The sauatter SOVEREIGN.

May be found in this weeks paper the
prospectus of paper bearing the above
title, which will be published in a very
short time in Atchison, K. t., by our old
friends, DR.. J. Fl. Stringfellew, formerly of
Brunswick, and Rob. S. Kelley, the editor
of the Democratic Platform, published in
Liberty, until short time since. We will
endorse them as being sound on the Slave
ry question, and being intimately acquain-
ted with the writings of one of the pIopri-
etors, Mr.. R. S. Kelley, we would say to
the pro-slavery men, they will find in him
bold, fearless and able advocate of their
rights; we have been acquainted with DR..
Stringfellow for 8 or 9years, and we know
him to be gentleman of fine accomplish
ments; though having never seen pro-
duction from his pen, yet we are satisfied
from his general intelligence that his edito-
rials will be highly appreciated. We re.
commend the "Squatter Sovereign" to the
people of Kansas and Upper Missouri

I had rather be Right, than President.

I had rather be Right, than President.
The great and good man who uttered this
sentiment; never uttered nobler one. Al
though we differed with him on great lead
ing political questions; we never doubted
for moment his honesty and patriotism.
We believe that Henry Clay, always did
what he elieyed to bbe right; and had it
been necessary, would have sacrificed the
Presidency. rather than have done what he
believed to be wrong. Thank God, there
are living examples of men, who after a
life Of honest toll; earning for themselves,
high place in the councils Of the nation;
have kno,ringly sacrificed them all to that
noble sentiment. Who is it, that can real
ly appreciate the bitterness of that sacri-
flee. After having gained, step by step
almost the highest round in ambitions lad
der; thinking their feet securely fixed, sud-
denly feel those slippery steps giving way
beneath them, with an almost certainty
that in the fall, they would be crushed tc
rise no more; to feel too. that the crushing
fall might have been averted, by only PAN
dering to fanaticisln, by only permitting a
wrong already done, to remain! Who
but those have felt the sting, can realise its
intensity. But we are proud to know we
have such men. No other country, save
our own glorious Republic could produce
such wholesale examples Of honor, and
probity.
Those noble spirits from the non-slave-
holding States, who aided in passing
the Nebraska Kansas bill, and have been
overwhelmed for time only we hope, }
by the fiery tide of fanaticism, are noble
exernplars of the truth of our caption. AL
honor to them. Should the South ever re.
fuse to acknowledge her debt of gratitude
when opportunity offers; may she fall be-
fore the same fell tide. which swept them
from their high places.
Just here, question suggests ITSELF
WHY is it, that at the South, these tremen.
dous revolutions never occur? Men are
said to be alike, everywhere; to be actuated
by the same kind of impulses. We never
see the slaveholding States initiating then
entire congressional delegations 1t GER
tainly cannot be, that their representation
is so pure, that it never errs! Or that the
people are so corrupt, that they care not il
their servants do wrong2 There is one
class, who never forgive what they call a
weakness. We have read of Pirates, and
Banditti, who would somehow get the pos
session of being, in whom the seeds o
virtue never coald be destroyed; but if ever
the unfortunate one should be guilty Of the
,geakness of righting wrong, or relieving
the oppressed; woe be to him, their ven
geance never ceased, save with the last life
blood of their victim.

Negro Slavery no Evil.

We conclude the above article, in this
number of our paper; and would advise our
readers, to preserve the three numbers for
future use, as the Report contains Statisti-
cal information on that subject, in more
convenient form than the census Report
The article needs 10 commentator at our
hands. We feel assured that all who have
given it an impartial reading must be con-
vinced of the many baseless assumptions,
upon which so many melting appeals, and
fanatical GRANTS" have been made by the
northern orators, and that Negro Slavery
is not only no Evil, but Blessing to the
White man, and to the Negro.

The Press and Politicians of Missouri

We had hoped that Missouri would no
longer be cursed with Free-soil sympathi-
sers, at least, through any Press within her
borders.
But in looking over some late numbers
of the Statesman, (God save the mark.
and Reporter of Weston. we see that the
old .cloyen foot" still shows itself.
In their reports Of the proceedings in the
Missouri Legislature, great care is taken
by each of them, to report at length, the
speeches of Messrs. Blair, Brown and 9TH
ers, with free-soil proclivities; whilst those
made by the pro-slayery men, are either
not reported at all, or garbled SO that they
seem to be ridiculously used up. lift were
not for the fact that the Republican has a
talented and honest reporter, who gives full
reports on each side, we should be tempted
to think that the pro-slayery men were
very feebly represented in that body. From
the Republicans reports we find however,
that so far from being worsted, the friends
of the South have signally triumphed in
every contest. Reed of Jackson, Carr,
and others, have given Blair, Brown, Ste
phenson and Co.; such dressings as will
not soon be forgotten. Missouri need have
no fear, so long as she isas ably, and faith
fally represented as she now is, by men of
talent and unfinching integrity; though
there be few traitors, who would sell her
to the Abolitionists.
