ST. LOUIS, Monday, March :

ST. LOUIS, Monday, March %.
The Topeka correspondent of the
Democrat says that the Kansas Free
State Convention was in session at that
place on the 10th and 18th inst, c. f.
Currie presiding. A committee report
ed a series of resolutions stating that
people of the Territory cannot partici-
pate in the election under the Census
Constitutional Convention Act, without
compromising their rights as American
citizens and jcopardizing the public
peace.
That the Topeka Constitution is still
the choice of the majority of the citizens,
and urge upon Congress an immediate
admission as a State under it. That
peaceful relations between the citizens
are regarded as indispensable to the wei
fare of the people and Territory, and
earnestly appeal to all men to submit
the differences of opinion growing out of
the question of domestic institutions to
the ballot-box, be held as a Just cause of
Departure from this policy.
That no tests be made for membership
to the Free State party, save the exclu-
sion of slavery from Kansas. That We
are inAexibly determinedto abide by the
principles of squatter sovereignty, as
enunciated in the Kansas Nebraska
Bill.

49, The Black Republican papers
throughout the whole Union, are pitch
ing into the Supreme Court for their
decision in the bred Scott case, and not
a few of them rave and rail at a terrible
rate, and seem ready to abolish that bo-
DIV. because its decisions are not in ac-
cordance with the views of these higher
Law republican politicians. Why don't
these learned cynics pitch into the Con-
stitution of the United States, instead of
~belaboring the Judges Of the highest
tribunal on the land, who decided this
question under their oaths, aad in ac-
cordance with that instrument? Even
our learned neighbor of the Register,
feels disposed to visit this body wits his
wrath, and bring upon them conteRgt!
Just hear what he says:
asThey win be ~impeached, not by the
President, but by the people, and in the
llistorc ayes hence, their dark reputa-
lions nd names, will be. darkened BY
the comparative brilliancy of those OF
Arnold ana burr!
Isn't that exeruciating in the ex-
treme! Z. Wouldn't those eminent ju-
rists feel mighty bad if that paragraph
would meet their eyes, and they would
find out its authorl We presume that
the Editor means by Athe people," the
small particle which is left of the uncon-
stitutieaal Black Republican party, who
are to impeacA those who decided against
them! They will cut as ridiculous a
figure in that operation, as when run
ming John G. Fremont as their eandi-
date for the Presidency But serious
Is, what will the Black Republicans do
now? The last prop has been knocked
from under them by the highest tribu-
nal of the land. They may howl and
suuirm, and deneuncc, and say as many
hard things against the majority of the
Court, as they please, but it will not
avail There is no appeal from the de-
cision. It stands, and will continue to
stand, as the law of the land, decided in
accordance with the Constitution, and
will forever settle the slavery agitation
the only "stock in trade" of this party
Perhaps our learned neighbor of the
Register, can Inform us Of its future?

Life and Death of the late Con-
SreSS.

The first and probably the last, Black
Republican Congress, yielded up its fret
full ghost at midnight on Tuesday, the
Sd day of March.-Deformed, crazy and
wicked, it's death will cause no tears.
1t will be deposited in the grave with
bleeding Kansas without mourning,
"With a dearth of patriots tears"
and when the lime of public contempt
has eaten its putrefaction, then fennel
and cabbage and poisonous vines may
make its mound green in the hearts OF
traitors. There is not one act to which
the advocate of Black Republication
can point which will merit the good
word of the historian. In a few sen
fences its whole business during its
whole life can be summed up:
Agitating for political effect:
Cutlery and clamor-Kansas Juror.
Endless and foolish speech making:
Corruption and bribery:
Voting large additions to their own
salaries.
Spoilation and plumber:
Treason:
Stopping Of appropriations and attempts
to embarrass and clog the wheels oil
Government: Like the induces of the
weather found in quack almanaes, the
doings of this miserable Congress may
be correctly chronicled thus:
Foul-with appearance of rain:
Gusty:
Boisterous:

a distressing diarrhea of the bowels,
putting the patient in great pain.
More than two hundred persons have
been attacked by it, and several have
died. In fact, eating, drinking, or slee-

to bring on the disease; and yet the
proprietor continues to receive guests
daily, and as often as they come the sue
ceeding day finds them striker with the
disease andson the high road to "the
