Walker's Polict. Some Paul Pry has seen
in Washington city, a copy of Got. Walker's
proposed introductory address to tho people of
Kansas, and has divulged its contents. The
leading points in the address are as follows :
Tho people of Kansas, in the State constitu
tion which they are about to fraino (pro-slavery)
must settle tho slavery question tor them
selves. The President recognizes the validi
ty of. the local laws (pro-slavery) providing
fur the June election, &c. ; and in regard to
the stand aloof policy adopted by the free
State party, Mr. Walker, says: "Throughout
our whole Union, however, wherever free gov
ernment prevails, those who abstain from the
exercise of the right of suffrage authorize
those who do vote to act for them in that con
tingency, and the non-voters are as much
bound under the law of the constitution, as
well as Ly an overruling moral necessity, by
the act of a majority of those who do vote, as
though all had.participated in the election."
He li.is to enforce the laws ; he thinks the
provisions for the election are smootliand fair,
and if there should bo frauds in the election,
tho Convention will be honest. But then, as a-
last resort, if there is a wrong there is a reme
dy In Congress, lie next says: "I cannot
doubt that tho Convention, after having fram
ed a State constitution, will submit it by a sol
emn oatli for ratification or rejection by a ma
jority of the jeop!e of Kansas." He enters
into an earnest constitutional argument upon
this point. But in this connection he ulso
snys : 'I bfvc, ev?r throughout my lire, re
garded the framing of a constitution by a con
vention of delegates as but a mere prelimina
ry proceeding, expressing but simply the o
pinios of the convention, but obligatory on
ly when ratified by a solemn vote of the peo
ple themselves."
Gov. Walker fore-shadows a new course of
policy, thus : "It is true that the constitution
ot a State, as has been the case with many,
may he silent on the subject of slavery; in
which case, in the absence of any prohibition
of ibe legislative power of a State granted in
one general comprehensive clause, the Legis
lature of the State, elected by the people,
might act on the question of slavery as they
have done in other States," &c. lie thinks
that this forthcoming Convention will have the
perfect right to adopt this course of non-intervention
in their State constitution.
In this pre-arranged address, he gives a new
kink to the Administration, faintly suggesting
a division of the territory "the great and fer
tile Indian country, soon, I hope, to become a
State, aided and encouraged by tho State of
Kansas;" said '-feitile Indian country" to bo
a slave State. It is to 1k5 seen whether the
Administration will act upon tho suggestion.
Evidently, the slavery propagandists now des
pair of holding the entire territory, and would
be thankful to get half the loaf rather than
no bread.
GENERAL WILLIAM WALKER.
Tho career of Gen. Walker in .Nicaragua has
been brought at last to its long anticipated ter
mination. On the 1st of May, yielding to the
conviction which must long before have forc
ed itself npon hi, as it had upon the minds of
all calm lookers on, he retired with his stall
and 200 men, I eing tho remnant of his force,
from Itivas, upon the San Juan dul Sur, and
went on board the U. S. sloop St. Mar) -.where
the whole party was kindly taken under pro
tection by Captain Davis and brought him to
Panama, whence they have found their way in
Empire City to New Orleans. They were re
coived npon their landing by a large concourse
of citizens, who are suid to have liouizedthem
considerably. The General will most proba
bly, if wise certainly, retire at least to his na
tive State of Tennessee, where his father and
family reside. He has lost two brothers in the
war, and ho himself has had a narrow escape
His own, family has suffered with hundreds of
others, whoso sons have been induced by him
into participation in his n'llibustering career.
Tho history of his expedition is full of instruc
tion, and it is to bo hoped that its moral will
not be lost sight of. We shall learn full par
ticulars of his final retreat by the Illinois, now
due at New York. It is stated that Walker
capitulated to the TJ. S. Commodore, because
he (Capt. Davis) had signified his intention to
eeize npon the schooner Granada, which held
Walker's reserve, and that Costa Rica was not
known in the articles of capitulation. This
language is unintelligible to us, as we have had
10 information of the United States having
been at war w ith Walker, or of any instructions
having been sent out to Capt. Davis to arrest
Walk.;r or to interfere In any way, for or a
gainst him.

