BRIGHAM YOU'VE ON MASTER SPIRITs.-In
one Of his recently reported Tabernacle
stalks, Brigham Young says:
"The whole world are sadly in want of
what they call u master spirit. That is what
the government of the United States are de-
Prived of; there is not one to be found among
them, neither in the Cabinet of the President
nor i'll the Senate of the United States they
are all gone, and there is no one in their
midst competent to lead and dictate in the af-
fairs OF our genera, government; but, as they
say, it is with them period of mediocrty.
1t has been acknowledged by Great Britain
that the master spirits are fed there are none
in the British Parliament, and they know not
what to do Let this people come to that con-
dition, and say that they have Ito person ca.
pable of debating and leading them, and you
will be in the whirlpool of delusion. 1t will
be every man for himself, and you would not
know what to do; you would not know how
to dictate your own affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.-The report made
today by Mr.. Green, from the Senate Com
mittee on Territories, recites at length the
events that have occurred in Kanzas, and as
serts that the majority of tho people NAV
simply, as in ancient days, assemble in mass
meeting, and make a constitution, or thew
may elect Representatives to make one for
them, or elect Representatives to draft one. to
be submitted to them for their approval or re-
lection. The last method has been the most
approved during the past few years, though
formerly the second method was very general
ly resorted to. In calling the convention for
this case, it was conceded to have been strict
ly legal as was also the election of delegates
Was it not logical to infer that the conven-
ton, so legally called and elected, and clothed
with authority to make e constitution, can no
more be interiered with by the Governor,
Judge, or Legislature. either to increase or
diminish its power, or to alter, modify. or
nulify, its acts, than could the people be in
terfered with, en- naasse, instead Of by their
Representatives
In conclusion, the committee say that the
abolitionists in Kanzas had thus far sought
power by methods unknown to the law. and
by acts of violence, and not through the
peaceabls agency Of the Observation-Disclosures

SELLING DRUNKEN MAN FOR DISSECTION
Some nights ago, says the New York Tricune,
a number of young men, while on their way
home came across a seedy looking individual,
perfectly insensible from the effects of liquor,
stretched at full length upon the sidewalk.
Their funds were quite exhausted, and how
to ''raise the wind" had been for some time
matter of discussion. A proposition to bag
the drunken loafer and sell him to the doctors
at a medical college was agreed upon. A bag
was procured, the inebriate slipped into the
sack and borne upon the shoulders of the
party to the college. The doctor answered
the summons at the bell and demanded what
was wanted, when the spokesman said,
CDR, we have got stiff for you" The DR..
asked but few questions, and paid S. for the
"stitf, that being the sum required. The
sack, with its contents. was deposited in the
hall, and the fellows had taken their depar-
ture, when the loafer, who had been thrown
in rather an uncomfortable position, attracted
the attention Of the doctor just as he was
about closing the door. He at once perceived
the man was alive, and again opening the
door, hallowed to the young fellows, who
fingered on the walk, telling them the man
was alive. 'tAll right" said the spokesman !;
you've got him now, and YOU can kill him
when you want him." The doctor saw that
he was sold, and pocketed the joke.

TEMPERANCE LAw.-The Territorial Legisla.
ture Of Kanzas has passed the following strin-
gent license law:
The bill provides that before man can pro.
cure license, two thirds of the citizenship in
which he intends to pursue his traffic must decide
by an affirmative vote that they are willing to al
low the sale. The license fee is large, and he
must Furthermore enter into bonds of $4,000, with
three property holders as sureties that he will be
responsible for all damage that may ensue from
his business He can be sued by any wife or mi.
nor, through guardian, for damages caused by
the husband or father neglecting his family or
business in consequence Of the traffic He is
held liable for the support Of any pauper, lunatic
or criminal, proven to be caused to be such by the
business in which he is engaged. Heavy penal
ties in the shape Of fines and imprisonment for
violation Of the law, are provided for.
II these provisions are strictly enforced for
few months, border rufianism will be effectually
killed in that Territory.

WRITER'S MoTHER.-The Friends Re-
0te'o (Philadelphia) publishes the following
passages of a private letter from John g.
Whittier, the Quaker poet, referring to the
recent death of his mother:
"All that the sacred word mother means in
its broadest, fullest significance, our dear
mother was TO us. A friend, helper, coun.
sellor, companion lever loving, gentle, and
unselhsh. She was spared to us until in her
seventy eighth year, and passed away, after
sickness of about three weeks, in the full pos
session OF her faculties, in exceeding peace,
and with an mistaken trust in the boundess
mercy of our Lord. 1t was beautiful aud
holy death-bed. Perfect love had cast out all
fear.

KANzAs.-A Lawrence correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette gives the following account Of
the passage, in the Territorial House of Repre-
sentatves, of an act imposing the penalty of
death on any one who should attempt to give eff
feet to the Lecompton constitution, as telegraph
ed by the correspondent OF the Boston Journal
two or three days since:
s'The preamble sets forth that neither the Lee
compton convention nor constitution have any
just authority, or shadow of authority, from the
people Of KdnzGs.
1t then goes on to provide that for the dicta.
tor to declare, by official proclamation, the Le-
compton constitution to be the constitution of the
State of Kanzas, or call upon or commission any
personssto act as officers under it !; or for any
senator, governor, lieut.. governor, secretary au-
dtor, or treasurer of State OF member of the leg.
lslature, TO attempt in any way to give effect to
that constitutional government, or to exercise
authority under it, shall be felony, punishable
with death.
The bill was drawn mp by Judge Conway.
The act brought out a good many violent
speeches. The Presidents message had lust
been received, and there was a general feeling
OF evaporation among the free State men. The
Speaker Of the House (Mr. Deitzler) said if
news OF the passage of the Lecompton consti-
ton should arrive here before the adjournment of
this body. he didn't know but he should leave the
chair, and move the appointment of a committee
to provide for hanging the President
Many members declared their readiness, If the
LecomptOn constitution should pass, to shoulder
their muskets, and fight anybody, or any power,
that should attempt to give vitality to it. II it
came to that they were ready TO resist the feder-
al government to the bitter end never heard
as many revolutionary speeches made in any
Lawrence or Topeka convention. 1t was agreed
nearly unanimously. that the passage of the act
would be an appropriate answer to the Presidents
message. The bill passed the House by vote
OF 50 to g.. Its passage was followed by tremen-
duous applause
Gov Denver vetoed the bill establishing the
territorial seat Of government at Minnesota, but

The NEoRo RAcE.-BOyard Taylor, writing
from Egypt said
These friends of the African race who point
to Egypt as proof of what that race has
accomplished, are wholly mistaken. The on
ly negro features represented in Egyptian
sculpture are those Of slaves and captives
taken in Ethiopian wars Of Pharaohs. The
temples aud pyramids throughout Nubia, as
far as the Daref and Abyssinia, all bear the
hieroglyphy Of monarchs, and there is no
evidence in all the Valley OF the Nile that the
negro race ever attained a higher degree Of
civilization than is at present exhibited in
Congo and Ashantee. l mention this, not
from any feeling hostile to that race, but
simply 10 coniroyert an opinion very prevalent
In some parts Of the United States.
