Value ot the L.ecompton Conatltutioai
to Slavery.
We wish not to be understood from
anything we have written,or may write,
■bout the Lecompton Constitution, that
we should regard its recognition by Con
gress as any victory to the South, or as
jkely in any manner to prop the totter
ing fortunes of Slavery, We insist that
fiie refusal of Congress to acknowledge
that instrument as the act and deed of
Kansas sovereignty would bo more
flagrant than any of the acts of outra
geous tyranny yet perpetrated against
the insulted, but lethargic South. Vet
we cannot see in what way such an ac
knowledgement would at all contribute
to render permanent the institution of
ilavery. As a question of principle—
m pure abstraction, —we demand the
Immediate and unconditional recogni.
•on, by Congress, of Kansas as a State
the Union. But we should be per
fectly willing to see the principle dis
carded, to know that the now in
•hoate insult to the South had been
completed and hurled at her, upon the
direct issue, by Congress,—perfectly
willing we should he, if we could only
know the people of the South would
then be stung to the quick, that their
mow stagnant blood would then begin
*o course their veins with some of the
•Id Revolutionry fire. It would in
fiuth be no greater insult to the South
if the Lecompton Constitution were re
jected, avowedly because it is pro-slave
tj, than that it is that there should he
a set of men found in this land who
dare to talk of a rejection upon such a
pretext. The iusult and contumely al
ready heaped upon the slaveholding
fitates are incable of increase ; but if
•nr Black Douglican friendsof the North
■an contrive to put them in a form, or
■pply them in a way,by which they will
burn [deeper into Southern flesh, we
will thank them to do so, if we can be
assured that thereby Southern eyes will
be opened to see in all their dismal
darkness, the dangers that imperil
louthern liberty and independence.
While we never will cease, but with
life, to denounce every Northern man'
to an enemy, who, because it is pro
slavery, shall aid in or consent to the
defeat of the Lecompton Constitution, —
■till we don’t care a fig for its adoption.
That is a contest, in which victory can
be hut an empty victory. And right now,
if we had the power, we would keep
Kansas out of the Union under any sort
of a Constitution ; for this plain reason.
The majority of her people are free-soil
•rs and we do not feel willing to let
them put two more free-soilers in the
Senate, nor to allow the Black Bepubli
«an force in the House to be increased.
With her present population we would
keep Kansas out of the Union forever
if we could.
he area of slave territory cannot he
teased by the admission of Kansas to
i Union, under any Constitution.
Slavery will have no more friends, un
der one Constitution in Kansas than
under another. But the friends that
Slavery already has in other States
might become warmer, more vigilant
and determined if the Lecompton Con
stitution were to be defeated.
It is altogether true that in the con
test for principles, the people of the
South have forgotten to inquire wheth
er any practical question was involved.
In that contest the North has never yet
yieldeda principle until she has become
satisfied that it would be worth nothing
to the South in practice.
We have seen and heard the doctrine
of Non-Intervention by Congress lauded
to the skies ns invaluable to the South.
But wc have yet to learn that it has
given to Slavery an inch of land, or a
moment of peace, or an lota of safety.
Os what advantage to us is Non-Inter-j
vention by Congress to Slavery, when j
the people of the North liavo the will
and the numbers to intervene, to drive
ilaves out of every new territory and to
fill them up with free labor? We are
fighting for the extension of slave ter
ritory', because we regard that extension i
as essential to the performance and safe- j
tj of the institution. This is the only 1
principle that we know of worth light-!
ing for. Therefore we say that we
would as soon see Congress enact a Wil
vuot Proviso or anything of the kind, as
to see the North have the ability to j
seize upon the land of the nation and i
make freesoil by hordes of white labor
ers. Where is the difference to us that
Congress should forever inhibit slavery
in our unsettled territories, or that the
people of the North should flock thith
er in such numbers as always to make
■on-slave holding States *
Our politicians, our papers and our
people are wofully mistaken when they
say or fancy that the freesoil sentiment
•f the North is fanaticism. Abolitionism
was fanaticism in its early days ; but
freesoilism is cool, calculating, well
grounded jiolicy. To the laboring mas
toe of the great North and West who
wish dear labor and cheap lands, free
soilism is hard common sense ; just us
good sense, as friendship for slavery is
good sense in the slave owners of the
South who need cheap labor to render
valuable their lands, and a plenty of
land to render valuable negro labor. —
Let southern men understand that the
question at issue between themselves
and the North is not a light hatched
from the brain of crazy Northern Minis
ters and nursed by the sentimentality of
sick women. It is a battle offered by
Northern hordes who mean to overrun
the fields of the South as their proto
types rushed down upon the fields of
Southern Europe.
