He became em* l>Hfm>sed,and was induced iomakeanassi«»n* rneni for' dm benefit of his credi'or«. He had not intended, however, to assign his patent. He knew that under his direction inort? could b« realized from it than if it mu* she hands of others. Designing to realize thn-s, as much ns possible, not only I’nr such of his creditors as roishL-naLUe.-able to gel undi r the assignment everything their claims railed for, and also to support his family, he reserved this. He sold it for §50,000. Of this sum 812,500 hod been paid previous to the assignment. Wmi‘ Strong was the a'tnrney for the assignees. As an attorney he discovered Ihit the -assignment gave a color' of th*o to the assignee* in this patent right. He, there lore, look the deed of assignment to the Patent Office in Washington ci'y, and had the patmi sold, and bought it for 820 ! 1! This mechanic, anxious lo carry out his ngrormi ni with the previous purchaser, and desiring not to have them embarrassed with n law suit, oficrrd then 8500, and fmillv 81000 to Mr. Strong to withdraw all claim that Mr. Strong believed he had under this “bogus 1 ’ purchase. Pie sternly refused lo do it. When the mechanic in person re quested Inm for f he sake of his family to lake the $6OOO, Mr. Strong replied with an emphatic “No,” 0 Mr. S rong afterwards sold this “bogus" claim to speculators for 810,000. Thus he speculated - upon ihe skilly-enterprise and in gemtify of a mechanic, and made 80980 by n quirk, a quibble. The mechanic lost thus !® 57,500.

Fire ! —As our citizens were about taking their scats in church Sunday afternoon, they were startled by an alarm of fire, which soon emptied the seats. The fire originated in the barn ofJVIr. Benjamin Seeley, (rear of the Presbyterian Church,) and was under such headway when.discovered that the sur rounding buildings were in Imminent danger. The barn of Mr. C. Robinson was saved with difficulty, not without damage. The C|evebnd brothers had occupied Mr. Seeley’s barn as a carpenter’s shop, and lost their tools and a quantity oi lumber, togeth er with considerable personal property, valued by them at several hundred dollars. No insurance. Tlic cause of the fire is unknown. Owing to the absence of wind at the time, our vil lage is probably spared its finest church cdifice.and one or two of its best dwellings.

Mr. Hinton Rowan Helper, of Salisbury, North Carolina, has just lighted the incendiary torch with a mosf incendiary, and we may say, a most extraor dinary publication, entitled, * 4 The Impending Cri sis of the South : How to sleet it.” Mr. Helper is a resident of North Carolina, the son of a slavehold- - cr, familiar with the history and operation of the pe «rtri*rr-fm>cmttion (tour tits youth np, and yet, strange to say, Mr. Helper is an oat and out Abolitionist— fully as radical as Garrison and as v Uupcralive -as Abby K. Foster. lie talks like a men who seems determined to act both upon the offensive and defen sive, as the occasion may require, and invites the plantation lords to bring on their bears. From ex tracts from this book which we find in the Tribune, we are enabled to form a tolerably correct opinion of the contents; and we canpol do better than to give portions of these extracts in this place. In re gard to the future action of the Abolitionists of the South, he soya: “ A profound sense of duly incites us to make the greatest possible efforts tor the abolition of Slavery; an equally profound sense of duty culls fur a cou linnanceof those efforts until the very last fbc lo Freedom shall have been utterly vanquished. To the summons of the righteous monitor within we shall strive to prove faithful; no opportunity for in. Aiding a mortal wound in the side of Slavery shall be.permitted to pass unimproved. Thus, lerror.en gemierers of the South, we have fully and frankly defined our position; \vc have no modification lo propose, no compromise lo offer, nothing to retract. Frown, Sirs, fret,foam, prepare your weapons, threat strike, shoot, stab, bring on civil war, dissolve the Union, nay, annihilate the solar system if you will —do all this, more, les>s, better, worse, anything do what you will. Sirs, you can neither foil nor in timidate us ; our purpose is as firmly fixed as the eternal pillars of Heaven ; we have determined to aboh»lu§lavery, and, »o help os abolish it we will I Take-Uiis to bed with you to-night, sirs, and think about it, dream over iU and let us know how you feel to-morrow morning.” Let our doughfaces take the above lo bed with them and chew-it, and if they do not feel belter and more respectable in the morning, then salt w’oaY save them from'moral and political atrophy. Why, there’s more backbone in this Mr. Helper than in the entire democratic parlyNorlh. He stands up in the lion’s den and plucks the monster by Iho beard ; Northern democrats run and hide, slopping their ears with their fingers, even at the angry roar of the ignoble beast. This man, reared under the | beneficent influences of the system which the dem ocracy so venerate, finds nothing in injustice and j oppression to admire. On the contrary, he hag ; come lo say with John Wesley—“ Slavery is the | sum of all vffTaipie*!” He has discovered that the boa tied chivalry of the South has no existence in fact, and remarks, M that, deeply impressed with the “ conviction that Slavery is a great moral, social and ** political evil—a sinand a crime in the fullest sense u —whenever wc speak of gentlemen of the Sooth, “ or of gentlemen anywhere, or at whatever time, “ or in whatever connection we may speak of gen “ Uemca, we seldom ‘allude to slaveholders, for the -simple reason thatwitfi few exemption?, we can. “mol recognize them us gentlemen, 11 ‘ This rather lakes down tho “chivalry” a little ; yet we presume that few will fin£ much unfairness in the author's estimate of whal constitutes a gentleman upon a calm consideration of the matter.

