PROGRESSIVE IDEAS IN MISSOURI.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Thursday, Dec. q, 1855
have been spending the last few days in the
City of Mounds and have listened with ordi.
nary interest to the conversation Of her citizens
relative tc the recent emeutc on the borders OF
Kansas. 1t is the common topic Of conversation in
hotels in shops, and on the decks of steamboats,,
and with great unanimity the people denounce
Atchison, Strngfellow & Co.-(always excepting
the trafickers in ,chiskey and their most devoted
customers.
To one accustomed to the prudent, conservative
trading atmosphere of New York, such mani out
spoken sentiment for Liberty as now greets the ear
in St. Souls is quite refreshing, and argues well
for the future. The people are beginning to feel
that the incubus of Slavery is fching from Mis-
souri, hei good ame-impoverishing the Common
wealth, and keeping her back from the place she is
lentitled to occupy-to take rank with Mississippi
and Arkansas. The wonderful Development OF
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, with their arteries of
iron, which are now extending across the Missis-
sippi and reaching out toward the Rocky Noun
tains, are fast giving to Chicago the commercial
importance which by natural right belongs to St.
Louis: and all this they claim befalls them from
their connection with the peculiar institutions"
In conversation with an intelligent gentleman, he
informed me that few slaves remain in st. Louis for
said he, "There is scarcely morning that you will
not hear that somebody's negro ran away laSt
has become almost q free city. In answer to my
question what he thought would be the result of
the recent Kansas Shindy he replied "that he
thought it more likely to result in making Missouri
a Free State than in making Kansas Stare
State"
There is no question to my mind that the time
is near at hand when the people of Missouri are
to meet this question face to face. To advance the
Republican sentiment we have already in 4 he

ably conducted papers in the West, and The Demo.
crat, edited with marked ability, and great fidelity
to the principles of the early fathers of the Re-
pultic.
Mark my prediction that not five years will
round before Missouri will swing into the line with
the great Free States Of the northwest, when her
vast mineral wealth in iron, lead and coal will be,
gin to be developed, and her magnificent praries
will be cultivated by an intelligent yeomanry
whose growing families shall fill the schoolhouse and
the church.
This change will not be without struggle, and il
behooves every lover of his country be ready to
lend helping hand-by word or deed-as neces-
sity may require. L.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

A letter from Washington, in the y. Y. ObseT-
yer gives the following account Of the habits pre-
yaent ut the Presidents Manson-a subject in
which, from its moral bearings, the whole nation
has an interest Referring to the mCunt of work
the President has to do, the writer proceeds;
| The President, however, has one habit already
well known to the people here, that serves rs a
shield and help in this matter OF labour. lie is q
! Sabbath-keepng man. On the Lords day no com
pany is admitted on any pretext and no business
done except that which may fairly come under the
/ head of necessity and mercy. The clergy OF the
city tell me that Mr.. Pierce is chuTch-gong man,
invariably being in his seat on the Sabbath attend
| ing twice or three times day, and carrying his
early New England habits and predilectons so lar
rs to take pleasure in an evening religious meeting
during the week, when he can find refuge in such
a spot from Tie cares of the day. If the President
were man whose example was bad, there would
be many to proclaim it to the world and as his life
and conversation are such as the religious people
Of this country will rejoice in. it seems to be not
only q propriety, but duty, to say that social
worship is maintained in his family by the Presl-
dent, and that the order Of his household is such
rs becomes the Chief Magistrate of Christian
people. The gay world of course regret the want
Of those splendid balls and parties which have in
! times past made the White House the head-quar-
ters OF pleasure, but the circumstances OF domes-
| TIC sorrow under which the present family came
into the mansion would forbid such scenes, did not
more rational sources of enjoyment
"The temperance people will be glad to know
that the President OF the United States is a total
abstinence man in principle and practice. Gentle
men who have dined with him frequently assure
me that he does not drink wine nor anything but
pure cold water, and this has been his custom for
many years. 1t is so difficult to get at the truth
on such point, and such opposite statements have
been made, that pleased to be able to say this
of the President, on the best of authority"
Of we are no. mistaken, the author Of this piece
of pious twattle about thePresidents Sunday keep
ing habits is certain Presbyterian clergyman,
long identified with Colonization and the worst
form of pro-s,avery in the Church. While honest
men at the North are standing aghast at the meas
ureless vllany of the Presidents in all that
pertains to slavery the New York Observer and
kindred religious papers seek to produce the i'm
preston that he is man of principle and honour
almost Christian! As if a regular attendance
at popular church, where no word of rebuke is
ever administered to Shareholders and their abet-
ters-nay, where they are fattered and caressed-
were any evidence Of good character! As for
the Presidents temperance habits, the word of this
clerical driveller is not worth rush, since it con-
tradicts the statements of persons likely to be far
better informed and more worthy of confidence

