threw Us into difficulty. viii not do for
those who are suffering from those diff
culties. Lockers %, persons In the States
may talk Of that; but we ara interested
to know how we shall emerge from our
difficulties Persons who were swimming
or floating upon broken pieces of their
wrecked vessel would be thought insane
to contend about the cause of their being
wrecked the only question of interest
being how shall they escape from the
censequencesof their wreck. To get into
port with them is the question. And to
refuse relief from any vessel however i'm
perfect in its construction, would be to
lose the sympathy of all sensible men,
The cry that to go ashore by faulty yes
sci would be to Areoogsize'' imperfect ship
building would not answer. We think
there would be boilers from such poll
cy. To stay at sea is to certainly perish.
To go on board pirate vessel we can
only lose our lives-we may save them.
"Put Us ashore, and we will then talk Of
the most approved method of ship-build-
ing. and of insurance against wreeking;
but till then, we rule all other questions,
out of order.'' But it may be replied
that there is more than one mode of es-
cape. If so, we say take the pest 1.-two
vessels offer relief, take that which will
certainly be admitted into port. To be
held eternally in quarantine is really to
refuse all relief. To refuse all relief un-
less it be offered in the most acceptably
manner, is for the donee to dictate to the
donor. We believe this is not generally
considered in good taste. While we are
very far from saying that the people of
the Territories "haye no right which 9TH
er men are bound to respect, p we do regard
the Federal Government as paramount.
1t may exercise control over the Terrific
ries. 1t is morally bound to exercise that
control with forbearance, with moderation
and with justice. Its control is parental,
and like all parents it is liable to abuse
its authority. Still, IFS authority cannot
be disregarded. In the case of Kansas
we are free to admit that the Federal Gov
ernment has abused its authority. We
might admit thus much in the case of a
parent with reference to child; but still
We shonld think it very disrespectfui on
the part of .he child, to turn round and
fog the parent! Still more should we
dissent from daughters chastising an
oppressive parent! We hope this young
est sister of Uncle Sans viii reflect be-
fore she shall undertake to ehastise him
into an affectionate mood.
The radical portion of the Free State
party say they wiH be lovea and respected,
or they win right for it, and conquer a
marriage" The conservative portion say
that they greatly desire to be loved and
esteemed, and they mean so to conduct
that it cannot long be withheld from them
We think they will succeed. We have
known several 'told maids 1--WE use the
term respectfully get pettish and COM
plain that proper attention and respect
was not shown them, we never knew theiI
bad temper to soften an oppressor's heart.
We have known their patience and good
temper to overcome many. But the ex-
treme portion of the radical party will
We think, in time, be corrected and cured
of their excesses. We remember several
instances of persons who had com.
mon origin with them having fallen into
ludicrous blunders, the recitation Of which
will, We think, illustrate their position
We recollect, when boy, to have beer
present at the examination of two persons
in case of assault and battery. Th,
case, as nearly as we can recollect it, wa
as follows Cries of 'murther, murther,
were heard by one Of the police in th'
direction of shanty at some little dis
tance from where he was stationed. HI
at once proceeded to the shanty and fount
two men beating and pulling the hair o
two women. He arrested the assailant
and took them to the lookup for tn
night. In the morning, after having be
come sober, and rejecting on the reason
for their unpleasant condition, they wer
taken into court. The justice heard tn
case and imposed q fine of So each, ant
ten days imprisonment. After hearin
the sentence, and as they were about be
| ing taken away to their place of confne
ment, says one of them, sand is it this y
call liberty ?'' aI've bate my wife man
