PRESIDENTIAL REJOICING OVER THE OUTRAGE IN
KANsAs.-The Washington correspondent of The
Missouri Republican writes as follows, under date
of April IL:
Had the new Territories been left to abide
their time, without any attempt to force or foster
upon them n population to effect sectional pur.
poses, the impression here is, they would eventu-
ally have become free territory. As it is, however.
the seal of slavery is fixed upon Kansas, and the
Nebraska portion of the Administration is in high
glee at the result. Quite a rejoicing came off at
the White-liouse on the day the news reached US,
and the toast, the song and the wine, were the
order of the evening. You know that our worthy
Chief Magistrate, "once on a time" was fond Of
a glass of good brandy and water, as many other
gentlemen are. don't say that he ever induI,
ges nowadays, but ! do know that he frequently
visits the Nights of Georgetown for his health, and
the day succeeding the festivities incident upon the
result of the Kansas election, It heoame necessary
for him to pay another visit" :

BOYS IN THE NAvY.-The Secretary of the Navy
has issued a series of regulations designed to en-
courage the enlistment of boys in the U. S. Navy
None will be taken less than fourteen or more than
eighteen years of age. They are to be divided
into three classes and receive 8, 9 and 10 dollars
per month respectively, with money instead of
spirit r%ations, and will be promoted according to
their improvement and good behavior.

SOMEWHAT cooL.-The interior of Kentucky
seems not to sympathise very earnestly with the
patriotic indignation of Louisville, against Ohio.
The Cincinnati Gazette, says:
The Kentucky papers which come to our Office,
published ontside of Louisville, hardly notice the
great Jeffersontown demonstration. The Rev. Mr..
Dennison does not appear to command their sym
pathy.

The SQUATTER SOVEREIGN of Kansas is exercis.
ing itself in endeavors to intimidate the friends of
freedom in that territory. 1t even threatens assas-
%sination of the Governor, as in the following para
graphs. They show the spirit which actuates slave
holders and slave propagandists:
We would not like to see the Governor dangling
in the air by the neck-hew will soon be dead, dead,
dead, without ~that-merely because we consider
him a fair specimen of + stern chivalry, and q very
fair sample Of a Freesoiler; but if he is an uboli-
Zionist at heart and in action, and would abet in
running of darkies into Canada, it might be well
enough to place the moose around his neck, by way
of experiment, if it were only to hear him cough
and see him make pretty faces.
Pierce looks upon Kansas as a political slaught-
err Pen, and free.soil candidates for Office of long
standing, are assigned the Goyernorship of this
territory. with the understanding that the Admin.
~istration is not responsible for life or limb. If the
feeling against the Governor is not soon lulled, the
storm will raise to such "A pitch. that a oqcancy in
the Gubernatorial chair of Kansas wiz be the re.
suit.

ST.. LOUIS, April 81.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN STAPLE Southern COM
merce is looking up. Southern braggarts have
something new to crow over. Thanks to Southern
conventions or some other cause, the south is sup
plying the north with peanuts. The Norfolk Her
aid says, that during the last year, $50, 900 dollars
worth of peanuts have been shipped to the north
by a single house of that city. Southern chivalry
is certainly turning itself to some good account
We are most happy to record the fact.

SCHOOLS FOR CoLoRED CHILDREN IN CIScIyNATI
The colored people of Cincinnati have their
separate schools, ana their own Board Of Educa-
ton. The Gazette says of this Board:
THE present Board of Trustees for Colored
Schools is an efficient one, in fact, the appoint
ment of efficient teachers, and the rapid improve
ment of the pupils in their studies, fully attest
this fact"
They are now taking measures to erect q new
and commodious school-house in their eastern dis
tlict. Nicholas Longworth has offered them a lot
on most favorable terms.

WILLIAM WELLS BROWN.

Mr.. Brown has been lecturing in various places
in the South Western part of the State, since he
left this region. We give an extract from q letter
from him published in the last Standard. lie
says;
A large meeting welcomed me to New Richmond
from which place | visited Laurel, Filicity and
Bethel. You will remember that the latter town
was the birthplace and residence Of Thomas Nor
ris, who first " bearded the lion in his den " ut
Washington, in his reply to Henry Clay. Mr..
Morris, lies buried in a sweet sput about II quarter
of q mile from the town, where II beautiful monu-
ment, with a fitting inscription, points out his
grave, and where like watchful sentinels, the lofty
trees stand around.
have just had the pleasure of shaking the hand
Of another passenger by the Underground Rail
road. lie was n young man of fine appearance,
and had with him an only child Of eight months.
The poor mans wife had been given to her young
mistress, who was just married, and the young
lady wanting the waiting-maid without the "incum-
brance," as they say in Britain. the child and dis
consulate husband were left behind and the in
jured man WAS told to select another wife. How
ever, he thought the surest way to guard against
such another outrage, was to escape. But the de-
termination not to leave his child behind, shows a
degree Of attachment that cannot be surpassed by
the most refined and educated whites His trem-
bling voice, and eyes filled with the deepest emo
ton, while he related the story of his wrongs, was
an index to a .icart filled with the kcenest grief
We cannot conceive of deeper. deadlier wrongs
than these. There is but little doubt that this poor
fugitive, ere this, is safe on the other side of Jur-
dan. The anti-slavery feeling here, so near the
slave territory. seems to be more favourable to
Free Soil than Free Men. From the window where
| am seated, see the slave toiling on the Kentucky
side of Mason and Dixon's Line. Nature could
scarcely throw together more picturesque scenery
than that which surrounds Brandon, the home of
the Donaldsons, from which this is written. Stu
ated in this lovely valley, with the murmuring
Ohio running at the foot of the garden, l see the
RATS and at-bottomed boats floating down the
river, with the children playing and boosters"
Growing on the tops. From present appearance,
the coming Convention ut Cincinnati, on the 25th.
Goth and 9th of this month, will ue well attended.
The late slave-case has. no doubt. created n feeling
in the Queen City of the West that will give add
tional interest to the cause at the approaching
meeting. Yours very truly, W. W. b.

TIE AURoRA.-Our friend Frost is going on with
his paper in its enlarged form. lie says, "the
prospects of its enlarged circulation are quite en-
couraging--iar more than could have been expect
ed these hard times. John Frost stood a lone poll
tician at the last election, cursed by all parties,
but especially by free sellers, but he acted with
fearless fidelity to the slave, and while he obtained
thus the appr baton of a good conscience, he has
won also the confidence of honest men and their
increased support of his paper is their substantial
testimony to the fact.
