The Next Congress.

In seventeen States, the Congress
sional delegations elected stand as fol-
lows:-Democrats. 63: Opposition. 81.
There are 81 members yet to be elect
ed, which are now represented by so
Democrats. and "a Opposition. Nine
of these are in Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut and New Hampshire, and their
seats viii all be filed by Republicans.
Maryland will doubtless elect five or
six opposition members, and Ken
tucky and Tennessee at least as many
as they have now. 1t is by no means
certain, yet, that Buchanan viii have
a working majority in the House, as
far as the merely political measures of
his administration are concerned; but
on the question of slavery. it is fair
to presume that he viii command
enough Northern doughfaces to give
the South majority.

G. w. BRowN, Esq-Dear SIR
I was delighted. last evening, in read
ing the first number of the new issue
of the HERALD OF FREEDOM, contain
ing, as it does, so much that is conso-
nant to my own most cherished senti-
ments, and occupying such an eligible
position in the defence of freedom in
Kansas, and in rebuking tyranny in
all its forms. / sat up till midnight,
perusing the thrilling events that you
have presented to your readers in this
issue, admiring the heroic devotion of
that faithful wife and those friends by
whose instrumentality you have been
enabled to lift anew on the battlements
of Lawrence the trumpet of Freedom.
My first impulse after reading your
paper, was to furnish to two or three
of my friends, who have been rather
incredulous in regard to Kansas mat
ters, copies of your paper for the en-
suing year, hoping that they may be-
come enlightened in those things that
will, ere long. constitute a very i'm
portant part in the history of our
country. You will iud enclosed $40,
which will duplicate my own subscrip-
ton, and which most cheerfully ten
der in view of your losses by mob vi
olence, besides meeting the amount of
subscriptions which / enclose. Truly
yours, DC. C..

Selected Poetry.
"He's None The Worse For That.

What though the homespun suit he wears
Best suited to to the sons of toll
What though on coarser food he fears,
And tends the loom or tills the soil
What though no gold leaf gilds the tongue.
Devoted to congeniai chat
If right prevails, and not the wrong,
The man is none the worse for that.
What though within the humble cot,
No costly ornament is seen;
What though the wife possesses not
Her satin gowns of black and green;
What though the merry household band,
Half naked fly to ball and bat;
If conscience guides the heart and hand,
The man is none the worse for that
True worth is not thing of dress
Ofsplendor, wealth, or classic lorel
What that these trappings were loved less,
And clung to honest worth the morel
Though pride may spurn the toiling crowd,
The tattered garb, the crownless hat.
Yet God and Nature cry aloud,
The man is none the worse for that.

The Paupsrs of the South.

One of the many taunts, constantly
thrown out by the pro-slavery press,
against Free State settlers, is.that they
are psupers. The inference is, they
object to their coming to Kansas, for
fear they viii have them to support.
But who has ever heard of free
State. begging Congress for money to
furnish seed for its staple production.
Yet. our government has appropriat-
ed $4,000 to the pauper sugar plant
ers of Louisiana, to buy seed for their
next crop of sugar cane. And this,
besides heavy tariff. Suppose the
Kansas paupers apply to this Con-
gress for an appropriation to buy our
seed wheat, next year?

Kansas.

We wish it distinctly understood
that there is not now, nor never has
been, a pro-slavery, political party in
Kansas sufficient to sustain itself by
fair voting. Every body knows, oil
ought to know, that the elections in
Kansas are carried by Missouri vo-
ters. There may be some slaves in the
Territory-perhaps 200. We do not
know of twenty. We consider it an
imposition on the credulity of the
South to attempt to make them be-
lieve their slave property would be safe
here.
How can it be safe to bring slave
men here when three e-fourths of all the
actual settlers do not acknowledge the
validity of the bogus laws, and are op-
posed to slavery. AS an honest man,
we advise shareholders not to bring
their slaves here. till the question is
settled fairly for the Territory, Slavery
or no Slavery. Y
We may have another trial for we
see by the papers that General Whit
field has gone South with his constitu-
ents, to drum mp recruits for Kansas.
If they come as peaceable citizens,
they are welcome. IF they come as
armed men, we do not fear them. In
the first case, we shall extend to them
the hand of friendship. In the Sec
end, we shall meet them as we have
ever done, according to our ability.
Kansas was secured to Freedom once
BY agreement of ell the South. Con-
gress destroyed this agreement, and
threw the Territory open to settlement,
equal to pro-slayery men and anti
slavery men, decreeing that the major
ity sheuld rule. To this we cheerful
ly assented, and do now eheerfully as

