ALLEGED HIGHWAY RoBBgn ARREsTEp-
1t will be recollected that an account of a
highway robbery, committed in Cambridge
port, last week, was published in the Journal
three or four days since, and that one Charles
Haynes, who was suspected of committing the
robbery, had disappeared 1t was ascertained
yesterday that Haynes was secreted in a house
at South Boston, but upon the approach of
ofhcers he escaped through the back door, and
ran across the marsh to Dorchester. Capt.
Taylor and posse of officers from the 9Th
Station pursued and found Haynes under a
hedge fence, where they arrested him, and
subsequently delivered him into the custody
OF Cambridge officers, who conveyed him be.
lore the Police Court, when he was held in
$1,000 for further examination. Haynes is a
half breed Indian and belongs in Cambridge
port.-BoStOB journal.

FRANKLIN PIERCE.-We hope, that on the oc-
casion of the passage of this parsonage through
our city, no person who loves liberty, justice,
truth, and the force of principle, which it was in
tended to sustain by our form of government, will
so far compromise his self respect as to put him
self in way to see him. The respect which we
should habitually cherish for the high Office which
he desecrates, would forbid any outward manifes-
tation Of disrespect to its occupant. But the in
famous course he has pursued, the trampling of
freedom under foot, the outrages on the right of
suffrage in Kanzas, the horrible oppression, cru
elites and murders, which have been committed
there, and for which he is responsible and will
be so held at the last day, equally forbid that we
do any act, which, by possibility, could be con-
strued into respect for himxp sEspnaliy, an ap-
proval of his course. Let him alone then, give
him wide birth, and, if there are any amongst
us, who are border rufians in soul, leave it to
them to do him homage.

BLoPEMENT.-The Cincinnati Gazette saws
that quite scene occurred at one of the sec.
ond rate hotels in that city last week. 1t
seems that a couple who represented them
selves as man and wife, had been boarding
there about week, stating that they were re-.
Gently married and from pittsburg Pa. The
female was several times observed to be in
tears, but no suspicion was entertained of
anything wrong, until the day referred to,
when the father of the woman, who is a far
mer, residing in Cuyahoga county, came to
town accomanied by the other daughter, and
having by some means found out where the
man and woman were, went there in search
of them.
1t then came out that the pretended hus-
band was carpenter, whose wife and family
reside in Buffalo, who had induced foolish
girl to elope with him. The meeting of tho
erring female and her sister was painfully af-
fecting. The seducer having seen the father
OF his victim approach the house, made his
escape unperceiyod, and has not since been
found. The erring girl was taken home
again.

HE RUFFIAN PROGRAMME. The pro- sla-
very rutians of Missouri have not abandoned
their war of determination against the free
state settlers III Kanzas. but only postponed it
until after the presidential election, from mo-
tives Of policy, that their allies in the tree
states may be able to raise the deceptive cry
of peace. The Squatter Sovereign, the ad-
ministration paper of the territory whose al
most entire support comes from the national
treasury, said in a recent article on the " Ne
cessity of Energetic Action -
The two parties cannot winter in Kanzas.
1t is the avowed purpose of Lane to exter.
inmate or be eyterminated. The question
has resolved itself into the simple one of .tto
be or not to be " inhabitants Of the territory.
Our citizens are now being robbed OF every
thing they possess. 1t is the reward of those
hirelings, and they are determined to make
1t pay" as robbery4s the only resort they have
for subsistence. The spols " was the in
ducement that brought them here, and the
more successful and extensive their operations
tie better they please their master, whose OBJ.
ject is to drive every pro-slavery man out of
the territory, by depriving him of everything
he may possess. If we would escape this
fate, we must fight the devil with fire -
scourge the country of abolitonsm, free soil
ism, and ever other damnable ism that exists
DESTROY THEIR PROPERTY, CROPS,
AND EVERY ARTICLE THAT WOULD
CONDUCE TO THE SUPPORT OF ANY
OR EVERY PERSON WHO Is KNOWN
OR SUSPECTED OF ACTING, COOP
GRATING, OR SYMPATHETIC WITH
ABOLITlONISM. This must be done, or
the territory will be one continual scene of
strife Tor months to come. Do this and peace
will be restored and quiet prevail. If it is
not too late, the work should be carried on
vigorously.

At the Republican headquarters in Whining
ton Del, on the 18th inst, resolutions were unan-
imously adopted, embracing the following prop
ositions
"That the Constitution of the United States
guarantees to the people the inalienable rights
of life, liberty, property, freedom of speech,
and the press the inyiolability OF the ballot
box the right to bear arms, and TO assemble
peaceably for redress of grievances.' That
all these rights had been violated in Kanzas,
and that the politicians who upheld them were
unworthy the confidence Of the people. The
resolutions protest against the use Of the fed
eral arms to aid doctrines so disgraccful to hui
manity, and define slavery as a local and State
institution, its existence being independent of
the Constitution, and that Congress has moth
ing to do with II that, as slavery is local
and State institution the slave resumes his
natural condition Of freedom the moment he il
taken by his master beyond the Jurisdiction of
the State that legislates the right to hold him
as properly The eighth resolution asserts
that as States only can institute or abolish
slavery, property in man is not guaranteed by
the federal Constitution, but is merely priv
ilege granted by the State sovereignty
Hence it follows that State may abolish il
without infringing the constitutional rights of
property The ninth resolution declares that
the national character Of slavery and its pro.
hibition from the Territory ceded by Virginia
were demonstrated by the ordinance of 81
and the law Of Congress Of 80, and sanctioned
by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Mon
roc, and that, therefore, tho objects of the
Republican party are not sectional, but ma
tional.' The tenth proclaims the necessity of
devotion TO the Constitution, and resisting all
attacks upon il, either from the South or
North"
