What its all About.

People have used the words "Southeru
rights" "encroachment. +" "fanaticism, y
Compromises of the Constitution" and
the like; SO much and so long. that they ar.
in danger Of forgetting what all the present
rowdy-iow is about-of covering up tho
true meaning Of the contest under flood
of words which any parrot might repeat.
We go back to the first principles, and
tell in plain Saxon what the real struggle
is. 1t is for en rsf
!. The right cfpropery in men, ,romen
and Children right which is of modern,
invention. and which only latt er-day inge.
unity has found in the Constt ution OF the
United States, n.
III. The desire Of the South to usurp the
control and shape the destiny of all the
Territories by devoting them to slavery,
and telling freedom to stand back until the
man sellers are serve,l-a desire which
none Of the fathers of the Republic indulg-
ed and which is not justified by line OF
the fundamental law.
III. The determination OF the South 10
force upon the free States Fugitive Slave
Law which is atrocious in every one of its
features-which compels free men to act
the part of blood hounds on the track of
fugitives, and otherwise exacts of citizens
of the free States that uhichno gentleman
III he South can be compclle to do.
Nv. The avowed purpose of the South
to carry slavery into all the Free States in
spite Of local Legislatures and the people
thcrcof-to carry it by demanding foI
Southern men the right of transit and tenn
porary sojonrn with their chattels. This
is also new claim which complaisancc
may allow. but for which no warrant ex-
lists.
V. The declaration that as long as the
South can govern the country. her citizens
will submit to laws which they make; but
as soon as the majority acting according to
the forms and in consonance with the spir-
it Of the Constitution, assumes the power,
they will revolt and set up for themselves.
These all resolve themselves into ono,
and that is this:
We. Southern gentlemen slave holders.
well-to-do in the world. numbering $780,.
600 souls. despising democracy aud your
toiling men of the North. demand that we
may be permitted to do what we please
with the institution of Slavery-to buy and
to sell. work without pay and whip with
out fear Of the law. all tho men women and
children we please; anil when our partisan
courts cannot find Justification for our acts
in the Constitution. we demand of ron an
amendment of that instrument. and you
must submit. or we break the government
up. 4-rt---4r-1-r o1av

sented. We commend them to the prayer

-a..TuE Pnn.osorlIY Of DIsuNIoS"-Tht
article under this head on our first page,
extracted from that ably conducted sheet,
the Indiana Journal. will well repay a
careful perusal. While we think the rea-
sons assigned in tho article for the prevail
ing Disunion sentiments in the South are
probably correct. We do not wish it to be
inferred that we fully indorse the concur
sions Of the writer that it is impo.i,ic. to
eocrce a seeding State or States. If we
could believe that after secession the South
and North could get along as separate ma
lions more amicably than they now do. we
might advocate the adoption Of some plan
providing for peaceable secession; but. re-
garding it as almost certain that war could
not be long averted between the discovered
parts. by any treaty that CO I'D be agreed
upon, We see no use IN consenting TO dis
union for the sake Of peace.

CONGRESS-.

Little or nothing OF much importance
has been finally acted On BY Congress,
since our last. except the passage of tina
bin TO autiorize The issue or s1U, GOO, 600
in Treasury notes for the rolief Of the Teas
.ssy.sa'The1 Homestead Bill which passed
tho House, has been called mp in the Sen
ate and referred. The Pacific Rail Road
bill was called up in the House on Tues
day and referred to the committee of the
Whole. Most Of the time in both Houses
has bcrn spent ia discussing secession and
plans for saving the Union. Various pro-
jects have been suggested to quiet the
South, but they seem determined to be-dis-
satisfied unless AL their, unreasonable de-
manls are granted. Allthat is necessary
to be done, in orr opinion, to prevent Sc
cession is for the Republicans to stand
firm and yield nothing that is not right,
and boldly avow that the Union must be
maintained at all hazards. If the South
has any cause Of complaint the North has
much more. The South raises tempes.
about very trivial matters while the North
bears her great wrongs quietly for the sake
Of peace This is the difference between
the two sections. Further concessions to
the South will not do my good, and If
they would we doubt the propriesy Of ma
king any. unless we arc prepared to yield
oil they demand, which no one thinks OF
doing. - - ~ - ~

THE HUSBAND OF MANY WIVES &C.
W. Board, alias Bowman, alias G. W.
Brown but who.e real name is believed to
he Thomas Board, was committed to jail in
Owensboro, KY, a few days since He
had won the heart of fair lady of that
place, and was about to be united to her
in marriage, the guests having assembled to
witness the ceremony, when 1t fortunately
leaked out that be had more wives than the
law allows 1t is said that he is from Jen>
kius county, Va, where he has an i2terest>
ing family still living. He visited Rich
mond, Texas, in the fall of 1858. and mar
ried lady by the name of Mason. he
had previously married widow in South
Carolina, and made for Hannibal, Missouri,
where he married again. The next we hear
of him he was in Louisiana, where he mar
ried lady of the Southern cline. He
abandoned her, and then tried the same
game at Owensboro, and would have won
but foT his exposure by lucky circumstance.
He had made many friends during his short
stay in the latter place, having money, and
apparently being in fine circumstances. His
photograph has been added to the select
collection of Williams in the police office.
