the very interesting ceremony of pointing my
face with block paint—thus marking upon it
the letter R. Just how that provedr-that it
will be belter for the people of Kansas to
'make Kansas a elavo Slate, rather than a
free Slate—l am not informed. Certain it is,
however, they attached great importance to
the operation. Your readers, Mr. Editor,
would hare been infinitely delighted at the
jokes that were perpetrated at the expense of
my face.
This ceremony being ended, and the com
pany having now grown to some thirty or
forty persons (boys included,) my trial began
—if that be called a trial, in which there was
neither judge, jury, law, order nor counsel
for the prosecution or defense. Loafers and
gentlemen, old men and beardless boys, scarce
old enough to swear grammatically, drink
whisky or chew tobacco, all seemed to take
it for granted that the Court was organized
<* the principle of a free fight—and so, se
verally and together, they pitched in, every
one on his own hook. For the space of about
two hours 1 became a sort of target, et which
were hurled all sorts of mirsiles, in the shape
of curses, imprecations, arguments, entreat
ies, accusations, and interrogatories. Acting
on the principle that the Holy Roman Inqui
sition is.right when she demands that the pris:
oner shall testify against himself, they pro
ceeded to question me concerning my motives,
actions and intentions—while I replied as
best I could, that my coming to Kansas was
projected before it became apparent that a con
troversy would arise relative loslavery—that
1 came for reasons independent of and extra
neous to this question—(hat 1 never bad any
connection with any emigrant and society
whatever, andlhat 1 never made any com
munication to any paper in Kansas or out of
n, concerning Kansas affairs. I even prof
fered them that if they would make out in
my presence an impartial repoit for the Squat
ter Sovereign, I would make no report to
other papers of this outrage upon my person.
1 was not accused of tampering with slaves.
I explained to them that I could not counte
nance any in'erference with the relation of
master and slave in Kansas while that ques
tion remains an open question.
“The very head and from of my offending
hath this extent, no more.’’ I had spoken
among my neighbors favorably to making
Kansas a free State, and had said in the of
6ce of the Squatter Sovereign, “1 am a free
soiier, and intend to vote in favor of making
Kansas a free Stale.”
"At length they came to consult what they
should do with me. Ira Norris, E'q., late
resident in Platte City, jmd clerk of the coun
ty court of Platte county, (a Yankee by birth
and education) came to me and said, “Mr.
B. 1 will advise you for your good, as a friend,
when you gel away—just keep away.” 1
said, “Sir, I expect to go away, but 1 intend
to come back again.” I said, “I cannot leave
—1 own real estate here close by Atchison, in
the Slate of Missouri, and 1 have a claim on
Stranger creek —1 cannot leave,’’ Some one
remarked, “You can sell your claim through
an agent.” 1 said, “1 will neither sell my
claim through an agent, nor in my own proper
person. If you do not take my life, I intend
to live on it.” They said to me again, “Well,
stav on your claim, but keep away from Atch
ison ” 1 said, “Gentlemen, if you do not
lane my life, and Providence permits,! shall
come back to Atchison.” They said, “Ifyou
come back again to Atchison, we will hang
voc ” They offered to show me the very
tree on which they would hang me.
“They made another proposal: “Well,
live in the country, and vote, as you think
best, but hold your longue.” I said, “Gen
llemen, I have done you no wrong 1 had as
good a right to come here ns you, and have
os good right to speak mv mind as you. I
shall do my duty as 1 understand it; now do
you do the same. You are many, lam but
one mao—dispose of mo as you think best.
I ask no favors of you ”
“They sent me down the Missouri river on

