MR.. LovEJoY ON SLAVERY.

The Hon. and Rev. OWEN LovEJoy, of
Illinois, mounted the Clerks rostrum in the
House of Representatives the other day, and
with loud, ringing voice, declamed, among
other resounding things. the following:
The demon of slaveiy has come forth from
the tombs. Il has grown bold and defiant
aud impudent. Il has left its lair, lifted its
shameless front tow ards the skies, and, with
horrid contortions and gyrations, mouths the
heavens, and mutters its bias phemies about
having the sanction of holy and just COD;
lodges behind :he national compact, land grins
and chatters out its seniie peurilites about
constitutional sanction; and then, like
very fanta site ape, jumps upon the bench,
puts on ermine and wig, and pronounces the
dictum that a certain class of human beings
have no rights which another certain class
are bound to regard; and then it claims the
the right to stalk a5road through the length
and bre adth OF the land, robbing the poor free
laborer of his heritage, trampling on congress
sonal prohibitations, crushing out beneath
its tread Stae sovereignty and State consti-
tutions. 1t claims the right to polute the
| Territories with its Shiny footsteps, and then
makes its way to the very home of freedom
in the free States, carried there on consti-
tutional pallanqun manufactured and borne
aloft on the one side by Democratic Exc
cutive, and on the other by Democratic Jes-
uit Judge! Itclnims the right to annihilate
/ free schools-for this its very presence
acheves-the hamper free press to defle
the pulpit, to corrupt religion, and to stihe
! free thought and free speech! 1t claims the
| right TO convert the fruitful field into a will
dcrness so that forests shall grow up around
grave yards, and the populous village become
] a habit alton for owls. 1t claims the right to
transfer m the free Iaborer, by process of
| imperce ptable degradation, TO a condition
only not worse than that of the slave. Yes
sir, while the border ruffians are striving, by
! alternate violence and fraud, to force slavery
/ into Kansas, the President and Chief Justic,
by new, unheard of, and most unwarrenta-
BILE interpretations of the Constitution, are
endeavoring to enthrone nationalze slavery
! and make it the dominant power in the land:
and are calling upon the people, in the name
of Dem ocracy, to crowd up tot he temple
gates of this demon worship! And all this
upon the false, atrocious, and impious aver
ment, that human beings are properly -
Again we meet this doctrone and spurn it.

for pretended rebellion, which, as far as

Po,.ovatomie Indians.

The LeayenW0fth deTdd says
A report has obtained very general cir
culation, that delegation OF Pottowat-
tonnes. had gone on to Washington for
the purpose of selling all that portion of
their lands South of the Kansas river
This we are assured by the agent is untrue.
The Indians on both sides of the river,
are bitterly opposed to selling any por-
ton of their lands, and have so decided IN
their council. A partial delegation has
gone on to Washington TO get allowed
some back claims. They have not gone
with any intention nor have they any
nower to treat away any of their lands.
An persons who settle upon any of their
lands with the expectation that they are
TO be sold will be considered as intruders,
and measures will be taken forthwith to
drive them off.

ment.
On or about the 1st Of October l shall take

ject is TO sell at wholesale at precisely the same
as the Ieayenworth wholesale stores, with the
addition of freight from Leayenworth here.
This will enable the distant settlers to obtain

that it looks, as the Democratic party
always has looked, with adherence on
the old Federal Party which held as its
cardinal principle, that the representa-

perlor to the people themselves that the
convention which not long since met at
Lecompton assumed such atithoritg and
re-lnangurated such a doctrine; that, al
though, happily, but an Insignificant por-

Endorses such doctrine, yet it is with alarm
that this convention sees it indorsed to a
degree inthe country at large, in the high
places of the land, in the Congress of the
United States and even in the Pfesiden-
tial Chair that, adhering to the old faith
and following the old lights, it can not but
repudiate and frown upon 1t; that 1t is
the duty of the Democracy everywhere

proportions that it calls upon the repre-
