CHERBoURG AND ENGLAND.-This is the title of a
pamphlet, just published in France the writer, it is
said holding subordinate Office in of the depart
ments. The language of the pamphlet is so hostile to
England that the English journals point to its publca-
ton almost simultaneously with the Cherbourg fetes as
evidence of the little reliance to be placed on the EN-
perors professions of friendship The following extract
will show its onanuS:
The history Of England is permanent scandal the
success of England dsturbs the conscience like the sight
of lucky brigand But if the brigand sometimes
escapes punishment EARTH it is not so with cities or
nations Where is Charthage? where will naughty

land declaim against France, let them reflect on the
amount Of support they would obtain from the English
people on the day when French General should pre-
sent himself with universal suffrage in one hand and
the Code Napoleon in the other. From the present
moment it is not only to Heaven that the English work
will appeal in his misery he will also keep his eyes
fixed in the direction of Cherbourg and seek to discover
in the cloudy horizon the approach of the fleet of delv

In answer to the enquiries of friend in Norfolk in
relation to the money of the Farmers Bank we have
say that persons take it and others refuse it, except
at heavy discount. We believe the Bank perfectly

The want of confidence in its sovency abroad has pro-

have been forced to procure other funds for the payment
Of all debts beyond boundaries while this money

Legislature, and to the Free State candi-
dates Of Leavenworth County ]
And yet another RoOrbaek has been
started to aid the Lecompton Swindle =
You hear men assert that the last Legis-
Istnre passed an exemption law, securing
q mans farm and so much improvement
upon it, or so much town property, from
execution for debt, thereby rendering it
impossible for one to collect q debt, as
q man may be exceedingly wealthy, hay-
ing splendid and well improved farm,
or . magnificent town residence, which
cannot be touched to satisfy an honest
debt. They tell you that Black Re-
publican Legislature passed this law, and
they want Kansas admitted as State, in
order to get the control of it out of the
hands of the Black Republicans ! No
such exemption law was passed by the
Legislature. We see this practically
contradicted every day. by mems property
being taken and sold for debt. No such
law exists in the Territory. A provision
somewhat Of that character was inserted
in the Leavenworth Constitution, but that
Constitution is as " dead as door nail. I"
Besides, how would the matter be remedied
by accepting the Lecompton Constitu-
ton /? AllTerritorial laws would remain
in force until repealed; and who would
repeal that law Has not Calhoun issued
certificates and has he not issued certif-
Gates to the Free State candidates of Lea
venworth County, thereby giving that
party majority in the Legislature? Many
persons elected to that Legislature. were
members Of the Territorial Legislature,
by which, it is asserted, this exemption
law was passed. How would that bettor
the matter? But, perhaps, Calhoun
would have the triggers SO set as to snug
gle Pro-Slavery majority into the Leg
islature. If that be the case, it is another
inducement to vote against Lecompton.
Come, gentlemen, it won't do-these
stories won't hang together, and Lecomp-
ton is bound to die the death of a dog
Surprising such an exemption law as has
been referred to was enacted by the Leg
islature-what would be the proper means
to get rid of it? Would it be to accept
Lecompton, and come in under a similar
Legislature? Or, as there is a Legisla-
ture to elect in October, would it not be
better to remain a Territory, and go to
work and have the candidates pledged, if
elected, to repeal that law, and also pass
a law to bring Kansas in as State, fair
ly and honestly?
No, gentlemen - arguing, imploring
and threatening are of no avail. Leeomp-
ton is bound to be strangled-and, Free
men of Kansas, it now only remains for
You to do it !
