Ye sons ofPenn—awake! arise! While yet our emblem Eagle flies; And with your bapner ofthe skies, Do battle for the Union ! God save the Union! be our praver— For ail otir hopes are centre! there! And patriot hearts.may well despair, VVtien severed is the Union! Oh, Washington ! he thou our guide— As in Thy days ol manly pride. When freemen battled b\ thy side To form this sacred Union! God save the Union! breathe it now, As when the laurel bound thy blow, And haughty England came to bow In reverence to the Union ! Our fathers—from their lowly graves, Who-e meed was to be good and brave, And calling on their sons to save This blood-CPniented Union ! Gird on the shield your fathers wore, When England's minions trod our>hores; And lie the watchword—as of yore— God! and our glorious Union ! Palsied shall be the daring band, That lights up faetioH" t burning brand. And strews its curse upon our land To sap and mine the Union ! May Heaven impress the mark of Cxin, When Jnelae shall his pieces claim ; And stamp them with eternal shame, That would dissolve the Union. Remember! sons of good old Penn— That "Yorktown" was a Southern gem! And giant blows were struck by them To form a perfect Union ! While Massachusetts—sons and sires, Were bleeding for their blazing spires, '•Kings Mountain" glowed with streaming fires, For Liberty and Union! Then heed ye we!! those sons of light! Who pledged their "lives" to win the fight— And thirteen blazing slars unite To form thi glorious Union! Wtiett four —puts on a sable crown, Forgetful of their joint renown. f/tall six of these old States so down, That battled for the Union De.fiant ofthe blood and toil, Shatl trnuaiVdark and damning spoil—- Pollute our consecrated soil. By severance of the Union.' No ! by our fathers gory bed— By all the suffering hearts that bled— And sacred memory of the dead— We will preseeve the Union ! The Union, is our blazoned crest, J!v statesmen formal ! by warriors blessed! "No North,'no South, no East, no West," Shall ever rive the Union! For Pennsylvania speaks afar— As "Keystone State,' and centra! Star!

In the town of Bridgewaler last week, Brace Hall a little, son of Deacon Hall, of that place, was grievously gored by a bull and almost mi raculously escaped with his life. The bull was a fine young animal, whom the lad—only sev en years old—had been in the habit of driving, and it had never before manifested any consider able viciousness. But boys v\ ho had a bathing place in the brook that runs through its pasture, had worried it by shaking their clothes at it, and thus getting up the excitement of a chase. On Monday of last week, liltfe Brace was pass i: '2 carelessly through the field were there forty animals with this bull among hem, when it suddenly set upon him and tossed h;:n repeatedly upon its horns. A faithful dog which accompanied the boy attacked the bull, and caught upon its neck "nth firm teeth. The bellowing and wild run ning about of the other cattle in the field, made :| n exciting scene. For about eight rods Ihe hull b>*d the boy, tearing his clothes completely off from him ; ihe boy all the time endeavoring tn reach a fence so as to escape. He had already touched the boards, when 'ne bull again tossed him, and his head struck ■'jauiist the ience, tearing the scalp horribly.— j nt unfortunately the horns of the animal had trenched one of the boards of, arid the victim ' ill self-posse*sed, escaped through the of>en s<) opportunely made, into an adjacent lane, be bull seemed more intensely maddened at fnsescape, arid with almost human sagacity famed down toward an opening into the lane some distance off. But the boy had in the me *n time climbed over another fence, and was '"vond the mad beast's reach. foinpletely exhausted he could do no more; -aithful dog who had endeavored to restrain 'beast, hastened to the boy's father, and by fe-ans attracted his attention, and led him to •be presence of his wounded son : he lay bleed -1-• faked, yet alive. He was taken home a "tf cared for, and we understand there is eve r-\ rPas on to believe he will recover from his injuries. The self-possession of the boy alone saved 18 life, and with the fidelity of the dog, de "rveg to be recorded. The bull was fenced in and shot. I <cn,(.Y. Y.)

