South Carolina, came to this city anti exe cuted in the'oflice of a will, bequeathing to his wife and her heirs and asignees all 1 is property. real and personal, to the value of :150,000, consisting of two planta tions well stocked, antl from fie ty to fifty negroett. His wife, Mary Amy Turner, and children, six in number. are mulattoes, and were held by Willis as slaves.. Mr. Willis a , reed with Messrs. A. H. Ernst, Edward liar wood, and John ,Toliffe, whom he made: his executors, that they should be manumitted, and that the executors might dispose of the remainder of his ;laves at Lis death as they deemed best. Mr. Willis returned to his plantation. Yesterday morning he arrived from the South on the Jacob Strader, with his wife, her mother, and the six children. Alter securing a hack to convey the family up to the Dumas House, 'Mr. Willis, with a daughter held by each hand, approached the carriage, and was in the act of stepping in, when he was seized with a palpi 7 tation of the heart, to which ha was subject, and falling backwards, ex pired in about five minutes. Coroner Menzies held an inquest over the body, and the jury tendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Willis was about sixty years of age, a Very respectable old gentleman, and has been married to Mary Amy about thirteen years, and always manifested towards her and the children a warm affection. He has been in bad health several years, and his relatives, who reside in the Barnwell district, have frequently importuned him to give up his busi ness and travel with his family. lie left home about four weeks ago, not, as they supposed, to make said trip, but to come to this State, free his family from•slaverv, and provide them with comfot:table houses en n•ee soil. Having done this, it was his intention to return to South Carolina, settle up his affairs, and live the remainder•. of his life free from all care a-d. anxiety. Bad health for several years was an additional induceMent for him tu pur sue this conrse. - The remains of +Mr. Willis, accom panied by the family, were taken to the Dumas House.

[From the Cincinnati Coluhibian, Nay 22.] On the 23d of February, 1.554, a fine looking, corpulaut gentleman, apparently about sixty years of age, came to this city' in search of Dr. Bris bane, from whom he wished ad , ;ice as to the proper course to pursue to effect the manumission of a' number of his slaves. Not readily finding Dr. Brisbane, lie obtained the advice of John Soliffe, Esq., and had ,duplicate wills drawn up. One of these he took with him, and the other he deposited with Mr. Jolifib, to be used if he should die suddenly, and the will in his possession be accidentally or pur posely destroyed. He stated that one . of his brothers had died very suddenly, and that he hirnsClf, being sUbject_ to palpitation of the heart, was liable to he also summoned to another world at a moment's notice: REM Elijah Willis—that was his name— staid only a few days in Cincinnati, but his bright, benevolent countenance and manly frankness- were not soon forgotten by those whom circum stances had thrown into contact with him: Returning home, he drew up a complete inventory of all his property, anc irking, two of his neighbors his ontidants, he deposited this inventory. with them, to he used in case of his sudden death, at the same time making them pledge themselves nut to Make it public previously. He was largely engaged in theltim her business, and raised . no - .crops ex cept what were necessary for the support of twenty-nine full-grown slaves, and the numerous slave child ren that he owned. The lumber gut out by his slaves was rafted down the Edisto river. In this business 'Mr. Willis had amassed a large estate. He - was noted for the kindness with whin lie treated his slaves, who were never driven with the whip. nor shut nut by a lock from the stores of pro visions. They ate in the kitchen part of the same food that Mr. Willis ate in the parlor. A number of the relatives of Mr. Willis, who are all in comfortable cii cum-taPccs, lived near him, lint seldom visited his iesidence. His housekeeper was a dark. but very mulatto w'oman, whom he pur chsed with her mother. brother, and sister, about thirteen year: ago. housekeeper's name was Amy Elmore -Turner. Her father, who was owned by another master, hail deserted. her inothr, and for this was sold to a cotton planter in Alabama. . Amy, as the housekeeper was or dinarily called by Mr. Willis, while the slave of a former master, a Mr. Kirtland; had a colored husband, by whom she had three children before he was sent south. Thi woman, by her faithfulness and shrewdness, soon acquired great in fluence over Mr. - Willis, by whom she had three children. She watchfully supelintendA his domestic affairs, at tended to the wants of the slaves, and advised as to the business. feeling concerned for the future welfare of his children,.and urged thereto by Amy, at last de termined to free her, her mother, her .ix children,. her brother, and her sister. \\len he came, to Cincinnati, one year ago, and' had: his will written, it was to carry out this intent. After his return home, he arranged all his business as rapidly as possible, and taking notes of outstanding debts due him, made preparations for dis posing of his entire estate and moving to Olno, where he propoeed to locate un a farm, with Aniv, her mother; and the children. Finding that the ex pense of bringing Amy's brother and sister and their families would be considerable, and that there might. be some difficulty in at once securing a , home, Mr. :Willis concluded finally to Come north with Amy, her mother, and the children, and having .secured for them a residence, return to close up .the business and bring the others. On last Tuesday...week, Ahoy left home as thus.proposed. On reaching Louisville, they got 'on. board the steamer Jacob. Strader, and reached here at six o'clock yesterdav•mornintt. Soon after the beat touched . the whar - f, 'Mr:Willis and his company went - on Ejhoro,,and'he.called a carriage, when, just as lie -.wont to reach, one: of the small ; children irtto it, he .breathed heavily. , Amy :asked hiin:•illte boil smother attackistf4alpitation •of the heal t..

