Each one had pondered
" Forward, the starved brigade!

Forward the starved brigade
No IL n bit afraid
No one, although he knew
The notice was Numbered ;
Theirs not a word to say.
Theirs not to disobey,
Theirs but a hungry day
Into the valley of soup
Rushed full six hundred.
Hunger to right of them,
Hunger to left of them,
Hunger in front Of them,
All shame had sundered;
Stormy with hunger fell,
Onward they rushed pell-mclI,
Into the dollhouse there,
Into which, hungry MS -,
Rushed full six hundred.
Flashed all their kettles bare,
Flashed all ut once in air,
Startling the walters there.
Charging an army, while
The police wondered;
Plunged in the savory smoke,
Each giving each a poke,
Till they the crockery broke
Then they fell back, did
All the six hundred.
Police to right of them,
Police to left of them,
Police behind them,
Police in front of them
Gnnmbled and t%hundered;
Crowded at, for rushing So.
Women, men pushing so;
After they strove so well,
And, from the Toulouse there.
Came, no more starved as
All that was left of them,
Fully six hundred.
When will the soup be gomez
Oh, the wild charge that morn!
At which folks wondered.
Good was the soup they made,
Cheering the starved brigade,

Yes: we met him on Main street few
days since, and we knew it was he The mo-
rnent we laid eyes on him. He is a noble
independent, manly looking fellow. Patri-
oism and love Of country are stamped upon
every l:ae2mcn. Of his face, and Jealous
rcggrd for the interests of his native soil
was evinced in every movement-indeed,
we may say he Is shorp-Sighted gentleman
and can .ell bogus from a simon-pure ar
ticle almost at a glance. He is thorough
republican, and loves to grasp the hard hand
of honest toll and industry and call him
brother. lie recognizes all the sons Of A
metica as equals in the honors, offices, glory
and elnoluments of our country-and if,
perchance. lie meets with son Of sthe En-
erald Isle, Ia belle France, the Fatherl |,
or what country else. he is ready to throw
around him the protective mgis Of our laws
and institutions, as long as he is content with
our constitutional protecion-but when ar
mics are TO be led-our constitution and laws
are TO be administered and rulers 10 be cho-
sen, he insists upon it that native born sons
of America shall command, eNpound and
administer our constitution and laws, and

TREATY WITH INDIANs.--The Washing
ton Union publishes the text of the treaty
recently made between the United States
and the Wyondottt Indians, whereby the
latter are ''deemed and declared TO be citi-
zens of the United States, to all ntents and
purposes, and entitled TO all the rights
privileges, and immunities of such citizens,
subject TO the laws of the United States and
of the Territory of Kansas, in the same
manner as other citizens of said Territory;
and the jurisdiction of the United States
and of said Territory shall be extended over
the Wyandott country in the same manner
as over other parts of said Territory"
The treaty was ratified on the lst Of
March last, but it provides for brie? delay
in carrying il into effect.

Gov. Reeder.- Praise from the Official
Orpan

From the Washington Union.
Gov. RErDER.--This gentleman is now
in Washington, aoi io. lie purpose, SO gem
orally attributed 10 him OF inrok1ng The ac-
lion ofRe General Government in regard %
The administration ofhiS dWjeS as Gornror
Of KdnSds, but, simply preparatory TO his
return in a week or two with his family TO
the Territory which he proposes TO make
his future home. Il is satisfactory 10 oh.
serve the contrast between his quiet and
manly department and the violent express
sions uniustly charged 10 him by his enemies.
Not for single moment has he been diver
ted from the plain, straitforward path of
duty. Refusing all participation with eth
er extreme in the late disturbances in the
Territory, and planting himself upon the
conceded principles of the Kansas and Ne
braSka bill. he has steadily maintained the
attitude which might be expected from a
man who for thirty years has been leading
and consistent member of the Democratic
partv-the party of the Constitution. A
Northern citizen, Pennsylvanian after the
school Of Buchanan and Dallas, he has,
throughout his political career, opposed the
Wilmot Proviso, sustained the Fugitive
Slave law, advocated the Kansas and Ne
braska bill, denounced Abolitoni>m from
first 10 last, and boldly cooperated in every
movement for the protection of the South
in IFS rights under The Constitution Hence
it is that, ubi1e he has re9olHc7y anil coGsig-
tc,jly resisted all attempts 10 control thc des-
iinies of Kansas By means not eafre1y legal
and fair, he has never sought 10 give the
ADVANTAGE to either Of the contending inter-
ests. Perfectly conscious, and dceply re-
greting that the mischievious efforts Of
Greely and the Northern fanatics have been
made the pretext for the recent border eX.
elements, he has firmly occupied the ground
Of diScouraging every movement that might
disturb the public mind, or revive those I'M
fortunate divisions which have so often con
vulSed our happy country. We are no
disappointed that general excitement has re
suited from the local troubles in Kansas
but we unheSiatingly say to the true friend
of Constitutional principles, in every part o
/ the Union. that no man could more faithfully
represent the conservative sentiment of tht
country. or will more steadily and conscien
tiouSlv labor to bring order out Of confusion
than the present Governor of Kansas.

