DEATH OF 0 H KNOX.

July 9th, JOHN KNOX, in the 50th year of his age.
FRIEND MARlUs-I look with great distrust up-
on obituary notices. Sometimes they are truly
drawn sketches of departed worth, but more fire.
%quently, perhaps, they are lying e~ulogies, pro-
nOunced on departed hypocrites, debauchees, and
villains. 1t would seem, there is no man too de-
based and vile. to have a l~auditory obituary notice.
He may be a drunkard, an extortioner, q man
s%tealer, or a kidnapper. The orphans tears
which his cruelty caused to fall, may yet be
scarcely dry, or the flood, which with the lash, he
caused to flow from the lacerated back of innocent
and unprotected woman, may still stain the earth,
If he have been q member Of some religious
organization, no matter if it be composed of man
stealers and their associates, wore a long face, kept
Sunday, paid the priest, denounced Infdels, and
attended to the religious ceremonies of the church,
with even half the punctuality of an ancient
P~hariseo-some brother will be found, unprin-
cipled enough to write a flaming obituary notice,
and while his spirit must sink, s~el'damned, to q
companionsbip Of the lowest spirits in the rogiong

INS0LENT

One of the Virginia organs, disrcgarding the in
junction Of the Cincinnati Enquirer on tho Slavery
question, to mind its own business" undertakes
to reprove Ohio in the following style which passes
for courtesy in the nomenclature OF the f.f. s.
Read it:
The conspirators of the North have TO more PHI,
ant tool than Ohio. Factionists and agitators hnd
in her a ready agent OF excess In her Prnrieni
and unnatural growth, the worst and most latal
diseases have fastened upon her. Trained and
reared in the midst Of noble impulses. she has be-
come a common harlot among the nations.
n y y II
When Ohio repudiated the law Of the land, and
protested against the decision of the supreme
Court-whon she declared that a slave once with
in her boundaries, should become free-her crown
ing act of insolence was, an appeal to the Virginia
resolutions of '9S. She arrogantly pleaded that
she was merely awaiting herself Of the asserted
principle by which each State is sovereign. in the
management Of its own informal affairs. Poor mis-
cradle sophistry When did Virginia, in settling
her internal affairs, ever seek to control the insti-
buttons of Ohio When did we ever infringe upon
her guaranteed right of property? When did we
ever declare that the Ohioan should not reclaim
his horse, or his OK, which might have strayed or
been stolen, within The limits of our jurisdiction ?
Whom, in short, did we endeavor to make her in
ternal rights q source OF external oppressnY
This is the difference between Virginia and ONO.
These are the means by which the latter essayed
to rob us. On the one side was prodigality; on the
other meanness. On the one side frankncss and
genial good will; on the other low cunning and
base hostility. We must disown such children
The hand of the old mother is not SO weak that
she may not chastise the oycrgrown idiot, who
now stands gibbcring forth a TRADE of insult and
abuse.
The above extract is the concluding portion Ola
article in tho Southern Statesman, published at Nor
folk, Va, entitled Mother and Child" The as
surance of the writer of this article approaches
the sublime. He assumes that Ohio owes fealty
to Virginia that there is no difference between a
man and an OK, and that Ohio in maintaining her
constitutional rights within her OVID territory, is
guilty of 'insolcnce' towards Virginia.
The Implication that Ohio ever soughtto Cypress
her n~eighbor, Virginia, is entirely without founda'
ton. The Oppression" or attempted oppression
comes from the other side. But why %attemptto ar
que this matter with a writer SO maniiestly blinded
by prejudice or self interest? In the language o.
uncle Toby, Ohio can afford to say to him, Go poor
devil, there is room enough in the world for mt
and thee"

WORCESTER, July s. 1857.

DEAR SIR.-The State Disunion Convention,
held at Worcester, Mass, January, 1857, recon-
n Northern Convention, based on the same
principles, during the present year. Your atten-
ton is respectfully invited to the accompanying
Call, prepared by q subcommittee designated for
that purpose.
The results of the Worcester Convention were
important. 1t established the question of Union
or Disunion, as an open question. among a large
and influential class who have hitherto shrunk
from the consideration of the subject. The able
correspondents of the Convention, who deprecated
Disunion, still recognized it as a legitimate mat
ter Of discussion. This was a great step. A
great blow was struck at the popular. unreason-
ing ~idolatry. Such blows must be repeated. The
Slave Power will have lost its chief weapon when
the North has learned to calculate the value OF
the Union. Until that is done, there will Away,
be a means of crushing us into submission.
1t may seem, to some, that the present is not O
peculiarly favorable period for such q Convention
The year after a Presidential election is always q
period of lull. 'Optimists and 'quietists' repre-.
sent that the character Of the new Administration
and tho new Congress are not yet definitely indi.
Gated. At present, affairs in Kansas look more
propitious, while'new light dawns in Missouri,

THE FREE LABORER'S GREAT ARGU-
MENT.


