reciprocity trevty was a boon granted by the
genera! government to New Eagland and New
York, more valuable than any thii-g the gov
ernment has doue for the South for a quarter of
a century.
But this treaty w'.'l havo a y-Aiticil influence
ou the OuQhJ aof great importance. It is iden
tifying tboir interests with those of oar northern
B:*‘es; assimilating tholr taste, manners and
habits ; greatly increasing their intercourse ;
an 1 making them more familiar and agreeable
neighbors. Its inevitable result, we believe,
will be, at m distant day, annexation. The
Canadas are almost as free now as the United
States. England is gradually relaxing her grasp
upon those provinces. She is withdrawing her
troops, and supplying their places with native
soldiers. Sbo atlows them to govern themsolves
in almost all looal matters. Aoouatomed to free
dom and self government; familiarized with oar
people and our institutions ; connected with
ihom by commerce and pecuniary interests, it
caDnot be long until they will repudiate their
nominai’y di-penfrot condition upon a foreign
monarchy, and declare their preference for a
political unii/L with tho prosperous and fast
growing Plates cf the great republic. Eastern
papers tel! us that that sentiment is beoomiog
quite prevalent through Upper Canada now;

It ;e a fact now well aad fully asoertaiued,
that Atchison, Stringfellow, aud all that gang of
Missourians that invaded Kansas and elected a
Legislature for tho territory, were Know Noth
ings It seemed, at first, almost impocaible
that so extensive a plot could have beco so bqo
ccsßful.y f.rmc i and oarrieJ out. But we now
learn the secret of its aucc , . , 8 q . It was through
tbeageiry of that secret political organization
that for a time boasted its triumphs all over the
country. l‘s in. Kansas shows to what
evil purpose it can he directed, aud what unholy
designs ;t can bo made to serve. It has subju
gated a free territory, and commenced the work
of planting mavery in it, by fjrce and fraud.
That the majority of the people of Kansas are
opposed to slavery is proved by a mass of testi
mony too strong to if a doubt. Yet in
defiaooe of the popular wi;\ ‘-.Uvery has been
reoognixed and legalized there by a body of leg.

Such are the purposes to which socret politi
cal societies may be devoted. We do not say
that Northern K. N.'s are implicated or respon
sible for the gross wrong, bat we certainly may
learn from it that secret sooicties arc dangerous
to liberty, because under the management of
oorrapt and designing men they can be far more
effeotually used for the accomplishment of a
bise and evil deeign than an open party.
It behooves tho American party to consider
well this matter; for the public will hold it in
some measure responsible for this Kansas out
rage, unless they oan olear their skirts of it.

