lic it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for a campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery, 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress of 1877, that Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now Free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on tho
side of Freedom.

UPRIGHT MEN.-We like upright men,
Pull them this way and then the other, they
only bend, but never break. Trip them down
and in trice they are on their feet again.
Bury them in the mud, and in an hour they
would be out and bright. You cannot keep
them down-you cannot destroy them
They are the salt of the earth, Who but
they start any noble object9 They build our
cities whiten the ocean with their sails and
backen the heavens with the smoke of the
cars Look to them, young men, and take
courage. Initiate their example, and catch
the spark of their energy.

SrRICHNINE WHIsKEY.-The bad effect
Of the liquors consumed in California is not
more chargable to their alcoholic ingredients
than to poisonous matters which are incorpor-
sted in them. Some Of the most virulent
poisons, such as the oil of almonds, are used
for cooring and favoring the fluids thus adul-
terating them in sucn a manner as to act
most injouriously upon the human sytem.-
The frquent cases Of Temporary insanity and
attempts at sucdeare are often chargeble to
the facts to which we have alluded. A law
should at once be enacted to prevent the use
of posons for admixture with any liquors
which may be used for a general beverage.

Jvsr SAVED HIMsELF.--A pous Old gen
tleman, one of the salt OF the earth sort went
out into the field to catch mare that was
wont to bear him into town. He moved on
in the most approved mode. He shook a
measure of corn at her to delude her into the
belief that she was to get it, but she was not
to be deceived by any suspicious act. She
would come nigh and then dash off again,
until the good man was fretted very badly.
At last he got her in the corner among some
briars, and made dash at her, when she
bounded over the wall and left him sprawling
among the bushes. His Christian fortitude
gave way at this, and gathering himself up,
he cried, ooh, He'll" The ejaculation had
passed his lips before he thought, but imme-
dately conscious of its wickedness, he said
-"lelujah!" and translated the profane word
into note of triumph.
