Recall of Lord Napier,

The withdrawal of Lord Napier,
British Minister at Washington, it
has been pretty well ascertained,
was occasioned by his active sympa.
thy with Southern 4" re-eaters. -
He sought their society and adopted
their slang phrases, in regard to the
opponents of slavery, and was doing
everything in his power to compro-
mise his own government and place
her in a false position before the
world, in regard to the institution OF
slavery. Recent disclosures have
brought to light the fact, that the
Southern Disunionists have been
endeavoring to enlist the British
government in their behalf, 80 as to
secure her aid in caso they should
decide to try their hand at secession.
In 1851, it seems, a strong deputa-
ton of Southern Disunionists was in
London, seeking aid from Great
Britain. The government not only
refused most decidedly to give the
project any encouragement, but
communicated the purposes o: these
traitors to Mr.. Abbot Lawrence, the
American Minister, and they had to
return as they went.
The British government has thus
vindioated herself against charges
that she was disposed to encourage
dissension, with the object, ultimate
ly, OF causing dissolution Of the
Union. What shall we think OF that
portion Of the quasi citizens of oul
government, who, in plotting their
overthrow, have been seeking an al.
lance with her ancient enemys Yet
strange to say, this Insignificant fac.
ton have been controlling the Ut.
fairs Of this nation for years; and

Eighth Of inn uary Convention.

The Democratic 9Th of .Tanuary
Convention came off on Saturday
last, at Columbus. 1t was singu-
lar enough affair, il we may judge
from the speeches delivered on that
occasion. Mr.. Archibald, in his re-
marks on the "Union," said:
- "Abolitionisrn, hoxorer, sas n
great and u holy cause, and had 1t not fallen
into such unfortunate hanrts, would have prns

would not be considered AS such. With Cow

II would not have II slave To til my ground,
To fan me when sleep, and carry me- when
walk"
"Our first work is to put down this Black Re
publican party--to rescue tho doctrine of abo
ition from the hands into which II has fallen
and carry IL out ourselves. rhc welfare nj
the Union requires this. The wealth, prosper
ity. greatness and intelligence OF the states on
one side of the Ohio, and the poverty, ignur

Kansas Troubles.

AS we gave intimation before, .
dreadful bloody war has again bro!
ken out in Southern Kansas, caused
by Il repetition Of the tyranny that
has characterized the pro-slavery
party from the first. In order to put
a stop to the outrages committed in
the neighborhood Of Fort Scott, it
will be recollected that Gov. Den.
yer made visit, in person, to tho
disturbed district, and succeeded in
quieting the difficulties, by obtaining
the consent Of both parties to treaty
stipnlatioDs, which provided that
hostilities should cease - that all
offences should be forgotten and for
given that no one. whether of the
Pro. Slavery or Free State party,
should be prosecuted for any act
committed prcvious to that date
The result was, that while the Free
State men kept their engagements TO
the letter. the Pro. Slavery men Of
Fort Scott, some time since, invei-
gIcd one Benjamin Rice, a promi-
Dent Free State man, INFO their
town and had him arrested on a
charge CT murlcT, having, it was al
legged, killed Pro Slavery man in
one Of the skirmishes, some time
previous to the adoption Of the Dem
yer Treaty. Both the Pro. Slavery
and Free State yrsit,en n,s Of that sec
ton, were indignant at this breach
Of faith, and held pnblie mee iings in
which this act was severely dc.
nounced, and tbc rekase ul Rice de-
manded- but 10 SW pUrpose. The
border rniiiaDs in and abOnt Fort
Fort Scoot, had determined on yen-
geance, and nothing shor, Of tho
execution of Rice would satisfy Them
At this juncturc, Montgomery ,aisej
a force, marched upon the town, and
rescued the prisoner. While they
were passing through the streets.
they were fired npoD from o store
and one Of their men was wounded:
whereupon the store was attacked
and the individual who shot the Free
State man, was killed in their at.
tempt to force an entrance. 1t is
asserted that nothing was taken
from the store except arms and am
munition.
The Pro Slavery men have called
in the aid Of Hamilton, from Mis-
souri,. who pcrpetrated such cold.
biooded murder OF Free State men,
in May last, and this has provoked
a retaliation, on the Missouri 'front.'
iers by Montgomery's men.
The prospect is, that civil war is
again revived in all it's fury, and
nothing but the total determination
Of one or other of the belligerents,
will restore quiet. The Federal au-
thorities looked on with perfect in
diff. .ence, while the rights of the
Free State men were violated, but
now that the tables are turned, and
the Pro.Slavery men are worsted,
they feel very indignant, and are
calling for military aid.
