will Kansas be "a slave STATED


What Ia. Pro Slavay men think about IT,
The st. Joseph (Mo,) correspondent Of the
Missouri Republican, writing from st. Joseph,
under date Of March 18th, says:
"rhe emigration to Kansas reminds me of
that to California in the days Of its greatest al
lurcments. Trains upon trains are pouring in
from, every quarter, but particularly from the
Free States. had once thought, as l used to
write TO you, that Kansas would be Slave
State, but am now forced to alter my opinion
from the overwhelming evidences to the contra
ry that force themselves upon me every day.
tOar ferry boats are btisiiy engaged from day
light until dark in carrying over trains, ard the
proportion OF Free Soil to the Pro. Slavery EN-
igrants is as fifteen to one. This is not conf
ned alone 70 our point OF crossing, but II is 50
at every other that can hear from, and 1t sat
isles me that the political destiny Of Kansas Is
fixed beyond all question. ag gs seiessg s..q
WARS and rumors Of wars she will know no
more, but peace win brood over her beautiful
prsiries and prosperity will reign throughout
her borders. I am pro-slayery man, and wo'd
prefer 10 see my favorte institution established
there; but am, nevertheless, convinced that
the energetic, enterprising Yankee will develop
the resources and build up the country sooner
than we could do, and thatby living in harmony
with them az onr neighbors, they will do US no
injury in our peculiar preperty.ps I. aI

Wonderful. But True.

A few days since, Mr., Jas. II. Beadle, of Hunts
vile, Alabama, called on ms and gave as perinis-
sion TO publish Tor The benefit Of suffering buman-
ity, the astonishing cnre which had been effected
IN the case OF his wife by the use OF Dr. Hnnes's
Vegetable Epileptic Pills lie informed u.s. that at
the time his wife commenced using the medicine,
her system was entirely Frustrated, by the NUM-
Der OF spi size had undergone, TO reduce her
weight TO loo lbs. Since she has been taking the
Pills, she has entirely got over the spnsms, and has
gained in weight and bodily health She now
weighs AT least 300 lbs, and declares she is now in
better enjoyment If health than ever before ia her
life. Mr. Beade also related the case Of Mr.. Iiar-
rison Llghtio0t, OF the same town, who has been
entirely cured of the worst form Of Epilepsy by
these sams pills, MIR Lightfoot's case was so bad
that he never passed week without having an at.
tack, often falling down in the street. He has not
had an attack for nfere than year Mr. Beadle.
THINKS that il the Pills fail in curing a case.
it is for the want OF proper perseverance the
part OF the person In taking them, as he feels
red from observation in the OF his wife, that if
they are taken for sufficient length of time they
will cure any case Sent to any part of the eoan-

Wumbugs and other Bugs.

The following paragraphs clipped from the
correspondence of the Dayton Empire, is rath-
er too strikingan illustration of Black Republi-
can legislation to be lost. 1t would be curious
to see how many bills were passed during the
first part Of this Legislature, which have been
altered, amended OF repealed, or an effort made
- do one or the other:
"Ihc bill to provide for the erection of new
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, was under considera
ton in the House day or two ago, where it met
with considerable opposition, and especially
from the members of the Republican party
and quite all animated discussion arose on this
subject Mr.. Franklin, the Chairman of the
committee on Benevolent Institutions, and who
had taken great interest in the passage of the
BILL arose and pitched into his Republican breth-
ren; he said he had come here as Republican,
he had expected something great from that par
ty in the Legislature; they had been here two
sessions, and what had they done? Not an act
had been passed that would survive five years.
They had promised reform, but not one act they
had done tended that way. He said they re-
minded him of a set of tumble bugs, that rolled
every thing backwards; and suting the action
to the word" gave practical demonstration OF
the motion Of those industrious insects in their
tumbling operations. He said he was farmer
"a plain, blunt man"-and that now he would
rather be on his farm, associated with his dumb
animals, than be associated with such represen-
tativcs. The old gentleman having closed his
speech, sat down in wrath.
MANY persons who heard his comparison had
never doubted that the Republican party was
humbug, but the most inventive genius had
never thought of comparing them to any other
kind of bugs, and the discovery belongs to a
leading member Of their own party"

