The topic then took a turn as to w'erel.-

uses in connection with ashes. As a di

lime than they natur illy contain. But it
filakee All the difference to the world as
to the condition of the lime. Chemical
analysis shows the lime in ashes or the
tofines of animals or the shells of fish to 1
e lime equally with the original limed
rock; hilt the line of ashes and bones and '
shells is in an infinitely prog ressed and
superior condition. It had entered mil-1
lions of times into organic life, and mil- I
ions of times had returned to the soil ;
ro that that sort of lime is an infitely Let- ,
ter fertilizer, especially as a direct food
for vegetation, than the original lime- I
stone, crushed ever so finely, and seat -1
tered ever so lavishly over the anode And
still further, he said the higher and Mier'
the orgardeatiee from which the ha e is
extracted the better fertilizer. On this
principle, the ashes of one rosebush will
do more towards growing other roeebush.l

Buchanan's Administration
Fai tur4-!..
We believe nearly every body in this
section concedes that, so far as Kansas
is concerned, Mr. Buchanan has sadly dis
appointed those who voted for him. We
propose to shoW here After, that his Ad
ininistraticn is a 11 1 1(re as regards oft the
imPortztot interests of the Nation, as well
as in its Territorial influence.
-The letter of tiatnuel Painter in another
column, an old Democrat, and a pioneer
o f thii coanty, now a pitm..!..‘r in the North-
West, will show the influence of the Ad
ini,;istmtion on the lwave, men who are
strut, link for hones on the outskirts of
6viiiLat iun. What do you think of a
D 6moeracy that puts the interests of the
tMlim , settlers .under the heel of a Rail
'
Natl Company ten years, without a
shadow of Colnirns:iti.Al ?
Lion look at the tina MOYCMCII tS
of the Administration. Even " poor
Piece - left. twenty mill ions in the Treas
ury for Buchanan to commence business.
with ; but so unlit was lie for the position
to which he hail been ellalted, that in just
nine months from Lie time he took pos
s.i of the Government the Treasury
was empty, and Congress was asked p
authorize his Secretary to issue twenty
Millions of Treasury notes—alias promi
ses to pay, sometime:3 amiably styled shin
plasters. And - now, a little more than a
year sin.e he had chug° of. the National
duances, Nr. Buchanan is asking Can.
g'ress
.for a perulanettt loan of fifteen ni l!-
lions.
Is it not somewhat alarming, that at a
time when the:pel,ple feel the necessity of
practicing the most rigid economy. the
National Government is more recklessly
extravagant in the expenditures of money
than at any time since we had an exist.,
coca ? The receipts into the Treasury,
notwithstanding the financial crash, have
been steady and large enough to pay the
expenses of the Government, if the Ad
ministration was an honest one. But in
addition to these receipt; there was a
surplus of twenty millions which even
Pierce was Man enough to leave bAind
him, then twenty millions of Treasury
notes were issued, and [lbw a permanent
loan of fifteen millions is required. Was
there ever such a failure before siuoo the
Government was organized? - When will
all this end unless the people send.tu the
next Congress Representatives who will
put a veto on the reckless extravagance of
the President?
The Mormon war, and the passage, of
the English has doubtless taken
a large part of cheat: borrowed millions.
Th „entrance at , krovel nor Cumin_ into
Salt take Oily, unaccompanied by a single
suldier,shows that the vast sutus eilleud•
ed in sending the army to Fort Scott 4 was
thrown away, on partisans of ibe Admi2i
istration, and that, we have ua doubt was
1
the whole object of the war4rata the start.
In all these wasteful and scandaloiis
expenditures, Allison White, the me i l tuber 1
from this District, has participated , with.
the PreSidetit-that is, he has voted for
all the money bills asked for by thelPres
ident when he voted at all, so fat , as we
have seen the record. To scud him hack,
is to give tha President unlimited eon'.
in eceey tiang, so fur .as this Dist'et is
1 eoucerned. We have too much, with in
the independence of the people,
they.will thus act.
American Siam, eIY
Rellie9T,
We fear ;Try few peiiple appreciate the
hideousness. of Su fern Slavery. We
eannot understin how any one who re
alizeswhat it • to be a chattel can aptd
ogise fur tl system, or steer at those
who are tying to bring it to an end.
