Yours, H A battle is to be fonglit. If we are w^se it will I k * bloodless. If we IisteiiTO the pusillanimous counsels of men who have never shown one throb of sympathy tor liberty, we shall have blood to the horses’ bri dles. If we are firm and prompt to obvious duty— if we stand by the men of Kansas, and give them all the help that they need, the flame of w r will be quenched before.it. bursts forth, and both tflejr of the West, and we of the East, shall, after some angry muttering!-,rest down in peace. But if our ears are poisoned by the advice of men who never rebuke vi olence on the side of power, and never fail to inveigh against self-de fense ut wronged liberty, we shall in vi.te aggression and civil war. And let us know assuredly that civil war cannot burst forth in Kansas without spreading. Now, if bold wisdom prevails, the conflict will be settled alar off, in Kansas, and without blows or blood. But timidity and indifference will bring down blows there, which will not only echo in our houses, hitherward, but will, by pendence, is full of divisions and strifes. Slavery cannot split. It is thin, gaunt, compact, tenacious. In productive organizing force liberty is mighty ; in councils and concert she L- weak. In creative force sla very is imbecile, but in ambition and in council a unit and efficient. If the South were to attempt to cope with the North, on the field of Kansas, by simple emigration, by taking possession vt the land tor in dustry, they would be defeated be fore they began. This was apparent. The only hope lay in violence. V i olence was tried. At the hiss ot an unscrupulous man, hordes of wild and indolent fellows that hang about the towuis and cities of slave States, as gigantic vermin, rushed into Kan sas, crust.ed the free and aptnaVset- tlvrs at the polls, and by a whole sale fraud, not even denied or dis guised, reared up a legislature whose vflice it was to forge law tor the ben efit of slaverv and for the extinction of liberty. And well they perform ed their work. >g, ^ This O ve free- the W f BOOTS 1 BOOTS!! BOOTS!!

At the adoption of our constitu tion a system of slavery, thought to be then declining, and that would be ejected by the vis medicatrix of the spirit ot liberty among the peo ple iiud ill their institutions, receiv ed unexpected vigor and growth from commercial and political rea son's ; and from being a mere pec cant huiLor in the blood, it hits well nigh come to be the blood itself of this-great government! So that, with an outward form of freedom, with laws and institutions bearing the civil aspect of liberty, the veins j of this government are tilled \vit \} black blood, and the heuit and eve ry artery beat with the fatal current of slavery. In 1819 slay vyy demanded a por tion of tree territory. It was rvtus- ed. The fierce battle that followed was not fought out to the end as it should have he,.-n. The compromise ..pf 1820— like every compromise since, and like all compromises since the world began, between unscrupu lous Power and timid Liberty— was but a device o f Knavery for taking breath. TflV peace always promised for such poncession is a peace for repairing damages, for forging arms and for arraying new influences and implements. Liberty was bribed to yield a noble province to the devas tations of Slavery with the solemn guarantee that no slavery should ev er touch the soil north pf a given line; that^ by the moral pledge oi the whole South eXpret-sed through a legislative act, was made inviolate to freedom. It was a treacherous pact. It was hollow from the begin ning. While the territory concern ed iay far beyond the reach ot emi gration— while it was a hunter’s wilderness, it was not molested.— The moment that the growth of our country\ brought our population to the borders of this territory, and it was soon to be settled, Slavery,with out an appeal to the people— with out the suspicion of the coming up of such a question in Congress, by a coup detaty annulcd this agreement for liberty and declared Kansas and Nebraska alike open to settlors, and that their institutions should be de termined for freedom or slavery by the will ot their actual settlers. The teet o f freedom are nimble.— The feet pf slavery, shod with iron -•| for.crushing, move slowly. A thou sand free settlers will move with all utensils to-a region before a hundred men with the torpid toot o f slavery can move or start. SEYASTAPOOL T A K E N !

When the day came for freedom to take it, the South broke down its treacherous promises, opened the gates, and let fort 1 1 its\ children to enter the race against liberty ; yet, solemnly declaring that the one which took possession first, should hold and control it. Free settlers took it. Slavery Jagged behind and lost it. Seeing itself defeated in this ncta- rions scheme, the South, treacherous again, poured armed across her bor der to plant by violence a legislature there, and this coerced and fraudu lent legislature dared to legalize si a-? very, to defend it against even dis cussion bv binding a law around ev- erv free throat li-ke a halter.

