The Long Agony Over.

BURNS VOTING WITH THE South. =
We always looked upon JOSEPH BURNS,
the member of Congress from this District,
as willing instrument in the hands of the
South, to extend the accursed institution of
Slavery over Free Territory. We have not
been deceived. From first to the last
he has voted with the South. He has
made many promises that when the Kan
sas question came up "naked," or "bare-
footed" to use his own classic terms, }
then he would vote right. With these
promises lie has deceived some, not u.s.
We predicted all along that BURNS WIS
just as certain for Lecompton, as HAM
MoND of South Carolina. So it has result
ed. He has violated the promises he made
before the election. He has proved false
to his solemn protestations since, both in
and out of Congress. He has fulfilled the
expectations of has enemies, in trucking to
the Slave power. He and MILLER were
the only two members from this State, that
were willing to stoop SO low, to forget du-
ty to themselves and their country-to for
get their pledges given to those that
elected them-and to prostrate themselves
before the car of Slavery. Verify, the SIAN
derers Of WILLIAM r. SApp, have their re-
ward.

Length of a Kansas Governor
Reign.

The Locofoco Free Soil Governors of
Kansas ARE short-lived race of ofice-hol-
ders-not even kept in Office by the ..cohe-
sive power of public plunder," the power
that first installed them.
GOVERNOR No. IA. II. Reeder, an
Abolitionist, reached Kansas October 6il,.
1855, and was removed July 18th, 1856,
for carrying out the principles of a majority
of his party-term of service ten months.
GOVERNOR No. Wilson Shannon,
an Ohio Abolitionisi, reached Kansas in
due lime after his appointment, and was
removed in August thereaftsr-term of
service thirteen months.
GOVERNOR No. 3.-John W. Geary,
Pennsylvania Black Republican Democrat,
reached Kansas in September, 1856, and
was removed for being Free Soiler, in
March, l657-term of service seven months.
GovERNoR No. Robert ]. Walker
consistent Free Soiler, reached Kansas
May, 1857, and was required to resign in
December of the same year, for doing pre-
cisely what he stipulated to do. Term Of
service seven months and holt.
GOVERNOR No. 5-The celebrated Daa-
ger, reached Kansas, in December, 1857,
and is still in Office, his term of servics
having been about three months. This
man was promoted for having killed the
editor of the Aha Californian in duel
growing partly out of the slavery question.
The three first Governors of Kansas, &C
quired notoriety by KILLING themselves of
politically. The fourth has acquired his
notoriety by killing off Buchanan. The
fifth will acquire his chief notorisly by BE-
ing killed in conflict with the dominant
party, composed ofthe odds and ends of all
the Democratic factions in the land.-Tsn,

An IRISH ExoDus.-One of the signs of
the times is the palpable falling away of
the Irish throughout the country from the
party of the Administration. This is pre-
ceptible especially in the city of New York
where the Irish Brigade has long been GEL
ebrated for its adherence to the regular
nominations, the party usages; and whose
numbers and steadiness under all circum-
stances have been the very soul and foun-
dation of that supremacy which the democ-
racy have so long enjoyed. So palpable,
however,is the wrong committed in Kansas,
that even the Irish are no longer willing
to stand before the world as parties to the
proceeding; and regiment after regiment"
that helped year ago last fall to roll up
the twenty thousand majority for Buchan-
an and Breckenridge, are going over TO the
standard of the Douglas.

~ There has been disposition to re-
gard the story published in the N. o. Delta,
of the opening of the Slave trade between
Africa and Mississippi, as a "hoax." South
eru gentlemen at Washington have pro-
nounced the Delta's Slave trade article "a
capital hoax" Perhaps Senator Ham
mond's White Slave speech is hoax also.
But, whatever it is, here is more from the
same source, of the same sort. A late
number of the Delta contains the following /:
The Work GOES ON.-There was a
rumor in town on Saturday that one hun
dred and fifty Africans, just imported, had
gone up Pearl river. We also hear of an
offer to land cargoes on any part of the
Mississippi coast. This importaing is hard
ly fair; let Mississippi pass Hughes bill,
and Louisiana pass Taylor's bill, SO that
rich and poor will have an equal chance 10
procure labor.