Atchison a danger ous. man, the Luminary steadily op posed his 'retilection to the United States Senate, and supported Colonel Benton. The censequences were he let loose his hireling presses upon that paper, but they got battle to their hearts' content, and retired discomfited from the field. About this time the self defensive association was. formed at Weston, but the masses put it down. D. U.- Atchison, B. F. Stringfellow, J. 'l'. V. Thomi;son, mid others, then organized a secret associittion. lam informed its members are sworn to secrecy, to turn out and 'fight when called on from head quarters, to con tribute money to carry out the objects of tins association, to share equally the damages that may accrue'from the overt acts of any of its members, and to carry these points even at the price of disunion.. They are bound not to divulge the names of Members. Thus their clan can act in concert every where at once, and lead the ted to suppose that it is the spontane ous upri•ing of the wholf; people, When they' number only a cerpr;ral's guard. \Vhen a man is pro..clihed t.liev act in concert to destroy his ha-iness and character ; and the poor man is ruined withort knolvin., , the cause. All noithern men are pro scribed and ruined in their business and Character, or driven out of the country, who do not subF.c:ibe to their most ultra doctrines. In this manner whole communities are overawed. One man said to me in - Parkville, "Times are worse here now than they were in France in the days of Robes piere ;" others said that this was the first time they were afraid to avow their real sentiments. Ne one knew' when his business would be destroyed or he be ordered out of •the country. In this way citizens arc paralyzed and subdued. • They call upon other coun ties and. St. Louis to cooperate and carry on the work. Unscrupulous— they use • any means to accomplish their purposes. Thus this secret en gine of bell is at work undermining the foundations of all social order, of confidence and public honor. Emissaries have been through the South to organize these associations. One Harvey was sent into Texas last winter, endorsed .and recommended by twenty-three members of the Mis souri Legislature. From what I could learn his mission proved a failure: I heard of . but nine Members in the State. He was anxious to return to Jefferson 'City when last heard from. McGee of Jacksbn county, was travel ing in Arkansas on the same mission. Lycurgus Shepherd of Platte county, said to me a few days since * " that the whole South was organizetithat they had decreed the destructibn of every Benton press in the State, and a por tion .of •the'Whig,presses ; • that they could command any amonnt of men at a motnent'S warning, and millions of money-that , fiVe hundred thousand dollars were subscribed at Missouri-- that: the deitruction of the hotel at Kansas, and presses at Lawredce; had been decreed—that they had taken cannon along to damOlish them from a:distance, so as not to be blown up . by the kegs of powder said to be un der the building—they would not Atop until every free seller and abblitionist Was "driven out 'of Missouri and Kan sas—they' Were p . repared for disunion or anything." • He vas then ' j'Ltst out of a secret meeting. These secret . meetings .are • gerieralty teld • 'mice a. week, .of at the call ót their' leaderS There is no doubt but some good men are induced to join this association, and get involved-in its meshes before they understand its , objects. So by some overt act, or by bloodshed and murder; they hope gradually to 0 - et the North and South to take sides, and bring on civil war and - disunion. The nomination of D. R. Atchison fur the Presidency, is ominous. Public meetings are called at all , the promi nent points, where-B. P. Stiinglellow, J. T. V. Thompson, or uther speakers, , are generally present to make exciting speeches, and lash to fury the pas sions of the multitude. Eve - n Rey. Mr. Bete, chaplain to the army at Fort Leavenworth: left his post, and came over into Platte County, and in a public speech, urged the citi zens to extreme measures. Bible in hand, "he scouted The idea of -using honorable means in this war." H. Rich, suttler at Fort. Leavenworth, - was ready to mob the man if he did not sanction extreme measures. "He that is nut for us, is against us," is their motto; . there can be no middle ground; and they are now buty dragooning the whole community into duty. Envy, .prejudice, and interest seem mixed up and foremust in everything. : The spirit of honor, so highly lauded in the days of chivalry, is discarded by these leaders; selfishness, a desire to enjoy and appropriate the labor .of others without an equivalent, falsehood and detraction, blindness - of intellect and an infuriated passion that thirsts for blood shed and all . the horrors of civil war, no* governs in that devoted region.