A correspondent at Lansing writes
us as follows Of the speech made by
Mr. Peck before the Democratic Club OF
that place on Saturday evening:
Detroit Free Press.
"Mr. Peck had only reached town about
an hour previous, and but few present were
aware of his having returned. He had no
intention of addressing his democratic friends,
not having been advised of the meeting I'M
til he reached home. Yet, such was the ell
thusiastic, nay, almost frantic applause with
which his entrance was greeted, that he was
compelled to take the stand. His speech oc-
cupied upwards of two hours, and was surely
mastery effort, unequaled for copious and
vivid eloquence and unanswerable for convinc-
ING and crushing argument. Black republi-
canism received but little mercy at his hands,
and X. S. BINGHAM, the leader of the fac
ton in this State, and the known author OF
the late attack upon the private character o.
Mr.. Peck, was shown up in his true character
hypocritical demagogue and base liar and
slanderer Never did listen to such scath-
ing rebuke as Mr.. Peck administered to
his detractors Never did [ witness such en-
thusiastic demonstration of applause and APP
prevail The whole thing was a glorious af-
fair. The German SAKE Horn Band volun-
teered their services for the occasion, and con-
tributed much to the interest of the meeting.
Mr.. Peck has consented to address the
Democratic Club again on Saturday evening,
the 23d inst, in order that the democracy of
the neighboring towns may have an opportu-
nifty of hearing him. The Executive Com
mittee have, / believe, invited his excellency,
X. S. Bingham, to be present on the occasion
1t is doubtful, however, whether he will ac-
cept. 4 Detroit Free Press.

Gg- The third grand social entertainment
of the season took place on Friday evening
last, by favor of Mr.. and Mrs. PENNoYER, of
the Washington House. About one hundred
and fifty guests are supposed to have been
present. The utmost good feeling and social
ity prevailed. At least one months genuine
pleasure and real enjoyment seemed to have
been experienced by the numerous guests pre-
sent during that one evening. And what
shall we say of the sumptuous repastprepar-
cd for the occasion, the beautiful decorations
of the table, DC. !? Suffice it to say, that
they even far exceeded the expectations Of
those best acquainted with the liberality with
which Mr.. and Mrs. p. are wont to welcome
their friends to their hospitable mansion.

KANsAs.-A Kansas correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat, recently from the thea
ter of the late disturbances, reports all quiet
in the Territory. No further outrages were
feared until the meeting of the Legislature
at Topeka, on the LIST of March. A cores
pendent of the N. Y. San, likewise writing
from Kansas, says:
"As to the civil war in Kansas, there has
been some trouble and probably will be so, SO
long as there are fanatics at the head of ell
ther party; but as get 1 kno'o Of no hostili-
ties like those reported at the East"

&c" The New York Examiner, a Baptist
paper, declares that the scramble of clergy
men at Washington, for the Chaplaincies of
the two Houses, is getting to be absolutely
disgraceful; that the candidates follow the
members about, buttouhole them in the no.
tells, and behave no better than the politi-
clans.

rz- By the arrival of the Northern Light,

rz- BY the arrival of the Northern Light,
from San Francisco, we are informed that an
other battle had taken place with the Indi-
ans, near Fort Walla Walla, which lasted
four days, and resulted in the loss to the U.
S. soldiers of twenty three killed and wound
ed, and to the Indians of sixty killed and a
large number wounded. In Washington
Territory the savages continued their depre-
dations, by acts of murder, theft and incendi
arism. Both in the northern and southern
portions of California they were equally bold
and merciless. The government troops from,
the Atlantic States had arrived at San Fran
cisco, and were Immediately despatched to-
the scene of the disturbances.
In Central America, diplomatic relations
between the government of Nicaragua and
that Of the United States, are suspended by
official decree, owing to the treatment which
Col. Parker H. French has received from the
Cabinet at Washington, and COL French has
been recalled. The Walker Rivas govern
ment had duly notified Col. Wheeler, our
Minister, of this fact, and had also addressed
manifesto to the governments of the neigh
boring republics. Many military promotions
had taken place. Families were arriving from
both the Atlantic and Pacific States. Costa
Rica was very quiet and all fears of a rup-
ture with Nicaragua had passed away.

ICEBERG AT GENEsEE FALLs.-The Roch-
ester Democrat says, the ice is heaped up
from the level of the river below the falls
about fifty feet, forming beautiful iceberg
and large mass of ice extends from the
brink of the fall until it connects with that
below, with now and then small stream of
water percolating between the huge icicles.