States? It is a question of the sovereignty of the people. In other countries they have no sovereignty. Their rulers possess it. We are equal and independent States.— The rights and powers which anv one Slate and the people of that State have, every other State and the people thereof also have. The people of no State may claim for themselves what they mav to others. Every State in the I'nion has acted independently, and for itself, in the formation of its own constitution. \<>ne interfered, because they had no right to do so. None ever questioned it, because the right to do fhof did not exist. The Congress of the l'nited States passed an act by which they simply sail that Kansas and Nebraska should frame each a constitution to suit itself, conformably to the guarantees of that of the l'nited Stat'-s. The latter respected, admitted, and sanctioned slavery in anv of the States that might choose to maintain such an institution,— The Kansas and Nebraska act di<! no more than to recognise the power of the people to exercise the right of .self-government, and to regulate for themselves th-ir own domestic institutions, as the other Stoles hod done for themselves. This, then, presents the simple question of the (■quality of the Stales ' Out of it springs another. It is this : Which State. or which set j of Stales, has a higher claim to ceiiuin sover eign rights than other States of the confedera tion? Who will answer this ? Who w ill an swer it by declaring the paiticular States that have a right to , arid will exercise this odious prerogative ? Is there a man who will dare to I do it before ihe American people, either iri the : North, East, West, or South ? Not one ! Yet . this is the question, the. very question, which is j now pending before the people upon the result I of the presidential election. Our political enemies disguise the question, j They dure not present it as it is. If they ran continue this deception it may be fatal to our ! existence as a nation, if it brings those into j power who are determined to do that which will force a separation of this Fnion. We, therefore, warn our American brethren of the North that they are thus artfully practised up on by designing are leading them on j under false pretences, and who seek, power at j the price of civil war, and the destruction of (he government. We ask them to pause before 1 they cross the Rubicon the last line of demar- ; cation that secures the peace, tin- safety, and the i independence of the respective States.— Wash ington Union. j I Fearful Ride down a Spur of the. JUleghnny Mountains.—Jt Stage ( pact—Perilous Situa tion and Miraculous Escape from Death. [From the Richmond Whig, Sept. G.] On the morning of the 24-th u!t., at half-past two o'clock, a party, twenty-one in number, left the White Sulphur Springs for the terminus of the Central Railroad. All went on pleas antly until about one o'clock in the day, and shortly after commenced the descent ol Morris mountain, when it became alarmingly apparent to the passengers in the advance coach that the horses were running away; and to increase their terror the driver was seen rolling in the dust. The horses, tints left unchecked, went dashing on in their tr.ad career, the coach reel ing from side to side under its heavy top load, jf Look to the Question as it Is. J* It is every way proper that we should not, '(•under the influence ofthe excitement ofthe hour, forget the simple issue and the plain facts jof ttie political contest in which we are enga , j ged. Our enemies—we do not call them rivals i -—have evaded the issue and perverted the (acts. We will very briefly refer to them. The question before the public to he settled j by the present presidential election is, when re duced to the simplest form, the equality of (he States in their rights and powers. Human nature is precisely now what it has been in all ages. We have it in the example ; before us. Ambitious men with us, bent on ! getting power, indifferent as to the means, and reckless of the consequences, have art fully rnis j represented the whole case. They have been unwilling to trust their countrymen with the truth. A swift judgment they know would be passed against litem. The people everywhere jin our country prefer to do right in regard to j all political questions, rather than inflict wrong I and injustice. They have a great stake in the : former: benefits to he derived from it in the ! present and the future, and serious mischiefs to apprehend from the latter. They have no I pampered appetite for office—-no diseased ambi tion tor power. The safety and security of j their homes, the prosperity of their private in- ; terests, the protection of their lives, their lib- ; ertv, and their property, form tire chief end of; every thought and act which they devote to the ! ; public iuteresi. This may be fairly stated to be j 1 the object of the people in the choice of a Pres ident. They can have no malign motives. It i. because of all this that the abolitionist, who j is against the Bible and against the equality of, the States, and that the black republican, who I seeks the same political ends, will not state the truth before tire people, but re.