— May the 'Almighty God make bare his arm to save our country from ruin. The day I left Parks-Me, Captain AValla.ce was husy notifyin , citizens to leave. - I understand one lady who W teaching schpol Was ordered to close doors_ and he off. Some were some talked of defending their ponces; but they Were -threatened with thou sands of armed nice, which this secret association could collect at the shortest notice. - , . Mr. Paiterson telegraphed Gov 'ernor Sterling l't ice . at Jefferson city "that the danger was imminent," and asked protection for our livesand pro perty. None was !liven us. We then teleaTanhed to the President, hut bad received no answer when we left.— Had one. ctunpany of troops - been dered from Fort Leavenworth, nine tenths of o n e citizens Would have rallied to stiqai% the law of their • e(.lll;try. • It is a libel on the fair fame aour citizens to class them all as mobocrat: and ruilimis. The great masses are ri::11t. They are paralyzed by the cii sis so - suddenly precipitated upon them. They are not prepared 'to hang their neighbors and destroy their property, or for ,blond: heal, disunion or sudden strife. ' But when the con stituted authorities of out own country call, they \vill quickly . Siep Furth to sustain its laWs and its honor. The whole force of this secret asso ciation Was brou7ht to bear against the Drin;Rarll. They acknowledge that they could get no hold of it, and nothing was left hut brute force which they - were not willing to use, especial ly- when they numbered more than one hundred to one. Dr. Liebe of .Lea'venworth i•dormed me some time ago, that Wm. W. Miller was placed dun to Parkville to drive me off. Stringfellow and - he were so counsel ing in his presence. :FroM certain indications wo are led to believe that the destruction of the Luminary press was determined upon mouths before it was put into execution. Letters were received asking the price of our press. We offered to sell at a . reasonable price ; but no trade was consummated. J. T.l. Thompson was heard to declare' that the 'Press should be thiown into tlid - Missouri river, and its editors hung. By•the way, we had opposed the appointment -of that corrupt man to . the office of Governor of Kansas, and thereby enkindled his 'wrath.) About the Ist of March last, after Atchison had left his seat in, Congress and returned to Missouri, letters-were said to have been received . in • Park ville, signed by D. R. Atchison, stating that the State no hinger desired his services, but he had other duties to perfbrmcertain individuals,.in Park ville needed his attention. Indeed, froin that - time rumors thick ened that'the press-would bo destroy ed ; but we did not alter its tone, nor believe it till the deed was done. We -have - reason to belieVe that the money *as made up to establish the Sonihent Ermocrat on the ruins of the Luminary; and its editors spoken to belbre it vi . as'destreyed. R. S. Kelly of the ~ Squtitter Sore/Tip, received $7OO at one time, and expected more. Besides; . Atchison gets for them the , publication of the laws of the . Vnited States. Governnient pat ronage appears to be at his disposal. His servile tools, the Eranziner, Platte Argils, Spatter Sorerrign, and Kan sas Herald, are the recipients. But they are ready the moment they have obtained. all the patronage at the dis, posal of the President, to turn against him. Even now mutterings are heard. He will catch thunder the moment he disobeys them. How so sat - jail. a 'party exercise so much control I cannot conceive. A half a dozen members of the secret association, acting in concert all over the country, get up meetings, pass just, such resolutions as the leaders wain, and the impression. goes abroad that all the world and the rest of mankind are moving, when not One in twenty are favorable. to the movement. The meeting got up in Parkville, that sanc tioned the proceedings of the mob, was of this character. All g ood citizens in Parkville are opposed to the mob and their action; they did not go out to the meeting. Colonel Summers, who was wrung in as explaining.the object of the meeting,' voted against the resolutions. He advocated a res olution declaring that the citizens of Parkville consideptd their slave pro-. perty safe in• my" hands. F. IL Mc- Donald, W. 11. Miller, J. B. Ewell, are mere drones—blood-suckers on the community; they own little or no property, and haVe done nothing to build up the country; but they and a fewothers are the willing tools of their masters.

