ell as falterer seemed toir &font. The pretence
ihat,thie was mutts- real amt-; mtly „object-..0t. the
Kansas Nebraska bill is too tranepareu fy false to
require refutation.
There is a deep.seated and general desire
throughout the bee elates to defeat this purpose,
and to shot out slavery from the cerritOries which
have been newly opened Hui: can this ob.
ject be accomplished ? This question cemes to as
from many quarters. People write to Sas reqdest
in us to putt out, it we can, some specific course
of action which can be missed upon with a rea
sonable prospect •of success. The frequency 01
these terms 's, the gravi•,‘ and magnitude of the
question, and the lively Interest which we take in
it, have led us to bestow upon the subject lung arid
careful reflection, assi we will now give, briefly
and clearly; our views, both as to what can and
what cannot be done
ft has been extensively proposed to restore
the Missouri Cotrlpromise—to repeal the repeal.
Let assets what plospect there is that this can be
done. A House of Representatives could probably
be elected a decided majority of which would vote
(or the restination.- But it would require many
years to effect a IA cient change in the Senate to
the measure through that body. As, therefore, it
would be sure in defeat in the Senate, it seems
hardly worth while to discuss its chances of an Ex
ectnive vote, for it would never reach the Execu•
Live.
It is. then. advisable to go lot a measure which
has no possibility of success! Should we not lose
the confiden ist of the people in this practical, hard
wet king age, by wasting our time and theirs in ad
vocating athovement which is absolutely certain to
be defeated, and the certain defeat of which must
be apparent to every intelligent person who will
candidly examine thesubject.
We believe that the clear impractibili'y of
compliahing the restoration of the Missouri Com
promise will render impotent every political orga
nization which maybe attempted on that basis—
It is clearly our opinion, therefore that it is utterly
useless and idle to make this the issue.
Whet, then, can be done, and what is it beet to
dot The great object to be accomplished is the
prevention of the extension of slavery over territo
ry in which it does not now exist. Why not, then.
boldly take the position that not another slave shall
be admitted into this Union If we take that ground,
and maintain, it. we shall accomplish our object.—
Therecan be little doubt that a large majority of
the people of this country ate in favor of it.
Neither is it obnoxious to any constitutional ob
jection. The Constitution, at the time of its ailnp.
tion, did not contemplate admission of states form
ed of territory not belonging at that time to the
country. In admitting such slates it is clearly the
right of the majority to prefix to their admission
such conditions as they deem proper.
Let, then, the people of the free states elect men
to Congress—from every Congressional district, if
possible—who will vote against the admission of
any other slave mate, no matter from what state the
application for admission may come If Kansas
applies, if Nebraska applies, it Cuba applies,lif the
Sandwich Islands apply, if new states from the
territory now belonging to Mexico apply for ad-
Mission as slave states, let a prompt and final re
jection—until the offensive provisions i tt their con.
&Minions be abolished—be the answer
It has been said that there was an implied un
derstanding that new states formed of ter holy now
constituting pail of the great state of Texas should
be admitted with slave consti• °lions. But if there
ever was any such understanding, and if it ever
was in any degree obligatory, the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise has deprived it of all its
binding fines. We would, therefore, oppose the
admission of new slave states carved out of Texas
with the same unalterable delciminatton with
which we would oppose the athritAsion of such Sta.
tee from every other quarter
With this plain, simple, practical, righteous is
sue, with the great balance of pecuniary interest
and the spirit of the age in our favor, with union
ani vigor on oar side in the conflict, can we reas
onably doubt of susses?
At the same time that this position is taken, all
purpose—and all right—to interfere through' tie
agency of the goverment with the institution of
slavery in the states in which it now exists should
be disclaimed with equal distinctness and precision
This would almost disarm opposition at the north,
and weaken it at the South
On Ibis issue mainly, if-not entirely. it seems to
as that the election of the next Congress, and of the
next President of the United States, should be de
cided. On the ground which we have indicated all
the lovers of liberty can rally, with the conscious
ness that while they are tine to the principles of
Freedom, and that by their unitertend firm support
her glorious cause shall triumph, they lire doing in
justice to no state and to no man in any part of the
Country.

