The Morgan Herald, (MeConnelsyille, o.
speaking of the action of the Senate, says
ave cannot see that it makes very much
difference hoW the Williams are caught, SO
they are caught. When rogue steals a
horse or plumbers house, tho great object
is to catch him and recover the stolen prop
erty. Itmatters not whether he is arrested
by an officer, or private citizen with tho
proper warrant-nor whether he is lassoed
or tripped up, knocked down or surrounded.
The arrest is tho whole aim, not the man
ner of that arrest. So We conceiyeit should
be 10 the case in question. The State has
been swindled enormously in these contracts,
and that measure can arrest the frauds and
save the State further loss, is the one the
people look for. II makes no difference
whether this is accomplished by direct re-
pndiation of them by the Legislature, or by
the more tardy interposition OF the Court.
Ii any OF the contractors feel themselves
aggricved, they have means ofredress.n

any Dear Sir: / trust that you and our
friends will not be disenheartened in efforts
for Kansas. Much must still be done, or
the night of Slavery will settle down on
that beautiful Territory.
"Surely the Legislature of Massachusetts
will feel the inspiration Of a great cause and
pledged itself by a generous appropropra-
ton to its support. hear of constitutional
impediments, but believe all such will be
found TO have their foundation in the luke
warm hearts of objectors rather than in the
Constitution.
There arc some who think that ANYTHING
for Slavery is constitutional, but nothing for
Freedom. With some the opposite rule
prevails, any any other rule must bring dis
credit upon country which calls itself a
Commonwealth.
81 trust, also, that tho people of Kansas
will stand firm, and that if need be, that
they will know how to die for freedom.+
There are many that sigh for Thermopyle.
They have it now in Kansas, for there Is 10
DO fought the great battle between Freedom
and Slayery-by the 6allot-5ox, l trust; ;
but | do not forget that all who destroy
the ballot-box madly invoke the cartidge-
Dor.
with farewell to my country, as | now
seek foreign land, hoping for health long
deferred, | give my last thoughts to suffer
ing Kansas, and also my devout prayers
that the Rufiianusurpation which now treads
her down may be penceably overthrown,
and that sho may be lifted into the enjoy
ment Of freedom and peace. Ever faithful
ly yours, CHARLES SUMNER.

aIt sou,.ds so Ennnr.n

A few evenings since, little bright-eyed,
fair-haircd girl, who, during the afternoon,
had exhibited girls petulence because her
wishes in regard to piece of candy were
not acceeded to by her mother, knelt at her
mothers knee to say her evening prayer be-
fore going 20 rest. With becoming SINGER
ity and simplicity she repeated the beau
tiful verse
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
and after that, that other sweet hymn
"Gentle Jesus meek and mild,
and then looking up into her mothers face
said-"Mother, have another little prayer
! want to say" "Well, my dear, kneel
down and say it" said the mother. So the
little one kneeled down and commenced
"Oh Ood, make Ella good girl, and make
Ella love her parents; Oh God, am sorry
! leased for the nut candy"-and then she
hesitated for second and burst out into
hearty laugh. "What makes you laugh ~
asked her mother" "Why, mother that
sounds so funny" was the reply. The lit
tie ones gravity for the time being was dis
turbed, and after implanting fond kiss on
her mothers cheek, she ran away to her
little bed.-Boston Journal.

Laws of Newspapers.

/. Subscribers who do not give express no
tice to The contrary, are considered as wishing
to continue their subs :rlption.
2: If subscribers order the discontinuance
OF their papers, the publisher may continue to
send them until all arrearages are paid.
3: If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible till they
have settled the bill, and ordered them discon-
ued.
a: If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the pa
Pers are sent to the folmer direction, they are
held responsible.
B. The courts have decided that refusing
to take papers from the office, or removing and
leaving them uncalled for, is PRIMA FAc1A evi-
dence of Intentional fraud
" Postmasters neglecting to inform pub
llshers, when papers are not taken from the

they are not, if known

So in the other cases. So will ii be again
". We mean to urge and effect re.
adjustment of the basis on which Justices
of the Supreme Court are apportioned
Now Six Hundred Thousand Free Peo'
pie in Slave District have equal weight
in the constitution Of that Court with -Four
Millions in a Free District; and Six Mill
ions Of Free people in Slave States have
more weight than Sixteen Millions In Free
States. This is grossly unjust, and can
not be upheld. Make the Judicial Dis
tricts equal, let Judges be fairly selected
therefrom, and the Dred Scott decision
will soon be overruled and effaced.
V. We mean to create and arouse an
enlightened Public Sentiment which shall
ultim ately place the Federal Government
in all its departments. in the hands of men
who love the Constitution and the Uuion
much, but Lbery, Eteanal justice and
the inalienable Rights Of Man, still more
men will regard Freedom as the Uni
versal and everlasting rule and Slavery
as the local and transitory exception
men who will give Shylock his pound of
flesh" but no "drop of Christian blood !"
men who will be as tenacious Of the
rights of men legally free, like Dred Scott,
as of those permitted by vicious local reg
ulations, over which the Nation has no
control, to claim property in the limbs
and bodies of their fellow men.
VI. In short, we mean to prove, by the
issue of th is contest, that Justice is the
law of Gods universe, to which all hu
man laws should and must conform, and
that patient waiting and earnest working
will eventually secure its triumph.
IF there be reason in this, let the Fed
eral District Attorney hurry up his doc
uments.

