Is SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN KANzAs.
The act abolishing slavery in Kanzas
has not yet passed the Begislature-why
is this Where is the Bill? 1t passed
the Housc-was amended in the Coun-
Gil, and sent back to the House. What
has become Of It.? Let not our Legis-
lature be too regsrdfnl Of the so-called
"rights" Of shareholders in KanZas.-
Such Il right is mi absurdity, and every
"Cuiiee held as a slave in Kanzas is Il
direct insult to the great mass Of our
people. Let the Legislature. then, abol-
ish Slavery, by the law in Kanzas, and
if the question is to be settled by the
courts, the sooner it gets before them
the better. We believe, with a member
of the Legislature, that the Federal
Court of Kanzas is only fit to discuss
and decide upon 'the Niger question"
They arc not qualified to pass upon any
right Of the white man.-Learenworth

to have resumed the old routine, from
the last adyicos, and exchange can be
had az lower rates than NJ almost any
time previous 10 the late commercial
and monetary disasters which befcl that

rious kinds, again agitato the public

the conclusion that the lesson taught
them Of It's blighting influence upon
trade, had been entirely banished from
their recollection. We may look, with
the opening Of the spring trade, to re-
doubled tendency toward speculation in
this country. 1t seems that two lessons
