The Kanzas news., 1857-08-15

Charles Mofat, of Topeka, was arrested
on the 9th inst, by the U. S. Marshal on
charge of assaulting E. c. K. Garvey. of the
same place, with intent to KILL The circnm-
stances of the assault are as follows 1t ap-
pears that Garyey, taking advantage of there
being no means of recovering debts to which
a Free State man will resort, refuses to pay
just and honorable ones which he is owing
to various citizens of Topeka. Moffat being
one of the aggrieved parties, determined to
have the money. So one day last week he
seized Garvey, carried him down to theriY-
er bank and threatened to duck him -uHiess
he "forked over" Garvey did not like
this "new way of collecting old debts.'' so
discharged the bill. Several other persons
wished to employ Moffat to collect their
dues for them, which he did. Garvey, mad
that he was made to disgorge, few to his Le-
compton friends, entered a pitiful complaint
before the Grand Jury, and the arrest of Mr..
Moffat is the result.

Compensated Emancipation.

Some years ago Mr.. Webster avowed
his willingness to vote $500, 900, 600, more
or less, to the purchase and emancipation OF
all the slaves in the South. He regarded
that as the only permanent remedy for the
slavery agitation. Elihu Burritt has pub
Eshed paper on the equity and expedien-
ey of this plan of Compensated Emancipa-
ton, as he terms it. AMI gives notice of a
convention to be held some time next month,
to carry the scheme into execution. The
call for such convention, he says, has al
ready been extensively signed by all classes
in all the States, including the hundred re-
spectacle citizens of Delaware. Th prof.
ect Is not unlikely to be well received in the
northern tier of Slave States.-N J. EUe-

% Ola c.v of Diaur,ion.

The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Enquirer, who has been fur
nished with convincing proofs that the Ad-
ministration must bow to the sentiment
awakened in the North by the Republican
party, closes his letter to that paper with
the following threat:
..But mark what follows. To the South
the Union is chiefly indebted for all its ter
ritory;; the vast Northwestern Territory
among the rest. Opposition to the acqui-
sition of Territory has always existed at the
North, and but for the South not an inch
would ever have been added to the Union
We have at least equal right in it. This
opposition to increase of Territory has al
ways been most jealous aud intolerant In
Massachusetts,, and with the federal party
in Massachusetts, the sires of the infidels,
the free lovers, the agrarians, the spiritual
rappers, and the abolitionists, who disgrace
humanity III Boston; the sires of the men
who are buying up the rabble, the proletari-
ans, who infest and disturb society at home,
arming them with rifles, and sending them
to Kanzas to attempt to expel ANONYMOUSLY
from her fair fields, the Southerners, who
acquired the territory, and who were pio-
neers In its settlement. We say ignomini-
ously, because the white slaves sent out by
the Emigrant Aid Society, who will live on
less, and work harder than negroes. and are
therefore cheaper labor, assert that Southern
gentlemen are too immoral to be tolerated in
Kanzas. And be il Remembered that this
very territory was dedicated to slavehold-
ing by the treaty of cession with France.
If the Free State men of Kanzas deter
mine to afix the brand of ignominy to
Southerners-to expel them from territory
TO which they have the far better right-it is
bat too probable that the knell of this Un-
ion is sounded There is now CALLING
sense of wrong. inflicted by the North
a suppressed indignation-ready to burst
forth with uncomfortable explosion at the
very next provocation. 1t is not worth
while to say ''peace, peace, when there is
no peace It is far better to set about pre-
paring for the approach of evils whose ad-
vent cannot be prevented. We deprecate
disunioH; we would bear and forbear much
longer; but such is not the temper of the
South
The Kanzas news., 1857-08-15
Judge Cato.

We would refer our readers to the cores
pondence in another column, which passed
between Judge Cato and some members of
the legislature and others. The Judge pre-
tends that he gives merely private opin-
ion, but he is addressed as Judge of the Fed
eral Court, and in thus pronouneing when
no case was before him, has condemned the
people without hearing. So we are not to
vote unless we pay bogus taxes. Who will
pay those bogus taxes? Who? The
amount of it is that Free State men shall not
vote. And how absurd it is to declare one
section of the law void" because it con-
fiiets with the '' organic act, and to declare
the other two clauses, one requiring the pay
ment of tax, and the other six months res
idenee, both in violation of the "organic
act" as binding" They strain at gnat
and swallow camel.

Free sneech in Texas.

ga paper called the Free Press, published
at Quitman, Texas has been suppressed
A pro-slavery mob voted to destroy the of
flee, and gave Winston Banks and Mr..
Lemon, the editors, twenty-four hours in
which to leave the place. The press was
demolished, and the editors fed. The pa
per advocated the substitution of free for
slave labor in Texas, as best for its material
interest, but made no moral opposition to
slavery as wrong in principle
The destruction of presses in Texas will
not have the effect to stay the tide of free
emigration that is flowing into that State
New and more radical papers will be estab-
lished on the ruins of those DESTROYED
Free speech will be the gamer by all attempts
to muzzle il. Texas viii furnish at least
one Free State to the confederacy.

More Repudiation.