-ort to low and ! despicable perversions. What is no less sig nally true in (he conflict in which we are now 1 engaged is, that the ambitious leaders of the party to which we refer, when the case is sta ted so as to make out the truth plainly, when the facts charged against them are proven, when they are taken in the commission ofthe j very offences of which we say they are guilty, with a hardihood for which the reprobate ofthe t stocks and of the prison is peculiarly distin guished, they deny everything, and set about to reconstruct their false distortions, with more intense zeal and redoubled ingenuity. It is in this state ol the contest, therefore, that we have slated simply the question which is really now submitted to the people, ft is one of political life or death to our country.— We will prosper or may perish by its decis ion. first upon the two wheels nearest the precipice' and tiien inclining to an opposite direction, un i (d 't was at last thrown violent !v over, mang . | ling, bruising and crushing the limbs ofthe ter rified passengers, killing one horse, and break , nig tiie leg of another. To add to the confusion , of the scene, the horses which were not disa bled, continued to drag the wreck over the ground, while the occupants were indiscrimi i nately piled up and unabl- to help themselves. ,| The thrilling incidents which followed are thus described by a passenger : I could neither speak nor move to help my self, being completely paralyzed with horror, though I could see distinctly all that was going an. Two or three persons were on top of me, ] and I verily believed that all my companions : were killed. At this critical moment the reftr coach came dashing down the mountain as if in hot pursuit. A young man who occupied a deck seat leaped off without waiting for the hor ses to slacken their speed, and hastened to our assistance. Jumping upon the upturned coach, he extricated the only ladv passenger, and call ing a Mr. Davis to aid him, supported her to a seat iu the coach they had left. Leaving her under the charge of some ladies, he returned to tlie rescue of others. 1 have since learned that the name of this noble hearted young gentleman is Morrison, a resident of New York. He had j under his care three ladies—Mrs. Huger and : two Misses Huger,of South Carolina, who also I rendered efficient service in administering to 1 the necessities of the wounded. Mr. Morrison seemed to he the only gentleman present who j was equal to the emergencies ofthe occasion.— He gave directions in a prompt and decisive manner, and but for his energy I veriiv believe nothing would have been done for our relief. \Vater was asked for to bathe llw head of the I wounded lady, and the reply was that none i could be obtained. Mr. M. at once found a broken demijohn of sulphur water in the coach, and from it procured a sufficient quantity to an- ; swer the purpose. It was found impossible at that time to get by with the pear stage, as two of our horses were killed, one having had his brains dashed out and the other a leg broken ; the throat of the latter being afterwards cut to put an end to his sufferings. The task was at length com pleted, and we reached the hotel, a mile helow, where everything was done hy the* proprietor, Mr. Woodward, and his assistants, to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded. Here, too, Mr. Morrison's suggestions were of great value.— He succeeded in having a boy moon ted upon a horse,and despatched a message to Dr. Crump, at the Hot Springs, and another to the agent of the line for tin extra coach : and the prompt ness with which they responded In the call was soon apparent. In an almost incredibly short space of time they were seen coming at toll speed, in a buggy, and an extra coach follow ing at the same iate. V\ ilh regard to the wounded, I may state that J (idee I i v seemed to he more severely lilts t than any one else, his injuries being mostly a hont the head. A hoy, whose name I under stood to be (lay, from Staunton, was delirious from the e/lects of a very severe contusion on the left temple. One ger.tleman, said to lie from Norfolk, ha I both hands and arms diead fiilly mashed and one eye severely cut. The lady passenger, who was travelling under the charge of Judge Fry, had a severe cut over one eye, and her left arm very much bruised. I was hurt internally. All, however, are doin< T well, and will no doubt recover. From the N. V. Freeman's Journal ami Catholic Register. RELIGION AS A POLITICAL TEST. We,e it not disgusting, it would amuse us to see the savageness ol the contest that has been waging for months between the two know nothing parties on the subject of the religion of the candidate of one of them. Jt w as, certain- ly, of the nature of a farce that an out-and-out know-nothing faction should have selected for j their presidential candidate not only the son of a foreigner, but one who, until recently, was looked upon hv his friends and associates as a Catholic. The party known as Choctaws, North Americans, or anti-slavery know-not h j ings, offered Mr. Fremont their nomination, and 1 he formally accepted it, having avowed his ; sympathy with most of their principles, and his purpose to carry them out, il he could be elect ed. According to the New York Times, a Fre mont paper, this convention, which thus nomi nated Mr. Fremont, w as composed of those who "bolted from the American (know-nothing) na tional council and nominating convention in Philadelphia, by reason of the admission therein of delegates representing a Roman Catholic constituency—thus taking the most