Retribution.

In 1854 Cassius NJ. Clay visited
Springfield. illinois, an effort vas made
10 get him the State House to speak in;
but John Moore. the pro-slavery Safe
Treasurer. and a tool OF Douglas. closed
the building in the face az Mr. Clay and
his friends. and acted towards them in
regular Border Ruff IN style. This
John Moore was the Buchanan Douglas
candidate for State Treasurer at the late
election and the following is the verdict
of the people upon him:-Moore l07. O4S;
Miller, 1913. 43o, majority against Moor.
81, 382! A significant, crushing rebuke
TO a loW-minded demagogue. The peo-
pie have turned him put of the State

Rare.

A gentleman who died in Botetourt
county. Va. afew months ago. devise
his entire property, estimated at $40. 900:
10 one of his sisters, and after bis death
she destroyed his will and divided his
property equally between a brother. SIS
ter and herself.
The New York Mirror says a similar
case occurred a short time since iH New
Haven. A gentleman died there leav-
ing Lis estate amounting TO several hun
dred thousand dollars, 10 a married
daughter, and cutting off his sons with
a trIfling sum-. The daughter. with the
full concurrence Of her husband. de-
slroyed her fathers will. as in the above
case, and divided her inheritance with
her brothers, ~reserving to herself only
one equal share. Legally the property
was hers, but not morally ; she could
keep it only by wronging her brothers.
Such instances of right triumphing over
sel6shness are indeed rare and therefore
the more deserving of praise.-PiRs6urgh

The Kansas Quandary.

The admission of Whitfield. as dele

houses. The President elect owes hi.
election to the same party and although
his supporters in the free States claimed
for him that it was his wish Kansas
should be a free State, still there is moth.
ing to hope from that fact. But there
is another fact which the last election
has brought out SO prominently that Mr..
Buchanan can not overlook it, namely.
that an immense majority not only of
the citizens of the free States, but of the
whole United States, are firmly opposed
to the introduction of slavery into any

the Buchanan party, that Kansas shall

sequences, that the most strenuous endeav
ors will be made to accomplish that end
during the present winter, in order to re-
lieve the incoming administration, in a
measure from the certain odium upon
the act.
If Kansas asks to be admitted with a
Pro-slavery constitution, what reason is
there to suppose she will be refused?-
1t must be remembered hat at the so
called territorial election of last October.
in which election the Free State men did
not, and could not vote, (being virtually
excluded by those laws which President
Pierce pronounced TO be the eristiny laws
of the territory,) it was decided to call
Q convention to form a State Constitution.
The same laws which prevented the Free
State men from voting at the election
will also prevent them ftom being mem
bers of the Convention and as it will be
composed entirely of pro-slavery dele
gates. a pro-slavery constitution will be
formed, with which, the territory will
ask to be admitted into the Union.
This will be following cut the same
policy pursued during the last eight
years By the Buchanan party. and as il
Is the same policy which has lost to hem
almost the whole Of the North, it re
mains to be seen whether, they choose
thus 10 immediate themselves upon the
altar of The slave God.
