[port School Directors. frlgi:.4:/.1141;t1)114 , 13t41/8)44 Last week we bad the pleasure of announcing to our readers the elec tion of Henry WilsOn to the Senate of the United States. Mr. Wilson being an agitator of "Tthe ablest and most untiring stamp. This election is everywhere hailed with joy by the friends of freedom, and carries dismay into the ranks of hunkerism. This week we have news of a still more stirring character. William H. Seward, the higher law man, for whose overthrow all the allies of slavery have been at work for so long a time, is reelecmd to the Senate of the United States for six years from the fourth of March next. Bia better still, the Hon. Charles Durkee, one of the. old Liberty guard, who can neither be bribed nor fright ened into acquiescing in any of the schemes for slavery aggression, 18 oleeterl from Wisconsin for six years. This is glorious news, and• is an indi cation more hopeful than any we have 'had the pleasure of announcing for a long time. It shows there is still a North, aiul that the people are tired of the rule of doughfaces. But there 18 yet another indication of this feeling quite as unmistakable as the election of D.urkce to the. Sen: ate.. S. M. Rooth, editor of the Mil waukee Free Democrat, who was lately convicted of doing a "most hu mane act" which violated the fugitive slave bill, and sentenced . to a fine• of one thousand dollars, and thirty days' imprisonment, has been, discharged from the imprisonment and fine, by the Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin; on the ground that the fugitive slave bill is unconstitutional. This is the beginning of a Revolution, more important to the liberties of the people, than the one commenced in 1775 by throwing a- cargo of tea into Boston harbor. Let every man do something 11.)r liberty in this contest, and the struggle will soonfind a glorious- termination. Reader, what have you done or fried to do, to fur ther the cause of Republicanism? Since writing the above we have received the most gratifying intelli gence, that the lion. Lyman Trumbull has been elected Senator from Illinois in place . of General Shields, who sup ported the Douglas fraud. Thus have the people triumphed over party dem agogues. Tus does the tramp 'of freedom asset t the triumph of Repub lican principle's, and the overthrow of the Slave Power. COUDERSPORT, February S, To the Editor - s ,f the People's Journal: In your columns of to•dn• appears a com munication entitled " 11. 11. Dent vs. The Census,"which it is assumed that I ant editor of the Highland Piariot, and the author of an editorial article appearing in a recent number of that newspaper. I am not the editor of the Hiohland Patriot,: as you well know; and have no more interest therein titan any subscriber friendly to 'its success, and the success of the young,geutle , man who is its editor. Nor had lat knowl edge of the article in its columns. iticribed to' toe, until it teas in print and accysible to the . public. This is not the first time ytip/have giyen to the public statements, destitute of truth, and clearly intended to wounki my feelings and character. I request that you will abstain from doing me this injustice again, anti that you will publish this correction of the particu lar errors' to which I have referred. lam willing to be responsible for every word writ- - ten or spoken by me, but no further. Ea' It gives us no pleasure to say that we think the above note will not add io the reputation of the writer, in this county. Mr. Dent says this is not the first time we have given to the public statements "destitute of truth;" to which we reply, The public are better judges of that matter than he is; and we are in no fear of any com parisons he may choose to make. . Our correspondent "Filer," in come thou with a majority of his neighbors, believed that IL H. Dent was the real editor of the Patriot, and we permitted him to say through our columns what he thought. We very cheerfully per mit-Mr: Dent to deny the statement; and we then leate the matter with the single 1 emark, that any man of sense who talks five minutes with " the young gentleman" alluded to, will know that he writes very few of the editorials of the paper of which he is nominally the editor, and that half an hour's talk N . vith Mr. Dent will con vince most men that he does write a good many of . them, JONATHAN When the writer uf .the above note shall show by his conduct that s he respects the feeling and character'of others, he will find no one this community to wound his own. SHALL KANSAS BECOME A SLAVE MITET- There are not a . hundred tnen in this county who are willing to see Slavery extended. ,We think ,„there are not half that number. But a large number, of those .who desire to oppose the extension of slavery, have been deceired into voting 'for it. They were told time- and again that slavery would not go to Kansas. Now that it is there, the leaders of sham democracy are as silent apout it as if it was a matter of no consequence. Will the people open their eyes to the game of decep 7 cion that has been played on them ? • We shall. See Four Southern members of , Congress ad dressed a letter to Gen. B. F. STAISGFELLOW, a Missourian of note, containing these enqui ries: Will Kansas be a slaveholding State'? Is Slave labor profitable in Kansas? Is it . safe to take slaves to Kansas now These questions are fully answered by Gen. Stringfellow, and that answer Messrs. Brooks and McQueen -of S. C., Clingman of N. C., and Wm. Smith of Va.—the members of Con gress referred to—have caused to be pub lished, with the single vi, w pf stimulating emigration fr , An the stave States. The reply of Gen. Stringfellow is too long for our columns, but the fol lowing is sufficient for our purpose:. '3. Is it safe to take shires to liansas.nme? or this there can be no doubt. They are less likely to escape than front Missouri; are further front the underground railroads and hidin ,, places of the Abolitio n ists; while the people-of the Territory are more on the alert, and watch more closely those who would steal them. From the law there can be no danger. Slaves are now, and have been - for years, in the Territory, so that slavery, in fact, is al ready established. 