Ala for xansaa

Col. Smith, of Lawrence, Kansas. ad.
dressed large meeting of the citizens
of Aurora, on Thursday evening of last
week, aud also spoke on Friday evening
at the Court House in Geneva, to large
audience collected from various parts of
the county. We were notable te astead
either of the meetings, but learn that
both speeches were able and patriotic.
We also learned that at both meetings it
was resolved to give Kansas material aid
in her struggle for freedom. One of our
patriotic citizens headed the list of con-
tributions at Aurora by subscribing $50
toward the fund. 1t was resolved to
raise and deposit in the bank one thou
sand dollars and no one doubts here
that Aurora would raise $4,000 for the
cause, on one hours notice. If deemed
necessary to repel Pierce and lis motly
gang of slave-breeders in their attempt
TO crush out free principles in that Terri
tory.
Another Anti Nebraska meeting was
held at Temperance Hail last evening,
which was largely attended by our citi-
zens and others. who after listening TO
an eloquent address from j. F. Farms
worth. ESQ. adjourned TO meet at Con-
gregational church on next Monday eyea-

Ru. we must make Money.

The following truthful and telling
article OF the Aberdeen { Miss Com
servative, We clip from the Vicksburg
Wing. We heartily wish that we had
more such papers in the south, who dare
to speak out the truth. The editor says:
On asking one of our merchants the
other day something in regard to the
cargo of boat lying at our wharf, he
remarked:
'.She broughtdwo hundred barrels OF
whisky and two of flour"
Now one would suppose from this,
that the staff of life was very plentiful
Just here. Oh! yes: he would hardly think
that there was not 900 bbls. of -four in
town-that one half of the inhabitants
rarely see anything but rnbread-
that destitute orphans-and those still
worse off than they-the children of
the drunkards-are without bread-al-
most furnishing in our midst. But
nevertheless the "exigeneies of the
trade" viii occasionally bring about
such state of things. A man can only
make one dollar on barrel of flour, but
he can ticket ten on each blue head
Il is true the latter may spread dismay
and desolation around, but we must
make money. or it may convert the kind
father into a demon, the family 6reside
into hell, but we must make money
it may cause poor HUman' tears 20. fall
like April showers, but we mast make
money-it may besgar innocent chil-
dren, but we must make n,oney-it may
cause man to stain his hand with his
neighbors blood, but We must make
money-it may convert a good citizen
into brute, but we must make money
lit may crowd the docket Of the court,
but we must make money-it may fur
5ish inmates for the penitentiary and
victims for the gallows. but We must
make money-it may blight character,
! bring poverty. produce premature dis
ease, destroy body and soul. but we
must make money.
Oh! let those who are engaged In the
traffic, many of them warm-hearted,
generous men, think for a moment on
these things. We feel very sure il
they will only think Of the baneful infiu-
ence of the liquor traffic. they would al
once abandon il for some more noble and
useful employment.
Will they stop to think. that is the
question? Some dare not think.-Soath.

therefore, it Is the sense of this meeting
that the inhabitants of Kansas we're justi-
fed in resoriing to their organic rights
in elecling body of lawmakers. who
should be in fact as well as in name, rep
resentatiyes of the people oil that Terri
tory.
Resolved, That the Missouri Com
promise having been destroyed to eslab-
lish the principle of Squatter Sovereign
ty. it was the duty of Congress and the
President to see the latter frankly carried
out. and the attempt of Franklin Pierce
to side with the pro-slavery Missouri in
vaders of Kansas, after they have usnrp-
ed its government. is violation of tie
lanti-seetional professions With which he
came into Office, and justly subjects him
TO impeachment at the bar of popular
sentiment, for treason to the great prin-
ciple of freedom and Republican rights.
Resolved. That the regard and devo-
ton which we entertain for our national
confederance, is best exhibited in man
ly expression of preference for free insti
tutions over slave labor. Free speech. a
free press. aud free labor, being the
great elements Of perpetuity OF the
Union.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathise
with the people of Kansas in the heroic
struggle for freedom upon which they
have entered and We will use all honor
able and legal measures to relieve them
from the violent aggression upon their
political rights with which they are
threatened, and from having the blight
ing curse of slavery engrafted on their
institutions against their consent.
Resolved, That as slavery is injurious
to the moral and industrial welfare of
State, the federal government is bound,
by its relation as guardian of the terrific
ries, to protect them from its evils.

The busy years have yeiied thy brow,
And distance dim has lent Its aid
And sHxpoys come, and lower. now,

And eernmed each valley with delight;

The joys that from thy presence flow

A love, all pure Us angels feel,
Sleeps. gurrdcd by thornless rose,
Nor hceds thy bloom, nor barb of steel.

Or wintry blast her solemn dirge:
And beauty, with magic grace
As on the eircling seasons press

Of vanished worth and logeliness.

Within this bosom sad and drear;

No more. alas no more 70 me,

And from the dim and distant sea,

Gone arc the charms thy presence shed,
Those music tones the blast before;
Earth may renew her giorics fled,
Those tones shall wakcn never more.
Yet memory sad will off recur,
And oft thy transient joys recall
Joys that were purely shared with her
Who sleeps beneath thy rugged pail.
There is bright and blissful Isle,
Uprisen from Times mighty sea.
