bring up against them their own logic of
1850, about the ancient Missouri line,
about its being 'time-honored" and ''irre.
pealable,' "bond of peace for thirty
years." &C., &c. No use. They declared
it was all humbug; the Compromise was
only temporary makeshift, entirely re-
pealable like any other act of Congress,
and one that ought to be repealed-and,
in short, if it wasn't, out Of the Union
they would go, instanter. Congress, part
ly because it was scared by their threats,
partly because it was bought up by the
President, but principally because it be-
lieved in their reiterated declarations,
that this should really, truly and surely
be the end of the slavery dispute, the
ultima Thule of all their demands and de-
sires, at last consented. And so we re-
joiced in "Final Settlement" No. 6.
How final" it was--how thoroughly it
Settled" things-the records of events in
Kansas will tell-the invasions, ballot
stuffings, murders, robberies, false impris-
onments, forged returns, ruffian govern
ments, Congressional intrigues, Lecompton
swindles and English dodges And yet
there are those who have no longer mem
cries, and no further foresight, than to
think there might somehow be patched
up, out of "squatter sovereignty" or some
thing else, "Final Settlement" No. Z.
There is way, and only one way, to
settle the slavery question. 1t is to stop
making bargains with the slaveholders.-
All the agreements. about the future dis
position of the Territories that they will
make, is worse than worthless. While
we make bargains only because we believe
each will be the last, they make them
because they know each will be the STEP
ping stone to another. Just so long as
we keep making concessions, they will
keep making demands. But go back to
the old settlement, the first one and the
best one the one made by the farmers OF
the Union, confning slavery to the States
where it exists, and within the bounds
prescribed by the Constitution. That is
settlement that will last, and ensure
peace, and the only one that will.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. OCTOBER. .l6, 1858.

present state of Federal legislation, much,
if not all, must depend on the loyalty and
efficiency of the President of the United
States. He it is who appoints the Terri
torial executive and judiciary. 1t mil be
the province of this judiciary to protect
sldre property, as far as possible, under the
ldios of the Federal code for the protection Of
property generally, and it ,oill be the business
of tie Territorial executive to uphold and
enforce the authority Of the judiciary. It
will be the duty of the President to hold
both fuuctionaries to jealous perform
ance of their several offices. Hence, the
nert Democratic nominee for the Presidency
should be pledged to the protection Of slave
property in all tie Territories.
. And zoe go further. Il is very desirable
that CoRgress should pass additional latcs
for the protection Of slars property in the
Territories. This would not operate to
force slavery upon an unwilling people.
It would simply protect slave property
wherever it was actually found-it would
not prevent the prohibition of slavery
when people came to form State Con-
stitution; in short, it would secure every
constitutional right without arbitrarily
attempting to contravene climatory laws,
and would remove forever the discussion
of slavery from the halls of the Federal
Legislature.

Persons who are guilty of setting FIRE
to the prairies, says the Fort Scott Demo

to remember that, in addition to being
responsible for whatever, damage may
result to property of Others, they are also
liable TO heavy fine.
y Section 1st of the Act upon that sub
ject-to. be found on page 765, Vol. 1st
Of Statutes-makes the wilfnl firing Of
prairies, whereby damage is occasionsd TO
Others, punishable by fine Of not less than
fifty nor more than three hundred dol
iars. The willful firing, without loss to
Others, is Unable, not to exceed one hun
dred dollars. Section 3D. gives the par
,ty injured, his remedy in an action on
the case for satisfaction, for such loss Al
he may have suffered. Section 4th

Another whsslbarrow.Msu.

