an unintentional satire on tie very platform which
be pledges himself to maintain. According to tina!
platform the attempt Of the people of Kansas os their
late Topeka Convention /" to form and regulate their
d" domestic in sttutionsin therown way subjectOnly
"to the Constitution of the United States, is no
better than treason and armed resistance to law
The people Of Ksnsss, so far from having any such
power to form and regulate their own domestic in
stuiiOns are bound, according to that PLATFORM to
submit to tie laws imposed upon them BY their
slayeholdpg neigbbOrs of Missouri, and that uLder
psn Lot only of having their houses robbed and
burned, but of being stgmatized and proceeded
against as guilty of treason and armed resistance
to law" So long as Kansas remains Territory,
the Cir cnnati platform recognizes no power in the
inhabitants to regulate their own domestic insttu-
lions so far as the exclusion Of Slavery is con-
cerned. That power ia only recognized as com.
mencDg with the formation of State Constitution,
an operation which seems TO be pretty dangerous
one in Kansas at least if the Constitution includes
prohibition of Slavery involving liability not
only to Border Rufian INVASION but to be arrested
for treason and teld for trial without bail. as is
now the fact with respect to some Of the most dis
tipguished citizens of that Territory.
The idea Ct Mr. Buchanan that it must be the
mission of party responsible for the deliberate
violation of solemn compromises. followed up by
the introduction Of Border Ruffianism and sena-
toria club.lsw regular part of political tactics
"to restore the peace, friendship and mutual
" confidence which prevailed in the good old
" time" in point OF modest assurance, is well
borne out by describing this Border Rufau,
fIlibuster, senatorial club.law party as the
orly conservative party in the country
Mr.. Bucbanans pledge if elected, to employ his
term Of office in putting stop to the Slavery agi-
tation, is worth, We suppose, just about as much
as the similar pledge of Mr. Pierce; while under
the .pecious phrase of "ptrfect equality" accord
ing to the sense given to it by Mr.. Bachanans
Southern supporters, may fairly be understood to
lurk promise to secure for the shareholders the
right of travelling with their property" through
all parts of the Union.
In the present struggle for domination on the
part of the shareholders, Mr.. Buchanan has cast his
lot with them. What he might privately wish or
prefer is nothing to the purpose. What his party
requires of him, that he will do, and do without
fpching. Should that party triumph at the next
Presidential election which Heaven fOrefend what
have we of the Free States to expect

Nr. Buchsnan in his letter of acceptance, which
we copy elsewhere, Informs the Committee and
the world that if chosen he expects to allay do
nestle strife, preserve peace and friendship with
foreisn nations aud to promote the bes. interests
of the Republic. These fine promises are, how.
ever. little dashed by the sentence which imme.
diately follows. In that sentence the platform is
accepted along with the nomination, equally with
it, and as insepaable from it; which platform Mr..
Buchanan adopts as his political creed declining
beforehand to answer any nterrogatories or to give
any further exposition of bis views. He expects,
then. we must conclude, to "allsy domestic strife"
after the Kansas fashion, by allowing the slave.
holders to have their way in everything, and BY
treating as "treasOn and armed Resistance tn
claw" all opposition to their wishes, no matter
how violent and illegal may be the methods in
which they choose to give those wishes expression.
And so of preserving peace and Friendship with
foreign natons-that, too, is to be done in accord
ance with the platform, by efforts to insure our a.
tendency in the Gulf Of Mexico, and BY couute.
nance and support to Walker and other 6libussers
engaged in ext. ndipg the area of Slavery in that
direction.
Other portion. of this letter must be understood
with the same grains Of generous allowance. Thus,
for instance, when Mr.. Buchanan declares, that
"we are all equal before God and the Constitution
"and the dark spirit of despotism and bigotry
(which would create odious distinctions among
"our fellow citizens, viii be speedily rebuked by
ga free ard enlightened public opinion"-he must
not be VI dersiood in the esst as intending any prc
test whatever against the arrogant pretensions of
the Shareholders to lord it the citizens of the
Free States, and to control even the debates in
Ccrere.s by threats of violence aad BY actual sp.
psals to club law.
With respect to Mr.. Buchanan's defense of the
Kansas NJ braska act, We must cay he seems to be
ltte bt hind the times. Whist he utters on that
suhjec. is indeed uaos. bitter though w suppose

