The Kansas Censns

The Kansas correspondent Of the st.
Louis Democrat, under date of the LIST inst,
writes as follows:
The time for taking the census of the
Constitutional Convention, expired to-day.
The Pro- Slavery men boast that they have
"large majority" There is no doubt
but this census has been taken in very
fraudulent manner. johnson county, and
other border counties in the Indian re-
serves, are reported 30 be densely popula-
ted. All the pretended claim-takers of
the Shawnee and Wea land Associations,
have been placed upon the census lists. 1t
is reported to be so elsewhere. Less than
half of the actual Free State settlers have
been taken.
Every letter or reliable statement that
comes from Kansas confirms the fear that
the laws Of the last bogns Legislature or
dering the election, and fixing the quali6-
cations of voters will be used without seru-
pie for the purposes which promoted their
passage. The National Government can
do nothing here, except what 1t ought to
do, refuse all recognition to the laws Of the
Rufians, and make proper arrangements
fer the election. on its own authority. But
this though the only possible mode of a

From an interesting obituary notice in
the TT. Wayne Times, of the Hon. Samuel
Trenton. Member of Congress from the
10Th District, we learn that his disease
was brought ON by the continuous night
and day sittings of the House during the
closing week Of the sessi,n, aggravated by
the fatigue of travel homewards withou,
rest. He was sensible till the last, made
arrangements for the disposition of his
property, gave Lis parting. instructions
to his weeping family at his bedside,
and then, with entire resignation and
expressing the fullest confidence in the
religion he had both preached and practiped
for over q years, he was gathered to h;
fathers. Mr. Brenton was born in Gallatin
County, Kentucky Nov. 22nd 1910, and
was therefore in the 4Sth year of his age
He entered the Ministry when he was 20
years old. preached at Paoli, Ill. and Craw-
louisville, Bloomington, Perrysville, La

struck with paralysis in lS4S, he resigned his
pastoral Office, and was appointed by Gen.
Taylor, the next year as Register of the TT.

Gov. Willard has an idea of acting as a
sort of Dictator, for the next two years.
He thinks that Revenue can be collected
under the old law At all events he will
try to collect it. And with no Appropria-
ton bill to take the money away, he will
have an immense fund under his control for
the purpose of engineering his way to the
Senatorship. The failure to elect officers
gives him the appointments. With these
two powers in his hanls, he hopes to stand
the foremost man of his party in 1850
He further hopes to make political capital
by the closing the Asylums, and turning
the Insane, Blind and Deaf back upon
their relatives AMI Counties. He told an
old and highly respectable citizen of this
city, yesterday morning, that the closing
!, of the Asylums would "ruin the Black
Republicans" How, nobody not endow-
ell withhs Excellency's blessing of oc-
casional double vision, can see. But the
expectation that such would be the result
has been the moving impulse of his refusal
to call the Legislature together. He has
closed the Asylums, by refusing to call a
session, to make political capital. He
will SIC how much he has made before long
The Republicans have no part nor lot in
the affair. The Administration is not
theirs. The Asylums are not under their
control. The Treasury is not in their
hands. They did not produce the embar-
rassment which Governor Willard has
used as an excuse for this measure. The
people understand the whole case, and the
Governors ostrich-like cunning will not
avail to conceal the crushing responsibility
of the Democratic Senators. lie has re-
fused to call session, though admitting
that il ought to be done, and has thus
compelled the Asylums to close, as he said
to the gentleman we have alluded TO, to
try to injure the Black Republicans. We
will see that he has ''good time'' of it.

Siayery in Prussia.

BERLIN, Prussia, Jan. 81, 1857.
'.The General Assembly of Prussia to-
day passed law ofbut one section, never
theless, with some meaning In it. This
law says: Slaves, as soon as their foot
touches the soil of Prussia, are Free
The most influential man in urging the
necessity of such law, was the celebrated
Humboldt. Heretofore slaves were releas-
ed as soon as their masters brought them
into Prussia.on the ground that there was
no positive law establishing slavery in that
State A slave when brought into it,
could not be compelled to serve his mas
ter any longer. But when Humboldt
learned that there was no law directly pro-
hibiting slavery in Prussia, the old man,
who is bitterly opposed to the Fugitive
Slave Law of the United States, did not
rest until the Minister Of Justice Attor-
ney General. laid the above law before
the General Assembly"
We translate the above from a letter
from Germany. Doubtless our African
Democracy, with It's heroes, Herbert, Matt.
Ward, Judge Kane, Atchison, Stringfel-
low, Douglas, buchanan, Pierce and DR..
Fitch, will pity CID Humboldt for urging
the passage of so s''an;i-natioual' law,

Slavery Judges ofthe L. S. Supreme Court
will decide that Alexander Humboldt is

Deafnnd Dumb Asy,um closed.

tons shall enable them to proceed again.
This makes two Of the State Benevolent

for whom they are intended. Two hun
dred more helpless souls are thrown ont of
home, out of the reach of the education
that they, more than all other beings, need,
and sent back to the idleneness and useless
ness of their former lives. The folly that
caused this calamity Is lamentable, and the
party desperation that sunk all Legislative
business under factious resistance to the
decision of an important contested case,
will have heavy account to render to the
people. And still heavier will be the ac-
count Of Gov. Willard, who admits that he
can aid in remedying this grcvious evil
that without his aid nobody can remedy it
and refuses to lift finger, or speak
wo to enable the remedy to be applied,
Whoever may have been to blame for the
defeat of the Appropriation bills and the
facts are before the country, and the people
can Judge, there is no mistake about the res
possibility ofGov. Willard for the contin-
uance of the evil, when the remedy which
may be applied, which can only be applied
by his aid, and which he says shall not be
applied This is his declaration And
his organ declared that there was no occa-
sion for any remedy--that there was no
