paw actually forsook the earth, until at la ct the
discounted divinity desisted but he was little
surprised at his defeat, when he learned that
this creature which seemed to be cat, and moth
ing more, was not merely cat, but that it be-
longed to and was part of the great Terrestrial
Serpent, which in its innumerable folds, encir.
cled the whole globe. Even so the creature whose
paws are now fastened upon Kansas, whatever it
may seem to be, constitutes in reality part of
the Slave Power, when, with loathsOme folds, is
now coiled upoh the whole land.
Thus do expose the extent of the present con-
test, when We encounter not merely local resist
ance but also the unconquered, sustaining arm be-
hind. But cut OF the vastness of the Crime at
tempted, with all its woe aud shame, derive q
we'll founded assurance of commensurate vast
ness of effort against it by the aroused masses of
the country, determined not only to vindcate
Right against Wrong, but to redeem the Repub-
lie from the thradom of that oligarchy which
prompts, directs and concentrates the distant
wrong. Such is the crime, and such the criminal
which it is my duty in this debate to expose, and,
by the blessing of God, this duty shall be done
to the end. But this will not be
enough. The Apologies which, with strange hard
ihood, have been offered for the Crime, must be
brushed away, so that it shall stand FORTH with
out single rag, or fig leaf, to cover its vileness
And, finally, the true remedy must be shown
The iect is complex in its relations, as it is
in importance and yet, if am
honored by your attention, | hope to exhibit it
clearly in all its parts, while l conduct you to
the inevitable conclusion that Kansas must be
admitted at once, with her present constitution,
as State of this Union, and give new star to
the blue field of our National Flag. And here
derive satisfaction from the thought, that the
cause is too strongin itself as to bear even the in
irmities of its advocates; nor can it require any
hing beyond that simplicity of treatment and
moderation of manner which desire to cultivate.
Its true character is such, that like Hercules, it
viii conquer just so soon as it is recognized.

HORRIBLE INHUMANITY OF 4 STEP
MOTHER.

A recent trial before the Hardin County Court,
has developed systematic course of cruelty by
a Mrs. Hubbard toward her step-daughtcr, girl
of thirteen years, that exceeds anything of which
years past, the young girl had been subject to
constant dyspepsia and to occasional commissions,
with the most excruciatng pains in her stomach
Recently, she vomited up thirty-three pins, of
various sizes, and five needles issued from her
side. This led TO an investigation, in the course
of which the girl stated that her step mother,
assisted by another woman, had, at different in
tervals, thrown her down and compelled her to
swallow pins and needles. Since the girls stom-
ach has been relieved of the pins and needles,
her general health has been rapidly improving

PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF JAMES G.
pERCIVAL.

About two months ago, while dining at hotel
in the City Of Galenn. ILL.,, our attention was at.
tracted by an old man, who sat nearly opposite to
us. His features were sharp, his complexion
bronzed, few gray locks struggled overa high
forehead. whose appearance was sadly marred
by sticking plaster side, and his snnken
eyes had a down-cast look. His dress was Of
coarse blue wooden, and its thrcadbare appear
ance Indicated that it had done good service to
its owner. In short, his whole appearance was
that of some up-country farmer, or sold codger''
from the mines, who felt i'll at ease s'among
folks" Indeed. so repulsive was the first i'm
preston, that some of the ladies at table seemed
to feel almost insulted, because he had been
seated near them. Yet that old man with his
rough dress, his rugged features, and ugly patch,
was no less than james G.. Percival--one of the
most gifted of Americas poets, and one of the
most eminent scholars Of the present age.
All young maiden, had you known who that
cold codgcr'' was, the smile of derision which
settled upon your lip, would have budded into
smile of welcome; and your eyes would have
rested on those gray hairs with lingering admira-
ton. But the setting was rough that you did
not discern the gem which it enclosed, and you
little dreamed that beneath that fOrbiddng ex-
terror there was heart full of poetry and love,
and brain rich in knowledge and thought. And
had YOU heard the story of early love, your heart
would have sweled with pity and respect for that
quiet old man.

The receipts of the New Yo:k and Erie Rail-
road for the first eight working days of the present
month: it is reported, amounted to $230,O00 !;
equal to an average of $29,O0oper day.
The Erie Railroad is one of the best roads in
this country. Telegraphic stations along the
line communicate to the head quarters in New
York city the movements of every train, and
when a train leaves station, the time when is
made known at the other station, rendering it
almost impossible for accidents to happen. The
cars are wide AMI commodous, clean and neat.
and the general equipments of the road are in
excellent condition. The conductors gentle
manly and obliging. and travellers On their way
East, taking this route. will pass through a most
magnificent section of N. Y. State. We cannot
commend it too highly.

