Mason on Kansas.

Our readers will recollect that the
Kansas bill WAS forced through Congress
with the distinct assurance that the SOIL
the climate. the geography, Of Kansas,
all pointed it out as free State, that
all the South wanted was the recogni.
ton of the principle that tho people
should decide for themselves on the
question. The expression Of such an
opinion having lately been charged upon
Senator Mason of Va. he takes occa-
sion to deny the alleg alton, and afirms
as his decided conviction at the time,
that there was every reason to believe
why il should be slave state and none
why il should not" He adds:
What may yet be the result as to
the condition Of Kansas, notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary and inscriptions
efforts of Northern Abolitionists to force
a population thore,sI cannot undertake
to say. Nor will I allude in this place
to the new and unexpected aspect now
exhibited Of affairs in that territory.
Whatever may be the information of
others, certainly am not sufficiently in
formed of the existing state Of things in
Kansas % form clear opinion one way
or the other yet I aciU venture to sag
this much, that If african slavery be
ultimately excluded from Kansas. at
aoiH be effected by the ma n,ericai force
or organtsed nsa1orities. operating a.
gatnst the usual Laaos ohich govern EN-.
igration and will present a new and
most instructive lesson to the Southern
| States"
1t is to be hoped the people Of the
Southern States will carefully study the
causes which are to make Kansas free
State. If they pursue the subject care
fully they will find that the only "un-
scrupulous efforts" were by" organized"
Border RufAians and that numerical
force" does not "operate against the
usual laws which govern emigration"
When they have fully mastered the Kan
sas lesson, they will be at liberty to take
another, the eman cipation IN ovemens in
Missouri. Having mastered this, thore
will doubtless be more Of the same sort,
which if they pursue assiduously to the
end Of the volume, they will find them
selves wiser if not better men.

like the accounts for the week previous.
The damsged ny then spoken of is So
cured and about as much more put thro'
the Same process of curing. The dam.
age Of hay in these two weeks, even it
the remainder of the season should be

SoIREE MUsIcALB.-A Musical Soayee
is to be given on Monday evening OF
Commencement week, in aid Of the fund
already commenced by the ladies inter-
ested for an Organ at the Congregational
Church. The money hitherto raised is
deposited on interest, as we understand,
and whatever is received on this occasion
will 20 to advance that very appropriate
object. The music is selected and the
parts assigned under the direction Of Mr..
Borr, Professor in Music at the Female
Seminary, whose competency both in the
literature and practice Of his art is high
ly spoken of, and will be performed by
ladies and amateurs of high cultivation
among us, in the love we believe Of their
accomplishment more than for its display.
The programme presents selection, as
we understand, of the classical style Of
music chiefly, Of the best composers for
the Opera, arranged for the Piano, md
will be diversified by Songs, Duets, &c,
selected as well for the chasts and refined
character of the music, as for adaptation
to the performers and the interest of the
occasion. The entertainment is to be
given at the Addison House. We refer
with pleasure to the advertisement in an
other column, and commend the announce
ment to the lovers of musical cultivation
among us.
LOST BUT FOUND AaAIN.-A gen.
tleman by the name ofEager from Wor'
cester, Mass, now stopping at Moore's
Hotel, while riding with his wife one
day last week, lost one hundred and
seventy-6ve dollars out of his vest peck.
et. After reaching home at night he
missed the money. In the morning he
thought he would drive around where
he had been the evening before, little
expecting to find it; while looking down
upon the ground he discovered the roll
of bills just on the edge of the travelled
walk where ii had lain, exposed to wind
and weather during the night, un-
harmed.

Nothing to Wear.

Since the auth orship Of this exquisite
little poem, an extract from which we
took a few weeks since, has been ascrib-
ed. with his consent, TO Mr.. Butler, q
young lawyer of New York city. il has
been claim ed, or at least part of it, as
a waif from the satchel of a young school
GIRL the daughter of the Rev. Mr.. Peck.
This claim, which is direct charge Of
plagiarism upon the reputed author, has
bean the subject of considerable news
paper comment and speculation, while,
as yet, the only positive proofs Of the pa
ternity Of the little favorite are the oou.
Acting claims aforesaid.
The growing extravaganza OF the A
merican people in the matter Of dress
has been subject of much serious CON-
ment by the press, and probably of much
more serious reflection by those whose
means are not commemorate with the
fashions. But serious dissertation seems
to be no better, perhaps worse than
nothing. In this state Of the case it was
easy to hope that the author Of the po-
EN- in question had hit upon more ex-
collent way "to hold the mirror up to
fashion;"-to hope that whoever it may
be, be would prove reformer, of that
school of which Mr. Dickens is the most
prominent member. The doubt which
is thrown upon the authorship of the ep-
igram can hardly be other than source
Of universal regret, il we except the pub.
fishers, who will pr obably find the effect
of such advertisement an extra demand
for several editions.