LjP"In circulation here the nw cent.
Missouri to be Free. It seems to be re
duced to a certainty that an early and unex
pected fruit of the Kansas excitement will be
to precipitate the triumph of emancipation in
Missouri. Recent events have directed spe
cial attention to that State ; and her great nat
ural resources, ami almost boundless extent of
fertile and unimproved lands, have allured a
vast number of emigrants ft 0111 Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana and Wisconsin, each of these States
having contributed largely to the population of
Missouri this spring. The late emancipation
movement has greatly accelerated this emigra
tion, and the information which has been so
widely spread by the friends of free labor, in
regard to the small number of slaves in that
Stato and the limited space occupied by slave
labor, has had its natural influence. It appears
that the entire tlave population is about enc
hundred thousand, against a white population
of eight hundred and fifteen thousand. That
Slavery decreases wherever it comes in con
tact with the immigration of whit laborers is
demonstrated by a recent State census, which
proves that since the census of 1850 the white
population of the State has increased thirty
seven per cent., while the number of slaves
has increased but fifteen per cent, in the same
time. The high prices which negroes com
mand in tho Cotton-growing States operate at
the same moment to promote the results we
are noticing ; and as the extreme value of cot
ton bids fair to be maintained for a long time
to come, the migratory movement of the
blacks must continue, in accordance with the
inevitable laws of trade, and will go on increa
sing until it completely drains those more
Northern Slave States in which other labor
can readily be substituted. A prime field
hand will now command in the Cotton States
from $1,500 to $2,000, which, at the legal rate
of interest (10 per cent.) in Missouri, and the
cost of clothing and risk of keeping, is equiv
alent to $20 per month and board a price for
labor that would call to Missonri such an army
of foreign laborers as would speedily cause
her wilderness to blossom. At present the
hardy men of Iowa and Illinois, who under
stand the position and prospects of Slavery in
Missouri, are those who are availing them
selves of her cheap land and favored climate
the immenso eastern emigration to those
States enabling the older settlers to dispose of
their improved farms at high prices. Thus
the two forces of cheap lands and dear ne
groes are solving a political problem, under
tho operation of a natural, or if you please, a
higher, law, which is both inflexible and irre
sistable. A. 1'. Courier and Enquirer.
Watchman, wuat of the Night ? From
every quarter ol the State evidences of tho
prevalence of the best feeling continue to pour
in upon us daily in regard to the nomination
of Wilmot and all the candidates of the Peo
ple's Ticket. The cordial approval which the
nominations receive from the pruss are every
way encouraging, and show conclusively that
the people understand how deeply their rights
and interests are involved in the issue before
them, and how manfully they intend to meet
it. There arc small factions hinging about
the flanks of both parties, like the boys who
follow along the sidewalks the march of para
ding volunteers, but they are powerless against
the moral force and power of the principles
for which we contend, and the arguments by
which our righteous cause is supported. Or
ganizations are everywhere recommended, and
the great call is for American RepublicanClubs
the motte is Wilmot and Victory. Sua.
Pnocr.Ess op Romas Catholicism in theU
xitkd Statfs. In the year 1808, there were
in the United States one diocese, two bishops,
sixty-eight priests, eighty- churches, two ec
clesiastical institutions, one college and two
female academies. In 1855 there were forty
one dioceses, two apostolic vicaratcs, two
thousand eight hundred and eighty-two chiir
chos and stations, nineteen hundred and two
priests, thirty-five ecclesiastical institutions,
sixty-two male and one hundred and seventeen
female religious institutions, fifty-eight litera
ry institutions, &c, &c. This increase is main
ly the result of the large emigration to this
country. The relative strength of the Church
is not increasing.
Party Disaffection. A new move on the
Chess Board. We see it stated that a largo
number of disaflected Democrats, with the en
tire body "of the Liquor League," embracing
the legion of Dutch and Irish doggery-keepers
scattered broad-cast over the State, are a
bout to unite with the straight Americans in
tho nomination of Col. John W. Geary for
Governor, Packer and Wilmot both being
obnoxious to these very virtuous and excellent
patriots. Such a combination if consumma
ted, ought to disgust every good citizen of the
country, and we think it would. Running un
der such auspices. Col. Geary, or anybody else,
would jncrit, as ho would receive, a most in
glorious defeat.

