the course Of conversation, they made mutual

Park had escaped, and left his scapegoat to
suffer for both, he wished the meeting to de-

was ior mercy; not that he he'd any excuses
TO offer for Patterson, for he despfsed him az
strongly as any man could but that Patter-
sons wife, throughout the morning, had
hung 10 him like leech that she now held

taken and a small majority went IN favor Of
the prisoner he was, therefore, set at large.
The following resolutions were then offered,
and voted on sngly, and not dissenting
voice was heard on the ground. Almost
every one voted in the affirmative and they
voted with " VIM" TOO, that showed they
were in earnest:

The English Press on the american Par
~. We noticed tly an article from
the London Times, commenting in favorable
terms upon the recent manifesto of The New
York branch of the American party. The
liverpool Mercury, of recent date, also has
an editorial upon the same subject, comnen-
ting as follows;
ave cannot deny that this grand politi-
cal document IS significant OF a serious
CRISIS in the destiny Of the United States
That the Know Nothing party have a
chieyed such a triumph over oil the old fac
ti1ns IA conclusive proof that there was
something wrong in the political condition
of that great republic; but whether their
triumph will be productive OF good or of
evil, IN the long run is problem which
time alone can solve. That every native A
menean should have felt annoyed by seeing
hosts of adventures docking into the land,
aud not only giving factious tone 10 domcs-
tic legislation, but undertaking foreign con-
quests IN spite of the Government Itself, -
not surprisingi and herein, we suspect, lies
the secret of the success whcl, has crown
e6 the "know Nothing" movement. Still,
the principles upon which the movement was
ayoSedy based are rather perlous for a
dominant party to adopt in such a country as
the United States. Ii they could stop the
growth Of the Immigrant party, they might
check the abuses Of which they complain;
but this Is as much an impossibhhy TO them
as it would be to attempt 10 diminish the area
of their continent.
Immigration will continue IN spite OF PEN
alties or persecution, or iega. Disqualified
ton. OF any other disadvantages neither
Irish. nor Swiss, nor Germans will be deter
red from seeking new homes ia the new
world and is It not a matter worthy of Sc
rious consideration whether il will answer a.
ny good purpose to prescribe them The
great misfortune of the United States has
always been that there has been social war
between the white man and the black man
raging in the bosom of the country and
would il be wise to superadd to this curse
war al races--a war between the old set
tier and the new settler? Would not the
latter class complain that the former class
had entered into a conspiracy 10 extlrguish
them, and at last resort TO coniederacy
for their own protection? Such n state OF
society would be dreadful anywhere but in
the United States, where there Is 80 much q
Independence Of action that il Is not Al sii
strange for parties, or even Tor individuals, 70
take the law into their own hands, Il would
be horrible"

The Slavocracy against the
Liberty of the Press.

Below we give the Slayocroiic account Of
the oyerslaugh, upon pubic press, by the
Slavocrats Of Missouri. The Bellows Falls
Gazette states that Mr.. ParkS, whose proper
iy has been destroyed by mob, is YER
moutcr Instead of being an abotionisi,"
the n Y. Tribune states that he is a slave
holder. We hope the last statement is in
correct. Parks certainly did condemn the
outrages committed in Kansas by Atcheson
and his crazy crew, and il is for this that his
press has been destroyed, and his life is
threatened.

q" Kansas 10 now open to the people oithc
South to come and settle and bring their
slaves with them. II another election is de-
cded upon. the very same result will follow.
Gov. Reeder ought clearly to see that the
people of Missouri and the sSouth are not
willing TO have Kansas free state, and be-
fore they will submit % such ouirages upon
their rights, they viii spill their blood"
Savery hiss a right 10 thus glory in It's
shame, for IFS triumph IA Kansas Is complete.
J It's triumph. however, achieved by fraud,
and can only afford the ac.ors IN il tempor-
airy qualification. No Legislation which may
flow from a usurpation SO bralen as that
which secured the result thus exultingly her.
aided, can receive the sanction Of Congress.
Slavery itself cannot afford to take advant-
age of the power which nonresident Mis-
sourians have thus given ii in Kansas. A
Constitution framed by Legislature SO
chosen would be wholly destitute both Of
moral and legal force. The attempt to en-
force it would arouse spirit through the
whole North which would speedily sweep
Slavery from every inch of territory over
which Congress has jurisdiction, aud render
1t as inendless and impotent as 1t is now in
sJlent and vile.
Every rejecting mind must see the conse-
quences likely To flow from tins Missouri in
cursion. II Missouri can interfere with the
elections in Kansas, why may not Illinois,
Wisconsin. Michigan, Ohio, New York and
n. England Aud If the contest should as
sumo this shape, riot and bloodshed would
be inevitable. And, if there be no other re-
mcdy, and the system of colonization 10
sanctioned, is IT extravagan. to suppose that,
when a pro-Slayery Constitution shall be
submitted for ratification Missouri coloniza-
tion will be met by colonization from the
North IL Missouri can send her thousands
into Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, DC, can send
their tens thousands. 1t requires no prophet
10 foresee the consequences which would
How from such conflict. 1t is for Slavery
and her representatives to say whether, by
ooncedIng the legality of the late election,
such a collision shall be invited. - albany

a Dreadful Tragedy The London Times
lays before It's readers the particulars of a
horrible affair which recently occurred near
the Dutch settlement of Transyaal, at the
Cape Good Hope, aud which, we think, can
only be paralleed in atrocity among the
achievements of modern times by the ex-
plot of Marshal St Arnaud in Algiers,
when he smoked and burned to death thous
ands OF his barbarian opponents who had
sought refuge IN deep and spacious cave
In the case of the Cape Good Hope, the
Cailre Indians had murdered, in Octoebr
last, under circumstances of great barbara
~. ten or twelve men and women of the
Dutch settlement. Immediately General
Preiorious raised an army OF five hundred,
and, accompanied by Commander General
Potgieter, proceeded on an expedition to re-
yenge the blood OF their victims.
Aiter an absence of several weeks, they
reached some remarkable subtenanean cav
erns, hall mile in length, and from three to
tive hundred feet in width, where the Cafires
had entreached themselves Upon his ar
rival at the spot, General Pretorious attempt
ed TO blast the rocks above the caverns, and
thus crush the savages beneath the ruins
The peculiar character of the stone, however,
rendered this scheme mpraetcable, aud ne
tLen stationed his men around the mouth of
the caves, and butt up walls in front of
them. After few days, many Of the wo-
men and children were driven by hanger and
thirst FROM their hiding places. aud we're al
lowed to escapei but every uan who came
forth was shot dead by their rifles.
