JIM LANE AND HIS VAeABoNDs-WHAT
A MICHIGAN MAN sAYs.-Mr. A. G. OTIs,
formerly of Kalamazoo County, writes to the
Kalamazoo Gazette, from Kansas as follows:
We have had quiet for three or four months
until Lane and his men came in through Ne
braska. The country was prospering; the
Land Office at Lecompton would have open
ed the lst of September, and everybody was
doing well in their business. The crops look
fine all over the Territory Lane and his
company came in, helped by the Aid Soci-
ETY., to the number Of six or eight hundred
strong, and his first exploit was to burn out
three pro-slavery men, plumber their proper
tv, and kill them; his next was to rob a
house near Lecompton where wealthy
southerner was living, of some $4,000 in
cash, and then to attack Gen. Clark, an In
dian Agent, and Government Officer, ard
drive him from his duties. Lane may not
have been present, but his men did these
things to my knowledge, as some of the par
ties | have seen and talked with them, who
escaped. These are the men that Beecher
prays for, and that some northern people are

their own pockets. If they wanted to make
Kansas Free State, the election was close
by Gn Oct) and if they were numerically
the strongest, they could have carried the
Territory, as the Mssourians will hardly come
over now that the Territory is settling
This would have been fair play. There was
much election excitement springing up,
though Of peaceable kind, and many coun-
ties would have undoubtedly gone free soil.
Lane and his army have declared war, and
Of course every law and order man, whether
free soil or pro-slavery, is against him. l
hope the fanatics on both sides will get kill
ed, and leave the country to the bonafide
settlers. But l must say, the free soil party
are acting like fools in thus encouraging war,
robbery and murder, as they have done and
are doing, and all who have helped to get
Lane here, by money Or otherwise, are to a
certain extent part'ceps criminis.
The farmers around us are having fine
crops. Wheat, Oats, Corn, Tobacco and
hemp, grow finely here, the latter being the
most profitable.
Yours truly A. G. OTIs.

AN ELOQUENT TRTBUTE.-The following
tribute from q neutral paper, the New York
San, is well deserved and truthful. We COM
mend it specially to the attention Of young
men:
"The present position of the Democratic
r,artv ia try,y ,srs,ssa NNiss.t.~crS.si
moral power has marked its past history and
brilliant triumphs, it has been reserved for the
present period to invest its sublime principles
with every combination of beauty aud excel
lence. Hitherto opposed by powerful and
natural antagonism imbodying an elevated
and dignifed hostility, well organized and
led by exalted talent and patriotism, it is now
virtually, even by this old enemy, recognized
as the party of the country against which
they can no longer wage conscientious war
fare. There is no longer whig party !
There is, indeed, tribute to the Democratic
party, which the most enthusiastic of its dis
ciples could never have anticipated 1t is, in
truth, wonderful admission of the purity of
its creed and the blessings of its tendencies
by that powerful party that long combated
both its men and measures

The REAL PosIrIoN OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY ON THE SLAVERY QUESTION. fol-
lowing is the resolution of the Cincinnati
platform relative to slavery: Yo -
"That Congress has no power, under the
constitution, to interfere with, or control, the
domestic institutions of the several States;
that such States are the sole and proper
judges of everything appertaining to their
own affairs, not prohibited by the constitu-
ton; that all efforts of the abolitionists and
others, made to induce Congress to interfere
with questions of slavery, or to take incipient
steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead
to the most alarming and dangerous conse-
quences; and that all such efforts have an in
evitable tendency to diminish the happiness
of the people, and endanger the stability and
permaneney of the Union, and ought not to
be countenanced by any friend of our politi-
cal institutions"
This resolution was drawn by Silas Wright,
and has constituted plank of the democrat
c platform for twelve years past. 1t states
distinctly the position of the party. 1t is
simply the doctrine of non-intervention by
Congress on the subject of slavery, or, as an
other resolution of the democratic platform
expresses it, "That the democratic party will
resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress
or out of it, the agitation of the slavery ques-
tion, under whatever color or shape the at
tempt may be made"
Here we have the whole ground for charg-
ing the democratic party with being pro-
slavery. Judging thus by its principles or
professions, it is an untrue and unfair charge.
The position held by the party is just and
truthful one, and the only one that can be
maintained without dissolution of the
Union. 1t treats slavery as local and section
al it deals with it as State institution, and
leaves it, as the constitution leaves it, to be
dealt with and managed by those who have
its care and responsibility, and who are to be
affected by its existence; and we here sub
NIT whether any other fair and safe way
can be devised of treating this disturbing
question: When the government was form
cd all the States were slave but one. Under
such circumstances the compact was made
and the institution Of slavery was left un-
touched, treated as a slave institution, and
the constitution, made of all one people, with
out even mentioning the subject of slavery
save once. And why should the democratic
party, essentially great constitutional party,
do more than did the trainers of the consti-
tuition on this subject? The demoratic party
is not pro-siavery-it leaves the question
sytcrs .f,e copstitntion leftit-wifh the Siates
and the people Of the States. and we submit
whether the subject could with safety be left
any where else! TDet. Free Press.

THE WIFE.


She clung to him with woman's love,
Like ivy to the oak;
While DER his head with crushing force,
Earths chilling tempest broke.
When the world looked cold on him,
And blight hung DER his name,
She soothed his cares with woman's love,
And bade him rise again.
When cares had furrowed DER his face,
And clouded his young hours,
She wove among his crown of thorns
A wreath of Loves own flowers.
And never did that wreath decay,
Or one bright flowrct wither;
For woman's tears eer nourished them,
That they might bloom forever.
'Tis ever thus with woman's love,
True till lifes storms have passed.;
And, like the vine around the tree,
II braves them till the last.

A CUNARD VESSEL TO BEAT THE PERSIA.
Capt. JUDKINs, of the Cunard steamship
Persia, states that the Cunard Company have
made arrangements for the construction of
another iron steamship, to be built on the
Clyde, and called the Scotia. 1t is to be
larger than the Persia, and Captain Judkins
is confident it will exceed the Persia in
speed as much as that fine vessel exceeds Or
binary ocean steamres. He thinks the Brit
lsh naval architects have learned much since
the Persia was built, and will improve both
in the model and construction of the engine.
The Scotia will be finished in about wear.
