The Kansas Agitators and the Administra-
tion.

An apprehension, or a hope, prevails in diff
fercnt quarters that the administration OF Mr..
Buchanan, like that Of poor Pierce, is destined
to be wrecked and shattered to pieces among
the rocks and quicksands Of Kansas and the
slavery question. We do not, however, enter
tain any fear or any hope of this Sort because
Of the wide distinctions between the administra-
ton and the aspirations Of poor Pierce on the
one baud. and the position and policy of Mr..
Buchanan on the other.
No administration since "the era of good
feeling OF Mr. Monroe, was inaugurated under
more favorable auspices than that Of "poor
Pierce" Upon the platform Of the great
slavery adjustment Of 1850 be was elected
almost by reclamation. His inaugural Of
"glittering gcneralities' was received by all
parties as the harbingcr Of political mil
lcnium; but he was scarcely warm in bis seat
when, through his peculiar policy of dividing
the public plumber, the democracy of New
York we're split into fragments as with blast

GOVERNOR WnKER's KANSAS PRoSuNCANmN-
To.-We have laid this document before our
readers. according to our long established poll
cy Of giving all sides upon great public ques-
ton full and impartial hearing. II is the
only way to reach satisfactorily and compre-
hensivcly the exact merits Of the case. We can
not find anything. however in this elaborate
letter Of Gov. Walker, which essentially da-
images the Kansas policy Of the President. II Is
one thing to illustrate by fine-spun theories the
nice distinctions and beautiful distractions of
popular sovereignty !" but il is another
thing to deal practically with two fight
ing factions Of disorganizers in a distant
Territory, with view to the practical estab-
lishment OF law and order We dare say that
very few Of the pro-slavery border ruffians or
no-slavery militia men Of Kansas care button
about these nice distractions of popular sove-
reignty," delegated powers" &c, as expound-
ed in the special pleading Of Gov. Walker.
Our own opinion is that the leaders and agta-
tors Of both factions in Kansas-fire-
and dirtcaters-are the scrapings Of the
North and South such jailbrds, vaga-
down into Texas with the expulsion Of
the Mexicans, and out into California
with the discovery Of the gold mines
there. Such fellows know very little, and
don't care to know much Of the legal bounds-
ries between reserved and delegated powers.
They have other fish to fry. Their game Is for
the spoils; and with them the end juslifies the
ing over such customers to the full benefits Of
popular sovereignty at the first opening, sup
posed that they would jump AZ this Lecompton
constitution; but il appears that the chiefs Of
each faction arc resolved upon their own con
struction of popular sovereignty" and are
equally resolved to have the spells and plumber
of the new State, IL they have 10 fight for them

CGndbes.-An improvement is chronicled in
the manufacture Of candles, consisting Of the
introduction of f~laceous or spongy substan4
ces, which act like a very thick wick in absorb
ing the grease below the base of the fame; but
which are SO prepared by chemical processes
that, on the approach or contact of the fame
Itself, they are gradually destroyed OF shriyel-
ed up, leaving the true candle>wick of the prop
er size. Another improvement mentioned
consists in covering the outside of candles
with a solution Of gun cotton, or similar SUBJ
stance, which forms a dry and smooth cover
ing, thus securing the advantage of effectuaI-
ly preventing the melted grease from running
off.

The "Hog Disease. According to a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger the
hogs that die Of what is termed "hog cholera"
ore, in the Western towns, converted into lard
oil, as the most profitable use to which they
can he put. The disease attacks the young
feeding on still Stops. Hogs dying of it cam
serve their flesh. If exposed for sale it must
be as fresh pork. Any animal dying from dis
ease in it's blood cannot be dressed and have
q healthy appearance, Any such meat expos~
ed for sale can be detected by its dark and unn
usual color; and it is against such meat, sup
piled from sources nearer home, that the CONS
munity should be on their guard.

A Sad Piciure.--Crime looks doubly hide.
ous at the hands of age, and the case of Carr,
now on trial in Wheeling w., for murder, is a
case in point. 1t is alleged that Carr for a
trfAing quarrel with a n~eighbor, went home
and armed himself with a gun, with which he
returned and shot his victim while seated by
the side ofhis wife. And yet the mar against
whom the indictment for this crime is pending,
is bent down by the weight of many years, be-
ing about SO years Of age. His thin white
hairs fell in stray white locks over his wrinkled
brow, but under his shaggy gray eyebrows,
the eye, quick, and uneasy, flashed either with
apprehension or curiosity as he crept painfully
into Court, leaning upon a knotted staff. He
reminds one Of what Quilp might have been,
had he lived to wear gray hairs. An old blue
coat, drawn tightly over the bunch which age
had piled between his shoulders, as high as to
the top ofhis head, nearly, showed the damp
and wear of nearly nine months of prison life.
His trembling hand grasped with convulsive
force his stick, as if to deal a blow, and his
foot lettering as he crept into his seat near his

For the last ten days I have not been able to

The GREAT RESTORATIVE.
Feper and Ague Cured by Dr.. M'Lanes
LIVER PILLS,

EMr. Jonathan Haughman, Of West Un~
ion, Park County, Illinois, writes TO the pro-
prietors, Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh, that he
had suffered greatly from a severe and protracs
ted attack of Fevefand Ague, and was CONS
pleteIy restored to health by the use of the
Liver Pills alone. These Pills unquestiona-
bly, possess great tonic properties, and can be
taken with decided advantage for many diseas>
es requiring inyigorating remedies; but the
Liver Pills stand pre-eminent as a means Of
restoring q ~disorganized Liver to healthy ac-
tion; hence the great celebrity they have attain-
ed. The numerous formidable diseases arising
from diseased Liver, witch so long baf1ed
the skill of the most eminent physicians of the
United States, are now rendered easy Of cure,
thanks to the study and perseverance of the
distinguished physician whose name this great
medicine bears--a name which will descend to
posterity as one deserving of gratitude. This
invaluable medicine should always be kept
within reach; and on the appearance Of the
earliest symptoms Of diseased Liver, it can be
safely and u~sefully administered.

Heavy Sugar Speculetion.-The New York
Post says:
at is aD i'll wind that blows nobody any
good" The high price of sugar has already
yielded a fortune to those dealers who were in
a situation to take advantage of it, and among
them may be mentioned the houses Of E. D.
Morgan & Co, and of Spofford & Tileston.-
The latter firm, we are informed, sent an order
for ten thousand tons of Manila sugar, a part
Of which has already arrived. The outlay for
this venture was about 100000, and the pros
fills are expected to exceed S250,000.
