THE FREE HEARTS OF THE SOUTH

Ths battle rsw raging foT and against Slavery Ex
ten.iO is regarded BY nol with deeper interest,"
anxious regard than by the opponents Of Slavery
in the South. These Know that the enslayement Of
Ksnsas forges chavls for their limbs, new pad
locks for their lips. Let it be settled that the North
will not firmly earnestly successfully resist the esao
sbment of Slavery in Kansas and they may not hope
for liberty to speak they think and feel for sener
alton. But let Ere. dom now triumph in the eiec''n
Of Fremont, and tue South will be found Per'adeu
with noble spirits who dare boldly proclaim 'ha' 'aey
hate injustice AID love impartial Liberty.

We think it was Lord Byron who tells the story
of the reply of Mrs. Warren, the wife of Backing
Warren, when asked how her husband found time
to write all the poetica advertisements of that IA
nous preparation, "Oh no, indeed, he has too
much to do for that; ,rc keeps pet on purposs."
We are sure that The London Leaf Ter must keep a
patent Yankee Democrat in the SAME way, to write
its articles and transient notices of this country aud
the things therein happening. We do rot think il
possible for any mere John Bull TO furnish such a
case Of continent Border Ruffanism as may be seen
in that of The Leader by any one cliDicsly incnef
through simple incubation. The writer of the
American articles we are confident must have had
the disease in the natural way, 60 marked and char
acterstic are all the symptoms. The Border Ruff
fan slang comes too glib from the tip Of his pen TO
be mere elegant acquisition made by LIBERAL
minded Epclishnan in search of useful information
There are certain graces which are beyond the reach
of art-which one not native and to the manner
born cannot snatch, however ambitious of Selling
them. What Yankee for example could ever hope
TO poter flash with the facile uency of one of the
London fancy At any rate, if the writer of the
articlesin question be an Engllshman, he is most
remarkably Americanized one-one whom we are
confident any Fillmore Lodge of Know-NothingS
would be- willing to admit a. an honorary member,
without regard TO baptismal registers or certificates
cfnatiye birth snd ancestry.
We have not space on our crowded table to serve

In the House about two hundred Members were
on hand. Mr. Hodges Of Vt. and Messrs. Allen

Delegate from Kensas were presented. Mr.. Grow
objected to their reception. Mr.. Phelps thought
precedent justified the swearing III OF Mr. Whit

the case go by as it did last session Mr. Grow

been no valid election in Kansas, aud for that rea

There had been no change since, and the House

earnest request that the friends OF Total Abstinence
in every par, of our State should be fully and ably
represented in the proposed Convestion. 1t 10 high
time that our position were fully considered and our
future course resolved on. The following impor-
tsnt topics will come naturally under review 81 TINS
meeting:
|. The scope and effect of the bar-room decision
pronounced by our Court of Appeals last Winter by
which the Prohbitory Law was nullifed;
. The prac,icabiIty of framing a new act
which shall be at once Prohibltory in practice and
conformabe 10 the constitutional dicta of the Court
of Appeals;
2 The practicability of passing such an act;
and
4. The feasibility Of sustaining sud enforcing it.
The last named point is our sravest difficulty,
though none of tie four is less than serious. What
the Court decided no one appears fully TO under
stand. beyond the conclusion of a majority OF It's
members that Liquor already in the State prior to
the passage of the act Of Prohibition could rot be
copfscated under il. Whether the Court would
or would not bare considered the act constitutional
had lis inhibiti,ns applied only to Liquors there
after distilled or imported, We do not know: who
does And whether it is possible to frame an act
which would stop the Liquor Traffic, yet would not
be nulfied by the Appeal Judges, we cannot even
guess.
But The great practical question is this; Suppose
an effective Prohbitory law enacted, and fully up
held by the Courts is there the requisite virtue and
devotedness in the People of our State to sustain
and enforce that act If there is, let us renew the
fights for we can in tine obviate the Judges cavils,
or f their places with better men. And we have
no doubt at all that if the question OF Prohibition
or License were to be submitted 10 direct vote OF
the People, Prohibition would receive large ma
iority-proyded of course it were morally certain
thatvoting Prohibition would insure Prohibition
not semblsnce of it, but the actually. But if
PrOhibitoIy act is to remain dead letter on the
statute boOk-if Democratic Temperance men
are TO stand BY and chuckle to see such dema-
gogues as Seymour and Parker make party
and personal capital among rumselers aud
tipplers BY claiming Free Rum as an eminently
Democratic dogma-if such Temperance apostles
as Deayan and Wilder are to vote against Judges
known to favor Prohibition, electiug such as viii
condemn and subvert it-then we mast be counted
out in any future computation of those who urge
the reenactment of Prohibition The Republican
Prohbitonists are not able alone to sustain it, II
they are to be deserted in the future as they have
been in the past, then it is eTey way advisable
that no further attempt to enact Prohibition should
be made If the effect of an earnest effort for Pro-
bibiti IN is TO be the distraction and prostraton Of
the Republican party, without securing the EN-
aimed at, then we prefer to wait awhile before
making such effort.

For some reason the friends Of Mr.. Buchanan
have from the first deemed it necessary to the sue
cess of their cause to heap personal assaults upon
Col. Fremont They began with the attacks Of
Mr. Bigler in the Senate, which were supposed,
with reason to be inspired by Mr.. Buchanan him.
self; they continued in the refined and gentle
manly style through the campaign; and then, after
il over, their leading organs anxiously looked
about for new themes of SANDER and backguard-
ism. In this search The Union and The PenRsyl-
ranian trumpet up story that in the latter part of
October Col. Fremont was privately in Philadel-
pha, and there attempted to bride and corrupt Mr..
Isaac Newton of Delaware Co., Penn, one of the
candidates for Fillmore Electors The most dis
hor orable propositions, these journals said, were
made BY Col Fremont on that occasion, but With
cut success. This story We proved to be false on
IFS first appearance, by the fact that Col. Fremont
was not in Philadelphia at all during the Preslden-
tai canvass, and We now complete the demons.ra-
ton by the evidence of Mr.. Newton himself, which
we publish in another part OF this paper.