In 1849 or 80, some sprig of Young
America left this city for California, trans
porting all his outfit in a wheel barrow.
He got through safe, and made the trip
in much quicker time than most of the
OK trains. f.s.- s.. r.
On Wednesday last, Mr.. Alex. O. Nc
Grew, of Pittsburgh, Pa, left this city
for Pixies Peak-solitary and alone
taking his provisions, blankets, pick show
el, gun and ammunition in a wheel bar
row and we have not the slightest fear
but that he will be successful, and make
the trip in good time. When he left
Pittsburgh, he had just five cents in mon-
ey and no outfit save what raiment he
had on his back A company from that
city had left few days before him, and
it was his intention to overtake them and
60 in their company. -. -.
He, however, arrived here ahead of the
company, and being impatient to get on,
made arrangements to travel with COM
pany just ready to leave from Wyandott.
On the eve of their departure, however
the sheriff called upon them to audit
some few financial vouchers, he had in
his possession, which threw McGrew on
his own resources again.
Nothing daunted, he goes to Mr.. Geo.
E. Pitkin, hardware dealer in this city,
with whom he had been acquainted for
several years, and from Mr.. Pitkin gets
his wheelbarrow and outfit, bids his
friends "good bye" and starts on his pill
grimage of over six hundred miles through
an, uninhabited country. Between this
city and Westport, he was overtaken by
our fellow-citizen, j. G. Mccoy, ESQ.,,
who was then out6tting party for the
Peak, and admiring his zeal and ambition,
offered him place in his company, free
of charge. Ia.r .
Mr.. McGrew thanked him very heart
lily for his proffered kindness, adding that
he could not consistently accept the Of

that he might be delayed, and perhaps

o. A good one is told of worthy
deacon in the city of s, in Northern Ohio.
The deacon was the owner and overseer
of large pork packing establishment
His duty it was to stand at the head of
the scalding trough, watch in hand, to
''time" the length of the seald, crying
"Hog in e' when the just slaughtered hog
was to be thrown into the trough, and "Hog
out !" when the watch told three minutes.
One week the press of business compelled
the packers to unusually hard labor, and
Saturday night found the deacon COM
pletely exhausted. Indeed he was almost
sick the next morning when church time
came, but he was a leading member, and
it was his duty to attend the usual service
if he could. He went. The occasion
was one of unusus, solemnity, as q revival
was in progress. The minister preached
a sermon well calculated for effect. His
peroration was climax of great beauty.
Assuming the attitude of one intently
listening, he recitad to the breathless
auditory: es.ltl 7 s5 -

"Hog in !' came from the deacon's pew in
astentorisn voice. The astonished audi-
ence turned their attention from the
preacher. He went on, however, urf-

This was too much for the preacher and
audience. The latter smiled, some snick-
cred audibly, while few boys broke for
the door, to 'tspIit their sides" laughing
outside, within full hearing. The preach
er was disconnected entirely--sat down
rose again-pronounced brief benedic-
ton, and dismissed the anything else
than solemn-minded hearers. The dea-
con soon came to realizing sense Of his
unconscious interlude, for his brethren
reprimanded him severely; while s'the

Two Pictures
BY CLARENCE MELVIN.

Somebody's heart is gay,
And somebody heart is sad;
Fer lights shine out across the way,
And door with Grape is clad
Sadness and giadness alike
Are dwelling side by side;
Perhaps the death OF an early one,
And the eroHning of q bride.
Bright eyes are filled with mirth
Pale faces bend in prayer,
And hearts beside the household hearth
Are crushed by cold despair;
All SORROW and hope and Joy '
Are parted By thinnest walls -
But Oh the heart Of the thoughtless ones
No shadow Of sorroW falls!
No thoughts Of the funeral train
Come to the festive thropg;
No hope that the past will come again
To the anguished hearts belong;
The futures sunny sea
To the lovers Of JOY and mirth-
But the past alone to those who weep
For the parted tiesO earth.
Somebody's heart is gay,
And somebody's heart is sad
For the lights are bright across the way,
And a door with Grape is clad
Sadness and gladness alike
Enclose US on every hand
A wealth OF smiles and q food Of tears
With hope and sorrow allied.

in the direction of Third street, from
which he thought it sounded. The. night
being very dark, he did not observe the
deep cut in Third street, and not knowing
of its existence, very naturally walked
of, falling some fourteen feet breaking
his thigh. and cutting his face very badly.

Of course, the people of Territory,
when they frame their State Constitution,
may adopt or exclude slavery" but ,ohile
they are Territory, if they fail to protect
property invested in the person or indus
trial capacity of the negro, they grossly
violate equal rights, and therefore are not

If the Constitution confers upon slavery
the right to go there, Ito ths Territories,

The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-10-16

The right of property in slaves, in the
States, is now placed practically, as well
as legally, beyond the reach of Federal
legislative encroachment Z But in the
Territories the case is different Il is not
sufficient that the decision Of the Supreme
Court prevents Congress and all its dele
gates from the prohibition Of slavery in a
Territory. There mast Be positire lesissa-

exercise this power, and there is no power