)dram Gilbert, Secretaries.
The meeting was appropriately addressed by
Col. B. Laporte and J. M Bishop, showing the out
cage committed upon the country in the enactment

found that the deceased had been shot, the ball
entering the mouth. An inquest was held on the
body, and the verdict was such that Jackson was
committed to jail for murder. It appeared from
the evidence, that Jackson took with him, when he
went to bathe, a gun, and that when Horn was in

ten cents in his pocket when he left home, and
when his clothes were found the money had been

Q::7- The drought which has prevailed in this re
gion for some past, is becoming terrible in its in
convenience, and from its eflects upon vegetation.
All signs of rain fail„and the theories of ProL Espy
are without effect. Corn, potatoes and buckwheat,
in the neighborhood of this place, are almost a to
tat failure. The meadows and pastures are brown
and sere, while the atmosphere is filled with dust,
and smoke from numerous fires upon the moun
tains. The " memory of the oldest inhabitant" has
no recollection of the like.
CRATON Poavairti.—Perional notices of emi
nent men are always interesting, and a volume
containing sketches of great Americans must be
especially valuable to every native of this country.
Messrs. DeWitt & Davenport, of New York, have
just issued a book entitled Crayon Sketches ; or, Off
Hand Takings; from the pen of Geo. W. Bungay,
Esq., of Boston, which we have not the slightes:
dnubt, will prove a great hit. It contains carefully
written descriptions of some of the most noticeable
Poets, Preachers, Politicians, Prcse-writers, &c., of
our day, and so well are they touched off, that each
one may be called a Pen-Daguerreotype. More
over, the work is embellished with twenty capital
steel engravings, any one of which is a graceful
likeness. No American libraty can be complete
without this work, which, hom its fair, free and
frank style, will make a sensation.
From the same publishers we have a new-work
entitled " Fifteen Minutes Around New York," by
G. G. Ferrari, which contains some, excellent
sketches of some of the peculiarities of Gotham.—

Mrisoom Exxonos.—The majority for [(snotty
(Whit,) over Benton (Dem) in the Firm Congres

Republfcan, says, " The retools by telegraph leave
no reasonable doubt of the election of J G. Miller
and Gilchrist Porter, the Whig candidates, in their
respective districts, for Congress. The returns from
the other districts, though not very numerous, in
dicate the re-election of Mr. Oliver, Sam Camthers
and Lindley, all Whigs. We do not, chant their
election as certain, but it looks that way." The
complexion of the Legislature is not ascertained.—

En' ' There ha, been a desperate attempt

assertions sad liberal pledgee hare beep,urado.-:
This address, sensible, plain and to timpoint, strips
the question of the falsehood with which it had
been encumbered, and dirplays the panizan
schemers in their true light. It proffers advice to
Temperance men; which, if heeded, teapot fail to
be beneficial.
" It is the fortdne of the friend. of Prohibition that
they now have • a -practical, tangible issue—they
bares standard around which all may rally—and
they Will be enabled to make that demonstration
which will not only have its moral effect, but will
be attended with practical results. To effect this,
requires only that the one question should be kept
steadily in view—that there should be no taming
to the tight hand, nor the let. It is peculiarly for-
Innate that in the shape which the matter has been
left, that it will hardly aditit of partizan embrace—
though $3lllO scrupulous demagogues may attempt
to pervert into dishonest and improper purposes.
If the friends of Prohibition rally in every Coun
ty in the State, steadily refusing to listen to the
!lotteries or pledges of any man or party, they will
carry a majority ranging from fifty to one hundred
thousand voters of the Commonwealth. When
they have done this, the victory is gained. No
Legislature would d , even if they had the incli
nation,, to disregar such an overwhelming demon
stration of the pup tar will. And we venture to say
that no man who uld be placed in the Guberna
torial
torial chair, woo l be dishonest and corrupt enough
to endeavor tot art the will of the people. Such
a man would be despised and execrated, and his
name would be transmitted to posterity as one to
be abhorred.
The moil Temperance feeling throughout the
State has already been appealed to and attempts
are now math% to prostitute it to party 'purposes.
Let the Temperance voters distrust those who ap
proach them with pledges from this and that Gu
bernatorial candidate, or professions that any party
is the pecilliar friend of Prohibition. The lemper
ance rankkare filled by voters,from every party -in
Commonwealth. The Whig northe Democratic par
ty have any especial right to be so designated. But
either, we have confidence in believing, would be
ready to carry out the will of the people, expressed
at the ballot box.
The members of the Legislature; elected this fall,
will have the duly of carrying out the popular
expression by framing and passing a Prohibitory
Law to meet public expectation. Here will be
another fine field for those who are more liberal
with promises than performances, and it becomes
the duty of TeMperance men to carefully scrutin
ize the merits of candidates and sift the professions
which are put forth. If the Democratic candidates
are upright men, "(and none other should be placed
in nomination,) there is no danger but that they
will in good faith carry out the wishes of their con
slilDents. This should be the first inquiry of voters.
Men who have this Temperance reform at heart,
have a right to inquire, if among the other necessa
ry qualifications, they can trust this question with
them. But pledges are no guarantee—and he that
is in most haste to make the strongest promises
should be mistrusted.
The effects of paitizan alliance upon the cause of
Temperance are manifest. They will be extreme
ly disastrous, if attempted. There are thousanis of
voters who, while they feet no particular interest in
the matter, will vote fot a Prohibitoty Liquor Law,
provided they are not disgusted and driven off by
attempts to make it minister to party triumphs. In
such case, their votes would be reversed, while
Temperance gams nothing, but loses its high cha
racter from being drabbled in the muddy pool of
politics.

