0La'!oa Of State rights 10 carry ii beyG,ld STATE
limits, we deny the power OF any citizen to ex-
tend the area of bondage beyond its present
dominion; nor do IRE consider IL part Of the
compromise Of the Constitution, that slavery
should foreuer frarel NTH the advancing column
Of our territorial progress
From that time the Democracy plunged rap
idly into the stream Of slavery propagandism,
which, we sorry to say, has become the
ssworst part'' of their 'srecord.' 1t seems
strange that those who took such an active
part in the proceedings to which we have re-
ferred, should not retain single emotion OF
fondness for their early love, but are now de-
nouncing principles that are more liberal in
every respect. 1t remains to be seen how long
they will pursue their present course. Should
they feel themselves constrained to make an
other change at some future period, they can
use the convenient excuse which Mr.. Bigler
gave for his support OF the Wilmot Proviso,
that they had committed s'an error of the head
and not of the heart.''

CoNDITIoN OF THE PEOPLE IN KANsAs.-Stdr-
ration staring fifty thousand persons in the face.
-Thaddeus Hyatt has just put forth au address
in behalf of the alleged starving inhabitants of
Kansas Ii is dated the 4th inst, and says ::
s.Starvation in Kansas is but one step between
fifty thousand people and death /! An appeal is
made to the press Of the country, to the church.
es, to Congress, to the State Legislatures, to
philanthropists, and the humane everywhere.
Prompt action by the country, miracle
from God, can alone this people. The
famine, like q vortex, draws to its trightful
centre all conditions. They who had food
yesterday have none to day, and they who have
food for to-day have none for tomorrow. Sew
enty teams arrived yesterday. Fifty were
loaded and sent away the day before. Ten
thousand dollars worth of clothing has been
distributed within the past week. Six thou
sand dollars in cash within four days have been
paid for freights. Eighty lone car loads of pro-
visions Lave been received within that time,
and yet starvation is imminent. The people
are living from hand to mouth and are barely
saved alive. Our funds are now exhausted.
The melting SHOWS of February and the over
flowing streams must shortly prevent the dis
tant sufferers from coming here to get supplies.
Their starvation depends upon our promptness
in establishing depots for provisions at acces
sible points. Without funds the whole work
must cease. The intermission of week is
death and desoatiOn.''

MORE VICrIMs.-T The Patterson, New Jersey
Guardian says that two men, we'll known in
Patterson have been sacrificed to the mob vi
oIence of South Carolina. The names of the
murdered party are Andrew Ackerman and
- Bartolf. Both have worked about Saddle
River and other parts of Bergen County. Mr..
Ackerman the son of John Ackerman of
Ramapo, near the Newly ork State line and
the other was of the Bartolf family, who re-
side i'll Bergen County. They had gone down
South TO work at their trade, when the Seces-
sion broke out, all business stopped, and they
concluded it was best for them 10 come home
They had accordingly completed their arrange
ments for returning to the North; but had to
wait seve. al days for their money, and it was
during this time that they We're arrested as
spies and hung, their arrest, trial, and eXecu-
ton, having all taken place within one hour.
The first intimaton that was received concern
ing their fate came from the man for whom
they had worked, in the vicinity of Charleston,
who, finding out what hay been done and
where Bartolf's father lived, wrote a statement
of the circumstances, regrettng the affair,
and saying, that bad he been informed or
time been allowed the suspected persons, their
innocence might have been established and
their lives saved. An agent has been dis
patched by the friends of the deceased. and
it is supposed the remains of the unfortunate
young men will be brought on for intrement.
Both were clever and industrious mechanics,
and were unmarried men. Concerning anoth-
CT young man who was with them at the time
and formed one of the party, nothing is known,
and it is believed he too was IN some way or
other disposed of by the traitors who hold
high revel now in the City of Charleston.

