steered my little hark. I had my second pie
to] ready, for I knew not surely that the wretch
was dead. Ho might be waiting to catch me
off my guard, and then shoot me. But the
night passed slowly and drearily away. and
wren the morning 'broke .the form had not
moved. Then I stepped - forward and found
that Gustus Ka-1 was dead 1 He had falleuwith
his knife true to its aim, for it struck very
near the spot where my heart must have been,
and the point was driven so far into the solid
wood that I had to work hard to pull it out,
and harder still to unclasp the marble fingers
that were closed with ding madness about
the handle.
Swiftly flowed the tide, and ore the sun
again sank to zest I hal reached Logansport.
The authorities knew the face of Gustus Karl
at once, and when I had told them my story,
they poured out a thousand thanks upon my
head. A purse was raised; and the offered
reward put with it, and tendered to me. I
took the simple reward from the generous cit
izens, while the remainder I directed should
be distributed among-those who had suffered
most from the Wabilah robber's depredations.
I found Kemp'sicic - and miserable. He was
buining with fever, and doctors had shut him
up in a room where a well man must soon have
snifocated.
_
" Water—water 1 In God's name, give me
water 1" he gasped.
" - Haven't you had any ?" I asked.
He told me no. I threw open the windows
sent for a pail of ice -water, and was on the
point of administering it when the old doctor
came in, He held up his hands in horror,
and told me it would kill the sick man. But I
forced him back and Kemp drank the grateful
beverage. He drank deeply and then slept
The perspiration poured from him like rain
and when he awoke, the skin was moist, and
the fever was turned. In eight days hesat in his
saddle by my side, and started for - Little River.
At Walton's settlement I found my. horse
wholly recovered, and when I offered to pay
for his keeping the host would take nothing.
The story of my adventure on the river bad
reached there ahead of me, and this was the
landlord's gratitude.

TnURSDAY 'MOB NIN G
oU COUNTRY'S PROGRESS
In 1840 the city of Chicago contained only
4470 inhabitants ; ten years previously they
did not amount to one twentieth of this num ,
ber, whose rude houses, or rather cabins, were
clustered together around a fer,t garrisoned by
United States troops, to afford protection to
the wh't9s against the hostile incursions of
the neighboring Indians. It is_ now an im ,
mense city—the greatest railroad centre in
the Western country, affording probably the
most remarkable instance of the progress made,
and still making, by the Western States of
the Union. When another score of years
have passed, we shall have similar cities in
Kansas, Nebraska and Oregon. Within about
one•half the same number of years that Chip
cago has been growing up to her present im
portance as a commercial city, a great State
has come into existence on the far off shores
of the Pacific, with towns and cities and coin ,
merce, adding wealth to the nation and from
its rich mineral productions placing itself in
a relative position of vast and influential im
portance with its sister States. Such cities
as Chicago, and such States as California are
world's wondere.
Yet there are numerous districts of coun
try and hundreds of other towns in the West,
whose relative growth is scarcely less wonder
ful. Even our own city, which is considered
somewhat of an "old fogy," has within the
past twenty years more than doubled in popu
lation and business resources. Fifty years ago,
Pittsburgh then known as " the blckwoods or
Fort Pitt," was a small frontier post Where
is the frontier now 2 Look at the wealthy and
populous states now between " Old Fart Pitt,"
and "the West,"_ ,if any body has any fixed
idea where that point called "the West" is
now located. These things can only be un
derstood by comparison. In 1811, Cleveland
ha] apopulation of less than 1200 people, and
now it is one of the most beautiful second class
cities in the country. If some Rip Van Winkle
had gone to sleep a score of years ago, to
wake up in this day of railroads, telegraphs
and universal improvement and activity of
every sort, the pen of an Irving could not
sketch his wonder at the changes which have
taken place in the West, and yet in the older
towns of the East there has not been so much
change. The city of Albany for instance, the
second next to Jamestomn, Va., which was set
tled in the country, has . scarcely perceptibly
increased in population for the last half cen
tury. It is in the West where progress is
most marked and where the gigantic strides of
enterprise are most visible. The new States,
Kansas, Minnesota, and others which are
knocking at the door of till Union for admis
sion, afford and will exhibit equal evidences of
the great progressive spirit of our age and
country.
