<sThe idea that under Pro- Slavery State Gov.
ernmens niggers can be made to pay in Kansas,
is absurd. They have ceased to pay in Missouri:
Slavery is there steadily receding before the ad-
vancing waves of westward Europe, and Anglo
American emigration. Room--r0om-for their
swelling thousands, is still the cry--room room!
move on! AS far northwest as Minnesota, the
country, comparatively, is filed up; Nebraska is
filling up, and the heavy tide is pressing down
with irresistible force, not only upon Kansas, but
upon Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland
and Delaware. All these States, perhaps within
the next fifteen, perhaps within the next ten
years, will be free States.-N Y. Herald.
The red-headed Scotchman who presides over
the destinies of the Herald, is troubled with an
obliquity of vision and we verify believe it is
growing worse. The idea that 'sniggers' can't
be made to pay in Kansas becomes obviously ab-
surd when We consider how they havs paid, and
do pay, in Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia
States of the same latitude. Another mistake
Minnesota is not even yet Comparatively filed
up,' and there's room for two millions more
But the most ridiculous idea of all is the belief
that all the frontier Slave States "within the
next ten years will be Free State" " Lay moi
that fattering JUNCTION to your soul, Chevaliel
Bennett. The planter sticks to his ''nigger" a'
the Arabian does to his camel; he will eat with
him, walk with him and sleep with him. live with
him and die with him-nothing can sever tht
slave holders of Missouri from their ssproperty,
but the river Styx. Kansas will be Slave State
if reckless engineering and Border Rutdan De
mocracy can make it one. And they can ani

We learn that the ice in the river oppo-

the crossing of small boats. 5ugrd s,.R 1888
There was much weakness and an evident
inclination to break up, in the ice on the river
yesterday. The sun opened his batteries quite fu'
riously in the afternoon, and warm genial wind
helped it in the onslaught. One day more.

FROM UNSATISFACTORY.

Feb. 4-Scott and Davis correspondents Is
very volumnous; from ahasty examination of
the documents it appears that Scott declined to
give open and specific information to Davis re-
garding the expenditure of secret service money
in Mexico, believing no obligation Of public or
private honor, according to the usages of ma
lions end armies, required him to disclose names.
Under the circumstances he, however, expressed
willingness to give such information for his
private ear alone, which the Secretary said he
was willing to receive in confidence.
