FORBES of that State, upon an alleged charge 1 kidnapping slave in this State. Dr. Forbes was surrendered and brought to this State, and the charges duly investigated This investigation showed the charges to be wholly groundless and malicious. and appeared that said Dr. J.

Queer Exneserntion.

"Cleveland" telegraphed from Washington
to the Enquirer:
"Gov. Medary, who has just arrived here,
says that Hyatt's reports are exaggerated.
He admits that the people will have to go
out OF the Territory to get paid, but no suf-
fering will ensue in consequence"
The "paidn is probably misprint for
food, as to go out of the Territory to get paid
when there is nothing due, would be about
as bad as Mr.. Hystt's exaggerations. Gov.
Medary says Hyatts reports are exaggerated;
the people are merely destitute of food, and
will have to go out of the Territory for it,
without any money to pay for il, but no suE-
fering will ensue. They are only starving
but there is plenty in the surrounding States,
and they have only to go for it; but no suf-
fering will ensue. Of course not. If Hy-
ats statements are exaggerations, what
shall we call this picture of total destitution
which the Governor presents? To be sure,
he says no suffering will ensue; but the peo-
pie may be allowedt to judge whether starva-
tion is suffering.
Here is model Governor Mr.. Buchanan
has at last found one fit for the Kansas
business. His people have lost every crop.
Starvation is upon them. The humane are
appealed to, and are responding, as the
American people always do to distress, But
the Governor issues a thanksgiving procla-
nation, insulting their privations with a
hotch-potch of scripture, and hurries off to
Washington to throw cold water on the ef
forts Of the benevolent to relieve them. "NC
suffering will ensue." They have only go
to leave the Territory to get food; but ther
the more they leave the better it will suit
the Administration and him. Excellent Gov
ernor Herod would have been called quite
humane Governor in Kansas. t

A spirit of Health.

-
Some devout and patriotic soul rushes into
the papers and proposes that q universal
prayer be sent up, that the spirit Of Wash
ington may hover over the country and
guide us through our present troubles. 1t is
a capital idea. Why was it not thought of
before? Let the spirit of the departed patsr
hover and pass the contribution-box over
the country, for the unfinished monument
or to complete the purchase of his bones
from his relative. 1t will not be the first
time Virginia spirit has taken up col
lection to buy its own bones though it is
generally done in the fesb Every body
knows the miraculous effect of taking up a
collection in calming and dispensing an ex-
cited crowd. Nothing would have 30 con-
servative an influence at this time.
We regret to say that the precedents af.
ford little encouragement that the services
Of the illustrious spirit can be secured. Dives
made similar request of Abraham, who re-
piled that if they heard not Moses and the
Prophets they would not hear though one rose
from the dead. 1t is rather ominous that we
now have an elect Abraham who cares more
for Moses and such anti-slavery prophet;
than for the spirit of the father of a turbu-
dent country. If the spirit can not be en-
gagged, let Mr.. Everett do the lowering. He
seems as if he had almost begotten the
country. Let him repeat his Grafton on
Washington one hundred times more, begin,
ming at Charleston. No excitement coulC
withstand its soothing influence.