Is it their deeds Of chivalry,
That doth your heart thus move3
Do thoughts Of murder, crime and blood,
Give pleasure to your mind,-
a satisfaction that you fail
In noble minds to fnd 7
Can YOU the hand of Coleman clasp,
With friendship firm and true,
And feel no shudder or regret,
As You his work reviewf
And are the means of Barber's wife.
fStili echoing Ger the land
Are they sweet music to your ears,
Charmed by your Ruffian band?
And is it pleasing to your sight,
The mangled Brown to see,-
The form Of murdered Parker meet,
Fast pinioned to some tree
And read in letters there, Of blood,
"a warning take from me
Take warning all who dare to vote
That Kansas may be free =
Is't deeds, and crimes, and woes like these
That can enlist your mind3
Is't Joy to see Freeman bold,
In prison walls confined,
Because he dared to speak his thoughts.
Or dared the right maintain,
Nor shrank beneath oppression's arm,
Or tyrants' offered chain 7
Alas the woes of bleeding hearts,
Might pierce a heart Of STEEL
The woes that this same Ruffian band
Have made those hearts to feel
Do woes like these give delight
Give pleasure to your breast
Do they your happiness secure
Give peaceful dreams with restf
Is it for these you give respect
Unto that lawess band,
And place them Infinitely" far,
Above bloodless hand7
Or is't because the CALLING chain
Of slavery you'd extend,-
Degrade and crush the human mind,
And deal in souls of men?
All, mol would not know the cause
| would not read the heart
That can approve such heartlessness,
Or in such deeds take part.
But would know the truly brave,
Those who the right proclaim;
Those, who, in ages yet to come,
Will bear an honored name.

This city is now the home of one of the most
remarkable men of the age-a man who has ira
versed the civilized globe, and established in al
most every country which he has visited, the sale
of his medicines for the RELIEF OF HUMAN SUP
RERINe, and which are certain cure for disease
in all its forms. We allude to Professor THOMAS
HOLLOWAY, Of London. It is now several years
since this benefactor OF the human race first
proclaimed to the world, through the British
press, that he had, after deep research, prepared
remedy that was sure to eradicate disease.
Years of patient investigation into the laws of
human physiology which control our bodies in
health and when diseased, led to the invention
and preparation of the world-renowned HoLLo-
WAYS PILLS and OINTMENT. Nearly, if notquite
half Of the human race have taken his medicines!
His name is as universally known over the globe
as that of Alexander, Napoleon, or Washington,
when in the height of their ambitious career. If
they conquered nations in the field of battle,
Professor Holloway has, with no weapon but
that OF science, conquered DISEASE in all its
forms. His meritorious career is bounded by no

has translated the cures he has performed and
the virtues of his medicines into as many Ian

their great popularity with the people. to remove
antiquated and time -honored restrictions upon
the introduction of foreign medicines, and open

who wish to preserve it for future reference may

law can become operative, it must be submitted
to the people. If a majority Of the votes cast
at the next general election shall be in its ia
vor, it will become law, and not otherwise.
This is the only law Of the last legislature
which is to be voted upon by the people previous
to its taking effect. Voters, therefore. should
make themselves thoroughly acquainted with its
provisions, in rider to vote intelligently.

Kanzas Matters.

We regret that the crowded state of our
columns prevents the publication this week,
of the details of the very interesting and
exciting news from Kansas. Wehays only
room for brief summary:
The United States District Court is in
session at Lecompton. A picked Border
Rufian grand jury was empannelled, and
specially charged by Judge Lecompte to in
dict and arraign all those Free State men
who claim to hold Office by virtue Of their
election by the LEGAL voters of Kansas, and
promised the jury that their writs should be
executed, and the offenders punished, if Il
required the whole force of the U. s. army
He further instructed them to indict every
body who did not obey the laws of the Bor
der Rufian legislature. He said the law
should be executed, at all hazards.
The grand Jury returned several bills
among which were bills against Reeder ant
Robinson. Bench-warrants were issued fol
their arrest. Reeder was at Tecumseh, be
fore the Congressional committee when tn,
Marshal attempted to arrest him. He sale
he would not obey the summons, he did no
acknowledge its legality, and that he wal
exempt from arrest, by virtue of his Office
Of Delegate to Congress from Kansas terri
tory, and informed the Marshal that if h,
attempted to execute the attachment, h,
should do it at the peril Of hislife. A larg
crowd had gathered around, who cheeret
Reeder loudly. Sherman and Howard, o
the committee sustained Reeder in all hi
positions, and told the Marshal that the,
had power and sufficient grounds to arres
their little territorial court, grand jury an,
all. and send them on to Washington.
The Marshal withdrew, and thereupo
issued . proclamation calling for assistance
