There are those in every community who
are disposed to think the north and tle,touth
EQUALLY accountable for the existing state of
affairs in Kansas. Such views must be ar
rived at either through ignorance Of the facts,
or a bird devotion TO mere party interests,
for there is nothing in the entire history Of
Kansas that contains even the most remote
justification Of such m opinion. Willie on
the one hand law and order have been strict
ly observed, on the other unlawful and violent
measures have been pursued from the begin
ming, and are yet resorted 10 daily.
The people of the free states did notdesire to
see slavery extended over Kansas, and there
fore they resolved to people it with mtn op-
posed to that institution Men who had means
of their own went to that territory, and those
who had not the means were sent by others.
Who would deprive them of this privilege /?
What principle of right was here violated?
In this manner the territory was settled.
Of course the friends Of free Kansas had q
majority of settlers in the territory. In this
mode Of settling the question Of freedom OF
slavery, the north had decided advantage,
being possessed of more industrious men who
were willing to enter upon the work Of ma
king a new state. This superiority excited
the jealousy of the slave power, and they at
once discovered their defeat unless by some
means they could seize upon the legislative
department of the territory. To accomplish
this, all know the course pursued by Nilsson
ans. Ballot-boxes were seized by regularly
organized mobs of non-resdents, in many in
stances actual esidents were prohibited from
voting, and in other cases they were brutally
beaten and murdered. In this manner leg
islature was elected, many of the members
chosen residing in Missouri. This illegal body
convened and adopted the laws of Missouri
for the government Of Kanas, adding thereto
some severe restrictions upon the freedom O.
speech and the press.
Thus the difficulties commenced, and in q
similar spirit they have been kept up to the
present time. Therefore, in all this transac'
ton nothing has been done by the friends o
free Kansas but what they had a right to do
and no man can show single fact to the
contrary, while all must admit that they have
exercised almost censurable forbearance.

CASHMERE GoATs.-R. Peters, Esq, of Atlanta,
in private letter, thus audes to the hardness and
frugay Of this valuable stock:
~ am better pleased every day with my Cash
mere Goats. They are now living and growing fat
on the seed of rag weed.-a plant which no other
animal will eat"
We are also indebted to Mr. Peters for several
samples of wool from some of his half.blood kids
(raised from the common Goat and a Cashmere
Buck. )-These samples. VIII CHI may be seen at our
Office, are really of astonishing fneness and length
of fibre; and when consider the undoubted
value of this wool for manufacturing purposes
the hardy character of the Goat-its exemption from
nearly all dlseases-its dog defyng its
superiority in almost every respect over the sheep,
so far as vigor and stamina are concerned-we are
constrained to repeat, with increased confidence,
our declaration Of last month, that the Cashmere
Goat is far the most important and valuable addi-
ton that has been made to our domestic animals
within the past century. In concurrence with this
opinion, we pleased to mention the name of that
profound scholar and jealous naturalist. Rev. DR..
Bachman, of Charleston, whose allusion to their
value will be found the close of his very article
on Southern Grasses, in the present number
We also learn that DR.. James B. Davis, of South
Carolina, passed through this city recently, with if

An IMPRESSIVE WARNING.-The Hon. David Stuart
was engaged as counsel for the prosecution in the
case of Oscar T. Caldwell, charged with embezzle
ment while conductor on the Chicago and Burling-
ton Railroad and which tried last week at Chi
cago and resulted in verdict of guilty. The clos
ing speech of Mr.. Stuart was very a BILE one, and
called forth frequent applause. We give below a
short extract from it. and would most ferveny COM
mend its careful and attentive perusal to all persons
who, by possibility, may be subjected to temptation.
1t is worth thousand ordinary sermons, and may
save hundreds of fast young men from that career
whose end is perdtion:
"Ah, gentlemen, the pivot on which all this sad
drama turns is condensed into that single express
ion have lived too fast! Pregnant words They
should fall from this courtroom like tocsin the
giddy whirl of young men below. The multitude
that has watched with varied emotions, but all with
intense interest, the progress of this trial. should
carry it forth and spread it in the saloons and in all
the popular resorts OF youth. have lived too fast
It is the most rcible as it is the most graphic ex
preston of the unhealthy life that characterizes
shall be allowed to say, multitude of young men
in this beautiful city. In no town in the world 90
the centres of allurcment and temptation bear such
a proportion to the population. Extravaganza in
dress, extravaganza in living, dangerous extrava-
gance every where, is apparent to the observer nor
need that observer puritanical glasses to see
what allude to. Perhaps it is the inseparable in
cent of the marvellous growth of this great city;
and when things become more settled, and when the
more conservative institutions of society become
tablished their superior moral force will cause all
other elements and tendencies to revolve around the
true central influences of society,""