Lou • - at this pictuFe of Slavery as
draw by the Rev. Dr. Chcevcr, of New
V 241, on the 13th of May, and then ask
iourself what you are doing to sustain
the slave-holder - and his laws : • ,
"By our laws providing - that the slave
and its increase, shall be detta:ed and
doomed our personal chattels forever, we
constitute for them a tnillennium of sib
and misery. We convert them into a
community, in which it is impossible that
the fundamental laws of Christianity
should be recognized and obeyed, or the
most commonry acknowledged and most
sacred institutions of the Christian state
be regarded. The laws of God for hus
bands,' wives; fathers, mothers, sons,
daughters, children, cannot be applied,
cannot be obeyed, in such a community.
•llusband, love your wives,' is a divine.
injunction. But fur those mwt misera
ble outcasts of humanity, the American
slaves, there can be no such law, bat an
,adinonition iigailist it. •Golf's Claiws, S(1
expressed, intertitre with man's property
in man. Uusbands, b. wire of imagining
that you h•lve any rights, any authority,
in regard to the chattels you .are permit
: tad to live with ; beware of ever so loving
them as to be unwilling to saorifice them
at a moment's warning, to the avarice ;:he
need or the paisii.ns,of your owners. Ye
are not parmi.,ed to loco, but only in suh
jer:tion to the price of the market. the
necessities of yoiir ma-ter, and-;the grand
rule of vo , :r domestic institution, the
lave and is i:,(1-ease.
'.Wive,, oberE , >nt toyourhu , :bandi.
What ? Ob.ttlionee front a eliattel fo, a
chattel? Wives ye are none, and tips
divine law heloop not to you, but fur the
profit of your ina:,ters. Your obediebee
and you.- inercaae belong to then,. and ,to
none cl,e.
"Children. obey your parents. But
.laves have no c,iildren, and their chil-1
dren have no parents, except only as he I I
bad:s of cotton hay, plrent 'in the gin!
an&the factory, wile:- • Cloy were shaped
:tz4bonded for the Thezie cont.
Ina4ds aml precepts a. . all and only for,
the masters, not the slaves. Slaves have
no ties, nu affections, no, duties, no übli
.l4:tains, no I.,,lAgings, but for their own
ers, whose property they arc, and
whom and at their bidding every faculty,
capacity, emotion, most he d !Voted, oceu
pied, tasted, improved, aid at the
iiisli
est premium to the highest bidder when
, ever, however and wherever : . the owner's
interest requires it." ,
Four millions of human beings are
I thus held- in the United States, and the
number is increasing every year. What
'is the remedy ? Let every Man who sees
the sin set his face against'it and exert
1 all Lis influence for its overthrow. If
Iyou ask what has Slavery to do with the
i people here in Potter County, we answer
in another extract from Dr. Chcever:
'The indulgence, maintenance, protec
tion and defence of this sin, is the one.
great obstacle against the missionary in-1
fincrice and work. It cripples us, it man
acles our energies, it palsies our efforts. I
We are in the condition of a man whose;
whole left side is paralyzed, so that all
the strength and life of-the right side are!
occupied and tasked with keeping the pal
sied halt' of the body from falling. We
are like a man indulging in the use of'
ardent spirits to a degree just bordering
continually on intoxication, so that all the
soberness left,,is but just sufficient to keep
him out of the gutter. We are unfit for
God's work of overcoming the idolatry oft
the nations, while we are in slavish sub-1
jectiou to the worship of this 3 Itch at
home, And this is the upshot of , 11 purl
splendid training, all our vast gifts from
God, all our preparations by truth; provi
dence,' and grace, for the worlds deliver
zince front sin and Satan; Is it such an
meaty, or the instrumentality of such
people, that can be relted upon for the
world's conversion ? Eighteen hundred
years Christ crucified lies been known and
preached on earth, as a righteous ; Judge '
and Saviour for. the poor and needy, the
oppressed, and the children of the needy,
and yet, in these last days, and in the
nation now vaunted as the foremost Chris
' tian nation upon the face of the globe,
the iniquity of slavery itself has been
,re
rived and maintained as the missionary
agency and insz!tution of the GOspel l—
lAnd :,11 this' comes from hiding instead
of revealing that divine life which is the
,he result
of the policy -of ,
e in the pnlpit, si
lence of the ministry, the. (.14.1,-ing and
withholding of the ic'ord of God,"
_
. ait
belicwe.
Not only in the missionary Fork, but
in evera thiiiy, the support We give to
Slavery "clippies us, manacles our ener
gies, palsies our efforts." We ask every
opponent of Slavery to note what Dr.
