which leap like angels from the temple OF

the cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of earth; then pass off, and leave Us to
muse upon their faded loveliness! Why is
it that the stars who hold their festival a
round the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp of ohr limited faculties; forever
mocking us with their unapproachableg glory
And, finally, why is it that the bright forms
ofhuman beauty are presented to our view
and then taken from lis, leaving the thousand
streams of our affections to flow back in AL.

A Picture OF AN Abolition City.

The systematic falsehoods. prepared in
Kansas, and circulated iii the free States
through such mediums as the New York
Tribune, are satisfactorily accounted for in
the suhJolning statement, which we find in q
late number of the Hartford (Connecticut)
Times:
"Mr.. Pease, of this city, who recently
went out to Kansas with Mr.. Lines compa
N.Y. has returned. He says Lawrence City
presents an unfavorable appearance. -
There is no thrift, no prosperity, apparent;
but whiskey-poor whiskey, tools poured
down on every hand. 1t is dealt out in al.
most every building. Drinking is the prin.
cipdl business, and it is backed by idlers,
the people generally waiting for 'ad from
the east. Shapes rifles were offered to
him, he says, for ten dollars each. The
price in Hartford where they are made, is
S25 aud $2S. Exaggerated stories are star.
ted in Lawrence City, and sent off to keep
up excitement in the east, and bring in more
aid to support the idlers id doing nothing ex
cept to drink whiskey, circulate false Re.
ports, and talk politics. Such is the state
of things in Lawrence, the result o ofunusual
efforts to manufacture slavery agitation with
reference to the coming presidential cleo
ton"

Who is RespOnsibIe-Thc TrOu-
bles in KANSAS.

The New York Observer, the great orgar
OF the Presbyterians in this country, and one
OF the best of our religious journals, speak
ing OF the assassination of JONES, in con
nec!ion with the celebrated New Hayer
meeting, says: .....
"Professor SillIaan and Mr.. Dutton NAV
disaVow having given any advice that can bt
construed into encouraging men to violence
(Nlr. Beecher cannot,) but the influence o
the rifle meeting at New Haven, and of tho
lncendiary speeches elsewhere ON the same
subject, has been to infame the m inds of tht
colonlsts and to prepare them for deeds o
3eiood This 'couIsels Of these advocates O
th have not been ped7c;eefflIifi and such al
become the gospel. And if uneducated ant
impulsive men in Kansas where the restraint
OF law is weak, are tempted to go beyonc
the advice of the New Haven meeting, even
to the murder of sheriff, who will not say
that in the eye of Heaven terrible respon.
sibility rests on those who advised the Kan.
sus emigrant to go with arms in his hand, tc
take possession of the soil of his own coun.
try! .... ..
"ln the New Haven meeting, when one Of
the donors of rife, was announced bv the
name of 'Killam,' one of the 'cIerpymen
cried out: 'Kildm! That's a sign ifcan,
name;' and the walls of the house of G cd
rang with applause of the Infamous, murder.
Gus comment. That single fact was enough,
as it was spread over the villages of newly.
settled Kansas,'o tell the people that Chris.
tlan ministers in New England, and Chris.
tian people crowding the churches, were
willing to applaud the sentiment of murder !
"On the authors of such atrocious senti,
ments rests the responsibility of the blood
that follows their promulgatlon. The best
authorities assured us that Kansas was be.
coming quiet, and now the incendiary ap.
peals of these fanatics in the East are reach
ing the West and stirring up the people
again to deeds Of violence. The cause of
freedom is put in peril. The Free State
movement is liable to be brought into dis
grace by such atrocities Governor Reeder
has distinguished himself by delivering an
eloquent speech denouncing the assassin,
and declaring that the Free State movement
needs no such aid, but suffers from it. If
the cause Of freedom Is ruined in Kansas,
and the slave power gets the ascendcncy,
the result-which we do not anticipate-.may
be fairly charged to the violence Of these
Eastern fanatics, whose measures have pro-
Voked resistance. Peaceful emigration was
sure to make Kansas q free State. We trust
it will yet. But this wicked movement to
make every colonist soldier, and to prepare
him for deeds of blood, is SO unlike the Cos
pei method of promoting good cavse that
1t cannot be expected to prosper" "

GREAT CURE OF RHEUMATISM.-
The Editors of the Richmond Republican,
of Dec. u, 1852, say that Cartcr's Spanish
Mixture is no quack medicine.
They had man in their press room who
was afflicted with violent Mcrcurial Rheu-
matism, who was continually complaining of
misery in his back, limbs and joints;
eyes had become fevcrish AMI mattcry, neck
swollen, throat sore, and all the symptoms
of rhcu,n tism, combined with Scrofula
Two bottles Of Carter's Spanish Mixture
cured him, and in an editorial notice as
above, they hear testimony to it's wonderful
good effects, and say. their only regret is,
that all suffering with diseases of the blood
are rot aware of Of the existence of such a
medicine. They cheerfully recommend it.