1 need not say to , yomthat no lawyer, unless he be an abolitionist, will pretend that any positive law .is necessary to' make slavery legal. Laws have been passed recognizing its-exist , nee after it had an exist ence but never to establish it . before it ex- . isted. It has been abolished, not by the repeal of laws establishiwt or permitting it, but by 'laws positively and expressly prohibiting it. Without such prohibitory laws, it would now exist in every State in the Union. Until such laws are enacted by some competent legisla tive power, slavery is legal . in Kansas. Such lairsicill nem. Le enacted! Whatever might have been the result, if abolitionists had not atiempted to force the people of the -Terri tory, their movements have fixed the "fact.' They cannot harm us now.. See what comes of repealing the Missouri Compromise. The slavehold ers are publicly boasting that they have got possession of Kansas and will keep it; and yet:every Adminis tration-democrat is as silent as death about it. They mean, and have meant from the start, to devote Kansas to slavery... If the people of 'the free States do not unite, and that soon, for the defeat. of this infamous scheme; it will be successful. Let every free State unite in saying, no more slave States shall be admitted into the nion, and slavery extension will stop, other wise it will continue until this nation will be entirely under the control of the lords of the lash. The Every-Day Workings of Slavery As there are a few men in this county who think the people can be bought into submission, to the role of Slavery, we shall now and then let our readers see what arc the legitimate fruits of placing one class of human beings in the absolute power of another class. The advertisements in south ern newspapers have always been a faithful picture of Slavery. In the Boston Telegr.aph of Feb. 2, .we find quite a number of choice specimens; which that paper selects from the New-Orleans pc/fit. We have room for only the ibllowing: A family of negroes, consisting of a woman, 40 years of age, a spkmdid Cook, Washer. and Ironer, and her fliree Children, viz; ; a dark mulatto Girl, about 16 years of age, a: most excellent Nurse,.and good Seamstress, and accustomed to all kinds of housework; also a Girl, about 16 years of age, a good House. servant ; also a boy, about II years of age. The above family Of neeToes will be hilly' guaranteed. They are slaves of excel lent character, and are sold only from neces sity. A bargain will be given to any one who will boy the family together. ' Also, a very likely mulatto' Man, about 74. years of age, a first-rate dining roon and general house servant—fully acclimate . Such servants are but seldom offered for - e. • Apply to H. T. GREEN 00D, • 47 Caro elm street. • The Telegraph colynients on this "rare chance" asfo ows :. 13 21 Mr. Greenwood, - u are mistaken. Such servants are often pi ered for sale, if we . may . believe the ady4rtisements.in the Southern papers: Sold only from necessity, indeed! Whose neee4itv I Who is this great lubberly GreenWood,unil by what title does be relieve his eiubarrasgments in this way? Who gave him the right to dispose of this splendid cook, vt:asher,and, ironer, this excellent nurse and good seamstress, this good house-servant and this yOung lad! Will Greenwood's neigh bor's give him any such recommendation as he gives this family he is going to sell? Is he a "splendid" or "excellent" anything 1 Is he not a their, who, after sealing the labor of this . finnily for years, now sells them to pay his debts withal ? This Greenwood is a man after Dr. Adams's own heart. The Doctor, in his book, tells us of a good man who bought a girl so aslnot to separate her from her mother. Gr6en. wood on the whole prefers that his his flintily should not ln separated. lie might make a discount to any man who will take the lot. But he does not say that he will not sell them separately, if he finds' it "necessary," And he asks and expects no guarantee that the purchaser shall keep them together. There can be no such guarantee. The neessity which compels Greenwood to sell the mother and 11._11. DzNr her children, will compel the next- purchaser fis sell the nurse or the young boy away from tiib mother. Such is •the inevitable working of the system which our Congressmen think so admirrble that it must be protected and encouraged by legislative bounties:. POPTILAB SOVERKIGM'Y The Hon. Lewis Cass has said and written more on the duty of the Rep resentative to obey the instructions of his constituents, than any other man..l He also claims to be the father of the doctrine that Congress has no right to prohibit the establishment of Slavery in any territory of the United States, but that the people of the Territory may establish slavery if they choose. We shall now see whether General Cass will permit. the people of the State of Michigan to be represented in the Senate in accordance with their own wishes; whether he will stand by his own often declared - principles, obey or resign. The people of Michigan have got tired• of the rule of slavery, so they united , bit fall, without regard to for mer political dirtinctions—carried the State for freedom, and the Republican Legislature then elected have. just instructed the Senators from. that State as to the wishes of the people on the slavery'.question. We publish these resolutions for two reasons,—to•show the principles of the •Republican party, and also, that our readers may see with what facility a sham democrat will eat his own words; for nobody is ..so green as to expect that General Cass will either