EQUAL LAWS.

Is it possible to make Pierce Il Buchan-
an democrat understand why republicans
oppose tho present policy Of the government
in regard to the negro racel They seem to
think that we entertain peculiar affection
for our "culled bredren." Now, we would
no sooner see negro troddon under foot
than whits man; but our opposition to
democratic policy has nothing to do with
any particular regard for any class of men,
black or white. What VIC want is equal
iaws. What weprotost againsti is the attempt
TO enforce injustice and oppression by stat
ute. We care not who are the sufferers
we resist unequal and unjust laws because
they are such, and not because they arc
directed against any particular class. We
protest against the extension of slavery, the
Drcd Scott decision, and the whole policy
of the democratic party, because "human ma
ture itself" is trampled under foot. Ifoncc
injustice is sanctioned by law who can say
when his turn will comet If democracy
cannot respect the rights of man in negro,
how long can we bo assured it will respect
those rights in other men9

Not Paid
The Columbus Gazette says:

A number of the members Of the Legis-
lature after the adjournment, Messrs. Kelley,
Parsons, and Cory among the number, the
Sergeantat-Arms, and some of the Clerks,
were rather astounded on presenting their
certificates at the Auditor Of States Office,
to learn that all the money appropriated for
the pay of Members, and for Legislative
purposes, had been paid out, and that there
was no money left in the State Treasury to
meet their demands.
1t was the intention of the Legislature to
adjourn on Tuesday, and the Committee on
Finance made their estimates accor-
dinghy; but the adjournment did not take
place until Saturday morning, and the
committee in the hurry of business at the
close of the session forgot to increase the
appropriation, and the consequence is, that
those who did not present their claims until
towards the last will be obliged to lay out
of their money until the meeting of the next
Legislature, unless they succeed in making
some arrangement with the State Treasurer.

mAm ROBBERY.

The Indianapolis Journal of Thursday,
says that the mail was robbed on Wednes-
day, the other side of Cumberland in that
county. The Dayton mail is carried in a
kind of carriage under the care of boy.
The robber forged an order from the mail
agent, and overlook the carrier this side of
Cumberland, and through the order inform
cd the carrier that he was to remain at
Cumberland for further orders, and that he
(the robbery was to take the mail and car
ry it to its destination. The boy surrender
ed the mail and at Cumberland the man
who had produced the order took charge Of
the wagon and proceeded on the route with
the mail. After taking it as far as he tho'i
it necessary for his purpose, hc opened the
bags and rifed them of their valuable con.
tents

Democratic Gnlphinism.

The occasion of the assault upon New
York correspondent by relative of tho AS
sistant Secretary of tho Treasury, lately no
ticed by telegraph, appears TO have been as
follows: Hon. Richard w. Thompson, for
merly M. G. from Indiana, claims to have
been the hired attorney of the Menomineo
Indians at Washington, and charged them
for his alleged services in procuring them a
liberal sale of lands to the Government the
modest little fee of $4,000. When tho
money was paid over, tho Indians refused
to allow the bill, and took the whole sum
duo them distributing it among themselves.
Mr.. T. then coolly preferred his claim at the
U. S. Treasury, where it was of course re-
jected. Not to be baff1ed, however, after
repeated trials in Congress he succeeded in
obtaining tho passage of a bill, authorising
the accounting officers to pay his claim.
provided the Menonainee indians consented
to Il. For some reason the Congressional
clerks omitted this proviso in the transcrib-
ing of the bill, although the Journals of both
Houses show that it was incorporated there
in. Presenting this fraudulently altered
bill at the Treasury, the claim which had
been rejected by Mr.. Manypenny and by Mr..
Guthrie, under Pierce, was promptly allowed
and paid by the officials under Buchanan.
1t is intimated in highly respectable quar-
ters, or we would not give currency to such
a report that "this $4,000 was given to
Thompson in consideration of his having
given Indiana to Buchanan last fall by head.

semi-monthly mail services between Orleans
and Vera Cruz. Contracts for about 1900
mail routes, principally in New England
and New York, were let out to-day by the
Post Master General. These contracts arc
somewhat more expensive than tho prece-

An Illinois Sheriff Selling a Man mt Auc-
ton.

