The Republican Party has in view one great ob ject, the protection of the rights and' interests of the free laborer; but in the ! attainment of,its object it must advocate different measures. It advocated the Wilmot Proviso as long as the purchase of nevi terri dory was contemplated. It opposed the'rerieal of the Missouri Compn?inise.untiLthe act was repealed. It ailvecated the principle that slavery could not exist in any territory until established there by law, but it has been 'decided by the highest tribunal that slivery may. enter the territories at will. Now the only pos. Isable way that free labor can secure any portion of teniterris to legislate slavery out of it. We believe that slavery has no rightful existence in .o ottr territo ries, and it never could haw had an evtence there hail it not been for the action of the Democratic Par ty. Rut since slavery is actually in the territories, and. it is decided by the Supreine Court that it has a rightful existence there, are we not forced to accept the principle of popular sovereignty as a boon, and advocate,tt as the only possible means the free labor er has let to him cif Adding himself of its damning .1:45" We shall take no notice of the stable-lxiy blackguardism in last week'a'Nentrose Democrat ; and as for, its misstatements of fact—a fault so habit ual with thaybeet as scarcely to attract comment or attention—they#i so palpable .and apparent• that they may be very briefly disposed of. ° Our article of April 29th, stating that the Demo. iny editor was a disappointed applicant for the Post office, 'as originally' written; simply recorded what was common report , here, which we bad never heard contradicted from any quarter, and•which we believed to be true. The only clause in 'the article which stated that be bad been• an applicant:for •the office was this: " His petition for an office has been disre garded, and another has got the appointment he ask-- ed for." When he 'came toots, after a part of, that week's .issue was printed, and said that he had never been a petitioner for the office, and requested to have, the statement corrected in the 'rest of . the - issue, we changi that clause so as to read : " His claims for an office have been disregarded, and another has got the appointment of Postmaster;" and on his further request that we woult publish his denial in our neat issue, we promised to do so, and we did so. But he 'says the change we'made in the article wah inmate rig.- If so, we cannot see what reason he has to find fault with the article in its original form. A's correct ed, it merely states that he had claims for. the office, and That another - had got it. That another has got it is undeniable ; and if the editor had no claim? for the office, nhy.shoul4 his friends have proposed; as he ad mits in liis.article last week, that if any change was made, he should be an -appficant! Does he i^etlly consider that - he had no claims ; and that if been appointed - the appointment would have' been undeseried f It would appear so, from theObjwction he makes to our correction. But in our opinion, when he admits it was intended that he should be an 'applicant it any change was to be inade, he admits 'that he and his friends considered that he had claims for tit! office; and our statement is verified by his own adinission. When he says that we agreed to remove the entire 1 paragraph finm our paper, be says what is wholly untrue- - Not Only did we not agree to -do any such thing, but he did not ask us to do it. And ;as the senior editor's promise of an' explanation the next week wailonfy conditional, and biused upon an utter misstatement offset by him of the Democrat, of cours, e such an explanation as the latter asked fOr could'net be given. We conceive that whatever of "meanness" and' -" trickery" has been exhibited in this matter, was on the part of him who—after getting' our prOmise to publish his denial of a statement we had made believ ing it , to be true—went back to his, office and pub lished an article stating'that we knew our statement to ltejalse, and that Ire looked for the prosercorree- . On next week—thus taking. advantage of our eour tesy,lo raise .an imputation against - oni veracity: But we have deitted more time and apace to this subject than ft is worth. We cannot be expected to attach so much importance to it as the editor of the Annoer#, wlio, although he so clignorously denies bavingd;een an applicant. is evidently gieatly disap pointed that a Change bee been made and another bsalnt, the Foot Office. 1 ' XL H.

