But when the peo ple— the bonafide residents of such Territory —proceed to iratue a State constitution, then it is their right to decide the important ques tion themsefves whether they will continue mod ify, or abolish slavery. To them, and to them alone,does this question belong, tree from all foreign interference. In tuff opiniorrnf the territorial legislature ot Kansas, the lime hud arrived for entering the Union, and they accordingly pissed a law to elect delegates for the .purpose of framing a State constitution. This law was fair mid. last i:i it- provisions. It conferred the right ,1 - tVragc on'every bona fide inhabitant of the Territory aud, for the purpose of pre- vi ing fraud, und the intrusion of citizens ol Mm or distant States, most pro pet ly confined this right to those who had resided therein F ree months previous to the election. Here a fair opportunity was presented for all tin qualified resident citizens of flic Territory, to whatevtr organization they might have pre viously be longed, to participate in the elec tion, and to express their opinions at tbe bal lot-box on the qtfstioc. cf slavery. But num bers ef lawless men still continued to reais 1 the regular territorial government. They re fused eititer to be registered or ts vote; at.d the tnetnb rs of the convention were elected, legally and properly, without their interven tion.

Ev ery energy he possessor seemed to be exert ed ; anxiety and alarm appeared depicted, not in his countenance, hut in every motion ; extreme terror seemed to be the ruling pas sion of the moment, shown by his occasion ally throwing his head back, as if looking to see some terrible enemy approaching, who would anihilate him ; his efforts for progres sion were tremendous—the tie a ter go doubt less possessed overwhelming power. I stop ped. In about five minutes I noticed a Free mason, n species of blue wasp, in active pur suit; it would fly ten or twelve inches then alight, smell the ground, and so pass along, evidently trailing the spider, sometimes mi-w ing the trail, \lien returning or taking the back track, until it arrived at where the spi der diverged from tho rectangular line.— Never hound trailed fox or cat or watched rat with the pertinency this insect followed its prey—ail was activity, decision and prompt itude—no part of the little insert rested quiet; every member was‘in a state of motion, head, wings, Ac. The greatest detention was at the edge of the road, where the pider had fallen into a deep rut, and continued in it for about twelve feet. Here the Free mason appeared at fault; repeatedly it flsw over the rut, and tor a short dutance''continued in a straight line. but soon returued j for five times was this repeated, reflecting right and left from tbo bee line, but Without success; the last time it returned it rested onepuomem, apparently in reflection; then suddenly darted to the bottom of the rut, und advanced rapidly on the trail. It passed the place where the rut was left by the spider, only a short distance, returned ; seemed again in fault for an in stant, then swiftly passed down the side of the rut opposite to that by which the spider had left; immediately flew to the other side, soon fell ill with the trail, and energetically followed il, although the pursued oflanniov-^ ed in a rig zag line. Within fifty yards of the road the victim was overtaken; the spider seemed paralyzed; made not tho least resistance, but quietly turned on its back, and never moved a limb. Its pursuer pounced On it with all lire rapac ity and venom that over a cat seized its prey, or the anxious, worn out inebriate clutches the intoxicating bowl. 1 stood by unmoved, not feeling inclined to interfere; unexcited by that principle said re be inherent tn the bosom of man which urge;, him to extend his controlling influence where the weak and innocent are in the pow er of the strong and treacherous, but felt ra ther gratified tint this huge po.sonous in sect had met a just and righteous doom.— Thus, as Sir Walter eloquently says, ‘was abstracted one atom of life from the sum to tal’ of spider existence. This same day I had scarcely passed a mile on my road, inter the above tragical af fair in/) ended, when 1 met with one of the most painful among many painful scenes i have, in a diversified life, had to encounter. My attention was attracted overhead by the cry of era-cra-cra ; on looking from whence the cry of distress came, 1 perceived a medi um sized hawk, with a largo chicken in its talons, apparently as weighty as it could carry. The hawk appeared overloaded 3nd exhausted ; with much effort it succeeded iu alighting in the crotch of a large ehos- nut tree about eighty yards from the road I was traveling. From the exhaustion of its captor the chicken seemed the stronger of tlie two, and I have no doubt that if it had been armed with d- tensive weapons as ef fective as its antagonist, that it would liavu escaped. But this not being tho case, the hawk, with a pertinacity unconquerable, kept his talons bu.ied in the breast of the fowl. For ten or fifteen minutes tbe exer tions of the chicken were immense—after* this its power appeared spent, and it seemed apparently resigned to its fate. Now com menced tbe mosthorrible part of tbe tragedy, As the hawk tore the flesh the whole body of its victim quivered and the cry of anguish re died my ears —poa-poa-pea. 1 became greatly excited, alighted from my horse, went to the foot of the tree, and by shouting attempted to arrest tire horriblo banquet — this was all in vain. 1 then tried by throw ing stones to drive him from his hlnndv feast; hut they were unheeded ; they did not reach the monster, for he was too elevated. Unmindful of all 1 could do. he continued Ins cruel dissection ; all this time the plain tive pca-pea-pea resounding in my ears.