RULING PAssIoS.-We have often
heard Of the ruling passion strong in
death; and here have letter from a
friend in Rhode Island that gives us an
example Of the same principle, not in
death but in debt:
The now retired John B, once
senior partner Of the respectable firm
Of B & Co., during his business
e>,.r~. feeee,a.e e-enough TO -vii
quite an amount to one Jones, on time
Of course. Now Jones was all exceed
ingly polite man; III fact, rs it after
wards proved, that weakness was about
the only capital he ever did have.
Shortly after the purchase Jones fail
ed, IN the direct sense Of the term, show
ing nothing to satisfy his. creditors,
among whom was NJ. B aforesaid.
Notwithstanding Jones' misfortune, he
continued the use Of his favorite weap-
on, saluting Mr. B, as often as they
met, with ali the airs of Brummel.-
When Mr. b could endure this no
longer, he met Jones one day, and. ..tal1-
ing him bv the button-hole, he said:
''Mt. Jones, you owe me large sum
and your p0litenaSs annoys me. Walk
into ny store and will give you re-
cclpt il full, Oh conditions that You will
never speak to me- again."
Imagine 3 - 5 surprise when Jones
StrUci, up the old attitude, with hat ex-
tended IN he left hand, right hand on
his heart, saying:
"CoulQn't think Of it, H. B; I
wouldn't torego that pleasure for four
times the amountn'

Az ACCUSATION AND APoLoGY.-A
clergyman preached a sermon some
time ago, in well, it's no mat
ter where, and which one Of his audi
tors commended.
"Yes," said a gentleman to whom it
was mentioned, ''it was good sermon,
but he stole it"
This being told the preacher, he re-
sentea it, and called on the gentleman
to retract what he had said.
Il am not" replied the aggrcssor,
livery apt to retract ny words, but in
this instance viii; I said you had sto-
len the sermon; I find | was wrong
for on returning home and referring TO
the book where I thought it was taken,
[ found it still there -
Well, if tbs clerical thief never had
"a flea in his ear'' before, he certainly
got whopper then. Nothing abort
''apology" was heard Of afterwards. -
The better part of valor is discretion !.

Among the many glowing accounts
from the Peak, the following letter from

the Shelbyville Patriot, is altogether

section Hre constxntJ maiking their way to-
the free northwest. An energetic, intelligent
young man of the South finds himself in the
midst of depressed and stagnant state of
society ;; to remain he must succomb under
the influences that weigh down the rest of his
fellows. He removes to another section, where
mental activity is necessary and honorable,
where the omnipresent movement Of labor sets
all life in motion; where progress, advance
ment and intelligence are in the ascendent.
And if he is not turned from the truth by false
notions ofhereditary constancy to wrong ; by
the fact that his ancestors were once the for
tunate possessors of human chattel if he
thinks for himself, and if he regards the well
fare of his race, he will be found as many of
the South's most intelligent men are found, in
the ranks Of the Republican party.
Laboring men Of the old world You are
many of you at the foot Of the ladder which
all mankind are compelled to climb; you
are clanlbering the rounds which the over
throw of the old worlds aristocratic notions
has left open to you. Which party will help
you up? That which stands committed to
the cause of the South and slavery, that which
would reduce and has reduced labor to the
degradation of bondage, which presents to il
no destiny but shame and humiliation? Oh
that other party, which with no dark record
in the past, with no principles but those which
the Declaration Of Independence has set forth
with Equality, Liberty, Humanity, for al
Men, strives, by doing unalterable justice t.
the black, to advance the dignity and promot
the welfare of the white race?

1t was great loss to- the Society and to
this place but is only another illustration Of
of the futility of using violence to correct
abuses. Oshkosh was recently burned down,

The Kansas Constitutional Convention.