CANTHE UNITED STATES AFFORD IT.-Du-
ring the year ending June 3oth 1854,
Great Britain and Ireland bought of the
United States, property to the value
of $I5O,0OO,0OO besides what was taken of
us by the British Colonies and dependencies.
In the same twelvemonth Russia did not buy
of us to the value of half million. France
and her colonies took more than $33,000,000
Austria, $1,4o3,6oO.
Can we afford to lose this trade by fight
ing for Territory ofso little commercial value
as Central America. laqcaG v1
The FARMER.-A beautiful thought this,
which we find in one of our exchanges:
"If there is man who can eat his bread
in peace with God and man, it is the man who
has brought that bread out Of the earth. 1t
is cankered by no fraud, it is wet by no tears,
it is stained by no blood"

KANSAS HERALD OF FREEDOM, 10th.

TYPE AND BULLETs.-Report says that
our neighbors are still resolved upon destroy
ing the Herald of Freedom Office. Whether
they purpose of throwing tho type in the
river a ala Territorial Register, we are not
advised; but we are resolved on giving them
the type gratuitously when occasion demands,
but we shall first form them into bullets con-
fident the Border Ruffians can appreciate
arguments in that shape better than those
drawn up logically and printed on paper.
Our military men will observe that we
have one ton of metal type in our office; they
are at the service of the cause to be cast into
bullets and thrown at the enemy when an
emergency shall demand their use in that form.
Great events are said to be preparing for
the ACCOMPLISHMENT of the Empress, which
will take place in about month The per
sonal of the Tuilleries is to undergo impor-
tant mod ifications; there will be perfect
shower of new titles; some changes are an
ticipated, in the Senatus Consultnn; great
fetes will be ordered at the expense of the
State political amnesty will be declared,
"and the JOY of the people will be great.

snow which has fallen dnring the past sixty
DAYS, is equal to five inches of manure

Inc that the wheat crop of 1885 will be the
largest ever. harvested in this country. TO
estimate the value of the snow upon the
ground at ten millions Of dollars, would be

slave trade more actively than ever and added
to 1t the far more cruel African and Chinese
Cooley apprentice trade. Now the abolitionists
have succeeded in doubling the slave trade in
amount, and qusdrupling it in cruelty; and,
besides, have robbed the poor white man of
his Injuries, comforts, and necessaries, forced
him to labor fourteen hours a day, and con-
signed his tender wife and infant children to
labor almost equally hard /; made him riotous,
discontinued, rebellious, and revolutionary, and
left him no hope of the future, except in the
overthrow of all government, of all property,
and of all social and religious institutions.
In our America, these abolitionists have
sown the seeds of discord between North and
South, which had like to have grown up and
ripened into dsunion, and civil, fratricidal war.
They have achieved multifarious and infinite
evil, but not one single good. They have brought
forth a multitude of hideous, unsubstantial
isms, but no sound fruit. They have unsettled
mems minds, mems faith, mems convictions.
Where their doctrines prevail, there is no
healthy public opinion to restrain RIGHTEOUSNESS
of speech and of the press, and the still greater
RIGHTEOUSNESS of the pulpit. There are no
established truths, no fixed faith in morals,
law, religion, or Government. Free niggers,
free women, free land, free love, and Fremont !;
no private property, no marriage, no churches,
no religion, no law, and no Government, are
the spectral brood with which abolition would
furnish the new world which it attempts to in
augurate.
This is hasty and most imperfect sketch of
the exploits of aboltion-mere suggestions,
which the reader may find useful in investigs-
ting its past history and present purposes.
But the world is getting sick of it, and all
the signs of the times indicate that it will soon
be repudiated and banished from society.

The Dayton Daily Empire contains the fol

membered that notice had been served on him
that his seat in Congress will be contested:

pose the whole conspiracy, from the President
down-all the frauds and rascalities, all the
hundreds and thousands of pipe-laid votes.
Il will go to Washington with my commits
sion as safely lodged in my pocket, as a certain
candidate had a certificate that he was, and
certain affidavit that he was not, member of

Il will spare my opponent, not out of respect
for his feelings, for don't think he has got
any, but he has family, he associates in your
city with honorable men, he belongs to an Or

bring into this contest; he belongs, too, am

TRANS. 1t was, in effect, proposition for en-
camping a whole horde Of Cossacks or Croats in
Hyde Park, and for protecting the free and un.
BIASED deliberations of that House by an army
of Germans and Russians"
We thus see that the argument for non-inter-
vention is substantially the same, whether it
comes from the upholders of Oppression or the
advocates of Freedom, whether it is found in
the columns of the Austrian Gazette or in the
eloquent illusions of the genius of Macintosh.
