The Vatch.--I have now in my
hand said Edward Everett, "a gold
watch which combines embe llishment and
utility in happy proportions, and is often
considered very valuable appendage to
the person of gentleman. Its gold
seals sparkle with the ruby, topaz, sap
phire, emerald, open it, and find tha,
the works, without which this elegantly
furnished case would be a mere shell;
those motionless hands, and those figures
without meaning, are made Of brass In
vestigate further, and ask what is the
spring, by which all these are pu, in mo-
ton, made Of? am told it is made OF
steel. ask, what Is steele The reply
IS that it is iron, which has undergone a
certain process. So then l find the main
spring without which the watch alwavs
would be motionless, and its hands, flo.
ures, and embellishments but toys, is not
Of gold-that is not sufficiently good; nor
OF brass that would not do = but Of iron.
Iron is therefore the only precious metal;
and this watch an emblem of society. It's
hands and figures which tell the hour, re-
semble the master spirits of the age, to
whose movement every eye is directed.
Its useless but sparkling seals, sapphires,
rubies, topaz and embellishmen are the
aris,oeracy. Its works Of brass re the
middle c,ass, by the increasing intclli.
gcnce and power of which the master
spirits Of the age are moved; and its iron
handspring shut up IN box always at
work, but never thought Of, except when
it is disorderly, broke, or wants winding
up, symbolcally, the laborng class which
like the handspring, we wind up by the
payment Of wages, and which classes are
shut up in obscurity, and though constant
ly at work and absolutely as necessary to
the movement OF society as the iron main
spring is to the gold watch; are never
thought Of, except when they require
their wages, or are in some want or dis
order OF some kind or other.

gave so much offence to the Fede ralists
OF Lancaster county.
The memoir again says:
HE was the warm and ardent defende,
OF the administration Of Mr.. Monroe, the
active opponent OF the administration o
John Quincy Adams, and the sonss,en,
and trusted friend of General Jackson
Mr.. Monroe was elected President in
1915, and again in 1921, and Mr.. Blu.
chanan was a Federalist until 1928
when he shifted his position to Jack
son man. and was elected to Congress as
such, but not as a Democrat, as about
that time he, to secure the Federalists to
vote for him, told prominent Federalis,
that IT he had a drop Of Democratic blood
IN has resns, he ,couid let II OUT. There
must have been some n,stake rs to his
having been an ardent defender Of the
ministration of Mr.. Monroe.
On the subject Of Slavery, the memoir
is not very definite, and we will give his
views as expressed in series of resolu.
tons reported by him to public meeting
held in the Court House in the city Of
Lancaster, on the 23d of November
1919.
James Buchanan, James Hopkins and
VIM. jenkins, were appointed commit.
lee on resolutions, and reported the fol-
lowing among others;
Resolved, That the Representatives in
Congress from this di;trict, and they are
hereby, mos. earnestly requested to use
their utmost endeavors, as members of
the National Legislature, to prevent the
existence OF Slavery in any of the new
Territories or States which may be craa-
ted by Congress.
Resolred, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the members Of Congress who,
at this session, sustained the cause of JUS
tice, humanity and patriotism, TO opposing
the introduction of Slavery into the State
then endeavered to be formed out OF the
Missouri Territory, are entitled 10 the
warmest thanks of every freud of hu.
manity.
James Buchanan afterwards changed
his position on the Slavery question, in a
spCecA HiaUG III lic =. a. Geldtc, III
which he declared ,hai:
The harmony OF the States and even
the prosperity of the Union itself require
that the line Of the Missouri compromise
should be extended 10 any new territory
which we may acquire from Mexico
But he has now abandoned this last
ground and declares,
That the Nebraska p,licy of the pres
ent administration party mus, be adhered
TO under all circumstances aud at al! haz-
ards.'
Thus we have him in three positions
on the slavery question. First in favor
OF excluding ii from all new territory
Secondly, in favor Of excluding it from a
part, and thirdly, opposed to excluding it
from any territory. Can Northern Free
men support such weather-cock as Mr..
Buchanan He has no consistency on
the slavery question, in his past history,
and has finally sold himself soul and body
to the slave power. Let free men stand
from under.

KANSAS.

There seems to be, and We have
no doubt there really is, better state
of feeling in this hitherto unhappy
territory. 1t is we'll to examine the
facts in the current history of Kansas.
and ascertain if possible the cause of the
disasters there. and the reason for the
change at this time. 1t was evident to
all, throughout the summer, that there
could be no peace in Kansas while the
national Executive was forcing upon an
unwilling people, slavery and inhuman
laws. And when it was remembered
that the free State men, were a people
that knew that freedom is bi,thright
rot given by human hands," it was FORE
seen that the forcing process would new.
er succeed. 1t has not succeeded. A
peace could never be conquered through
the instrumentality of Lecompt, Donel-
son and Shannon. These agents were
too scottish, brutal and tyranical to en-
sure respect or beget fear, The peo-
pie despised the agents and ceased to re.
spect the principal. They have been
removed, and there is comparative
peace.
The question naturally arises, why
were such agents appointed ? And why
such responsible trusts were committed
to maudlin heads, and depraved hands /.
1t is always to be inferred that princi-
pal will appoint as instruments, to exc
cute his will, just the kind of men nee
essary to accomplish the end aimed at
If fair chance was to be extended to
the citizens of Kansas, to decide for
themselves, without let or hindrance,
the kind of government they would in
stitute, then fail, honorable and impartial
men would have been appointed to inter-
pref, and to execute the laws. So again
if the President, whether as the result
Of bargain and intrigue, or from natural
was intent on planting sla-
very in Kansas, nolens voiens, then he
would have appointed desperate and
unprincipled men to office. as he did,

of such men, that the Pres |