At last the people of the Southern states are Sc
riously looking the question of emancipation in the
face. The movements in Missouri and Virginia
are not the only evidences of it; almost every
day new indications reach us OF a ~decaying con-
fdence in bond labor. and n corresponding inquiry
into the economy Of the free. One Of the most
encouraging symptoms Of this kind has just come
under our notice. 1t is the publication of a book
written by Mr.. ii. II. Helper, of North Carolina.
who has collected in a volume Of some 400 pages
the most compact and irresistible array of facts
and arguments to prove the impolicy Of slavery,
that we remember to have encountered. The
book is entitled "The Impending Crisis of the
South-IIow to meet it," and is published by Bur-
dick Brothers, of this city. Mr.. Helper is a resi-
dent of Salisbury, Rowan county. North Carolina,
where his family have resided for several genera
tons. lie became dissatisfied with the way things
were going with him and with hs neighbOrs, and
naturally concluded there must be some reason for
the greater prosperity of the Northern States.
He was not long in finding out what the reason
was, and he has had the courage to proclaim it.
lie says that slavery is sucking the life-blood OF
the South, and that she can prosper in nothing I'M
til she gets rid Of it.
To prove this, and to convince his neighhors OF
their folly in persisting in it, he wrote the book to
which we have alluded. lie has here collected Il
body of facts and statistics against the economy,
which seems to us quite us irresistible rs Newton's
argument of grayitatiOn. We have never seen the
laClS iT"dNeu VIII 81 W pONCE. We propose lC
give some Of MS elaborate, and, we believe, consci
entious calculations, under the impression thai
they will reveal many new and surprising aspects
Of this much vexed subject.
If slavery has an advantage over free labor il
anything, it must be in the cultivation of the sol
in agriculture. Here are some of the compare
tive results of free and slave labor agriculture.
The crop of b~ushel-measure products, such al
wheat, oats, Indian corn, potatoes, rye. barley
b~uckwheat, beans and peas, clover and grassseeds
fax seed, garden products, and orchard products
in the free states, amounted in 1850 to 400, l90,0 Oh
bushels and was valued at 1851 700, 703. TIL,
same crop in the slave states, with 23S, oil squar,
miles larger area of territory, amounted to onl,
4Sl, 7G6 $50 bushels, valued at S30G, 927, 0G7, O
less than the free states some seventeen million
of bushels-nearly forty-four millions of dollars
Much as the South boasts of its enormous cotton
crop, Mr.. Helper shows that the hay crop alone o
the Northern states is worth considerably NOR,
than all the cotton, rice, hay, and hemp produced
in the fifteen slave states, more than four time,
the value of all the cotton produced in the coun
try also, that the single state of New York pro
duces more than three times the quantity of hay
that is produced in all The slave states together.

NATIONAL DISUNION CONVENTION.

By the following Address and Call it will be
seen that a committee appointed by the late Dis
union Convention held in Worcester, Mass, are
about to call another of the same character to be
held at some convenient place, for the ~accommoda-
ton Of all such in the non-slaveholding states as
favor the object, or think the proposition of dis
union worthy of discussion and examination
For our own part we believe it is directing inqui-
ry to the really useful and practical point in the
the important question now a~gitating the nation.
We rejoice in prospect of such an inquiry thus,
instituted and hope all interested will give the
proposed convention their cordial aid and sup
mort.

have hitherto divided them. The love and support
Of slavery is the ~fraternal bond that has drawn to-
gether and united these slave.driving church mem
bers and ministers. This is we presume but the
Of other unions ON this sam basis.
The Molech of Slavery is the God supremely
worshiped at the South and in his honor and for
his defence, Calvinism, Arminianism, and any
other s~octarian dogmas will be sacrificed. SucL
single.eyed regard to its interest is that which
secures the supremacy of the system.