From the New York Tribune.
WHAT SHALL WE Do!

Well, what do you propose to do
about it ;" is tauntingly asked by our
Northern chucklers over the late most
unjust and deplorable decision in the
Dred Scott case. Suppose it as all
" wrong, in violation of law and of pre-
g cedent, how do you expect to help
yourselves? What will all your pro-
" tests and agitation amount to 90 Let
us answer these gentlemen briefly, but
clearly.
L. We do not purpose to resist the
Federal authorities nor to break up the
Federal Union. We do not esteem either
rebe lion OF dsunion the proper remedy
for political or judicial wrongs while the
Freedom OF the Press and the Right OF
Suffrage are maintained. Especially
should we deem disunion most untimely,
now hat the highesttribunal has-thoueh
extra judicially and without authority
pronounced Slavery National, not a
sectional, institution, making it concern
of The nominally Free equally with the
Slave States. When this doctrine comes
to be positively established hereafter, it
will be settled that Slavery must pervade
and control the whole Union or be ex-
PEELED from every part of it. We have
not desired such an issue but, when it
is made up and forced upon us by the
Slave Power, we shall not shrink from It.
Disunion involves the abandonment ol
our enslaved countrymen to perpetual
| bondage we choose not to desert them,
II. We do mean to make plain e
all our countrymen who can read, the ini
guilty and enormity of the Drcd Scott de
clsion in all its parts, but especially in ii.
fundamental denial to the feeble anf
down-trodden of any right Of appeal te
the Federal tribunal. BY every princi
pie OF righteous Jurisprudence, the more
humble or degraded an individual O,
class may be. the more imperative is the
duty of the tribunals to hear the plead
ings and assert the right of such suppl.
ant or class. We mean to make the
American People perceive and feel thai
injustice to part is peril TO all, and that
the refusal to consider Dred SCOTS prav.
er for liberty, on the express ground ol
his being black man, therefore possess
ing no rights which white men are bound
to respect. is fatal blow at the rights
and liberties of ALL
Ill. We mean to show that deci.
sion of the Supreme Court, though formi.
dable, is not irreversible That Court
affirmed the constitutional validity of the
Alien and Sedi.ion acts, yet the People
annulled those acts and paid back the
penalties imposed and exacted unde,
them by the Federal judiciary. That
Court pronounced Bank OF the Unite
States perfectly constitutional, yet the
people ultimately made contrary decis,
ion, which prevailed over the Courts.

its execution. Sherrard, the Goyerno,
states, with three others, waylaid him il
the hall of the Legislature. He discov
cred them, and knew their purpose, and
when Sherrard spoke to him. he made nc
reply, but passed on, when Sherrard spat
upon his back severfl times. As soon as
these facts became known, public meet
ling was held. composed principally of Pro-
Slavery men, for the purpose of denounc.
ing the act. 1t was at this meeting that
Sherrard was shot. When the resolutions
were read, Sherrard said that any person
who endorsed them ''was liar, cow
ard, and scoundrel." Mr.. Sheppard then
arose, and stated that he endorsed them,
and was neither liar scoundrel nor COW
ard. Sherrard then drew his revolver
and commenced shooting at Sheppard,
who received three balls in his body. Mr..
5. then snapped a pistol at Sherrard, but
it failing fire, he rushed upon him and
struck him with his weapon. They were
separated, and Sherrard then drew anoth
er pistol and advanced upon Jones. whom
he had previously insulted because he
was member of the Governors house
hold. Jones. perceiving his danger, drew
pistol in self defense; number Of shots
were fired at the same time, and Sherrard
fell. The Governor says that the account
Of the affair published in the Republican,
as furnished by some Mr.. Jones. is a tis-
sue of falsehoods from beginning to end
Among other things, the Governor com
plains most bitterly of the annoyances
which he suffered in the obstruction and
mutlation of his correspondence. The
Mail bags, he says, were constantlyopen
ed and all communications to and from
him Systematically overhauled. and, if
Objectionable, abstracted. Mr.. McClain,
Chief Clerk in the Surveyor Generals
officv, boasted of the fact, and stated that
be himself had destroyed and suppressed
two bushels of mail matter.
The above is nearly an abstract Of the
Governors statement. There are null |
titude of interesting details which we are
compelled to omit. His private Secreta
ry, Mr.. Gihon, has promised US full and
complete recital of the entire history of
the administration, which we shall in due
season present TO our readers.
In view OF these things, and under the
operation of the act ofthe RuAian Legis
lature, which provides for the election of
delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, administered as it will be blythe dom
inant faction who hold all the office, he
thinks it inevitable that slavery Consti-
tuition will be established in Kansas.
The Governor is, probably, correct;
but nevertheless. it is one thing to frame
a Pro Slavery instrument, and another
to establish the institution de facto, in the
Territory. The friends of free labor in
the -torlh must redouble their efforts.