A CORRESPONDENT of a New York paper, in
speaking of the recent row in Congress, says:
"A Viiginia r, , pretzentative, who thought
Montgomery, of Painsylvania, was about to
t. pitch in," laid his hand upon hi 9 arm to restrain
hint, and erns peremptorily ordered to desist or
be kaock,.l down. Mr. Covode,.of Pennsylvania,
caught up a heavy stone-ware spittoon, with
which to "brain" whoever might seem to de
serve it, but fartuns.tely did not succeed in get
tiny far enough into the o emoited :rowel to find au
appropriate subject for his vengeance; and all
over the Hall everybody was excited for the
time."
We don't know how Covode would have
made it with his big spittoon in braining
Southern members, but we feel perfectly sure
if Keitt had undertaken the garroting process
on Montgomery, he wouldn't have knocked
him down, but deliberately picked out "three
links of his backbone" and pitched the bal.
lance of said Keitt up into the reporters gal.
lery. Montgomery's fighting weight is 265
poUnds; and he is reckoned in Washington
county the best rifle shot in it. It is said of him
he never shot a squirrel except through the eye,
and can perforate a five cent piece thrown in
the air nine times out of ten. He is remarks•
lily modest in this as in other things, and,
when asked about his remarkable skill, evades
or denies all knowledge of the fact.

FROM HARRISBURG.
HARRISBURG February 8, 1858
The House session this morning was nearly
entirely consumed in a debate on the propriety
of divorcing Thos. Washington Smith from Elizt
heti' G. M'Cauley, his wife. The objectiontirged'
wits that there was no evidence but that the
courts had jurisdiction. However the vote was
finally taken which resulted in the affirmative by
ayes 52 to nays 32. The Senate had previously
pessed the bill, so Mrs. Smith is again Miss
M'Cauley, with liberty to marry whom she
cheeses. I noticed her father in the Hall during
the session, perhaps the most interested auditor
present. He is here, lam informed, on other
hueiness, and takes no part one way or,the other
in this divorce business.
Yesterday's session was in like manner con
sumed by a debate growing out of a point of or
der raised by Mr. M'Clure, of Franklin, as to the
power of the llsuse to instruct a Committee not
to make a report when they had once intrusted
them with any matter. After a long and able
discussion by M'Clure, Williston and Rose, upon
one side, and Goepp, 0 wens and Nill upon the
others, the point was negatived—ayes 29, nays 50.
Mr. Foster read in place this morning, a sup

The An Leeomp ton Res held a great meet
ing in Philadelphia the other eve; ning. Jno.
W. Forn,y, presided, who addressed the
meeting, as also F. P. Stanton, acting Govern.
or of Kansas. The following resolutions were
read by Edward G. Webb :
Whereas, The Kansas and Nebr i aska act and
the Cincinnati platform both embody the just
principles of popular sovereiguty alien which our
Government and all our institutiona are based,
and recite, iii potent language, the uomibtall
able meaning of their text, that to the people
ev(..ty origmzed State and Territory belongs,
of right, the prerogative of regulating for them-
selves their own domestic and local affairs within
the limits of the Constitution, we, the Demcoracy
of Philadelphia in, town meeting assembled, do
hoeby announce, that wo will sternly adhere to
the great principles thiittiatcti I.y these two
truthful guides for the progress of (.cr•y:rty,
believing that the safety of our Republic, and
the happiness of our peple depend entirely upon
au honest adhesion to the clear import of the
Cincinnati Platform and the Kansas Nebraska
act :—therefore be it.
