Another oonsid«ration of vital importance
with the boys, was, how they should obtain
a little spending money for thoM daye of

in many localitun wu pour; and money
hard to be obtained. 1 have known hard
working lads to go weeks, yea months, with |

The price of labor in the inland towns, was
low ; from 33, to ct*. per day, and from
7 to 10 dollars per month, wua the price
paid to smart, active young men for their
service. fifty years ago. Tht>, you will per
cure, was a small compensation, compared
with what they now receive. I have within
a few yean, paid boya not men than 14 or
15 jean old, from $1, to $1,25, for their

Notwithstanding the small remuneration for

How a Newspaper is got up.
We have wondered what proportion ol
the reading world ever takes into
tion the ex|>endituru of toil, of brains and ol
money necessary to produce a newspaper.—
Aud then again, to narrow ths question,
how many of those who do consider the mat
ter, care anything ut all about it ? We be
lieve tliat there are some who do care, even
though they uiay not bo particularly sensi
tive ou the score of cost, so long as they
have but a very small portion ol it to bear*;
and not atall unxious concerning the trouble,
so lung as it involve* no greutcr |»*rnlexity
to tiiviu thuu elevating their heels and open

not the galled jade. We rental that wo bo
lieve that there are many wtio do not care,
but only us a mutter of curiosity ; they liave
a natural desire to understand the mwm/mj

