who knows him. ITe has no object of earth

The most tufaiuuus crimes had been habitu

purposes. They would be ruled by nothing

the couutiy, was to put an end to the reign of
terror, joiolagration and blood, as soon as
possible, and to substitute in its place the su
preme and peaceable rule of the law. The
army might do for a while, but it was a di-
1 grace b the American name that a mnitarv
lorco was necessary to keep one portion of the

a life was lost the news of the victim's dentil
was always accompanied by a statement of
the side he had taketi ou the slavery issue.
If a general riot-took place, the killed and
wouuded Avere enumerated according to their
classification on this ouestion. The aboli
tionists organized their party into the form of
a State govern merit, with all its macum-iy
ply
views ou slavery.
This was
not all. The
contest extended itself from Kausas to the
uttermost end of the couutv It became a
great sectional controversy and every where
the burden of all that was said and suug upon
it was slavery. The Union itself was iu !
- .. . . ,t
danger in great and imminent danger aud
no one dreamed of ascribing that danger to
any cause except to the unsettled condition of
the fclavery question iu Kansas.
In these unhappy circumstances, the legal
and satisfactory eltleuiet of this exaspera
ting dispute was a consummation most de
voutly wished for. To extirpate this root of
bitterness was the first thing to be done to
wards pacification. Jiut how was it to be ef
fected 't Our political opponents thought
and I suDDOsa are still of the fame opinion
that the people of the United btatcs, tbrougn
their representatives in Cougress, might de- ,
cide it withouc consulting Kansas, whose pco- j
pie, according to their th;ir theory, should j
be treated with utter contempt. lut the Dem- ,
oeratic party determined to leave it with those j
who alone were directly concerned in it. '
This latter doctrine was triumphantly sus- :
tained in Congress, at the polls, and by the j
judiciary. After that the General Govern- j
ment could do no more than protect the peo- ,
. . . . -,
pie of Kansas in doing tho work aligned
them, llow they should do it, by what agents j
or organs, was not prescribed ; they were to ;
do it "in their own wa)-" by such represen- j
tatives as they might see proper to choose.
But uufortunately the Abolition party had j
become so rancorous that the olive tiranch
was offered them iu vaiu. They insulted aud
blasphemed the laws wwich left the matter to
their own decision. The regular authorities
ctuld do no more than give all a fair chance
of voting. The Legislature first passed a
law submitting the question of "Convention"
to a popular vote. The next Legislature af
terwards in accordance ivith the known wish
es of the people, and by virtue of their own
rightful authority enacted another law for the
election of delegates to a Convention. The
delegates were chosen at a fair and free elec
tion after a full notice to all voters. Wheth
er the vote was large or small, it is not possi
ble to deny the right of those who were cho
sen. To say that a portion of the electors by
absenting themselves from the polls, could in
validate an election which was otherwise legal
and regular, is simply absurd
The members of the convention thus chosen
,...f nt 1.1'nnmnlnr nd then wa raised the
new alarm that the delegates. er some of
them, intended to make a slave Consthut'um
them, intended to make a slave Consti'utum
in opposition to what they knew to be the will
of the people. While the President saw that

JULIET S TOMB IN VERONA.
"But 1 assure you, sir," said the cice
rone, " that there is nothing to see in
" More thau iu all Verona."
The cicerone f-hrugged his shoulders, and
we continued our way.
There no town in Italy more interesting
I in its appearance than Verona. A iui
! and veuerable melancholy broods oa
A -juiet and
over its
streets and bouses. Its architecture of all
forms ; its peculiar casements and balconies ;
the half Gothic, half classic stamp of its nn
tiquitv have, to my eyes, an inexpressible
charm. 1 think to recognize something Shk
spearian in the aspect of the place ; it accord
well Avith the nieiueu-ies with which. Shaks
r.eare lias associated its reverent name; and I
own, that I viewed its motley stroets with le.-s
! respect for Us history than for its immortal 1
1 end: for Avas it not here t.ixt Lie gay er

1 maAod troop, with their torch-bcarcrs and
! merry music; on the night that UomeO Liaelc

won the heart of the impassioned Juliet !
Tho Gothic lattice, the frequent baleony, the
garden seen through the iron gate that clo
sed yonder ancient court, do they Dot nil
breathe of llomeo of Shak.peare of ro
mance ? of that romance which is steeped in
the colors of so passionate, so iutoxicating a
love, that in order even to comprehend it,
we must lift ourselves out of our common and
worldly nature we "must rise from what oar
youth has been made by the arid cares and
calculating schemes of life we must shut
ouricl7(b up, as it were in a chamber of sweet
dreams, from which all realities must be rig
idly excluded we inunt call back to the
heart, to the sense, to the whole fnrine, ita

bv Italian art; morning and uight the dewi
j lull through the roouesb hovel, and the melan
choly stars gleam on the tomb, whence the
A'cry dust is grne ! It has not even 'he gran
deur of desolation no splendid sepulchre, no
cathedral-aisle, no high-arched-mof, piled,
impresses you with awe. A beap of fagots,
piled careless!)' at one end of the out-house,
proves the little A-eueratiou in which the place
is held The spot is desecrated ; the old
tomb, with its pillow of stone, is but a brokeu
cistern to the eyes of ih brethren of the con
vent ! The character of the place , is drear,
utisanctifying, slovenly discomfort ! Beauti
ful daughter of the Capulet ? none care for
thee thy love, or thy memories, save the
strangers from the Far Isle; wbecu north
ern minstrel hath taught to Avet-p fb'r thee!
It is this peculiar dreariness, this want of
barinocy between the spot and the associa
tions, which makes tho scene so impressive.
The eager, tender, ardent Juliet every
thought a pasion the ver)- Hebe of llo
inanee. never fated to be old ; and this damp,
unregarded hovel, strewed with vile lumber,
and f rolane lo all uses ! What a contrast!
what a moral of human affections ! Had
it beeu a green spot in some quiet vally, with
the holiness of nature to wat.h over it. the
tomb would have impressed ns w.th sweet,
not sorrowful, associations. We hoilld have
felt the soft steps of the appropriate Spirit of
the place, ami dreamed back the dreams of
poetry, as: ut Arqua, or iu the grotto of Ege
ria. But'the-re is no poetry here! all is
stem and real ; the b v'iost vision of Shak-
spesre turronnded by the hardest scenes of
Crabbe! And afar iu the citv rise the gor
geous tombs of the Scaligers, the family of
that Duke of Verona, who is but a pageant,
a thing of foil and glitter, in the machinery
of that enchanting tale ! Ten tin n.-and florins
of gold bad one of these haughty j r.nces con
sumed, in order to eclipse, in his oAvn, the
magnificence of the tombs ef his predecessors.
Fretted and archeti in all the elaborate tracery
of the fourteenth century, those feu lal tomb
make yet the pride and boast of Verona;
:ud to Juliet, worth, to the place, all tho
dukes that ever strutted their hour upon the
stage, this gray stone, aud this mouldering
Daru. II b a- W to avenge the- slight upom

The old woman that showed us the place
had something in her t the picturesque
aged, and wrinkled, jiiid bidviius with her
hard band iinpotiently stretched out for tho
petty coin which was t p.iy for admission to
