Ayers CHERRY PEcToRAL.-Amongst
the many nostrums that are daily heralded
forth to the public as panaceas for nearly
all the ills which afiict humanity, there are
no doubt, many that are entirely worthless,
and others hat possess all the merit which
is claimed for them. Among this latter class
stands foremost .he invaluable family Medi-
cine, the name of which heads this para
graph. This is no idle puff. We speak
knowingly, having tested its efficacy on
several occasions the past year, in our own
family. At this season, when colds and in.
auenza are so prevalent, We confidently rec
commend the free use Of this prsparution..-

ton of certain clauses in the will Of John
L Poindexter,. the main clause bearing on
the subject reading as follows:
"The negroes loaned my wife, at her
death, ] wish to have their choice of being
emancipated or sold publicly. If they pre-
ter being emanciPated, it is my wish they
be hired out until a sufficient sum be raised

court deciding that the provisions Of a, will
giving to slaves the option at the death Of

are void, the slaves having no legal capacity
to make such selection-ihat slaves have no
civil or social rights, no legal capacity to

Bernhisel, is at the bottom of the appoint
ment OF Peace Commissioners to treat with
Brigham Young. A Washington cLrrespon-
dent writes;
at is believed here by many that the pro-
ject of sending peace commissioners to Utah
did not result from any studied policy on
the part OF the PresiCen: and his advisers,
but rather from the suggestions of the Utah
Delegate, Mr.. Bernhisel. This gentleman
has been m;nutely familiar with the feeling
of the Government and the nation, AMI with
all the preparations that have been going
On for conducting warlike operations against

The Destiny of Republicanism.

Man floats almost passively down the tide
of human events. He is auxiliary to the
great events transpiring, but they rule the
nan, and write out his destiny. He 10 borne
on by the tide of progress through his day,
seemingly to hasten to an unknown END.
Sometimes a giant mind will 5re asst the
food and turn the channel, but in the new
channel he is borne on as before. He may
turn the course of events but he cannon
check the progress. Through centuries
Long passed, age upon age, has fioated down
this stream, and helped sew the seed, the
fruits Of which we are now reaping. The
same contest has marked every step down
to the present. Human rights, and human
wrongs, the i~rreconcilable enemies have
taught many bloody battles. Nations and
men have been the agents in the hands of
each, and fearfu. indeed has been the strus.
gle. All through the dark ages the turbid
stream ffoased ;on dark as the waters Of
Lethe, and there seemed amid the revelings
Of the grim monster wrong, not one ray of
hope to the world. But truth with prevail
ing power again ,riumphsd, and from that
day to this has made rapid strides, over
leaPing all barriess Of wrong, crushing be-

once enslaved the world, while following
the westward tide of emigration, we find
the condition of the people lettering, the
disposition of Governments milder, and the
rights Of the people the object of Govern

in this respect is gained in our own country
yet our rights here are forced through many

present time there is a grea, warning of
elements in this country. Great has been
the attempt to cry down agitation of the
question Of slavery. Parties have ignored
the question, and declared that Its agitation
should be put down. yet the nation is thrown
headlong into the widest commotion by the
agitation of this very question. Embraced
in this question, is that over which the
world has always cantended, and BY an ove-
ruling power, it lie now forced upon US. To

The Deed is Done.

