With the exception of Il few eases Of measels,
among the children The citizens are enjoying |
excellent health. Still there's exists necessi- |
" for caution. Remove all the loathsome rub
Dish in the immediate neigh borhood of your
dwellings, and stores, and if need b., sprinkle
lime thereon.
We hear OF no eases of sickness on the
boats. We hope we may be able to report the
same good news two months hence; but as the
warm season is coming on, and the season for
irui, is approaching, we are apprehenslve that
unless great caution is exercised, sickness will
set in upon US. Use caution.
SPEECu OF SENATOR SvMNER.-We give in to-
days paper, another instalment of Mr.. Summers
Speech, asking no apology for the space it oc-
cupirs, AMI believing it Will be generally read.
50 searching IN analysis of the subject under
discussion, we have rarely perused, and with the
publicity the document will gain by the assault;
the honorable Senator, the South will find
that in the person of the coward Brooks, brute
force is not 50 profitable rs it imagi Certain
portions Of the speech will compare with any
thing that ever emanated from the lips of Web
ster, Sheridan, Pitt or Burke. Here is one ex-
tract speaking of Massachusetts, he says -
Massachusetts, honored Commonwealth, that
gives me the privilege to plead for Kansas on
this floor, knows Der rights, and will firmly MAIN
tain them to the end. This is not the first time
in history that her public acts have been ar
ragned, AMI that her puhl;c men have been ex-
posed to contumely. Thus was it when, in the

fruits you al enjoy. But never yet has she oc-
cupied so lofty position as at this moment. BY
the intelligence of her population-by the
sources of her induStry-bv her commerce.,
clcaving every wavc--bv her manufactures, va
rious human skill--hy her institutions of
benevolcnce, various human sulerins--by the
pages of her scholars and historians-by the
voices of her poets and orators. she is now
erting an influence more subtle and Commanding
than ever Misunderstanding her far-dartng RAYS
wherever ignorance, wretchednesS, or wrong pre-
vali, and flashing light even upon those who travel
far 10 perSecute her. Such is Massachusetts. and
| am proud to believe that you may well at
tempt, with puny arm, to topple down the earth
rooted, heaven kiSsn. granite which crowns the
historic sod of Bunker Hill. II change her fixed
resolves for Freedom everywhere, and especially
now for Freedom in Kansas.
Other more scathing but none finer pas
sases will be noted by the reader as he follows
the thoughts of the eloquent orator. Rsad the
Speech.
