Slavery policy of the Administration de-
nouncing the attempts to enact a Con-

sr The Republican party OF K Karisas
formally organized on the lsth and 10Th

writes:
IA resident of Kansas recently received a
letter of inquiry from citizen of Massachu-
setts, in regard to his (the latters) absent wife.
The lady had left her lord and master some
months previous and he knew her to be now
resiGfng in Kansas with her relatives but he
wished to ascertain whether size passed by her

instittisd proceedings for a divorce. The

Investigated the matter, and few days since
informed the astonished husband that she is

reg Our readers will notice the adver-
tisement of the New York Weekly I'ft-
duae in another column. Mr.. GREEEEY's 8
first letstf from Kansas was published last
week. AS he is to be absent about four
months, the Mulatto Democrats editors
will please postpone the dissolution of
the Union until he comes back. 1t is
understood that he has gone to Utah to
coax Brigham Young to rebel against the
authority of the United States. His Wis
it to California and Oregon is to get those
two States to join with Mexico in war
against our GLORIOUS Contederacy" 1t
is rumored that on his recent trip through
Missouri he stole forty negroes in one day
and in the evening showed them the
North Star, thus "endangering the per-
petaity of our etcetera."
1t is reported that he dined in Law
renee with one hundred and twenty six
ex-Governors Of Kansas, and stated to
them in private conversation, that in about
another year there would be about as many
ex-Governors in Kansas as niggers. 1t is
we'll known that he was at the bottom d
the late Steamboat accident Oh the Mis-.
sissibpi, as the injured and the dead were
mostly Stockholders. He is also at the
bottom of the present European War.
The late fire in Williamsport was caused
by his having passed through that place
on the cars to Philadelphia two years ago.
The Democracy Of this county will pro.
badly be agitating the question whether
Fosters Mill did or did not burn down,
because GREELEY is coming here to speak
Dext Pail. A terrible fellow is Horace tG
the Mulatto- Democrats Tio9a 4gitator
That is " Koung-'un," the paternity
of which no one can mistake who reads
the papers. 1t is good hit at the par
oxysmal readiness of " mulatto" editors &c
blame Horace with everything evil that
occurs. We suggest that the recent de-
structive frost should be charged to his
account, too.

SD~ The Springfield Republican, itself
one of the most judiciously and tastefully
conducted papers in the United States,
remarks with much pertinancy and truth,
that
"There is a method, principle in
journalism that some of those who follow
it, and many of the reading public, find it
hard to understand, and still harder to
admit. The man acha sets up to print q
public newspaper has no right to control
its contents by hts personal prejudices or
has priuate tastes and she D,aa ,cho sub
scrjbes t0r aastt reads it has no right to
ask, and no reason to erpect, ttathe shall
find ia 1t only phat he soants to read and
1chat he can approue-notting to offend
has prgadices or shock has sensibi!ities."
Here, in few plain words, is defined
the true relationship an editor sustains to
his readers, and the readers towards the
public journal. We copy the Republi-
cans Interpretation of the subject because
it reflects opinions we have always enter
