New Year Day at Favette.

There was vast assemblage Of persons at
Fayette, New Year Day, and we were glad
10 note that the day passed off without any
unusual excitement.
The chief business feature Of the day was
selling and hiring slaves. We were unable
to get list Of the number sold and hired
or the prices at which they went. There
was perceptibe falling of, however, botl
in sales and hiring, but not as great as many
persons supposed, or the state Of the times
demanded.
We found our friends generally ready t
subscribe for 1.-THE Times, for another year
and expect soon TO hear from such as we
did not see, or who did not have time 10 at
tend 10 so small a matter.

1.-THE Crusader Of Freedom. y

This is The title Of a new paper Just start
ed In Doniphan, Kansas Territory, by James
Redpath, whose name will be familiar TO all
who have taken ON interest in Kansas af-
fairs. We make an extract or two from his
inaugural:
The dog, Slavery, has had its day;
and inuumerahle are the evils it has wrought.
But its day is over now, and must submit
to be muzzled or-shoi.
Foreign interference with our Territorial
elections the original cause of our troubles
and disasters will DO met in future, if the
attempt 10 control our affairs is renewed
by the rifles and artillery OF our admirably
organized and now iegalised militia. Inva.
ders will not merely be repealed, but pur-
sued. The State which can prevent such
barbarous incursions, and refuses 10 exer-
else the the power, will be punished on her
own soil for her criminal neglect. Let Mis-
souri, do her duty, and we will not modest
her; but we will teach her that we can chas-
tise her, and show her that we defy her, il
she renews her insoent and tyrancal ag-
gresslons. .......
"The Press shall be free here-now and
forever. The Forum shall be free here now
and forever. The Pull pit shall be free here
now and forevrr, I'LL men shall be free
here, now and forever. Thus speaks our
party; and its voice is Fate. All laws which
restrict the liberty Of the press, the pulpit,
or the platform, shall be repealed at once

or their DEGREES shall be set at Defiance

Worthy of Note.

The following extract is from the late

and embraces q few facts worthy Of note -

reasons that cooled the ardor OF many "out-

Conscientious scruples on the subject
Ihave said that the slaveay question, as
practical issue, had disappeared from
Kansas long before my arrival there, and
the question of self government had been
substituted in its place. On some future
occasion shall dissipate the deiusion
which has prevailed upon this subject, and
show that after three years experiment,
when arrived in Kansas, there were less
than three hundred slaves there, and the
number constantly diminishing that, as
proved by the official records of Congress
published and authenticated by those dis
| tinguished southern Statesmen, John c. CAL
houn and Jefferson Davis, the winter eli.
mate, even Of Eastern Kansas, is colder
than that Of New England, and that the
pro-sluvery Territorial Convention of Kan

ritorial Legislature, on the 4lh Of January
1857, elry five months before my arrival
there, did distinctly abandon The Slavery as

1--WE learn that at the election held on
Monday, at the Dollar Savings Institution,
"for" or "against liquidation," the vote
was unanimously in the affirmative.
The whole amount Of stock in this Insti-
tuition is 8,9O6 shares, of which there was
voted on Monday 2 ,622 shares, represented
by l04 stockholders.
The character Of this movement, we
learn, i, simply this: Some seven-eights OF
the stockholders had, previously signed a
request, in the nature Of a power of attor-
ney, authorizing the Board Of Directors 10
transfer their stock by subscription to the
capital stock of the Exchange Bank, and oil
the amount paid on the former, 10 pay the
calls, to that extent, in the latter. But as
some of the stockholders had died, and their
administrators were not empowered to sigT
for the transfer, it was deemed necessary tc
hold an election, SO as to legaize the actor
of the large majority, and The above is tht
result.
This addition TO the capital stock Of III,

for the immediate admission of Kansas as a
State under the Lecompton Constitution.
The bill will provide that the first Legisla-
ture of the State shall submit to the people
whether or not the Slavery clause shall be
added to the constitution. Also, that the
first or any subsequent Legislature may
submit to the people whether they will call
convention TO amend or alter the whole
constitution. This will meet the approval of
every Democratic Senator.