decided po sition as anti-Roman Catholics, and still main taining that position." Yet, as if to illustrate how utterly profligate in principle kriow-noth ingism is, and how necessarily self-stultifying, they take as their candidate a man supposed to be a Catholic. Having selected such a one for their candi date, the next curious step is the attempt to make out—not that' Mr. Fremont had given up being a Catholic—not that he was now a Pro testant, or of no religion—a thing possible in itself, plausible moreover, and which he cer tainly has the political right to do without be ing politically questioned about it—but that he never had been a Catholic, never had eo pro fessed himself-—this is, we think, the most audacious attempt on the credulity of the A merican people that has ever been tried. Had the appeal been made to the real American principle that a man's religion is not a matter on which he ought to submit to questioning — however contradictory this might lie to the in quisitorial dicta of the know-nothings—their inconsistency would have found some to pardon it. But the attempt to make the public swal low so absurd a story as that Mr. Fremont did not for vears profess himself a Roman Catholic, and nothing but a Roman Catholic, has artu tuallv something in it hardly one step from the Freedom of Thought and Opinion. FRIDAY MORNING, BEDFORD, PA. SEPT. 26, 1856. Hear what Pope Gregory save about the slave-trade and those who deal in slaves. Hear his anathemas denounced on ail those who in anv wav countenance slavery! inclu ding, of coiuse, these who, by voting lor Buch anan or Fillmore, uphold the infamous traf fic! Read Pope Gregory's hull! The Catholic clergy in America entirely ignoring or losing sight of the above document, issued only a lew yea is ago, it remains lor Protestants to publish the same for the benefit of all true Catholics, none of whom would care to vote for Buchan- an or Fillmore after reading this proclamation of his Holiness. They would rather vote lor John C. Fremont, w ho is pledged to prostrate "the slave oligarchy"' 1 and to extend the area of freedom. Fremont and Dayton clubs can be supplied with the above bull, illustrated by a handsome cut of the Pope, surrounded by his cardinals, engaged in the work of freeing a slave from his chains: in addition to other suitable matters, such as Daniel O'ConneU's views on slavery also those of other celebrated Irishmen, together with a map show ir.g up, in suitable colors, the free and slaves States of the f'nion ; all pub lished tog-ther in an eight-page tract, which should be scattered broadcast among American Catholics. It is a knock-down argument, and must have a l lling effect on that class of voters. Will be read v on the 10th of September. Thousands of copies have been already order ed. Send early.

Nothing can possibly be finer than that. Its cool, complacent effrontery is unmatchable. It is only very lately that some of Mr. Fremont's warmest supporters were in favor of restricting the political rights of Catholic citizens, ani af fected to doubt whether they, as Catholics, could reallv preserve a true alhgiance to the country. Presto! and the scent* changes; now Catholics are colled upon to ekct Fremont '*) suhlimp. There is a relieving feature in this unpleas ant business. It is that while there are scores of men who, hy personal intercourse with Mr. 'Fremont in other days, are in a condition to give the most conclusive testimony—and marry oi these are hostile to Mr. Fremont politically v—not one of them of any character has been found to violate the rights of private intercourse, or the political privilege of religious liberty, so much as to be induced to publish a word on the subject. The unseemly contest has been left to the two know-nothing factions to dispute be tween themselves, the one set averring—what Mr. Fremont does not, with his own words, aver—that he has never professed himself a Bo man Catholic ; the other set asserting that he has not ceased to be a Catholic hut is playing some dark an:! mysterious part for the accom plishment of Catholic designs on the country.— lhe two sets are well matched. It would he a pity to interfere with them. But we must insist on their letting alone the good name of the Catholic priesthood. It will not do for the friends of Mr. Fremont to ma lign falsely tlie characterot the good old Jesuit Father Van Horseigh, who married him. Respect for the memory of a good priest, now deceased, will one day compel the overhauling ofthe coarse charges of tire Tribune that he had no re gard to the requirements of his sacred office.— The same kind of gross impropriety has been practised with a Catholic priest still living.