the condition and . prospects of Kansas. As

wants, than is Mr. Wilmot of Towanda, or
the Ametican Congress. In this light the
National Democracy contemplates him and
therefore secures to him the right of self- .

judicial officer. If his letter of acceptance

The Hawking Wad Peddling Pro
hibilion.
April Bth, Gov. Pollock approved an act
prohibiting hawking and peddling in Susque.
banns County. Its provisions are as follows:
No perecn_ or persons shall sell, or expose to
sale within this County, as a hawker or ped
dler,or travelling merchant, any foreign' or
domestic goods, wares or merchandise, ender
the penalty of fifty dollars for each and every
offence ; provided that, the act shall not be
so construed as to apply to persons carrying
goods for wholesale purposes. At whose in
stance this prohibition was enacted, we can
not tell; we know very well, however, that
the people of the County never demanded it ;
and what is more never knew that such pro
hibition was contemplated. Iris a species of
class legislation ; a law gotten .ep for the
benefit of the feW, withott the knowledge or
assent of tbe many, and as each we 'con
demn it. If, in obedience to the laws of the
commonwealth, a man . pays a license for the
privilege of vending articles of domestic or
foreign mannfactere, what matters it. to the
community, Whether he visits the consumer
with his merchandise in tin trunks, or erects
a building in some village, in which to exhib
it and dispose of his wares 1 . The public wants
competition in trade ; and s law which in a
measure destroys this, will not meet the ap
probation of the people. If the hawker and
,peddler will sell his articles at a cheaper rate
than the village merchant, then it. is the con
sumer's interest to purchase of the former. If
he cannot do this, then be will injure the
mercantile community very little. In the
former case the consuming :public is damag
. ed by the law in question'; in the latter, the
merchant reaps scarcely , a perceptible profit
from it. Did. the . principle of the act accord
with our notions of right, we should denounce
the manner of its passage. The proposition
ass riot laid before the of the County
—they had no opportunity to express theii
opinion of it, and yet they are affected I.y it.
If a few merchants, finding themselves nea
r
ble to compete 'with the peddlers, wanted to
close their trunks and chain the wheels of
their carts by . a legislativeact, they ought to
bare had the courage to have said so, and in
cited the people the County to co operate
{:with them in procuring the prohibition. :The
sly secret way in which the thing was man
aged is disreputal-le. The Republican of
last week, in nolmieg the ptartige of the
lan, lsays it's understands that •the act is
likely. to be so amended that its provisions
shall not apply to those who vend articles of
• their own production or mantifacture." In
connection with this ,propirsed amendment,
rumor, has a very pleasant joke. The story
goes that one of a certain firm in town, en
gaged.in the manufacture of stoves,, appen
ded his name to a petition, (circulated secret
ly, and - only among the initiated) for the en
.acttnent of the.law in question ; not bower
;
er unq,be was assured that his business
would not be injured thereby- Since the
passage of the it is discovered that stove
peddleis are in the same boat with hawkers
and peddlers of ready made clothing, shawls
and calicoes. It is the intention we suppose•
to bah the law so amended as to exempt
this fatally deceived individual from its ope.
ration. Should the effort to procure :the
amendment fail, we shall have a home illus
tration of the phrase, " are ticere bit." Had
the store man been of foreign birth and a
=ember of the' pro-slavery Inixaneer" fain;
ily, it is quite probable that, those who y en.

