Riddle.

/ have two bodies, to your view dis
played,
Both of one substance uniformly made /;
Alike in form, with one food only fed,
Nor does that food consist of meat or
bread;
When once united, they are both sup
ply'd
With food which lasts until they are
destroyed;
When one has much, the others share
is small;
Sometimes have both alike-alternate
none at all
Like kingdoms, they have many ups
and downs;
But mostly stand unmov'd when mid
night frowns.
Like desperate thieves their bodies are
confn'd
No pain they feel, or pain they do not
mind.
They oft tell lies, although they have
no tongue;
But then the faults not theirs when
they are wrong.
What they do tell should be by al
much priz'd;
Instead of that by most it is despis'd
Whenever they're mov'd by mans su-
perior pow'r,
Thousands, unnumber'd, fall within al
hour.

blind about our own. When the

A KANSAS ITEM.-We are informed by an
intelligent gentleman from Southern Kansas,
who in no way sympathizes with Montgomery
and his recent acts, that one of the prominent
disturbing elements leading to the late out
break was the act of the State of Arkansas
expatriating her free colored population.
Our readers will remember that something
more than year ago the Legislature of that
State enacted law requiring all free persons
of colur, who should remain within its limits
after certain date, to choose masters and en-
ter into the blessings of slavery. Many of the
pariahs, thus crualy smitten by the hand of
power, fled to the Canadas. Others went to
Ohio and other Northern States. But a con-
| siderable number, residing in the Western and
Northwestern counties, migrated to the Cher
okee country and southern Kansas. Hardly
had they become settled in the latter region
when gang OF kidnappers, having their head
quarters in Missouri, commenced stealing and
selling them TO traders for the Southern slave
markets. Among these Russell Kinds was
particularly prominent and especially offensive.
His arrest and execution by Jennison and his
men, was the first act Of the recent outbreak.

1t is supreme folly for Administration pa
pers to attact Hannibal Hamlin, the newly e.
lected Vice President of the United States.
We preceive that even Mr.. Yancey has de-
scended to the point of saying that Mr.. Ham
lin is a mulatto. Mr. Yancey and the Admin
istration papers should remember that Mr..
Hamlin never was called mulatto until he be-
came Republican. Our own knowledge and
estimate Of the man is that he is an upright,
fearless, and conscientious statesman. He
could never have won his way in the Demo-
cratic party first and in the Republican party
second, without being person of very con-
siderable abilities.-Pha. Press.

No intelligent man doubts now that the Sc
cessionists have seized upon Lincoln's cleo
ton as an opportunity, not as a cause, for the
present movement. Their reasonable scheme
was concocted years ago. This is admitted by
some of their prominent men. Mr.. MCGOWAN,
a member OF the House of Representatives of
South Carolina, and recognised leader in
the State, said in the course of debate In the
House on the 9th of November:
1--WE have long been satisfied as to the eau
ses of dissolution. We avail ourselves of the
election of Lincoln, but it is not with us the
only cause of complaint. We have remained
in the Union for the purpose of obtaining the
cooperation of our Southern ssters-to ar
range the time when, and the manner how,
and for nothing else ~
Can any reasonable man doubt, after such an
acknowledgment, that the Disunionsts would
long since have broken up the Union, if they
could possibly have succeeded in doing so (?