— The Rev. Mr. Olivetti, of Whitehall, in the di ocese of Albany, has been frnmpted through the country as having declared that he knew Mr. Fremont to be a Catholic, and that he meant to vole for him on that account, and that he had five hundred men in Fssx county whom he would make vote for him also. Mr. Olovet ti has felt it proper to give a formal denial to this tissue of absurdities in a local paper a! Whitehall. He says that lie knows nothing about Mr. Fremont's religion—how should he '( —that he lias not had time to l<nrn the merits of political parties in this country, and does not intend to vote at all, having enough to do with the discharge of his clerical duties. As to the rt*l**nn•> office hundred men that were waiting fur his ward to vote, it is hard to think that such stories ran be believed by anv one. Catholics understand perfectly well their rights,and their inilirif/unl responsibilities as citizens, and do not exercise their citizens' privilege at the dic tation of any man. lint the Catholic conscience in such matters, its liberty and its dignity, is a thing not to be understood by know-nothings, who bind themselves to do blindly of the knights that carry the dark lantern fur their party. Meanwhile, a* the know nothing faction that sustains Mr. Fremont repels as fatal to his pros pects the charge of "his leaving for years been known as a Catholic, and the know nothing faction that opposes him maintains that he is still a Catholic at heart, arid only a Protestant forthe nonce, till after election, it gratifies its to witness the profound disgust with which a last proportion of the community view this in decent discussion. Like the fictitious issues made op in the old courts to test a principle by an assumed trial between John Doe and Richard Roe, we believe that the effect of this vile con test between the two setts of know-nothings will he tu bani-h fiom future contests all inquis lorial searches into the religious piofessions of political candidates. Rlark-Stfpublican Impudence. Under the head of impudence, the Catholic Register and Freeman's Journal has the follow ing : We think we ought to help the circulation of the following political gem, by giving it a gra tuitous advertisement : A CAMPAIGN TRACT! !! Catholics, .Mention ! ! \ President, to "prostrate oligarchies," and des - troy negro slavery at the bidding of a former s Pope of Rome. According to these silly tractarians, the Cath > jolics (or some of them, at least) are not at all f* troubled with the common faculty called a >" memory: and the same political adventurers i who have just tried, and just failed, to establish , an oligarchy over the Catholic citizens, can in > stantly thereafter whistle up Catholic voters,to ? go, at tlieii upon a wild hunt against i the rights ofson|K)lher portion of the peopleoi' - the United States. t JThat the Pope of Rome has, at anv time, de , clarM that there is any sin in living under tlie • constitution of this country, and in fully carry -1 ing out and defending every one of its com ; promises and provisions, is a falsehood too gla • ring to render service even in an insane out break ol party spirit. In maintaining thein i tegiity of this I nion, the Catholic citizen needs not the impertinent advice of anv mad fact ion ist, and, in forming his opinion upon political duty, he can easily afford to dispense with the advice of hot-headed and empty-headed bigots and sectarians. Is a White 75an a-* isood ax a I¥t> gro ! The Question of Superiority Settled. It would appear, by the following paragraph from the Martinsville Monitor, that the black republicans of indiana have settled in their minds the question as to the relative su periorly of the black and white races, which,: after long studv, Mr. Union-sliding Banks was unable to decide upon. The incident related j occurred at a Fremont barbacue in Morgan county ; "The most characteristic part ofthe whole affair occurred at the table. A mechanic, who had hitherto been a strong Fremont man, was on the ground with his wife and child. At a i given-word he attempted to cross the rope to the table, but was met by one of tlie marshals and told to stand back and give room lor the ladies. He stepped back as lie was to id, when seven or eight women, 'AS BLACK AS THE j A( - OF SFADI:S,' advanced be fore him to the table, and ate with the rest of the Fremont la- : dies and gentlemen. This was too much for him. ; He tore tlie Fremont'badge from his breast, and swore that, although he was a poor mechanic, he was yet a little better than a negro. He said that if he and his wife v\> re to be thrust back from a Fremont barbecue to give place to negroes, he no longer was a Fremont man, and immediately stamped the Fremont badge under his feet, and declared his intention to *ote for Buchanan. \\ e are informed that fOr or five others Aid likewise. It isaid that not less than twenty negroes ate at the first table."' From the Philadelphia Xews. >ep*. 10. XEGKO FBK3IO.\TEKS OS THE STI3IP. We learn that a hurley negro i< now engag ed traversing the interior of the State, and ma king stump speeches in favor of Col. Fremont. Ttiis is practical amalgamation, and affords but another illustration of the truth of the charge that Black Republicanism is but an l.'. r name for Abolitionism. Jn .New York, we Rain, Fred. Douglas, whose paper is the Nn ting Re publics!) supporter of .Mr. Fremont in Western New York, has taken th" stun p, and will (i!i appointments from now until the election. He delivered two addresses before the Republican Fremont Clubs of Otisco, Onondaga County, some seventeen ftiiles from Syracuse. Jn bis remarks, lie stated that he would soon er, with Banks, let the Union Hide, than thai Mr. Fremont should be defeated : and that am Republican should prefer losuppoit Fremont, knowing him lo be a Roman Catholic, and a gainst the extension of slavery, than to uite for a Protestant who was not known to be pledged to the North, as against the South. He was careful to "curse" the stars and stripes, as he has frequently done, and avoided his usual ! it- ! ?er denunciations