Sasha thinks is named Orbray, shot him down.

wife OF the deceased, now lifeless before her, that
she could have twenty-four hours to make her exit,
or she would receive the fate of her husband. She
took them Mt their word, and reached this point on
last Tuesday. She is a lady, genteel and amiable
in her manners, ard has been unquestionably well
raised. Her father is a farmer of limited means,
living in Montgomery county, New York, to which
she is en- route.

the requisite amount to enable her to reach her

for. She left on the cars Wednesday evening, via

Resolved That we urge the Governor and Leg

TAIL to afford such projection.
Resolved That we ,ciH feed the hungry clothe

Similar resolutions were passed at n meeting con
vened in School district No. 4 of Fairfield town
ship at which Henry Kridler presided.
We think the signs of the times demand. that
the enemies Of slavery should take a firm stand
against not merely the extension, but against oll
compromise with it where it already exists. Latitu-
dinal lines, can never change the character of q
moral evil and n party which seeks to prevent the
extension Of a crime, which it is ever ready to
compromise and support where il already ex
lists, can never command respect for much SINGER
ity of purpose.
While we disclaiw any right to abolish slavery
in the states by direct Legislation, we do claim i
is none the less q crime though sanctioned b,
State laws.
We are inhexibly opposed to slavery as well ir
Missouri as in Kansas. Now that slavery is con
tending for the mastery in the government and
that the party which is inaugurated into power fol
the next four years, is disposed to surrender every
thing to slavery it behooves the friends of freedom
to plant then. selves firmly on the principles of thu
Declaration of Independence, rs the immovablt
rock, and yield nothing to tho accursed institution
We are satisfied that there is no middle grount
upon which q party can stand and maintain itsel
North but once take an uncompromising stant
against slavery and it has received a death blow
But, let them continue to give little by little a
must he the case in every compromise, and thu
policy continued will eventually give away ever.
thing to slavery. And, moreover the pretext 70
giving up a little to slavery will apply with cqua
force in favor OF giving all.
Let this course be adopted, and the uniol
with slavery is at once dissolved. Every articl
whether Of constitution, or statute law will be
come q dead letter, while not an article that i
valuable in the constitution will be lost.

OUTRAGES.
S. w. KILBOURN.

Last week q lady bearing the name of Brown.
called upon two of our most respectable citizens
with a letter of introduction, purporting to be
witten by o gentleman of Jackson Mississippi
The lady states, that on the 18th, ult her husband
was killed by a mob in consequence of expressing
himself in favor the election of Fremont. That
he had previously been threatened-and ordered
to leave the country. The next morning, immedi-
ately after the burial of her husband, Mrs. Brown
was compelled by the mob to leave in great haste
although she assured her prosecutors she was des'
titute of money. Her husband who was q jour
newman mechanic was dependant upon his labor
and was at the time of his death out of funds, as ne
had been sick for several weeks previous. A
friend however privately furnished her with q
small sum of money which enabled her to get as
far as this place and also with the letter of reco,
mendation referred to above. Some Ct our citizens
we're suspicious all was not right and examined
the lady closely. But her statement seemed rea-
sonable and there was no decidedly invalidating
testimony, and the gentlemen to whom the letter
was addressed collected a sufficient, amount OF
money to purchase a ticket to Philadelphia, and
to pay her other expenses to Newark New Jersey,
where she said her father resided. Her husband
as she alleged was from the state of New York.
The following statement which came to Salem
in the papers on the same day on which Mrs
Brown arrived, created distrust in the minds o.
some with regard to the truth of her story, never
theless some Of these doubling ones, contributed

THE BLESSINGS OF IGNORANCE.

A late number of the Richmond Examiner thus
expatiates upon the evils and inconvenience of
knowing how to read and write. 1t should DO
that the writer is extollipg the bless-
ing of ignorance not for the black slaves, but for
a class of the white men of Virginia.
The Inquirer says, not one in twenty Of the
adult whites OF Virginia can read or write. The
charge is utterly false. A small portion of Vir-
ginians, and other Southerners eau neither read or.
write. But all are sensible and we'll informed
all conversant with affairs. Far. very far more in
tellectual. moral and well informed, than European
laborers ever were or ever possibly can be. HON.
er did not know a letter in the book. and Plato
held that the invention of letters had diminished
human intellectually. Reading and writing are
the means, probably The worSt means of acquiring
knowledge and wisdom. The time employed in
their acquisition is Of itself lost, for it prevents
enlargement of mind from observation and expert
ence. As means of acquiring knowledge, The
European laborer does not find time to employ
them. lie is very generally the worse for know
ing them; first, because the time no is shut up in
school is so much precious time lost. in the most
impossible period Of life from observation aad

only for low stimulation and excitement. and is

PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. &c, ISL.
There is very serious apprehension among the
selfconstituted elect that Mr.. Buchanan may fall
into the clutches of Simon Cameron. Hence great
efforts are making by the large and little organs Of
Democracy to difuse the impression that the Presi-
dent elect entertains for the Senator elect the same
sort of psrtialty which the devil is said to do toward
holy water. They have eXcommunicsted Simon by
ben, book and candle, and will hear OF no repent
ance that by possibility can admit hun even to the
lambs share of the spells. This policy may sun

The wrongs OF the people of Kansas have been

QUESTION warrant has been issued against
Sweeney, who implicated, in his testimony, DR..
Welch, NJ. C., of Connecticut, aud Mr.. Gilbert,
NJ. c of New-York; the former Of having refused
to report bill providing for pension to widow,
from the Committee on Pensions unless he received
The sum Of $50; and the latter of having engaged
to vote for Superintendent of Printing for the sum
Of 81 600 These gentlemen, it seems, boarded
with Sweeney, who was poor, to help him along,
and used their influence to get him the appointment
of subordinate Assistant Door Keeper from which
place he was discharged by Mr.. Darling, the head
Of that Department. He applied TO Gilbert aud
Welch TO restore him, and believe they interceded
in that direction but falling accomplish the point

cessiOn and threatened TO have revenge. Immedi-
atey after giving his testimony he left the city and
o copy of his testimony was subsequently, served
upon Messrs. Gilbert and Welch, who, | learn,
have presented testimony in abundance to Oyerset
that of Sweeney. lie will be prosecuted eriml-
nally IN the Courts.
What this Inquisi.ion will end in, remains to be
seen. The Democratic members of the Committee
are understood 10 be doing everything in their
power 10 implcate members of the Republican
party. In order TO meet this fairly would sug-
gest that the House instruct the Investigating Com.
nttee to embrace in their duties the XXXIfd aud
XXXlIId Congresses, in order that we may under
stand how many laws were passed in either or both
by fraud. In this way we may learn something
about the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill
Who Will move in the matter
Mr.. Chester purged himself OF contempt to-day,
and went before the Committee, but didn't know
anything. He was a Know Nothing.
