Abused by Both Sides.—Gov. Walker, ,
of Kansas, has stirred up the ire of the;
idairery ettensionists in the South, by 1
Its Yee* nt speech in favorer submitting I
the Constitution to a vote of all the 1
bona fide residents in Kansas, next
September. While he is abased round
ly in the Soath as a traitor, the rabid
portion of the anti-slavery party North ;
denounce him just as strongly as a triek
ster, who is merely holding out promises
never meant to be performed, in order
felon the North into a security- fatal to
the freedom of Kansas. It is a very
good proof that a roan means right, 1
and his poeition is a fair one, when
it satisfies neither of the extreme fac- I
tiona arrayed in mortal enmity against
each other. With the violent- and in -1
temperate nothing but wholesale meas..;
area will satisfy. They have fed their
bitterness so long, that either there
*oust be a complete triumph to rejoice !
over, or a full vengeance to grAtily.--1

The IA& of Gilrernor „Marry.
—The Albany Argue hits some partieu
!ars of the brief ilhiew awl midden
death of ex-Secretary Marcy. It says:
• t;ov. 3larcy was spending a few
weeks at Ballston previous to his de
parture with his Wady for Europe.
Uu Fridsy ho visited Albany, calling on
Mx. Corning and other friends, and
stopping at Troy to see his daughter.
Mrs. Marcy was visting some friends
in the West, previous to her departure,
and other members of his ftuaily were
absent with the like motive; and he
was comparatively alone at the time of
his decease. Ile was, however, in ap
parently excellent health and buoyant
spirits. It 41 only since his death that
we learn of his having been conscious
of late of palpitation of the heart, hut
the symptoms had not alarmed him,
noroceasioned uneasiness to his friends."
A letter to the Argus, dated Ballston,
July 4th, says:
.Ile had been enjoying excellent
health and spirits until hest evening,
when ho felt somewhat, fatigued. This
morning ho complained of a slight pain
or " stitch "—as lie termed it—in his
back. About 11 o'clock A. M., accom
panied by one of our citizens, he walked
to the residence of Dr. L. Moore, which
is about one quarter of a mile from the
hotel. He did not complain of serious
indisposition while at the doctor's resi
dence, and not finding the physician in,
on being asked if a carriage should be
ordered to take him to the hotel, ho re
fused to take one, and walked back.
On arriving at the hotel he requested
the (Aloe clerk to send the doctor to
his room ; and the doctor soon arriving
was sent up to the Governor's room,
but, on rapping, received no answer.
" The doctor returned to the hotel
office and informed t beelerk, and it was
supposed that the Governor had gone
to visit some friends in the horse. The
doctor, however, after wilting a
.few
urinates, again went up to his -room,
opened the door and found liim lying
on his conch with a book upon his breast,
dead. It could not have been more
than twenty minutes from the time he
was in the hots( office until he WAS w►
found by the physiciam. He died,
probably, of disease of the heart. Not
a muscle was distorted, nor any article
of apparel or furniture in the room
disturbed. He haul pulled off his boots
and put on his slippers."

of mankind, and is founded in the most
stapid ignorance. To proscribe a MID
on acconnt of his religion or birth-place,
is a relict of barbarism which no decent
man should tolerate. And what is the
corner stone of this wicked faction ? It.
is laid in blasphemy and an outright'
mocking of God. When men gnat to

masses who venerate heaven and relig
ion, resolve that there is a Gal. and
there is a Bible, when in their private
opinions, and private conduct, t ey mako

of moral depravity which makes a lover
of his kind blush to see it. At the same
time that Know Nothingism professes
so much respect for God and his relig

and riots and murders heretofore MA
known in America. But the other day
it .sent an armed band of rowdies from
Baltimore to control •an election in

of that place while engaged in casting