The Pittsburgh journal (Republican) of yes
terday in speaking of Kansas says
"The appointment of Mr.. Walker will fall
with magical influence upon Kansas. Tranquil
ity and security are assured to the people, and
these Just now are about all we ask, and all the
country demands for the people Of Kansas
When peace and order are enforced the politi-
cal franchises of the people will take care of
themselves, and the ballot-box will need no
breast work of bayonets and reserve of ball
cartridge to enable the people Of Kansas to
choose Constitution. We shall confess our
selves egregously deceived in Mr.. Walker,
whom we have known long and esteemed high
w. if he do not administer the affairs of Kansas
in such wise that no reasonable or fair class OF
citizens in the Territory will have cause Of
complaint
Now, we think, the language ofthe paragraph
quoted comedies everything we have ever con-
tended for in regard to Kansas affairs. We
have repeatedly said that all that is needed is to
secure peace and tranquility to the people OF
Kansas, and fair expression of their will, and
all would be done that the people need, or that
the country demands. The journal now says
so, too, and it then says, Tranquility and sccl-
rity are assured to the people" by the appoint
ment of Mr. Walker as Governor. We think
SO to. All that remains is to give people once
for all fair chance to vote on the question Of
slavery. Then if the free State men vote. like
men the result will be binding on all parties.--
Such chance we have no doubt they will have
before Kansas Is admitted as State.--PiHs-

The SyIvania Murder---COnvictiOu
Of Ward .es gf ett tft

Return J. Ward, charged with numbering his
wife at Sylyania, and then burning her remains
to oblrerate the traces of his guilt, has been con-
victed. The jury was out less than half an
hour. The evidence going to show the identity
Of the remains as those belonging to the body
of Mrs. Ward, was exceedingly slight; and yet
50 strong were the circumstances pointing to the
guilt of the prisoner, and so overwhelming the
train OF evidence against him, that the jury had
nodificulty in coming to positive conclusion
in regard to the matter. The murder is one Of
the most brutal and disgusting in ell the annals
of crime A husband not only murders his
wife, after blooded premeditation, but he
sits up nights, withhis door locked, cuts her in
tosmall pieces, and burns up her remains in the
stove. This process occupied several days in
which time he drew largely on the shops around
for shayings, and the unsavory scent went forth
from the chimney, and filled the nostrils Of
those who happened to be in that vicinity. He
has not yet been sentenced. '.1'o

KANsAs.-With pleasure, says the Journal of
Commerce. wecopy the following from the Wash
inston Union of yesterday. 1t explains salts
factorily to our minds the omission of the Kan
sas Legislature to provide for submitting the
Constitution to the people. 1t was because, in
their opinion, that duty dcvolved upon the Con-
vention, and not upon the Legislature. The
writer says "there can be no doubt of refer
ence of the Constitution to the people" In
that case, if approved by them, we expect that it
will be accepted by Congress- and sKansas ad-
u1itted as State. The decision of the Topeka
Convention to take no part in the election is
therefore equivalent, if persisted in, to make
making Kansas, at the outset slavc-holding
State. How long it will continue SO, isanother
question: They may be able to justify this
fragrant dereliction of duty, in q manner salts
factory to themselves and the Abolitonsts but
not we think, to the great body of Free State
men.
From the Washington Union.
The Kansas Convention Act. .
WAsHINGroN, March 25.
To Ae EAtor Of The Union:
SIR:--In your issue o the 21st instant, in
which the act of the Legislative assembly Of
Kansas Territory providing for the formation Of
q State Constitution was published, you copied
also an article from the New York Journal oil
Commerce which called in question the propri-
ETY. Of the course Of that body in not prouiding
for reference Of the Constitution to the people,
and stated that q failure so to do was, in the
Judgment Of that paper manifest defect"
Being somewhat acquainted with the impress
sions under which the assembly acted, I trust
] may be pardoned in saying word in explana-
ton OF their view of the matter.
The committee in which the bill originated
were of the opinion that the assembly had no
power TO dictate to the convention (Which when
assembled would represent the sovereignty Of
the people,) what course should be pursued on
that or any other Subject.
| II the assembly had power to command o re-
ference OF the constitution to the people, that
body certainly had the right to make other re
lquicmcnts, and thus might have dictated pro-
visibns on any othvr subject.
There can be no doubt OF a reference of the
constitution TO the people, and that the objection
urged by the Journal Of Commerce will be re-
moved A. J. 1SACKS.
