SPEECH OF SENATOR BIGLER.
At the request of a number of our Democrat
ic friends, we publish in this issue, the unan
swerable speech on Kansas affairs, lately de
livered in the U. S. Senate, by our distinguish
ed Senator, HON. WM. BIGLEK. Barren of
those rhetorical flourishes which serve to ex
cite, rather than to convince—aiming at noth
ing but a simple statement of the fr uth —devoid
of all special pleading and unfairness —it is an
argument that fully and forcibly vindicates the
policy for which it contends. The weight of
Senator Bigler's effort is felt sensibly by the
mongrel opposition to the Democratic party-
They know his power and fear it, and hence
the vile calumniation and abuse which they
heap upon him. But it matters not how much
bitterness they expend upon him, he occupies
firm ground—such as will never give under
him—while the foundations his opponents build
upon shall vanish like the baseless fabric of a
dream. VVe commend the speech to the atten
tion of our readers, hoping that every one of
Ihem will read it thoroughly and carefully.
LETTER 0E HON. J- S- BLACK-
The views of Judge Biack, on the Kansas
question will be found in our columns this week.
The letter of this distinguished s in of Pennsyl
vrriia, comes to us like an old friend in whom
our confidence has never been misplaced. Jt
hews down the sophistry of the opponents of
the Administration, like some g-im Crusader ol
old cleaving asunder the Saracen's skull with
his battle-axe. It completely' unhorses the
Don Quixotes who have seen til to array them
selves against the wise and Democratic policy j
of James Buchanan. L-t every one into whose ;
hands this number of our paper may come, give j
it a calm and careful perusal, is is briet and to :
the pom! and no Democrat should fail to read i>,
coining as it does from one whom we all well
know to be honest and trustworthy, and whose
lofty intellect has rnoie than once shed light up
on the principles cheiished by the Democratic
party.
SHIN PLASTERS, Elf?
The Abolitionists sav that the Treasury Note
Bill which Congress lady parsed, authorizes
the erection of a bank, and that the notes which
the Secreiary ot the Treasiuy is about to issue, I
are "shinplasters." This, th-y say, .shows that j
the I) emocratic party is' not sincere in its oppo- j
sifion to banks. Now, in our humble opinion,
the Abolitionists ought to be ashamed even to
mention this subject. It is to pay theextrav. I
V 1 <>eMs corlract-i bv their speculntt 7lg Con- j
greys, that these Treasury notes are issued. In j
order that the evil deeds of (hat Congress may j
not bring further rii-grace upon the country, the 1
present ( .ingress has been compelled to resort ■
to this measure. Nor will such a flimsy lie as I
that of saving that the Treasury Note Bill au
thorizes a bank and the issue ol "Government j
slunp.asters, cover up the iniquity and wrong j'
perpetrated by corrupt and unscrupulous Abo- • '
hiiorus'.s in the last Congress. The Treasury
Note* are nothing more than common prori<isi- j
ry notes, payable, with interest (whoever heard
of interest being paid on "shin plasters?) on the
first ol January, 1859. They are just such notes
as too, dear reader, would give (d you had no
mon-y) to the creditors of a false friend who
had cheated you into the payment of his debts.
That i ike friend, in the case of th- General Gnv
nmerit, was the Abolition partv,arid the people
knew it, too, when they hurled it out of power.
"TARIFF! TARIFF!!"
It is enough to disgust the most inveterate
demagogue, to hear the Abolitionists crying
out for a "high taiitf." Why in the name of
shovel ploughs didn't they trv to establish a
'•high tariff " u hen the v had the control of Con
gress, if they consider it a measure of so much
importance to the country ? Why, if thev be
lieve trie doctrine they are now preaching, tlirl
they lower Ike duties imposed by the Democntt
ic tariff of 1546.' Why did tnev support for j
Governor, at the last election, It e bitterest and
most uncompromising anti-tariff man in the U
nion.' Instead of agitating the subject of a
"high taiifj, ' when in the last Congress they
had a solid working majority, they consumed
their tune m tigh ting about "Bieeciing Kansas"
and in settling for bribes with railroad compa
nies to which they had made extravagant grants
of public lands. Instead of raising the dirties
authorized by the Democratic Revenue Tariff of
lbtb, they lt, Vfrt d (hem, so that now {he Gov
rn,J" '* con, pefied to give its paper in pav- ,
Abolition d*btfi, lht*re not being a sul
revenue. Instead of supporting a "for- '

