lkbow they're coming, far I hear
Tbeir vbiaperings roood am now;
I leaf their presence—but I do not fear
'For they are coming the lone bean to efater,
And gladden the sad brow.
Welcome sweet epirita in the glow
Of happiness ar.d joy;
Welcome hind visitors; ye whisper low
Of brighter lands beyond this vale of woe—
Of bliss without alloy.
I love your presence, for my heart
Is weary, lone and sad.
Yout influence sweat—bright hopes te me
impart;
And thro' ray mind cause pleasing thoughts
to dsn,
And make me'glad.
Ye win my thoughts from earthly love 1
And point me to the skies;
Ye tell me of :he Messed Lamb who bore
Our line, end bindly he lias gone before
That we to Heaven might rise.
Ob! sweet ibe thought, iliat augels bright
Round as iheir vigils keep :
Yes, spirits from the bnppy realms of light
Are watching round through the livelong
night
While sweet in peace we e'eep.
And when in early morn we wake
And loud our praises ring,
Oh yes! as freely from nor bosom* break
Our songs of thanksgiving—they gladly take i
And bear them to tbeir King.

PREACH Kit.
Things have changed. Before my Itair j
tamed gray with age and piety, clergymen
used to take tbeir texts from the Bible, end
preach peace end good will to men, women,
and little girls. Our old minister, whose
Sanday sermons chastised my Saturday's ap
ple stealing, didn't take a gunpowder text,
end, under Aromatic Schnapps inspiration,
preach a howitzer and eix-pouttder sernr.on,
liartog a submarine battery peroration, with j
a targe iovoioe of revolvers aud bowie-knives '
thrown in byway of rhetorical grace. He j
used to think bis duty was to keep his peo- j
pie from war and strife, and leach belliger- 'j
ant humane not to pult of their coat* for a j
free fight erery time anybody trod on their
come.
1 recently attended the performance of the
Rev. Blood and Thunder Screecher, who is
renowned for his prolonged shrieks lot free
dom, disunion, free Kansas, rnnawty dark-'
tee, Sharpe's rifles, bowie-knives, bulldogs, ,
and a big muss generally. He preaches else
tioneering sermons, and it is said that he oar- J
rite bis pocket full of Fremont ballots, and I
makes hie people take a vote on the presi-;
dential question every to sec that j
they ate all "sound on the goose." It is also 1
eiaertad that he spends bis leisure hour* fir- ]
ing tt the iron men in the shooting gallery,
end in throwing a tomahawk at a mark ; oc- ;
caaionelly varying those delightful occepa- :
none by taking boxing lessons, learning how j
to "gouge" Missouri, taking long drinks of
Aromatic Schnapps between times.
West lo the church, which was arranged
like a theatre, with the best place for those
who pay the most money—instead of a pul
pit there was a stags for the ministers to pet
torm on—people came in droves east* were

hie overcoat—than bo look off his ovrltooai

ThO organist here made preparations to

afar fritting the uppet chord of Q Sharp, a
furious dig to keep it quiet in the interval,
scampered to tb* reaeue, only stopping by
the way to bestow upon the middle C a coup
le of peoobaa byway of reminder—then the
player with bath bands, both foal, and his
knees, went at the poor instrument and bela
bored him so unmercifully m the fewer pipes
that be lost his wind nod cried, 'enoogb,' in
a roar of agony.
This was the prelude.
Then the singing commenced; tbo opera
folks stood ep to oarn their anoney; they sang
aa if the muscle teal* had been greased on
this occasion, and (hay were climbing for a
pig on tbo top of it; they would go ap a nolo
or two aad then slip bank—each one went
one notch higher than the one before him,
bat fell back before he reached the prize,
and hi* voice subsided into a discontented
growl low down in his rib*. At last, after
Ave trial*, each one of whteb ended in an at*
tempted squeak, ona female, with a mouth
like a hatchway, loosened her bonnet airings,
made a desperate scream, and went so high
that she finally get a firm hold of Ibe oleag
inous reward of merit, eod bote it off in tri
umph ; then they ell stopped.
This was the singing.
Then the muscular man came out of the
bowels with the preepiralien dropping from
hi* coat tails; a* he hadn't another snit han
dy, he sal down ia Ibe draught to dry.
This wee the finale.
Here the minister reed a number of gratis
advertisements for concert* and twenty-five
cent pic nics; then there was another single
handed combat between the organist and his
old enemy, and eome more greased-pig vo
calization by the thousand dollar choir, after
which the "star" preacher began to perform i
in earnest; he read a text and stock to the
subject for fifteen minutes, giving hie bear
ers "fits" about their short comings wheo
the plate is passed; then be gave a glowing
description of the joys of Paradise, aud by
his eloquent words had got ue eo far into the
spirit land that we could almost hear the de
parted spirits blew their eases, when sudden
ly tie cut sboit his high flown piety, end be
gan to talk politics and general news. He
spoke of the state of the stock markets, gave
notice of the new patent balloi-box, a re
view o( the encouraging prospects of Fre
mont, the value ol Sharp*'* rifle*, and Ibe
retail price of Schiedam Scbneppe.
1 Then he gave with Rreat gusto a delightful
! account of some imaginary pleasant Irantoe
; lions in Kansa*, wherein a couple of men
' were roasted alive in a burning log eabin,
while their wives were compelled by the a
miable border ruffians to superintend ibe
I cookery. Then he made some vfcry good
I jokes, at which the people laughed; then
! said something abont the "Union," which
| they applauded. I should have supposed my