Resolved,. That as the Democratic party of
PAinnsylvauia, in the late Presidential contest,
plidOed its faith to the people of the State and
country, that the citizens of Kansas and all the
other Territories of the Union, should decide
f.,r themselves the character of their domestic
institutions—and as this sacred pledge had the
willing sanction and ardent approbation of Mr.
Buchanan, and was repeatedly reiterated in our
city and State by Secretaries Cobb and Floyd,
Postmaster General Brown, and others, during
that memorable campaign, it would be both un
manly and disgraceful to us, as Democrats, to
violate a promise so sacredly given, on the inde
fensible ground of expediency alone—that be
ing the only reason yet adduced by the friends
of the Lecomption Constitution to justify such
violation.
Resolved, That we declare it to he our un
shaken determination to resist, every attempt to
force upon the people of that Territory any Consti
tution which has not had their express approval,
conscious Its we are that resistance to aggression
is the only means by which unparalleled wrongs
can bo redressed. The people of thirty one
States and two teritories of this Union (Oregon
and Minnesota) have had their paramount
submitted to theta, in all its parts, for approval
or rejection ; so thaccustom, even in the absence
of the Kansas Nebraska act au I the Cincinnati
platform, points with unerring finger to the injus
tice of ratifying the Lec,omptorsConstitution. If
custom cannot secure acquiescence, or antiquity
a'small degree of respect, power will surely fail
to secure obedience to error.
Resolved, That ,as States Rights Democrats,
jealous of any infraction of this wholesome doc
trine, we shall oppose every attempt to interfere
with the sovereignty of the States, either North
or South, or with the people of the Territories
seeking admission into this Union—the sole
guide of the latter being found in the express
terms of the Kansas Nebraska act—and the ac
tion of the former resident in the inherent right
to make, alter, or abolish their Constitutions in
the way prescribed by the citizens of the indi
vidual States.
Resolved, That the Democracy here assembled
have the most perfect confidence in the integrity,
patriotism, and statesmanship of Governor Pack
er,and hail with enthusiastic admiration the dec
laration enunciated in his Inaugural Address,
that "To the people of Pennsylvania the admis
sion of a now State into the Union—into that
.Confederacy of which she is a member—must be
at all times a subject of high interest. And 1
believe I express their sentiments, as well as my
own, in declaring that all the qualified elective
of a Territory should have a full and fair oppor
tunity to participate in selecting delegates to
form a Constitution preparatory to admission as
a State, and, if desired by them, they should also
be allowed an unqualified right to vote upon such
Constitution after it is framed. This is the true
doctrine of popular sovereignty, as it was unan
imously waderstood and expressed at
by the Seuthern and Northern Delegates to the
Convention, who framed the Platfer
m in and nom
inatied James Buchanan for the Preeillea;Sy:t
Resolved, That we cling with unabated zeal to
the confidence we s laStaie long reposed iuJi3Maes
Buchanan, Preside n . _,United States, that
we supported hirtati in 1856,_4'pzu
tbe great principles .Saitnciated at Cincinnati;
411 - that we approve and support every part of
his policy, ,thus far developed, excepting that
in reference to Kansas, from which we do rese
pectfully, hut fixedly, dissent.
Resolved,- -That truth is the real object of the
masses; the avowed object of all ; but truth can
neither be-long divided against herself, nor made
destructive of herself. She solicits inquiry and
courts investigation ; her desire being to Beek
true premises, 'that fair conclusions may be
drawn therefrom. Now, therefore, as the truth
in reference to the becompten Convention hat-
reached the mind of the American parole, nod
cannot be obscured, we express the earnest hope
that Gongrese and the President will unite in
sending back the vitiated Constitution to the bone
fide citizens of Kenees for their rejection' or rad
tioation.
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the
people of all the Territories, including Kansas
and Nebraska, actineathrough the legally and
fairly expresec I will of a majority of actual reel
deets, and whenever the number of their inhabi
tants justifies it, .to form fi Conetitutiou, with or
withbut domestic slavery, and be admitted lido
the Union upon terms of perfect equality with
the other States.
