Tom Paine's Grave.

A correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce furnishes the fol.
lowing particulars relative to the farm
and grave ofToM PAINE:
Some years since collected from a
correct source few scraps Of informa.
ton respecting the latter scenes of his
lille. About two miles north of New
Rochelle is situated the Paine Farm,
an elevated tract Of land, containing
at the time ofhis death, several hun.
dred acres of genuine Westchester
County fertility. Opposite, and across
the street from the entrance TO this
farm, stands an ancient and somewhat
dilapidated house, in which Tom
Paine passed the last period of his
life, and in the large eastern room of
which he breathed his last. This
house is now very nearly, or quite,
two hundred years old, and, at the
time Of Paine's death, was country
tavern; and the ancient sign, Enter,
tainment for Man and Beast can, I
think, be found in it's garnet. The
Landlady was q Mrs. Badeau, a de.
scendant Ct the first French settlers
Of New Rochelle. Her daughter, Mrs
Badeau, still lives on the place, and
was at the time referred to, twelve
or thirteen years of age. His remains
were inferred on his own farm, direct
ly opposite the house in which he
died, and the spot was inclosed by a
rough stone wall traces of which still
remain. The grounnd for some dis
lance around his rude tomb has re-
NAMED uncultivated since his death,
while briars and brambles have occu-
pied the spot which, had he died
twenty years before, would have Civ
en- place to the evergreen and the rose,
planted by the hand of friendship
About two yards from his grave
stands the monument erected to his
memory by the admirers Of his talent
and principles. Its Of marble, in the
Grecian style, about nine feet high,
encircled with wreath of oak leaves
and acorns. On its front is displayed
a profile in bas-rclici, said to be per-
feet likeness of the mas. Below this
is this simple Inscription: Thomas
Paine, author of Common Sense The
profile has d striking resemblance to
the medallion of John Hancock"

A New Plank for Platforms.

During the existence of the Missouri
Compromise the rights Of the South were
partially protected BY that act, and the
great question now agitatlng the South
could not have been made under il, but
since the removal of that old restriction
by the last Congress it seems that train
Of political evils (a0pa agmen tebrium)
has burst out like the iatcs from the tabled
box Of Pandora, when the fatal lid was
removed, and have spread like an cpl
demic over the whole country, while hope
may hardly be said to have remained be,
hind. And it appears that the chief
plague among them is "squatter sover
eighty" which must commend the best
wisdom Of the country 10 guard it, We
are glad to see that the American party
Of Tennessee have stepped forward first
10 plant their footupon it, and record their
protest against it. Who'll be next?

The Liquor Question.

The action of the Legislature thus
far in regard to the liquor question
has been the repeal of the Tipling
Law, and investing Grand Jurics
with inquisitorial power in case Of Vi
olation Of existing laws. The law
now in force is the Quart Law. The
Senator from Dckalb, Mr.. Stokes, IN
troduced the following bill, which has
passed the Senate and gone to the
House.
A Bill to protcct Property and Restrict
the Sale Of ArdeM Spirits.
SEC. l. Be it enacted by the Gcncr-
al Assembly ofthe State OF Tennessee,
that hereafter no person shall engage
in the traffic in spirituous liquors with
out first going before Justice OF the
Peace, and make oath that they will
not sell or give to any minor, free per-
son ofcolor. or a slave, without a writ
ten permit from such persons as are
now authorized by law to extend such
privilege. Any person violating the
provision of this act in failing to take
such oath shall be deemed guilty Ola
misdemeanor, and shall be dealt with
as in case Of other misdemeanors.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, that
ifany person shall give or sell spiritu-
Gus or vinous liquors to any minor
free persons Of color, or slave, after
having taken the oath as prescribed
in the section Of this act, they shall be
deemed guilty Of perjury.
SEC. 3. Be it further enacted that
any person or persons selling splrltu-
Gus or vinous liquors in this State by
the quart. shall pay tax to the State
of ten dollars for every hundred dollars
worth sold, and shall be required at
the close of each and every year, to
render upon oath to the clerk OF the
county court, q statement Of the guam
tity he may have thus sold.

Kansas.