E7"In Michigan, tho Democracy are having
a very bad time of it, on tho Dred Scott deci
sion. Tho Kalamazoo Gazelle (Democrat)
went over to the Republicans.. The Coldwater
Senlinel does tho same, and the Grand Rapids
Herald says : "Thcro is no use of disguising
the fact that the Democratic party of Michigan
is in an exceedingly dispirited condition ; and
unless there is some change in its tactics or
leaders, many a long day will elapso before tho
reign of Fusionism will cease."
XFThc reports that have appeared in some
of the public journals, purporting to have been
telegraphed from Washington, ti the effect
that a largo body of troops stated at two
thousand have been ordered to Utah, seem to
have had no foundation in fact- No order has
been given to any of the Bureaus in relation
to sending troops to Utah, as would have been
the case were the reports above alluded to

ANOTHER STASTf.IS'G TRAGEDY.
We have the particulars to-day of another
painful narrative of Mormon iniquity, seduc
tion and villainy, followed up in this iustance,
however, as it will bo seen, by a summary ven
geance from the injured husband. The ac
count which we publish below is taken from
the Van Burcn, Ark., Intelligencer, and gives
in briof the facts of the case pretty much as
they have occurred. From the Fort Smith
Herald and the New Orleans Bulletin we have
confirmation of the w hole story, up to the last
act in the drama, tho tragic death of Elder
Pratt, the Mormon apostle. Thus it will be
seen what utter ruin and devastation has been
w rought in a virtuous family by the designing
arts of a saintly sconndrel and the lures of a
false and licentious faith. Here is what the
Van Buren Intelligencer records of the terminr
ation of this afTair :
Tragical. It is with regret that we have to
chronicle the homicide committed in our vi
cinity on Wednesday last, by Mr. Hector II.
McLean, lute of San Francisco, California, u
pon the person of a Mormon preacher. The
deceased, whose name was Parley Parker Pratt
had been a preacher and missionary of the
Mormons at San Francisco, California, where
he made tho acquaintance of . Mrs. McLean,
whom he induced to embrace the Mormon
faith.
She was at that time living with her hus
band, Hector II. McLean; they, were happy
and prosperous until &hc made the acquain
tance of Pratt, and embraced the Mormon
faith. She is the mother of three children by
McLean, two boys and a girl, and seems to be
an intelligent and interesting lady ; converses
fluently, and with more grace and case than
most ladies. About two years ago, and soon
after she became a convert to Mormonism, 6he
made an attempt to abduct two of her children
to Utah, but was detected t.nd prevented .-by.
her brother, who was then in California, and
residing with his brother-in-law, Mr. McLean.
She soon after, however, found means to elope
with said Pratt to Salt Lake, where it is said
that she became his ninth wife.
After tho elopement of Mrs. McLean, her
parents, who reside near New Orleans, wrote
to Mr. McLehn, in California, to send the chil
dren to them. He did so. Several months
after this, Mr. McLean received news that his
wife had been to her father in New Orleans,
and eloped with the two yonngest children.
Ho immediately left San Francisco for New
Orleans, and on arriving at the house of bis
father-in-law, ho learned from them that Mrs.
McLean had been there, and after an ineffectu
al effort to convert her father and mother to
Mormonism, she pretended to abandon it her
self, and so far obtained the confidence of her
parents, as to induce them to entrust her In
the city of New Orleans with the children ;
but they soon found she had betrayed their
confidence and eloped with the children. Mc
Lean, on learning the above facts, immediate
ly started in pursuit of his children.
On arriving at Fort Gibson, and while there,
he found letters in the postoflice to his wife
from Pratt, some of which were mailed at St.
Louis, and others at Fint postoflice, Cherokee
nation. McLean, then, upon affidavit made by
himself, obtained a writ from the United States
Commissioner at this place for their arrest, and
succeeded in getting them arrested by the U
nitcd States Marshal. They were brought to
this place for trial, and after an examination
before the, Commissioner, were discharged.
Pratt, as soon as released, mounted his horse
and left the city. McLean soon after obtained
a horso and started in pursuit, and overtook
Pratt about eight miles from the city, and shot
him. Pratt died in about two hours after re
ceiving tho wound. This is a plain narrative
of the facts as we heard them from the most re
liable resources, which we give to our readers
without comment, as we feel that we are una
ble to do so with justice to all parties. But
deeply do we sympathize with McLean in the
unfortunate condition in which Mormon vil
lainy and fanaticism has placed him.
Fatal Accidekt. Two men were killed on
the llarrisburg and Lancaster Railroad ou
Thursday morning, May 28, by tho Express
