The Republicans of Kansas.

The Republican Convention at Ossowa.
tonic, Kansas, on the second day of its
sitting (May l9tb) agreed upon pream-
ble and resolutions, which they have put
forth as the platform of their party in
Kansas. 1t conforms generally to the
principles proclaimed BY the last National
Republican Convention, and in reference
to slavery says:
Reso1oed, That while we declare our
submission to the Constitution and laws
of the United States, and disclsim all
control over slavery 10 the States 10 which
it exists, We hold that the Constitution
does not carry Slavery into the Torrito-
ries, but that it is the creature Of special
enactment, and has existence only where
supported BY it, and We reprobate and
condemn the perversion of the Supreme
Court of the United States to sectional
demands and party purposes.
Resoloed, That freedom is national, and
slavery sectional, and that We are inAexi-
bly, opposed to tue extension of slavery to
soil now free.
Horace Greeley, among others, address
ed the Convention, in a speech Of great
power and earuestness. On his return
from the Convention, he was met two
miles south Of Lawrence BY the authori-
ties Of the latter city, and . cavslcade,
each horseman wearing 10 his hat band a
copy Of the N. 7. Tribune, neatly folded.
He was escorted to the Eldridge House,
in Lawrence, where he addressed the peo.
pie about an hour. There are now but
two parties in Kansas-The Republicans
and the Democrats. The latter are put.
ting forth every effort to regain their
footing.

MUNGO PARK'I MOSS.

Mungo Park was robbed by banditti on
the 25th of August, 1896, when on his road
from Kooma to Sibdidoolo, and was strip
ped of everything. "After they were
gone," he says, sat for some time look
ing around me with amazement and terror;
whichever way turned, nothing appeared
but danger and difficulty. l saw myself
in the midst of vast wilderness, in the
depth of a rainy season, naked and alone,
surrounded by savage animals and men
still more savage. | was FIVE hundred
miles from the nearest European settle

once on my recollection, and l confess that
my spirits began to fail me- 1 considered
my fate as certain, and that / had no alter
native but to lie down and perish. The
influence of religion, however, aided and
supported me. l reflected that no human
prudence or foresight could possibly have
averted my present sufferings. l was
indeed a stranger in a strange land, yet |
was still under the protecting eye of that
Providence who has condescended to call
himself the Strangers Friend. AT this mo-
ment, painful as my reflections were, the

THE WORLD TO COME.

If all our hopes and all our fears
Were prisoned in ife's narrow bound
If travellers through this vale of tears
We saw no better world beyond;
oh what could check the rising sigh!
What earthly thing could pleasure give?
Oh who would venture then to die?
Or who could then endure to liyey
Were life dark and desert moor,
Where mists and clouds eternal spread
Their gloomy veil behind, before,
And tempests thunder over head
Where not sunbeam breaks the gloom,
And not fow'ret smiles beneath
Who could exist in such tomb
Who dwell in darkness and in death
And such were life, without the ray
From our divine religion given;
It's this that makes our darkness day
It's this that makes our earth heaven
Bright is the golden sun above,
And beautiful the flowers that bloom,
Aud all is JOY and all is love,
Reflected from the world to come

From the Central Christian Advocate
DOMESIC SLAVE-TRADE.

One of the mightiest revolutions of mod
ern times is going on in Missouri. Silent
ly, but yet rapidly, slavery is making her
exit from this Empire State. Upward of
FIVE thousand have been sent South during
the past year Like all revolutions of a
political and social character, parties are
called to experience a great deal of suffer-
ing. While we cannot but rejoice at the
prospect of Missouri being free, yet at the
same time we deeply sympathize with the
poor slave, exiled from his native home, and
called to cut asunder the most sacred ties
of humanity.
A few days since, one of those monsters
in human shape, a slave-dealer, visited one
of our neighboring cities Among other
purchases, he bought poor woman who
had husband and some children. She
entreated with all the eloquence of wife
and mother, for this dealer in human
flesh to buy the whole family; but her
tears and her prayers were in vain. The
period arrived when she had to be torn
away from her family. Frantic with grief
she wrung her hands and tore her hair In
order to pacify her, her new master told
her that one of the children should go with
her. This promise had the effect of re-
conciling her in some degree to her hard
fate; but when she arrived at the shipping
place, her child was ruthlessly torn from
her. Deception had been practiced upon
her to abstract her as peaceably as possible
from her home and the other members of
the family. You, mothers, reflect upon
this case, and it is only one of large
number constantly occurring in the border
States. Can you, without remonstrance
and the exercise Of your powerful influence
in the social circle and your households,
permit your husbands and sons to MAIN
tain, either directly or indirectly, such
system of cruelty? How would you feel
to be robbed of your husbands and chill
dren7 Whatever may be the frailties and
failings of the negro intellectually and
morally, we are not aware that the want
of affection has ever been charged upon
them. Their domestic attachments are
deep and ardent, and are not to be sur
passed by the whitest of skins or the most
refined of education.