Resolved, That our immediate representatives
in Congress, Messrs. Florence, handy, Phillips,
a id Jones, be aequested to oppose the Lecomp
ton fraud, as such is the desire of three-fourths
of the Democracy of Philadelphia and Mont
gomery counties, whose on on that exciting
subject it is their duty to consult ; and by so
doing, add in sustaining the rights of the people
as expressed, in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and
inculcated by the Cincinnati Platform.
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the anti
ments of Gveraor Wise, Senator Douglas, Gover
nor Walker, Secretary Stanton, Hon. Mr. Harris,
and their worthy coadjutors in Congress, in ref
erence to popular sovereignty, and pledge them
our earnest support in their patriotic effort; to
maintain out institutions in their republican sim
plicity, as developed in the doctrine of State
rights.
Resolved, That the Democratic party of this
great city has alwaye been distinguished for its
devotion to the rights of the States including
those of the South : and that in contending for
the groat principle embodied iu the Kansas-Ne D
braska act, and for the fulfilment of our pledge
in 1856, we claim to be supporting the true
interests of the South, and as taking • the '
only course that is consistent with our obliga
tions as members of the National Demecratic
party.
Resolved, That we extend the right band of
fellowship to our brother Democrats in New
Jersey Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon
sin and lowa, who have so nobly resisted the
attempt to force the Leoompton Constitution
upon the unwilling people of Kansas, and now
call upon our political Mande in Pennsylvania
everywhere to respond to the sentiment which
protests against that unparalleled fraud.
(For the Morning Post.]
Hr. Editor :—I have been considerably edified
by the zeal with which the Daily Union attempts
to defend the Lecompton Constitution at all
points, and to sustain the Administration at
every step. At one time he has no hesitation in
saying that the entire Constitution ought to have
been'submitted to a fair vote of the people; and
then, as if to make amends for so great a conces
sion, he devotes several successive issues of his
paper to prove that there was no great necessity
for submitting it; that the Convention was not
bound to permit the people who were to be gov
erned by it, to say whether it met their approval,
and that the people having failed to vote for del
egates—some because they had no opportunity,
others because they had no confidence in the,
honesty of the election officers—thereby disfran-
themselves, and lost all right to be heard
upon the question of their form• of government
and their internal institutions. One time he ad
mits the right of Democrats to differ With the
President and still retain their position in the
party, and again he classes them With Abolition
demagogues.
The editor has manifested a good deal of boast
!nlness over the anticipated triumph of the Le
compton Constitution; but the recent Congres
sional action on Mr. Harris' resolution-bas evi
dently weakened his faith in the success of that
measure, and has consequently put him out of
humor. He reads Mr. Harris a long lecture for
raising a select committee to investigate the elec
tion frauds in Kansas and all facts relating to
the Lecompton Constitution. He thinks it the
duty of Democrats "to go with them (the Ad
ministration) so long and so far as honor and
right will permit." This is certainly correct;
but who is to determine how long and how far
"honor and right will permit "'a man to go? Is
it to be left to the conscience and judgment of
each individual ? or is it to be determined by the
Administration ? • Doubtless, Mr. Harris,and all
who think with him, believe firmly that hey can
go no farther with the Administration without a
sacrifice of hone e and right. I would not im
pugn the motives of the Administration ; they
certainly :Ere honest io th,ir views. LA theta
entertain thorn: we, the same privilege
lint the espcial iitient::,. of Al:. Harris, in the
eye of the Union, consisted in attempting to
hnva the Lttcompton neAter taken out of .the
h.inds of a Committee known to bel in favor of
it, and to have it referred ton distinct Committee
whose especial business is to colledt all the in
formation possible, and let Congrss and the
world know the whole truth about t at precious
document.- This is not by any me ns the first
Special Committee that has been ra sed in Con.
gress, and why it should excite t 43 ire-of the
-Union we ire at a loss to know. 'hero was a
peculiar necessity for a Select Committee in this
case, because the regular Committed on Territo
ries have enough ether matters to occupy their
tir.Ac end attention, and even the Union will con
cede the importance of having a spee..dy report
and definite action on the Kansas question.
