The HireIings.

OF the disgraeeful proceedings in this
place on Friday last, by which the ballot
box was converted into an engine of op-
preston, we have hardly patience to write.
To see hundreds of hired mercenaries on
horseback, on foot, and In wagons and car
riages, coming into Kansas in body from
an adjoining State, and expressing de-
termination to return so soon as they shall
have polluted the freeman's safeguard with
their touch and to see that purpose fulfill
ed without any action whatever showing
an intention to remain here for single
hour after they shall have cast ballot, is,
to say the least, enough to make republi.
can ashamed of his national connections;
and were he not strongly welded to the
federal Constitution, In moment of vexa-
ton he might be led TO exclaim that he de-
sired ssno union with such base mercena-
ries. .'-Herald of Freedom.

ANOTHER DOSE.

II the basest system Of denunciation and
SANDER, is a crime,-if libel is a personal
offence, then, indeed does the author of this
vile extract deserve the rerard of Hemp!
We repeat it, that the following, article
from the ''Herald of Freedom paper
that is hired by Eli Thayer s. Co., to vilify
all the honest citizens of Kansas, and the
people of the South generally, should be
noticed. Ii is no light charge, to assert
that the Ballot Boxes, the palladium of lib
erty, wer converted into an engine of op-
pression;" neither is it pleasant to be de-
,,aunced as ssbaSe mercenaries.

We invite the attention Of those citizens
Of four Territory, who were formerly from
Missouri, to the following article from the

published in Lawrence, Kansas Territory,

be denounced as "HIRED RUFFIANS"

carried off our old friends of the Parkyille
Luminary, and which, can only be treated
by missouri Doctors" We call upon the
faculty to examine this case, decide upon
the remedy, and appoint nurses, to see that
the directions are properly complied with.

Ieg- The busiest place IN the Territory
at this time, is IN the city of Atchison.
Several hundred mechanics and laborers
are daily employed in putting up substan-
tial buildings, grading our streets, making
a levee, improving lots, and thousand
other things which men can work at. No
person has time to talk with you. If you
should happen to meet friend on, the

go-a-headative spirit manifested by the me-
chanics of our place, it speaks well for their
industry, but not half 50 Ieud as the num-
Der of houses they are daily adding to our
city. Other towns n the Territory may
boast of their rapid growth, but we chal-
lenge any of them TO show a greater

There is a Point at which For
bearaMce ceases to be a Virtue.

The people of the slaveholding States
are of all men in the Union the most for
bearing. Our Territory has furnished
conclusive evidence on this point. Not
only have the people of Missouri permitted
the emisssaries of the abolitionists to pass
unmolested through the whole extent Of
their State, proclaiming On their way their
purpose to be to drive shareholders from
Mi ssouri-to steal their slaves, and to ex-
clude them from settlement in Kansas, but
the emigrants from slaveholding States
in Kansas with no law to restrain them
have suffered Reeder and his servile min
ions to remain among them, to organise
in their midst secret associations for their
expulsion, to threaten them with violence.
Though with the numerical strength and
physical courage, not only to drive Reeder
and his secret band from the Territory, but
to hang them as high as Hannah, not half
so high as they merit,) they have borne
with them, content to rule them at the bal
lot box. They have, in despite of Reed
er's cunning devices TO disfranchise them,
quietly carried by overwhelming majori-
ties two elections-deterlnined to rely on
their legal rights for their protection
During all this time there has been hardly
an instance of brawl. It is true that on
one OF two occasions the patience of some
honest man has been exhausted by the i'm
pudence of abolitionists and thrashing
has been the result We think it possible
it might have been better had there been
mere frequent instances OF their character.
We are not sure but that a hemp cord
might have been in some eases, as in that
| of the negro stolen lately at Lawrence,
we'll applied. How much longer is their
patience to be tried? How much more tc
be borne2 Let the Emigrant Aid Socie-
ties reflect before they decide how far they
will Try US. We make no threats, butt is
known that good natured men are of al
the most determined when aroused.

