and designates it as a "nuisance and curse ,
Too much of this thing is PERMITTED in all
the districts and so long as slaves are allow
ed to hire their own time, become master
workmep and contractors, it is worse than
folly to attempt to carry the very wholesome
laws of the State into effect The fault lies
with the slave owner, and will never be cor
rccted until the present system of allowing
slaves to compete with free white men in all
mechanical pursuits is abrogated.
-Governor Robinson, of Kansas, just
previous to his departure from Boston, April
4, met number of gentlemen, members of
the Legislature and others, at the rooms of
the Emigrant Aid Society. He expressed
very decidedly the opinion that the safety of
Kansas as free State depends upon defeat
ing Mr.. Douglas bill for anew constitutional
convention, as, under the present admins
tration and its bogus laws, there would be no
chance of securing fair election. Nh.
Atchison, who, he said, is President, as far
as Kansas is concerned, is reported to have
three million dollars at his command to force
slavery into Kansas.
A Kansas letter in the St. Louis Repub-
Hcan, dated the 25th ult., says: The leg
islature of Topeka was a miserable and lu-
dicious abortion, and its members are hi
ding themselves from judicial processes like
frightened ostriches. Some have fed to
Iowa, some to Missouri, and the rest are hi
ding their heads in the bushes, in the vain
hope of security. The Grand Jury of the
Circuit Court, under the instruction of
Judge Lecompte, have indicted not only the
members, but all the judges of elections;
and it is the intention of his honor, at his
term in Douglas, which begins next week,
10 have bills fround against Governor Robin
son, Lieut.. Governor Roberts, and all the ex-
eeutiye officers"
- The actual state Of the case in regard
to Mount Vernon, appears to be this-that,
Mr.. Washington has indicated his willing
ness to sell to the state of Virginia, and not
otherwise, and that, therefore, as regards all
other parties, Mount Vernon is not for sale,
as stated by him in recent letter to some
parties in South Carolina, which statement
has caused some considerable sensation.-
From the publications in the Virginia pa
pers, We feel pretty certain that, if the funds
should be raised, no difficulty need be ap-
pretended. 1t was to Mrs. Maria S. Wof-
ford of South Carolina, that Mr.. Washing
toms letter was addressed, in which he sta
ted that Mount Vernon was not for sale.
- The Rev. Sidney Smith once said, in
writing of kissing: "Weare in favor Of a
certain of degree shyness when kiss is pro-
posed, but it should not be continued too
long, and when the fair one gives it, let it
be administered with warmth and energy.
Let there be soul in it. If she closes her
eyes, and sighs deeply Immediately after it,
the effect is greater. She should be careful
not to slobbera kiss, but give it as hum
ming bird runs his bill into honeysuckle
deep but delicate There is much virtue
in kiss when we'll delivered. We have yet
the memory of one We received in youth,
which has lasted us forty years, and we be-
lieve that it will be one of the last things We
will think of when We die"
That an heir to the house of the pres.
ent Emperor Of France is born, is known
by this time throughout the civilized world,
but the question will be asked, is he heir to
the throne of France? Most of our readers
have probably forgotten, that the three most
considerable of the continental powers of
Europe, exclusive Of France, some time
since settled that question for Themselves
They determined for years ago, that no male
descendant of Louis Napoleon should be re-
garded as the heir apparent Of his crown.
The empire, according to this arrange
ment, was to be Louis Napoleon's only for
life; when he died, Russia, Austria and
Prussia pledged their word to each other
ito restore the legitimate heir of the throne
and to recognize no other. The treaty in
which this declaration was embodied and
these pledges made, was signed at Warsaw
in march, 1852, by Austria. Prussia and
Russia.-Nev York Ecening Post.
"A correspondent of the Austrian Ga
zette states-and the report is confirmed by
similar statements in other German papers
that typhus fever is making terrible ha-
voc in Southern Russia. Among the troops
and militia stationed in Odessa and vicini-
ty, it RACES with frightful mortality, and is
spreading among the population to such an
extent that all the hospitals, and many pri-
vate dwellings, are filed with the sick,
of whom vast number die daily. More
than twenty thousands soldiers are in the
hospitals, and thousands have already died
Among the victims, there were in one week
twelve army surgeons and four physicians,
Of whom two were American, who had made
preparations to return home. In the city prop
er, some fifteen hundred families are plung-
ed into the deepest poverty, and committees
have been appointed to supply them with
ood, clothing and fuel even among the bet
ter classes great distress prevails, and the
desire for peace is universal. Not only Odes
ga, but all Southern Russia, in the vicinity
Of the seat of war, is decimated by this
frightful scolrge. Baktschiserai, Simph-
eropol, Cherson and particularly Nicoielieff,
