War upon q Free State.

The black republicans seem determined
not only upon the doctrine Of no more
slaves States, but also upon The doctrine of
no more free States, if we NAV take their
action upon the admission of Minnesota
and Oregon as any criterion by which to
Judge. All reports from Washington con-
cur in stating that they will oppose the ad
mission of the latter at all hazards and to
the end; no device will be left untricd; no
stone unturned. In the House Comittee
on Territories the bill has been adopted
exactly as it passed the Senate last May,
and will be SO reported. The black repub-
ican members of the committee, however,
attempted to foist an amendment upon it
for the repeal of that clause of tie English
bill which prohibits the people of Kansas
from calling convention to form consti
tuition until it has sufficient number of
inhabitants for Representative in Con-
gross. Schemes are already devised for
attacking the bill when it shall come upon
the House, and if there is any possible way
in which the State can be kept out of the
Union it will be employed without scruple.
The whole party have never shown out half
the zeal in keeping out slave State that they
now 10 in keeping out this free State.
This insane war without cause and without
excuse, must serve to open the eyes of
the people to the truth as it really is; they
will see that no confidence at all can be
placed in black republican professions of
devotion to freedom and hostility to slavery,
since they are as willing TO war upon tie
one as the other. They have not even the
poor excuse of the population question
should they attempt to make the English
prohibition retrospective in its character,
since General Lane, Delegate in Congress
and senator elect from Oregon, estimated
her population in September last al eighty
thousand, and he says that she now has
more than the ratio for member. But IL
is not probable that the black republicans
will attempt any excuse; they VIII hShl
against admission for the simple and sole
reason that she does not give black repuh.
lican mojority. The public will probably
have, in this case, the most complete stul
tifoation that any party ever presented; tie
black republicans proposed to turn them
selves inside cut and go down their own
throats.-Defroa Free Press

meanwhile, Mr.. Warburton sat quietly
in his seat; none of those who were near
could unravel the expression of his face.
Eor tell what would be the next movement
in the scene. And he--of what thought
he? He had been rudely treated; he had
been unkindly taunted with the infirmity
which had perhaps come through no fault
of his. He could revenge himself if he
chose. He could tell the directors the
simple truth, and the young man would be
deprived of his place at once. Should he
do it?
And yet, why should he care9 He knew
what he was worth. He knew how he had
risen by his own exertions to The position

The following cx!oacts are taken from q

ria to an officer Of the United Safes navy
who served in the Japan expedition.
II have visited the City OF Yedo twice.

| passed nearly six months in Yelo, du
ring my two visits. and succeeded a. last
in making commercial treaty that fully
opens Japan TO our enterprising citizens,
and brings Japan fairy into the great fam
lily of nations.
"Yedo is large city of two-s story wooden
buildings. The streets are generally wide
and well severed, but not paved. 1t is prob
ably that the population Is between .5J0,-
600 and 9, 100000 There is peithe: beau
ty nor splendor to hs found there The
exterior OF the houses arc the same as you
saw at Simodia and kanagawa, and The ex-
teriors are quite as destitute of furniture
or ointment. Even ;he palace Of the En-
peror is built Of unpanted wood, and Is
equally bare OF any furniture. The golden
columns and roofs spoken of by old writers
have vanished. if they every existed. and
am assured by the Japanese that their
buildings and mode ofliying are precisely
the same as they have b.en for The last five
hundred years"

Be Courteous.

Halo, Limpy, the ears will start in a
minute; hurry up, or We shall leave you
behind
The ears were waiting at station of
one OF our Western railroads. The engine
was putting and blowing The baggage
master was busy with baggage and checks.
The men were hurrying to and fro with
chests and valises. packages and trunks.
Men, women and children were rushing
for the cars, and hastily securing their
seats.
A man carelessly dressed. was standing
on the platform of the depot He was
looking around him, and seemingly paid
little attention to what was passing. /,
was easy to see that he was man of nei-
their wealth nor influence. The conductor
of tie train gave him ccntemptuous lock
and slapping him familiarity on the shoul-
der called out:
Halo, Limpy. better get aboard or the
cars will leave YOU
Time enough. l reckon replied the
individual so rudely addressed, and he
retained his listless position.
The last trunk was tumbled into the bag
gage car.
'Aii aboardp cried the conductor. Get
on, Limpyrsaid he, as he passed the lame.
csrelessly dressed man.
The lame man made no reply.
Just as TIE train was slowly moving off,
the lame man stepped on the platform of
the last car. and walking in. quietly took
a seat.
The train moved on few miles, when
The conductor appeared at the door of the
car where our friend was sitting. Passing
along, he discovered the stranger whom he
had seen at the station.
Hand out your money here!'
Il don't pay, replied the lame man, very
quietly.
Don't pay?'
No, sir.
We'll see about that. shall put you
out at the next station and he seized the
valise which was on the rack over the head
of our friend.
Better not be SO rough. young man. re-
turned the stranger.
The conductor released the carpet bag
for moment; and seeing he could do no
more then, he passed on to collect the fare
from passengers. AS he stopped at seat
few PAGES off, a gentleman who had heard
the conversation just mentioned. looked
up at the conductor, and asked him
DO you know to whom you were speak
ing just now?'
No, sir
That was Peter Warburton, President
Of the road
'Aro you quite sure of that. sir?' re-
piled tho conductor, trying to conceal his
agitation.
Il know him.
The color rose little in the young mans
face. but with strong effort he controlled
himself, and went on collecting lis fare as
ususl.
