| ger any of its ministers who may seek to preach
the mercles of Redeemer to the people of Platte.
This is certainly going farther than we have ever
yet known fanaticism to reach in America. The
resolutions which hold up vindictiye threats over
the heads of the editors of the Lum,inayy if they
shall ever again appear in Platte county, or if they
shall ddre to settle IN Kansas territory are perhaps
not so remarkable Those who make no scruple of
voting in Kansas while residing in Missouri, are
not likely to hesitate in debating who shall 90
there to settle, before their own proposed exodus
shall take place.-S. Louis Democrat, 2lSt. inst.
/ EXCITEMENT IN PLATTE CouNTY.-We scarcely
know how to speak of thJse proceedings. That
the LuminGry may not have been sufficiently pro-
slavery in its sentiments for the latitude and local
ity of Platte county presided over. by the way, by
General Atchison, seems to have been the head and
front of its offending.
Therefore it was voted q nuisance, and summa-
rily disposed Of The Lumindry was not an Abo-
litionist paper, nor were its owners Messrs Park
q Patterson, Freesoilers! One of them-Park, we
believe-is the owner of slaves and not at all like
ly to publish opinions, which, while endangering
the slave property of others, would also eopardize
the safety of his own. But the Luminary spoke
no hard and bitter words against the emig-ants to
Kanzas fros the North. 1t did not call them "hire-
ngs" and white slaves" bought up AID sent out
by northern capitalists to plant the standard of
Freesolism or the soil of Kanzas. 1t welcomed
all settlers with open arms, and encouraged emf
grafton to the new territory frcm all quarters, be-
cause its owners knew that the rapid settlement Of
Kansas by industrious and thrifty emigrants would
augment the trade, and advance the interests of
the border towns and cities of Missouri. Fer this
they were spotted" tried oy self-constuted ju-
ry found guilty, condemned and ordered to leave
the State.
We think the Platte county people, when they
come to reflect cooly their conduct, will be
heartily ashamed of it. 1t is unworthy the lber
al spirit of the age, and unbecoming the chivalric
characters of Missourians. Yet they are not so
much to blame for the affair." as the arch-demagogue
Gen. Atchison, and his subordinates who have in
stigated it. Atchison's voice is not heard nor his
name mentioned but he is at the bottom of the
busness-has famed the slavery excitement into
a wild and dangerous flame, which threatens yet
more terrible results than have yet transpired.-

ANOTHER MODERATE SOUTHERN VIEW

We give below extracts from two of the most
prominent journals in the South, one of which is
very decidedly pro-slavery in its usual tone. We
predicted a reaction in Missouri and it has already
Commenced. A few mere Anti-Nebraska victories
in the North. and few more outrages such as that

3 SLAVERY ExcIrExENr.-The destruction of the
Parkville Lumiaary presents the fact that in the
western counties of this State the agitation of the
slavery question has been wrought up to fearful
degree Of intensity, and that it is no longer per-
mitted to the public press of the country to com.
ment in any other than an approving manner of
the proceedings of those nullifers who set them
selves up as the peculiar guardians of the State
institutions. In addition to this fact it will be
seen too that these individuals" have denounced

and child connected with the Methodist church

A FAITHFUL GIRL.

A case Of woman's devotion has recently been
brought to our knowledge which certainly equals
anything that we have ever met with in the realms
of romance. The circumstances occurred in this
city, and are perfectly we'll authenticated. While
the small pox was raging here a few weeks ago, a
young man employed in store on Lake street,
improper for him to remain there, and the people
with whom he lived, who were distant relatives of
his refused to permit him TO stay in their house.
The result was, that he was taken to the pest,
honse.
1t so happened that he was engaged to be mar
ried to q most estimable and amiable young lady
No sooner did she hear of his condition than she
determined at once that she would nurse him. She
underwent vaccination, and then went where they
had taken her bethrothed to the pest-house. Here
she found him, alone. sick wretched, deserted by
all the world. And here she remained, like min
istering angel, waiting beside his bed of pain,
soothing his distresses, and attending to his wants.
lie died.
But how consoling must have been his last mo-
ments Though all the world had forsaken him,
She whom he loved better than all the world, re-
mained faithful to the last Her hand it was that
smoothed his pillow; her eyes still beamed upon
him with mournful but unabated affection into
her car he poured his last words Of love- of sor-
row, and of hopes that in this world might never
be fulfilled.
1t recalled to our mind, when we heard it, the
words that Bulwer puts in the mouth of one OF his
characters "To be watched and tended by the one
we love, who would not walk blind and barefoot