EASTERN JOURNAL.
KUDAY MORNING, MAY 15. 1857
The Coming Election in Kuiu
The proposition of the Free State men of
Kanau, to participate in the election of del
egate to form a constitution, made to act
ing Governor Stanton, was this *
Two person*—one from each patty ss
lected from eaeb district, to correct the ref
istry list, to proceed together and register
legal voters ; the Prohuto Judge to correct
the first lists, and an apportionment of del
egates to be mads aororiling to then return*.
Four Judges of Election, tsro from each par*
tj, to be elected in each precinct." The
names of three of said Judges are required
on certificates.
Stanton's letter declining the proposition,
is dated April SO, 1857. We copy such ex
tracts as seems to meet the proposition, lie
nys:
If I believed—oa I do not believe—jour
isaertion that the laws of Kanaus "were en
u-Uxl by a Legislature elected by the people
jf an udioining State," atill it would be
impoasihle for iu« to set them asido— the at
tempt to do ao would be an act of gnas usur
pation, not lea objectionable in its charac
ter and effects, tlian the fraudulent inter
ference which you attribute to the people of
Missouri. I must, therefore, mv to you in
the most explicit language that I can do
nothing which denies the authority and va
lidity of tne laws enacted within this terri
tory. Congress alone has power to abrogate
them
I have no authority over the Probate judges
It is not my province to advise them in re
lation to the performance of their judicial
functions. Yet it will nut bo improper for
me to Mty, that it would be very judicious
and becoming in them to obtain every possi
ble information from respectable men of
both partita, in order to enable them to
correct the list of voters. If such impartial
men of their own will and within the tune
limited by law could take a new census and
present it b> the Prohate Judges with suffi
cient proof of its lairnms and accuracy, I
think the Probate Judges would bo bound
to ad >pt it, and return it to the governor as
the true list legully corrected.
In reference to your proposition to appoint
four Judges of Klection at every place of
voting, I have to say that the law very wi«
ly authorizes only three. The Governor has
nothing to do with their appointment. It
is not in my power, therefore, to adopt your
suggestions in this particular.
So lung us the Federal (Jovernment is de
termined to recognixe the validity of the Bo
gus laws, there cun be no hope (or any ac
commodation in the matter. The proposition
of the freo State men shows they were will*
ing to vote provided there was any chance
fur fairness, and the justice or their proj»o
sition in too manifest to require remark.
Under th« Census Swindle of the Border
Ruffians, with u decided majority of the Free
Stutc resident* purposely left off tho regis
try, while thousands upon thousands ofMis
souriam were luted upon it, there would bo
an fair a chunco for Freedom in Kansas us
thero would bo for carrying Franco for lie
publicanism at un election ordered by Louis
Napoleon and presided over by his minions
The Herald of Freedom, which is printed
on tho spot by an intelligent man who sus
tained Geary's administration, and ought to
know the situation of things in the territory,
gives the following reasons why the Freo
State men should take no part in tho up
proachi ig election:
" To show ho# much voico tho people nro
to have in the convention, wo will ►tuto tho
fact that in "Johnson county," embracing
the Sluwneo reservation, and which is not
open to settlement by tho whites, and in
which 50 bona-tide settlers do not reside,
some THREE THOUSAND names are reg
istered. These names are the member* ol a
secret lodge in Missouri, who liuvo prtlenthd
to take claim* on the Shuwnee reservation,
continuing their actual residence all the time
inJ.Miwouri, and are carrying on business
there, ns if they had never been in Kansas,
as nine-tenths of them never hsvo; save
when hero on their plundering or voting ex*
pedition. The*) non-residents form the basis
of representation in the Constitutional Con
vention, and are entitlud to one delegate in
that body lor overy sixty registered votejs.
The 30(H) names will entitle them to City
representatives. With tho view of silencing
the Lawrvnoo district, it is said wo were de
tached from Douglas County on tho cvo of
the closing of the bogus legislature, and >iU
tached to Johnson county, of which the Re
serve is composed, with Uie design of neu
tralising our votes by non-residents from
Missouri,
To dhow that these fifty representatives
from theShawncj Reserve district are to con
trol the conntitutional convention, we raiy
state anotlior fact. In Shawnee, Brt»ckin
ridge, un>l it-tTeral othor counties, where a
hmvy free State vote would have Iron polled,
if the people chnee to vote, the offiwnt ap
pointed to take the een«us have resigned or
de« lined the appointment. In tins way tho
voter* o( t !n • districts will not be returned
in tho census, will not be represented in the
convention, and though they are tho moat
populous portion of the territory in fact,
they will be treated as though they had no
existence. What is true of these wu have
no doubt will be truoof all tho inland dis.
tricts where there U nothing else than Free
State voters."
It would be but rushing to certain de
struction should tho free State nn n partici
pate in the coming election. Thoy would
t« overborne by this fraudulent registering
an* by bullii* from Missouri It is fair to
conclude, that with thoirknowledge of the
facta in the case, and their opportunity to
•urrry the whole ground, that they bavo
decided wisely.
In connection with this matter wo aro
glad to we puhlUhed an addrosi to the
American prepared l>v n Cominitt**
appoint**! ny the Five Statu Convention held
atT'itrka on tho lOthof llatvh la*t giving a
hrief niatory or the events which hare trans
pired in Kansas since the pawago of the Kan*
sua-Nebraska act and defending the course
of the Free State party and defining their
position. In their introductory remarks
the committee nay:
•'The free State men have violated no law,
ft>r that whioh is not just is not law. and
that which is devoid of justice should not
he obeved. The rude attempted to he forced
upon them was not enacted lor proper legis
latum, for IHe regulation and protection of
society, or the development of the reeourees
of the country, hut to enslave the body and
soul of every citiirn, and to rivet th® insti
tution oiala very up>»n a soil consecrated to
feedom. No honest man could endorse or
subscribe to such a code, and tho Fret State
men did not."
On the subject of a constitutional con*
vent ton, the add re* reiterate* the policy
enunciated at tho Topeka convention. It
my:
"On the 10th of March, a Free SUUj Con
vention awemhled at Topeka and adopted a
platform, «hich will he found append*] to
thieaddriM. Cn that platform it will Iw
mh that the Free Stain men infuse to Tote
for df-legatce to a oonetituthnal conrention,
under a rvjcUtrr act which pasnnd the last
bogus leg'slature. Lite developments havo
proved the wisdom of the policy, for by the
lint of qualified voten returned hy the eher
iff- of um di&rent eoanlim. thousands of
Free State voters hare b«en ignored. while
the mm of numerous unknown and mvth-'
ical individual* are entered as •qualified
electors.' All the machinery of the election |
is to be controlled bj pro-slavery rmrti bum,
ind it would ba suicidal for tbe Fin Suta
party to go ioto an election in the f ee of
well odd*, and with their put experience."
The address conclude# u follows :
"Having thus dehoeatod the ooarn of
events that have transpired in Kansas—liav
ing shown how the Five State party, though
embracing more than two thiras ot the ac
tual settlers. Iiuys been deprived. through
fraud and violence, of any representation in
lejislatirv owemhlioa. and of any roioe in
the enacting of laws or the selection of Ter
ritorial officials, and bring threa ened with
the enforcement and adoption of a slave con
stitution, by Congress, for Kansas—wo np
j»*»l with the deepest sincerity ami earnest
nen to the Northern pec pie, without dis
tinction of party or creed, to aid in averting
such a national calamity We ask but that
Congress mar adopt the Topeka Conatitu
ti»n, which has already psssod the House,
or that both it and the one that will be
adopted by the pro slarcry convention in
September, be returned to the people of the
Territory, with an enabling aot providing
for a fair and honeet vote of the bona fide
residents. We ask no more than this—we
can nsk no lees."