Northern men, taught to thinjc-, t(> read, to discuss, to make the commerce of opinions free as the air that surrounded them,though in an immense majority, were re quired by a pitiful crew ot‘ wretches thrust over the border of the State for a mere purpose of violence, to accept these laws that outrage every institution of the land, and every f — historic antecedent of qnr country, or be cut down afid shot. It was thought perhaps that these sturdy settlers could he made to throw up the undigested milk of liberty as easily as they who disgrace New England in the chief places of gov ernment at Washington. Put the men of Kansas were men of stomach. It had gone into their every crumb of liberty. It had gone into their blood and bones. It had fashioned their heart and conscience. It had made men and Christians of them. When the ill-gathered rabble drew near to Lawrence, threatening to rfize Jt to the ground unless they would yield up every.sentiment of honor and fall down before Satan and worship him, the men of Law rence raised their defences, took their arms, determined to beat off violence jjy force. That courage saved them. The rifle brought peace. Had they been unarmed— had they bee?) pusillani mous— had they had stick Christians as infest the North, who justify arms fof tyrants, but inveigh against self- defence on the side of freedom, we should have ban a monstrous trage dy of violence and blood. The storm was held back but not dispersed. The same men are still in Kansas, face to- face. The same, ruthless.wautilt troip the South will be renewed. The same manly breasts will meet the war. Already we hear the muttering in the clouds of thosp tlmnder-y.oiccs which will yet roll over the prairies and reverberate along :thoe AlWhanies ! There is but little,time, but little may save us from civil w a r ! It is a spark if it kindles, it will sweep the prai ries in sheets of flame. The foot that should tread it out was bred among the New Hampshire hills.— But the shadow of the Government, blucLas midnight, falls upon. Free Suite men ; its lurid smile is with the aggressor. When God stood among the oppressed, Egypt was dark and Goshen was,light. In our day, \Rulers cast the blaze of full favor upon Egypt, and the scorn and blackness of their wrath upon the land of Gpshen. Who then are these armed men that already confront each other and between whom this whole land is called to decide? IIow have thejr come into this territory, and what are their errands? On the one side stand men of Liberty, Christanity, Industry, Arts, and of Universal Prosperity ; on the other arc the waste and refuse materials of a worn-out Slave State population— men whose ideas oi society and civ ilization are comprised in the terms, a rifle, a horse, a hound, a slave, to bacco and whiskey ; beyond these there is nothing but an annual up roarious camp-meeting, where they get just enough religion to enable them to find that the Bible justifies all the immeasurable vices and wrongs of Slavery. The Free State men come hither with books, with newspapers, with free schools, with lyceums, with churches, and . the whole retinue of beneficent institu tions o f Christian civilization. The Slave State, men come with out books, without enough educa tion to read if they had them, with out schools or a wish for them. They coupe with statutes framed for mak ing Tree thought a sin, free speech a penitentiary offence, a free press punishable with death if it in the leas'; loosens the bonds of oppres sion. The men of the North conic with rare industry ; with mechanic arts, with all improved implements of husbandry. They build towns ; they found cities ; they convert a wilder ness into a garden, and will trans it ■ mit to coming generations an inher itance such as Old England and such _ w * as New England never saw. The t'rren of the, South, reared where labor was n disgrace, are without'median js arts, without hab its of industry, without organizing tendencies,without the creative force which builds up new societies. They come to curse the land with a svs- 1 V tv 1 n of husbandry which the earth w detvstti, as well it- may, for the foot i f the slave burns tlie soil like fire. It is the agriculture of exhaustion. \ • It is the husbandry of impoverish ment. If the South inoculates the State with her leprosy, the plains of Kansas are fairer and richer to-dav w as a wilderness than they ever will be again. For slavery robs first the slave and then the soil. It sucks the blood from everything it touch- Anjcl nothing can fatten upon it, except the cunning tew that sit Upon the middle of the well—over- swolen spiders——while the rest swing in the edges thereof, mere skeleton insects. The men.of the North come upon the best, and the men of the.South upon the worst, errand that ever en gaged. men. Peace, and light, and love, and hope, and joy go with the one—war, and blood, and cruelty, wasting -and despair, go with the other. The representatives of civilization have come lawfully,-peacefully, to | only are left between this day and that on which battle shall once more unfold its wings— not again to I closed until the earth has drank blood to its filll But, if with proper liberality we fortify those heroic men that are there,the emissaries of evil will come up, look, be afraid and pa^s away.