Secret srmna,hr Ernissaries-

Our people cannot keep their eyes too

plans to run off our peculiar property. The
abolitionists of the Territory, now devoid
Of profitable business, find this most hui

Documents are circulated-appealing to

forward by the vilest of characters. and
supported BY dreggy motives, We might
give to them little more credit. ANY

Gains Strength by Opposition

The learned DIR. BLAIR wrote more
than half century ago the following:
at will be found to hold in general,
that they, who, in any of the great lines
Of life, have distinguished themselves for
thinking profoundly, and acting nobly,
have despised popular prejudices; and de-
parted, in several things, from the COM
mon ways of the world"
As men are differently constituted by
nature, and are differently educated, it is
reasonable to suppose that in thinking
they will arrive at different conclusions.
To differ, then, with the masses, is evil
dence of thought on the part of the per-
son entertaining such different opinions,
and is not proof of criminal or disorder
ed organization He who has mind to
avow his conviction in the face of opposi-
ton, is entitled to credit, instead of abuse.
But original minds have always been
censured, and always will be, because the
masses cannot comprehend them. 1t is
we'll it is so, for mind, like substances, is
smoothed and strengthened by contact
With other bodies, as the stone is polished
by attrition, or the tree gains strength
rom the blast which seeks to overthrow

Then and Now :

A short time ago, while the assumed leaders of
the Free State party in Kansas were wrangling
among themselves in regard to the policy to be
pursued the Herald Of FeetlOm came out with
new programme, or plan. for redeeming that
territory from the usurped power of the Pro-slave
ry party one feature Of which was for the settlers
to turn out and rOte-peaceably if they could,
forcibly if they must-at the coming Territorial
election. and thus secure a Congressman and
Legislature to their liking. For advocating
such action, the editor was denounced as a
traitor" and every species of lying scandal.
derogatory to his character and manhood, was
set afOat BY jealous rivals, hired letter writer's,
and personal enemies. But the plan was feasa-
BILE, and the harrassed people seized uponit with
avidity as one calculated to soon afford protec
ton to their lives and property, and give them
peace and quiet. They did turn out and VOTE
and the result is complete Free State triumph.
To-day many of G. W. Browns worst defamers
are forced TO admit their belief in his integrity
and all accord him the compliment of being a
man of uncommon sagaeity and perseverance,
Let the balance of the programme be carried out
and the result will be all that can be desired By
the most ardent lover of human rights.-COR-
neaWfcdIe, P0., Courier, Republican.

Capture Of Runaway Negroes

During the past week we heard, through
a gentleman living near this city, the fol-
lowing interesting account of the capture
of eleven runaways.
About a fortnight since a gentleman
stayed at our informant's house on his re-
| turn from Iowa, whittier he had been in
pursuit of the fugitives above alluded to-
The negroes made their escape from
CLAW, Jackson and Platte counties, sever
al months since, and eluded all pursuit
until the last three weeks The gentle
man of whom we speak, we blieve, lives
in Clay or Platte, and owns five of the ne
groes. He relates that he first heard of
them at or near Topeka, Kansas, some
time since, whittier he went to capture
| them.
The people of that famous burgh sue
ceeded in defeating his efforts to get his
property. He then applied to the au-
thorities for force sufficient to effect his
purpose. When this was ascertained, the
negroes were secreted and assisted to
again escape. He then hired free ne
gro ofJackson county to pursue them -
This fellow being shrewd and having
some knowledge of the character of an
abolitionist, went to Topeka and repre-
scented himself as fugitive. This he
knew to be the key to the hearts of this
philanthropic race of negro lovers. A
horse was furnished him and informa-
ton given where he might join the party
he was in quest of.
The master, after receiving this infor-
nation, again made pursuit, and overlook
his negroes, in company with six others,
about two weeks since, in Iowa, in a bend
of the Missouri river near Nebraska City.
In company with three other gentlemen,
he proceeded at once to capture them, as
they had determined on resistance. The
leader of the negroes fired three times
without effect, when he was shot down.
The other negroes were summoned to
give up their arms when they threw down
thirty odd revolvers, and surrendered
themselves
The negro who did the shooting is
the same who killed Meyers at Brownville
under similar circumstances some months
since 1t was not ascertained whether he
was fatally wounded or not. The whole
party of negroes, we understand, passed
through this city under convoy of theil
capturers about two weeks ago.
For this statement we are indebted to
Mr.. A. Compton who lives near this city
and at whose house the owner of the five
negroes stopped and detailed the above
circumstances.-SJ Joe. Gazette.

To the Point.

We find the following in the Chicago
Times of the 18th of November, which
had previously escaped our attention.
Speaking of the Lecompton Constitution:
We think It amounts to very little what
has been the action of the Convention.
One thing is certain, the Constitution has
not been submitted to the people, and
tint Constitution is not l0Orti the paper 1t dis
figures 1t las no Uitalitya oiO, get it has as
much as It t0iN eUer hare. Any State off
Ger elected under it, and these are to be
elected forthwith, will have as much
authority as the Topeka State officers
Governor Walker is Governor of the Ter
ritorv, and we trust as he put down the
Topekaites, so he will put down all other:
who may attempt to usurp the province
of governing Kansas without authority Of
law. 1t may as well be stated
that the people of Kansas have been giver
pledge that they should be free to regu
late their own affairs for themselves, and
that pledge must be made good.

swe Want Work

Such was the inscription On flag, at
the head Of procession of laboring men
in New York few weeks ago. If they
are in earnest, and want work, why do
thew not seek it where "work" is in de-
uand? In Kansas we have 10 such de-
sire expressed. Fifty or hundred men
apply for clerkships. in stores or offices,
but rarely have we heard a man ask for
eork, because it is everywhere called for,
and laboring man is set to work the
hour he arrives in Kansas at good wages
Men who come to Kansas without CAPT
al, or what is equivalent to it, a strong
and willing arm, soon finds himself on
the back track, and making for home
again. At the East, and particularly III
,he great metropolitan cities, the laborcl
has been engaged for centuries in piIine
up brick and stone for ornament and con-
venience, until hardly foot of earth re-
mains on which TO bestow labor.
Not SO in the West. Our broad and
beautiful prairies only need skill and toll
10 transform them into abodes of happi-
less Every hill side, and every acre Of
round in Kansas, extending from Mis-
souri, to the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains, distance of more than three
hundred miles, is wanting the hand Of
Just such men as those parading the streets
feastern cities, proclaiming so bolster.
oasly ave want work." Let them come
TO Kansas, and instead Of shouting awe
gant work." and ave want Bread" they
will raise the latter from the ground, and
Bthousand of Others have done, wher
worn out with fatigue and overlabor, they
will exclaim awe want rest" and they
viii be almost willing to seek it in the
gave at times, SO anxious will they be t.
obtain it.
Come to Kansas, then, and share with
the people here the labor before them
and make the mighty task now imposed
on few more easy for all.