. W :N.CA\ IT BE AMENDED?
-stlon is sometimes asked in refer
ence tot {jjJjompton Kanuts Constitution. We
answer ! at any timenfter fhe admission
of the I t" or y ;„/ 0 the Union. The very doc
trine on v <ak'"V. Walker builds up his theory
of PopuldGWi-eigntj, sustains this declaration,
i'e says ti sovereignty cannot be delegated:
hence, the r) pj e are nf)t bound by the action
of their de ates; hence the L-compton Con
stitution amended, or abolished
by the peop whenever they see proper. The
Bill of Righ attached to this much abused

FAias NEWS-
The election onMoj t u lt., resulted in fa
vor of the slavery 'us,-, owing to tlie fact that
the Abolition I ree men under the coinniand
ol Jim Lane -N. Co., A not vote. There was a
considerable vote the Free State
Democrats and are honestly in favor
ol making Kansas a C ytale. The Abolition
ists have lot feitrd tne .jp,.ft of all honorable
men, by not v>tirjg tjtlie slavery question
when the opportunity 3S thus presented them.
It shows that they war |Q see Kansas a slave
State, *so that lh-*v ca another outcry
against the Democratic my. The Abolition
banditti under the centre !of Lane and Robin
son are in op-m rebelli .gainst the Govern
ment. Ihe I nited Sta! Afarshal, when in
lhe discharge of his oliigl dutv, was fired
upon by them and danger ejy wounded. They
also swear that they will i a : s t the U. S. D.a
goons, if sent against have had a
fight with the pro-slaverv i-n in which two of
the latter were killed. Suq|,e the 01-11 that
are clamorous for a submission-, them of "the
whole Constitution !" Tiier Jno excitement
in Congress on the Kansas affairs.
The prospect is that tfie a^| f ,rs will meet
with a cool reception in thatbo dv. There is
no news from tlie election 1 the 4th inst.
Doubtless, the decision of that d on the 121 st

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Gift.-, horn a people to the minister who labors
among th*-m. expressive of their attachment to
him, are atwavs gratefuHv received. Thev are
valuable to linn not only on account of their
intrinsic worth, hut also, and especially because
of the assurance they convey that his lab rs aie
kindly received, and that notwithstanding his
frailties, which are common to our poor human
ity, they are mindful ol the apostolic direction—
"we beseech von brethien to know them which I
labor among you, and are over vou in the Lord,
and aim >ni-h yon : to esteem them very
highly in love for their work's sake." Then
is another consideration, less selfish, which
causes the faithlol mi nister to rejoice in th* j
lecepsihi of wilts from the peopleo| his charge j
which is that if in the bestow rnent of these they j
have been actuated by christian principles, they
will be repaid a thousand fold bv the great (lead j
of the Church, w ho said, in the da\ s of his IKgli ;
that whosoever gave to one of his disciples a
cup of cold water only because he u as a disciple,
should in nowise lose his reward.
I he wt iter o! this communication, the Pastor
of the Presbx terian church in Bedford, since
lie came among the kind peopled his present
pastorate, has recieved burn them rr.anv and .
valuable gilts. As lie has made a practice of
keeping a memorandum ol ail prest n's, the
name of the giver, when know n, and the pecu
niary value of the gift, it is not mere conjecture
when he says that these have been almost equiv
alent to the one third of his veariv salary. Re
cently he has received largely in the way of
provisions and clothing for liimselfand family,
and desires through the Gazelle to acknowledge
with gratitude these expressions of kindness, i
since he cannot do i! per tonally, many things |
having been recieved from sources yet unknown. ,
