measure* not only to bring tho orimin-

ur property nnd our lives. Tho par-
l ioulars of tho discovery of tho plot, of
the arrefct of tho negroes, their confos-
ions, their release and oscapo nro por-
haps well. known to the public. Tho
;l ogro boy Groan, belonging to Mr.
: (lodge, when asked whether he was in
earnest in his efforts to producoa revolt
among the negroes, persisted obstinate
ly to tho last to declare that suoh not
only uhis his intention previous to his
detection, but that ho still intended to
carry out his diabolical design. And
\ et this scoundrel was turned looso and
notwithstanding diligent search by tho
officers of tho law and tho citizons of
that part of tho county,has managed to
elude their vlgilanco and is porhaps
now safe boyond their reach. He has
*0110 to plot aribit, murder andmoro
horriblo crimes in another community-
and left our nogroes with tho convio,
don that whenever a favorable oppor
tunity -presents itself, they can with
little risk enter a combination for the
samo purposo.
Wo do hot intend to express an opin
ion whether or not the owners of the
hoy GroOn nnd others implicated with
him,aided lu thoir escape—for this will
undergo a judicial investigation. It is
enough to know that tho negroes have
thus far csonpod from justioo, nnd un
less moro activo means aro employed
will never bo again arrested. What
then shall bo dono? Wo proposo in
tho first pluco that tho citizens of tho
county offorarownrd for their arrest—
and in tho second that a subscription
oijuul to their valuo bo raised, to be paid
to their owners In case they aro convict
oil and hung.
Thcro is no law in this State remit nor
a ting tho owner of slaves when they nro
oxccntod for a capital ofi'enco—nnd tho
people of Floyd county, for their own
prptootion, should adopt such moasuros
JWtvill most surely bring these negroes
to justioo. Wlmt <lo tho pcoplo say?
If they think our plan is worth adopt
ing, either lota meeting bo eallod imme
diately, and a committee appointed to
carry, it out, or lot some of our leading
eitivem tnko tho matter into their own
hands nnd go forward with it without
delay. No time can bo lost—and wo
boliovo if thoso stops nro taken they
will bo successful—tho laws will bo vin
dicated—some unsuspecting communi
ty iviil bo saved from a villain who
would have corrupted their servants
and plottod their destruction, and our
own nogrood convinced that suoh offen
ders cannot osenpo with impunity.—
Whatever wo do, let it bo done quickly

•When I informed honorable Sena

suoh a course would bo utterly destruc

would havo a deopor, and perinanont,

tho stability of tho Consttt tuition, nnd

to sncrifico himsolf, nnd surrender all
prospects that may bo bold out to him
which stand in eouflut with lda»duty.—
Why should a man nbnndon his convic

of doubtful political chnnccs? I con
sider tho position of a Senator of tlio
United States, which I now enjoy, ns
tho proudest and most imlojxmdcnt

tho noblest and most desirable to any
man who will boldly do his duty. Sir,
1 nek now lodge my weakness. I know
that kind feelings and a dclcnco for the
opinions of others have 01 ten induced
uiy to glvo my support to measures of
inferior importance, which my judge
ment did not approve. But when n

mve deliberately reflected upon it,
when 1 have lights beforo mo by which

of political standing may bo required of

SPEEDY ADJUSTMENT.
Sir, months ago, wlion authority was
first given by tho President to Governor
Shannon, to call to his aid the military
force of the United States then at Fort
Loavenworth, wo woro told that there
would bo no further disturbances j but
wo have boon disappointed. The dis
orders havo rath or. Increased than di
minished since that Unto. It may be
that thoro will bo no moro unauthoriz
ed military arrays on oithor side ; but
will that cure tho evil ? Every settler
in Kansas now goes nrniod, and pre
pared for sudden conflict; and will any
future emigrant to that Territory
fail to equip himsolf fully with tho
means of self-defense ? does any one
suppose that there will bo no tnoro se
cret associations, no longor any system
of Intimidation kept up, no longor any
use for tho bowfe-knifo, rovoTvor, or
Sharp’s rifles ? Again, I ask, where is
all this to ond ? Can qulot over bo es
tablished unless one party or the other
is drivon out by force, or shall volunta
rily abandon the contest, or until Con-
gross sliall adopt somo measure to ond
tho controversy.
And, sir, what forbids that wo should
now adopt somo measure, with provisions
so fair ana just in all respects, that it can
not fail to mitigate, if it cannot remove
altogether, existing ovils, and in the
shortest period consistent with this spirit of
fairness and Justice, bring tho whole mat
ter in controversy to a close, by admit
ting Kansas Into tho Union as a State?
Do this, ond wo may leave tho issue in
tho hands of a higher power. # *