(£7" The Democrat still continue to prow
upon its readers its rodomontude about
Democracy. It U in the sacred name ol
Democracy, that tlio greatest of crimes hare
been committed. The editor of tho Demo
crat ha* a history which makes its profana
tion for him to talk about the rights of tho
people, and tho recognition of their rights,
as constituting Democracy. Only a few
years since, bo was a famous advocate of
free territory, declaring it to be the right
and duty of Congress to provent tho spread
of slavery by legislative enactment, and de
flouncing'the doctrine of popular sovereignty
to be a sophism which whilo it professes to
maintain tho rights of freedom, in effect
abandons the people of the territories to sla
very. Within a few years, he has abandon
ed that ground, and though, every week,
pr.ting about Democracy, he has supported
men and measures outraging every principle
of Dem ocrucy, extenuated frauds on ballot
boxes, apologised for Iwrdor ruffain crimes,
and mifrcpn«entod,nnd libelled the friends of
1 real Democracy. There has been no crimtB
| perpetrated in Kanau by border ruifian
i hands, no outrago on the rights of its peo
ple, which ho has not palliated or defended,
and no mcusure of federal injustic towards
that tenitory, which has not found a ready
defence from hi* pen. Too weak to resini
the knavvry of his party, though opposed to
it in tho beginning, he has become, by
making himself fumiliir with political
wrong, an adept in its practice—and with
> the greatest volubility, while supporting and
upholding, constantly, measures which out
rage all tho jurt principles of Democracy,
can rattlo off any amount of mnaninglco
phrases about the rights of the people.

to tlio citizens of Lawrence, K.insus, says
in reference to tho judges ot election, h«

Tuk Rcrdell Mirder Cask.—In the trial
nt New York, of Mm. Cunningham, for the
manler of Dr. Burdt-U, on Saturday, District
Attorney Hall aumtuod up for tho proaecu
tion, and after tho iwas Mr. Clinton com*
menccd his argument for the defenso. Th*
oiw win giren to tho jury at 7 o'clock In
tho croning. In half an hour afterwards
they returned with a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr*. Cunningham was thon discharged fro.i.
custody, and Mr. Eckel, who is charged
with tho aamo offense, hut who ia to hare a
aepnrato trial, waa discharged on his rooog
nisanc*.
Tho Now York prwa and peoplo aw dia
cuasing wi'h much oarneatnoaaand acumen
how and by whum this murder oould hare
been committed, now that tb« tbeorr, »o
genmlly accepted heretofore, that it w*i«
tho work of memlx*ra of bis household. is
shatter**! by an acquittal. A focal writer
in the Times broaches this now idea:
•'Tho key to Dr. BurdeU's cham'wr, con
trary to hi* iimml cuaioin, wu left in the
luck outside the dour. It whs difficult to
appruuch liiui stealthily in his lighted room.
Tor he apparently hud cuk-n out hia paper*
for the purp**ws of busine*. In view of
the facte, it appear* to roethat the murderer
wm one who acoompunied him t«> hi* room,
whose pirseneo there giro no alitrm, with
whom he wu trunwcting business, and who,
standing by hi* chair as he sut in it in front
of the secretary, suddenly struck the first
b ow, and grasped him by the throat, when
he failed to fall at once; who p>>mihlyseined
and appropriated mon»*y and papers (none
wero touno on the doctor's person,) and who
then grope I his war through the darkened
hall to the oater door, and thus escaped.
Cho naiuro of the wounds and the charwo
tor of the struggle, tend to show that the aa
aoasin mast hare been a roan of powerful
frame, and probably of taller stature than
the viotim ; and there are strong nusons for
supposing that he knew well where lay the
greut artcriee, and how to reaoh the vital
organs."