eo many women that their bonnets looked

manner* and nncouth appearance had al

near sundown, outside th* pal* of civilixa
tioo. Ha showed the symptoms of a rapid
walk, eod hastily inqoired:
"Telegraph office, eh !"
"It is, sir," re pried the operator pehteiy.
"Suns from here to Dayton ?"

"Good! ! have got a right smart job for

We observed a comical expression flit

tended to note down a description of the
misting quadruped, and answered, "All ,
right, sir," to an assurance on the part of hi* .
excited customer that he wonld "drap in ac

When he returned, the first object that at- 1
traoted hi* attantion wa* a stamp-tailed pup
of the most diminutive proportion*, which
was tied to the leg of the operating table,
end saluted him as he entered with a shrill
bow! wow ! wow!
"You are juet io time, sir. Here ia your

At ibis point the speaker, having exbautl

"Very singular! extraordinary singular, I
must say. Ha* your correspondent made a
mistake, and forwarded the wrong animal ?"
"Mistake be cussed ! It's a regular swin

Gov. Grimes, of lowa, baa aent a latter to
President Pierce, demanding protection for
cilizeoa of lowa now in Kansas, end that tba
emigrant roots into tb* Territory should be
kept open. Notwithstanding that tha Gov
ernor makes this "demand," be eeeme to
hare a foregone conclosion upon the subject
without waitiqg to see what tha action of tbo
General Govommeat will bo, or wltboot in
quiring what it ba* been. Ha say* "the
Central Government having failed lo perform
its duty by protecting tbo people of Kaneae
in tho enjoyment of their right*, it j* mani
festly the right of the State* to adopt meas
ure* to prelect it* former citizens." This is
curious dBtrine. If Stat* government* are
lo usurp the duties of the General and Terri
torial Government* whenever they believe
the latter to be ramie* in the performance of
tbair obligation, they would pretty soon here
their band* full. If there is any obstruction
to emigration in lowa, Gov. Grime* should
immediately take measures to remove it. If
the obotraotion exists in any other State, tb*
Government of tbo latter State j* the proper
authority to provide measnres for its remo
val. So in .the Territory, either tho Territo
rial Government, or in ease tbo latter Gov
ernment ia not valid, the General Govern
ment is toe authority on whom tbo doty
1 devolves. Governor Grime#' jurisdiction does

Extract from tbo (Republican) Addmai of
tbo National Kansas Committee, Sept. 25th,
aa published in tbo Now York THtemr:
"Tho real Free State inhabitanla in Kanaaa
now number (according to the boat informa
tion) not loaa tbaa >O,OOO souls, while the
real permanent pro-slavery settlers do cot
number 5,000. Between these them waa
not and could not bo a question of prepon
derance in arms or in votes."
Now, with this groat preponderance ia fa
vor of Freedom, listen to what that acknowl
edged organ of Black Republicanism the N.
Y. Tribune, says:
"An election is this week to be held un
der the bogus law* for a new legislative as
sembly, which im hope to hear the pro-elavtry
parly will haw all to iltelf. They have Kan
aaa now completely in tbair bands, and will
keep it unless the people aeo fit to rout thorn
ia tho Presidential election. For freedom
in Kaneaa there ia not anolhet hope remain
nig."
In commenting on tho above tho Troy

"Here the 'Kansaa Committee' repreeent

pro-slavery men one; pod tba free State man,

Why Jewesses am Beautiful.
Chateaubriand gives a fanciful but an
agreeable reason for the fact that Jewish wo
men am so muoh handsomer thau (be men
i of tboir nation. He saya Jewesses htve es
caped tbo curse which has alighted on their
fathers, husbands and sons. Not s Jewess
was to b* seen among the crowd of priests
and rabble that insulted the Bon of God,
scourged Him, crowned bim with thorns,
-and aubjootod bim to infamy and tee agony
of tho oross. The women of Jodoa believed
in the Savior, and satiated ami soothed bim
aoder affliction. A woman ol Bethany pour
ad on his bead precious olottnent which tho
kept in a vase of alabaster. Tho tinner an
uointed his foei with perfumed oil end wiped
thom with her hair. Christ on, bis part ox
tended meroy on the Jewesses. Ho raised
from tho dead tho son of tho widow of Nain,
and Martha's brother Lazarat. He cored Si
mon's mother-in-law, and the woman,who
touched the hem af His garment. To
the Samaritan woman He waa a spring
of living water, and a compassionate
judge of tho wemon in adultery. Tho
daughters of Jerusalem wept over him; the

brought him balm and spices, and weeping
•ought bim in the sepulchre. "Woman, why

is exulted eeer by the Black Republicans
as worth to them a hundred thousand rotes.