We learn from source entitled to the
fullest credence that the late election for Del
egates to the Kansas Constitutional Conven-
ton was conducted on a plan hardly inferior
in point of open daylight swindling to the
candle box affair of October, 1857 the re-
turns of which are still playing hide and seek
in the breeches pocket Of John Calhoun
Sam Medary, Governor Of Kansas, is employ
ed by the Democratic party to carry Terri
tories" Long experienced and famous In the
art of colonizing the State Of Ohio, whenever
the eXgencies of his party required MAORI
ty in the Legislature, his qualifications for the
Office of Governor of Minnesota in 1857,
where Iwe United States Senators were pend
ing on the result 81 the first State election,
were undisputed. He went to that Terrific
ry, and by dint of filling up doubtful counties
with wild Irish, putting the Winnebagoes and
half the savage tribes of the back woods
through the voting process, perpetratlng the
Pembina fraud, etc, he succeeding in sending
Rice and Shields to the Senate and giving Sib-
ley the gubernatorial chair.
After this display Of sagacity jim cheating,
he was selected as. the fittest successor OF
Calhoun in Kansas, and dispatched to that
Territory with instructions to carry the first
elections prior to the formation of State
government, at all hazards. This he promis-
ed to do for certain amount Of money to be
expended in the transportation Of voters
The money was raised and paid in Washing
ton, and the Governor expended it faithfully
and judicously. Three days before the cleo
ton, six or seven hundred Irishmen were put
through the swearing process in teayenworth
and Doniphan counties, and took out applica.
tons for naturalization. Not satisfied with
this, acquisitions were made on Kansas City
and St. Joseph, No.. and hundreds Of voters
were landed on the day of election at Leaven-
worth and other points on the river, who
marched straight to the polls and deposited
b llots for tie pro-slavery delegates. Arrange.
ments had been made ip this way to secure a
majority of the Convention, but the Republi
can vote upset all their calculations Atchi.
son County, which Medary calculated upon
without fail, elected the entire Republican
ticket, and johnson, Lykins, and Bourbon
which were supposed to be safe beyond ques
ton, gave only divided delegation.
The Convention is secured to the Republi
cans, as we learn, by at least secen majority
and its first business will be TO look into th'
election and qualifications Of its own mem

Our shakopee correspondence.

OATURDAf, July 1csn3 hoo'' |
tn the Editors ofthe Minnesotaan: e.1.. ...
The Scott County Republican Convention
met here this afternoon, and appointed j. F.
Baldwin, of Belle PLANE, J. A. Ashley, Of
Louisville, B. F. Davis, of Shakopee, and Ham
ilton Clarke, of Eagle Greek, Delegates to the
State Convention, at St. Paul. These are men
we'll known, tried and true, and in whose
Judgment we are willing to confide.
Tonight the Shakopee Rife Guard have
their first drill Twenty-six names are on
the list, although but little effort has been
made as yet to get long list.
Last Monday evening, committee appoint
ed by the Scott and Carver County Agricul-
tural Society, met and made arrangements to
hold a Market Fair" here on the first Mon
day in each month.
This is is new thing in this country, and
is started at the suggestion of some OF our
German citizens who are familiar with it from
experience in the old country. Every one
who wishes to sell stock, grain, seeds, or pro-
duce of any kind, agricultural implements,
&C., is invited to bring it it. Buyers will do
| well to be on hand 1t will also afford an OPP
portunity for farmers to have conference
meetings" among themselves, to exchange
seeds, improve their stock, and many other
benefits q too numerous to Mention In
short we anticipate as great agricultural re-
suits from each of these monthly fairs as we
usually see from annual fairs, besides the
profit to the farmers of the market.
Your correspondent -. D: speaks of the
sheet iron doors to the cells of our prospective
dunqeon. They are not yet on, and it Is to
be hoped they never will be for the purpose
originally designed. The walls of this build
ing have been standing for nearly two years
without being enclosed, This however is not
from want Of enterprise on the part Of either
county officers or citizens, but is owing to the
determined resistance of Judge Chatfeld, and
others, who were disappointed In getting
f Belle Plaine made county seat, and now
show their amiable feelings by trying to pre-
vent shakopee from having that honor. The
bubble they raise is that the lang on which
the building stands has not been decided t.
, the County. The "block" is marked on thu
e original recorded plat, "Public Square. ~
The genera: understanding among the citizens
e and of the original proprietors, '.aS Away
e been that it was for the Court House. Tn
statute says that any lot marked or reserved
n for any purpose, or person, on the recorded
:. plat, shall be the same as if a warrantee dec
: was given. So you sec how we ere kept bac
: by a little local jealousy. By the way,
q County officer informed me recently hatJudg
Chaifield, ti,e i.-al end trent If tiic "ppus
5, ton, has never paid tax in the County.
J. Yours respectfully, ".
g P. s. neglected to say, that the citizen
s of shakopcc had raised a subscription to co,
d er ti,e Court House, and fit up the Cou1
Room, but have moi been able to proceed, ft
a want of cooperation of the County Beard.

AS to the second paragraph, the kidnapping
of white children and the carrying OF then
into slavery, do not know that can furnish
precise proof of the fact. appeal, however
to the general intelligence of the reading pub