the crowd became so groat on Sundaj that

There are very rare periods in the history
of the world whin facto the moat outrage
ous i<nd dreadful follow ouch other in such
rapid succession as to cease to produce the
Hurtling effect which, at any other time,
anil if occurring singly, they would inevit
able produce. Such w.is the caso in the
reign of terror of the French Revolution,
in the seige of Jerusalem, and during the
plague in Athens and in London. Man's
tnind seemed to be stunned with tho fearful
scenes or tidings which followed c ish other
us fast and relentlessly as the blows ot an
assassin, and they liud no longer the power
of wondering at anything, or of estimating
crimo and evil aright. Just so is it with
tho events occurring in our day in the slave
States of America. Thoy are so strange, so
unnatural, so outrngooua, so indcecriliuhle,
s> groUoque, (if wo may use tho terui) in
t icir horror and wickednows, that any ono
of them alone would cxcito the indignation
of tho world, and yet they follow cach other
*> rapidly that thoy wtun our moral sonso,
ind wo lose the power of adequately appro
cia ing them. We record them and N|>ealc
of them with comparative calinnom ; they
do not horrify and agoniso us as thoy cer
tainly would if any one of them came upon
us separately, and so as to sccure our atten
tive consideration.
Let our waders reflect for a fow moment*
on ouch of tho following facts, which urn
mere sample* of the events in the modern
hutory of tho slave States of America.—
Would they have belie* od, unleM proved to
them by testimony beyond all possible ques
tion, that in tho blaso of tho civilisation of
thu uinteenth century, and in a christian
land, such tiling* us the following could
tuve tuken plac<>?
That human being* should Ik> I red, in
^vriuin States, to Iw sold us s ave* in other
State*. and thut this brooding and traffic
diould go on un regularly us with the grazier*
and drovers who brng cuttle from higliLtid
o lowland markets!
That father*sho l-l rctnoneleMly sell their
•wn childr n into hopeless and murderous
b mdage!
That rcgultr cstablishincnta ahould h •
formed fur hlood-hound*, to hunt thn
«retched men und women who U.«o from
servitude!
That in the open market-place* of o'egant
.•itiea there shoul<l he unction blocks, where
iuman creatures of l>otli *exca are ezpo*»«d
nearly linked, und knocked down to tho
iighe*t liiililer!
That in thorn und nil other acalcn, the
deanvt bond* of relalio ihhip iihould ho ruth
lessly severed—wives being torn from their
li uplands, und children from their mother* !
That the system ahould lw attended by
iii<l«>ua licontioiunetM, thoyoung women lw
"inning tho eoncuhin<* of their owner, und
Seing made to breed alaves to bo aold for
their own father's profit!
That the slaves should lw fl>»god at tho
liacretion of tr,eir owner*, and that in very
many instance* they should bo flogged to
death !
That in Sttitea where these thing* are "as
notorioua a* tho aun at noon d.iy," legiala
lure* ahouhl enforce the luw* ; nay, that
ministers of religion should defend the aya
tem, and themselves practice tho enormities !
That thn I'rws itself nhould bo ao prosti
tuted to vindicate idavery, nay, oven to
maintain that itia tho natural und be*t state
ofhumnr society, and to arguo that the
«tnte of freedom la wjRsk tlian that of alave
ry !
* That tho State* depraved by thia ayatem
should audacioualy claim aaa right that tho
Union should extend alavery into now Ter
ritories, nay, ahould seize fresh Territorie*
from foreign I'owera for thia purpose, and
should even go to war to effect that ohjuct'
That, not finding material enough at homo
for their covotousnca* and cruolty, tho aluvo
owner* ahould bo actually propping to re
vive the African slave-trade, which haa been
declared piracy by every civilized govern- j
uient!
That the alavo States ahould extend alavery
by open fon-e and civil war—sending an
'trmy into a neighboring Territory,(Kan«i*,)
driving away legal votors from tho poll*,
electing a Legislature nf ruffian invader*,
enacting by that Legialaturo onoof tho most
horrible oodes of law* ever known, carrying
those laws into effect by imprisoning u Gov
ernor. and hundred* of freemen for maintain
ing their freedom,—and all for tho cxpreaa
purposo of extending tho dominion of aluv-1
ery!
That whon tbeoo atrocious deed* nro cz
pmod in Congrew of the United States ul
Washington by ono of the be«t and ablest
of the Senatora. he should bo brutally bouten
to tho earth with a bludgo n bv one of bin
follow-scnators, and lib Iito endangered, and
ili.it tho wrong-doer should receive no pun
isbiuent, but, oq tho contrary, bo loaded
with honor*!
That tho great people of tho United States
«hould after all these thing*, elect as their
President, a man who is pledged nut only to
maintain tho cxUting system, but to exumd
it by tbo acquisition or t-diure of foreign
rerfitory!
It is surely impossible for the irreat po>
plo of tho Cnihxl States to endure uiuuh
longer such outnigxs and abominations as
those ol which wit have presented specimens.

