the tendencies Of our political morals Who
does not see that this robbing with such inn
punity is in part the legitimate and natural
result Of the public proclamation Of Mr.. Blu
chanan, that it is right and proper to steal
Cuba. Three years ago. Mr.. Buchanan shock
ed and degraded the moral sense of the world
by publishing the Ostend Manifesto. And
his accession TO the Presidential chair was
the signal for a grand grab game-each good
democrat acting upon the principle Of Mr..
Buchanan, that because VIC want thing it is
right to steal IT, and through these years the
President has been laying plans to consumate
the villany. We use strong language, but
not stronger than is demanded, and now the
lobbios Of the capitol are filled with Presiden-
tial hirelings to accomplish, at the eleventh
hour before the sun of this pro-slavery, plum
dering party has set forever, this huge rob-
berry, and act Of bullysm! Where in view
of these facts, is our national morality
Where our integrity Of character; No plea
of British grasping at power and seizure of
India, or Perrin, will avail to extenuate our
crime. That morality which has for its stan
dard the sins Of another, is worthless.
Right-equity- with the inherent
principles of truth and Justice is the only
standard by which we are Judged IN time or
eternity. For the honor of our country, for
its well beng-for its continuance-for the
virtue of the human race, we hope that this
gigantic scheme for stealing Cuba will fail.
Look at it yo honest men, irrespective Of par
ty but citizens of a common country, as oiti
zens Of the world, as Christians. who love in
tegrity Of character, morality and virtue the
President would have you do that which if
done as individuals would, by your own courts
of Justice, send you to the penitentiary! An
indignant blush will mantle the cheek of hon
est men as they think of it. They will feel
that the morals of the nation have sadly de-
/ generated but that will not restore the lost
virtue. We fear that the worst has not come
but that the desire to commit robbery will
rpen into an attempt. and that the American
nation, whose name till now has been so fair,
will be looked upon as we in social life look
upon villain.

Kansas Gold Discoveries.
Mn. WAIroN, Dear Sir IL yesterday adj
dressed a letter 60 my father, wherein / took
occasion to speak somewhat at length con-
ccrning the gold discoveries lately made upon
the Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains,
and the excitement incident thereto that now
exists upon this border, and TO a great extent
throughout the country. The great mass Of
the people look to, and are dependent upon,
the columns of a newspaper for all the infor-
nation that they obtain, that creates new en-
tcrpriscs or opens new fields of adventure
The papers have already said enough to Gre
ate an excitement-it Is created and whether
there is any gold about Pixies Peak or not,
hundreds have already gone to search for it,.
and thousands of others will be on the march
in perhaps a few weeks.
Now. sir. ] am no advocate of great ex-
citoments either religious, political, govern
mental or commercial. do not believe in
them II is no way TO make christians, money
or States However. we well know that the
people love them, and must and will have
them, regardless of consequences. | make
these remarks that yourself and readers may
know that the writer has no desire to awaken
or even see this excitement 90 on. and who
ever reads what follows about the gold dis
coycries must not blame me if they get the
icver-it is catching from editors, letter-writ
ers, and every body who says anything about
it.
On the 26th of August last, the first news
paper article about these gold mines was writ
ten 1t appeared in the Journal of Commerce.

contained only brief statement Of facts as

during the excitement that follows we can
do the work we have on hand"
That tall, hairy-face gentleman, who
stands conversipg with Argus in the mid
die of the highway, is Mr.. Sly. They are
likely to be interrupted, for see that horse
man approaches. He is dressed in suit
of light gray cloth, ard wears purnella
CATERS, trimmed with patent leather. He
looks somewhat pale. He halts, and we
hear him speak to Mr.. Sly. The latter
gentleman introduces the horseman to
Argus. Argus inquiries:
swell Captain Corvus, is it true that
you and your boys went to Fort Scott, as
rumor proclaims, and broke up the session
of the Court there?''
II did not disturb the Court. We
were told that packed jury were in ses-
sion, who were finding bills of indictment
against Free State men. We went to
ascertain how it was. The Judge seemed
to be fairand disposed to abide by the CON-
promise. He told the jury to do as little
as possible. If that jury had done what
we heard they were doing, they would
have been hung jury. If they DOM
abide by the compromise, they know the
consequences. l am not going to hold
still to be skinned"
Corvus and Sly laugh, and the former
passes along.
"Well, Sly, it is said they are now doing
at Paris what it was supposed they were
doing at Fort Scott"
"Wen, if they do that, and indict Free
State men, the boys will attend to them
1 would go myself and help them break
up the Court. No, Argus, they must either
punish the other party or let Free State
men Alone"
70 be continued in our merit.