En- an the history of the country, there is
no national act so deeply dyed in corruP-
tion and iniquity as that just perpetrated by
Congress in the passage of the ENGLISH
Sill, for the admission OF Kansas. But the
deed is done, and ages will not wipe out
the stain. From the beginning of the
struggle, the President and party have used
rbc appointing power alone for the accom-.
plishment of this criminal end. The Pre-
sident, with the dictatorisl power of a Pope,
has Numbered forth bis edicts and the whole
party has followed in the wake. That men
were bought there can be no doubt; and
judging from facts Messrs. EsGLIsB, Cox
and LAwREScE, run high in the figures
That the honest voters in this Congression-
al District will give LAWRENCE a rebuke
that vii! sink. him SO deep in political in.
fanny that the final trump will hardly reach
him is just as certain as he comes home
He will scarcely meet a fri end to commend
him. Not one Democrat in ten in all this
District, will sanction bis course. LAW
RENEE acted like a man in the first of the
struggle. He was in the light. and he
walked like one in the light of day, bat
now how changed. Without one reason,
in fact, with reason against him, he deserts
the position, upon which he declared he
would remain as firm as the rock of G ibral-
ter: VIZ. LAWRENCE could not but have
known that he did not represent his rom
stiiueAts in this vote. He knew full well
that it was in reality the same measure
agaiLst which he had voted before. He
knew full well that it was not the will o
the people Of Kansas, but only of a Demo-
cratic ADMINISTRATORS. Yet he did the deed
snd in consequence is politically damned
This bill we have received before and had
keped that our kind readers would no; be
bored BY another notice Of this iniquity. But
tECiC q nob NC SouhOt pass lightly
and do cur duty. In the passage of this
b~ilICongress has said that if Kansas Il
riline to come in as a S1aus State, under a
bastard Constitution, she shall be admitted;
only 10000 Of a population shall be re
quired to entitle you to a Representative;
but If you will not content yourselves with
a.Slaue Constitution , you can remain out o.
the Union, and shall not be entitled 10 g
Representative in Congress until you car
muster SO, oeo population. Now when we
consider that the people of Kansas have a
Constitution formed according to law, and
embodying the known will of the great ma.
iority of the people of the Territory; and
when VIC consider that the great principle
Of the Democratic party was that the will
of the people should be Sovereign; we are
shocked that principle should be abandoned
the will OF the people discarded, and the
great principles of right trampled under
foot. But such is done, and that with i'm
punity. The Democratic party has gained
its last victory. 1t was a bold scheme at
power, yet with seeming victory, they cover
themselves with inglorious defeat. Think
you, the people of this free country viii
sanction sny such crime, Verify no, they
will scout it as the work Of the devil as it
surely is. o..

II Boards of Education.

OFFICE OF STxrE Com. OF Con-. Schools.
COLUMBUS, April -, 1855
GExrLEMEs:-The Legislature ON yes
terday SO amended section % of the Gsner-
al School Law passed March Il 1853, as
tosmake it read as follows:
"SEc. 23.-The Township Board of Ed
shall have power, when, in their
opinion, justice and equity require it, to es-
innate separately the cost of purchasing a
school house site, and erecting or repairing
a school house thereon, in any particular
sub-district Of the township wherein the in
h bitan!ah q 30. heretofcre borne a rea-
soHsble burden OF taxation for
such parison with other SUBJ
disIriGf poFnship, and certify such
pofuon asShey may deem just and equitable
Of the amount of such estimate, to the
County Auditor of the proper county, to-
gether with a map OF the lands and names OF
taxpayers in any sub-district; which
amount, 60 certified, shall be assessed BY
the Auditor on tine property therein subject
to taxation, and placed on the county dupii-
cate specially, and be collected and paid
over in the same manner as other school
taxes. and be applied for the specific pur'
pose of providing a school house in such
sub-district: PROVIDED, That such tar shall
moi be levied III any sub-district rherein The
same has been heretofore levied, nor in any
case shall at be assessed more than once IN the
same sua-district: and further prouided, that
such tar shall not he assessed in ans sub-dis-
trict ,shich mag be hereafter created, antese The
said su6-district shall be IMPOSED in sohole Of
territory npon uhich such tar has not hereto
fore been teuied."
The last clause of the section, printed IN
italics, is additional to the section as ii was
previous to this amendment. 1t is highly
desirable that its force and import should
be correctly understood. 1t is designed and
sdog,ed to limit the application Of the sec
ton to appropriate purposes. Hitherto the
law has, N many instances, been misunder'
stood and misapplied. This has given rise
TO numerous abuses and difficulties, in the
administration of our school system; the
repetition of which will be prevented by
The amendment enacted. p g
1t should be distinctly understood that q
special, or sub-district tax, can be levied fol
no other purpose, whatever, than for the
"cost of purchasing a school house site, ant
erecting or repairing a school house there
on" and that even this tax can not again b.
levied in ''any ub-district wherein the same
has been heretofore levied, nor in any cast
shall it be assessed more than once in the
same sub-district." '
As this amendment took effect on its pas
age, it will become necessary that specia
meetings be held BY all Boards of Education

slant, take action not CONSTANT Herewith

In this wonderful age, Art lays her mas