From Rutila
Toe New York Diily Times professes to Lave
received uewd from Russia through private chan
nels, to the effect that Russia bad failed in her
effort to negotiate a loan in Berlin, and rl*o Id
a similar negotiation with the Rothschildi; that
consequently, she purposed to raise the loan iu
ibe United Btates, on stock issued in small
amoautu, somewhat on the plan of tho recent
loans in France, the sympathy of the masses be
ing relied upon to oause it to be taken; that for
this purpose Bassian agents have been sent to
the United States to inquire into the feasibility
of the plan; and that the rumor of these iuten
lions have reached the French and English gov
ernments, and has been a subject of considera
tion with them. The Amerioan officers sent
oat by the United States government to gather
information relative to ordnance operations at
Sebastopol were at St. Petersburg, and had ob
tained permission to visit Cronstadt first and
Sebastopol next, on condition that they should
not afterwards go within the lines of the allied
f;roes. The Times also gives the following as
the alatemeot of Madame Bodieco respecting
affairs in Russia;
‘'lnstead of the financial and commercial dis
tress of which wo have read so much, as conse
quent upon the war, she says that basinets
wears its usual aspect, and is quite as brisk as
ever, —that money is abundant, —the people
oontented and in excellent spirits about the war,
and that no one living in the capital would sus
peot, from anything that met his notioe, that
thero was anything unusual in the condition of
the oountry. It is not believed there that the
Allies will succeed in gaining possession of Se
bastopol. The protracted and Buocessful de
fence hitherto maintained is rcg&rdo i as estab-
the fact that, to any foroe which the Al
lies can bring against it, tbo place is absolutely
impregnable. A very large re erve foroe awaits
orders at St. Petesburg, and no difficulty is ex
perienced in obtaining recruits or supplies of
provisions and money for the war. The same
authority states that the reported capture and
destruction of Sweaborg is so enormously ex
aggerated in importance, as to pass for a hoax.
No part of the fortifications of the plaoc have
been destroyed or seriously injured.”
Wagei In Ireland
The Irish papers speak of the increase of the
wages of labor in that oountry as a -ocnl rev
olution. I’ appears that the land owners are
just beginning to wake up to a irue value of "a
bold peasantry,” and 11 loara that laborers are
something else than an absolute nu':?aLoe of
which the country must be riJ as fas: a- possi
ble. On this topic a Galway paper, called the
Vindicator, remarks as follows :
*• Between the fiold of war and the fields cf
corn, men in Ireland are looking up in the mar
ket. An Irishman is at last of some value iu
his own oountry. The economists who talk of a
sarplus population are now dumb and out of all
concert with their miserable theories We begin
to understand that the wealth of a country lies
in its population and not in any amount of inert
matter. The quickening spirit lies iu the sweat
of mowers and reapers. Who is to servo in the
militia—who is to cut the corn and dig the pota
toes * The spirit of our laws exiled the popu
lation ; now we feel the reaction. We drove our
laborers to the valleys of toe Mississippi; they
are worth any money now on the banks of the
Shannon. A Limeriok paper tells us that mow
ers in Pallasgreon are demanding Gs Bd. a day.
This ia really a revolution in the labor market.
Lo Galway our terms have not gone up to so ex
travagant a length. We havo not heard of any
thing higher than 2s. a day, with diet, but the
want of men, even at this comparatively high
rate, is peroeplibly felt in all directions.”
Six shillings and eight pence would be about
two dollars a day At this rate the Irishman
has, indeed, became of 6ome valuo in his own
oountry. The appreciation of the wages of la
bor has been far greater than we supposed.
Americans in Paris. —The Paris coorrespou
dent of the Boston Atltu writes:
“There are a great many Amerioan families
now in Paria. I may mention among them the
wife of Gen. Winfield Soott, who is travelling
with her sister, Mrs. Cabell, of Virginia, and
Miss Gibson, of Washington, (a daughter, I un
derstand, of Gen. Gibson.) General Soott him
self is expected over before long. Mr. ex-Pres
ident Fillmore and Mr. Corcoran were yesterday
presented to the Emperor. The widow of Dr.
Horner, of Philadelphia, and family, Mrs. Rob
ert Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Hare and Mr. and Mrs.
Arnold, are also among the representatives sent
from that city. There are B*7oo Americans now

