Gus greetings on the Anniversary Week.
You viii miss these things as you well
know; but IN the thought Of noble,
self-denying work, and in communion
with Him whose presence Is closer and
dearer tiian that of any brother, You viii
reassure your heart. Let us hear from
you regularly, that through the pages of
our Journal your friends at the East may
every quarter learn OF vour movements,
plans, trials, hopes, and wishes. We
hope to receive accounts of churches
formed for which you, their spiritual over
seer, want ministers we hope to have
calls to supply the printed page, that our
religious literature may there have mis-
sion for good. To those of our faith,
here and in other places who go with you,
YOU viii be good minister, counsellor,
a protector, a son OF consolation, true
servant of the church; and to them, ard
70 all whom You may influence, YOU will
do the work of an Evangelist, and of a
steward of the mysteries of God. There
or here, my brother, It's but short day
that we have wherein to act cur part in
life. There or here, and above the tolls
AMI trials of our lot, may we hear the
Masters words, "Ba thou faithful unto
death, and | will give the crownof life. y

Facts and Effects in Kansas.

The Albany Argus copies from the
st. Louis Democrat statement that ''the
pro-slayery party in Kansas is one fourth
less numerous than its opponents. and
founds upon it anartiele designed to show
that the alarm about Kansas becoming a
slave State is unfouaded.. To this the
New York. Daily Times replies, by say
ing that this might be so, if the question
were left to the inhabitants of the Terri
tory. There is no doubt that public
sentiment throughout the Territory is
decidedly opposed to the introduction OF
slavery.
But what will this avail so long as an
armed mob from Missouri is permitted to
march i'll, take possession of the ballot
boxes, fill the Legislature with members
from their own ranks, and thus take the
legislative power of the Territory into
their own hands,-and so long as they
have in this the active and efficient CO.
operation of the President of the United
States? The Missouri mob is supreme
over Legislation in Kansas. And Gov.
Reeder has just been elected from Office
by President Pierce, because he would
not recognize the right Of these usurperS
10 make laws for the government OF the
people of Kansas. Under these circum-
stances, il is natterof no practical i'm
portance what the sentiment of the ma
iority of the people may be; it IS certain
to be overborne by the Missouri mob
backed by the Executive power of the
Federal Government.
The Legislature is sure to pass law:
permitting and inviting slavery. Under
these laws slavery will be planted there
Shareholders will go there with theil
property )" they viii acquire rights
there, and by and by viii plead those
rights as a reason why slavery should
NOT be abolished. The same influences
which have controlled the Kansas elec-
ton thus far, will brought to bear upon
them hereafter. The certainty of Fed
eral countenance aud support will stimu-
late the Missouri mob TO renewed aud
perserering efforts to effect Il e complete
conquest of the Territory.-Bmg. Coar.

The Final Act of Infamy.

President Pierce has removed Gov.
Reeder as Governor of Kansas. We are
scarcely prepared to herald this event,
although We should have been satisfied,
long since, that there is nothing too mean
or trucking which Franklin Pierce will
not do to obtain southern votes for the
next Presidential canvass. We did
hope, from the hesitancy manifested by
the administration the last few weeks,
that there was, a prospect of better things.
But the President is driven on by the
slave power from one act of infamy to
to another. Gov. Reeder Is therefore
superseded by John L. Dawson, one of
the eleven members of Congress from
this State who voted for the Nebraska
swindle-a fit tool to do the bidding of
the Missouri ruffians who assume TO act
as the Legislature of Kansas.
No doubt some specific charge will
be preferred against Gov. Reeder, as an
excuse forhis removal. One has already
been exploded, i.e., that he had been
trading in the lands OF. the halfbreeds in
Kansas. But bis removal, in reality, is
based upon no such thing. The truth is
the true sause why Reeder has been dis
missed, he would not succumb To String
fellow and his confederates. And, at
their mandate, issued from the mock
Legislature of Kansas, he is struck
down.
WHAT shall be the end of all this perf-
dy we know not. There is a consolstien
in the belief that Kansas cannot be ad-
mitted into the Union rs Slave Safe,
And if, as a contemporary observes, the
Union will wreck upon refusal to ad
NIT her with slavery, then, we say, let it
20 to flinders. Ne are done compro-
missing with Slavery, at ali events, come
what will. Kansas shall never be ad.
mitted into the Union. with our consent,
be TIE consequences what they may.

A Monument to cerrit Smith.

We are happy to learn that Gerrit
Smith contemplates disposition of his
great property, that regards the good of
the living, and is local, practicable and
full OF promise. The 0swego Palladium
says that ii is his purpose to found and
endow great educational institution
somewhere in central New York, to which
he will dedicate the bulk of his proper
ty. His plans are nearly matured. The
institution is to be a University of The
highest class, aud established on the
most liberal principles, 1t is to be sur
rounded with an ample farm, to give the
opportunity of tillage to such students
as desire to strengthen and invigorate
themselves by labor, and is to make suit
able provisions for cases of struggling
merit.
Far better for man win be this act OF
benifccnce, than any application of treas
ure and life in futile efforts at sectarian
civilization upon the headwaters of the
Mississippi-on the pestilential coasts oil
Africa-and among the sayages of the
spice Islands oil the East In no way
could Gerril Smith, while doing an ines
timable good, 50 surely build for himself
an imperishabie monument among the
American people.-Bafato Democracy.

