The New York Day Book is Douglass
organ. 1t is an outspoken journal, giving
utterance to the sentiments of its party in
the plainest Anglo-Saxon it can summon to
its aid. Its never turns sharp corner by
the use of ambiguous verbiage. The more
satanic the sentiment, the more plainly and
openly is it nyowed. We admire the quality
hugely, and give our readers taste OF it in
the following extract upon the Douglass doc.
trine of the sovereignty OF the slavery:
The Democracy are not opposed to slavery
extension, or that which ignorance and delu-
sion term Slavery extension, and the time is
ut hand when those whe assume to speak for
it must understand what they are doing is
this matter, or they had better hold their
tongues, had better cut of their tongues ten
times over, rather than to thus help to mys-
tify and bewilder, and indeed debauch the
common sense Of the people.
Now, what is the position Of the Northern
Democracy Are they ignorant, SO stulti-
fled by this, by perversion Of terms, by the
inventions, the nicknames of impostures, by
the word "slaye" and " slavery extension .
rs to fear this issue !? to oppose the " extern
sion of Slavery No, indeed thousand
times, n million times, no; there is not one
single Democrat in the whole North opposed
to the extension Of Southern society, or go
called extension Of "slavery," and they only
wait to have truth spoken out, and things
called bv their right names, to sweep the
abolition imposture from the Republic, and
to bury its besotted tools in the profoundest
depths lowest possible deep in the popu-
lar contempt.
This is identical in meaning with the reso-
lutions of the recent Nebraska Convention
Mt Springfield, but much more clearly and
honestly expressed. Could similar degree
Of honesty or OF Satanic Recommendation
Of the two is it?--be imposed into each OF
the Douglass organs Of the country, the peo-
pie would have no difficulty in deciding upon
the political issues now before them. Mean
while let the untutored Nebraska]s be guard
cd Of speech le, t the terrible .nalodictions Of
the Day Book be visited upon their offend
ing tongues.

TOPEKA HoUsE, Topeka, I
May 18th, 1856. (


To the Editors Of the Missouri Democrat
Forty FIVE United States dragons ore en-.
camped in this city, to assist the bogus sher-
iG in the serving Of writs aud to execute
Douglass's threat to.ssubdue' the people Of
Kansas. One hundred and sixty troops are
stationed ut Lawrence for the same purpose.
MURDER.
Yesterday . man named Dunn was shot
through the head by man with whom q diff
fculty had occurred on some personal mat
ter; both pro-slavery men.
WAX.
II is currently reported in this vicinity,
from good authority, that for several days q
party of Col. Buford's men were encamped
near Osawattomie, As miles south Of Law
renee, committing many depredations upon
the property of tho squatters, who at last be-
came enraged, made an attack upon the camp,
killed FIVE Of their number and drove the re-
mainder into Missouri.
PRO- SLAVERY A1N ORDERED TO LEAVE.
The pro-slavcry men in that vicinity, who
have identified themselves with the troubles
in Kansas, have been waited upon BY COM
mittee, and ordered to pack up and move
into Missouri, with their goods and chattels,
instanter. The commands have been CON-
piled with, and many families have left. The
greatest excitement prevails in that portion
Of Kansas.
THE TROOPS ORDERED TO p,sPERsE the MOB.
Governor Shannon has ordered detach-
ment Of troops to Osawattomie to dispense
the people. On the arrival Of the dragons
there, they found y small camp Of the set
tiers, and informed them of the object oi
their vi,it, and commanded them to dis
perse, in obedience to the commands Of
Shannon. The settlers quietly dispersed
without any resistance whatever.
Ii Kansas, by order OF the administration
is to become the " dark and bloody ground .
it will soon be found that one party can
shoot as well as the other, and the war viii
become general. Much as the people de-
plore such a state Of affairs, they will carry
it out, if necessary, to vindicate their rights
snd to secure the protection Of their lives.

PERcIvAL.-Taae Sandusky Register has
the following account of the early love and
disappointment, which is said to have en-
bittereIi his life. The account il derived
from clsssmxte 1t Yale:
Percival had o class mate named Smith.
They both fell in love with lady of great
beauty and mental and moral endowments-
a ft woman 10 receive the worship Of the
young poet. But Percival was poor and
Smith was wealthy, and so the fortune Of
the race for favor turned against the poet !;
Mr.. s. won the lady. In o moment Perci-
val's whole character underwent q change !;
he became taciturn and quite q recluse,
plunging into study with most wonderful
application. From that time date his great
requirements. No science too abstrusc--no
language too removed that no did not con-
quer. In time he became noted for his men
tai acquisitions, and his habits of recluse
became confirmed. But there was wanting
the one steady aim, the high hope and manly
force that ever come to the noble soul At
peace with itself; and SO his bark drifted on
and on, never reaching any coveted harbor
whore peace whispered its soothing song to
his aching sense.
Whit became of the lady our readers OF
course ask. She settled down in Hartford,
became the model mother of six children
and yet lives there, We believe, loved and I'D.
'nired by all who knew her.
