The Huntsville Recorder of Feb. %, 1854

cures that have come under our observation, has

most valuable combination for the cure of sore

TNHIS FERRY has been in successful oper-

been the great crossing point for the Oregon,
California and Utah Emigrant who came by
Hannibal and Palmyra; there being a State Road
directly through, and the latitude precisely the
same. Our boat is a good one, and we have
plenty of hands engaged at all times, to work it.

when all can cross without detention. The
ferry landing is the best on the River, there be-
ing at all times deep water from shore to shore,
and very narrow. Our banks have no wide
sand beach where stock can mire down, being
dry at all times.
To the Emigrant to Kansas we say, this is
the place to cross, as when here the distance
Ito other points in the Territory, is nearer than
from crossing places above or below.

DEI.AW AREi

THE Town of Delaware is situated in Kan
i sas territory, on the south side Of the Mis-
souri, river, three miles above the line of the
Delaware reserve, and ten miles below Leayen-
worth city. This town was laid off and located
in February last, on tract of land densely tim
bered, easy OF access from the surrounding
country and situated favorablY for health: al
ready there are number of houses going up.
1t has the following resources as good and
prominent point:
FirstIy-A Good Landing.
The Missouri river at this point is compress
ed within a narrow space, the channel is re-
markably deep on the Delaware side, and wash
es for mile above and below, the Kansas shore,
thus affording at all times safe and secure
landing for steamers.
secondIy-Timber I'm Abundance
The tract of land on which the town is laid
out, is covered with valuable timber, for build
ing purposes, besides this, there Is on the oppo-
site side of the river large bottom, heavily
timbered with oak, ash and walnut.
Thirdly-Its Position.
This town has on the Kansas side of the Eiv-
er supporting it, large district OF the very best
lands in the Territory, while on the opposite
side of the river there is large and fertile bot
tom, teeming with population. This bottom il
of itself sufficient to sustain town of large
size. This is the most accessible point from
which the Delaware nation of Indians can pro-
cure their supplies. Delaware is tho nearest
and most accessible point at which the country
on the Kansas river can do their receiving and
forwarding business. There are great num-
Der of towns on the Kansas that viii find 1t to
their interest to make this place their shipping
point, among them we would name Osawkes,
Calhoun and others. As there is a good ferry
at this point, emigrants travelling to Kansas Ter
ritory on the great State road from ST. Joseph
to st. Louis, will find that this is the proper
point at which to enter the territory, as BY this
means they avoid great deal Of unnecessary
travel.
- g al & n.
This location is high and commanding, hav.
ing no stagnant water near to generate disease
from its streets, there is presented to the eve
spendid view of the Missouri river for miles
above and below the town, the country in the
vicinity presenting view at once pleasing and
romantic.
| Every inducement will be given to mechanics
| to make Delaware the place of their choice.
We ask each person to examine the place. The
merchant will find on an examination, that
| Delaware is obliged to command trade moi
| second to any town in the Territory, from such
word We ask for Delaware an EXAMINATION BY
| the public.

impair the vested rights of foteign-born citi-
zens. But these things too many of them
seem not to know, or understand, or appreci-
ate-lnd consequently they are, in moments of
excitement, too likely to be guided by blind
impulse of jealousy or revenge towards those
whom they have been taught to regard as enc
mics, though in truth they are Jriends-the
friends of all, native or foreign-born, who, IS
American citizens, have an interest in the flu
ture welfare and safety of this Government
The authors of such infammatory SANDER
and calumny as has been heaped upon the
American party, both in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, are primarily responsible for all out
RACES like this, to which such indefensible de-
famation of large bodies of their respectable
fellow-citizens naturally leads. Men who, like
the members Of the American party, have
been politically traduced and illuminated to
the utmost limit that the English language
will express, are not likely to be in the best
mood for exercising that charity which smt-
eth not when smitten. We cannot wonder
that the Americans of Louisville smote those
who smote them.
Whoever were the aggressors, we trust THE
LAW will visit upon them its full measure of
retributive justice.

The Case of Passmore Williamson.

The Tribune gives the following reasons for the
agency of Mr. Williamson in the abduction of Mr..
Wheeler's slaves:
'There exists in Philadelphia at the present time
an institution chartered by the State, known as the
Pennsylvania Abolition Society, which announces
for its object the abolition of slavery and the re
lief of free people of color held illegally in bondage"
This society received its charter in 1884, and its
first and second presidents were Benjamin Franklin
aud DR.. Rush. Since the time when it was first
established the members of this society have been
constant workers in the cause Of humanity, and its
officers have always taken active part in aiding
the progress of emancipation. Now, as the secre-
tary of that society," Mr.. Williamson received note,
informing him of the illegal detention of certain
persons by man claiming to be their master, and
asking him-always in his official cayacity-to lend
his assistance in rescuing them from bond age. His
compliance in with this request, therefore, was not
only in accordance with the best instincts of his
nature, but it became an imperative duty, conse-
quent upon his official position in the society which
he was bound in honor fulfil"
Need we again say that thisi not the point at is
sue. 1t is charged, and apparently proved, that
Mr.. Williamson was party to the forcibIe removal
of the slaves which, it is claimed, is a wrong and
he refuses, when the law proposes to examine the
justice of the allegation, to comply with its requis
tons. His official connection with the society
could not make it his imperative duty" to defy the
law: and, by the Tribune's own showing, the
society in question did not contemplate the en-
ployment of force and the defiance of the law. Let
the case be fairly stately. y Com. Ad0.

The correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer,

proof that Mr.. Wheeler our Minister to Central
America, sympatbised with Fabens and Kinney in
their enterprise, and held correspondence with
them on that subject. The correspondent also in
Inmates that Mr.. Marcoleta the Nicaraguan Minis
ter, had knowledge of this correspondence, and
will probably, on the strength of it, demand the
recall of Mr.. Wheeler.
