LETTER FROM DAVID R. ATCHIsON.

attend tic apnua! celebration Of the battle of Kings
Mountain, \. [. wrote an invitation to Gen. Atchi-
son, OF Missouri, the celebrated pro-slavery champion
and bosom friend of Pierce. The answer of Atch
isou is worthy Of attention. 1t was written to
Southern men, and must he considered a pretty
fair indication Of the feeling Of those men in the
South who give tone to the popular sentiment. OF
the reckless desperation Of our enemies, we can
have no just estimate, unless we follow them into
Their haunts, and oycrhear them when they have
no reason to disguise their sentiments. We care
but little for the rawlings Of Atchison or Stringfel.

THE LAWS.

The following is from the Missouri Republican
If the "Dorder rufinus" could override Capt
Recder and the law, to protect their rights, as is
alleged, it may he regarded as certain that they
are able to enforce the law We would like t(
have Rceder, with his Lawrence legion, attempt
to nullify the laws. They would very quickly he
placed in a position to do what they have never
yet done--service to the Territory No such good
fortune awaits US. BY the day the law takes
effect, if one be left in the Territory, his lips viii
be sealed.
The law seems complete, and may 5e copied
with advantage by the States. Why has such q
law not been long since enacted If the men OF
tie North really desire to preserve the Union, they
must do justice to their brothers of the South
protect thPir property-punish those who rob them.
Kansas has set the example Of justice and good
faith to her neighbors. Let the example be fol
lowed and her name will be blessed.
Says the Kansas Tribune:
Now, what is the result d? A month has passed
under the law, and yet, throughout the entire Ter.
ritory, there is perfect freedom OF speech and
every where are heard execrations and contempt
COR the Law and its authors and abettors. The
Press has condemned itin strong language, and
the Officers" dare not arrest them. We have
said, and shall continue to say, that there is No
LEGAL SLAVERY IN KANSAS, and that, SO
far as the mock Kansas Legislature is concerned,
Samho and Dinah have just as much right to sell
their masters MS their masters have to sci! them.
The man that brings slaves here under the impress
ion thai he can sustain his rights to them by suppress
sing free discussion is but little short Of an idiot.
Talk about mems lips being sealed" The thing is
absurd. Everywhere. from the Press and the
stump, 90 forth the Interest characterization OF
the law, and no where in Kansas has any man the
e~ifrontcry to insult an audi cnce by attempting to
defend the odious thing. In Kansas not "A corpo
rails guard desire to defend it; and Missouri dare
net eend her "%rufiars here for any such purpose
Slavery exists here only by s,6erdhce, and the
moment Of an attempt to tramplc down white
mems rights in its support would be the signal Of
its determination from the Territory. Kansas i,
not responsible for the odious laws passed by the
corrupt body which met at the Shawnee Mission,
and her people will never be disgraced by succumb
ing to them.

A~NTI.sLAVERY BAZAAR.

The Sixth Cincinnati Anti-Slavery Bazaar, clos
ed ut the Mechanics Institute, Oct. Goth, with I'M
expected success; its proceeds being upwards Of
eight hundred dollars. Owing to the prolonged
illness Of one of the Bazaar Committee and the
absence from the city of several others, this was
far beyond their most sanguine expectations, being
two hundred more than was realized last year. To
those faithful friends of this city, who from year
to year bave responded to our call, we feel the
more indebted, because we know our views are in
some measure rcpulsive to them; and although We
feel sure they will at last come to view them as
the safest and truest, we know they now look up
on them as somewhat visionary. For the boxes OF
beautiful goods from Boston, Dedham, Plymouth,
Rochester and Detroit, we offer our heartfelt
thanks; no aid could have ever been extended more
timely. We would name some of the articles par
ticularly beautiful, but time and space would fail.
Let all these friends remember that this is mission.

j.. B. MCoRMIc.-The narrative of this gentle
man on our first page, affords another alarming
evidence of The ~servility of our northern state
officials. Governor Wright, like the Supreme
Judges of Pennsylvania, seems to think it his only
business to serve the shareholders. Apparently
he has no idea that it is any part of his business
to protect citizens of Indiana against even the most
fragrant and insolent outrages of slaveholding.
Governor Wright, some months since married n
Kentucky lady, and for aught w know. also q
plantation Of slaves. AT any rate, his determine
ton to surrender Mr.. M'Cormic to the Kentucky
Governor indicates clearly that he supposes his
interest to lie among the plantations.

COOL DISAVOWAL.

