Star of tfye Notify. R. W. WEAVER, EDITOR. tllooiiisliiirg, Wednesday, Nov. Ifci, 1H57. GOV. WA I K I K— KA NS \S. The Black Republican presses of die coun try have persisted in making war on Gov. Walker,-ever since his appoin'mont 1o that bed of roses, lire Governorship of Kansas. They have continuously ami systematically perverted his acts misconstrued his motives and objected to his course. But in spite of all their vituperation he has pursued a straight forward course, and one which, with the lights now hclbre us, we think will be heartily endorsed by the wliolo demo j -craltc party, and by tlio respects Mo portion, j if that can be found, of the opposition press. Threatened as ho has been, on all sides.— I incurring the hatred of the slave -tato party j an tho territory: and of the freo state fanatics ) in tlio north and east: he has tints tar shown the true Pennsylvania gril; being .i son ol J >ur own noble tSnile; and has succeeded in | giving u Iree and unlrnmeled expression to I tho will of the voters in tho Territory. 'J'lie result has been the success of the I Free Slate party —such a result as we always contended would come about under demo cratic rule—and the very result the Repub licans have parsistuntly endeavored, by their action and course, to detent. Oil this point we copy from the Now Vork Times, a loud shrickor for freedom, and a dismal nailer over Bleeding Kansas. The active free Stale partisans of Kansas, j mid their representatives here, have waged 1 a warfare, personal as well as political, ol j intense bitterness, upon Gov. Walker, from I lliu date of Ins appointment to the present I | hour. They have condemned every thing j , he has done, whether light or wrong, with- ' | out discrimination—ami not content with ' litis, they have impmnicil his motives ami ; ussai'cd his personal character, with the I . grosses! nui! must unjustifiable viu'oncc When ho Wits (ir.-t nppuiiilcd, tl.cy ttsscilcil that Lit wus going fur the express purpose of forcing slavery upon l\minis.

N It—The rpper roitmg milts belonging ir the Ueaen liuponu expioacd this morn ing Twemer hott r.ameu Saannou. were burned- be so. tatabv 'in is rvtw stay law, The most material change that has teen introduced in the law as it stood'prior to the 13th of October, 1867, consists in the foots that one year is allowed as a rtay of execu tion on all judgments, without regard to amounts, where the debtor is able to comply with the usual conditions ; whereas, hitherto, the lime of the eluy has been graduated ac cording to the amount of the debt. On judg ments herealier obtained, the stay is to be computed from the first day of ihe term to which suit is brought. A juJgmetit debtor could always plead his trochoid, but'.hat free hold consisted of unincumbered teal estate. Now he is allowed to plead his freehold, if hts estate be worth Ihe debt over and above existing incumbrances. In this respect the law has been modified. Hitherto, on juda ments befnro ulJermen, three, six, or nine months stay has been allowed and in court, six, nine, or twelve months, according to the nnioniit of ihe judgment, and the stny was j obtained either py pleading n freehold worth | the amount of the judgment, and free from incumbrances, or by entering the security of s responsible person. Now, the lime is made uniform, that is, one year, without re gard to the sunt recovered. But still ihero must bo security. There is no such a thing ns a stay without senility, and this egregious ignorance of ihe law should he nt once cor- ; reeled. There are also qualifications and ex- J cepthms in iho act of 13ih of Oelober, 1857, j which go far to deprive a defendant of the , benefit seemingly held out to him. If he j has hud his slay,- or il he has waived it he | cannot demand the new stay. Indeed this provision of the recent act, like many others [ to be found in it, promises to he a relief on'y | in name—an equity shadow mid n feeble hope. 11 will not prevent the bringing of a - single suit, and we venture to express the j opinio! that there is no one case in ten, per- ! haps not one m fifty, in which the debtor [ eon comply with its requirements, in order j to avail himselt of its so called benefits.— | I'l t.-s.

The following is the response so tar as the Hanks m this section of country are concerned, by which we arc glad to see that they will not submit to the imposition. The country banks must pro tect their own customers at home, and can not in justice to them keep a large portion ot their tends locked up m Philadelphia for the mere sake ot having their notes quoted at par.

The Post says, duplicates wore ac cordingly issued, and the collectors required to gito bonds for their collection. On the organization of tho new Hoard of Commis sioners, since the election, a resolution was adopted by it lequesting tho Collectors to refund four mills on-the dollar, of all tho taxes they had already collected, and autho rizing them in future only to collect halt tho amount of the duplicates. Tho collectors having given the required bonds for tho whole amount, and the Treasurer having notified iliem that he would require them to pay it by the STth of December next, a largo number of the Collectors met at the Court House on Wednesday, to consult together in regard to their duty in tho present enter geney. The adviee of eminent legal authori ty was. that the eolleetors demand an exon eration on each ol their bonds and dupli cates, of one half of the County tax, and that they be credited on the books'of the Trea surer with said amount, and that should tho treasurer or commissioners refuse to do so, tltoit the collectors shall go on and collect the full amount, according to their original wturants, until an injunction be issued. tVT Wo lo.iru from tho Carboudnlo .hi t'.niir. thill Mr. Qnnckotthiish aiul the widow of tin* late John Aitkon. have ouch brought n suit against the township ol Providence.

Amen." Tmc TRMI.S OF LIFK —Life is entirely made up ol great evils or heavy trials, but the per petual recurrence of petty evils and small trials in the ordinary and appointed exercise of the Christian graces. To boar with tho failings of those about ns—with their intirmi ; tics, their bad judgment, their ill-breeding, . their perverse tempers—to endure neglect when (vefeel deserved attention, and ingrat ! itude when we expected thanks—to bear with the company of disagreeable people I whom Providence has perhaps provided or : purposed for the trial ot our virtue—theso are the best exercises of patience and self denial. and the better because not chosen by ourselves. To bear with vexation in busi ness, with disappointment in our especta -1 tions. with interruptions of our retirement, with folly, intrusion, disturbance—in short whatever "opposes our will—contradicts our humor—this habitual acquiescence appears to be more of the essence of self-denial than any little rigors or inflictions of our own im posing These constant inevitable but infe rior evil*, properly improved, furnish a good moral discipline, and might, in the days of ignorance, have superseded pilgrimage and i penance.
