The Extensicn of s1averv.

The fusionists charge upon the Dc
mocracy that they are in favor CT the
extension of slavery. What is the
ground upon which they make this ac-
cusation ? This, simply: that they ad-
vocate the right of the people of the
States and Territories to settle the ques-
ton for themselves. An exchange rests
the str ength of this Black Republican
argument by throwing it into a s~yllogis-
tic form, as follows:
Cali who are opposed to prohibiting
the extension of slavery into the Terri
tories by law are in favor of its extern
sion.
"The Democratic party are opposed
to prohibiting the extension Of slavery
into the Territories by law.
"Therefore, tie Democratic party
are IN facoJ Of tile alensiom Of slavcry.
"All who are in favor of prohibiting
in6delity by law are in favor of its ex.
tension.
Nine-tenths of the people of the u.
S. are opposed to any such law.
Therefore, nine-tenths of the people
in the United States, are in favor of the
extension OF lnldellty.
Equally conclusive.
All who are not in favor of compel
ling everybody to attend church on the
Sabbath are opposed to religion.
All are opposed to such a law.
"Therefore, all are opposed to rchs'
ion.
Equally conclusive"
The same journal we'll remarks, that
the position of the Democracy of Me
North is, that, "while they decide fNl
themselves that they do not wish s@laverN
in their midst, they do not wish to sit
in judgement upon its existence else
where, nor presume to dictate theil
views and policy to others equally capa:
bic of judging for themselves in choosing
their institutions Detroit Free Press

slaced it to her own breast, and there
under the burning rays of the sun, this
women, robbing perhaps her own infant
of its pourishment, was sustaining this
orphan, while all around was noise and
confusion, and groans, and suffering, and
death.
Among the strange incicents of this
disaster was the following: A boy, 13
years of age, was in the foremost car Of
the wrecked train. When the crash took
place, he was thrown out through a break
in the car, and escaped uniDjured. lie
was SO much scared that he ran all the
way to the city, and was the first to car
ry the intelligence of the calamity to G.
B. Z. O'Noill, Esq, whose family was
upon the train. They all escaped in
jury.
Another boy about the same age had
q father and mother upon the train.
Upon hearing the news he started from
the city to walk to the scene. He was
picked up by the five o'clock train, when
about ten miles from the city. He
was nearly exhausted when discovered.
TIE BURNED BODIES.
An eye witness describes one car
which took fire and which was in flames
in an instant. AS soon as possible the
car was broken open but no iUing Soul
zoaS left ia it. The inmates acere al
dead and enUeA0ped IN tile fierce flames.
Elk Lieut.. Davis, in searching among
the ashed under some portion of the ma
chinery, found q few calcined human
bones in two places. They were, with
out doubt, all that was left of the hu-
man beings! Tile remains Of both could
readily be held IN tie palm Of the
hand.
At the Cohocksink Station there were
six bodies unfecogni&ed. Four of them
were charred so badly that they never
can be known the others were those of
a boy and a Bomen. The limbs of the
female we're burned entirely off, and the
remains were in a shocking condition.
The boy appeared to have been crushed
to death and then badly burned.
All were burned in the most horrible
manner, and of the whole number there
were many so mutilated that there is
not the slightest hope of their being
identified. Very few had any vestige
of their clothing left on their bodies,
and the heads and limbs of many were
entirely off.

Most of the sufferers belonging to the
humber classes and their means IL
many instances are lily competent to
meet the ekigencies of the occasion.
Exertions are being made to provide
for the present wants Of the afflicted

THE SCENES Al TIE CHURCH.

