EFFECTS OF THE ErroRrs TO ESsLAvE KAN
sAs.-The ProSlavery party some four years
since entered upon the business of making
Slave State out Of territory covered by the Mis-.
souri, Compromise. The Albany Evening Jour-
nal thus justly and forcioly states the net result.
SO far, OF this experiment:
"The effort to enelave Kansas has demoral-
lied two Administrations. 1t has driven three
Kansas Democratic Governors into the Repub.
lican Party. 1t has given the seats of fifteen
Democratic United States Senators to as many
Black Republicans" 1t has spread the Re-
publican Banner, in triumph over nearly every
Free State. And it will, if, like the Bourbons,
The Democracy neither 'learns" wisdom nor
'iorgets" folly, give Republican President in
1860"
The Anamosa Eureka says that notwithstand- |
ng the fact that there are already nine regular |
members Of the legal profession in that place,
md two or three students undergoing the ''har-
iening process" the citizens are generally up
light and honest! Miraculous preservation!
JUDICIAL DIGNIry.-A queer judicial pro-
eeding has lately come of in Florida. Judge
carson, one OF the Associate Justices of the
supreme Court of Florida, was absent at q late
ession of the Court in Tallahassee, and we un.
erstand that Chief Justice BaItzen issued
'rt and placed it in the hands Of the Sheriff,
Erecting him to proceed to the residence of
ustice Pearson, arrest him and bring him be-
ore the Chief Justice. The Sheriff obeyed in
tructions-went to Judge Pearson, told him
is business, whereupon Judge Pearson very
uietly told him he could order him to prison
,r contempt, but would not do so under the
and requested him to tell Chief
ustice Batzell he would come to Tallahassee
his convenience. We should be glad to hear
lore of this novel proceeding Macon Tele-