Cheover says has 'resnite:d from "silence
in the pulpit, *silence of the Imimstry."
If the pulpit is silent, the fault is not
altogether witlr the minister. '
But we do not seek in this article to
give our own views of duty. We prefer
to give the opinion of a Doctor of Divini
ty, whose learning, talent and piety, no
man will call in question, and here is ,his
remedy Lr the terrible evils which,Slave
ry has brought upou us :
"Now, the Word of God is for aggres
sion and conquest, and not a,-compromise
with sin. The Wok of Goil is a park of
artillery—a swift-rushitig, mountain: of
thunderiugs and lightnings against ssin, to
overcome it and . to get it out of the world,'
and not ii- mere protest to save your own
credit. The Word ,of God is to be thun- I
dered forth by 'the, ministry fur the dis
comfitureof this "Teat villainy and impi- 1
ety iu the judgment scat, and to the leg
islature, and in the sin of man-stealing ; '
and this can be done ju reliance upon
God, and at his command, that the na
tina may be brought to repentance, may'
cry out, like any .Cher sinners, Men and
bretberen, what shall we. do? and may be
redeemed front this mighty iniquity. It
is maniCest that this requires an attention
to it On the port. of the Church and thei
iniaistry, and a space for it in the Sab
bath;and, a proclamation of God's truth'
in regard to it, such as never has been
given—never has been wade. This work'
is yet to be done, and the powc. , r and glo
ry of the Old Testament, the intense fires
of God's hive of justice, and his wrath
injusticeagainst a nd! , op p rc , s,; , l%, th f or k.!
cd and chain li o htn. , -ie the prophets,
, L. 0
and the thunderbolts of Hebrew history,
aro yet to be shot upon this nation's sins.
ti ho *tare do it bat :t ministry eonitnis-,
slotted of God, - and illuminated' and in
spired iv his Spirit ? Who cot du it but'
t h e y only ? h o -i e appropriate business:
is it to do this but theirS, and what is the
duty of the Churoh but to support and
protect them in doing this ? And
.when,,
and how can they do this, except on, the,
Sabbath—their day, G , ,d's .day for in- 1
-tract lug, reproving, and calling the
world to repentance?
“it, is not a mincing, deliezoo,
not.e. - of this iniquity that, G,:t re l inres,l
'Jr the brad, hardened, lirazeo. tint :ush
rug abomination: of the Government and'
the ropie demand, but a reiterai, d,re
verberating, loud thundering of God's
truth. It is very easy to Say a soft
ogizing, word bow and then in regard to
it, and excite no anger, n. disturb.tnce,
.In 4 do no good, rouse no man's: con
science; and nut a few, in what they do
say or intimate on such a F.Neet, :seem
to be begging, pardon of the congregation
for such a painful allusion, instead of ut
tering God's voice fearlessly, grandly, and
declaring, Thou-art the man
"In this matter, Christ's dividing line
is tru,,! : Ile that is not for ale is against
we. If men will not now :peak oat and
act out against slavery, their voice and
influence arc in favor of it. If the min
isters of the Gospel, instead 'of the policy
of silence, bad poured out their vials, as
God's Commisstened..angels,, and let the
thunderings, lightnings and earthquakes
shake the earth, this iniquity would long
since ha'e been arrested. It is only un
der the repression and (treed silence of
the Word of God that it has been able to
advance with such giant strides,' till it
has taken possession of the Senatorial,
Representative; Executive and Judicial
branches of our Government."

This is the season of Flowers=-those,
emblems of beauty, innocence and love,
bestown by sLod upon the human family,
as monitors of His charity for them. All /
the atmosphere is odored by' their sweetl i !
aroma:, and we say amen, with ready fer-I
ror, to Beecher's sentiment that "Flowers
are the sweetest things that God ever
made and forgot to put a soul into." So
we say, also of the following sentiment of '
one of Nature's own•poet-biographers
[From Jim itTortozes "Child - of the Islands"]
, Oh ! !lowers, oh ! gentle, never-faillng friends,
. Which from the world's begiuning,still have
smiled
To cheer Life's pilgrim as he. onward wends,
Seems not your soothing influence, meek
and mild,
Like comfort spoken by a little child,
Who in some desperate sorrow, though 'he
' knoWs
Nothing 'of all Lifels grieving, dark and wild,
An innocent compassion fondly shows,
And fain would wend us back froth fever to
repOse.
