KnnsaS and slavery.

There is no question, we believe, of the
fact that large majority of the residents
of Kansas this day are free State men, and
will unite in framing and submitting to Con-
gress free State constitution II oil out
siders would simply keep hands of, Kan
sas would easily and naturally grow into a
free State N. Y. Tribune. .
OF course she would. We have said so
from the first. It is pity the Tribune and
its friends could not have understood the pro-
priety of keeping hands off lopg ago. If the
Abolitionists had kept hands of, the Miss
ourians would probably have done the same
thing, and the destiny of the future State
would have been certainly determined some
time since, AS it is, we have ne doubt, as
the Tribune believes, majority of the res
idents of Kansas are free State men. lfso.
their voice will by and by be heard.
But after this confession by the Tribune,
on what score does it justify the formation oi
a Northern anti-slavery party! If Kansas
asks to come in as free State, where is
the Territory that will ask to come in as
slave State! No where. There is no such
Territory, organized runorganzed Slav-
cry, by the force of natural laws-the laws
of climate, soil and opulaton--will be re-
strcted to the States in which it now exists.
What more is wanted!
Nothing more is wanted by reasonable
men. Those who do want more are for dis
solution and Northern confederacy, or, more
likely, for anarchy, confusion and plunder.

A straight-out Wing State convention

Seventy five delegates were present, repre-.

Politics in the Pulpit.

The Christian fateHigencer, the organ of
the Dutch Reformed Church, has the fol-
lowing in u recent number:
During the canvass of last autumn in
New York State very many ministers
preached out ald out political sermons, COM
mending from the desk the nominees of the
whig party, How have they been rewarded
for their service then rendered! The Pro-
hibitory Law, which was good practical
issue last fall, is now discarded by the very
party who rode into power by its aid; and so
shameless is the perfGy of leading dema-
gogues hungry into office, that even Horace
Greely--loving his party more than temper
ance--opposed the introduction of any res
olution favoring prohibitation into the plat
form of the fusion party, at whose birth he
ofiiciated as chief accoucheur. The clergy
who have been wont to put their faith in
politicians, and help fill their sails with such
superfuous wind as they could spare, have
just received a lesson worthy Of some re.
fiection."

When Serving your apprenticeship you
will have time and opportunity to stock your
minds with useful Information. The only
way for young man to prepare iimsel sito
study during leisure hours. First lie in
dustrious in your busincss--be frugal, eco
nomical, never complain that yoti are
obliged to work; go to it with alacrty and
cheerfulness, and it will make you respected
by your employer; make it your business to
see and promote his interest; by taking care
of his, you learn to take care of your own.
Young men at the present day are too fond
of getting rid of work; they seek for easy
and lazy elnpoyments, and frequently turn
out miserable vagabonds. You must avoid
all wishes 10 live without labor, labor is bles

Cheap Bread.

We observe that the bread consumers of
several Eastern cities and villages are FORM
ing associations to secure to themselves the
blessings of cheap bread. Tothis end, some
five hundred of them, more or less, SUBJ
scribe and pay, say $40 or $40 each, and
appoint some capable, trustworthy person to
receive the money and with it visit New
York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo,
Chicago, or such other points as he may
judge most advantageous for the purchase
OF flour. He goes and buys accordingly to
such extent as the funds will warrant, pays
transportation and all expenses, delivers to
each $40 subscriber one, to each 500 sub
scriber, two barreles of good flour, then sells
the balance of his stock 10 the best ,dtaI-

stockholders. BY this course it is calculat-

The anti liquor fanatics and madmen who
setup business in Maine, have surrendered
in Maine. The fusion republican negro
worshippers who started in Syracuse-the
very centre of the abolitionists-a city de-
voted TO all manner of crazy freesoil iniqui-

Seward platform. At convention of their
order for the county of Onondaga, held last
week at Syracuse, their chairman, on taking
his seat, said that he was utterly opposed to
the restoration of the Missouri Com promise.

The leading object for which the fusion
party labor, is spoils. Made up, as that par
tyis Of discordant mass Of asprants, each
anxious to be advanced in political station,
and each being able to command, comPari-
lively, but little influence, union of these
varied elements became necessary to give
any one individual hope even of political
preferment. The fusion must necessarily be
among themselves, as democracy spurned
such an object On this one thing only
they all agreed. They were all after the
spoils. Is not this SO! What ealObiect
have they presented, which would be worthy,
to a high principled man, the sacriff es he

Our readers will readily see what has be-
came of the darling objects of Wings, Free

ty men &c. The principles that each of a II
these parties heretofore held most sacred
have been entirely neglected, and the ques-
ton of exrediency only as to the course to
win the spells, has been pursued.
TO this end, false reports have been cir
culated in Ohio as to taxes, expenditure o
public funds, high salaries, the actor
of government officers, the principles ftht
X Ms &c &c, and even now, when thu
proof of their falsehoods is set before the m

were induced to join the fusion under certain
pledges, relying upon those promises they
neglected to aominate a separate ticket

satisfied, would not have time to organize,
after their motives were made apparent

KANsAs.-The National Intelligeneer,
which opposed the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, takes decided ground against
its restoration The same Is true of many
other Iapers and men. There is now but
the little probability that vote to restore
the Missouri Compromise can be obtained,
even in the House. OF the New York del

ciassed among the friends Of the Nebraska
Law. But we understand that about IL Of
the delegation will oppose the disturbance
Of It, now it has been adopted as the policy
of the country, The South will sustain it
en- maSse. The few southern members who
voted against il, and have been reelected,
will vote against repeal.
The conflict in congress will not turn
upon the question Of repeating the Nebraska
Law or any part of 1t, but Of enforcing it ac-
cordiRg to its true intent and meaning. And
it will be brought on by the presence OF
General Whitfield and Ex-Governor Rec
der, each claiming to be the Delegate elect
from Kansas. The House of Representa-
tives will be compelled to decide which ol
the two is entitled to the seat; and in SO
doing, will decide whether the body lately
claiming to be the Legislature of Kansas
were such in fact. lfthey were, then their

Delegate to Congress, was the day, ant
Whitfield is elected; no other candidate
having at that time received fifty votes for

the other hand, they were spurious body
having no legal existence, then all thei
Acts are nullty, and a new Legislature
will have to be convened. The election OF
the 9th instant, at the bidding Of voluntee
Convention and which resulted in the choice
of Gov. Reeder, is only valid on the suppo
sition that the Legislature had no legal ex
istence. The contested seat, Therefore, will

triumphs constantly going forward inthis
country. A contemporary says:
"We have lately, as a specimen of rare
mechanical genius, machine, costing net
over one hundred dollars. invented BY d
working man, which takes holdaota sheet
of brass, copper, or iron, and turns off COM
,plete hinges at the rate of a gross in ten min

any other process; also machine that takes
hold of an iron rod and whips itsinto per-
feet bitspointed screws with wonderful RAJ

both 6f these machines are superior to any

them"