Pmr'a Patcct Lamp. Wo hate tested

and without very little crusting. Uff.ird's,
wo havo always regarded as a superior lamp.
Perry's in an improvement on Uffjrd's, its
superiority consisting id the arrangement of
it*. top, making it easier to fill and to clean,
and in the tube, which is inserted into the
oil, and being heated by tho flame of the
burning oi 1 keeps it, when in operation,
even in the ooblast weather, liquid, and in
condition to burn. Using oil of the cheap
est kind, costing perhaps from 50 to 75
cents per pillon, tho cost of obtaining a
good light, is merely nominal. Wo advise
all who want to obtain light at chcap rates,
to provide themselves with Perry's Lamp.
It in finished up in good shape, and can bo
used with equal convenience, either as a
stand or hand lamp. Wo aro indebted to

A Si not i.ir Trial in CaLtrdft.vu. A suit
was brought by a Chinaman in the court of
Justice Jonks, against u woman of his tribe,
for tho recovery of $00 alleged to have been
paid by tho^tluintifT in behalf of tho defend*
ant, fur a passage for herself and two com*
pinions from Marysville to San Francisco.
During tho piogroM of tho trial it was pro*
posed that the test of tho Chine*) oath bo
brought into requisition. Tho idea is as fol
lows: Two livo roosters aro presented, and
tho parties each bike tho 0.1th, and at tho
Httno timo cut off the head of tho fowl beforo
thorn. Tho ono who hesitate* is acknowl*
edged to lw in fault. Thi* manner of oath
is considered to bo most sacred, and a chin
aman would us soon cut his own throat as
that of the low!; that is, if guilty. If, un
der these circumstances, ho swear falsely,
he is cut off from his cntbro tribe. Tho
roosters wer*. brought into court, an 1 the
girl took tho knife. The room was crowd
ed with Chinese, and as she stood over the
fowl, they all stared ut her with as much
interest as if she was aliout to ho guillotin*
od. Tho oath was being administered, and
she struck. Several of her friends sprang
forward to prevent her, as they evidently
thought her guilty und about to swear false
ly but they were too late, us tho floor was
already covered with blood. Tho pluintifl*
ut onco gavo up the case and paid tho Costa.
If, however, tho suspicions of her tribe
prove correct, and she is subsequently shown
to bo guilty, sho will suffer severe persecu
tion and finally banishment.