The law for the suppression Of the African Slave
trade and for the punishment of persons engaged
in fitting out vessels for that detestable traffic, has
been supposed to be pretty stringent. Judge Belts,
in bis charge to the Jury in Lasala's case, tried
day or two snce is reported to have told the Jury
that "the Government has expressed its determi'
"naton to suppress this iniquitOus offense, and
"every power was given by Congress to effect
"that purpose" and yet, what between the
charges of judges and the findings of juries, this
determination of the G Jvernment, and the ample
powers said to have been given by Congress, seem
TO be reduced here in New.YOrk to complete
nullity.
In Lasala's case there appears to have been no
room for doubt on the evidence that he was con-
cerned in the fitting out for the slave trade, of
vessel which actually took a cargo OF slaves in
Africa. There was, indeed, pretense set up tina.
there was nothing in the outfit or the destination
of the vessel inconsistent with the idea Of her being
employed in on innocent voyage, but from the
question put by the Jury to the Court on the
answer to which the finding Of acquittal was based,
it would appear that the Jury gave no weight to
to this suggestion. The dodge upon which Lasala
escaped, WIS IHc Oiu Onc uPou nuiCu SV
many preceding acquittals have been based
that he was not the principal in inflammation, but
was acting merely interpreter and friend for one
Flea, Spanisrd, who came here to purchase the
vessel and whose bills Lasala discounted and tina.
all his acts in relation to the vessel merely as
cashier for Flea. The evidence that Lasala was,
in fact, principal in the transaction, was quite
sufficient, we should have supposed, to have sus-
tanned verd ct based on that assumption; but the
jury seem to have taken the more indugent view,
that Flea was the bona fde principal, and Lasala
only bis friend and cashier for after deliberation
of two hours they Inquired of the Judge whether
upon that state of facts his knowledge that the
vessel was to be employed in the slave trade,
was enough to make Lasala guilty To
this the Judge replied that under the section
upon which he was indicted, he must have been
concerned in fitting out the vessel, either as master
owner, or factor, haring authority orer the ressel,
opd acquiesciDg in her use; but that ii his kuow-
edge was that Of merchant merely, without any
control over the vessel, he could not be convicted;
and on this instruction the Jury returned YER.
dict of acquittsl.
We are happy to learn, however, that there is
another section in this act, under which, even on
Judge Bettss construction, such offenders as Lasala
may be held liable to fine of $4,000; and as this
case appears to be Aagrant one, it is TO be sup
posed that the District-Attorney will lose no time
in getting fresh indictment.

the town. Washington is the county seat of
DaVless county, and was laid out in 1917 bv
Emanuel Van Trees and Peter Wilkins, the
same year in which the county was organized.
The soil in this county is well adapted to the
growth of all the Western staples. Two
SIDES Of the county are bounded bv White
rivers, the bottoms of which are a rich black
loom, and vary in width from one to two
miles The north-east part of the county is
rolling and heavily timbered; the northwest
part level and mterspersed with prairies-the
center is generally level, and the south and
east generally undulatng and with heavy tim
ber. One Of the first water powers in the
whole country is found at the Falls On the
west fork Of White river. This property
with an expenditure Of few thousand dollars
can be made immensely valuable. A steady
water power Of almost any capacity can be
had the entire year; but strange to say this!
property has never been improved as it ought
to have been, and as it will undoubtedly be
within the next few years. All things consid-
cred, Washington has prospered well. Hith-
erto, she has been nothing but an inland town.
with no other outlet than by wagons; but herI
citizens are enterprlsing, moral, Industrious
and perseverlng. They have very respecta-

Offices with full complement Of mechanic
shops.
Our new Straight Line Railroad will pass
through this fine county of land at right angle
with the Q. and NJ Road, and will thus make
its whole area accessible to market; and the
citizens Of Washington, although not feeling
very pleasantly towards US for avoiding their
town in the location of our road will recoverI
we hope from their vexation before the road is
completed, and will crafty us with a renewal
OF our former cordial intercourse.