— False peace will bring certain war. Arms and courage will in evitably secure an unbroken peace. Once, when England only assert ed the right to tax the colonies without representation, the colonies rebelled and went to war. But now a foreign legislature has been impos ed upon Kansas. That Legislature has legalized Slavery against the known wishes ot nine-tenths of the actual settlers. It has decreed that no man shall enter the territory who will not take an oath of allegiance to this spurious legislation. It has muzzled the discussion. ess. It has forbidden pr It has made tree speech a penitentiary offence The rights for' which the old colonists fought were superficial compared with these.— These are rights which lie almost at the heart of personal liberty. In deed there can be no personal free- doip where tree speech, a free press, a free canvass ar#d discussion are penitentiary offences! These are the laws that the President is deter mined to enforce! Congress is to be asked money to sustain this gov ernment in Kansas ; and to pay for an army to cut the throats of every free citizen that will not yield to this info my I Already the Senate, controlled by the slaw interest, arrogantly offers to snatch from the House its iinme- morial right o f originating Appro priation Bills. The pretense is to save money. The* reason is to gain money for Kansas butchery. They fear that the House will not appro I riate for such a nefarious abomina tion as that which broods the plains. The Senate kno>ys that every dollar voted for the army arid for Kansas will, in the hands o f the administra tion be a bullet in the heart o f a free settler. The Bouse ought to know it to, and act accordingly. The whofo country ought to know it. New England has given to the laud a President who is determined that Kansas snail have Slavery or Blood. His second proclamation is like the apocalyptic vision. u And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with tire was cast into the sea ; and the third part of the sea became blood.” So will armed Slavery be cast irito Kansas. But will not these rivers of blood dash against the Algeha- nies and that fire flash along the line between the North and the South? IVace in Kansas will be peace eve rywhere. War there will be war . . . 4 all over the land. Now it can be stopped. But fear will not do it.— A truculent peace will not do it.— Indolence and presumptuous prayer will but hasten the mischief. When tyrants are in arms, they who* cry x j h c c become their confederates.— lanliness, action, courage and am- , pie preparations for defence will t-tip the danger. The Providence \vhich»will help us, is the Providence which we help. God works for those who work for Him. When he an swers prayer for harvests, lie in spires intin to work ; and petitions for crops and harvests are answered through plows and sjHides. And God will answer prayers tor peace plied. Compromises have bred cock atrices. We are spun over with webs. We are tangled with sophis tries. We have evrythingbut man liness, straightforwardness, courage anti decisive wisdom. Our capital is not in ruins, and yet the prophe cy against the old orientitd city has come true ;— foxes look out of the windows, owls hoot there, and sat yrs dance their orgies there. That internal dog of a hundred heads— Slavery—sits at the gates of our gov ernment, to bite every one who will not give a sop to Cerberus. All this we received at the hands of the very men who are again abroad with pious horror of self-detense, and treacherous counsels for a more treacherous peace. But what is done must be dune quickly. Funds must be freely giv en. Amis must be had even if bo’t at the price mentioned by our Sav ior : u lie that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one,” (Luke 22 : 36.) Young men who would do aught for liberty, should take no council of fegr. Now is the time when a man may dp for his country in an hour, more than in a whole life besides. Time flies. ----- Events hasten. Fear, and treacher ous peace, that betra^duty with ig norant words pf religion, will ruin all. But energy, courage, actio i will savp a)J. Woe to us! if war comes to us from our fault! If it comes, on the skirts of false peace will its blood be found ! ^ From t^e London Ileasoner. Yai*yius Aspects of Persecution.