If this is rot tyranny, oppression, usurpation,
then we do not understand the meaning of the
terms. We have great confidence that the people
of Ohio will protect her citizens la the full enjoy
mont of theirilegal rights, and that the dcluded,
and duty will be taught q lessen which will have
a %salutary effect upon the rights Of The States and
the Ie pie for all time to come.

The Kansas Tribune, says an interesting little
episode in the history of slavery in Kansas, and
one which pretty fairly exhibits the chances for the
success of that institution, occurred in the vicinity
of lIolton a few days since. A gentleman from
Missouri, believing, undoubtedly, in the entire
beneGcence of the institution" and entertaining
a laudable desire for It's indefinite extension, had
imported several specimens of chattels, with the
intention of testing the profit and utility Of unre.
Quilted toll, upon the virgin soil of Kansas. The
settlers in the vicinity, however not relishing the
idea of being converted into d slaveholding COM
munity and believing moreover, in the practicable.
ity of squatter sovereignty, publicly convened and
in a very explicit manner expressed their disappro-
baton Of such a proceeding, and furthermore vol.
unteered, unless the alleged owner, should within
a given time remove his chattels, to relieve him Of
all responsibility in regard to them. The result
was, that although this was the third effort to in
duce slavery into that neighborhood, it has so far
been unsuccessful. 1t is useless to try again.
The people of Holton will never permit themselves
to be disgraced by the existence of human slavery
among them.-Fitd. Douglass Paper.

Tho Johnson House.

Mr.. JOHNSON has just opened his new
house for the accommodation of the public,
situated on Vermont street. 1t is of stone,
eighty-three feet front, by thirty-six feet
deep, four stories in hight, including the
basement The interior arrangements are
superbly finished and furnished. A per-
son stopping at this house feels for the
time, that he is in an eastern city, SO COM
Portable are his quarters. The house has
been erected and furnished at a cost OF
about $4,000, and is decidedly the best
of any in town, and this without initiating
against the other hotels, which are very
excellent. well furnished, and conducted
to the general satisfaction of the travel
ing public.
Mr.. johnson is one of the early pioneers
to Kansas, having come out with the
Pennsylvania company in 1854. By un-
remitting labor, and attending to his own
business, he has accumulated a very res
pectable property during the nearly three
years he has sojourned in the Territory.
In passing through his well-furnished
rooms the other day, with all the luxu-
ries of modern civilization around him,
we could not but contrast his present
condition with that of his and several
other families whom VIC found crowded
together in one of the Emigrant Aid

Virginia and Minnesota.

Look at the difference, and explain it
if you canl Virginia,the mother of Pres
idents, and the nursery of American
statesmcn-is being deserted. Her own
children are running away in tens ofthou-
sands from the land of their birth, and
seeking homes in the fertile Valley of the
Mississippi. About two thousand acres
of wild land Cwild land in State that
has been settled one hundred and fifty
wears , were sold two weeks ago at the
rate of 81 per acre for half, and S125 for
the remainder. The tract lay about forty
miles from Parkersburg, within four miles
of railroad, and adapted to grazing. In
Minnesota, land lying as eligibly is eager
ly sought at three and -four, and fve
times those prices-and this in Terri
tory settled in but ten years! Can this
difference be explained on any other hy-
potheses than that FreeThought and Free
Schools promote the growth of one, and
that the suicidal system of slavery clings
like plague upon the other, shifting her
acres like blistering simeon, and plant
ing thistles in the place of Progress and
Plenty? This is the key to the enigma?

at the level of the sea, water boils at a
temperature of 212 degrees Fab. scale
The greater the altitude. the lower the
level at which water boils. BY this SIM
pie experiment, the relative altitude of
various localities are ascertained. VOL
ostencraft states that the variation is equal
to $50 feet to the degree; while other sci
entific writers state that it is but 525 feet
tosa degree Fremont estimated IN this
way the altitude of Delaware crossing,
which is ten miles above the mouth of
the Kansas river, at 100 feet. while OBJ
servations taken near the mouth of Re-
publican and Smoky Hill Forks, show
the altitude at 926 feet.
By apersonal experiment and observa-
ton the other day, we found that water
boiled in Lawrence at temperature of
200 degrees, or three degrees lower than
that given at the sea. Wolostoncraft's
estimate would make the altitude ofLaw-
renee more than twice what Fremont's
figures make it a point thirty miles east Of
this. The probability is that Fremont's