1t has always surprised US TO know why
the South acquiesced so quietly in the NOM
ination Of the .faeiEe Mr.. Buchanan. No
torious rs that gentleman is for feats of po-
Etical agility. We always felt that more pledg-
es were given the committee of the Cincin-
natl Convention who waited on him to inform
him of his nomination, than they would be
willing to let the public know. The appoint
ment to Office of the leading Border Rufians
IN Kanzas, was to as one evidence of that
contract, and the following extract from a
late speech of Senator Brown of Mississippi,
may throw light on other portions of the
same agreement:
ssHe did not believe that Mr. Buchanan
would suffer Walker Tn retain his place as
Governor of that Territory. but if he did.
the South would rise up and denounce him
as false to the great principles of the Kanzas
bill, and traitor to her best interests. He,
for one, would do so, and so would every
true southerner. He had heard Il from tie
Presidents osca Ups, that this thing Of Squat
ter Sovereignty soas one Of the most dansna-
BE heresies that scas erer broached an asis or
0ny other country, and that he (khe Presi-
dent ssoslld ieare nothing uudone to throttle
q. Mr.. B. had told the speaker this in all
sincerity, and he believed him He had no
doubt bar ksaf Walkers appointment sriH Be
cancelled"
It VIII be Remembered thai Senator f,rawn
was one OF the committee who informed Mr.
Buchanan of his nomination, and that he is
generally recognised as the Administration
mouth-pieee in his own State, in opposition
to Gen. Quitman and jefferson Davis
Therefore, what he utters comes with the
stamp of authority on it, and however the
President NAV desire that his jealous friend
had left the above unsaid, he cannot ignore
its paternity.
1t is but another example of the ingrati-
tude of Democratic politicians, and proof
of how little they value their word, and with
what facility they violate most solemn pledg-
es. Are the people of Kanzas willing to
trust such rotten, hollow hearted set as
this same party? If not let us remain true
tothose fundamental principles of liberty and
truth, which ever should animate the hearts
and guide the actions of those who are strug-
Cling for their attainment.
The Kanzas news., 1857-08-15

The President and Cabinet are much con-
cerned at the attitude taken by the citizens
of Lawrence, or rather at the determination
manifested by the Free State party to adhere
to and maintain the Topeka Constitution
" = Times.
Of course they are, for therein lies our
only strength. Adherence to our State
Organisation Mo recognition of Bogus
Laws, are the safe guides of the Free State
men OF Kanzss. The Democratic fzrty
feel toward the Topeka Constitution as did
the British Tories toward the Deelarsion
of Independence.
The Kanzas news., 1857-08-15
Lawrence.

The news from Lawrence viii be found
in full in our correspondence from that
place. Things is workin'," !" some, The
Governor seems determined to change the
note of mirth which his sudden departure
and equally sudden return called forth, to
something more serious. The arrests which
have been made and the rumors that Lane
and Robinson and other prominent Free
State men were to be arrested in few days
had caused considerable excitement. Ii
was also rumored that Walker had n1sde a
demand on the War Department for $500
more troops and several pieces of artillery
Business was brisk Notwithstanding the
threatening aspect of things.

a Republican PARTY.

Our Manhattan correspondent, .tAlbetri-
GUS" whose communication will be found
on the outside of to-day's paper, asks
'sHad We not better come out squarely on
the Republican platform, and adopt the
name of Republicans go We answer, not
by any means. Let there be no Issues
raised ner new names substituted for those
now used. The Pro-siavery party are try
ing TO hide their designs behind the name
of National Democrsey:;., but let as not
initiate their example. There can be but
two parties here until the question of Free
dom or Slavery is settled. Ours is the
party of Freedom, and to assume any other
title would be losing ground. We should
not identify ourselves with any of the par
ties In the States until tie question is ssettled

GESTs:-Your note of the 3lst nit. is be-
fore me, asking an expression of my views
as to whether the fifth section of the act of
the last Legislature repealed the act of the
former Legislature, prescribing the qualif-
cations of voters.
/ am unable to see any impropriety In Civ
ing an opinion on the question which your
note presents; it is simply an opinion, how
ever, entitled to no more weight than that
of any other citizen.
You have copied, In your note, the sec
ton referred to, hence need only give my
views in relation to it l am clearly of
opinion that the Legislature intended to su-
peradd to the other qualifications prescribed
by the then existing law, that of being
bona fsde inhabitant, who shall have resided
In the Territory sac months 5efore the next
general election There is no clause In the
act of the last Legislature expressly repeal
ing the election law, as il stood before the
passage of the act; and the rule which gov
erns in cases of repeal by implication, IS to
examine the provisions of both the old and
new Statutes, and if there be no inconsistent
cy in their provisions, if they are all reconei
liable with each other, and can have their
full operation. there Is no repeal of the for
mer by the latter.
The only inconsistency observable, be-
tween the election law as It stood. up to the
passage Of the fifth section, Is this: the cleo
ton law, as It stood. required simply. a
mere isaha5itaney, and the existing law re-
quires an actual residence OF six months
am satisfied that the last Legislature in
tended TO make no further change, leaving
the payment of Territorial tax, still as an
indispensable prerequisite te the right to
vote at our next general election.
/ agree with you. in the opinion that the
fifth section of the act of the last Legisla-
ture IS void, so far as it confines The right
to vote to citizens of the United States on
y. who possess the other qualifications pre-
scribed; because the Organic Act contains
an express prohibition TO the passage Of any
law which would deprive persons. of the
right to vote. who have declared on oath their
intention to become citizen and have taken
an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States and the Organic Act.
Returning my thanks for the expression
of your confidence in my opinion. remain
Most respectfully,