We should not have troubled our rea ders with the fewVcmarka which follow, had not the pen, or the memory of the author of the above reso. lulions met with such a fearful lapsus when staling u thc almost entile unanimity” with wlrich they were adoplcd by the meeting. *Thc truth is just here: The audience numbered fully 300; but on no one of the resolutions, nut even on the 4th, upon which several Spiritualists voted “aye,” was there to exceed 35 voices ; and this we stale without fear of successful contradiction, The fir>t resolution was lied, if not voted down. Considered as corn plimeniary lo Dr. Morron, the resolutions are wel* enough ; but as far as they undertake to deal with the merits of ids arguments, wc apprehend that no man who would not undertake to prove that a horse block is of the hoi so specie?, would, upon a careful examination of the Doctor's premises and conclu sions, contend that they are pertinent. Let us look at a few of the Doctor’s arguments, space will not permit u& to take them up in order, and see how logical some people can be : He sets but with the proposition that Spiritualism is an un mitigated humbug—that the phenomena do not oc. cur. The'lst resolution stales that ho proved llic atheism of Spiritualism. Is atheism a humbug? Certainly not; but a reality, rather. Again, he admitted that a largo majority of Spir itualists hold to the being of a God. Atheists uni versally deny the being of "a God. By what kind of logic diU he “legitimately” conclude that Spirilu. olism is atheistic ? Chop logic 7 Atheism denies immortality. Docs Spiritualism leach annilnlatlou ? Logic !

Q- —Is electricity mall" ? Dr. M.—l think so. Q- —Their, as spirit cannot Como io contact with matter, und as electricity is matter, how dues spirit come in.contact with U.so as'to make it an agent? The Doctor did not extricate himself from this, dilemma, possibly because be had a way of gelling “ astonished,” invariably, under similar circuroaian ces.

Having lilUc-Confidcncc •in the truth and apparently less in the Doctor, they dis. regarded his publicly and privately expressed wishes in regard to the investigation, and'to crown all, we have a report from a Committee whose every mem ber-ia inimical to Spiritualism. For some of these stated reasons wc have said so much, and because like Dr. Morron, we lovVfatr play. The lectures have aroused and strengthened Spiritualists, and ere many months they will have an organization for mutual Improvement and action, itfour jmdsl.

