CASSIUS M. CLAY,

Some Of the citizens of Rockcaste county have
notified Capt G. NJ. Clay and Rev. J. G. Fee, "and
all other Abolition speakers and preachers" that
they must desist from speaking or preaching in
that county under the penalty Of being dealt with
rs justice and the law requires.
Capt Clay Publishes long letter in reply, and
concludes it by announcing that he and Mr.. Fee
wild speak ut Scalold Cave, Rockcactle county,
to-day. There is trouble brewing.-Louisride
Conrier, 2lst inst
We know Of no place in Kentucky where citi-
zen of tie State would be molested for speaking
for or against slavery, or anything else it is a
free country and we are sure that no slaveholde
we know OF would be guilty Of interfering with
any gentlemen that chose to express his sentiments
upon the subject of slavery, one way the Other
Capt. Clay spoke herc IN the court house, some
years ago, and well received by tho CtiEehS of
this place, and it is not likely that any brave or
manly set of gentlemen have been of those who
sent Mr.. Clay any such notice
1t will be a hard case indeed when citizens Of
our own State cannot be permitted to speak or
preach to such as choose to hear them, in respect
ful manner and we sure that Capt. Clay would
speak in no other way. And Judge Nelson of this
county challenged Mr.. Fee to discussion of the
subject of slavery last summer in the village of
california, III this county, which was accepted by
Mr.. Fee and the discussion went on for three or
four days in manner becoming Christians and
MEN. large audience was in attendance regular.
y every day. and all seemed to take much interest
in the discussion and parted like brothers and
friends when it ended Shareholders and nom
Shareholders were present, and although Mr.. Mel,
son, the pro-savery debater, was defeated in sus-
tanning his ground, there was no disturbance no
threats, nor even bad feeling exhibited the
whole time. This certainly credit to both
parties, and an advancement to the cause of hu,
manity, truth and good government. No good
Kentuckian will certainly ever attempt to oppose
free discussion on State policy when even tho
know-Nothings are driven to come out in open de-
bate.
An open sea and fair play, gentlemen, is the
word for progressive Improvement

VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.

The Richmond Enquirer is tho organ Of the Vir-
ginia Democracy, which, from the time OF Jeifcr-
son to the present moment, has been regarded rs
the standard of political orthodoxy, not only in
the saveholding South, but by the Old Line De-
mocracy of the North. 1t is important, therefore
to give wakefu attention to the oraCles which
from time to time it utcrs for the guidance of its
followers. But in order to understand its utter
anccs it is first necessary to learn that the Virgin
ia Democracy for the time being is nialliblc, how
ever inconsistent with itself at other times, and
however antagonistcal, in point blank, with the
teachings Of the great apostle, Jefferson of his
contemporary disciples, Madison, Monroe, and 9th
ers.
Hear what the Enquirer now lays down as the
true theory of Democracy IN. Era

more able and honest than they. He dcplores, as
an evil, what they recommend as virtue. They
inculcate competition rs the life of trade and es-
scnco of morality. The good order, the peace, the
protection and aliectonate relations OF society at
the South, induce tho belief in a Designer and
Author of this order, and thus lift tho soul from,
nature up to Natures Gol.' The chaotic confusion
of free society has the opposite effect. Hence, in
fidelity and universal liberty have been co-extcn
si,e in time aud in space. There are few or no IN

public meetings aud discussions, and the book

FREEMEN, AWAk +.

Tho pro-slavcry party at Pawncc, last week kind
ly developed another move which they have III
prospective, by which they expect to chcck-natc
the advocates of freedom. 1t is no less than TO
annex the Platte purchase to Kansas with its slave
population. The Quasi-Lcgislaturo Of Kansas CON
scnting, Missouri will Of course consent; then they
join from u State Constitution, and apply to Con
gross for admission as a Slave State The Missouri
Legislature will meet in November to cOnsumatc
the fraud. The evidence that such is the move
mcnt is not founded upon conjecture, as it was
actually developed as " part Of the programme of
the SoidiSdm Kansas Legislature by one Of its
own members. The issue must be met and rCsis-
ted to the last extremity. The fact tells why our
border ncighbors have all long concerned them.
selves to such an extent in Kansas matters. and
why they have expended so much money to secure
an ascendency in our Legislative Assembly; and
why "unit" was desired there. Atchson is Il
resident of Platte county; and no doubt he hopes
to be elected Governor Of Kansas under this ar
ngcment.-Lawrenee (K, ~ Herald, July II.

