neither insensible to the negligence nor

mindful of him, until at length he wholly
disregarded the frequency of his threats
One morning the cattle were ordered to
be mustered for review, and when the
commanding officer, in going along the

animal roared cut as if to attract his at

Is Alcohol Foodi

We commend the following reasons which we
| take from Halls Journal of Health, one of the
ablest Medical Journals in the cou.try. to the
especial attention of the Milwaukee Ne.cs. The
argument on arsenic is precisely the mode of ar
gumeniation adapted to the logic of the Ne..s:
ALCOHOL is NOT poIsos, BUr rooD."
| Ills mode of argument is literally thus
| l. Food cannot be poison
2. Food is that which gives force. motive now
| ). Alcohol gives motive power
4 Therefore alcohol is food and hence cannot
be poison.
BY parity of reasoning, may easily ar
rive at the reduco adsurdum that arsenic is food
/ ARSENIC is NOT PorsoS, But FOOD
| l. Food cannot be poison
| .. Food is that which gives force motive
power,
| Arsenic gives force, motive power
4. Therefore arsenic is food, and hence cannot
be poison
| 1t is an uncontradcted fact, that the mountain
eers of Hungary and Alsatia are able, by eating
a small piece of arsenic, to perform feats of
mountain scaling with an ease, vigor and sue
cess, which, without the arsenic would be i'm DOS
sible; bat having used il for while, a prema ure
death is inevitable; and the more speedy, if its
employment is abandoned.
| That alcohol is not poison. but food is the
purest conjecture, built on the falacy that food
is force. Such is not its definition As we'll
might we say that laughing gas was food for un-
der its influence man has the strength of num-
bers, more proper definition, and, far IS we
can now see, unobjectionable, is, food is tha,
whose continued use, alone, sustains life, main
tains health, and supplies muscular power. The
continued use of only alcohol does neither, bu
will inevitably and in every csse cause death
within ten days.

SLAVES IN KANSAS
Within month past there has been a
large accession to the Slave population of
Kansas. In this immediate neigh bor-
hood several new corners have settled
and In most instances brought several
Slaves with them. This is what we like
to see, they cannot be brought into the
Territories in too large numbers, for our
rich hemp lands will give sufficient en-
ployment to the slave, and amply remu
nerate the owner Come on with your
slaves, our rich lands invite settlers from
all sections of the South
THE LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED.
We see there is a determination on the
part of the abolition papers at Lawerance
and faction who will act and think with
them, and resist the laws passed by onr
We now call attention to
the officers in that section of the Terri |
tory to the matter, and request them to
perform their duty. If resistance. as is
is made, then let a sufficient
number be summoned, though it should |
take every law and order man in the |
Territory, and the offenders be brought |
to justice. Atchison county pledges five
hundred good and true men. who are viii
ling to assist in enforcing the laws, tho
death should overtake them in the dis
charge of their duty Other portions of
the Territory will furnish their quota if
need, and this rebellion must and will be |
quashed If blood must flow, let it run
