AMERICAN FISHING VESsELs-Hcw THEIR

Inc United States Coasql at Halifax. N. S
mas informed the Treasury Department of
practice which has recently been adopted by the
American hshing vessels on the coasts of the
brltlSh Frovlnces, which has produced much
personal distress, as well as Inconvenience of
many Kinds. When ary Of their crews become
SICK or IN any way disabled, these vessels run
into the first port they can make in the Proyn-
ceS and put the men on shore-leaving them 10
the charities Of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
giving them certificates addressed to the Amer
IcaR Consul, requesting him TO relieve them
and send them home. A number of the men
SO put OR shore at various Outports have reach
ed Halifax In 4 state of great destitution and
suffering.
II may be important TO the owners of fishing
vessels TO understand their legal liabilities in
such cases.
No part of the crews Of vessels licensed for
the coasting trade or the fisheries can be law
fully discharged in foreign country, either
with or against their consent If nut on shore
they legally remain part of the crew of the
vessel, which is bound for their wages for the
entire voyage, as well as for the necessary sup
plies, medical attendance, &c, which NAV be
required for such individuals of her crew.
This liability of vessels and their owners for
supplies furnished on shore has been fully es-
tabiished by decisions of the Courts of the Uni
ted States. (See Cd Mason, 54I)
If masters of vessels put the men belonging
to them on shore before the contracts with them
have expired, such men carry with them the
credit ofthe vessel for all necessary supplies.

THE DIFFICULTIES IN KANSAS.

The following dispatch communicates intel.
ligence Of occurrences which are the natural
results Of the Frcesoi efforts to stife the voice
of pro-slavery residents and fraudulently dedi-
cate that young Territory to the fell embraces
of Abolition:
"PoLITIcAL TROUBLE IN KAEsAs--GovERSoR
REEDER REPUDIATED.-St. Louis, April 25.-
The people Of Kansas have issued proclama-
ton declaring Governor Reeder incompetent
for the position he holds, and that his appoint
ment, without the consent Of the governed, is
an arbitrary exercise of power.
Gan election has been ordered at Leayen-
worth on the 28th for his successor. Dele.
gates will meet on that day and select suita.
bic person for territorial governor whose name
viii be forwarded to the President for the ap.
pointment."
If Governor Reeder is suitable man to ad-
minister the affairs Of Kansas, why is il that
SO soon after his Inauguration as Governor he
should become odious to the people of that
Territory? Every one who appreciated the
excitement attendant on the passage of the
Nebraska Kansas bill, and who heard of the
lawless and fraudulent means resorted TO by
enc hoOhtiohlSto W stltle iOr lne people OF
Kansas the question of slavery, through the
agency of associations denominated Emigrant
Aid Societies, knew, that critical condition Of
affairs would speedily arise that would demand
administrative talents of the highest order.
Governor Reeder was supposed 10 posses these
qualities. This opinion, however has proved
to be a mistaken opinion. Had he been the
man for the crisis, we would not have heard of
such occurrences as those related above. That
the people Of Kansas have the right to appoint
their Governor is a proposition which we are
far from contending for Nor do we suppose
that they under the influence even Of strong
excitement, would claim such power. But
they, like the people of the States, have
right peaceably to assemble and petition for a
redress Of grievances. They have right TO
meet and ask the President 10 remove n Gov.
ernor whom they consider unfit to be at their
head. They have the right to recommend to
the President the appointment of some other
person as their Governor. 1t will then remain
with the President to refuse, or comply with
their requests.
Iii not presumable that the people Of Kansas
intend revolution. All that they desire is
change in their chief magistrate, by peaceful
and constitutional means.
We are sorry to learn, from the Missouri pa.

THE INsIDIOUs POLICY OF THE

In yesterdays U,sion we find a most insi-
dious attack upon Judge Bayly. The Union,

ing us of the probable success Of almost every
candidate for Congress. in the State, but this
distinguished gentleman. God knows how sin.
cerely we desire the return Of every Democratic
representative to the next Congress particu-
larly many Of them who arc our personal and
political friends; but we blush for journal of
respectable standing, that will take so unmanly
a course as to strike at man to whom the
whole country owes as much as TO Thomas H..
Bayly, of Virginia. Either the Union has
neUer received letter from the Accomac Dis
trict, achic is not rery probable, it refuses to
recognize the fact that Judge Bayly is running
absolutely without opposition, as the Demo
cratic candidate, and by consequence without
the slightest possibility Of deteatl Is it the
organ Of the Administration an this instance I
None desire and more sincerely desire the sue
cess of the Democratic party in the coming
canvass in Virginia, than ourseves--none
more than Judge Bayly hnself--but we would
scorn ourselves, if we were to affect not to APP
prehend the paltry spite indicated in this piece
which scarcely would be justified towards a
a political adversary, instead Of political
friend. Fight fair, neighbor for you can't fool

