"Tbe Legislature Of Kansas Territory has
passed an act admitting the Shawnee Indans
TO the nights Of citizenship. They are al
Shareholders. A correspondent of the st
Louis Republican says that the session Is
drawing to a close, and that the Legislature
Is doing up It's business fast. The various
acts OF the Legislature have entirely dis
franchsed the free State settlers. One Of
these gives to the county courts the appoint.
ment of the election officers. The county
courts are all pro-savery. Another act al
lows any man 10 vote, without regard to re-
sldence, on the payment of dollar and the
taking of certain oaths. This admits oil
Missouri. or N fact people from any where
else. But the various enactmenis respecting
slavery make ielons of all the free State
men, and thus deprive them of the rights of
citizenship. The oaths required of them are
10 support the Kansas bill and enforce the
fugitive slave law, which most of them re-
fused to do. Any man may challenge a
voter, and upon such challenge the voter
may be required to take these oaths."
The lnlellegencer can now add another
Characteristic enactment to this list OF enor-
mites. A bill has passed directing the
present Legislature to elect all The officers Of
The Territory including Sheriff., Clerks, AS
SCISSORS, &c, and that the officers thus elect
ed shall continue in office for sir yers.
II would only weaken the enormty of such
an act TO denounce il. The simple state
ment Of the fact is enough to SIR the blood
of free people, and to strengthen the pur-
pose OF those who believe il IS high time TO
prove to these Pro Slavery rufiians that there
is a North. -.Abdny Ere. Journal.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratc) is
ready to tell some truths which it has huher-
to Withheld relative to Scion Borand, now
that he has come out Know Nothing. Ii
says:
"Mr. Scion Borland, editor Of the Little
Rock tArksnsas) Gazette and Democrat, has
taken formal leave of the Democracy and
joined the Know Nothings. Every Demo-
crat in the Union will rejoice over his apos-
tacy, aud say good radiance TO bad rubbish
Borland is the drunken BLACKBOARD who dis
graced his State, his party. his station and
his country by his pugillislic encounters in
the United States Senate, Of which body he
was a member few years ago. His I'M
becoming and indecent behavior in the Sem
ate made him most notorious character
Afterward he was sent to Central America
as Minister, and by his imprudent conduct
got the government into difficulties at Grey
town, II the opposition press was to be be-
lieved. He came home. took the charge of
bogus Democratic paper, and very natursl-
ly relapsed into the sewer of Know Nothing
ISM, which is purifying the Democracy Of
its most unworthy members. Footc Of Mis-
sissippi, Borland of Arkansas, and Clemens
of Alabama, were all in the Senate IN 1850,
and did more to disgrace that body than all
the individuals who we're ever in 1t. from the
formation of the government in 1889 down
TO the present time. They are now all Know
Nothings, and rank among the leaders, in
the Southern and Western States, of that
infamous faction As Texas repudiated
Houston, Alabama the traitor Clemens,
Tennessee the traitor Donaldson. 50 will

Horrible Murder and Suicide.

On Thursday Of last week, a Mr.. Fulton
of Fletcher murdered a Mr.. Chase of the
same town, by stabbrng him with a butcher
knife. We learn that boy of Fulton's had
stolen a melon from Chase's garden, for
which Chase threatened punishment. Full.
ton, the father OF the boy. thereupon went to
Chuse's field, (where Chase and son were
at work attacked Chase and killed him, oad
then pursued Chase's boy, who fortunately
escaped. Search was Immediately made for
Fulton, who was not found until Monday
last, when he was discovered behind a log
heap, within few rods of his house. As
soon as Fulton saw that he was surrounded
and escape impossible. he drew a knife from
his pocket and cut his throat from ear to
ear Such are the facts as reported to us
on good authority and we learn, in add.
ton, that there had, for long time, been a
controversy between Fulton and Chase as
TO the line of their land.

other young man named Keller, aged II ;
all residents of Montreal, left that city few
days since for pleasure excursion. They
took small sail boat and proceeded down the
river st. Lawrence TO the Chambly canal, as
cended the canal to st. Johns, thence procee-
ded through Lake Champlain, making a short
stop at Wesiport To visit some friends. Here
a Young man by the name of Peter Ferris, a
cousin of the young Websters, we believe,
joined the party, and about noon on Monday
last, they left Westport for Ticonderoga-

frai craft carrying all sail before the gale