den African race, there would be brought
into operation one of the most powerful of
subordinate instrumentalities.
Another painful instance of suffering
arising from the change to which we have
adverted came under our notice the other
day.
There is slave pen just opposite our
office window. Why we should be located
in such close proximity to such an institu-
ton is somewhat of mystery to us. Per-
haps, in the order of Providence, it has
been designed to increase our deeply-root-
ed opposition to the whitening, blighting,
aceursed system Such, however, is the
fact of the location and proximity to this
dark den, the fitting type of eternal hope
iessness and despair. 1t would be impos-
sible to give any adequate conception of
the feelings we were called to experience
when looking out of our Office window we
saw gang of these poor wretches assem-

She lifted up her bright young eyes,
With soft and pleasing smile;

ing, and at the same time we are prepared
to submit to it, with the certain prospect
of getting rid of the deadly curse in these

low me to despair l started up, and
disregarding both hunger and fatigue,

at hand; and l was not disappointed. In
short time I came to small village"
A pleasing poetic version of this nara
tive was given in the Scottish Christian
Herald" many years ago, by the amiable
and pious Robert Murray McCheyne:
Sad, faint, and weary on the sand
Our traveller sat him down his hand
Covered his burning head
Above, beneath, behind, around,
No resting for the eye he found
AL nature seemed as dead.
One tiny tuft of moss alone,
Manthng with freshest green a stone,
Fixed his delighted gaze;
Through bursting tears of joy he smiled,
His lips o'erhowed with praise,
"Oh shall not He who keeps thee green,
Here in the waste, unknown unseen,
Thy fellow exile save?
He who commands the dew to feed
Thy gentle flower can surely lead
Me from a scorching grave"
The Heaven-sent plant new hope nspird,
New COURAGE al his bosom fired
And bore him safe along,
TILL with the evenings cooling shade,
He slept within the verdant glade,
Lulled by the Negroes song:
Thus We in this wo,ld's wilderness,
Where sin and sorrow, guilt, distress,
Seem undisturbed to reign,
May faint because we feel alone,
With none to strike our favorite tone,
And join our homeward strain.
Yet often in the bleakest wild
Of this dark world, some Heaven born child,
Expectant of the skies,
Amid the low and vicious crowd
Or in the dwellings, of the proud,
Meets our admiring eyes.
From gazing on the tender flower,
We lift our eyes to Him whose power
Hath all its beauty given
Who, in this atmosphere of earth,
Hath given it life, and form, and breath,
And brilliant hues of Heaven.
Our dropping faith, revived by sight,
Anew her pinion plumes for flight
New hope distends the breast;
With joy we mount on eagles wing,
With holder tone our anthem sing,
And seek the pilgrims rest.

proceedings throughout Were Of deeply in

discussions entirely free from sectional or
party spirit. No previous Convention, il is
said, has proved So productive of good to the
future prospects Of the Episcopal Church,
especially in regard TO the progress of the mis-
sionary work. Five Bishops have been con-
secrated, three Of whom are to enter upon Do
ceses never before under Episcopal SUPER
vision. Two great Dioceses have been admit.
ted into union with the General Convention
and two Missionary Bishops elected. While
1t was thought inexpedient to elect. at present
Missionary Bishop for the Empire of .Japan.
the interests Of the Church in that country
have been placed under the supervision of the