Bah ! we spit upon Non-Intervention
by Congress, unless they will undo and
repeal the first great act of tyranny by
which they circumscribed the vitality
and extent of Slavery, when they for
bade the importation of slaves from Af
rica, and laid the hand of iron despo
tism, for the first time upon South.ru
Commerce. Who would give a pinch
of the meanest snuff for Non-Interven
tion, if Non-Intervention will not make
Slave States ? Not we, for one! What
a farce to talk about a repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, as an act of jus
tice to the South, when there is no re
peal of that law which, more effectual
ly than any other law could have done,
circumscribes the area of slavery. Such
justice is the justice of the highwayman
who returns the purse after rifling it of
its contents.
What can more effectually place
bounds to the institution of slavery than
the want of negroes ? Does anybody
expect to see Slave States when white
men stand ready to rush in and take
the land~which they wish to cultivate
with their own hands? We shoald
think not! Right hero let us figure a
little: The white population of the
North in 1850 was over 13,309,889.
The per cent of increase from 1840 to
1850 was 38 per cent., or 3 8-10 per
cent, per year. At this rate the free
States can retain their present popula
tion and yet send into new territories
annually 505,773 souls—enough to ad
mit at least five new States every year.
Upon the same kind of calculation the
Slave States can only send off about
200,000 per year. Does anybody won
der that the South is out-voted in the
territories whenever the free-soilers
choose to voto ? Could it be otherwise ?
Is the North not able to make Free
States ? Will she fail to do so ?
, We say, then, what is the Lecompton 1
, Constitution to us, with a frec-soil popu
lation under it ? They have got the '
3 land and let them take the Constitu
tion, say we. As Sewaiid says, the bat
tle is fought and the victory lost to us
j in Kansas. Such will he the history of
the rest of our common territory, unless
the men of the South rise up and go to
j work. What do Douglass and his min
ions care about Congressional interven
tion, when they can raise ten free-soilers
I to every one slaveholder in the territo
rics ? Popular intervention is a more
fatal weapon with which to drive the
South from her inheritance.
1 If the institution of Slavery is worth i
. more than the Union, and if its exten
tion is the sine qua non of the continued ,
existence, then its extension is worth
j more than the Union. We intend in
due time to point out how it can be ex
tended —an object which we will labor
j to accomplish, even at the price, if need
t be, of the Union. *

The Burning of the Pacific Hotel.?
We find the following despatch, da
ted the 2Ctl), at St. Louis, in the New
York Herald of Sunday. The hotel was
burned at three o’clock on Saturday
morning:
The burning of the Pacific Hotel
proved a much more terrible calamity
than was reported this morning. About
one hundred persons were in the house
when the fire broke out, forty or fifty of
whom are missing.
The following arc the names of the
persons known to be killed, so far ;
Messrs. Bruce, McKnite, Burkheart,
Wurst, Paul, Sterrett, Mrs. Jenny Jones,
and child—all of St. Louis. Mr. John
son, of Chicago. Henry Bochester and
J. H. Hart Strong, of Rochester, N Y.
.Mr. William Saunders, Mr. Taylor, Geo.
Crane, and Miss Jones—residence un
known. Charles Davis, Wm. Cunning
ham, of the Terre Haute and Alton
Railroad. Mr. and Mrs.llubbard. Also
tune persons in one room, whose names
are unknown, and a negro hoy.
The following are seriously injured :
James F. Geary, reporter of the St.
Louis Leader. Elhew Hayes, of N. Y.;
Jonathan Jones, Mr. Town Wm. Tur
ner, and Mr. Sharpe, watchman of the
house.