But, in addition to the propriety of choosing
a Select Committee. ,here is another reason why
the censure of the Union was inconsiderate. It
so happens that the original motion for this Com
mittee was made by Mr. Hughes, one of the
Union's friends, and the champion of the Lecomp
ton Constitution. Mr. Harris merely amended
his resolution. So that any disrespect that has
been committed towards the President or the
Standing Committee on Territories has been done -
by one of their own party, and on him must the
Union turn its frown of censure. The Union
professes not to regard this as a test vote, but the
whole tenor of yesterday's leader shows more
disappointment than will well accord with this
belief. If it was not a test vote, why was an
entire night wasted in the contest ? and how does
it happen that every man known to be opposed
to the Lecompton Constitution voted for Mr
Harris' amendment, and every oncein favor of
that instrument voted against the amendment ?
But all these are side issues. The one great
question is: Should Contress force upon the
people of Kansas, against their most solemn and
emphatic protest, a Constitution tainted with
suspicion, if not with trickery and fraud? The
Union has admitted that under the organic act of
the Territory, the Convention was bound to sub
mit the question of slavery or no slavery to a
fair vote of the people of Kansas. Has this
been done ? We deny it. The Constitution and
schedule were so ingeniously arranged as to
" keep the word of promic , e to the ear and break
it to the hope." True the Convention declared
that the people might vote for the "Constitution
with slavery " or the ".Constitution without sla
very," and that if a majority voted the latter
ticket then the clause providing for slavery should
be stricken out, and " slavery should no longer
exist in the State of Kansas, (except that the right
of property in slaves now in this Territory shall in
no manner be interfered with.") In order clearly
to understand what this Convention understood
as " the right of property in slaves," let us go
to their Constitution in which they declare that
"The right of property is before and higher
than any constitutional sanction, and the right
of the owner of a slave to such slave and its in
crease, is-the same and as inviolable as the right
of the owner of any property whatever."
So that although a majority of the citizens of
Kanas should vote for the "Constitution with
out slavery," and although " the clause provid
ing for slavery" (not the one just quoted,) sliculd
be stricken out, still "the right of property in
slaves then in the Territory " and to " their in
crease" remains "inviolable" and can "in no man
ner be interfered with." Who will dare say that
this was a fair submission o the question of sla
very ? There was no opportunity for the people
to vote against having any slavery ; but they had
only the poor privilege of saying whether they
would have slavery immediately inerhased by
new. herds being driven in, or whether they
would take it with the gradual increase of those
slaves already in the Territory. In either case
it was slavery, and there was no means of pre
venting it. Was this permitting the people "to
form their domestic institutions in their own
way ?" Was it a fair and manly manner of sub
mitting the question of slavery or no slavery to
choice of those to be affected by it ? Was it any
submission at all'? The Union has said that the
Convention were bound- to submit this question,
if none titter ! We hold him tn.it. They have
not submitted it—they have violated their obliga
tions. How, then, can Congress ratify their act?
How can the Democratic party be called on to
sustain a niensure thus enveloped in trickery and
decepticqe and which is vehemently condemned
by threeurths of the people of Kansas?

lost all faith in them all, bat thorn is ono exception.
We speak of Dr. Sanford's invieorator, which came to us
recommended as a cure for Liver ,Complaihts, and all dis
eases arising from a Diseased titer. The testimonials of
so many of our Physicimis'in its favor, induced us to try ii,
and now conviction is certain that it is ono of the greatest
bluesings ever . given to Dyspeptics, for it Made a complete
cure before the first bottle seas taken, and inow we can eat
anything eatable without trouble, while bafor °thing lin

Now what wo want to say to all our readcri is, if Liver Cum

with no avail. I also sent him to the country, but it proved
of bat little benefit. Baying a bottle of Gorman Bitters in
the house, I was persuaded to try that, wilizh to my aston