— Oh! how I wished for a gun, but none was obtainable. The case was hopeless! In .taspnir of rerdcrine aid, alter many minutes of extreme ev rtren 1 quit the tree, horrified. I mounted my horse ami gave him the spur, hut still resounded in my ears the melancholy cry pea-pea-pea. Strong at first, hut grad ually weaker ami w -iker, as linili was torn i oin limb, unlil finally it ceased to orv onlv with the l ist throe of vitality. I have never in a long life felt so miserable, depressed and unhnppy from 30 inconsiderable and common an occurrence, nnd even to this time when remembrance brings back the days of nuhl lung tyne, the hopeless pea-pea- pea of this poor chicken reverberates through rny brain, and makes me ieol depressed and wretched. I gav" my horse tho whip, rode hastily home, got my double barreled manton and returned, \\ hen 1 arrived 1 found the bloody feast over, and the slayer of the innocent victim sitting on the limb of an adjoining tree, apparently gorged and asleep. I rode near, and at the first fire brought him to the ground with tlie remains of his prey undi gested in his stomach. How 1 triumphed it would be unchristian to say, in the slaugh* tea of tliis ferocious bird of prey, whose life is sustained by tlie destruction of other more useful and innocent animals. As I bore my prize-home, rejoicing in hav ing slain the slayer of the harmless and tiefp^" less, the thought suddenly occurred to me, upon what right had 1 thus acted I belonged to the most ferocious of all animals—(when liis passions are not properly curbed) man— who not only for Ins own necessities, hut often in wanton sport, des rots myriads of useful and innocent being i. This reflection worried, depressed and made mo feel as if I had acted amiss. However, l soon became reassured when it occurred to me that the Giver of ,,11 good had allowed man the use but not the abuso of all created beings, and that most estimable of all tirtues, charity, urges the protection of the weak and help* |e.-j by the strong and powerful. It seemed as if this day was not to pass without fuitlier adventure. Several hours alter I returned home, Ian- in lire day, I went to that part of the firm where my people wore at work. I seated myself on a knoll overlooking a small marsh, and incontinent, ly fell into a snooze—when I was suddenly startled half awake by tlie painful pea, pea, pea. At first 1 thought It was a dream— then again it suddenly occured to me that il w as the ghost ef the defunct chicken haunt ing tne for tho inefficient efforts 1 had made to save it. Howeve**, when wide awake, by Intoning attentively, 1 could, at long in tervals, just petetive th* homd cry of pe»' pea, pea, in a sepulchral and very wssk voice. I immediately arose, called one of my m*u and directed him to examine from whence the sound came. IVe soon got iu the vicinity of the cry, evory moment besom ing weaker and weaker, and-the interval/* longer and longer, occasionally seeming as if the suffering animsl was strangling, al though tlie sound could still be heard. On account of this part of the marsh—which was comparatively firm—being thickly cov ered with grass, nothing could be perceived. A scythe was ohtained and the grass mown off; after which, by strict examination, the litll, fliie eye and ;V pan of* ihe'head of* nearly full grown whicken, was perceived, the whole body buried, and very alowly the small part above ground disappearing. I immediately seized the head, after removing the eartli around the neck, but found I should pull it off without disinterring the fowl. It seemed to be held as if in a vico by some thing. A mattock was sent for and the sur rounding earth removed, when lo ! and be hold, the cause of the catastrophe was soon discovered in an enormous snapping turtle, who had a firm grip un tin* middle too of the fowl, aud had gradually worked himself deeper and deeper iu the swamp until he had nearly entombed the luckless chicken. lie seemed belligerent and ferocious at being disturbed in his little work of charity, and kept a determined and unflinching hold.— He was decapitated, but yet all in vain to make bini loose his hold; the jaw had to be luxated before his victim could bo relieved. Doubtless lie was thus maddened from dis appointment, having intended to luxuriate with all the gusto ot'un epicure on delicate chicken meat; but, as it is an old proverb, \et a true one, that ‘there is manyaslip be tween the ctip and the lip,’ so in this case, instead of being the eater, he was the eaten, for the next day I had for dinner a luscious howl of turtle soup concocted from his car- cass.