the Free" into great slaveholding confcderacy-
and whereas, in the crisis that is upon us, and in
the struggle between tho opposing principles Of
Liberty and Slavery, it becomes the people of the
Free States to take counsel together, that they
may act in concert upon tho great question which
nearly concerns the interests of all-thc Lcgis-
laturo of New Hampshire, in response to the com.
municaton from her sister State of Maine, deems
it her duty to put forth the following Declaration
Of Principles therefore,
ReSolred, by Tie Senate and House Of Reprcsc1l-
tdtireS, mi General Court conrened, as tolloUS
That, in the present struggle, whatever other
States may do, New Hampshire, true to the early
policy of the Fathers of this Republic, will be
found unialtcrng on the side of Liberty.
Resolved That it is the duty of the people OF
the Free States to postpone all differences of opin
ion upon minor questions, and act unitedly to-
gether in demanding the immediate and uncondi-
tional restoration of the Missouri Compromise, and
in resisting the admission of any slave State form
cd out Of territory covered by that Compromise.
Resolved, That, standing upon an issue so clear
ly right, dearly as New Hampshire loves the Union
Of these States, no threats of dissolution will have
any terrors, or drive her from her fixed purpose of
doing all in her power to restore Kansas and Ne
braska to Freedom.
Resolved, That, in making this issue, New
Hampshire is not to be regarded as yielding any
ground heretofore contended for. She takes no
step backward. Therefore, this Legislature de-
CldTeS tulu inc uOVCrnUeUt Ol tHc Onllcu Suites
was formed to establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common defence, pro-
mote the general welfare and secure the blessings
of Liberty; that the institution Of slavery is di-
rectly opposed to all those ends, inasmuch rs it
violates the first principles Of justice, is fruitful
source Of domestic discord an element of national
weakness, tramplng under foot net only the rights
of the slave, but cndangerng the liberties Of the
tree States; that it is local and not national in
stltution, and it is, therefore, the duty of the Cen
eral Government, wherever it constitutionaly may
to exert its power against its extension and to rid
itself of all connection with it.
10 this end we demand
l. That no more slave States or Territory shall
ever be added to the Union.
2. The abolition of slavery in the District Of
Columbia
3. The unconditional repeal of tho Fugitive
Slave Bill, and,
4. The protection of the people of the Terrific
ries from the unlawful invasion of slavery propa
gandism.
And we hereby request our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to uso their most strenuous
cxertions to have the principles embodied i'll thos
resolutions carried out.
Resolved, That the Governor be requested t
forward copy of these resolves to each of GU
Senators and Representatives in Congress, and t
the Governor of each State, with request that tn
resolves be laid before the Legislature thereof.

DOINGS OF THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
PAwNEE, Kansas Territory, July 7th, 1855.

MEssRs EDITORS You will, No doubt be aston
ished at the new light thrown upon legislation,
constitutional law, and the powers of Congress, by
the Legislature of Kansas, which adjourned from
this place yesterday, after session of five days,
Tho first bill was introduced after the House was
organized was to adjourn ;hc Legislature from this
place to the Shawnee Mission, or Manual labor
School, located about two miles from Missouri, near
Wcstport.
Mr.. lIutchison, free State member, made a
speech against it, arguing that the organic act au-
thorized the Governor to locate the first legislature
and determine the place Of holding its sessions
that they had no power to order the Governor to
move his Office and locate permanently at the ln-
dian school-that the government had been at the
expense OF fitting up large two story stone build
ing, sixty feet long by thnty wide with suitable

MORE TROUBLES APPREIIENDED IN KAN
SAS.

A correspondent writing from Kansas to the
St. Louis Democrat, says
"There's going to be Il row." as Sir Charles Cold
stream elegantly phrascd it, One Of the toasts
proposed at the celebration Of the Fourth of July
after an able and most uncompromising attack
on tho institution of slavery, by DR.. Chasles Robin
son, the orator OF the day--a toast, IL understand
that was loudly applaudcd-was framed in these
words:
"TnE KANSAS LEGIsLATURE.--A body alien to our
soil, elected by fraud; VIC are not responsible for
their acts and ask no favors at their hands"
Now, this Legislature as | wrote before, is COM
posed of men who will tolerate no humbug but its
own If this poll tax is not paid-and if those
who refuse to pay it, on the ground that the Legis
slaturc who impose it, is an illegal body, attempt
to vote, you will again hear Of an armed invasion
OF u civil war in Kansas.

SLAVERY ILLEGAL.

The following is an extract from one Of the Doc
umcnts presented at the late Convention of radical
Abolitionsts in Syracuse, N. Y.
WHAT is MEANT BY THE ILLEGALITY OF SLAVERY.
When we say that slavery is Wegal, We mean not
merely that it is morally wrong, wicked, sinful,
in the sight Of God, but that it is likewise unlaw-
ful, by the established principles of human uris-
prudence, just murder, arson, robbery, theft,
and assault and battery, are unlawful, and that
there is no more valid law for the oRe than there
is for the other. We mean that slaych, ldlng is il
legal, as other criminal practices are illegal
We affirm that there is no legislation in any of
the States that makes it legal We maintain that,
even without any Legislation against slavery, it is
nor the right and duty Of the Courts of Justice to
libcrate any slave who may bring suit for his or
her freedom.