A KNOTTY TEXT.—There was :Inca anitinerant preacher in We. 4 Ten nessee, who, possessing considerable natural ctoquence, had gralually be come pus.-eased with the idea that 1 e was Ids', a great Biblical tcholar. J7nder this delusion ho would very' frequently, at the c10. , e of his sermun, ask any member of his congregation. who might have a' "knotty te:.i." to unravel. to speak it, and he wuuld plain it at once, howeyf'r much it might have troubled "less distinguished di- , vines." On this occasion, in a large audience, he was particularly press ing for some one to propound a text. No . one presuming to do so, he was about to sit down without an oppor tunity of showing his learning, when a chap by the dour announced that ha had a Bible matter of "great consarn," which he desired to be enlightened upon. The preacher, quite animated- V, professed his willingness and ability, and the congregation was in great ex citement. "What j want to' know," said the outsider, "is whether e Tob's turkey was a hen or a gobbler ?" • The "expounder" looked confused, and the congregation tittered, as the questioner capped the climax, by ex claiming in . a loud voice: . "I fotche . d. him down on the first question." From that time forward, the practice of asking for "difficult passages" was avoided. THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS—ACTION OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY.—In all parts of Illinois the belief that the New England emigrants will be swept out of Kansas by the imob of armed men who have sworn to plant slavery in the Territory, is so strong that the Illinois Central Rail road .is influenced by it to send an agent to Kansas for the purpose of inducing those emigrants to move to the company's lands in this, state. That agent, a prominent and influential citizen of Southern Illinois, left this city on Monday- evening last, and will proceed .445 Kansas without delay.— This action is timely. Perhaps before he arrives with the company's liberal offer, the infamous work will.be done, and those settleri vvho.are guilty of no crime except that of- loving liberty better than elavery, will have become victims. to the fury of the incen.sate rabble by' which they are pursued.— Great Heavensl ‘vhat next will slavery . demand.—Chicago Tribune.

There iS,Jiowever, a-large and highly reputable class among us: whose po litical theory either does not acknowl edge at all this popular sovereignty, or admitting it in words, yet seeks to enact and in fact .to nullify it in favor of qiiite another sovereign. In the political mythology of these wise men of the East—for New-England is an eminent and principal seat of this doc trine—the people play precisely the same part that Ahriman, the incarna tion of the principle of evil, does in the old •Persian theology. They are in part the source of all mischiefs ; 'to guard against their motives and their. fay requires - perpetual effort and ceaseless ‘vatchfulneis. The Ormusd of those sectaries, the principle of good, to whose benevolent sentiment and enlightend wisdom they look ex clusively for social order and harniony, and protection against popular igno ra:,ce and wickness, is—the Judiciary. "While the rest of mankind aro led away captive in the chains ef their in; li-rnal enemy," says Gibbon. "-the faithful Persian alone reserves his re ligious adoration for his friend and protector Orrnusd, - and fight's under j hip banner of light in the full confi deuce that - he shall, iii the last day, share the glory of his triumph. - - At that decisive, moment the enlightened wisdom of goodness will render the power of Ormusd superior to the fu rious malice of his rival. Ahriman and • hi i fidlowers, disarmed and deed, will sink into their native dark ness, and virtue will maintain .the etei nal .peace and harmony of the uni verse." For the word Persian sub stitute American Judge-worsbiper.s., and our American sentries niav be so called with even more of propriety than the Persians were denominated Fire.w , orshipers—and for Ocmusd read " the Judiciary," and the above quo tatien will exactly describe the sect of which we speak. As the ancient Persians, not con tent with worshiping Ormusd alone, . distributed their devotions among a countless nuniftr of genii of various • auks and orders, through whose agen cv Ormusd was suppose(' to act, so our Amer ican sectaries bow down to and \vol.-hip with prolimnd adoration it ideal Judges of all surf: and si - fi-oin your slave-c,chin , ° Com ' missieners. like Edward (1.

The 112 , re. appoiatrnent • to. a seat on the bench, at once transforms to their tnind..; acknowledged and admitted blockhead, into an inexhaustible foun tain of wi. , dom—a shrewd, - mercenary atti , rney into a pure. source of unmix ed truth and incortnptible justice—a bar-room blackguard into a guardian of heave and order: They invest a Judge - with all the infallibility which the-mo'st ultra mon tane Catholicism ascribes to the Pope, and with all the freedom from person al liability which the most Tory loy alty- bestows upon the English mon arch. They are as much horrified at . the notion of the removal of Judge 11,r instance, as English loyal ists were at the idea of the execution of Charles I—that great act of retribu tive and political justice which first taught the princes and the people of modern Europe the much-needed les son that Kings and rulers are but men, and as men must answer for their acts as Kings and rulers. Surely there is no less need that these American Judge-worshipers of ours should be taught that Judges too are but men. So lung as they confin ed their worship to Judges of the Su preme Courts, State and National, their idolatry, however gross, might perhaps be tolerated . ; but when they take to bowing down'to elave-catching Commissioners as to personifications of the principles ofjustice, peace, and order, something is surely necessary to rouse them from so pitiabV a delu sion, and to keep so detestable a-wor ship from spreading. The worship of a noble animal 'like a • bull, however gross the superstition, has yet some thing respectable about it.