Monday (idectlon day) was a time of anginal
excitementned bloody riot in Ed. Louis,
originated about 2 o'clock maths after.
noon7ll the polls-of the Fifth Wind t -between a'
party who called- themselves Americans, and a
number of Irish, who had gathered around the en
gine house": ' •
The fight at first was a general one, which was
tollowed by a slight skrmishing all along Third at.,
between Vintiiimet and Franklin arena, setving
very much to increaseihe excitement and draw .to.
gather a large crowd.
Wherever an Irishman was seen in the street,
he was pursued and most cruelly beaten.. Finally,
parsed of one was trade - down Mritgan street,
where thextob were met by number of Siberians,
who gaits battle by throwing stones, and firing pis
tols ; but the crowd of rioters increaaing, they gave
way and retreated to their bdusea between Main
and Levee street. • Here for tr, while the mob was
the scene of the wildest excitement.. The Irish
fired as many, perhaps, as a hundred pistol shots
into the crowd, who were breaking in the doors and
windows of the houses by showers of stones from
the streets. At last the shooting was silenced, and
the mob proceeded down the Levee and along it to
'Locast street, assailing every coffee house or tene
ment supposed to contain foreigners with a contin
ued storm of missiles.
Ater this-the Irish made another stared on Second
street, but were driven down put Cherry, the mob
still continuing their assault upon the houses and
windows. They then proceeded up Morgan and
Green street, above Fourth. and assailed a number
of houses, completely riddling the doors and win
dows with stones and brickbats. During the even•
ing, slight assault had been made on the office of
the Anzeiger des Westens, but the party were dis.
persed without much injury. In the mean time,
the military and police were out in 101 l force. scat.
eriug the excited combatanti here and there . and
doing Mach to restore quiet to the city. About 10
°Wick at night, howeve,r, a company of the riotors
ersintaning perhaps 20, came marching down Third
street from the scene of assault upon Morgan street
—stones in hand Land shouting in the wildest mari
ner, and upon arriving in front of the Anzeiger of
fice, again commenced an assault upon the win
dows and doors of the house. At this juncture,
the military came charging upon the crowd again,
and diaper sed the mob. When we left the scene
quiet seemed to be in a very fair way of being re •
stored, and the military having complete posses
sion of the street, and seemed determined to en
force order.
It) is utterly impossible to estimate the number
of persons wounded in the whole affair, or even to
say how many have been killed. We saw at least
twenty men lyingbleeding,and wounded so severe•
ly that they were perfectly insensible—their faces
cut most horribly and skulls mashed, and Borne ap
pearing perfectly dead; and then we have learned
of three men certainly killed, and of five or air
more who are thought to be dead at this time from
wounds received.
It is a wonder to as, when we remember the
number of shots fired and the exposed position of
the mob, that there were not double the persons
killed and wounded. A madby the name of Shan
non was stabbed in the back of the neck from
which he very probably died last night. A hand
from the steamer Henry Chouteau was killed in
stantly, and man by the name of Joe or Frank
Freeman was shot through the heart, and tell dead
without uttering a word He was standing near a
lumber pile at the foot of Morgan street, on the le•
tree, with his arms folded, watching •the affray
without at alt participating, when he received the
fatal shot from the window of a house on Battle
row.
A NARROW ESCAPC—On Friday night last, just
all a train was leaving Chicago, on the Michigan
Central Road, two small boys were found hidden
on the trucks, under the passenger cars, in such
positions that they would have been filled as soon
as the train started.
Drerraurrion Br piIASSHOPPERS —Large fields of
grass, oats and corn, have been destroyed by grass
hoppers, in Deerfield township, Ross County, Ohio
The Scioto Gazette of the 9th instant states that 270
acres of fine grass, befoning to S. M Baker, was
destroyed ; as if by fire. These insects, at last ac
counts, were dying last.
HYDROPHOBIA.-Mr. Thomas Tolman died at
Charlestown, Mass , on Saturday, from the effect of
the bite of a mad dog. His agony was intense, and
in the last stages of his disease so violent were his
spasms that it was deemed necessary to handcuff
him. He was a married man.
