R. A. Chapman, of Mass,, appointed by Governor Gardner a Com* j inissioner on behalf of the “ Personal Liberty” act of the ; J-Uo Hiss Legislature, declines the honor of serving tiio btate in that capacity. James M. Banker, of Nantucket, does the same thing. In the able letter of Mr. Chapman to the Governor, he says :—“I am under the obligation of ;i . n oa th to support the constitution of the United States and tiie constitution of Massachusetts, and this act (nullifying itie fugitive slave law, and making obedience to it in Mas* sachusetts a criminal offence,) palpably and grossly violates ° 0, 1i.” Well said. Perjury is a bitter dose for an honest man to swallow, even though it be sugar coated with ne- i gro philanthropy. We hope that the Chapmans and Bun- j kerswill tnr\ke themselve* neard in Massachusetts, to some purpose, before they are don* with this personal liberty bill. Kansas Legislature. —The Kansas Legislature met on the 21at ult. Thomas Johnsos, of the Methodist Mission, was elected President of the Council,and Richard R.Pease, I resident pro tem; J. A. HoMerman, Secretary; Mr. Gro ver. Assistant hecretary ; Daniel S. Stringlellow, Speaker ol the House,; Mr. Lile was chosen Clerk, and Mr. Martin, Assistant Clerk. All the members were admited to their seats upon certificates from the Governor. It was supposed the Legislature would adjourn to the Methodist Mission on the 7th inst. / The Lexington (M 0.,) Convention. St. Louis, July 18, 1855. | During the evening session, on the second day of tho Convention at Lexington, Mo , great confusion prevailed on the subject of President Shannon's address. Finally,the thanks of the Conventionwere tendered him, and a eopy of the address requested lor publication, amidst tremendous excitement, during which the President threw down his mallet and threatend to leave his *t. On the third day, there was also a stormy session. Col. Young, of Booae county, charged .Maj. Rollins, of the fame county, with writting a letter advising the whig dele gates to withdraw. The charge was investigated, and pro nounced unfounded. A platform was then adopted to the. following effect:— That tho agitation of the slavery question in Congress, or in tho several States, must finally result in a dissolution of the Union ; that the resolution oi non-slaveholding State not to admit another slave State, ie a declaration ot boetility to the constitution-, that the diffusion of slavery tends to ameliorate the condition of the slave and maintain the equilibuum agaio6t the non siaveholding majority; that the Kansas!- act and Fugitive Slave law are cordially approved ; that the incorporation of monied associations tor the purpose of colonization in Kansas, is unprecedented m history, and is an attempt to thwart the purposes of the constitution and the enactments of Congress, that these councils will necessarily lead to resistance, and while they disclaim any intention to interfere with actual settlers, they will protect themselves and property. Eighteen bordor counties m Missouri contain 50,000 slaves, which will be valueless it Kansas becomes the abode of abolition fanatics; that they appeal to thegood sense of the North to put down fanatical aggressions and emigrant aid associations, and leave Kansas to a natural settlement. A committee of five was appointed to publish an address to the people or the United States, setting faith a history of the Kansas excitement. A copy of the same and the reso lutions ot thq convention were ordered to be forwarded to the executive of every State in the Union. Resolutions were also adopted calling on the Missouri legislature to pass acts within the constitation against tho Sroducts and merchandise of Massachusetts, and those iorthern States practically nullifying the Fugitive Slave Jaw; and that the welfare of elaveholding States and the in • terests ot the Union require the enactment of a law in said j States suppressing abolition [and free soil publications and opinions. The convention adjourned sine die. Democratic Meeting. There wilTbe a meeting of the Democratic party of Chatta hoochee county at the Court house on Saturday the IBth of Au i gust next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the | next Legislature.

The many apparently insane excesses of those who Indulge in the use of spirituous liquors, ma; be hus accounted for. The true cause of conduct, which is taken tor mtatuation, is very frequently a diseased state of the Liver, iv? °l tne system, when deranged, produces a more irightful catalogue of diseases. And if, instead of applying emedießto the manifestations of disease, as is to often the case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original cause,fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a eranged state of the Liver.