U :g v: r
Wftign ai; I Ntrtbings nr» aiming at at any
time, bat tiioh ia (he present complexion of af
fairs that, except upon the negro question, it is
impossible to tell where they are at this moment;
indeed, they yaw so confoundedly and book and
fill so much that no man upon looking at their
craft under full sail can tell which way the wind
blows. Nor is it very easy to discover what they
arc at (except, indeed, turning the Democrats
Gut and getting themselves in) even in private
communication with them ; for, although be'mg
on terms of intimacy with some, I occasionally
get a speering of their designs. Yet, either
from ignorance of what they intend them-
Belvea. or from habitual caution aud prevarica
tion, I confess myself but little acquainted with
their secrets. But, as my conversations with
them may afford some inkling as to their plans
and project?;. I propose to give to your readers
an account of the notions a few of their lead*
iug men appear to entertain as to the ourrent
events of the day, and probable future polioy of
the country. I roceutly fell in with one of these,
a Whig, who was tolerably well posted up in
political matters, and we got into conversation,
as usual, about the views entertained by his
friends in reference to party movements ; and,
as 1 really wanted Information upon some points
which 1 suppose 1 he had examined, I endeavor*
eJ to avail myself of the lights he could throw
upon them. The prominent topio of tho day
was Kansas, and the outrages oommitted thore
by tho pro slavery upon the anti slavery populo*
lion. I found that be attributed these to the ad
ministration, and was disposed to censure with
great severity the Kansas and Nebraska bill sb
tho origin of these outrages. This brought him
at oDce to these measures as the main question.
And as l thought we could not agroo as to wbioh
of the partus in .-.angas these outrages had
their origin, 1 was glad to find in him a disposi
tion to enter into these topics as solving the dif
ficulty. I was more particularly gratified with
his course, a 3 I really wanted instruction upon
the subject of the actß of Congress relative to
these territories: aud 1 presumed he would give
me all tho necessary information, To my sur
prise, however, l found that he had never read
the act. bad never seen it, and was principally
indebted to tho nowspaper {[tirades against it
for all the information he had upon the subjeot.
Indeed, be honestly confessed that he would not
know where to look for it, and that he had but a
very faiut notion of its provisions. But, he said
the act repudiated the Missouri Compromise,
and that was enough for him. I asked him by
what measures the Missouri Compromise was
consummated ; whether by resolution, act of
Cjngres*, or iu what other way. He said, and I
believe correctly, that it was contained in an act
of Congress. Not being versed in these things I
wished to knew whether Congress by any act of
their* c :ald bind a subsequent Congress,or wheth
or a future O.ii.grvM ehoulJ be bound in case
gome naLjcal exigency existed rendering it pro
per to repeal a (..riser act; and whether a com
promise entered into by political parties a quar
ter of a century bef--;c, in order to expedite
business and prevent confusion, would bind the
statesmen of the present day in a matter of ex
pediency.
He replied ".hat he thought an act of Congress

this gre-nt doc'rine. sr> lung as th**y had a party
name. After be had glorified himself and bis
party for lime, I turned hla attention to tho
following passage in the Kmsns and Nebraska
bill, and asked him toexplaioit: “That the
Constitution and all the laws cf th j Coiled
States which are not locally inapplicable shall
have the same form and effect within the eamo
territory as elsewhere within tho United Stales,
except the Hth section of the act preparatory lo
the admission of Missouri iuto the Union, whioh
briny inconsistent u-ith the principle of non inter
vention by Congress with slavery in the States or
Territories -w rrcogn zed by the Legislature of 1860,
commonly called the compromise measure, is hereby
declared inoperative and void—it being the
trne intent and meaning of this act not to legis
late slavery into any Territory or Btate, but to
leave the people there perfectly free to form and
regulate their domestic institutions in tholr own
way, subject only tv the Conatitotion of the
United States.”
I asked my Whig friend what was meant by
the principle if nonintervention with slavery
as regulated by the compromise measure of
1850 ?
Next, whether the Whig party assented to or
den ed the principle that the peoplo of a State
or Territory might or might not be free to regu
late their d;me3tic institutions in their own
way ?
My friend was at first sorely poxzled to an"
ower the first qaestion After hesitating, he in
timated that it may have been some violation of
tho Missouri Compromise by the Democrats of
1850, the history of which ho oould not reool
lect. But I a ;guested to him that at the time
referred to, toe Wnigs were in the full tide of
power. General T\ylor was President and they
bad the control of Cougress, bo that whatever
was done in the way of violating the Comprom
ise, must have been done by tho Wbi s. This j
halted mm. lot s.f’tT - mo reflection ho said i
ih ;t the only i.i?a-j.irj c-f the Whig administra
tion £bat b id t* be ;r,i'.g ur-ou slavery aud oom