LECOMP TON BILL AS PASSED DT CONGRESS.-FuTOCy ' S Press says that inasmuch as this action is not a settlement, but a wicked reopening of that which honest legislation would have forever tranquilized, we desire the-reader to preserve and to remember these facts : 1. That although the people of Kansas have repeatedly rejected the Lecompton Con- stitution, with 611 its protection to slavery, they must take that Constitution now, or wait till they have a population of 93,000 or 120,000. 2. 'That people can have no vote upon thii Lecompton Constitution under the -English, bill as lately, most positively-, and distinctly shown by Senators Douglas and Green, in the Senate, dnd by Mr. Stephens in the House. -• $. But, is order to bribe them to take it, some four millions of acres,of land-tire offer ed to them, which if they accept, they go in to the Union 'with Lecompton, and which they reject, they remain out an indefinite pe riod of time. 4. If they take Leec impton with the -land bribe, which is a slave Constitution, • simply and wholly, they enter the Union with 30,000 of a population; if they refuse it, they will remain in a territorial condition under pro slavery managethent for years to come. - 5.

The Russian Ike !tweezed , It is a gratifying fact that the anancipa. tion of the serfs in Russia, far from: bung a great delusion, as many belieired,' is - progress : ing steadily, and 14 a manner ichlth 'guatiw tees the most hopeful results for; that vat realm; which embraces _one-absth ;of the surface of the earth, and Which is Mifidding under its. new system a - degree of energy 4- tle less than miraculons. Although serfs; under the technic 2 name of "souls," have always been transferable propertyiti Russia,-or atleait mortgageable, since the great government pawnbroking Gp tablishment at St. PeterSburg was, wont to advance money, on - thein, we do notlind that 'the nobility, their proprietors, have rsmon.- strated, of opposed the measure: f emancipa tion. On the contrary we:find them under% standing dig, as it was a thin which must be, the besreourse 'which they could adopt would' be to fall.in With the movement. and so regulate the mantoriission that peaceable and harmonious•arratigements with the oper atives could be made. -"A hired laborer, con. ciliated, is better than no laborer; nay it is, possible that, 'if he be induced to adopt regu lar habits, and his ambition be stimulated, he may work 'harder-. than before and prove more valuable to -his employer than if tie were a serf. Thus we find the nobles of the districts of Orel and Nei., following the,ex ample of the other provinces, haie,solicited permission to forM committees for regulat ing the enfranchisement of their serfs, and: that the measure has thus, become general. Russia has, we believe, never depended on serfs, for aay of her provinces which were to be pushed by rapid development, or inj any new territories. When it was resolved to make the most of a new country. as injßes-. sarabia, all serfage was ab.olished, and ,very inducenient offered to free settlers and small farmers and manufacturers to go there. SD far as government was concerned, serfdom was always treated by. it as a. greet evil, to be gradually done away 'with.

'On the 21st ult, at 6 Uley's Amphitheatre, in London, Mr. William Cooke, the eques trian, undertook to exemplify Profeisor Ra rey's system of breaking, subduing, and. training unmanageable and vicious horses.— There was, consequently, crowded house, the boxes particularly beinff b will filled. We take the following account of what took place from the Morning Advertiser : Mr, Wm. Cooke informed the audience that, having ad vertised his intention of exhibiting Professor Rarey's principle of subduing horses, by ex perimenting on any horse that might be sent to him, a horse. had been sent to him that morning for the purpose: A full growh horse hunter—was then led in, and the follow ing simple modp of operation was adopted : A strip is attached to the fetlock of thwAlilat rare leg, and drawn .oier the animal's right shoulder, wher4 it is held by Mr. C00ke.4.- Tke K.ft leg is then bent inwards, so as to bring the hoof in contact with the thigh, and made fast in that position by a strap and buckle. Mr. Cooke then, taking the reins in his left hand, and bringing the strap attached to the hbrse's fore leg into instate of tension, urges-the animal to walk on three legs.— Holding the reins-right, and so as to incline the horse's head to the left,: the horse is fore , cd to make - a journey twice round the circus. At this time he exhibits symptoms of great exhaustion, 'goes on his knees, and ultimately lies down ill the most submissive manner.— . Ile is then relieved from the •inconvenient an unaccustomed restrictions .imposed upon • him by. the straps,-and Mr. Cooke 'lies upon him in a recumbene - position,- and caresses him, and his pattings are reeived by the horse with such indications of gratification as to leave no doubt that the most friendly - relit, tions are established betwden the parties. n it is ,ng him, jebe for I domes. respect !. of the 'who was Tuthill, her, and et'.
