Man-Mongering Extra.

Democracy has such a passion for dealing
in human flesh, that it loses no opportunity
for dipping in.''
Mr.. Keller, member of the Council, on
the 17th ult. gave notice of his intAntian to
introduce bill in the following terms, viz ::
"Mr President: I will introduce bill. at an
early day, for the payment for all the slaves now
living in the county of Johnson Kansas Territory,
that are owned by the Shawnee Indians, or adopt
ed Indians of the Shawnee Nation, namelv-all
slaves that are owned by Svprian Chouteau. Fred
erick Chouteau, William Donaldson. NJ. P. Ran
dali, and the heirs of Joseph Parks. deceased.
CHARLES g. keller.
That is to say, Mr.. Keller is in favor of
taxing the White men of Kansas to pay the
Red men for the liberty of the Black men
they have enslaved.
Mr.. Redskin, in initiating the vices of his
brother Palefaee, has undertaken to speeu
late in Blackskins--and is likely to make a
poor speculation of it. So Mr.. Keller
wishes the white men of Ksnsas-men who
have to work hard for all they get-to be
compelled to pay Mr.. Redskin for his hui
man merchandise, and take it off his hands
Mr.. Keller is one of those Democrats who
are so much concerned about the interests
of the white men! He belongs to the
''White Mans Party'-he doesl He is a
native of New York. and probably received
his political education among the Hardshelis.
If be is SO exceedingly anxious to engage
in the Black-Wo and Skin trade, he can
go in on his own hook We object, though,
to the Territory making such investment.

WHEN IS THE BEST TINE TO Sow SPRING WHEAT ?
Experience hereabouts for two years past or
more has shown that spring wheat must be sown
early to good crop. About the middle of
March is the best time-perhaps little earlier, if
the weather is favorable. Put from bushel and
half to bushel and three pecks to the acre. and
harrow it in well.

Probably our readers may already be in
formed that several leading Southern jour
mails have recently published a ..blaek list
of New York merchants" snoring who
Southern merchants should patronize and
who not-whieh list is characterized s.Abo-
lition Houses and :. Constitutional Houses .
The result of this nefarious scheme of polit-
ical combination and prescription. may be
seen by the following from the n Y. EUe,s
ing Post:
s'Some of our merchants are absolutely
oppressed with the extent of the orders they
receive from The South We spoke with
one of them this morning, who said that
the house in which he was concerned had
twice the amount of Southern trade this
winter that It had last season What is
quite as worthy of note is. that those who
come on from the South to purchase, buy as
they did last year, where they can buy to
the best advantage. They speek with the
utmost contempt of the attempts to pro-
scribe certain Northern merchants, as mere
shift of the politicians, adopted in an ext
gency of desperation. They pay no atten-
ton 10 it-they buy freely where they can
be best suited, and ask no questions as to
the politics of the seller. They have moth
ing to gain by foregoing the opportunity of
purchasing where they can get the best
bargains

investigating.

1t is said that some of the Republicans,
so soon as.~the House is organized, will
move to raise a committee to ascertain
whether there have been any violations of
that clause of the Constitution which pro-
vides that " The citizens Of each State shall
be entitled to all privileges and immunities
of citizens in the several States, and if any
have taken place to set forth what action, if
any, eff either department of the govern
ment is necessary topunish past, and prevent
future, violations of the kind. We opine, if
this intention of the Republicans is serious,
and it becomes known that they will act on
it that 1t will be some time before the House
is organized. 1t makes but little difference
whether it is now organized or not, as the
remainder oft he session will be taken MP in
manufacturing bunkum for the comiag CAM
paign.
An inquiry is also to- be made into the
recent mail robberies which. have been COM
mitted by government officials, under. the
pretence of SURPRISING. incendiary pubIica-
TONS That gross outrages have hesn COM
mitted in this particular every one believes.
We can't see what clause in the Constitution
or post-ofice law gives Southern postmasters
the exclusive privilege ofbreaking open letters
and papers, and burning or otherwise sup
pressing those they may choose to term in
cendiary. If postmasters are to be set up
as censors Of the public press, those in the
North should be posted Immediately as TO
their duties The political campaign is at
hand, and we trust Postmaster Holt will not
delay his orders too long, The whole
Northern mind may be poisoned while he
hesitates. He should go the whole figure,
and suppress in the North, as well as South.

Disunion and Demoerncy.

Two candidates for the French Mission
were urged upon President Bucnanat1 by
influential members of the Democratic par
ty. One was q Northernef, the other a
Southronj the one was q renegade free
soiler, the other renegade abolitionist, of
the darkest dyes the one was Union man,
the other an avowed and shameless adyo-
cate of the modern doctrine that. if the
Democrats are beaten in the next Presiden-
tial election, it will be their right and duty
to destroy the Union seize upon the public
buildings and archives at Washington. and
plunge the country into civil war; the one
was John A. Dix, of New York, the other,
Charles James Faulkner, of Virginia.
These men were alike faithful to the
party; each was submissive to all its be-
hests; each ready to Violate at its order
what had once been his earnest con-
victions. If anything, the New York
er had most diSgraced himself in its
service, for his free-soilism was more
recent date, and bis apostacy more sudden
and shameless than that of the quondam
abolitioniSA Of Virginia. In point of ability
and fitness for the duties of the office, the
NeW Yorker was notoriously much superior
to, the Nirginian.
And yet the President rejected Mr.. Dix
and chose the Southerner Why was this?
The reason was that the Virginian was a
disunionist, and that his claims were sup.
ported by that powerful body of Southern
disunionists who now control the Democrat
ic party, like dictators-
For the same reason, Mr.. Faulkner was
confirmed by the Senate, even those few
Northern Democratic Senators who would
have preferred to vote for Mr. Dix, giving
him their support. They did not dare to
vote against disunionist.
We comHaehd these simple facts to the
Democrats yet remaining in the North. If
they wish to be recognized by the inexora-
bic ruling power as citizens of the Republic,
let them, too, turn disunionists. We dare
say If Gen. Dix will attend few so-called
Union meetings, and declare himself Justify
for the doctrine of destroying the Union in
case his party should be defeated at the next
election, he, too, May he nominated and
confirmed to some office, if there is one that
a Virginia disnnionist does not want.
And, American freemen we commend
these facts to you. Is it not time that this
corrupt and reasonable party, which has
nothing of Democracy but the name were
hurled from power and broken in pieces for
ever IN Y. Tribune.

~ To PREVENT CoUNTERFETTING.-Aco CORES
pondent of the New York Tribune suggests
a way in which, to a considerable extent,
counterfeiting may be prevented. His plan
is for all of the banks in New York to use
one form of note, such form to be upon pa
per similar to that used by the Bank of
England; each denomination of note, in
addition to being expressed in printing and
engraving, being also expressed by water
mark in the paper. These notes, the writer
adds, should be manufactured under the
surveillance and authority of the State Bank
ing Department, and be supplied to the sew
eral banks against collaterals, in like man.
ner as at present, each note being payable
to bearer on demand, "as per endorsement"
such endorsement being the name and
place of business of the sank to which such
notes may be issued.
The suggestion seems to us good one,
and might be adopted by our Bank of the
State with success. BY having bills all of
the same paper and description, every one
would become SO accustomed to their ap-
pearance that they would easily detect
forgery.