of the Constitution and the ■ Union. It is evidently his study to follow the example of Weed, Ciddings and his other co-la borers, and to conceal his real sentiments until after election. The Falsehoods of William V. Huberts. the Lieutenant-Governor of Kansas under the. bogus Topeka Constitution. Two of the mercenaries travelling our State at the present time are the so-called Gov. Rou i:nrs, who holds his commission under the To peka Constitution—a Constitution framed by a public meeting in Kansas which ronicssedly does not represent even the people whom it purports to represent and a man bv the name ut HOI.LIDAY, who also boasts of a sounding ti tle derived Iron, the same doubtful authority. ROBERTS got himself mto a scrape in Frank lin, \ enarigo County, the other day, by alle ging that he had called upon the Pennsylvania delegation at tlie Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, and implored them to do something to bring pence to Kansas, an accusation which the Hon. An. NOLO PirMrit nailed to the counter as a false coin, in a conversation with Roberta himself, making Roberts admit that the cLaree was without a shadow of foundation. Roberts has misrepresented the Toombs Pac ification Bill in the Senate and the circumstan ces attending its passage. He claims to have pointed out objections to its details to Senator Bigler and others v\ hicli were not removed, and that it the bill had become a law on account of this omission, it would have made Kansas a Slave State. We have the best authority for saying that the only delect pointed out bv Mr. Roberts was that the penalties against interfe ring with the elective franchise were too light, and after this suggestion they >r- made en tirely satisfactory, He said to numerous per sons that a hill allowing bono file citizens to de cide the question would make Kansas a Free TERII*, PER lEAR.

Hitler and others in Washington, that : nine-tenths of the people in Kansas were for a i ree State ; that tl)e principal troubles in Kan sas proceeded iron* bad men in both parties, and men without interest in the Territory, and he did not hesitate to denounce to these gentlemen some of the Free State party as fanatical and unprincipled. With what propriety caD such a man say it was intended by the Toombs bill to make Kansas a Slave State ? For if Gener al Cass and others believed his statements they certainly had no such intention themselves. In this connection, and in confirmation of | what we have said, we ask our readers to per j use the following statement of John McCarthy and John Roberts, oflhiscitv.

WM. ILGLKR. ESQ. —DEARSJJI: My attention has been called 'oa conversation with Mr. Wm. Y. Roberts, formerly of Pennsylva nia, and now of Kansas, which took place in the carson the 7th of June last, on our return Irom the Cincinnati Convention, and on the route between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Mr. Wm. V. Roberts, Mr. John McCarthy, Mr. John Roberts and myself, were seated to gether, and in giving us a detailed history of tile state of affairs in Kansas, he unreservedly declared it as his conviction, that all the troub les in that country were to be attributed to trie violence and misconduct of a few ultraists, and evil disposed persons, belonging to both par ties. He detailed at length, the doings of ma ny of the extremist.-—and among the rest, most positively asserted, "that a o-itain E. W. Brown, Editor of the Kansas 1 Herald. of Frce dor.-if an Abolition paper—was the very worst man in the Territory"—"that he, by I;is in- Jiamatorv writings, and violent a'qusp," had done more to produce discord and retard the : prospects and interests of the Territory, than all the pro-slavery nen in it—and further, "that ; his thpariurc from the Territory and the sup ' pr-o -i.-n of U> taper, would not only have a tendency to promute harmony and peace—but would be hailed with joy, by nearly al' the real, bonafide settlers, whether pro-slavery or lree state men." He also further admitted thai many ofthose claiming in belong to the Free State party had emigrated to the Territory from the East, mere ly f>r the purpose of controlling its inhabitants and flections, without anv serious intention to become bona tide residents thereof. At the same time, h to k occasion to censure the Em grnnt Aid Societies, for sending out large num ber- oi men, a; the eost of the societies: and without a dollar in their pockets on their arri val, to maintain limm until they could find em ployment. He argued that such was not tb • way to build up a prosperous Territory, or to secure the ends they ought lostrive for. He also claimed that the em otion of lahd lo cations and town .io with the speculations in cident thereto, h;:;} much to do with the early troubles in the Teni-ory; that it fieqnpntly led to angry debates and broils between men from the Northern and Southern States, in as a matter of course, the friends oi' the different parties soon became warm partisans: find this had contributed as much to create an angry and excii :i feeling as the question of slavery. Another point he distinctly avowed, was "his belief that it thev were left alone to tiler?- selves, and agitation in the East and South put asf 11 In, thev could ard would soon settle their difficulties in a qubt and peaceable manner, and, moreover, with but little -or no risk of Kansas becoming a slatt <*ate.