LinuOr Agency. &c.

Mr.. Isaac G. White, of the firm of Keller,
Farnsley g. Co., Druggists, has been ap-
pointed by the Board of Commissioners, the
sole agent of Vanderburgh Co., for the sale
of liquors, under the new law. He has at
once commenced acting as such. This is an
excellent appointment and will give very
general satisfaction.
We here wish to make one remark-and
that is we hope the agent will allow no man
to impose on him TO get liquor for improper
purposes, even if that man comes endorsed
with an order of physician. We now
mean for what the agent may pal pably see is
purpose not within the meaning of the law
We have had our attention called to this by
the circumstance of being present yesterday
morning, when a hard drinking man Of La
masco city came to the liquor agency with a
the agent an order for that amount from a
physician of Lamasco! There is no neces-
sity for comment here. For the time being,
the liquor was very properly refused, till fur
ther inquiries could be made. Now this thing
had better be nipped right in the bud. II
this trembling topper needed liquor. he need
ed it by the dose, and from physicians
hand, but not by the gallon to take home
and swill in the presence of his miserable
family. We hope the agent will promptly de-
cline filing all such orders, no matter who
NAV he the physiciap who sends them. This
law must be tried.

ion his politics, and submit himself in tempo
raj matters to Priestly dominion; we say,
that all who believe in these things. have a
right and should belong to this American
party--for they are Americans, approving
the fundamental doctrines of the party, and
they can belong to no other party. They
would be no more, and no less, if they were
technically Know Nothings; for Know Moth
ings are neither more nor less than Ameri-
cans-believing in these same doctrines. To
give efficiency to the incipient organization
of the American party, and to insure security
in it's weak and early days, from the cunning
and treachery of old party leaders, the Know
Nothing organization was most valuable and
potent-as it will hereafter be, as principal
instrument in executing the fairly express
ed will of the same party. Its peculiarties
nobody endorses, or can be held responsible
for, but those who choose to become members
of the Order. 1t is the Old Guard-ever
ready for service against sectlonallsm, and
the evils arising from the influx of redun-
dant emigration, with an alien faith, from
the old world. 1t co-operates cheerfully
with ali who sympathize with it's objects and
principles; and stops to inquire the tenure of
no mans service, so long as he is true to the
American standard. 1t is an easy service;
and between it and sectionalism, no lover of
his country can hesitate for a moment how
to decide.

Steamer Fashion Sunk.

The Louisville and st. Louis packet
Fashion, while on her way from Louisville,
ran into the Indiana bank of the river, at
Gen. Lanes old farm, yesterday morning at
about o'clock, and Immediately sunk. Di-
rectly she struck the bank, she swung around,
settled down careening over toward the river.
She was crowded with passengers, who had
no difficulty in stepping on shore with their
baggage. No lives were lost. The sun was
up, and bat light fog prevailing at the time
of the accident We have been assured by
passengers, who came down yesterday morn
ing in wagons, that the fog was too light to
be in any possible manner the cause of the
accident. A man on shore feeding his
horses, saw the steamer aiming directly to-
ward the shore, and could plainly perceive
her pilot at the wheel, thus proving the fog
had nothing to do with the disaster. The
boat run about twenty feet up the bank, in
an angle of forty-ive degrees, leaving her
marks in the dirt. but slid down in the re-
bound. She soon careened so much that her
chimnies fell overheard. She struck about
four miles below Newburg.
The Fashion was about four and a half
years old, and has been running almost con-
stantly in the Louisville and ST. Louis trade
She had the honor of having made the
quickest trip ever made from st. Louis to
Evansville. She was owned by the Gin
cinnati mail company, and insured. She
has been lately under the command of Capt.
Reed.
LArER.-Since writing the foregoing. we
have visited the wreck, twelve miles above
by river, and six miles by land. Capt. Reed
was busly engaged in saving everything
from the wreck that could be moved. ALI
the furniture of the boat, with the plunder of
emigrants, &C., was piled up on the river
bank. Nothing has been lost but little
freight in the hold. The boat is a total loss.
The machinery may be saved. 1t is suppos-
ed the whole forward bottom of the boat has
been stove in. The chimneys have fallen
overheard. The steamer lies very much ca
reened. We are informed by the officers of
the Fashion that she was running through a
heavy bank of fog just before she struck
When the shore was discovered, she was
running too fast for the efforts to stop her
headway to be of avail. She struck the
steep bank with great force. TO say the
least of it, there was great imprudence on
the part of tie pilot in running at the rate oi
twenty miles an hour in fog of this kind.