tbe basest purposes they charge tbe conse
quences of tbeir atrocious acts upon the De

as the sun.
5. That tbe Black Republicans in Congress
voted against employing the United States
troops to pre seres order in Kansas, because
they thought that, if a bloody struggle took
place sa it certainly would without the sol
diers—they could make oat of it much po
litical capital.
• That the Democratic United States Son
ata repealed certain obnoxious laws in Kan
sas, bat lbs Black Republican Hants refused
to ooneur; since, by the continuance of
these laws, they made political capital.

and quiet would injure the Black Republi

8. Tbst the principles of the Nebraska-
Kansas Bill baa been most infamously mis
represented .by its opponents; thet it does
not legislate slavery into Kansas; but, on tbe
contrary, allows the actual settlers of the Ter
ritory the privilege (they ought to possess) of
making theit own laws on that subject as on
everything else.
9. That it is a melancholy exhibition of
igooranoe or rascality when in view of this
fact, tbe supporters" of tbe Nebraska bill
are caliei Pro slsvary man by the Black Re
publicans.
10. That the only party which has legisla
ted aievsry into Kansas is the Black Repub
lican, who by Dunn'a bill enacted that sla
very might exist in Kansas until 1858, and
that all ehiklien born in Kansas if tskeo out
previous to that lime might be bald s slaves
during life—and that the Fugitive-Slave Law
should be exlended aver it. This measure
passed tbe House, but was defeated in the
Democratic Senate.
11. It is a fact that, since the Government
was formed not a single acre of slave terri
tory has been added to Ibe Union that was
no: slave territory before, and three-fourths
of all foe acquisitions have inured to the ad
vantage of the Free Slates.
With this fact indelibly engraved upon the
oouotryfo record, be who talks of-Southern

They Dos t wist Peace Ha Kansafo
Gen. Leoe, of Kansas, has published a let

appoint one hundred slaveholders, bom and

been engaged in the conflict in Kansas, to

in prneeaee of twelve members of eaeh
branch of Cengmas, one-half ef whom shall
be selected by eaeh party, and tbe recall ef
the coolest to decide the Issue respecting
Kansas. This challenge shown hew much
tbe Black Republican leaders have the cause
of freedom at beam The people of this
country bane tbeir right* on cooatitutionel
law, not on "wager ef battle." Tbe fact ie,
the valiant Lane has taken op the eanse of

■r. Clay's Opiates.
In the debate* in the B*nate, at the session
ef 1890, Mr. Clay said:
"Sir, wbil* I was engaged in anxious con
sideration upon this subject, the idea ol the
Misaoori Compromise, as it has been termed,
came under my review, wat considered by
me, and ./tufty rejected, ea in my judgment
lot worth/ ef the aoeeptanee of both parties
of Ibe Untie, than tbe project which I offer
to your consideration."
And npon the policy which should be pur
sued, and which wee in fact poled open in
the organization of New Mexico and Uteb,
be said:
"The true principle which ought to regu
late the action ef Coegreae in forming Terri
torial Governments, is to refrain from ell le
gislation on tbe subject so long ee it is in
the Territorial form, leaving the people of
such Territory, When they haw attained to
the condition a State, to dmdtjor Ikon
sefoM the question ef the allowance or prohi
bition of slavsfy." ... * . , n -

slavery
The Pittsburg Morning Part disposes or
this convenient cstchword, briefly and con-
I clusively ss follows :
r i "Pbols talk about slavery as though if wis

, bin men know that precisely the reverse ie
i the esse. Seventy year* ago every State in
I tbe Union but eae were slave State*. No*

i territories will be admitted as free States, to
wit: Minnesota, Nebraska, Wohingidh AF
i egon, Utah, New Mexico end Kansas. Then
I there will be twenty-three free Steles and
, fifteen slaveflStatei. Then the Senate will

1 one see that the Bleak Republican stories
t about slavery aggression are sfolpiy Bee 7"
Statu LconLATvam— The House of Rep
resentative# will stand about thus:—Demo
crats, 58; Opposition, 42. It is probable
that the Opposition may have a small ma
i jority in the State Senate, but thd Democrats
will have a majority of twelve to fouhdea
, on joint ballot, and thus secure the election
of a Democratic United States Senator.