ami a whole generation must pass away
beforo they will censo to mar, to somo
extent, tho general harmony. Ou tho
question whether Kansas shall-.he a free
or a slave Stato, ns a representative of
Southern interests, my preference, of
course, is for a slave Stato. But, sir, if
in a fair competition it must be so, let
it ho a free .Stato; let it ho retroceded
to the Indians, the aboriginal occupants
of tho soil; let it become another Dead

HE ADVOCATES ITS EARLY ADMISSION.
“Whoever lias looked closely -into this
subject and comprehends all its boar-
ings, must bo satisfied, that, though wo
muy romovc some of the moro fruitful
sources of existing disturbances in Kan
sas, dissension and discord will still con
tinue, not only in Kansas, but through*
out the country, until Kansas shall bo-
coino a State. Tlio excitement and ag
itation at tho North may bo expected
to continue, oven with increased inten
sity, so long as thofo remains’any pros
pect of the success of'the pro : »lnvory
party, in order to uidlo and consolidate
public sentiment in opj»osition to the
admission of Kansas as a slave State.—
Can the country—can the Union stand
fivo years of unmitigated agitution ui>-
on this distracting subject ? It seems
inevitable that agitation must continue
through tho present canvass for tho
Presidency. There is no remedy for
that evil. Hud i tho power, by my
voico, 1 would paralyze—I would crush
this inany-heuued monster—this Ran*
sus hydra nt once; but, as that is impos
sible, I protest agulnst tho extension of
this controversy into tho next ensuing

against that, as equally Unnecessary
and perilous.”