obey the instructions, or resign. his seat. The resolutions are as. fol lows, omittingtheex . cellent preamble: Resolved. That we are opposed to the fur-. titer extension of Slavery, or the recognition or permission thereof in any territory now owned or Wince may hereafter be acquired bY the United States. Resolved, That we hold it to be within the constitutional powers of Congress to abolish Slavery and the slave trade in all Territories of the United States and in the District of Columbia; and that it is their duty, in v of die great and permanent , intersts of the nation, to pass laws for its immediate suppres sion and extinction in all such Territories, and iu said District. • Resolved, Tliat our Senators in Congress be, and that they are hereby, instructed, and our Representatives requested, to vote for and use their best exertions to procure the passage o( an act of Congress that shall pro hibit the introduction or existence of Slavery in any of the Territories of the United States, and especially in Kansas and Nebraska, and to introduce without delay a bill for this latter purpose.. Resolved, that the acd.otCongress of 1550, known a' the Fugitive Slave Law, was, in the opinion of the people oftbis Stoto, an =tee essary mmisure; that it contains provisions of doubtful cons;:tutionality; that the mode of proceedin4 under i! harsh, unjust,. and re pugnant to the moral sense of the people of the States, cruel and despotic toward the Person claimed as a fugitive, and that we arc in fay . or of its itinnediate repeal. Resolved, That our Senators in Congress be, and tbat.they are hereby, instructed, and our Representatives requested, to use their best exertions to procure the repeal of the act of Rt.'3o, known as the Fugitive Slave Law.

BRETHREN ANITSISTERS : Engages.lßlS we are, with• the Demon of IntoxicOtion, it behooves us to 'employ all honorable and justi fiable Means for the purpose of defeating this dire enemy of our country . and our race.. The ram power is entrenched behind the forms of law, and strengthened by the interests of one portion, and the appetites and prejudices of another portion of its associates. They are united and active, crafty and unscrupulous, and will do all that desperate men, urged on by such motives, can do. There are probably yet among the better portion of theta, some by whom reason and argument are not en- . tiiely repudiated, altliongil appetite and preju dice have so blurred their moral vision and dimmed their perceptions of right, that it is very difficult—hardly possible—to reach them through this channel: but as this is the most pleasant, and with moral men the most ef fectual weapon in our armory, it should be used where there is the least hope of success. But with the.former or interested portion, with perhaps a few exceptions, reasoning is a waste of time. They are in a more hopeless condi tion than the man who could not see the word " trmli," when written and placed before hint with a dollar over it. The almighty dollar not ouly hides the truth from their organs of vision,. but they have no moral perceptions by which they may be reached. Their only vulnerable point is the pocket. The only weapon is a Prolutitory Law, with sufficient penalties, in . the shape of fines and imprisonment, for a violation of its provisions. Facts in the shape of legal precepts, in. the hands of a law officer, can reach them and -reforrtrlheir habits; if they dui not mend their morals ; and as a class, this-constitutes the real vital force and main spring 4 the ruin interest.

This, - is, as we have often declared, to fill up the Territory with emigrants not in the interest of the Slavery Propaganda. But if this fails, as it may; there is another. This is by an inflxible deter mination of the free States that Kansas shall never be admitted to this Union as a. slave State. We trust public opinion is - ripened to this end. We hope that' an invincible deteminak .lion to oppose this disastrous termina tion of the legislative Nebraka conflict, is graven in steel upon the minds of the northern - masses,sand that the -men ' in Congress who will represent them, ,when, if . ever such a question shall come to the vote, will do their duty.

In •tlic first place, then, a state of things has grown up in our Courts that should not be tolerated, in relation to the- trial of minor offences subject to indictment. Fur instance, Jack Snapfire; having received what he considers a personal affront from Tom Saucebox, tweaks Tom's nose. Tom, resenting•the in• jury done his visage, and being doubly moved by considerations of revenge, and also of being at the same time a conservator of • the public peace, ap plies to Mr. Attorney Pettifog for legal redress. The 'Squire, nothing loth, has 'process issued, Jack arrested, bound over to Court, and regularly indicted for an assault and battery. Each party having numerous friends, great clamp. ensues about the right and the wrong of the matter. A crowd of witnesses are sublurnaed by each party to appear at Court, whu attend at great inconvenience and ex pense to themselves. The case \Yin be put over several times on one pre text or another, until finally a bill of costs has accumulated that will, bring . ru'at upon whomsoever it shall fall. Moved: mainly by the necessity of . doing something, to save themselves from this dilemma, both parties, enter into the contest in earnest. Eminent counsel are employed, who, when the case comes on for trial, carefully write down all the testimony, lengthening out both the dimet and cross examina tion of witnesses to the utmost limit of their ingenuity, and dragging in very much that is entirely irrelevant, in order if possible to make the Jury lose sight of the plain fact, in the t of supposition and assumption with which they labor to surround the c;e.e. Finally, in summing up, there must be tw o sweches..on a side, of from one to three ,hours in length !