ONE OF THE CAUSES correspondent Of
the Newark Advertiser is showing how the
liquor bill, was defeated in the New Jersey
Legislature says:
Gone cause of this is said to have been the
disgraceful conduct Of some females who were
In the gallery, the day bsfore, when the bill
was defeated.
"At the announcement of the vote they
disfgured their pretty lips by Kissing. Sub
sequently, one Of them in the gallery, exhib.
tied her indignation in q manner not very
admirable, by folding up copy of the liquor
bill and launching il at the head of Mr.. Allen,
who was prominent in opposing the bill.
"After the adjournment of the Senate still
greater violation of lady like behavior was
perpetrated. Mr.. Bonnet, Of Sussex, was re.
quested to step to the bar and be introduced
to some ladies. On complying with this re
quest, an intoxicated old woman was showed
forward, and one Of the ladies ssid to Mr.. B.,
you have assisted to defeat this bill, now
smell Of this woman's breath, and see whst
will be the result of Jour action Mr. B.
replied in Q manner which made the self.
styled ladies blush for their conduct"

The City Hall-The Post 0face-Ths Federal
Court

The proposed new government BUILDINGS for
the United States Courts and Post Office, and
their location, has created much interest and
excited considerable discussion among our cit.
liens. The resolution of the City Councils,
looking to the possibility of joint stock con.
Germ with the General Government, in the
erection of new City Hall, and providing &C.
comodations for the Post Office and the United
States Courts therein breaches plan of which
We totally and entirely disapprove Our City
Hall, when erected, shouid be solely the pro.
perty OF the city, and reserved wholly for city
uses. The city of Baltimore should neither be
under obligations to the Genera al Government,
Tor the erection Of It's City Hall, nor bound to
share its occupation with them. Besides this
the Post Once should not be removed from it's
present location: it is the most central and
convenient which could possibly DO selected:
and, moreover, should not be separated from
the Custom House. They naturally REQUIRE
to be near each other-and their being placed
rs at present, in one b1ilding, is great pub
lie convenience. The building now occupied
by them, is sufficiently large, or, if it is not
mere no dithsulty in enlarging it, and ad.
olng greatly to its appearance and effec'.
The Merchants Bank might be removed, and
the west wing Of the Exchange extended to
Second Street-with front similar to that
portion now occupied by the Bank-which
would indeed, make it a noble and imposing
edifce, most convenient in it's location and
ample in it Accommodations for all the purpos-
Is Of Custom House and Post Office. As for
the United States Courts, to place them in the
new City Hall, removed ait will be from a
proximity to the other courts, would be highly
inconvenient. The Federal Courts should be
provided for by the erection of a suitable
building upon the site of tho old Masonic Hall,
or in the neigh borhood, where they now are,
and where the lawyers, their Offices, and the
other courts of Justice are new congregated.
Teere can be no difficulty in obtaining suit
able spot for the purpose
We are highly gratifed at the passage Of
the measure authorizing the President to secure
permanent accommodations for The Post Office
and the United States Courts, in our city, but
hope our City Councils will enter into no Joint
stock arrangement for their erection.-Sunday