heii •vi* 1 w- 1 - in 1 tod him that
thc-T.r must : :-.'i:ilc£ and as we bad tho
uc■ 3 _f me would examine tho acts of
tlii.' yr ir. vt ct :i . . ..ur -ur. rise we ascertain, ed
not only teat the ac'.s f.-r eroding New Mexic >
ami Utah (Loth :f watch lay North cf the Mis
souri Compromise liue; into territories was then
passed: but tnatj thej very obnoxious proviso
about which iso much clamor has of late been
raised by the Whigs, to *U:—" That when ad
mitlfd as Si tits, the si<i Territories shall be re
cea-ed xn'.o the I'nton wdh or without slavery as
lheir Constitution nay prescribe a’ (he tim* of the
admission," had been taken word for word from
these ac'.a of Cougrcss and transposed bodily to
the Kansas and Nebr.-ska bid. Tee principle
of non-lntervcDtiju and the Miaaoari Comprom
ise, was a Whig measure, and not the subject of
complaint until the iC-mocraoy adopted it. But
that 1 might not make a fuss before I got out
of the woodn, I hunted for tho proceedings in
relation to Club and New Mexico in tho Wash
ington Congressional Globe, and in page 0-15
first part, fell in with Mr. Clay’s Compromise
Report, in which be abandons the doctrine of
the Missouri Compromise, and recommends for
adoption »g regards Ut.»h an 1 New Mexico the
very principles that ff.ro afterwards adopted
for Nebraska and Kansas. The following is Mr.
Clay’s language. ‘'The tree principles whioh
ought to regulate the action of Congress in
forming territorial government for each newly
acquired division, is to refrain from all legisla
tion on the subject in the territory aoquired, so
long as it retains tho territorial form of govern
ment, leaving it to the people of such territory
when they have attained to a condition which enti
tles them to an admission as a Stats , to decide for
themselves the question of the allowance or prohi
bition of domestic slavery."
I could not, after reading this passage, refrain
from turning to my friend and asking him by
what shift or devico the Whigs expected to evade
this proof of their iusiooerity and doublo deal
ing ; whother they considered Clay, Taylor, and
Fillmore as good Whigs, or whether they put
them in the same oategory as the Democracy
they had been so long villifying ? Well, it is
very difficult to abash a Whig. After some re
fleotion he admitted that the objeotional proviso
was of Whig origin, or if not, that it had been
sanctioned by the Whigs in the Utah and New
Mexico bills, but ho alleged, that as these terri
tones were acquired af:er the Mi eaorjii Tompro
miee, although north of the line, they were still
open to anothor arrangement. But 1 eiid to him
you hare but just now been vaunting your prin
ciples. It was the principle of the compromise,
uot the territorial exteat that you were advoca
ting. Have you abandoned the principle of the
Missouri Compromise? If so, c-f what moment
is it that it extends over a certain territory ?
By this time my friend had beeomo 8") waspish
that I did not see fit to pnss him farther. In
relation to the matter, the substance of the
thing seems to bo, that the tirade of abuse pour
ed out by the Whigs, and iu too mouy instances
assented to by the Democrats, has no foundation
in the principles involved in the* Kansas and Ne
, braßka bills, that is of Whig origin ; and is but
a tub thrown to the whale with the hope that
whilst we are 100 ting at it they may be able to
oarry out their schemes for the subversion of
Democracy, and the ruin of the nation. Should
I meet my Whig friend again, and, should ho
have anything to say as to tie right of people
1 to govern themselves, I will idvit-o you of it.
And as it not easy for general readers to get a
’ sight of acts of Cougross, auu the documents to
■ whioh I refer, I havo given the extracts ver

F*riuer«’ Calendar for die Slontli of Sep-
tember.
From the N«jw F&rm-r
September, though the first of the autumnal
months, has an average heat ecaroely less than
that of Juno. For several years past, the se
vero summer droughts have exteudod even into
September, and tbo first half of the month, both
day and night, has been oppressively hot, tho
earth parohed and cracked. aDd-the foliage bard,
dusty and dry. This year is an exception, and
vegetation has more the appearance of tho ver
nal season, than that of the season of decay.
The frequent summer showers have given great
and oonetant activity to the growth of plants,
and kept them iu a green and vigorous condition,
so that they now oover th*. eartb with freshness
and beauty.
Notwithstanding this, “ the youth of the year
is gono. Even the vigor and lustihood of i»s
maturity are quiok passing away. It has reach
ed the summit of the hill, and is not only look
ing, but desponding into tbo valley below. Bnt
if September is not so bright with promise and
so buoyant with hopo as May, it is even more
embued with that spirit of serene repose, in
which tho only true, because tho only continu
ous enjoyment consists. And September is the
month of consummations—the fulfiller of all
promises—the fruition of all hopes—the era of
all completeness Let us thru turn at once to
gaze on, and partake in its manifold beauties and
blessings; n t let them pass us by, with the
empty salutation of mere praise; for toe only
H panegyrio that is icceptable to Nature is that just
appreciation of her gifts which ocusists in the
full enjoyment of them."
Before tho month changes, however, tho gene
ral face of the country will have un lergjne a
ve-y material change since we left it las; month;
and nono of its individu 1 features, except the
woods and groves, have improved in thrir ap
pearance. Field' where the small grair.s were