The repro i by inspiring men with justice, with abhorrance of oppressipp, by ma king good men bold and active, and bpd men feeble and cowardly, by stopping the ears of community to the counsels of cowards and hypo- sentatives of barbarism have come unlawfully, violently', with no intent of residence, but only to put tlio sword to the throat of freemen, and the brand to their dwellings, and then to leave to the slow immigriV crites. tion o f slavery this stinted victory. There never was so strong an ap peal to public sympathy as that which is presented in the case of Kansas free settlers. Their emigra tion was a mission of mercy, full of the ripest fruits of Christianity.— Their conduct has been noble. They have borne hardships without falter ing ; they* have borne persecution and outrage with patience, return ing good for evil. They have suf fered wrongs manifold and infinite ly. provoking, without retaliation.— When aggression on one occasion was pushed so sorely that their pa tience failed, some of the men said u We cannot bear such wrongs.” — The reply made by Pomeroy will become a ma^im of Christian men : “ Be patient! your wrongs are your very strength!” When the armed day come and their adversaries came out to con sume them, then, and only then,they took up arms, and surrounded their homes with living men, determin ed not to attack, but never to stir- _ / T ... render. They stood on free soil. Theyr felt free hearts beating in their bosoms. But no flag of their country waved over their head ! An array o f the United States, made up mostly of aliens, carried the flag o f their coun try over to the side of their persecu tors. Yes deserted, betrayed, and wronged beyond the measure of any but heroic patience, t h e y nobly re deemed their lives, and, without one drop o f blood being spilt, .scattered their foes. Shall the prayers, the Let every man in this awful crisis not fail to 'pray. And that they may pray without hyporisy, let them watch and work. How shall we dare ask god to save us when we will not iise the means which he has put into our hands? Faith without w'ork and prayer without works, are dead, stone dead. Let emigrants go thither and let them pray as they go. Let them that have money now pour it out and pray as they give! Let them that have sons in Kansas send them arms, and pray that they may have no occasion to use them, but that if they must be used, that the v \ son may so wield them that the moth er be not ashamed of the son whom she bore j Let men that have influ ence speak out! Let ministers and Christian freemen now if ever speak against barbarism, and uphold the whole retinue ot Christian inst/tn* tions I Let those whose tongue .s been hitherto palsied by ey// advis- , now loosen their tougues and speak! Cardinal Wiseman has been n plying to Lord John Russell's lecture which included, instances in which progress had been retarded by per secution. The reply o f persecuting Catholicism to persecuting Protest antism is—“ You’re another.” Yet Protestantism has this merit—its persecution is inconsistent with i s principle, while it is justified by Ca tholicism. If Catholicism does repu diate persecution let it s*y sp. We have looked through fhe Daily News report of his Eminence’s lecture, but found no repudiation there. Mr William Freakly, of Longton, who has lately read, “ IIow to ob . * serve Morals aud planners,” by Har riet Martineau, trusts we will quote, for the benitit of readers who mav nut have had the pleasure and ad vantage of reading the works, the following impressive passage on the modern forms of persecution: “ Oue great subiect of observation r) v and speculation remains—the ob jects and forms of pcreccutson for opinion in each country. Persecu tion for opinion is always going on among people enlightened enough to entertain any opinions at all.— There must always be, in such a na tion, some who have gone further iu research than others, aud who in making such an advance, have over stepped the boundaries of popular sympathy. The existence ana suf ferings vf such are not to be denied because there are no tires at the stake, and no organized and author- ized inquisition, and because formal excommunication is gone out o f fash ion. Persecute n puts on other forms as ages elapse ; but it is not extinct. It can be inflicted out of the province ut ]a>y as well as through it ; by a neighborhood as well as from the Vatican. A wise and honest man who inay be wounded through his social affections, and in his domestic While the critics are wrangling abniit the merits of Hiawatha, the publishers and ftthoy make money by the notoriety they give to the new poem. The Boston Transcript says— We saw a superb new sleigh yes terday, followed by the eyes o f an admiring crowd on Washington st., and on looking tor the name o f this wonder, we read, in ornamental let* ters, Hiawatha. A fine scene from the poem was painted on tlig back, representing the hero taking leavu of his people. 41 Three cheers for Hiawatha,” rang out by a chorus of hoys, as the sleigh flew by. Boys, after all, are the best judges o f true fame. This winter they have named their sleds Hiawatha, and pieces se lected from the poem are spoken in all our public schools. A tew days ago one of the masters wishing to ascertain how far hiti scholars had gone into the poem, asked all to rise who had the whole poem, and fifty out of. the one hundred sprang to their feet. Ships are now building with the chosen name of the hero and hero ine, Hiawatha and Minnhaha, tp be carried over the seas. Edition after edition is rushed through the press, and, although two months have not elapsed since the first copy left the printing office, over twe]ve thousand have gone abroad through the land. The West, we understand, takes to Hiawatha very naturally. A M is ’ able N igoer .— My friend asked Anothy Box, a superb engine driver, river, how he capje to get free: “ Why, Massa Vincent, my health was very bad when I was in Ken tucky ; l couldn’t do no kind ob work ; f was berry feeble ; ’twas jes as ipuch as. I could do to hoe my own garden and eat the sas- and tlie missus that, owned me see that I was a mis’able niggar—one of the mis’ablest kind. So I said to her—“ Missus, I’m a mig’rable trig ger and I ain’t worth nuffip, and I think you’d better sell me, I ’m such a mis’ble nigger.’ Now, Massa Vin cent, I was such a poor nigger that Missus agreed to sel) me for a hum di ed dollars, and I agreed to try and work an,d earn a hundred dpi jars to pay her, and I did, and my health inis been getting better since, and I specks I pade about nine hundred dollars that time out of that nigger.

There are wise and good persons in every civilized country, who are undergo ing persecution in one form of anoth er every day.

That modest and unobtrusive piety which fills the heart with all human charities, and makes a man gentle to others and severe to himself, is an object of universal love and ven eration. But mankind hate the lust ot power when it is veiled under the garb of piety; they hate cant and hypocrisy; they hate advertisers and quacks in pietv ; they do not choose to be insi-1 ed ; they love to tear fofly and impudence from the altars which should only be a sane? ♦ tuary for the righteous and the good.

When my gran’ther Fowler,a way back in those Connecticut times when clergymen owned a few slaves, caught his nig ger Cuff bowing and fussing like a Greek priest, before an ugly wooden image that he had cut, he said— “ What’s this?