The Sheriff of st. Clair County adver-
tises negro man for sale at public auction
he being guilty of the "high disdemeanpr'
of having come into this free State of Hi
nois, and remaining here for ten days, for
which offence he was fined $50, rs provided
by the infamous Black Law framed by the
Democratic Legislature of 1853, and in de-
fault of paying which fine, the Sheriff of
the county in which he was found, is direc-
ted by the same Black Law to sell him TO
anybody willing to pay the $50.
The law by which SO great an outrage is
to be perpetrated upon poor, helpless man
whose only crime is dark skin, is entirely
worthy of the Douglas Democracy. A
beast is not denied the God-givon privilege
of coming into the State of Illinois when
ever it chooses, but the unfortunate black
man is ruled out as if his color was deadly
blight upon white humanity, and as if he
was not entitled to the exercise of the same
natural rights and privileges as the most
ravenous beast or tho most disgusting brute
The Infamous laws by which the black
man is thus deprived of his right TO como
and reside in our State, and which impose:
so inhuman and barbarous a penalty if he
presumes to exercise such right, ought as ,
matter of justice and humanity, to have
been repealed by our late Legislaturc-ant
they would have been repealed, but for thu
narrow-souled opposition of tho Dougla
politicians Chicago Journal
The Chicago Journal, of tho 25th says
On the 18th inst, at the time of the sale
we are informed, Ex-Lieutenant Governo
Koerner, whose Anti-Slavery affinitives ar
well known, appeared and advanced tn
necessary funds, $82,5O, fines and costl, Il
set the negro free.

fact from Mr.. Buchanan himself. He was
in the vicinity of the Treasury Department
building, about nine o'clock in the evening
-when--we take the liberty of quoting
from private letter:
"I saw passing gas light, couple of
gentlemen one of whom,--although had
not seen him for over sixteen years. al

BUGABOO!

Every house, says the proverb, has a skel-

circumcised Baal of ti-Nebraskaism."
This answers all the uses, to which some
fond and foolish mother puts the bugaboo
that sho tells her refractory offspring is hid
in the cellar or somo dark corner. If they
arc not obedient and helpful it will one day
devour them. So the Messenger, every now
and then, frightens its democratic readers
with the "uncircumcised Baal of Anti-Ne-
braskaism." When it rolls out one of its
spawned, ringboned, knock-kneed, broken
winded sentences, and winds up with thi:
euphonious phrase, there is an end. The
readers of the Messenger when they hear o.
this "uncircumcsed Baal," no doubt, figure
to themselves some hugo and gaping mon
ster which could swallow the Constitution al
a gulp, and wouldn't make two bites of the
Union itself. The discovery of this "uncir
cumcised Baal by tho Messenger was no
table thing. If it plays tho monster well
it may answer good purpose for long
time to come.

vile, Csawkee, Pleasant Hill and Jackson
vile. In Leavenwortb, Delaware, Easton
and Leavenworth City, the metropolis of
Of Kansas Territory, history Of which i
shall soon present 10 the readers Of tho
Tribune.
Heretofore tho great body Of the emigra-
ton to Kansas has poured iuto tho central
and southern portions Of the Territory
But l think that when properly understood
and appreciated, the northern will command
at least an equal share, for il offers the most
superior inducements and natural resources
that person could desire.
The Trust Lands to bo sold in June, en-
brace some 100000 acres, n large portion
of which is claimed. Although the sale
will be made to the highest bidder, the
squatters will bid in the lands upon which
they have settled at the appraisement price,
and no person will dare oyer-bid them, for
it would be equivalent to instantaneous des-
truction, as the squatters are leagued to-
gether for mutual protection against specu-
lation, and will not allow their rights to be
infringed upon; this is we'll understood.
Ali emigrants should take care to avoid
placing any confidence in the assertions of
runners" on the boats, or in flying rumors.
They should examine the condition of things
for themselves and seek to obtain reliable
information. Speculation is rife in the ter
ritory, and spectators are too anxious to
throw out false lights il they can thorcby
secure the almighty dollar" But above
all, let emigrants not be deferred from COM
ing out here from the impression that Kaa-
sas is to be slave State, or that the Terri
tory is again to become the theatre Of bloody
tragedies. The Free State party have grown
too powerful for either the one or the other
of these events to occur. The Federal
Government mighty as it is, has not the
power to enslave Kansas, and the Border
Ruffians are afraid to re-commence their
old work of invasion and slaughter. The
bold stand taken by the Free State party,
the courage they have displayed, the deter
mination they have eviuced, their over
whelming numerical preponderence, all con-
spire 10 insure peace in the future and ulti-
mate freedom Of the territory.
