I ORA NEUTRALITY LAws.-Our government
tnterfered very efactually to prevent the
manifestation Of the fllibastering propensities
! Of our citizens when they attempted to enlist
\ IN the war against Russia. The Attorney
General instituted proceedings in our courts.
and very sharp correspondence was opened
with the British Minister, and the civil au-
thorities were urged TO renewed vigilance to
prevent the enlistment of soldiers in the
L. S.
And vet il is fresh IN the recollection Of the
public, that some hundreds of soldiers were
recently enlisted IN the United States, in Vi
olation of the same neutrality laws, for the
invasion Of Nicaragua. Why were laws en-
forced IN the one case and in the other suf-
fered to remain dead letter on the statute
book5
lie simple answer which covers many sins
Of commission and omission. is that Frank.
Pierce Is President Of the United States, to
whom is confded the duty Of executing the
laws of Congress.
CO We publish an Extra Of Kansas
paper which shows what kind Of Free State
men are engaged in enforcing ''law and or
DER in Kansas, and in what spirit and for
what purpose they do it,
Strange, isn't it, that the cause Of ''law and
order" should create such general excitement
amongst the 'border rufhnns," and in all the
Missouri River towns, stirring up the pro-
slavery Southerners to turn out in large
bodies and march hundreds of miles Ssto keep
the peace" and preserve the majesty OF law
Especially when we remember they are the
same men that Inobbed preachers, lynched
editors, and took possession Of the polls in
armed bands
1T is not go strange, however, TO find Edi
tors with an eseasy conscience" exerting
themselvasin behalf Of this same motley
crew Of s'lawand ORDER rufhans.
GV Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, in
his recent Message, amongst other rampant
giorifcation of his State, says:
ssThe agitation il relation to slavery CON
tinues to increase, and is rapidly tending TO
lis bloody termination. Measures, which ii
was hoped bv some would give quiet to the
country and dignity to its deliberations, have
served but TO redouble the efforts and aug
ment the power Of abolition. Civil war is a
dlrefui calamity, but its scourges are to be
endured IN preference to degradation and
ruin. The people Of South Carolina are
alive to the Issue, and are mindful of their
obligations. They are calm, because they
are prepared aud self reliant. They have
not forgotten their history. and they will NOT
failto vindicate its teaching. The right TO
provide new guards for their future security
has been sealed by the blood of their ances-
tors and will never be surrendered. Come
what may, they will do their duty, and leave
the consequence 70 Gc3s.
If South Caroliniaas nave not forgotten
theis history" they VIII remember how they
qnailed and cowed like whipt pups when Jack
son Threatened TO hang every mothers son Of
tiem; and remembering that incident Of
their history, they viii follow the same ex-
ample of discreet submission to the laws Of
the country, Whenever we have Man iii the
Presidential chair. & They are braggarts

CO If any doubt has been entertained ms
10 the transportation Of paupers by the Ger
man Government to America, they will be
dissipated by the following order lateI, issued
by the Government of Wurtemburg:
ssWhereas ii has been repeatedly represent

and among them emigrants from Wurtem-
burg, who either on account of sickness or
lneapacity 10 labor desire To return TO their
native land, arc forwarded by the German
Emigration Society in New York; and where
ms it's undes irable that those who have en-
igrated. and particularly those who have
been sent TO America at the expense of the
State q Of conmunes, ~ case they should
not meet with success in America. whether II
be owing 10 their own fault or not, should re-
turn To their native country TO become "A bur

Ia such case would have entirely thrown
