man who showed him a kindness in the
quiet days Of bis childhood The
writer ef this recollects himself at
this moments as bare-feoted lad,
standing at the wooden fence of a poor
little garden II bis native village; With
longing eyes he gazed on the flowers
which were blooming there quietly II
the brightness Sunday morning.
The possessor came forth from his
little cottage; hewas a wood-cutter BY
trade, and spent the whole week at
work in The woods. He was come
into the garden to. gather flowers to
stick in his coat when he went to church.
He saw the boy, and breaking off the
most beautiful of his carnations, it was
strcaked with red and white, he gave
it to him, Neither the giyer nor the
receiver spoke aword; and withbourId-
ing steps the boy ran home; and now,
here at vast distance from that home,
after SO many events Of SO many years,
the feeling Of gratitude which agitated
the breastof that boy expresses itself
on paper. The carnation has long

Slavery in Kansas.

The Lawrence papers are laboring hard
to convince their Yankee brethren that
slavery does not and cannot exist in this
Territory. They may succeed in satisfy
ing their Northern friends in this but how
will they get over the census returns, which
will show over one thousand slaves in Kan
sas. An examination Of the Assessors
book of each county. will probably surprise
our editorial brethren in Lawrence. They
will find that several hundred thousand
dollars Of slave property is owned in Kan
sas, and profitably employed, and what is
better, the master and slave both satisfied
with the country. The addition to the
slave property in this county is gradually
increasing by the arrival of wealthy farm
ers from Missouri, Virginia, Kentucky,
and other Soathern States. In every in
stance where it has been tried, their labor
mas brought to their owners larger return
than where they formerly resided, and the
planters from Virginia. who has been in
the habit of supporting his negroes, will
find that in Kansas they cannot only feed
themselves but be profit to their owners.
The climate and soil of Kansas is peculi-
arly adapted to slave labor, and hemp,
corn, wheat, tobacco, and other staples can
be as proftably produced here as in Ken
lucky or other Southern States. In view
of these facts. it becomes the duty of eve-
ry Southern planter. who is not making
money fast in the SoutI, to remove with his
slaves to Kansas, where fortune awaits
him.
Squatter sovereign., 1856-03-04

s9 Principle Never confde in the
principles of timid man. He who has
not courage cannot be said to have princi-
pie; he may be disposed to virtue, and may
prefer good 10 evil; but he is the sport of
chance and the slave of circumstance.
What avail the best inclinations, If resolu-
ton be wanting to put them into practice?
A ieeole and irresoiute man who means
well, is more dangerous than an audacious
and confirmed villain. You know the lat
ter and are on your guard against him;
You rely on the intentions of the former,
and discover too late that, like the son of
Israel, he is unstable as water and shall
not excel.

The River and the Mails.

For the last two weeks the mails have

sumo of the mail carriers about the river.
We know not when it will be any better.
as the ice still hangs on, although the riv

yer to learn the fate of our Delegate,
Whitfield Our anxiety is ne, caused by
any doubt as to the validity of his claim !;
bu, there is no telling to what length fa-
naticism and ignorance will lead men,
When we see such men as Governors
Chase. of Ohio. and Clark. of New York,
giving currency TO the lies that are mana-
iactured by whoi-eaie in Kansas, and falls
flying. either naliciously or ignoran,ly, the
proceedings of our Legislature. and urg-
ing their respective States TO arms for the
assistance OF known traitors, We fear that
q fanatical, ignorant " House at Washing

will and blind bigotry, and inflict wan;on
outrage upon our rights. Ii is most annoy.
ing to be thus circums,anced. and to be eul
off by the river from all connection with
those in whose hands 50 much Of our des-
tiny rests. If We should nos be very en-

excuse.