The fire caught in the drug store un
der the hotel, and spread so rapidly
that the stairways were enveloped in
flames before the inmates could be
roused. All egress was thus cut off ex
cept through the windows. Many
’ leaped from the third story and were
horribly mangled or instantly killed,
and many more were unable even to
; reach the' windows, and were burned to
death in their own rooms. Several
more bodies are supposed to be in the
ruins, and hundreds of excited men are
energetically engaged in removing the
rubbish and searching for them.
The wounded were promptly taken
charge of by their friends or sent to the
hospital, where their injuries were im
mediately attended to. Several of the
wounded cannot possibly recover. The
loss of property is upwards of $50,000.
Poverty.
Start, not at the labor doom of hon
est poverty; it is to poverty that we
: are indebted for the discovery of a new
world ; it made Franklin a philosopher,
Hogarth, a painter, and Napoleon a
1 conqueror of Europe. The mightiest
[ minds that ever astonished the civilized
world, were reared in the vale of pov
: erty; that was their incentive to act,
their stimulus to glory and immortal
ity. Pine not, then, at your lot, if you
; be poor and virtuous; a large fortune to
a giddy youth is the most painful judg
ment an indulgent heaven can inflict
upon man. The inordinate love of
wealth, so fatally prevalent in modern
times, when, with a great majority,
riches are a test of respectability, and
cash a token of worth and virtue, a!
t cloak to screen from crime—is worse
than blear-eyed famine, more fatal than
' the fostering folds of the purple pesti
: lence. Mourn not, then that you are
poor—push your faculties into a holier
sphere, and reap abundant stores of
mental gain in the extended field of an
enlightened mind.— Fisk.

A Flower la the Desert.
Here is a beautiful incident related
by an officer at Matamoros, in a letter
to a friend in Providence, which re
minds us that—
-111 the desert there still is a fountain,
In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And u bird in the solitude staging 1
Our army was marching into Mata
moros, anil the officer writes :
“There was a little incident occurred
which contrasted so forcibly with what
was going on around me, that I could
not but be struck by it.
“Under a tree just on the river bank,
' and at the point where the bustle and
throng of the passage was the greatest,
a family of Mexicans had taken shel
ter, who had recrossed to our side the
. day before, and had not had time to
i move to their homes. There were some
’ six or eight children of various ages;
p one of these a beautiful, black eyed,
graceful little creature of five or six
years. I saw her, while the tumult and
! toil of all description rang around,
while arms were Hashing, cannon roll
ing, men hurrying to and fro, horses
] dashing at wild speed, the air filled
I with shouts and oaths, and all was as
if quiet and peace were banished from
the earth, half sitting, half lying upon
a grassy knoll, her head resting upon a
white pet dove, and one little arm
thrown around the bird as if to protect
it from all harm.”
What a lesson is taught here 1 What
a picture for the painter and the poet!
See innocence personified in that sweet
child 1 See peace represented in that
beautiful dove! How they stand out
the bright, the glorious figures in that
scene, where war, with its array of ban
ners and marshaled men, and gaudily
dressed officers on caparisoned horses,
fresh from the battle field, their hearts
filled with the swelling thoughts of the
victory they have won, and all glowing
with the ambitious desire that becomes !
the heroes they have shown themselves .
to be- how that sweet child and beau
tiful dove shine with the light, that is
from Heaven, in that scene, where war
fills up and darkens all the back
ground!

HPThe Great Probio in
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved byasinglo
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyZetland unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution creatod in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried if are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.
Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmaeopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent reli ffrom
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
crence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

Dye is Vile Wash,
but the article that will naturally restore the
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
being an indication of a lack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only
safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature
change of color, and the several evidences of a
lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which
can be found. Quack i reparations abound, and
■hair tomes’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ln the
country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
to be the preparation of some man whose cele
brity has become world-wide. Do not let any i
nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
Touch nothing you have not good reason to be J
ileve is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood j
lias earned by years of severe test of the virtues;
of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150
certificates are before us of the value of this
hair restorative, from all parties who have tried
it. Use no other.
Caution. —Beware of worthless imitations as
several are already in the market called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St. Louis, Mo.,
and New York, are blown i.j the bottle.