Com Co.'s WORTHLESS FOR FEED.-We have sew
eral times been called to account for stating that
inventions for grinding cobs valueless to the
world, because nothing was accomplished of any
value by the grinding: because the cob of the
Indian corn contained scarcely as much nutri-
ment as the wood OF several species of forest
grind the stalks of the corn, or stalks of wheat,
oats, barley. or any of the common grasses. In
this opinion we are eorroborat ed BY the analysis
of DIR. Charley I. jackson. showing only l-2
per cent. of nutriiive matter. consisting of gum
starch and dextrine. This shows that cobs are
worth more for fuel than for food of animals.

Immediate measures were taken to hide all arms

SPEECH OF HON. CHARLES SIMMER.
We make room to-day for part of the great
speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, Senator in Con-
grcss, from the State Of Massachusetts. Ii is
classical, searching and powerful effort, and will
live and be read long after the name of the
coward Brooks has been wiped from the pages Of
time. 1t is not surprising to that Slavery
squirmed under the sedge hammer blows of the
reused and indignant GATOR: nor do we blame
Cass, Douglas, Mason for wincing at the
logical and intellectual shafts that were sent
quivering from eloquent ana earnest lips, into
their doughfacc hearts. The current of truth
OVERRIDE all rposition-bro!lc down the barriers
that had been erected 10y the enemies of Free
Kansas, and laid bare 50 plainly the iniqutous
schemes Of the Slavery pronagandists, that brute
force was rcsortcd TO in order to cope with men
tai power and to .:cr,Ish out the vital spark of
free speech Bat though manned by the blows
of an assassin, given in the hall of the Federal
Capitol of this country, the true man 'stl lives''
to lift his voice again, and to again hurl words
of fire all along the line of the cowardly army
of bu!lics and black guards who are seeking to
blot from the Constitution Of the Union the very
corner stone Oh which is erected the temple of
Liberty! The thunder tones of Charles Sumner
will be heard again. They will be caught up
in the furthermest extremities of the North, the
Fast and the West, AMI sent over valley, hill
AM plain, onward, still onward, until every
servile tool Of Slavery, North or South, shall
feel their force and remblc at their powcr. The
Press will echo and re-echo the language of the
young Roman the people will catch the inspra-
ton Of the hour, and one vast flame of fire will
mark out the line over which the insidious SER
pent of Slavery will not be permitted to crawl
one inch. The finger of time points inevitably to
this result. The clicking of the clock warns the
South to stand back. Another blow and this
Union is dissolved.

THE WAR IN KANSAS !-"SAVE
THE UNION!'

The startling news from Kansas we gave
yesterday, will arouse the North to sense OF
her position, and open the eyes of many who
for the past year have been endeavoring to
"save the Union "Oh! the Union the
gloroas Unon!" has been the bug-bear since
1857. In 1920 this cry gave to Slavery what
did not belong to it. In 1850 when the Fugi-
tive Slave Law was passed, the same cry gorged
the plethoric stomach of Slavery with another
slice of free territory. In 1854 when the Com
promise was broken down, again the cry was
raised, "Save the Union!' and we of the
North (some of us at least turned our skins
inside out i'll order to save the GLORIOUS I'm
ion." Then, Kansas was invaded murders
chaotic elements came the booming sound
Save the Union" And so all along, from
the first moment that Slavery oyerslepped its
legitimate limits, to the present time-the cry
has come for,h---"Save the Union! What
now Kansas is TO be subjugated by bullet,
fire and sword The lives Of innocent men
have been taken. The corn-cob of Slavery
has been thrust into the mouth OF Liberty. The
genius of our institutions las been trampled
in the dust .---when even now comes up from
the blood stained ground of the Revolution, the
sycophantic cry ol---"Save the Union" We
have been good patriot TO the Union! We
acquiesced in the Fugitive Slave Law to save
the Union. We submitted to the humiliation
of,he Missouri Compromise to save the Union
We were even willing to tolerate some of the
outrageS in Kansas 10 save the Union, but if
the Union is 10 be preserved at the price OF all
these, aye! OF more, Of the suhjugation of
Kansas 10 the rlcnals of Slavery. then we say,
let il crack into thousand atoms, and let one
convulSve heave bury j, in eternal obscuritv
But we apprehend no such disaster. We
believe that when the South is fully aware that
there IS a North, that this bug bear of disso-
luton OF the Union will cease, and then we
shall have gained an ascendency over tie Slave
power never yet attained in the history of this
country.
Republicans .---lovers OF Freedom .--.lovers
of Right and Justice! Don't be any longer
hoodwinked by the cry of '.Save the Unionr'
Let us act together, firmly, determinediy, uni
teddy insisting that Kansas shall be "a Free
State though it lie at the sacrifice oil thousands
of lives, or over the shattered fragments Of
discovered States