Mail Train going west. They were walking
towards llarrisburg, on tho west track, and
stepped to the -other to avoid an approaching
freight train from tho west, not noticing the
mail train which was close upon them. The
engineer blew his whistle, hut tho engine
struck them before they had time to save
themselves, killing them instantly. . The namo
of Fitzgerald w as found upon one of them, and
a considerable amount of counterfeit monev,
together with some burglars tools. A boot
and shoe store, in Middlctown, was broken o
pen and plundered the evening before the ac
cident, and from tho fact of tho chisels found
upon tho deceased corresponding with the
marks on the rifled premises, it is presumed
that tho bodies are those of tho burglars. It
is also reported that a lumberman named Fin
ney was robbed, on the same night, who was
stopping at Kendig's Hotel, Middletown. His
room was entered through the window his
trunk broken open and $3,000 in cash taken.
The envelope which contained the money was
found on the men that were killed, but none
of the money.
fX7"The Sugar crop of Vermont this year is
estimated by tho Montpclier Watchman, at o
ver 8,300 tons, which is nearly fa ilf the maple
crop of the nation, as returned in 1850, aud
one-eighteenth of the crop of the U. States.
At ten cents a pound thW year's crop amounts
lo $1,GG0,1G5. The sales have been from .10 to
25 cents a pound, though comparatively little
has been disposed of. .
tt7"Orops are represented throughout the
country as generally good, though in some lo
calities, and particularly in the greater part of
Virginia, the wheat crop will , fail. In New
York the crops are reported as middling, in O
hio good, Tennessee better than ever before,
Virginia poor, Missouri excellent, Wisconsin
good, Illinois excellent, Michigan good, Iowa
excellent. ." . .
The Russian Railwat Scheme. The capi
tal of the Grand Russian Railway Company
has been fixed at 220,000,000 dollars. The
first issue of stock is to consist of .600,000
shares at 100 dollars each. The government
guarantees five per cent, per annum for sink
ing fund and interest for eighty-five years af
ter the completion of the lines. The contracts
are for the construction of four principal lines,
making a total of 2585 miles, at an estimated
cost of 82,500 dollars per mile. A more stu
pendous combination of capital with science
and governmental enterprise and patronage
can scarcely be imagined. The principal bank
ers and capitalists of Europe are among the
contractors, and the work is considered so sure
of its accomplishment despite all the jealous)''
and opposition of Western Europe, that with
in two days after the closing of the subscrip
tion in Loudon, a premium of five per cent,
was realized upon the stock issued.
It Is to be hoped that the people of the Uni
ted States will not, with such an example be
fore them, hesitate in the great work of con
structing the Pacific Railroad to San Francis
co. Its importance cannot be exaggerated,
and we should not be distanced by Russia in
the great race of internal improvement. Sun.
DeATn or Liect. Strain, U. S.' N. Lieu
tenant Strain, U. S. N., whose name is well
known to all residents on tho Isthmus as con
nected with the Darien Exploring Expedition
undertaken by the Urn ted States Government
in 1853, of w hich he was the commanding offi
cer, came out a passenger in the Illinois, to
join the sloop of war Cyane, at Aspiuwall, and,
we regret to say, died on Thursday night,
shortly after his arrival. His remains were in
terred in Mount Hope Cemetry, the corpse be
ing accompanied to its last resting place by
the officers of the Cyane and of tho British
ship-of-war Orion and Basilisk, and by many
of the residents of Aspinwall. On arriving at
tho grave, the Episcopal burial service was
read by the Chaplain of the Wabash, and three
volleys were fired over the grave by the sailors
aforesaid. The pall-bearers and sailors in at
tendance were in charge of Midshipman Grove,
and the sailors (vice marines) in charge of
Midshipman Allen. Both these officers and
their detachments performed their duties well,
and the entire conduct of the ceremonies was
creditably executed.
The Reward for M 'Kim's Arrest. The
Philadelphia Evening Journal, of the 19th,
states thr.t the "large reward" of over twenty
five hundred dollars, offered for the arrest and
conviction of David Stringer M'Kim, the mur
derer of Samuel T. Norcross, has dwindled to
five hundred paltry dollars, and for this there
are two claimants, Messrs. Koons and Wolf.
This diminution has been caused by the back
ing out of parties, who, before the arrest, were
willing to bestow indefinitely large sums upon
the captors. The reward claimed by Wolf has
been attached in the hands of the officials at
llarrisburg by his creditors. The Journal
states that thore are several rich phases in con
nection with the M'Kim affair, winch may be
made public hereafter.
Dr. Baimback in his travels on the cape of
Good Hope says I found very frequently a