Fight with an Elk.
The Ohio Btato Joarnal says that on Monday
evening last John Steiner, herdman to Mr. M.
L. Sullivant, had a desperate fight with a buck
Elk. Mr. 8. was attempting to drive away the
cows, when the elk, which has always associated
with the cows, constituting himself leader of the
flook, and making them go where be pleased in
the pasture, shook his head, stamped his feet,
and showed that he did not wish tr.e cattle togj
away. Mr. 8. picked up a stick, and me elk,
with his hair bristled up, plunged at him. Mr.
S. struck tho animal an ineffectual biow, and
then seizing him by the horns and nose, attemp
ted to proteot himself from tho thrusts of his
tremendous horns, and continued the struggle
for moro than an hour, wheu he fainted, and
the elk, thinking him dead, left him. Mr. 8.
was ardly able, when bo recovered his senses, to
drag himself to his cabin, and there he managed
—finding that owing to internal hemorrhage bis
breathing was becoming difficult, and there was
no one near to help him—to saddle bis horse
and ride to Franklinton, a distance of two
miles. His injuries are thus described :
One prong of the antler entered his ohest, a
little below the heart, laoerating his left lung,
toe other pieroing the right. A dreadful gash,
some five inohes long, on the right thigh, bare
ly missed the femoral artery, and tho back and
body are very muoh braised.
The elk has a ways previous to this occur
rence been peaoeable. He is described as a no
ble specimen of his race, proad and erect in bis
carriage, and crowned with a pair of enormous
spreading antlers.
Whet ilx« New York Citjr : Folk* Say
of Da M'LANE'S CELEBRATED VBRtfIFUGE.
ThH is lo certify that I am well a~qualntod with a man
fifty years of age, for many years a resident of this city,
who has been at times extremely ill, bit could not tell
from what cause, unless it was worms. He told his attend*
lug physician hfc suspicions, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, arid refused to attend him any longer-
His t'nn then mentioned Dr. M'Lane’s Yennifoga, and
ashed him if be woul i take It; his reply was—l must take
something to get relief, or die.
They at once procured a bottle of J>r. H'Lane's celebrated
TV? and took one-half at one dose. The result Was i
h* passed upwards of three quart! oj uottoi, cut up in
every form. He got well immediately, and is now enjoying
moct excellent health; and, like the good Samaritan of
old, Is endeavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors,
lie makes it his business to hunt up and select cases slmi
lar to his own, that may be given over by the regular phy*
eicians, and induces them to try Dr. M’Lane'a Vermifage,
an J in every case with the most happy results. He is well
satisfied that Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge is far superior to any
known remedy, and that if more generally known, would
not fail to save many valuable lives. For particulars, In
quire of Mrs. Hardif, Cannon street, New York Oity.

Standing Cared.—Mr. John Loagden, now living at

and Fever for three years; most ot the time be hmt chili*
twice a day, and rarely less than once: he was parched
with fevers as soon as the chill led him; and after trying
physicians, quinine, most of the tonics advertised, and
everything recommended to him, was aboat to give ap in

got two bottles, but before he bad ured more than a single

The mode of Inhalation, in case- of diseased lungs and

cessfully treated by local applications. This practice has
been pursued from the first with respect to external inflam
mation and corrosions, and we 6ee not why diseases of the
throat and lungs may not be treated in the same manner;
we believe they may. In this variable climate of oars,
where lung and throat complaints have become so preva
lent and rife, we earnestly recommend to the public, and
to the afflicted especially, to avail themselves of Dr. Cur tip
remedy.—[One who has tried it.] See advertisement in
this paper.