Gov. Reeder for President.

A correspondent Of the Pittsburgh
Gazette nominates Gov. Reeder for the
Presidency. The people of Pennsyl-
vania should be content for the present
to make the Governor a United States
Senator, and the freemen of the North
will not fail to invite him up higher
Here is the letter alluded to-
Dear Sir :-"There is tide in the af-
fairs of men, which, taken at the food
leads on TO fortune" Now if this is true,
is it not h,qh tide with x~Gov. Reeder

cided talent-an able an accomplished
lawyer-of high personal character-of
great purity of iife-an elder in the Pres
bYterian Church, and Just such man as
oureountry needs in these troubious times
at the helm of the ship of State, why not
bring him forward at once as the next
candidate for the Presidency and Domi-
nate hlnat your Republican Convention,
in Pittsburgh, on the 5th of September?
l believe his nomination would take like
FIRE in a dry prairie. 1t seems to me he
is the man TO lead the army Of freedom

President shannon,s speech.


Pursuant to appointment President
Shannon delivered speech to the citi-
Gems Of this place on Saturday last, on
.l,e subject of domestic slavery. 1t was
read of from manuscript. and we per-
sumo is tie same speech that was deliy-
cred to the Lexington Convention, which
created so much disturbance in that body.
The speech seems 10 have been prepaF-
ed with great care and the subject was
certainly handled with ability, but from
what expression of opinion We have
heard on the subject, We think that but
few were willing to subscribe to ali the
pesi.ions taken by the speaker. One
tI,iag at least seems to be manifest, that
the people are heartily tired Of SO much
demapogueism, and useless agitation of
this exciting question, for there were
not more than 200 persons present at
anv one time, which number dwindIed
down to some 80 or 50 before the speech
was concluded. The speech We learn is
to be printed and extensively circulated,
when all who desire can have an oppor-.
tunity to Judge Of It's nerits.-Lsdspea-
deace No. Messenger.

Up.
"Up in the mornings Tl,ldy light,
Ipin the tnorniur early. n

Yes! up slug beds; up drowsy ones;
let your souls drink in the glory of sun
rise. Do you know what pictures are
being painted upon the lofty blue ceiling
overhead! How the great Shepherd lets
down the golden bars that the sun may
enter his mighty field Of azure? Do you
know that all the banks of azure crimson
brighten, and the tall cloud palaces throw
open their doors with rejoicing?
Up and shake off the garment of
dreams; breathe this delicious air Let
your song of thanksgiving float to heav
en- like the song Of yonder ycllow-throat-
cd bird.
Up! despairing one. How know you
but your sun rises? Look out with hope.
What though he sank last night in black
clouds tinged with fame? Come out to
greet him, and he win meet thee. Sad
news yesterday? trust for good to-day
frowBiBg faces meet you? les them frown,
but do you keep your heart strong and
cheerful with hope, and smile in tiie We
ry eyes of diseourageEnent. Hope is
an anchor sure and steadfast;;' cast it
forth and you shall not bend to every
breeze. Up, and take large draushts of
cheerfulness, for the promise of Heaven
IS 10 those who patiently abide till the.
storm be oyerpast.
When the mariner sees in the distance
the cold. black reef. pointed with death,
and the white foam curling over their
tops, and knows that their cavern floors
are covered with the bones ofpoor. cast
away sailors. does he sink back and say
with sigh, .It'sRo use to do anything

and shouts his orders III a voice of thun-
der. The night may be coming. and
he wind of rising tempest piping tire
the shrouds. and the passengers timer-
o.as and trembling, may gather round the
deck and fling their arms upward IN wild
despair, but the more trouble crowds, or
dangers threaten, the more ike a giant
does he use his sineWy. arnas. and throw
out his great voice; and If the roar of the
leaping surf sounds nearer, yet more and
more he puts to his strength. till when
the moon breaks oati through the rifted
cloud, his almost superfuInan efforts are
rewarded with success, aud hcssees atar
off die low line of the breakers, and his
shin safely speeding on another course.

The Democratic Press.


The Warren Ledger, strong demo-
cratic paper of Pennsylvania, thus talks
about President Pierce. 1t says
1--WE care not what may have been the
pretended motives of the President for
executing this outrageous act. Every cir
cumstance connected with the whole af-
fair from beginning to end, convinces us
that they could not have been worthy or
lustifiable. 1t is useless for democratic
papers to palliate the enormity of the
deed, by attributiug Reeder's removal to
supposed speculations in Indian lands
This, under the existing circumstances,
is an excuse unworthy to be urged by
by any real lover of justice, liberty and
law. GOV. Reeder has proved these
charges TO be as false as they are dis
honorable and mean But even if they
were true, we should think no less harsh
" of the President for removing him as
and rken he did. Greater and more
vital questions were at stake than the
truth or falsehood of those charges. Lib
erty, law, right, and truth, had meet in
deadly ieud with slavery, lawlessness,
wrong and error between them both
stood Reeder; and had the President
possessed the least spark of patriotism
or Justice, he would not have heSilated
one instant TO protect "hisown anointed'
and maintain the majesty of the law
After this had been done, the ruffianly
mob effectually quelled, and its instiga-
tors properly punished, then would have
been the right time to ascertain the valid
ity orinvalidity of those charges.
No, the eulpability of the President in
this matter is undeniable it stands ou
in all its naked euormity, a disgrace tc
the man and the horror of the world.
