men arc this hour swarming into that terri |
tory, which tells the event sufficiently strong.
Why fret and rcpne, then, at the apparent
reverscs of the free State cause, since it is
every hour being reduced to a moral GER
tainty that Kansas never aoiH nor ne0er
can become established, permanently, as a
sldve State.
And what agency has brought about this
state Of thingsl The power Of moral sua-
sion9 No. Direct attacks made upon the
growing slave powerl No. What was it 2
The greedy aud overreaching strides Of the
slave power itself. It's own horrid acts of
usurpatiou and violence. Its abandonment
of all honorable principle, and wanton vio-
lation of the most solemn compaets. Its
cruelties, robberies, bloodshed and cold
hearted murders, perpetratcd so repeatedly
upon innocent men and women, for no cause
than that of advocating those rights will
which God has endowed every man. Th,
demon has hung himself, and what hav,
we to fear9 All is working well, and W,
have only to take courage, and stand, ever,
man to his post. The entire victory vii
:, then be ours.
!. The free State men have nothing to fen
# and not much to struggle for. Tie victor
e is as certainly theirs as the arrival of the pc
! riod for bringing it about. And yet woulC
by no means recommend them to lie OF
their oars and do nothing at all. Let then
q work industriously,-cvery man do his duty
n the Same as though the advantages wer
o not to turn on their side in the end. D
all you can Kansasians, to defeat tho fo
and prevent your State from becoming col
y secrated to slavery. And then, when yc
have done all in your power, should yo
a fail it will be but a momentary triumph
"a your antagonists. The day will be you
,f in the end.
All, thanks to some of our northel
doughfaces that have manufactured rope f
/, the slaveocracy with Which they have so {
fectually hung themselvesl Look this m
:. ment at the "hand writing upon the wal
surrounding Missouri's "pecuiar institution
Look at the ten-fold vigilance now require
and used, in Mississippi and Tennessee,
. keep the slaves from instructions, beyor
:: what it has been formerly. Who has blov
: that spark Of instinct for freedom to such
!, blaze in the hearts of the ignorant and G
pressed? And chivalrous Kentucky is
. tremulous, and quaking upon the very c
:. of severing the bonds of her beloved al
! peculiar institution" Who is doing
this' Echo cries, SLAVERY.

American Old Age.

The neglected portion of the great Amer
ican family is old age, we arc sorry to say !;
not that we asa nation, are disrespectful to
old age, or that they are denied or grudged
anything. We perform the negative duty
to them, by avoiding all which shall occa-
sion them offence or.deprivation; but we do
not perform the duty of assiduously seeing
that they occupy, always and only, the pla-
ces ofhonor and permanence; nor more 7 ar.
ticularly, do we study to contrivc untiringly
and affectionatcly, how to comfort, cheer
strengthen, and recupcrate them. The ole
man in one house may havo his chair ii
the drawing-room, and his place at the ia.
bic, and be listened to when he speaks, and
obeycd when he commands. But in anoth-
er house he will have his easy chair cush-
ioned and pillowed, and his arm chair at the
table, and the cook will be busted most with
what will bestly noursh or refresh his more
delicate appetite; while all listen first to hi,
words, and address conversation to him as
centre and eagerly seek for his command
as an authority. This 1--WE assure our read
err, from our well-weighed observation il
both countries) is fair picture between agc
in America and age in England. We have
been sad to admit this to the commenting
traveller. 1t is an unconscious fault in ou
country--an oversight in our life so busy
our attention too ovcrtaskcd, and our plan
of home and pleasure too unsettled anc
immature; but the feeling for the bette
things is in use, and time will bring thi
feeling into action.

deferred writing till the present.
Kansas and Kansas affairs, still continue
to be the all absorbing topic throughout the
States; indeed newspaper of the present
day which does not contain one or moro ar
ticles, relative to this truly interesting coun-
try, would be quite curiosity. l have for
some time previous to my adopting this as
my new home, been desirous of informing
myself as to the general condition of things
here, consequently resorted to newspapers
for that information. never could form
a definite opinion from them, neither was ]
satisfied with what l read. I have since
learned that had thus formed an opinion
| would have been doomed to disappoint
mont. Some writers represent this country
as perfect Eden, others condemn it, and
advises the honest emigrant in search of a
western homo, to migrate to some other
section of country and shun Kansas But
while l differ widely from tho latter, can
not say agree with the former, for Kansas,
not unlike the States has its exceptions,
though it undoubtedly possesses more nat
ural advantages than any one of the States.
Geographically, Kansas is the centre of the
Union, and though somo eastern people con-
slider us west, nearly to the 'jumping of

it will be seen in different light.
The trip from st. Louis up the Missouri

made in from four to five days with mod.

be saved by taking cars to Jefferson City,
and from there up on the tightening line Of
steamers, which run regularly to St. Joseph

nTOB LAw--TwO MEN HUNG.
juno 1st. 1857.


EDs. TRIBUNE We arc in the midst Of
the deepest excitement ever known in this
usually quiet community, growing out of
tho outrageous proceedings of jackson
county mob, who have made this place the
scene Of their illegal violence. There is in
that county an organized Vigilance Com
mittee or body of Regulators, who have
usurped the functions of the Courts and Of
fcers of the law, and are dealing out what
they call justice in a summary if not an ev
en-handed manner. A party of these men,
numbering about 20 persons, came over
from jackson county, and at short distance
from here called a halt, left squad to guard
their horses and wagons, and, fully armed,
marched into the village and drew up in
front of the Jail, sent word to Mr.. Buchanan
the Sheriff, that they demanded two prison
ers in his charge Barger and Carroll, CON
fined for murder-for instant execution
The Sheriff refused and attempted to or
|ganizo resistance to their demand; but the
people were without arms and not disposed
to risk their lives, the doors Of the Jail Offer
led but feeble resistance, and tho mob was
soon in possession. They brought out the
"iStSllSd .hiciit thiSW tucLI lutO t1olT WuHe
|ons, and within fifteen minutes from thor
first appearance, were on their return. ~,
We are not informed of the fate Of tho
prisoners; but there is rumor that both
have been hung in Andrew, jackson Co..
Our community is much inhamed, and tho
a portion of our more excitable population
seem to justify scenes, the great majority Of
the people would gladly march to the rescue
of the prisoners, if their fate was not already
fixed. 1t is due to the mob leaders TO say,
that they restrained their followers from ali
violence except what was necessary 10 ac.
complish their purposes. When few citi-
zcns made show Of resistance, they wege
firmly told that it would only cause the
shedding Of more blood and be useless in
the end. A part Of the Regulators were
disguised, but many Of them were recognized
and their names ascertained. They were
so confident in their own strength and So
confident in the rightfalness Of what they
were doing, that they carcd little for con
cealment Yours, CLINTON. !,
