A HOPELESS Case,

We almost despair Of making anything
out Of the editor of the Express. A short
time since, we entertained slight hope
that by judicious course Of oftaining, we
might make decent man Of him, and,
last week, gave him as lesson, the SD
verse Of the 30th chapter Of Proverbs, as
being peculiarly appropriate 10 his Jaile"
condition. He says he has no confidence
in our sincerity, and then breaks out at
his old tricks worse than ever, accusing
US of personally abusing Democrats, &c.
We believe now that our duty is plainly
pointed out in Mathew, 7th chapter, 9th
verse, and must try some means of re-
formation suitable to lis nature, and
which he can appreciate.
We naturally turn to the "E. Campus
Vitus," as our las! hope, and intend to
take him through that ancient and honor
able institution. There he will see him
self exactly aa others see him; and when
he sees the Great Chinese Scroll unfurl
ed, and looks upon his likeness, as a mar
beholding his natural face in glass, we
have hopes that he may reform. We dc
not intend to give the young man up as
lost, without using every means in oul
power for his reformation.

Express to purchase largely. We find
that kind of rats who publish legal adver-
tiSements for less than the regular price,
and pretend to charge dollar and a-hali
for their paper, whereas it can be proven
that they send papers regularly to SUBJ

Progress of the Scheme.

When the Democratic party repealed
the Missouri Compromise, and laid the
I plan for the Africanization Of all the ma
tional territory, the great mass Of the
people, and even public men, were entire
ly ignorant oil the desperate means TO
which the slave power would resort, in
order to attain success. When the bal
lot box was stuffed by rufians from Mis-.
souri,, and men were driven from their
homes, and their property destroyed, be-
cause they had the audacty to oppose
this scheme for the ensavement of the
national domain, the Democratic press
from one end Of the nation to the other,
denied the truth Of these outrages, and
by ialsehood, deceived enough Democrats
In two or three free States, 10 cause the
election of James Buchanan 10 the Pres.
idency. The only question in the free
States upon which the party relied for
success. was popular sovereignty. Many
honest Democrats relied upon the prom
ise that the question ofslavery was to be
- like all others, by the will of the
ty? Many Republicans, as we'll as
nocrats, knowing that vast majority
the people Of Kansas were opposed to
slavery, supposed, as a matter of course,
It would come into the Union as a free
State. When the Lecompton vllainy
4 was voted down n the House on the first
4 Of April, 1868, every one supposed it
7 was dead. To-day, slavery is as firmly
established in Kansas as it is in South
Carolina, if Judge Taney and James Blu
chanan are to be believed. The plan for
forcing slave constitution upon the peO
y. pie, is not abandoned, and will not be.
On last Friday, by vote of 1903 10 1916,
Mr.. English's plan for admission was
postponed until the second Monday in
May, when this question will again come
up. 1t has not fully transpired, what
the plan Of Mr.. English really is. but it is
4 enough TO know that il had the sanction
OfGreen and Stephens.
We know that this question has been
discussed until the people have become
y tired of II, and until it has absorbed ev.
cry other question; but it is the great
question oI freedom or slavery, not only
Il for the present but for the future; and
Ihe people ought not for one moment to
rellx their vigilance until the question
is settled one way or the other.
We will keep our readers fully advised
as this scheme progresses. We hope il
may be finally defeated, but have fears

TThe la 10 Thomas H. Benton was,
in some respects, rough, uncutivated
man, but he possessed many virtues OF
the highest order. He was a devoted
husband and a kind father. For some
years before her death, his wife was an
invalid, and his kindness and attention
to her were an honor to human nature.
From the time his wife lost her health,
until his death, he was never known to
visit any place of amusement. He was
also an incorruptible statesman, and al,
though he was in Congress thirty-two
years, he died poor. No one would have
dared to approach him with bribe. He
was no doubt often wrong in his political
views, but his most bitter enemies never
doubted that he acted from the honest
convictions of his heart. Would to GOD
that we had more such men in public
life.

With such ripcned hue,
Like the color OF the tulip.

Songs that seemed 10 toll Of love
And a glory flashed about me.
From the earth and from above.

And the sparkle of her eye
Was like star of silver,
Set in sunny sky.
And the leaves that lightly fluttered
Seemed to whisper OF her worth
That an angel had left Heaven,
To twinkle OH the earth.
Blossoms dropped as though TO kiss her
For they seemed to know her charms;
And The woodbnrs, rich with honey,
All fell blushing IN her arms