Twenty Men Burned with Molten
Iron.—At Russell’s foundry, in Chicago,
on Thursday last, a number of men
wore engaged in casting, when ono of
them accidentally spilled his ladlo of
molten iron into tho hoots of nnother
Tho agony of tho burn caused tho sco-
ond man to drop his ladle, the scalding
contents of which fell upon tho man
who bail charge of tho crane. lie lot
that fall, and in an instant tho fluid
spread throughout tho shop, severoly
burning about twenty porsons. Some
of thorn woro horribly burned in tho
breast ami legs, but not fatally.
Incident.—Sevoral young ladies wore
looking at tho sleeping berths of his
Royal Highness, when ono damsel anx
iously asked tho attendant if ho could
tell which berth was for tho Princo’s
own use. Sho was answered that ho
“did not know.” Tho young Indy, in a
very sentimental tono of voice, said sho
“was sosorrg, sho would so likod to lmvo
placed hor hand on his pillow.** '‘Then,
marm,” said tho matter-of-fact attend
ant, “I think you had hotter put it on
to all of thorn, and you will be sure to
ho right.** This seemed to destroy tho
damsel’s romance, for sho left the cur
“looking daggers” at him who spoke.
Vigiluucc Committee Repulsed.
A difficulty occurred at Starko, Fla.,
on tho Florida Railroad, on tho 28th
ultimo, which resulted ih tho death of
ono person, and the dangerous wound
ing of two or throo othors. Dr. Hol
lingsworth, a citizen of Stnrko, having
expressed his disapprobation of tho con
duct' of certain porsons calling tliom-
solyes “Regulators,” was at tnokod whilst
in his own dwelling by a party of them.
Dr. Hollingsworth, assisted by liiff little
son, a boy only tliirtoen yeuro of ago,
repelled thoir assailants, killed thoir
loader, a man by the name of Dowling,
and severely,.if not mortally, wounding
sevoral others. A number of shots were
fired on both sides.
Too Great a Temptation.—An Irish
man, entering the fair at BalUiiagi
saw the well defined form of a largo
round head bulging out tlio canvass of
a tent. Tho temptation was irresistible
—up wont his sliillolidi; down wont
tho man. Forth rushed from tho lent
a host of angry follows to avengo tho
onslaught. Judge of their astonish
ment when thoy found tho assailant
be ono of thoir own faction. “(Job!
Nicholas,” said they, “and did
know it was Brady O’Brien yo '
“Truth did I not,” says ho; “bad luck
to mo for that same; but suro if my
own father bad been thoro, nnd his
head looking so nice and convanient,
could not lmvo holpod myself.”
Horrors of the Syrian Massacres.
I havo seen ono of tho women of Doir,
- , 7* , i wo i no
ceased, whop tho samo joyful tidings inciting on insurrection among tlio
woro carried with electric speed to eve- I slaves,
ry quarter of tho Union.
1 trust l may bo permitted, without
offenso, to say that, in a long tract of
time, no oxamplo can be found ot a de
lusion engendered in the bent of con
troversy, more coinploto than that
which appears to have taken possession
of those who pressed tho Nebraska bill
to its final passage through Congress.
Wlioro, now, do we find tlio realization
of those pleasing dreams which doubt
less inspired tlio authors of that mcas-
uro?
Mr. President, I do not wish to say
anything that can bo considered offen
sive, but I must8ny I do not know any
way in which I can so well illustrate tho
true character and tendency of tho or
ganic law of Kansas, as \»y comparing
it to tho preliminary arrangements
which usually attend the sports of tho
ring. Without any far-fetched analogy,
that law may bo said to lmvo inaugurat
ed a groat national prize fight. Tho
two groat sections of tho Union, tho
North and the South, were to furnish
tho champions and to bo their backers.
Tho prize of tho victory was to bo a
slavo Stato on tlio one side nnd a. freo
State on the other. But as the victory
was to ho decided by tho number of
champions, lo encourage their en
listment nnd prompt attendance, tho
prize of a choico quarter section
of laud, at tho minimum price was to
bo awnrdod to tho champions on either
sido.
When we consider that the champi
ons on both sides of this great national
contest were deeply imbued, for the
most part, with adverse principles, sen
timents and prejudices, on tho subject
of slavery, oxcitod nnd inflamed almost
to frenzy by recent and violont agita
tion ; nnd that the inhabitants of tho
western countios of Missouri would nat
urally become sensitive nnd excited in
highest degree by tlio prospect ol a froo
State on thoir borders, it is not extrav
agant to assort that, imd tho most in
ventive genius of tho age boon called
upon for a scheme of polioy combining
all tho elements of slavery agitation in
such a manner as to insure the greatest
amount of disorder, personal ana,neigh
borhood feuds, border disturbance, and
bloodshed, in Kansas, loading, at tho
same time to permanent sectional alien
ation, he could not have succeeded bet
tor than by ’ adopting the provisions of
,tho Kunsns-Nebraska bill.**

A Wonderful .Mirror,
Among the curiosities to bo met with
iu tho i’uris exhibition, was a huge con
cave mirror, the instrument of a sturl-
ling species of optical magic. Un stand
ing close to it, it presents nothing but u
magnificently monstrous dissection of
your physiognomy. On retiring a
couple of foot, it gives your own fnco
and truo proportion, but roversod, the
head downwards. But retire still fur
ther, stand nt tho distunco of fivo
six feet from tho mirror, and behold
you sec yourself, not a reflection—- it
does not striko you as a reflection—but
your veritable self standing in tho mid
dle part between you and tlio mirror.—
The effect is almost appalling from tho
idea is suggests of something supernat
ural; so startling in fact, that men of
the strongest nerve*' will shrink invol
untarily at tho first view. If you raise
cl-Kumar who has a deep gash in her y° ur uauo to thrust your other self,
thigh?' the wound was caused by tho said J’ 011 800 ^ P n88 clean through y
body, nnd appear on tho other side, tho

The artist who first succeeded in fash
ioning a mirror of this discretion,
brought it to one of tho Frenoh Kings—
if we recolloct aright it was Louis XV—
placed his majesty on tho right spot,
and bade him draw hissword and thrust
it at the figure ho saw. Tho King did
so, but Booing tho point of a sword di
rected to lus breast, throw down his
weapon and ran away. The practical
joke cost tho invontoor the King’s pat
ronage nnd favor; his majesty being af
terwards so ashamed of his cowardice,
that he-would novel* again look at the
mirror or its owner.