IN act 10 punish C.Fences against Stare
propc'ty.
SEC. II. Be it enacted by the Governor
and Legislative Assembly of the terri,
tory of Kansas,
That if any free person, by speaking
or wrltinE, assert or maintain that persons
have not the right to hold slaves in this
territory, or shall introduce into this ter.
ritory, print, publish, write, circulate, or
cause to be introduced, written, printed
published, or circulated in this territory
any book, paper, magazine, pamphlet, or
circular, containing any denial of the
right of persons to hold slaves in this
territory, such person shall be deemed
guilty of felony and punished by impris.
onment at hard labor for a term not less
than two years.
Though this smacks of the old sediton
law, still we cannot feel much surprised
at the passage Of such law in Kansas.
1t is clearly void for unconstltutionality,
but it shows hopeful determination in
the settlers to maintain their rights
Should such law be enforced or an at.
tempt be made TO enforce it, a civil war
will be the inevitable consequence. The
act is to take effect next September, be.
fore which time we fear that our West.
ern skies will be Redeemed with the war
cloud.
The friends of slavery had better not
overreach their constitutional obligations,
'or if civil war should come upon them
hey will find that right is the spirit Of
night, and Justice is j sling Of David.

The Responsibility.

SO far as any party is responsible for
the election of Mr.. Banks to the Speak.
ership, we think it rather a small matter.
But as an effort has been made to manu-.
iacturo political capital Of it, it may be
proper to lay the case before our readers
Just as it is, and let facts tell their own
tale. On the one hundred and thirty.
third ballot, Mr.. Akin received 100 votes,
and M. Banks 1903, under the plurality
rule. Four democrats refused to vote for
Mr.. Akin, and six Americans also re.
fused to support him. Now had these
four democrats supported Mr.. Akin he
would have been elected by one majority
yer Banks; and if those six americans
Aad voted.for Mr.. Akin he would have
been elected by three votoss So right
here we find both parties to some extent
were responsible for the defeat Of Mr..
Akin. We now proceed little farther
md find that neither Mr.. Richardson nor
Mr., Fuller voted at all. We now have
to examine into the motives and apollo.

Extraordinary Sory.--During the
stay of the Persian ambassador IN
Moscow, a fire of charcoal, Ii GIFTED by
his servant in stove of the room
where his SON and the servant slept,
caused the death of the former by sui
location, while the latter narrowly es-
capped with his life. The Embas s;
dor, in order to avengc the death ofhls
son, commanded the servant, to be
aayed alive. The Russian police,
however, interferred, alleging that
such punishment could not be allow

pie being brought to bear against the
reasonable designs of incendary agit'
ators and incendary presses, at the
North and at the South. There is nc
mistaking the fact that there are par.
ties in the free as well as in the slave
States who are laboring earnestly tc
no other end than to bring on a col.
lision between the settlers in Kansas
by intruding among them bands OF
armed men equipped and sent there to
fan the flame ofscctional discord into
a general conllagration.
It. is reflection which saddens the
mind while arousing its strongest in
dignation, that men who call them
selves American citizens should have
so little regard for the character or
interests of the Republic that they will
deliberately enter upon a system of
agitation which threatens the peace
and perpetuation OF the Union. and
who, when facts are wantingto the
promotion of their diabolicaI design,
will color, eXagerate, and mlsrepre-
sent occurrences to influence the pas
sions and pervert the judgement otthe
people. We cannot extend to such
men the charity Of crediting them
with zeal for a principle. Men hon
estly devoted to a principle will not
employ falsehood and misrepresenta-
ton as their chief weapons.
Let the incendary agitators outside
ofKansas beput downtor silenced and
our word for it, the people Of the ter
ritory, from whatever States they may
have cmigrated, will find more ration
al occupation and more republican
mode for settling their political diff
culties than by cutting each others
throats, Or shooting each other down
with Sharp's rifles. We do not hest
tate to dcnounce it as the most afro
cious, the most cold blooded and inhu-
man conduct Of which men could be
guilty, to instigate their fellow citizens
to murder and massacre; and we re-
gard as fiends, rather than as men,
those who can gloat over the prospect
OF civil war in Kansas.
A fearful responsibility will rest up
on Congress and upon the Executive,
if prompt and decisive steps are not
taken TO secure the people Of Kansas
in the peaceful enjoyment OF their le-
gal and constitutional rights, and to
crush out, before it is too late, the ele-
ments Of treason and rebellion which |
reckless and unpricipled men are in
and nurturing in that terri
tory. There are legal and constitu-
tional means iof~ settling the Kansas
troubles. and to apply anl enforce
these is the duty Congress and of the
Federal Administration. Rebellion
or civil war is an alternative which |
can nevcrrightfully present itself to
any State Or Territory in the Union
while the Constitution stands and is
and there never was a time
in our history when it was more i'm
portant that good and patriotic citizens
should take their stand firmly on the
platform Of the Union and the ConSti-
tuition, than it is at the present mo-
ment.

first rs miles, and afterwards the
amount accruing for each five miles,
until the whole is completed TO III
Pa&o, u distance OF 1873 miles. The
capital stock ofthc company is divided
into 100 shares, the certificates OF
