Rights of Foreigners.

On inquiry at the General Land office
we learn that there is no law of Congress
giving away the lands in these Terrific
ries to foreigners. The 18th and 18th
sections ofthe act of Congress, approved
July 2ed, 1854, (Statutes at Large, p.
$40, direct the unsurveyed lands to be
exposed to sale from time to time, in the
same manner and upon the same terms
and conditions as the other public lands
of the United States, which sections are
now in full force. Lands are not only
not given away to foreigners, but they
are excluded from the benefits oil

peration. are confined to citizens of the

Tor War-like purposes now in existence
The small carbine now used by the u.

not complicated in structure, is easily
clearned, and suffers no injury from wet

distance with a musket and bayonet, and
before he can bring the bsyonet into use,
the rifle can be loaded and discharged
ten times. They carry balls with great
precision and force. Mr. Sharp intends
these rifles to become a national weapon,
and should Congress, by using little
hberality, purchase the patent, the coun
try would be possessed of means for

The Governor at one time determined

that their arms were private property,

lists, to too great humiliation, and We are
satisfied that it was the more prudent
course, even as regards the safety of the
persons and property of the pro-slavery
men in that portion of the Territory
The abolitionists have shown that they
are not only miserable towards, but
have been So terribly frightened that
there is no danger of any open violence
in the future. They have been cowed,
but not trampled on; they have thus far
their fear to restrain, without having
their cowardly vengeance aroused to
commit secret crimes /,
They have seen that in moment a
force can be arrayed sufficient to crush
them-the boasted promises of their
leaders are falsifed-they have been COM
PEELED to back out from the position taken
in their public meetingsand conventions,
to yield obedience to the laws. even to
aid in enforcing them. All this has been
effected without bloodshed. Had the
natural embittered feelings of many of
the pro-slavery men once burst forth. it
would not have been in the power of any
to control them. The Territory would
have been secured the last abolitionist
executed. The moral effect would have
been far less than the peaceable submis-
sion we have seen effected. Greeley and
his Eastern aids are made tos that they
are at the mercy of brave and good men.
Southern men have proof that they and
their property are safe-will be protect
ed.
Many instances have been related illus
trating the difference in the spirit of the
men of the two parties. Sharp's rifles
had no terrors for the Squatters were
no protection to the towards who had
them. In one instance three abolitionists,
armed with rifles and revolvers, were out
as a sort of scout, when one of the pro-
slavery men seeing them gave chase ;
they all fed into Lawrence, one of them
receiving shot which We learn proved
fatal. On another occasion. shortly af-
ter the militia begsn to assemble, twenty
three abolitionists posted as Il picket
guard, were met by sixofthe other guard
were ordered to halt, and compelled to
march back to town! Neither arms nor
odds ayailed them-the metal was not
there.
We are grstifed at the result-grati-
fed that Gov. Shannon, while admins
tering the law rigidly. was able toadmin-
lister it mercifully. And we look to no
future trouble in the Territory. At the
polls-on the battle field, the abolition
lists have been signally vanquished.--
They must seek another field for their
operations.-W Weston -Argus.

ehoice Poetry.
A Poem, from the Hidden Path.
By MARION HARLAND.

A peaTly mist, like a young brides veil
Floats softly Ger the sea,
And SD. rtsome waves that all the day
Have flashed and danced in giee-
Each ripping smile now passed away
With the autumn suns red glare
lie hushed-as happy children bow
At their mothers knee in prayer.
The same sweet calm is en- my heart
The gently heaying tide
Bears now no trace of storms that swept
Ger it in angry pride.
The surface sleeps all TRANQUILITY
Der earth-born passions grave,
And gieam, like that of Heavens first star
L trembling on the wave.
Father thank thee though this light
Be not the roseate hue
That tinged with fresh and changeful shade
Ny soul. when life was new
Though the foany pillows bound no more
In sunbright reyelry;
Nor echo back ths tempest's shout
And wild winds anthem free;
Though in the deep look in vain
For youthful visions fair
Yet the rich pearls of Faith end Hope
Lie fondly craaled there.
Oh may Thy love as twilight dews
Upon my spirit rest,
And still that ray of heavenly light
Be mirrored in my breast.
