neat dress. your expensive shawl. or
golden ringed fingers that attracts the
attention Of men Of sense. They look
beyond these. II is your character

loose in onversa;ion-no matter il
you are as beautiful as an angeI-you
have no atb action for them. Itis the
true loveliness of your nature that
wins and continues to retain the afec-
tons Of the heart. Young ladies sadly
miss it who do not labor to improve
their minds. Fools may be won by

The coming Presidential struggle will he one
in which the future destiny of Slavery and of

banners. Slavery, polygamy, or any other eS=
crescence which the resident inhabit.ats OF a
Territory whoever they may lie, tie refugees of

power to reject which follows the power 10 a6.ntt
new States. Infiexibe opposition IL the further
extension Of Slavery i3tG territory now free is
the doctrine O. the anti-Adminstration party.
DECEPTION can no longer now be practiced upon
the public mind, although, doubtless, to some
extent, in the coming campaign, it will be at
tempted. Already unglistakable indications of
this are givea by the friends of Mr.. Buchanan, IL

To the Editor Of the National Era:

that FL. Miles Moore had been arrested and
taken to Leavenworth for trial.
The Governor told me yesterday that he had
sent dowas detachment of troops to demand
his liberation, and arrest 81 these concerned
in his seizure. This is the FIRST time the Terri-
torial Government has gone to any trouble on
our behalf, aud | hope that Governor Geary
may meet with such success as not to be dis
copraged by the result of his first attempt.
But Ruffianism still holds her sway, even
here, under the very eye of the Governor. On
Saturday, man by the name OF Tillotson, who
lives up on Grasshopper Greek, came down to