John Jay, n descendant Of the renowned John
Jay, Of Revolutionary memory, we suppose, pre-
prepared an address to be delivered before the
Republican CUSTOM Convention in New York
State, recently held, but had not time to present
it. The following statement occurs in the ad-
dress:
at has been objected to our organization that
we cannot liberate a single slave in single slave
State. SUCH rs NOT OUR AIM"
By this sentence we can see how coolly the lead
ers OF the Republican party perform the thankless
and suicidal task of disavowing all aim or desire
of touching slavery where it really exists pro-
posing only a defensive war against its further
progress, as though they were willing to live in a
state OF perpetual war of defense against IL yOra-
cicus and all deyouring monster-a beast of prey.
whose very nature is to devour and make havoc Or
all that is good and lovely in society. They are
willing even to make a truce with him.
As evincinG the strongest imfatuation and incon-
sistency the address goes on to say;
"Thus far slavery has gained in every contest
with freedom, either by profering or trampling
upon Compromises. When Washington took his
first oath at New York in l7S7 to support the
Constitution, all the National Territory was
FREE.
"ln 1920 half Of it was opened to slavery, In
1854 by a fusion Of Southern Wings and Northern
Democrats, in an act of bad faith, the whole was
opened to Slavery. In 1855 the Federal Govern,
ment are engaged in forcing Slavery upon Kan
sas, and the Federal judiciary is preparing the
way for forcing slavery upon the Free States"
Yet all this while the whole North has been
talking about limiting and localizing the evil,
and Mr.. Jay shall be our witness as to the result
In conclusion we may well ask, rs there Aot a more
effective mode Of attack ?-MdepeAdent Press.
Our Rayenna ~neighbor sees clearly and foreibly
exposes the inc0ngruity Of Mr.. Jays address, and
yet if we arc not greatly mistaken, the hide
pendent Press was among the advocates of the
Republican Party previous to the late election.
Between Mr.Jay's position and that of the Republi,
can party Of Ohio we know no difference, Mr..
jays disavowal is no more go u than that of our
Republican advocates-of Mr.. Chase himself
Ave we mistaken in regard to the Press?

THE DIsUNION TICKET NOT ELECTED

Some one has forwarded us the Summit Demo-
crat, printed at Akron in this State and c~onspicu-
susly marked We find the following editorial.
EXTREMES MEEr.-Sourm CARoLIyA BEHIND
We present the following as one of the 'signs of
the times Let us hear no moro about nullifca-
ton and disunion at the south. The subioined tick
ct was actually voted in this township at the last
election, and in many other election districts on
the Western Reserve-headed as follows
Union wM Eeeemen! No Union wiM Shareholders
For Governor,
ABRAHAM BROOKS (colored.)
For Lieutenant Governor,
OLIVER O. BROWN (white.)
For Senator,
FREDERICK S. SHELDON (white.)
For Representative,
AUSTIN M. HALE white probably
There it is in Black and white, no Union with
Shareholders. We should have supposed that the
most radical abolitionist would have been satisfied
with Gov. Chase's doctrines about the value of the
American Union, but these actually 'out IIerod,
llerod,' Fanatics used to taW about disunion but
now they vote it. This is one of the legitimate
fruits of fusion. This is one of the rounds of the
ladder upon which Gov. Chase expects to climb in
to the White house Ohio says no more union
with shareholders. South Carolina says no more
union with abolitionists. This is more than a fe.
bic fulfllment of tie prediction of lsraers elo-
quent prophet. The lion and the lamb shall lie
down together.
So it seems the disunionists actually voted in
many of the election Districts on the Reserve
Who lean save the Union now? The important

devotion to w~higgery and slavery in the following
paragraph
Mr.. Winthrop has writied II letter declaring his
loyal adherence to the Wing party aud his sense
of the paramount importance OF local over nation
nj matters, at this inconsiIerable iuncture OF
Liquor Laws and Bills intended for the protection
of Personal Liberty over resistance to the permn-
nent and universal sway of the Slave Power! T
have heard before of politicians being laid on the
shelf; but ! do not exactly remember an example
Of one taking the pains to climb up and lay him
self there. His determination to stand by the
poor old battered, water-logged craft which Mr..
Webster scuttled with his dying hand, may BIO
mognanimous and solE-denying, but it is anything
but prudent and iOrecasting. 1t reminds one Of
the pedant Of liierocles, who, when the ship was
going to pieces, made himself fast to the anchor.

This seems to be a very clear declaration, that
the church stands only by the aid Of Slavery, that
20 cmancipate the slaves would be to overthrow
the church. Well, such q church is fit only to be,

FRUIT TREES AND SHRUBBERY.

We are pleased to see that many of the citizens
Of Salem and vicinity, are this fall transplanting
into their gardens an unusual number of fruit
trees, especially dwaifs and ornamenting their
grounds with choice varieties of shrubbery. Much
of this is from the celebrated Nursery cf Messrs
Elwanger and Barry, Rochester, N. Y.
TO Mr.. ANDREW ii. ERNST, of Cincinnati,
are under great obligation for some choice varieties
of fruit trees, Raspberry and other plants, Mr..
Ernst is most intelligent and 2ersevering in
his genealogical and horticultural labors. To him
The country is largely indebted for the perfecting
and introduction of many choice varieties of fruit.
The labors Of such men will live long after them.
They are public benefactors.
To Ma. CHARLES III. CoRNwELL, we are indebtz
ed for a choice specimen of his Doyenne, from
trees transplanted eighteen months ago. Mr.. G,
cultivates his trees with skill and care and he
reaps an early and a luscious reward. lie suggests
that those who desire their trees to grow rapidly
next season, had better remove the wires which
hold the nursery!labels to the trees, else like soma
of his, they may next fall be found to have girdled
the trees and seriously injured them.