Santa Anna and Mr.. Gadsden

The Tampico correspondent of the New
Orleans Delta, writes under date of April
Both
Il regret to be obliged to inform you that
the commercial relations between this coun-
Try and the United States are far from being
at all satisfactory 10 your countrymen, and
that the Hon. james Gad>den, your able
Minister, has lately been engaged in passing
strong remonstrances and protests against
the recreant violations of treaty stipulationS
TO the Prime Minister OF his Serene High
ness.
These protests are against the numerous
special concessions which His Supreme
IIighneSs has granted to certain European
houses, for the introduction of seven OF
eight cargocs Of foreign goods on the Pa
ciIic coast, at 30 per cent. less than the rate,
by the established tariff. while Your coun,
trymen are compelled to pay on all their i'm.
portatons to the strict letter of said tariff
His Serene Highncss has also been plcgsel

at the city Of Mexico, 10 import in this Re

of Havana sugar, corn, lard and rice with
out limit, for a certain bonus, thereby be
coming the violator of The laws OF the land
or more properly his own laws. Startled a
such proceedings, yom Minister could d
no less than demonstrate and protest agains
the violations of the treaty he is bound {,
protect, but his ENcelency Bonillo, has in
timated to Mr.. Gadsden that ''nccessit,
knows no laws, and treaties, (pardon th
musty adage) like pie-crust, were made t
be broken.n

From the Plains.

Mr.. Mitchell RobidouX has just returned
from the Plains, (25 days from Laramie.
and confirms our worst apprelIon>ions of Il
terrible Indian war on our frontiers. The
Indians everywhere are conlederating, TO
offer active resistance TO the Government
troops, whose coming they eagerly antici-
pate. The leader Of the Smoke band well
known to all our traders, and terror TO all
who know him, is acting the Tecumseh in
banding them together. Delay, at this june
ture, is dangerous. The four regiments
should have been by tls time on the Plains,
TO prevent general coalition of all the diff
ierent tribes. When once leagued together
for mutual aid and defence, it may cost our
government much money, and many men tc
overcome them.
Mr.. RobidouX came in without detrimen
to person or property, save the loss of tel
horses, stolen by the Ogalalies. The wealth
er at his trading post, sixty miles from Lar
annie, has been, during the whole winter
extremely mild and pleasant; so much SC

ruary, he found it convenient to dispens

every man but their husbands TO clasp them

Astounding Developments Missouri to
be Colonized-The Frontier to be Inva-
ded and Pllfered.

Our information coming from the most
reliable source, and being confirmed by men
in whom we have the most implicit conf
dence, we have to announce TO our citizens
that last week a meeting was held at the
city of Lawrence, X. T., the object of which
was to form an organization of a sufficient
force 10 run off all the negroes that can be
pilered upon the Frontier. Resolutions
embodying this sentiment were adopted, and
committees appointed TO make the necessary
arrangements.
Our informant also tells lis he was shown
a pamphlet, headed Facts for the People,,
wherein the abolition invaders are instruc-
ted 10 turn their forces upon Missouri, and
thus colonize that State with abolitionists,
by importing emigrants to take up tic I'M
occupied lands in Missouri, and Kansas
would then be safe.
There it is citizens--the mask is off

spoken in good time, we can only recomcnd