Rut if importing negroes as emigrants from Alrica, is not the slave trade, then the laws of Congress do not apply to it. We suppose emigrants from Africa may just as legitimately be brought into the United States asem'igrants from Gcrmanyor Ireland. Nor will the circumstance of an agreement being previously made for employment and wages, a! all affect the legality of theimpor tation. Hundreds, thousands are being im ported daily from Europe, under agreements «hh the manufactures of New England, to carry on their factories. If the government of the United Stales shall, therefore, deter mine that the importation of negroes from the African coast, by England and France, as emigrants into the West" India Islands, is not it»o ATricnn ntnvo trade, then the whole trade of bringing the negroes from Africa is also open to the Sou’hern Stales. What becomes of the negroes’af'er they are imported in a Strfle will be an affair of the State. The General Government can have nothing to do with it. The enforcement of any contract for wages will be entirely within the Jurisdic tion of the courts of the Slates. And if ■public opinion, or Ihe real understanding of tile emigrants, establishes practically that they shall be slaves, there is no redress by any other authority than that of the States in which they are located.” Hete,now, is n way pointed out by which our laws, prohibiting the African slave trade, may be evaded. The suggestion is plausible on its face, and will be very readily adopted, we presume, by the chivalry, as one of the cardinal principles ol Southern politicians. They will not scruple to adopt any measure whose , tendency will be to strengthen the stakes and lighten thechordsof their favorite System—o system which enriches Ibem at the expense of justice, human life and immor tal souls. When shall the end of these things be!— Elmira Advertiser. Governor Walker. —Roger A. Pryor draws the following rich sketch of Mr. Bu chanan's new Governor of Kansas. Coming as it dues from the pen of an nrdenl Demo crat and a warm supporter of Air. Buchanan lasi fall, it possesses a peculiar signftcance. Ha says : “The Hon. Robert J- Walker was appoint ed Governor of Kansas. With a reputation for a larger measure of talents than usually falls to the IoL even of statesmen, he has never yet been suspected of the least particle of personal honesty. A bankrupt with a splendid income, a millionaire at tho expense of widows and orphans, a speculator in ficti tious slocks and a jobber upon other people’s money—he was the last man in the Union lo whom the President should have intrusted a mission implying so much of private honor and public virtue us the Governorship of Kansas. That he would obey the impulse of his .own venal arabiiion, was as certain as that a vullure is governed by an instinct for carrion. Originally emigrating to the South from a Northern Slate, with a view of pro moting his personal fortunes, ho shook its dust from Iris feet the moment the generous people of'lVlississtppi gave him a national re putation. ■ Since the close of the Potfc admin istration he has resided in the'Northland has pursued the occupation of a political turd pe cuniary -adventurer.

Doubtless the Governor feels it to be the very essence of “Democracy” to allow this miserable handful to rule, and to maintain their rule by a Uni ted Stales army, as, otherwise, they would at once be driven, out by general indignation. Mark my words ! nothing but a, sufficient r.r the. United. SuUcs,.axmv will ba able to keep that Cons’iiuitonal Convention in Kansas. The people have determined that if it assembles at all it must assemble in Missou ri where it belongs. ! Gov. Walker is trying In gel pp agd be lieve a frightful cock-and-bull story about an election being prevented in Lawrence by vio lence. There is not a shadow of truth in such an idea. No one ever attempted to open the polls. No crowd ever assembled. There were, certainly, jeering questions from the passers hy, to each other:- “Have you vo ted !” Sarcasm and waggery toward the bo gus election was its most fearful jopposilion. I mention this, because' Walken.made Ihe charge tqlsome Lawrence men last; night, and had it promptly contradicted. Still, as he keeps a reporter, whose pen it has been'boasl ed hy his friends “can reach the Republican press,” I think it better to mention, and thus conlrad’ct this unfounded rumor, which noth ing but the sheer desperation of their circum stances has driven them (o adopt. : Gov. Walker is in the horrors. Some think he will leave Kansas soon. jShould he do so, the Slate Government will gp immedi ately into active motion. The people here are getting tired of this Gubernatorial farce. Satrap after satrap hos been sen ; l to bolster up Ihe iniquity of these Tisurpprs. The President must not think of sending another. RESULT OF THE ELECTION. In every county, so far as heajii from, the returns of last Monday’s election show a miserably meager minority. Leavenworth, with two tickets in the field to bring out a full vole, not only of the Southern Democra cy but of the Walker style, could poll only 235 votes; Delaware, 49; Gaston, about 50 ; Kickipoo, 110. Three precincts! not heard from will not increase the vole t0'.600 in Lea venworth County. The Whole number of registered vo’ers, unfairly as the census was taken, is 1,837. Douglas County!polled 230 registered votes, 1,300. Shawnee, CO—reg istered, 293. Franklin, 20 or 30: Calhoun, so far.as beard, only 2or 3. It is generally admitted that the entire vole of llje territory’ will not exceed 1,500 or 3,000. Registered, 9,251. - f Will this open the eyes of ibe jGovcrnor ?