This Falseboos* 131.istisiry`iisel Aisne
of thin Opposition.
Every sectional, abolition journal in the
country, from the New York Tribune, down
to the hdepeedent Republicae, asserts and
repeats the lie that the 'democratic party. is
the allyand propagator of slavery. This in
ked accusation is their " harp_ of a thousand
airings," on which they play that" same old
lane," at th u g approack of a town; county,
State or National 'contest. We demand the
evidence—the/ads on which they base the
charge ; proof of. its falsity we point
them to history ; we show them that the
principles which we maintain to-day are
those for which the fathers of the Republic
battled, in conformity with the constituttor,
liberal and just. They sneer at our detnarids;
avoid the /lett of history ; treat with con
tempt the opinions of our country's departed
statesmen, and 'literate the lie ; knowing
that on its perpetuation bang` the existence
of their party. : ludustrieusly circulated and
pertinacionslradhered to, it has already-pro
deiced bitterfruit it contributed to place in
the executive chair of our State a sworn pro
scriptionist, and disgraced the nation with 'a
corrupt Ceageess.; it cursed, Kansas with a
civil war sad threatened the dismemberment
of the confederacy,by arraying section against
section. And yet with these, its fearful re
sults staring us in the face, the same lie con . -
tinnes to assail the public ear ; in streets,and
in bar-rooms ;. from the platform of-the par
tisan orator, and the pulpit of the. political
priest. In conjunction with this glaring
fahehood comes the declaration (equally ab
surd and untrue) that the slaveholding inter
est of the country is sggressive;that it. thirsts
for dominion and -aims to annihilate free 'la
bor. 'This last allegation, like the first, is
overahelmingly condemned by history.—
Slaveliolding Virginia voluntarily ceded to
the National Government a domain out of
which five'rich and . populous frkstates have
been created ; a slaveholding President, be
lieving the Missouri Compromise extended in
spirit, though not in terms, to the Pacific
coast, signed a bill by which the vast territo
ry of Oregon was exPre.sly allotted to free la
bor. And from "the Adniinistration of Wash
ington•to the present time, we defy these ha
bitual slanderers to poi nt to the first act in
our legislative history sustaining their vile
accusations. Ifa sentiment of honor or a
slight regard for truth yet lingers in their
debauched natures, they may be induced to
abandon this infamous practice of falsifying,
and to enlighten their , followers by the pre
sentation of facts and. the conclusions legiti
mately flowing from them. That such will
be the case we earnestly hope; the public gr .
the interests of ear whole 'country 'dentan
it. -
It is not only their duty to diSpense with
naked assertions, but they shoald put the
public in possession of their reasons. for sus
taining the singular and revolutionary.move
ments of their party. We want them, to in
form us why they tried. to " stop the wheels
of government" by refusing to make an
lap
propriation for support of the. At;rtly ;
why they defeated a project to give peace ,to
Kansas ; why they endeavored by act of Con
gress to establiSh slavery in that. Territory
until 1858
.; why they sought to prevent an
investigation of the charge of corruption pre
ferred against certain metnbers of Congress ;
and why they did not cordially • unite to ad
mit Minnessota as 'a free st a te.. When they
bare candidly responded to these inquiries,
will they be kind enough to show us how
they could support an electoral ticket partly
devoted to Fillmore, with his know-nothing
and " pro-slavery"-proclivitiert, without sacri
ficing that " great principle" about which
they . make so much ado I Will they also
explain for what purpose they sent "tke trai
tor Simon. Cameron, and slavery" to repre
sent them in the U. S. Senate ? These ques
tions concerning-a few of their pest political
rasealities, wo would like to hare fairly and
intelligently answered ; after which an ex
planation of - their motive for counseling-the
Free State men of Kansas not to vote at 'the
June election ; and for denouncing' through
the press, from the pulpit. and in legi-lative
resolves, the decision of the Supreme Court
in the D:ed Scott case, would be, both grafi
f)ing and profitable. f
Weassert, (and our reasons shall accom
pany the assertion) that this Republican or
ganization is to day the real abettor of " sla
very extension;" that its movements .tend to
revolution and the destruction of the govern•
meat. If it is really antearnestly opposed
to the establishment of slavery in Kansas,
why doe's it counsel its dupes there to take
no part in the election to form a State Con
stitution I It admits, yea, it boasts, • -that
. the Free State party constitutes a large ma
jority of the bona fuse citizens of the Territo
ry. Then, this party has the power to mould
the domestic institutions of Kansas as it I-lea
ses—to insert in the State Constitution a
prohibition, or recognition of slavery. Pos
sessing this power, the Free State men of
Kansas are counselled by their Eastern mas•
tent, not to exercise it; to quietly remain in
their work shops and on their farms, • aisle

in the case of Dred Scott. This effort to destroy

taught by JEFFEiRSo's;, in contra-distinc

tenets of the older Anasts, that the -Demo

and factious that have ever arisen in opposi

power, or betrayal of its trust ; whatever ob
Jections have, and may from time to time;

to be 'ive the -support of the country wheri

for a time, its harmony and discipline 'were

as it did the money power, which Kieft alone
would have reduced T. free people to the me •

because its- climate, soil and productions

of the Rocky Mountains. The winter IN . X*
one of the Tnost severe o'er known,. The
Utah Indians on Rittet Creek. hist almost all
their liorseli., From Mr. Goodell we learne th
following - particulars: '
At the cros..ing of thC North P'a'te he Met
an Indian trader, named Saunders, Who had
ju=t returned from an expedition in search of
a Crow village. Hi& party consisted, at the
setting out,
.of three white men and four
Crow Indians. They Were attriokerl'ore-Pow
der river by .a party of thirty BlaCkf..et,' who
killed one of the, white - men, named ..Scolt,'
a Canadian trader, ,and two of the Crows.
Simnders was-wounded in the shoulder.
About three days - after the occur-
rence, a band of the snake Indians name
:tell ss a party of Blankfeet numbering twnty
nine warrior:, near Fremon,'s Peak; and trf
ter a hard battle, killed twenty•eight, leaving
but one .to tell the story to his tribe. This is
the most suceessfid battle ever- fought in the
mountains. The Snakes • lost not a single
brave. The wilde,t rejoicings were going on
In the tribe—feasting, dancing,. and all de
scriptions of savage otiges being eartied on
day and' ni . :glit. They were .so elated that
they sent a portion of their scalps by a Ft eneh
trader to the Sioux, having, as they said.
umre than they warded. -
Goodell met Lang Chin, the Sioux Chief.
who headed the murderers of the mail partr
two years ago. and waS a pijsouer for some
lime at Fort Leavenworth, at the trading
house of Major Drirp; at A-h Hellos, *nil
had a !Ong talk. Long 6in told him that
the Cheyennes had ',sent word, tp . the Sioux,
that if they would meet them at the Kirks of
the Platte and take their old Men,"women
and childreu to the lodges of the Sioux; north,
of the Platte,. they woul d . give them sixty or
seventy .hor.-es and. mules, and thetithe young
Men of the Sioux to - join them in'tbeir excur

But Long Chin said he find been doin .
among the whites, on 'their; big 'Miens, .and
Seen so many men he knew it was'no use to
fight, and that the Sioux would have nothing
to do with . the matter. ' . - -
