.Rellish." !"

Under the above caption the Gaiesburg,
ILL.,, Democrat. thus speaks of the act
of the Barons lately in session on the
borders of Missouri. entitled ..An act to
punish ofenses against slave property. .
Il is but the unanimous feeling of the
great northern heart after reading that
enactment worthy the prince of Pande-
moniun. Speaking of the caption at
the outset, the Democrat says -
The above is harsh-almost an ir1pi-
Gus caption, but if the act does not de-
serve it, then we confess that we do not
know how to head an article. Ii the
freemen of the North submit to this with
outa murmur-if this does not arouse
them to action against the slave power,
then they deserve TO be slaves. If this
does not stir the freemen of Kansas up to
civil war, then they deserve to wear the
chains that the representatives of the
Missouri mob have forged for them
From the Federal Government we can
expect nothing. while the cet-throat crew
of Atchinson and Stringfehow can COM
mand and the Government obeys with
alscrity. The present Administration is
tie meanest despotism that ever disgrac-
ed the face of the earth, and its Govern
ors and Judges will make law, as far as
their sanction goes, of such damnable
acts as this. The life of free white
man is thus made cheaper than the SER
vices of negro slave! And to say that
slavery is not right-to say thatmen have
no right to hold slaves, is made a crimi-
nal otfense, punishable with two years
Imprisonment at hard labor 1t makes
our blood boil to read such things. We
shall rejoice when the first gun is fred in
civil war in Kansas. Outraged, robbed,
insulted, condemned to death for follow
ing the dictates of humanity imprison-
ed for uttering manly words of truth,
and all to please the slave power! Great
God Why is language so powerless
Why cannot we find words to express the
thoughts and feelings that throng our
heart and brain at such time as this
They pass the act, but they refuse to pub
iish it-they condemn men to death and
imprisonment for certain acts and words.
but refuse to make known in legal way
what those acts and words are. The act
elected some debate, but passed almost
unanimously.

Amen.

The intrepid B. F. WADE, U. S. Sena-
tor from Ohio, at the Republican State
Convention in Maine, in speech there,
said that he spoke to an Ohio audience
some time since, and advocated the delay
of the appropriation bill, to starve the adj
ministration into yielding the restriction
of the Missouri Compromise, when a
person asked what he would do if the
Southern members should put on their
hats and leave the hail. He replied that
he woulI set the dogs on them, aud all
the people cried amen. {Applause. y
He had come to the conclusion that the
same spirit actuated the republican party
of Maine.

Some difficulties have existed in re-

they are now settled, and that the cars
have commenced making regular trips
from St Louis East. Passengers from
from the east coming to Kansas by rail-
road, should inform themselves in regard
to the advantages of this road, which is
direct from St Louis to Indianapolis,

The hop-vine grows spontaneously in

We were not expecting rain at this season
