The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1858-02-04

The following is the coNcluding por-
ton Of the Presidents Message.
Every patriot in the country had indu-
ged in the hope that the Kansas Nrbras-
ka Act would put final end to the slave
ry agitation at least in Congress. which
had, ion more than 81 years, convu ulsed
the country and endangered tho Union.
fbis act involved great and fundamental
principles; and, if fairly carried into ef.
feet, will settle the question. Should the
agitation again be revived; should the
peope Of the sister States be again es'
,rayed from each other with more than
their former bitterness, this viii rise from
cause so far as Kansas is concerned,
more trt1ing anl insignificant than has
ever stirred the elements OF u great peo-
pie into mmolion.
h is moreover no uifline considera
ton, we shall then be en- ,brd to draw
the troops from Kansas and employ
them on n service much needed. They
have been kept there on the earnest op
portunity Of Gov. Walker. to maintain
the existence Of the territorial Govern
ment and secure the execution Of the
laws. He considered at least 5000 reg.
ular troops under command Of Harney
as necessary.
My public life will terminate within
brief period and | have no other object
Of earthly ambition than to leave my
country in peaceful and prosperous con.
dition, and to 1--we in the affections and
respect Of my countrymeu. The dark
and ominous clouds now impending over
the Union l conscientiously believe will
be dissipated with honor to every por.
ton of it, by the admission Of Kansas du-
ring the present session Of Congress;
whereas. sbould it be rejected, greatly
fear that these clouds will become dark
er and more om,nous than any that have
ever threatened the Constitution and the
Union.

On Thursday evening last, Ish came 10


On Thursday evening last, Ish came TO
town and procured quantity Of liquor
at drug store, where they keep bad
whskey for sale, and returned home
During the night it seems he had imbi.
bed pretty freely ofthe liquor, and on the
following morning hs returned to town
laboring under the effects Of his recent po'
tations' Not SO drunk, however, that he
could not navigate pretty well, with the
assistance Of a big bull dog at his heels.

breath to ascertain whether they were
drunk Or not, (ss he testified on the trial
filed an Information against the man,
and not against the dog, and at the trial,
connection with other members of the
fraternity, swore that they had seen the
man and the dog staggering about the
street, the man talking silly, and the dog
refusing to talk, and that they smelled
whiskey on their breath. Upon which
testimony they bound the ian over
The dog got clear. The man being
worthless, as matter Of course the coun-
~ will have to pay the costs. For some
time we were at a loss to know why these
disinterested philanthropists were SO
strenulously opposed to grocery keepers
selling liquor; and why they had express
sed their determination not to patronize
any grocery where spirtuous liquors were
sold. But the developments Of this case
have given US an eking Of their motives.
They wish to throw the whole Of the liq-
uor business into the hands OF their very
moral brother, the learned, wise and ju-
dicious pedagogue. their pious, christian
brother, who makes long prayers. and
when he prays, says, 20, Lord, may our
neighbors do unto Others as THEY woul
have Others do unto them," but o. Lord,
may 'Oe do as we please. He is the man
that is to sell the whiskey, and Of course
he won't know who are drunkards and
who are not, that wouldn't be policy

wants to get run Of business, is te pros
ecute the poor devils who drink the vile
stuff sold as wbiskey by brother No. /,
ard the old woman and little children
who have subscribed the stock are to pay
the lawyers fees, and the county the costs!
A beautiful scheme, indeed!
But these wise acres don't stop here
They are going to get up a new political
party-the Temperance party. and upon
this hobby at the next el,ction, their
la,cyers and few more Of the faithful are
going to side into Office, and then, having
attained all they desire they will turn

friends who come to town TO tr 'de, ifthey
chance to have a dog with them, and
should take a dram, to be very careful
about having their breath smeh 10 cert sin
and also careful not to-
stagger in walking the crossings. for they
may find themselves in the calaboose the
know. A word 10 the wise is sufficient

twn or three young balloons sat close be-

times with the most g. glotesque movement

triarch during the whole length Of his

KAFFIR WOMEN.
The frontier Kaffirs are fine athletic
men and stand generally about six feet
in height; they are nearly black, and
have woolly bair, although the features
are in many cases almost European. The
intondis' or young girls, are often quite
pretty, with wild, free, dark eyes, that
may well plead as excuses for the young
Kaffir's propensity for cattle stealing. the
decimal coinage Of Kaffirland being ten
cows to one wife. One very soon gels
over the prrjudices Of color, and after
having looked for some time upon the
rick black of Kaffir-belle white lady

The GOODNESS OF these women is often
surprising. A skrmish with the Kaffirs

A few days ago, a lady of fashionable ap-

value of nearly eIo0. When her purchases
We're completed, she stated that she had for
gotten TO bring her check book, and desired
/ that one Of the young men would accompany
her home with the GOODS when she would
hand him check for the amount. Not
liking TO. entrust the business to any of his
employees, the wary proprietor himself
stepped into the carriage with the lady. and
was rapidly driven To Peekhaul, where, at
a large and respectable looking house, they
/ ahghted, and the goods were taken in The
( lady then politely ushered the anxious and
wary Hnendraper into the drawing room,
desiring him to wait for brief moment,
until she fetched the check-book. The brief
| moment passed, and many more also, but the
lady did not make her appearance. Haitian