Do sorrows cares enshroud thee,
Like the pal Of night.
And darksome grief becloud thee.
Of Heavens best light?
Is heaven closed over thee,
And art thou cherries,
No earthly hope before thee,
To say, be fearless?
Does Loves faithful, earnest clasp
Come TO thee from none?
Has Woe caught thco in its grasp
And claimed thee its own?
Hast thou in wild anguish cried,
lam ruined, lost,
Ny inmost soul sorely tried.
Ny heart tempest tOss'd?
Does thy heart, once firm and brave,
FerveDtly implore,
Thou maJe approach the grave,
And rest evermore?
Then bid thy soul awaken,
God and man thy heart
Give, with pure purpose taken,
Acting well thy part.
Banish now all thy blindness.
And be thou heedful
To speak with heart-deep kindness
To man. the needful.
Try to soothe every sorrow
With which mans oppres'd.
Thou shalt not wait the morrow
Till thyself art bles'd.
Thou'll feel thy bosom swelling
With high, manly joy,
Its every heart-throb telling
Bliss with no alloy.

He is directed by the highest, greatest
official in the Territory, to go south and

Mr.. sly.H H/a<t<e7 f2,~s,>sfe~. /,
That gentleman is at home, and ex-
tends to the official a cordial welcome,

most hospitable among men.
The officer opens his business "Mr.

you, GthOnie."
"Very we'll; l am perfectly willing tc

BAN Of Southwestern Lodge.

The first Odd Fellows ball of the season-that Of
Southwestern Lodge No. 40-took place at Odd Eel
lows Hall on Thursday night. The weather was
wretchedly wet and muddy; but notwithstanding
this the ball was largely attended, almost crowded
the ladies being present in full force, many Of them
Disgusting their loneliness in mask and fancy costume
and proportionable number Of gentlemen initiating
their frocksome and coquettish example. as
Many Of the characters were well dressed and well
acted; and those who appeared in fashionable dress
contributed by their beauty and yivacity, with the
maskers to render the occasion poetic and pleasant
as midsummer nights dream. The members Of the
Lodge giving the ball appeared in full regalia, and
exerted themselves like real good Odd Fellows to rem
der the occasion delightful from first to last Their
success was triumphant; for they had their sweet
hearts, wives and sisters there with them-a seem.

the same two radiant young ladies, Zone now mar.

before; how he revived with charming married
lady in 1emon.colored barege; how numerically
he was quizzed by white domino, with gushing
black curs, whom he afterward, to his great delight

and what heartbreak it was to quit her how be

what merry reel that was, and what time be had

what little rest the musicians allowed, and what a

Mr.. DOUGLAS WILL GO BEFORE THE CHARLESTON
CONVENTION The Chicago Times, the home organ
Of Mr.. Douglas, and which always speaks by au-
thority, says
Mr.. Douglas will not ask nomination at the hands
of the Charleston Convention. If in that body his
friends should present his name and he be nominated
he will not feel at liberty to decline it if his friends
should not present his name, then the nominee of the
Convention will receive his support The use of his
name by any men or body ofmen, as candidate for
the Presidency or any other office independent of and
hostile to the nomination Of the Democratic party is
altogether unauthorized by Mr.. Douglas will never
receive his sanction and IS wholly to his
wishes and desires. We say this much with a full
knowledge of its truth and knowing that we express
in this particular his own sentiments. -

"The Father, or Family Feuds !" and the second
Raymond and Agnes, or the Bleeding Num-" 1t

the fire originated which spread such havoc among
those present. On the back Of the bill appears the
following inscription, bearing date, Richmond, 2lst

Warrington, England attempted to cross the line as
an engine was passing at a good speed The cat was
caught between the spokes Of the driving wheels and
whired round while the wheel traversed thirty yards

it, but the cat stared SO wildly that he dared not ap-
proach it. Two hours afterwards it was heard new

found to be uninured Its breast and face were GOV.
