He has very -little, if any, hop of an

consequently next year, when the peo

the State of politics in Kansas. The

The convention, though composed of
pro-slavery men, will submit the con
stitution to a vote of the people. The
constitution will be unexceptionable,
and the question of slavery will be sub
mitted as a separate proposition, so that
the elector c a n vote fer the constitution
and against slavery. About three to
one will vote against slavery. The
whole vote of the Territory is estimated
at 2:!,000. Of these 5,000 are pro-sla
very Democrats, 7,000 are Free State
Democrats, and 8,000 Republicans, 9,-
251 votes are registered, and of these
2,000 voted for delegates. It is estima
ted that the vote on the constitution
will reach 25,000. In Kansas the ques
tion is regarded as settled. The issue
now is, A:ill Kansas be a Democratic
or Black.llepublican State? I did not
meet one pro-slavery Mau in the Terri
tory who expressed the opinion that it
could be a slave State."

_for Buchman.—The Grand Rapids
(Mich.) Inquirer contains a full report
of the trial, conviction and expulsion
front the church of Deacon P. G. Steil-
bins, of the town of Alpine, in that
county. lie was the first deacon of the
church to which ho belonged—the Free
will Baptists, and the charge against
hint was that he sustained slavery by
voting for Buchanan. lie was also
charged with deception, because when
asked if he was going to vote for liber
ty or slavery, he said liberty. Steb
bins admitted the facts charged, hut
defended himself by saying that the
Denwcratic ticket, which he did vote,
supported the most liberal principles of
any ticket now in vogue.
" Maryland came out of the sectional

iei-She came out of the contest, says
the Winchester Virginian, with her co
lors stained with the blood of one hun
dred and fifty citizens ofßaltimore. But,
"Americans must rule America, at all
hazards and to the last extremity," is
the motto of the Plug Ugly Know
Nothings of Baltimore. We are sur
prised to hear boasting* of a victory
obtained through the disgracsful means
employed ;n Maryland at the last elec
tion. Who believes the Fillmore ma
jority of more than 7,000 in Baltimore
was fairly obtained? On the contrary,
it is believed that Baltimore is now as
largely Democratic as ever. It gave
Gen. Pierce upwards of 4,000 majority,
and would, it is confidently believed,
now give as large a Democratic majori
ty, 'if fairness at the polls could be
established.
tar The New York Tribune, speaking
of the slave trade, says :—" The public
are perhaps not aware that the amount
of capital claiming to have a home in
the United States, which is invested in
the trade, is no less than $3,000,000,
and its profit► $10,000,000 annually !"
The greater portion of it, no doubt, is
invested by men who are cvntinually,

The /Inverts,' andWranny of
the Scent Orftr,
It is amusing and sinnetimes even
di. ! n-ting to see how Know Nothing
journals talk. of the A Meriettill rty—
how intensely Americanized they feel,--
t what a besting love for everything
American is kindled in their very souls
— w h a t, an inveterate hatred they have
. for anything foreign. A Know Moth.
'tng orator will got np aid tell how he
loves his native land, and then preach
!a regular sermon againsit the Catholic
Church, and call tlkat Antericapisni, iu
order toget people to vote for him. This
kind of slang will do well enough to im
pose upon the stupid and ignorant, but
everybody that has common intelli
gence knows there is no particular tuer
it in a man's loving his country, espe
cially such a country as ours. No good
citizen would think worth while to tell
it ; and we suspect the fidelity of a man
who boasts of his patriotism, as we do
the piety of a man who braggs of his re
' ligion.
We wish the Know Nothinp.; did love
their native laud, which they talk so
much about—we wish the practical de
velopment of the secret order would at
test their devotion to the laws and con
stitution of the country.—They would
not then resort to mobs and riot, and
murder, and bloodshed, in order to get
into office they would not have a se
cret band of hired villains to trample
upon the constitution by driving peace
able citizens from the polls, on election
days, because of their disposition to
vote the Democratic ticket. We would
just ItS leave hear some love sick old
maid tell her love tales, as hear a Know
Nothing orator talk about his love of
, country.
Know Nothingism is not only hypo
critical, but it is more tyruenical than
the. must despotic ruler in Europe. It
promises civil and religious -liberty,
and yet by means of secret societies,
mobs, and brute force it deprives Amer
, lean citizens of the elective franchise,
and drives them like dogs from the
polls on account of their political and
religious sentiments, and on amount of
their birth place. When the Know
Nuthim.,4s talk about their love of coun
try. they only mean that they love the
offices.
The theory of Know Nothingism
promises civil and religion's liberty ;
practically it deprives Anw.-ican citi
zens of all the priv - 4eges which they
hold most dear. If Naryland is to be
carried at all by the Know Nothings, it
will be carried by the violation .of the
civil and religions liberty which her
constitution promises to nil her citizens.
Maryland is the only State in which
they pretend that they have any possi
ble chance of success and here they ex
'Wet, to triumph by means of 11106, riot
and murder.
';he secret order makes war upon men
On account of their religion, and violent
ly disfranchise then► on account of their
political sentiments, and on account of
their birth place, and if they had the
power it would not be long before they
would destroy the government itself.
How eloquently then is the American
citizen culled upon to put down this
secret faction, the violator of our con
stitution and destroyer of our liberties.
Snakes Abissa.—A large Rattlesnake,
captured alive, at Caledonia Springs,
passed through this place, in care of
Adams' Express Agent, on Tuesday

scenes of his life will no doubt be some
what different from the past." We
concur in
.that opinion and pity the
moral transformation his snnkeship is
bound to undergo by his change of lo
cality. The demoralizing influences of
city life in the society of Plug Uglies
and Know Nothings will, we fear, erad
icate every good principle imbued in
the pure atmosphere of Caledonia.—

Distressing Accident.—An accident of
a most heart-rending nature occurred
at the mansion.of Chambers McKibben,
Esq., near chambersburg, on Friday
week. TVO - of Mr. McKibben's grand
children—the one a boy about twelve,
and the other a girl about nine years of
age, were together in a room; the boy
by some moans got hold of a gun, and
in a playful manner snapped it at his
sister. The gun proved to be loaded,
and the contents were lodged in the
head of the little girl, killing her almost
immediately. This is another sad warn
ing against the practice of keeping
loaded firearms within the reach of
children. We sincerely sympathize
with the perenta 4n4 relatives who have
been as deeply ainiuted by this heart
rending bereavement.

"There is a hit of romance,sad enough

motion, at one time taking a south-west,
and at others an easterly course. Its
path was through the valley, with a
width of about 25 rods, and it soon as