THE CHEMISTRY OF MISUNDERSTANDING the
special delights which have so richly repaid
our visit to New England was the inspection,
it was our privilege to make of DR.. j. G. Aver
& Co.'s Laboratory, at Lowell. Although we
knew by hear-say, that it was large, yet we
were surprised when we came into view of its
real magnitude, and still more by the extent
and complication of its truly immense business.
The whole massive structure is in fact one vast
chemical laboratory, in which the process of
this wonderful art are constantly going on.
Medico. chemical science has found that the
curative properties of any substance exist in
some one more of its component parts.
Thus the remedial effects of opium are due
solely to the morphia 1t contains, although this
is but one eighteenth part of its weight; the
other seventeen parts are gum, eXtractive and
inert or offensive matter. DIR. Ayers system
separates the medical properties OF each sub
stance employed and we are here shown the
processes by which the virfues of each reme-
dial agent are chased through the alembics
until they come out completely pure at last.
These concentrated, purified medical proper
ties, OF virtues, are finally combined together
TO produce the remedins which have made
themselves a reputation for unrivalled excel
lence, all over the world. Not only does the
Doctor disclaim all secrecy in his art and ex-
plain every process and every particular, but
he maintains that this is the only process by
which the people can be supplied with the best
possible remedies are made are published in
the medical Journals and have been presented
to large part of the medical Faculty of the
United States, and are constantly sent by mail
to such physicians as apply for them Daily

A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLoTHING.-A man call
ing himself Rev. j. II. Robinson, who has been
travelling about for sometime, as a Method st
clergyman, recently made his appearance in
Harrisburg, having in company a handsome
young girl, who, it was supposed, had fallen a
victim to his wiles. The Harrisburg papers
showed him up and he left the State Capital
About the close of last week, the individual
turned up in Pittsburg and assuming his sane
timonious role, made the acquaintance of Rev
1. n. Baird, pastor of the Liberty street Church,
who kindly took him home. On Sunday Rev
Robinson preached in the Liberty street NJ. E.
church and assisted in admin istering the Sa.
crament, addressed the Sabbath school in the
afternoon and spoke at IA revival meeting in the
evening. 1t was announced that he would
take part in the protracted meetings during
the week. But on Tuesday morning para
graph concerning Rev. Robinson, copied from
Harrisburg paper into one of our city jour-
nails, was discovered by member of the con-
gregation who immed lately took it to DR..
Baird, and that gentleman took it to his!guest's

SHoRT-LIvED HoNEYMooN.-A Miss White,

husband TO that State, which she intended
making her future residence, returned to
Harrisburg on Tuesday afternoon, having been
ordered to leave the Southern domain at a
certain date, before the expiration of ten
hours 1t lseems that she made a free use of
her Northern sentiments. What was done

sLIpELL AND BENJAMIN.

Mr.. Slidell of Louisiana, in taking leave of
the Senate on the 4th inst, INDUCED in long
and impudent reasonable harangue, which
ought TO have been peremptorily cut short by
the presiding officer. He declared that an at
tempt to enforce the laws would be regarded
as war, and while he admitted the supremacy
of the n North upon the sea, he threatened that
our commerce would be preyed upon by pri-
vatecrs. With that peculiar folly and ignor-
ance about the North which seems to cloud
even the keenest Southern minds, he assumed
that n New-England and New York would them
selves supply the privateers to harrass their
own commerce. He closed his harangue with
she prediction that the Secession of the South
would restore the Democratic party to its as
cendonce in the Free States and that then the
Union could be reconstructed on ultra Pro-
Slavery principles. This is doubtless Mr..
Sldell's expectation He is no fanatic. and
does not worship the negro like his South Car
olina confederates. He is too shrewd and
wary to believe IN permanent Secession, or to
suppose that the U. States will quietly permit
the insignificant State of Louisiana, with her
half-negro population of a few hundred thous-
and TO hold the mouth of the Mississippi.
His plan is to play at Secession long enough
to frighteR the North into concessions to
Slavery, and thus restore the Democracy to
power. It is not worth our while TO waste
space on such froth. We shall merely call
attention TO one characteristic feature of the
rawlings of these shareholders. Both of them
make passionate appeals TO the spirit of Lib
erty. Both of them speak with bitter scorn of
ssslavish" submission. s'Better, thousand
times better,'' exclaims Mr.. Benjamin, ga rope
of sand, aye, the fiimsest gossamer that ever
glttered in the morning dew, than chains of
iron or shackes of steel. Better the ,riidest
anarchy, nth the hope, the chance, Of one hours
inspiration Of The glorious breath Of freedom,
than ages Of Ina hopeless bondage and oppre,-
sion 10 which our enemies rould redace as"
And yet this hypocrtical braggart has plunged
into rebellion and civil war solely because he
fears that the chains, the bondage and oppres-
sion in which he and his fellow traitors hold
one hall of the people of louisiana, may be
less secure under Democratic rule 1t would
not be surprising if that oppressed portion of
his own people took him at his word, and help
ed themselves to the s'chance of one shour's
inspiration of the glorious breath of freedom,