The Democ racy on the 30th of March, 1855. polled ever 5,500 voles. The three towns of Dela ware, Leavenworth and Eickapoo, IS months ago, polled for the location of a county seal over-2,500 .voles.

Certainly it will not if the Delegates elect regard the assembling of the Convention with as much indifference at the people regarded the elections. The truth is, that the people of Kansasof all parlies are sick of politics, and the unhealthy excite ments flowing from them, and are determined for a season to enjoy peace and quietude. COLLECTING TAXES IN KANSAS. The* business of collecting taxes in Kansas is prosecuted under difficulties. -The Free State inhabitants who do not recognize tbs authority of tlie^Legislature, give the tax gatherers a receptioa which is anything but friendly. Ooe.day last week Deputy Mar shal Fain'wcnt from Lecoropton to Lawrence to collect taxes. One of the first men he met was Col Eld ridge, whose splendid hotel Fain had beeninstrumental in destroying fast year. The following conversation look place: “Well, Colonel, I have come to lownlo assess property and collect taxes from you and the balance of the citizens. Are you ready to fork over?” “What ! ask me for taxes, you d—d vi|. lian, after burning up and destroying my. property \ If I should; pay you with an ounce of cold lead, it would be what you richly deserve. If you have assessed any taxes on my properly, just lake it out of that horse you stole from my barn lasi Summer. Leave my presence, and the sooner you make yourself scarce, the better for your health.;’ Fain’s reception by other citizens of Law. rence was scarcely more flattering, ft was with difficulty that the people were kept from seizing, tarring and feathering him., and rid ing him out of town on a rail. Bound to Marry Somebody. A young couple from Southern' Illinois or Egypt, came to the city the other day for ills avowed purpose of gelling bilched logelher in the traces of matrimony. The bride was a full-grown, red cheeked, sandy haired maid en, with a well developed bust, and a foot like the Cincinnati platform—broad enough to cover the whole country. Her gallant was six feel and an inch, wiib bits like a sledge hammer, and a shock of hair like the re mains of a small hurricane. He was rather verdant to be so far from home; but as love can transmogrify an oyster into a sword-fish, it was working wonders in the enamored Sucker. He-put op with his intended, at a boarding house up town, and immediately started to get a shave and a Justice of the ! Peace. The barber look off his wiry beard in sljortf older, and gently hinted that he wnnl edjishampoonmg. “Shahn what V' said the Illinoisan, never having heard the terra used before. Oa be ing told what sharopooning meant, he con sented to undergo the operation. His head was thoroughly scoured and scrubbed, lath ered aad robbed, washed and squeezed, and he_Cell-Uke-.il new man. ..But the ehampoon ing had so bewildered his brain, that when he left the barber’s he was perfectly oblivious as to the course lie should steer, to return to his bride. He wandered abqut the city in perfect bewilderment, and has not been seen since. The lady, in the meantime, had awaited in great anxiety (or the return of her swain, and finding he did not come, concluded that he had incontinently' absquatulated. She de clared, however, that’she would never go back to Egypt without a "feller” of some sort, and hinted thayshe wasn’t over particular by what name she went hereafter. A good-looking young boatman, who waa stopping at the house, hearing of the young lady’s distress, concluded to “buck up’’ himself. He was not long in making known his intention, and his advances were received in about the same spirit that a pel cat submits to the caresses of a sod hand. When the boatman put the important question, the girl replied : “Well, I don’t care ef I do. I was fochl oyer here to git married, and I’m bound to marry somebody a(ore !go back. The gals in the bottom woold never git done laughing at me ef I went home without a feller,” I The couple were accordingly united in dtia form, and when last heard from, was. the hap piest pair this side of Salt Lake. — Si.
