-
or room, a section oil the company, by
order oi The Mayor, fired, and one per.
sou was killed, and six or seven severely
wounded. A public meeting of citizens
was held this morning, and COMMITTEES

An independent and straight forward
nublic officer is sure to be the object Of
censure and malicious attacks by cer-
tain class of characters. No public Of
fcer in Ohio has received as much per,
sonal and uncalled for abuse as Mr.. Nor
gan. His position as Auditor oil State
throws him in contact with such varl-
ETY. of characters, that 1t would DC
strange il some would not affect to be
dissatisfied. As an officer, he is one OF
the most honest and efficient Ohio has
ever had. Asa citisen, his life is be-
yond reproach. 1t is true, he isa man
Of great decision of character. and on
this account some may not like him per-
sonally. Much complaint has been
made by our opponents about Mr.. Nor
gap's position or the tax law. If the
law is wrong, it is no fault of his. He
is only the instrument 20 carry out tho
spirit and letter Of the law. He makss
no law himself. neither does he put
construc tion on any pertaining to his
official position. The Attorney Gener.
al is elected partly for that purpose
1t is his business to explain to Stale
officers the meaning ofall laws nonnect-
ed with the official position. A State
officer places 40 final construction Oh
any law where there is a doubt. This

Judicial DecisiOn---The
Wing Party not Dead Yet.

Quite an interesting case came of
before Justice Young this morning.
1t seems that Tom Gilis brought suit
against some seven or eight very res.
pectable gentlemen of this city as the
slate Wing Central Committee" oil
this county for buggy hire, in the tall
campaigns OF 1853 and 1894. All oil
the defendants made default except one
Mr.. Smith Davison--who appeared
and filed a motion TO dismiss The suit
on the ground that the "Whig Party''
was the proper defendant, that said par
ty was dead and no administrator had
been appointed. But we will give the
principal reason adduced by the defend
ant, as set forth in the written motion:
"And said defendant further says
that the 'late Wing Central Committee
mentioned in said petition, was appoin-
ted by the iDts Wing party to represent
Its interests while said party was alive,
and recognized as living organization,
having habilation and name; and
that the said committee is not the ad-
minitrator or legal representative oGthe
said Wing party defunct: that the said
Wing party was, and had become pre-.
viouS to the filing of said petition, tc
all intents and purposes, deceased and
entirely deiunct: that short time pre-.
vious TO the iall election in the year OIL
our Lord, 1854, it 'went under,' and
since then has had no tangible existence;
that there has been no administrator
appointed 10 settle the affairs of said de.
ceased party, but in the event Of the
appointment Of such administrator, this
defendant will feel it his duty to advise
the payment of said bill if duly pre-
sented, provided always that the pro.
perty and effects of said deceased party
consisting chiefly of old lumber used
IN building platforms) can be disposed
of at lair price. The defendant iur-
.her states that he is informed upon re-
liable authority that the said party diec

The case was argued at length BY
t. B. Tilton, Esq, Tor the plaintiff,
and by Mr.. DAWSON in his own behalf
Both gentlemen, we are informed, &C.
quilted themselves handsomely, and al
forded great amusement to the audience
in attendance.
The Court held that the 'Whig Par.
ty' was not dead-or at less. that the
evidence offered was insufficient Ia

The Outrage In Kansas.

by Degrees.

The Know Noihings have three de,
grees. The first composes the rank
and file, who do the voting and dirty
work generally; the second takes por-
ton OF the honors, and is obeyed by
the first degree, and itself honors and
obeys the third degree; while the third
degree dictates all orders 10 the first and
seco nd, and receives all the honors and
offices, forming the aristocracy Of the
Order. 1t is low proposed by some
that the Republican party shall take a
position below all these degrees, and
carry the whole upon its back. The
request is a very modest one certainly
that the Republicans shall constitute