SCE-sES NJ LIZ C1iOtlE-
st. Michael's church was the scene
ahis morning of a most intense excite
ment, it having been announced that the
Aobsequies of the dead were to be per-
formed this morning, and that a high
mass was to be celebrated. The body
of the Rev. Mr.. Sheridan lay in state
in front of the altar at the end of The
main isle, and the church was shrouded
in mourning. The body of the deceased
priest lay in a coffin covered with black
cloth and studded with silver. The bo-
dy was clad in white flannel, and there
was a small ebony cross placed upon
the breast. The face presented much
its natural appearance, but it bore IN
mistakable marks of the dread blow
that deprived it of life.
The throng commenced pouring into
the building by little after FIVE o'clock
this morning. The people we're admit
ted at the front door, and after passing
up the main aisle and around the body,
they left by another way.
The people crowded in immense mum
bers to take a inal look at the face of
their beloved Pastor-rich and poor
well dressed and those who were clad
poorly-the hard-featured laborer and
the soft, delicate faces Of young girls
were there, all bowed down by the So
lemnity of the occasion. 3ftere was
scarcely a fearless eye.
Out ia the lvestibale a smell party OF
the mourning people were m~oaniDg-not
loud, but in suppressed sobs. Que poor
lady, overcome with grief, could be
heard to sob On, I could not see my
two boys, and now I'm sorry I've seen
himtn
The collins containing the bodies oil
Ryan, Campbell and others were sub
s~equently brought in and laid across the
tops of the pews near the alsar.
During the time the bodies were be-
ing brought into the church frequent
masses for the dead were said. The
high mass was celebrated with imposing
ceremony. The Grafton of DIR. Moria1
ty was listened to with intense interest
the congregation was frequently moved
to sobs and tears. The crowd outside
the building was immense, and thou
sands who were anxious to obtain ad.
mission to the church we're denied the
privilege.
The SCENE DURING THE DELIvEREoF THE
DISCOURSE.
During the retention of the discourse,
which was smoothly and gracefully de.
livered, the audience present appear
. ed to listen as to the words of inspira.
tion. Never had an orator more be-
lieving listeners.
At an a~llnaion to the character of the
deceased pastor, as a priest, az a com.
-
the neighborhood, low thrills of sobbing
passed through the still air of the church
like walls; when the orator pictured
the priest at the bedside Of the sick and

appeared to be struggling with an emo.

The Mock Governor of Kansas

The Mock Governor of Kansas.
We have at length obtained from
California information bearing on the
history of the career Of DR.. Chas. Rob
inson, who now sets up to be Governor
of the State of Kansas, which we have
for some time past been looking for. 1t
shows conclusiyely that he is just the
man for his present task of leading un-
thinking and excited persons to violate
| the laws and so to conduct themselves
generally, as to run up an account for
which they will suffer In the end with
out stint. He is one of those dlscon-
tented and unhappy spirits, satisfied on
ly amid scenes of agitation and excite
mont. He reached California in 40,
when there was ample material there for
the qualification of his ruling passion.
Sacramento, where he went to live, was
located on lands belonging to Capt. Sut-
ter, held through a valid Mexican grant
to him. It was in all respects correct,
and all who desired lots in the city
! could purchase them at fair rates. A
class of persons, however, under the
lead of Robinson, pretended to deny the
validity of Suffers title and proceeded
to seize on the unoccupied lots; many
of them selling them en- speculation, as
they could find dupes to purchase of
them for any ready money they might
| obtain, and giving quit claim deeds.
The dppes were of course thus left to
contend before the courts with the real
owners of the land, and were victimized
to the whole amount of the purchase
money paid. Thus many honest and
confding persons were swindled ont of
their every dollar, and their complaints
to those who had defrauded them were
met only with ~imprecations onthe courts
and the spectators. Their advice was,
I" Hold on the land, fight for it, and in
the end we will whip Suffers grantees
and possess the best lots in the city our
selves"
Thus we're the people melted to re-
sist the laws. The miners were invited
to leave their labors in the mountains
and flock to the city to join Robinson
and his band in jumping" the lands
ef others, which had been honestly pur-
chased aud paid for. Hundreds.not ac-
quainted with this question Of land title,
led away by excitement and dulusion,
co-operated with them. The result is,
that after years of contest and excite
Faent, and after spending in time and
| money enough 60 have purchased twice