I believe the only remedy this people buy to

Looking Gi'iltt. Nothing can be more
absurd than the idea of "looking guilty" prov
es guilt. An honest man charged with crime
is much more likely to blush at the accusation
than the real oirender, who is generally pre
pare Ttsf the event, and has his face "ready
matloV.ior tho occasion. The very thought of
being suspected of anything criminal will bring
tho.Mood to an innocent man's cheecks, in
nine cases out of ten. The most "guilty look
ing" person we ever saw, was a man arrested
for stealing a horse' which turned out to be
his own property.
A Chair of Hok.ns for tub President. A
backwoodsman, named Seth Kinman, of Hum

two immense deer of tho elk species some

which ho has presented to President Buchan

forming tho frame work and the scat being
made of the tanned hides of the animals.
K7"Rcbellious Priest. An Austrian priest,
(M. Braun, of the diocese of Passua,) has been
excommunicated for refusing to read in his
church tho bull in reference to tho Imaculate
Conception. He has published a book," in
which he boldly charges with heresy all who
have received the dogma, including the Pope.
He states that "thousands of priests," if they
dared, would speak and act as ho has donoi

when Walker presented himself, the assem
blage cheered enthusiastically, the bands play

In mas a Cointv. The Indiana Register, of
May 20, says : A friend sends us the particu

T. Hoover, of Smicksburg. It appears that on
the Ctli inst., tho deceased was accidently
thrown from a rait in the Mahoning, and bc
foie assistance could be rendered sank and
founds watery grave. On the 17th his body
was found several miles below from where he
sank, and on the 38th was inte'rrcd at Smicks
burg. The deceased had been for some years
a member of the Ev. Lutheran Church : was
man led in December last, aud leaves a wife,
an aged farther and mother, and numerous
friends to mourn his exit. Truly, "in the

Clinton County. On Monday, May 25th,
the body of a youth snpposed to be about 10
years of age, was discovered among the logs in
the boom at this place, by the men in the cm
ploy of the boom company. The Coroner be
ing absent, W. S. Gile, i.sq., was called upon
to hold an inquest. The body, when found,
was dressed In cotton shirt and gray undershirt,
satinctt pants, and kip boots. There was noth
ing found in the pockets or on the person of
the deceased by which he could be identified.
After the examination of the body ond such
witnesses as could be found, the jury returned
a verdict of accidental drow ning, and that they
believed the body to lie that of a youth who
was reported to have been drowned during the
late flood, at or near Grugan's in this county.
After the finding, Justice Gile placed the body
in the custody of Mr. Tucker, the boom mas

day evening in the Lock Haven Cemetry.
Cambria Co. John White of Johnstown,
had his back and wrist much injured by farting
from some height, at the rolling mill, upon a
solid iron plate. His escape from death was
most fortunate. A man was shockingly mu
tulated, on Wednesday last by the fremature
discharge of a blast which he was engaged in
preparing, in an ore bank. He is slowly im
proving. A man by the name of Bell was
arrested at Johnstown, charged with the beat
ing of his wife in such an unmerciful and bru

Ho was released on bail. Christian Gough
nour, of Conewaugh township, was run over
by a train on Wednesday in the presence of
his wife, who called to him, when she saw the
dangef. Three cars passed over him, when it
is supposed, ho made an effort to extricate
himself, and falling under the fourth car, it
severed his head Iroin his body. He leaves a
widow and 10 children.
