THEs EYES.
All Diseases of the Eye Cured with unfaii-
ing Certainty.

DIR. w. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
DR. W. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
~ ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may lie afflicted: and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. Dr. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill Of all others without relief
not to despair Of a cure without giving him a
trial, for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope

bogus Legislature will be rejected, and,
without Congressional sanction, they are
not valil-and the contest will then be on
accepting the Constitution presented BY
the Free State Convention it may pass ths
House, but not the Senate. But the effect
will be as disastrous to Missouri and the
South Kansas will be left to anarchy.
The slavery that is there will flee from it
and perhaps even the slave property Of
Western Missouri give way under the pa
nic, and seek safety in the cotton fields
and sugar plantations Of Texas.
1t has been the common opinion with
thoughtless persons and thick headed bull
lies at the West, that the Northern and
Eastern men will no. fight Never was
4 greater mistake The sons Of New Eng
land and of the Middle States do not like
to fight. They would rather work, plough,
build towns, railroads, make money and
raise families, than fight. But fight they
will, if need be. Remember, the sons Of
New England shed the first blood in tho
American Revolution, aud they were the
last to furl their flags in that terrible
struggle. They have never disgraced their
country by cowardice, and they will not.
They are Americans, with spirit, courage,
endurauce,an deep love of liberty,to ami
mate them. The free State men in Kan
sas will fight before they will be disfran-
ehised and trampled on. Mark the word.
Here comes, then, the suicide of slave
ry. The ouirages committed by Atchison
and his fellows in the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and by Stringfellow
and his followers in subjugating Kansas to
nonresident rule, will bring on collision
first in Con gress and dtea IN Kansas-and
who shall tell the end!

Of slavery, and it will perish while you
defend it. Shareholders will not stay to
meet the fight. Property is timid, and
the slaves will be sent to Texas, to be in .
"safe place" while the fight lasts; and al
soon as the slaves are gone it will be found
that Missouri has nothing to f. ght about,
and the fight will end ''before it begins"
Thus the slavery propagandists who re-
pealed the Missouri Compromise to make
Kansas slave State, viii make Missouri
free and in endcavoring to expel Aboli-
tionism from Kansas, they will find both
Kansas and Missouri with an entire free
white population-worth more to the two
States than all the negroes in America.
Is not the Kansas outrage the suicide Of
slavery? Have not the people of NIissou-
ri, interested in the preservation Of slavery
in the State, brought themselves into q
desperate predicameut by following the
insane counsels Of AtcLisOn and String

and anon it breaks in startling, crashing

The Bitter Fruits-The Suicide Of
Slavery.


Our news from Western Missouri is of
ominous and most discouragins character.
That region is suffering from mildew and
blight. Its glory is dimmed, its spirits
abated, and its hopes fading.
The emigration to Kansas has been al
most entirely checked. Emigrants from
the Northern or Free States have ceased
to 60 to Kansas, because they can find as
good lands elsewhere, not cursed by mob
law, nor ruled by nonresident bullies
Emigrants from the Southern States do
not go to Kansas, because they will not
put their slave property in peril, by taking
it to the territory where there is a strong
free soil element, threatening the security
of slaves.
Any man of sense nigh. have forcsccn
the result. Alabama and Georgia may
hold public meetings, and resolve to sus-
tain the shareholders in Missouri in max
ing Kansas Slave State. Blu. their re-
solutions comprise all their aii-which is
not "ma,erial' enough for the crisis.
When slave holders of Alabama and Ge-
orgia emigrate, they so to Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Texas. They do net come,
with their slaves, to Missouri or to Kan
sas. Call they that backing their friends .
Thus the matter stands. The northern
emicran.s shun Missouri and Kansas as
plague spots of the nation. The southern
cnligrants shun Missouri and Kansas, be-
cause here is the battle ground between
slavery and free soil.
The result is, Kansas, the fairost land
under the sun, is neglected aud idle; &C.
cupied by few honest and earnest but
disheartencd pioneers, and lordcd over by
dozen or two feudal tyrants Of Missouri,
who curse by their presence the land they
hare dosolatcd.
Such is Kansas-pcor, neglected and
dcspiscd--and Western Missouri stands
infected by the horrible contagion Of out
lawry, and drindles away under the mo-
raj leprosy of its mobocratic leaders. We
are assured By two gentlemen of high po-
sision in Western Missouri, but totally
differing in political scntirnent-one up
boiling the oligarchy that controls the al
fairs and tramples uron the peoples sover-
cignty in Kansas, the other deploring the
accursod madness Of thc day-that matters
are gloomy enough in Western Missouri.
Business is dull. Commerce is stagnant.
Money is exceedingly scarce, and panic
pervades the people. The fifty thousand
emigrants that ought, this season, to have
poured over into Kansas, are not there.
The prairie sod remains unbrokcn. The
sound of the axe, and the vhoop of the
busbandman is not heard. Western Mis-
souri, towns are not throngcd with settlers
buving their outfits and equipments of
husbandry The farmers Gud no market
for their horses, mules, oxen and cows
There Is no new and large trade springins

A new Dodge +.

1t will be remembered that the people
of Middleburg, after trying, and having
time given them, refused to make pledge
for Suitable grounds and buildings for
County purposes" up to the spirit and in
tent of section Sd Ct the Division actwhich
requires that they shall be secured "with-
out any cost or tax whatever being impos-
ed upon the :axables of said county for
such expenditures" To secure this con-
dition, "at least 100000 were to be
pledged before the 1st Of May. The sum
of slO,0 600 only being secured, Judge Mar
shall refused to accept the bond as cover
ing the requirements ofthc Sd section,a and
the eligibility of Middlcburg is 50 far de-
fcicnt.
Nobody supposes "suitable grounds and
buildings" as described can be secured for
$4,000.
To remedy this defect, which they find
10 be working against them, the Middle
burgers have recently published another
Bond, in the sum of $4,000, similar in
its form, we suppose, to those Of Frccburg
and Selinsgrove. But, the lst of May
having long since passed, it is not and can
not be passed upon and approved by the
Judges, and is no aid to the legal cligibi-
lity of Middlcburg. 1t is not secured in
the hands of Judges, and if Miidlcburg
were chosen, it is very doubtful whether
the new bond-if it could even be found
could be enforced by law. The Bonds
Of Selinsgrovc and Frceburg, for $4,000
each, are legal, perfect, and complete,
without doubt; and they have therein a
decided advantage over Middlelurg.