Steamboat Polar Star, Missouri river,

The Kansas Legislature is running so
wild in the enactment of laws, without an
Executive, as to excite the condemnation of
a multitude of slave holders and others in
-Missouri... We quote the following frohj the
St. Louis Democrat, under the head of Beach
Laws in Kansas t '
"We invite the attention of Missourians
especially, and in fact the whole people of
the United States, US its bloody provisions
where by the life of a white man is made of
less consequence and value than the services
of. a negro slave, A Roman Emperor is
said to have written his edicts so fine, and
hung them so high, that the people could not
read them, and thereupon to have glutted his
appetite for blood to the uttermost upon the
unconscious violators. This, we think, is
fully parallelled by the decision of the Kan
sas Legislature not to print their Draconian
Code. The twelfth section reads as follows:
Sec. 12. If any free person, by speaking,
or ty writing, assert or maintain ikatpertont
have not the right to hold datee in the
Territory,' dr zhaU Kansas,
prints publish, write, circulate,tor cauie to be
introduced into the territory, written, printed,,
published, or circulated in tbia territory, any
book, paper, magazine, pamphlet, or circular
containing, any denial of the rights of per-,
sons to hold slaves in this territory, such
person shall be deemed gniltjr oflblohy, and
punished by imprisonment at hard- labor lor
a term not less than two ypars.
“This is no more nor less than making a
difference of opinion, upon a constitutional
question, a penitentiary offence. It estab
lishes the prison and the pillory as the arbiter
of constitutional law, in preference to the ju
diciary of the land, makes the human mind
square its convictions to the ideas of a few
accidentally elected legislators.
Men are no longer to be permitted in the
new territory to express abstracts opinions
upon moral questions without suffering (he
ignominious penalties of a State Penitentiary,
and that is what is called opening the territo
ries to the people of the whole. Union, and
admitting all persons to the enjoyment of its
fair lands. Squatter sovereignly was much
lauded by Gen. Cass and Mr. Douglas, in
the outset, and yet, under this phase of it,
both Mr. Douglas, and Cass would be sent
to the. slate prison, if they dared to utter in
Kansas territory what they have repeatedly
said in glowing language in the Senate of the
United States.
Mb. Joel Lyons, of Greenfield, Mass.,
has a pear tree which, for two years past, has
borne two crops of pears, and (his year it has
had two crops of peels,on it, and has now
blossomed for a third crop.
The Missouri papers say more corn will
be raised in that Slate this year than for any
five years before. Much of the wheat land
averages 40 bushels to the Here.

AYER’S PILLS,
Ajtbw and singularly successful remedy for tbs
cure of all Bilious diseases' 1 1 lnd
igestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, fevers,
Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back,
and lambs, Female Complaints, &c. &c. Indeed,
very few are the diseases in trhicha Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and much rich
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less bat effectual Cathartic were more freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails; besides it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely dnd judicious use of a good purgative.
This is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which, toad hearses an over me laud, lienee a
ft&iss-ftffSsaa.
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes
sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing
any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such molted position and
character os to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the many eminent gentlemen who have
testified m favor of these Fills, we may mention:
Db. A. A. Hates, Analytical Chemist, of Boston,
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high
professional character is endorsed by the
Hon. Edwabd Everett, Senator of the TJ. 8.
Robert C. W inthbop, Ex-Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
Abbott Lawrence, Minister Plcn. to England,
f John B. Fitzpatrick, Cath. Bishop of Boston.
Also, Dr. J. R. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. Marot, Secretory of State.
Wm> B. Astor, the richest man in America.
8. Lbland & Co., Propr’s of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
. Did space permit, we could give many hundred
certificates, from alt parts whore the Pills have
been used, but evidence even marc convincing than
the experience of eminent public men is found in
. Ihcir effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
•tddy. are offered to the public as tbe best and
mOfct'complete whifcb the present state of medical
adenre can afford. They ore compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process’in a state of purity, and combined together
m such a manner as to insure the best results. This
system of composition for medicines has been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob
vious. While by the old mode of composition, every
medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the, curative
effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qual
ities of each substance employed arc left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is
self-evident the effects should prove as they have
proved more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer,
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
Ab it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should be token under the counsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not property judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
supplied the accurate Formula? by which both my
Pectoral and Pills arc made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the 'United States and British Amer

Of all the Patent medicines that are offered, how

Their life consists in their mystery. I have no
mysteries.
The composition of my‘preparations is laid open
to aD men, and all who are competent to judge on
the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was
pronounced by scientific men to oea wonderful
medicine before its effects wore known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing of
my Pills, and even .more confidently, and are will
ing to certify that their anticipations wero more
than realised by their effects upon trial.
Thoy operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action—remove the obstructiona of
the stomach, bdwels, liver, and other organs of the
their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange*
ments as are the first origin of disease.
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take,
and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
