Large Underground Arrival.

The underground railroad principal branch
Of which runs through this city, is doing thriv-
ing business. Yesterday morning cargo of
live freight consisting of twenty six "chattels,"
all the way from Missouri, arrived here, and
were solely landed in Canada. Their conduc-
tor was gentleman we'll known to most of our
readers for his exploits in Kansas, and his con.
nection with certain exciting events in Missouri.
They were taken through Nebraska, Iowa and
Illinois, to Chicago, and then to Detroit. The
gentleman who escorted the procession to this
city had about fifty thousand dollars worth Of
property stolen from him, or destroyed, in Kan
sas, by the border ruffians, and he is now prac-
ticing the law of retaliation upon his punder-
ers. He informs US that perfect panic has
seized the slave-h holders of Missouri. and that
they are hurrying the slaves down south by the
hundreds. Between the stampede south and
their escape into Kansas, he says Missouri is to
be free state much sooner than the most san
guine have hoped Several border counties
have already been almost entirely depopuated
of slaves, and still the "irrepressible conflict"
is going on.-Detroit advertiser.
The above specimen Of republican boasting,
which originally appeared in the Detroit A,lver-
tiSer, we find copied, without any mark of dis
appreciation, into nearly all OF our Republican
exchanges. We refer to the matter merely to
show how admirably the theory and practice of
the so-called republicans agree. To hear them
talk, any one who believes word they say
would suppose that they are the last people in
The world to allow themselves to meddle with
slavery in tie states aOhere 1t exists To be sure,
they are opposed to slavery-they believe it to
be "the sum of all vilainles'- ARE opposed to
its extension into the territories--wish that all
the democrats, especially James Buchanan,
were in the lowest depths of perdition, and all
that; but when they come to act, nothing is
visible but their downright and unden,able
hypocrisy
Look at it! We belong to a confederation OF
of independent states, who have the acknowl-
edged right to manage their own affairs in
their own way.' These states are united by
common interests and hy common dangers, and
their prosperity, to say nothing Of their safety,
depends upon the cultivation of kind and gen
erous feelings, and upon a due respect for the
rights of each member of the confederacy. But
here at the north we have men who, while pre-
tending to be the friends. Of their country, are
engaged in stealing the servants of the people o
other states, and running them off on what they
call their underground railroad And what is
worse, we have among US on this side Of GER.
tain imaginary line, class Of public journals
very respectable in their way, which not only
openly and unbushingly avow their approval o
that kind Of robbery, but glory in the shame
OF being concerned in it! And this is rep ubli
can consistency. This is opposition patriotism
This, o ye people, is the theory, and this the
practice Of those who armed the bandits al
Harper's Ferry, and are now pleading for the
safe deiverance of poor old Brown.