ENrERpRIs1NG YOUNG Men TIE VAN.-We
arc not given fippant filings at that estimabe and
indispensable class of citizens, termed in the par
lance of the 'day-:Old Fogies, for although it is
true that the wheels Of government as we'll as com.
merce are sometimes seriously retarded by the an
tiquated ideas of superanuated sages yet it is abb
soIutcy indispensable that the goaheodoticeness of
our people should have certain safeguard in the
slow and sober deliberation of the older heads And
therefore we think very delicate and diluted in
fusion of fogyism may occasionally be productive Of
some little benefit But then " old Fogies" should
be used in politics and commerce as ballast is ap-
propriated in ship-quetly laid aside when there
is more profitable freight to be taken aboard.
These sapient reflections are suggested by the
evidences that meet every hand, of the activ-
ty and energy of our business men generally, and
Of the younger men particuarly-the last though
not the least of which in our knowledge, being the
lease of the extensive warehouse of the late lament
ed Josiah Wills, by the prosperous intelligent, and
enterprising firm of A. N. McPheetcrs CO.

U The following, from the Washington Union,
presents clearly and truly the difference between
the Democrats and Know Nothings the vital
question of slavery:
"A FACT FOR SOUTHERN Know NoTHINGs.-A
great many words are being written and spoken by
the southern know nothngs in defence Of their ex-
traordinary course in Congress. Their attempt to
hold the democracy responsible because that party
cannot and will not surrender principle intertwined
with the very sources Of its vitality, proves unms.
takaby how willing they are to forget that essential
issue which concerns the honor the rights, the in
tercsts, present and future, of the men and women
of the South for the sake of oaths and obligations
wretched and so d;sgraceful that those who assume
them are ashamed to admit the fact But what We
wish to say to the southern know nothings is this:
Let the know-nothing party of the, Union meet in
section-the vestge of nationality left to the south
side of the order--be presented in that convention,
and the result will be its almost unanimous rejec.
ton by the northern members. So much for the
nationality of the order; and observe, when We
speak of the northern members of that order, do
not mean mere wing or limb, such as that which
was left in Pennsylvania after the abolition know.
nolngs had retired, but the majority of those who
belong to it. and have sworn before high Heaven to
he to its principles; and observe further, that
tie most popular idea of nationality in the order is
that which ignores the whole question of slavery
piece Of insolent daring at the very moment when
abolitionism deties the obligations of religion and
law, and arrogaes to itself supreme control in one
branch Of the national Congress. MOI take the
democratic party in national conventioK "a present
the principle Of the Kansas and Nebragek bill, and,
tho result will be its emphatic and fearless endorse
ment without reserve, without hesitation and with
out shrinking. So that when We are told by the
southern w-nothings that the democracy deserve
censurc for refusing. to surrender principle and
not DESTROYS of having national organization, it
is best TO remember that the democracy speaks for
the North asNsll - for the South, and that unlike
soushsfn know nothingism, its principles do not be:

MEssRs. EDITORS Until very recently We have
heard some very tall Boosting by the adherents of
the Know Nothing party about their great strength.

one of Gigantic power, and those having any hope
Of political future should not be so rash to
bat it THAT it was party of unprecedented pop.
ularity and would carry every thing before it like
mighty thunder-gust- the two old parties had
become corrupt in their principles that the lead
ers of them could not be trusted with the reins of
government and therefore something should be done
to put end to SO corrupt and needless legislation
But since the elections have passed and the people
have spoken in thunder tones against their and
principles we hear butlitte about principles strength
or nationality. The party has become alarmed as
its candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presiden
cy postponed until later date than the time set
apart by the Convention. The Raleigh Register of
the 10th inst, has the following laconic words as
part of his objection: If the American candidates
should be men of characters fair as angels
in nine months Democratic editors and orators would
make them as black as the DEVILS, and thus ensure
their defeat"
What change has taken place in few months
Wonder if the Editor is afraid of being defeated
Wonder if he feels like surrenderng Sans ship
Has he been looking the statistics lately or
has he been looking into the character of his most
prominent brethren? Ipresume he has been weigh
nS tneir CnarocterS III the pOltlcal balance ana has
found them to be wanting. The Editor has such
motley crew Of brethren to deal WITH that it would
be rather difficult undertaking for him to find one
with 80 clear character politically but that the
Democratic Editors and orators could find lust
ground for censure. Intact do not know which
way the Editor could start to make selection for
ali his friends are too we'll known before the public
for them to imagine that they could be promo
ted to tho Presidency, the words of Messrs Rayner
aud Miller to the contrary notwithstanding for they
mvewoven their winding sheets long since, and
therefore he will have to ask assistance from some
other source. Taking all things into consideration
think the Editor has acted the part of wisdom in
appealing to his1fiends to have the nomination put
off to as lateadate a. possible, as he has but little
ammunition ptosexpend in behalf of the nominee:
bat 1t looks rather dark to just and honorable
community. AMERICA.