a- The Southern napers are greedy t,

H The Southern papers are greedy to
swallow Mexico whole. The N. o. Delta
says of the South Western land ofpromise !:
Its soil is peculiarly adapted to Slave La
Dor, and Slave Labor would bring out those
inexhaustible riches with which benefcent
Providepce has endowed the land. The
presence of race SO indomitable as ours,
and the existence of an institution such as
lies at the root of the prosperity Of the
South, would make that land, now for the
most part wild and uncultivated, one of the
most fruitful underneath the eye of Om-
Impotence.
In order to people Mexico with slaves,
of course the slave trade must be opened,
and at least couple of millions Of the Af-
rican barbarians added to our colored popu-
lation. The future is deep and wide.

DOinss of Court.

The Court of Common Pleas for this
county, adjourned last Saturday. Except
the trial of BRowN BARcus, charged with
burning the Warehouse of JAWS CLEMENT,
last fall, there were no cases before it, that
attracted much attention. In this case,
the Jury failed to agree.
HENRY BEv1KeroE and GEORGE FRA-
Sci, having plead guilty to Horse Stealing,
received their sentence. The first to six
and the other to three years, in the Peni-
tentiary.

Reading ont Of the Party.

The order Of the day now is, 10 read out
of the harmonious National Democratic
party" all Who object to any measure Of
Buchanan's administration, or find fault
with the official acts of any graceless scoun-
drel in its employ! Men who have grown
gray in the Democratic ranks-men who
have defended the principles of that species
OF Democracy inaugurated by Gen. Jack
son, Polk and others-men who have stood
firm amidst the fercest assaults Of the old
Wing organization-men who have borne
aloft the banner of true Democracy and
cheered on the faltering in the days of trial
and adversity-are now, upon mere diff
ference ofopinion about Kansas, or a refusal
to knock under to a traitorous Wing or
Know Nothing, who joined Democracy for
the sake of the loayes and fishes, read out
of the party, and ordered to 60 over to the
"odds and ends of all parties" Although
thrift may follow fawning, the time will
lome-at the distant day of 1860, when
the 'arty falsely claiming to be the Demo
cratic PARTY will want all their men back,
and when they will te appealed to, to re-
turn to their first love. The honest people
of all parties are getting to see, that the
Administration of Buchanan is a swindle,
that it is. "a fraud upon the country, aye, o
bold robbery of the peoples rights, an out
rage gross and palpable, and its death-knell
will be rang in the ears of the civilized
world, in 1860!

THE FuTURE OF DOUGLAS. = Though
utterly opposed to Senator Douglas, as we
always have been, we feel very certain that
his policy will be triumphant in the Dem
ocratic party. The entire West ard North
west, are enthusiastic in his support, and
the New England States will be equally
open and emphatic in their support of him,
the moment executive patronage and off
cial dictation are removed, which will ex-
pire with the last years reign of Buchanan.
Already many prominent men are coming
out for Douglas in the Southern and Mid
die States.

symptoms are thus described by the Troy

The patient is attacked with whatat
first resembles an ordinary influenza, ac-
companicd by those general indications
Of physical weakness and lassitude that
follow severe cold. This feature Of the
case soon disappears, and is followed by
a glandular swelling. acute Inflammation,
and excessive soreness In some cases
the final appearances arc strikingly iden-
teal with those Of black tongue or 'pu-
trd sore-throat' Suppuration takes
place, and the gatherings become very
extensive before the fatal result super
yenes An Albany physician says thot
the true technical name Of the disease is
dipthcritis, pellicular, Or psuodo-mem-
branous inflammation Of the throat But
a prominent physician In Troy, where
the same disease has prevailed, thinks it
is a type Of the malignant crysipclas,
which prevailed extensively in Western
New York some years ago, and proved
exceedingly fatal in is results, until ply
sicians had familiarizod themselves with
it."