that we have really not had time to examine what
1t Is and the apprehension which is excited has
something the mSre appalling in it on account Of
this very mystery. We all know that u number Of
immep7ely patriotic gentlemen have been saving
the Union through series Of crises that reach al.

have their word for it, and because we have seen

The captiyes wait the break Of day.

As if some carrion-hunting ghoul
Had from his horrid feast been scared?

KEEPING THE UNION FROM SLIDING

The explanation Of Mr.. Banks which we pub
lishcd in our telegraphic report, Tuesday morning
was doubtless received with great satisfaction by
our readers. We can we'll imagine the sense OF
relief which, at every breakfast table, must have
followed the official contradiction of the report that
Mr.. Banks was going to "let the Union slide" II
the alarm caused by this report, thus happily set
at rest, has not been very general, it is owing
doubtless to the circumstance that the fell intent
unjustly imputed to Mr., Banks wac net generally

Burglary and Attempt at Murder.


On tie night of the 18th inst, Mr.
Baldwin, a hotel keeper, at Lima, STARK
co. vas awakened, by robbers in the
house. The men ran out and he follow
ed. They warned him to desist, but as
he persisted, one of them shot him, the
ball entering his breast. The next NOR
ming one of the robbers was arrested
He was given into the custody of the
officers to be taken to Canton Jail. On
the way he complained of gravel in the
heel of his boot, and sitting down on
the ground drew off first the right one.
and then saying that the left one troubled
him also, asked the officers to wait till
he took that off; they did go, but as soon
as both boois were of, up he started,
dashed into the woods and was o out
of reach of the officers, who closely pur-
sued him. He then threw off his coat
and hat and doubling his speed was soon
out of sight. As yet neither he nor his
companion in the robbery have been ia
ken. The last accounts Of Mr.. Baldwin
are that he is still living, though his re-
covery is almost impossible.-Leader

AN INDIANS IDEA ON PROPERTY AMI
PRoPRIErY.-The Green Bay Advocate
of the 91st inst, says that a few weeks
since. a Belgian in that vicinity decamp-
ed, leaving his wife and two children in
a stale of destitution. A Chippewa be-
came apprised of their condition just in
time to a v them from death by cold and
hunger, aud took them home with him.
The Chippewa, who is inclined to put his
own construction upon the law relating
to waits and strays, has declared it to be
his intention that, unless the husband is
on hand within a ceraain time to claim
the woman and children, pay charges
and take them away, he shall give them
to his son, a respectable young fellow,
who has sown his wild oats. and reached
that point in life when he is prepared to
take a squaw, and settle down in the
world.

appears that Barstow, the usurping Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, de6es the Supreme
Court of that State, and shakes his efic-
ial fist in its face. He holds himself
above law, and although the most glar.
ing frauds were perpetrated to gain his
election, he threatens to call in the mill
itary aid to defend his seat. The Gem
mittee of TIE Legislature has reported
that Bashford is entitled to the Guber
national Chair, and the Supreme Court
has held that that tribunal has lurisdic-
ton over the case, and Barstow-seeing
that law and justice will deny his claim

upon the party forces TO sustain him.
