Depredations in Kansas.

A letter to the Democrat from Topeka, of
the 2sth, says: Forty-ive U. s. Dragons
werc placed at that place, and one hundred
and sixty at Lawrence. 1t is reported that
a party of Col. Buford's, who were encamped
at Ossawatomus had committed many depre-
dations upoa the squatters, who becoming en-
ragged, made an attack upon the company VI
killed fve and drove the remainder to Mis )
ri.
The pro-slavery men in that vicinj'
tilted with the trouble in Kansas,
waited upon by n Committee, AM
Kansas, have been waited upon bya
tee, and ordered to pack up and move
souri, instanter. Many families have comp.
with the command. The greatest excitement
prevails in that portion Of Kansas. Shannon

serve order. Tho Investigating COMMITTEES

Commonwealth that gives me the privileg,
to plead for Kansas on this floor, knows hcr
rights, and will maintain them firmly to the
end. This is not the first time in history tha,
her public acts have been arraigncd, and tha,
her public men have been exposed so con
tumely. Thus was it, when, in oldcn time
she began the great battle whose fruits you
now enjoy. But never yet has she occupied
so lofty a position rs at this moment. BY
tho intelligence of her population-by the
resources Of her industry-by her commerce
c'cnving every wave--by her manufacturers,
various as human skill-by her institutions OF
benevolence, various rs human suffering-by
the pages Of her scholars and historians--by
the voices Of her poets and orators, she is now
cxerting an influence more subtle and COM
" gusas ssss ncr rSAs
prevail, and flashing light even upon those
who travel far to persccute her. Such is
Massachusetts,, and l am proud TO believe
that you may as well attempt, with puny
arm, to topple down the carth-rooted, hcav-
en- kissing granite which crowns the historic
sod Of Bunker Hill, as to change her fixed
resolves for Freedom everywhere, and espec-
ially now, for Freedom in Kansas. exult,
too, that in this battle, which surpasses far
in moral grandeur the whole war of the Rev
oution, she is able 10 preserve her just cmi-
nence. To the first she contributed a larger
number Of troops than any other State in the
Union, and larger than all the Slave States
put together; and now to the second, which
is not Of contending armies, but Of contening
opinions on whose issue hangs trembling tho
advanced civilization of the country, she con-
.trbutes through the manifold and endless in
tellectual activity Of her children more Of that
divine spark by which opinions arc quickened
into life, than is contributed by any other
Ttate, or by all the Slave States put togeth-
or, while her annual productive Industry ex-
GELS in value three times the whole vauntcd
cotton crop OF the whole South. Sir, TO
men on earth it belongs only to deserve sue
cess; not to secure it; and l know not how
soon the efforts of Massachusetts will wear
the crown of triumph. But it cannot be said
tha. she acts wrong for herself or children,
when in this cause she thus encounters re-
proaeh No; by the generous souls who
were exposed at Lexington; by those who
stood arrayed at Bunker Hill; by the many
from her bosom who on all the battle fields
of the first great struggle, lent their vigor-
GUS arms to the cause Of all; by the children
she has borne, whose names alone arc nation
al trophies, is Massachusetts,, now vowed ir-
revocably to this work. What belongs to the
faithful servant she will do in all things, and
Providence shall determine the result.

The Difference between Men.

We often see an old and weather
beaten man who never had success
in life, who always knew more and ac-
complshcd less than any Of his asso-
ciatcs, who took the quartz and dirt
OF enterprise, while they took the gold;
and yet. in old age, he is the happier
man. He had IA sum Of hope, and they
of desire and ,grced--and amid all this
misfortune and his mysterious provi-
dcnces he had that within him which
rose up and carried his heart above all
and upon their world wide
waters bore him up like the old Ark
upon the Delugc. 1t was the Dcluge
that gave out--not the Ark. God has
distributed his gifts. 1t takes "a score
of them TO make one man. One sup
plies the swift sagacity; another the
cautious logic; another the impclling
force; another the hope, another the
practical tact-one supplies general
principles, another the working plans.
Men seldom unite By the strong points.
1t is mems weaknesses that bind them
together. By distributing gifts, God
makes one man dependant upon an
other, and YIELDS society together by
every man neccessitous. in
some places ~ regards other men.

A Rich Sermon.

Where is the man with Lis harp ola

sermon loses much its humor, because
we cannot put in print the sing song
style and appropriate gestures that
accompany it,
My friends-ah, sin makes the pur-
ticSt Young man or CONAN in the world
ugly ah. And I'll tell you how know
an, as il was coming up to church to-
day all, | saw some young men in the
road oh. And | thought one Of them
the purticst young man all | ever saw
ali in my life all. And as drew nigh
unto them ah | discovered that they
were playing Nv marylcs an, and they
all drew nigh unto Il place ali what
they called taW alb, and they mawcIcd
ah,--And this purity young man ah
was the last one to marvlc an, and
when he marvled all, he jumped up
and Tapped his hands all, like a rooster
ah does his wings all, and says he ah,
i wish may be d-dif haint fat ah.'
And, oh friends ah then | thought he
was the ugIieSt young man ever saw
in my life ah. And | opened my
mouth and spoke unto him thus ah
says ali, young man ali, this is not the
way to salvation ah.' And says he,
'O'd horse, you had been salivatcd
as bad as have, you wouldn't want TO
hear talk Of salvation.
And now my friends all, when that
ar young man said he was fat ah he
told lie all, for he was as lean ah as
that hungry looking sister over thar
that's always a praying so pious an
while the hat is "a bcin' passed around
ali.
And, my friends all, if that young
man hadn't been blinded by sin ah, he
never would have mistuk me for an
old horse all.

The HiatOrY Of Butter.

FROM the various statements IL his
tory, it may be safely concluded that
the discovery Of butter is attributable
neither to the Greeks nor the Romans,
but that the former We're made ac-
quaintcd with it by the Scythians,
Throcians and Phrygians, and the lat
ter by the Germans, 1t appears, says
Boclmann, that when they had learned
the art of making it, they only employ
ed it as an ointment in their baths, and
particularly as a medicine. 1t is new
err mentioned by Galcn and others as
food, though they have spoken oft as
applicable to othcrpurposes No no.
ticc is taken Of it by Apicius, nor is
there anything said in that respect by
the authors who treat on agriculture,
though they have given accurate in
formation regarding milk, and cheese
and oil. This may be easily account
ed for, by the fact that the ancients
were entirely accustomed to the use OF
good oil. In like manner, butter is
little employed at the present day in
Italy, Spain, Portugal and the south
crn parts Of France, but is sold in the
apothccarics' shops for medical purpo-
scs. During the ages Of pagansm
butter appears to have been very
scarce in Norway; mention is made by
historians Of present Of butter so
large, that man could not carry 1t,
and which was considered u very re-
spectacle gift.