Bay The Abolition papers have started, and
are circulating the rumor, that the pro-sIavery
people of Kansas have threatened the life Of
Governor Reeder, and that he is in great danger
Of assassination. Other newspapers have IN
Willingly repeated these rumors. There is not
a particle Of foundation for them. There il
not shadow Of evidence TO show that personal
injury to Governor Reeder has ever been medi-
tated. They are dissatisfied with his admins
tration, and want TO get rid Of him. That is
all.
Abolition falsehoods and frauds have been
in the statements Of the abolitionists They
would say or do anything to bring diseredil and
odium upon pro-slavery men.

SENATOR WILSON AND THE KNOW
NOTHINGS.-


The Wing publishes ridiculous story, to
the effect that Wilson of Massachusetts, is de-
nouncing Know-nothingism as inimical TO
Abolitionism. In the first place, we affirm that
Wilson has done no such thing, and we defy
the Whig to prove the fact. We want full
and authentic report of his language, and not a
few extracts from an abolition newspaper.
Does the Whig deny that Wilson is now a
member Of the Knownothing Order2 If not,
his presence and association red Gems the Order
from the suspicion Of pro-slavery tendency.
But what if Wilson did utter the language
which the Whig attributes 10 him2 Would it
not be in accordance with the vowed prin-
cipes and habitual practice OF Kn 2w-nothing-
ism, for him to make false decla rations for
political effect? We have had abu udant evi.
dence Of the anxiety Of the Known, ,things in
Massachusetts,, for the defeat OF the Democracy
in Virginia.
To promote this object so essential 10 the
success Of the Order, Wilson would readily
feign an apprehension of the possible pro-
slavery tendency Of Know.nothingism. Blu,
his words are nothing. His conduct is co ncln.
sive of his real convictions. He is still in full
fellowship with the Order, and is its rcpr,sen.
tative in the Senate Of the United States.
From this day until the election Yankee in
genuity viii be engaged in the production Of
all sorts Of imposturesp but the people Of Vir-
.ginia will hardly be deceived by any such i'm
probable story as that Wilson distrusts Know.

by the elopement Of married gentleman with
young lady Of great personal attractions,
and the daughter of one Of the richest resi-.

thus absconded has been doing business in
New York, and has left a wife and child in
Orange, unprotected and uncared for. Previous
to leaving he borrowed Of various business men
sums ranging from $500 to $4,000, in all 10 the
amount Of $4,000. 1t il unknown whether

whether they are still in this country, but we

ANOTHER DARING RoBBERY BY CnLoRoroRM
Mr.. Jacob Fees was robbed on the night Of the
Sd instant, at his res~ehce in Davies county,
Iowa, Of eight hundred dollars in gold twenty
dollar pieces. 1t seems that the window was
raised, and small rolls Of paper saturated with
chloroform or,opium thrown into the room, by
which the house was filed with smoke, and
deep sleep came over all the inmates. The
money was deposited between the straw and
feather bed, on which Mr.. and Mrs Fees we're
sleeping. Linen cloths, wet with chloroform,
we're placed over the faces Of the old lady and
gentleman, and thus they we're kept uncon
scious while the money was taken from under
them. There we're at the time five persons in
the house, and all slept till an unusually late
hour the next morning.

The PoPuLAR MOVEMENT WEsTwARD.--All
the lines leading to the West arc crowded with
passengers. The movement in that direction
is quite extraordinary. The want Of employ.
ment, the high rates Of provisions, and the
better prospects in the new States, may be as
signed rs the causes. Iowa, Wisconsin, Min.
nesota, Nebraska, and Kansas, are the chief
points ofdestination. The Evansville Inquirer
states that boats passing that place, on their
way to 81. Louis, are literally black with pas.
sengers and their effects en- ro1tc for Kansas
All kinds Of mechanics are in demand, ospe-
cially house-carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers,
and painters. The West is indeed the modern
land Of promise. Thither all who are active
and enterprising, and who can find nothing to
do in the Atlantic cities, should direct their
footsteps. --BaH american.
