That pleasure's brightly colored wreath
1 May shine around thy way?
' That thou mayst smoothly glide along.
The soundless stream of time?
And moor thy barque, without a storm,
In that enchanting clime.
Oh No! as this were enly vain;
For all the past has shown,
That with the blossom?, must we reap
The tares that have been sown.
The brightest eye must shine throueh tears:
: The;fuirest, of the fair,
: Must feel at times the chilling blight,
The hand of pale despair, .
ButI would only ask for thee,
' A spirit, nerved for all
The sunshine', or the shade of life,"
That o'er thy path may fall.
That in thy heart, may sweetly bloom,
Clusters of graces rare;
And all, that beautifies the soul.
.'May richly blossom there,
And when thou shalthave grown less gay,
Less beautiful than now
That thou mayst wear above the clouds,
. A crown upon thy brow.'

The Douslass Report Again.
But Senator Douglass not only makes
war upon the opin'ons of the framoreof our
Federal Constitution, in regard to the prop
er construction of that instrument, but com
ing down to a more modern date, he hurls
hitt juitttbemas at that "peculiar institution,"
ie "Mai?- kniigrant Aid Society."
Aithougi ft 15 'tf veil known' fact that this
society obtained & "cter. lrom an ad
ministration legislature and flat the plan
was fully completed upon Wijcb. it as or
ganized, without reference to the u?estiorl
Of 8laycry, that nmong its "stock holders'-
were prommenij, supporters oi, iue. presenij
administration, that no man is or was exclu
ded from it on account of his political opin
ions;' that it has: been conducted in strict ac
cordance with the laws of the States and of
tho U. S.tlio N, K. Bill not accepted yet
notwithstanding oil this, tho .Senator Tory
gravely oharges the society with' attempt
ing td"abolitionize Kansas."' '' ' '
The foundation1 of this charge is the fact
that thp socioty published, a pamphlet in
which they stated their belief that "the. ter
ritory selected as the j scene of. pperations,
would be filled with free mhitants.'1 And
what good reason is there for not filling it
with "free inhabitants?" i Is that thd class
of population that eurie a territory or State?
And) does th Senator., mean to insinuate
that slavery is better 1 for ' those territories
than free&om t ' Such at least is the fair in
ference from his own language, and such
we claim are his sentiments until the c6n-
trary is shown. 'Bit again ho tells us that
the proceeding of this society are in "per-
jircrsioa of tl)o plain" provisions pf Jan act'ofi
Congress"-r-the N. K. Bill. , To be sure ho
does not point out the article or section

ofthe serft wiRjOioy bnji ftfcattW
unproutaWe, , something 'must Be done.
Hard-faced as he is he dare not deny these
facts; and the only hope left him was to at
tempt to shield those disgraces to mankind
the "Border Ruffians" by asserting that
their, nefarcous crimes wero caused by tho
peaceful and lawful efforts of the "Emigrant
Aid Society." Ilea him on p. 7. of his
"Report:" "When emigrants sent out by
the Mass. ' Emigrant Aid Co., &c, passed
through the State of Missouri tc, their lan-
euagio, and tho unmistakcable indications of
their determined hostility, to tho domestic
institutions (slavery) of that State, created
apprehensions that the object of the compa
ny was to aholitionize Kansas 5cc. Thcso
apprehensions increased and spread with
the progress of events, until they became
the settled convictions of the people of that
portion of the State most exposed to dan
ger by their proximity to the Kansas bor
der. The natural consequence was that
immediate steps were taken by the people of
the Western counties of Missouri to stimu
late, organize and carry into effect a sys
tem of emigration similar to that of the
Em. A. Co., for the avowed purpose of
counteracting tho effects, and protecting
themselves and their domestic institutions
from the consequences of that company's
operations." As a matter of course , the
Senator produced no evidence of the char
ges made in the above extract, against the
E. A. Co.; though perhaps in this he is ex
cusable, as such evidence is not in existence.
The assertion that the Ruffianism which
trampled down the rights of the citizens of
Kansas) is a system of emigration similar
to that of the 'M. A. Society," is simply
ridiculous; as every inteligcnt man knows it
to be utterly false. , Even from tho admis
sions of the Senator himself it is false; as he
informs us in the VRcport," that . for this
Company, "an act of incorporation was pro
cured from the Legislature of the State of
Mass;" while he does not even pretend that
the proceedings of the "Border Ruffians,"
was ever sanctioned by the Legislature of
any State or Territory in existence. But
says the Senator, "the violence of their lan
guage, and the unmistakeable indications of
their determined hostility to the domestic in
stitutions slavery of that State" (Missou
ri) done what? why it "oreated apprehen
sions that the object of the company, was to
aholitionize Kansas." But how did they
design accomplishing this "object." Here
again the'"Report" tells us that "through
the lallot-lox" they were "to gain control
over the 'Legislation of the Territory." So
then according to Senator Douglass, the
head and fornt" of the offences of this com
pany is that they designed to "abolitionize
Kansas',' fill it with "free inhabitants"
and "through the ballot-box" control "the
Legislation of the Territory." This is cer
tainly amosthenious crime, the perpetra
tors of which, ought speedily bo brought to
punishment. Just think of it fullow-citizcns,
freemen of tho North have cone to Kansas
and "through the ballot-box" attempted to
control "the Legislation of the Territory."
But worse than this; they wish to fill it with
"free inhabitants," or to use the Senator's
expression, "abolitionize Kansas;" and this
of all other crimes in tho calcndor he seems
to think the worst.
Tho idea of making Kansas free docs ap
pear rather absurd and f fanatical;" and
yet'vr? ink tlie honorable Senator ought not
to be too severe upon those1 who adopt it,
as they may be honest men in error think
our beloved 'Washington correct when in
writing to Robert Morris hb said:'"I can on
ly say that there is not a man living who
wishes more sincerely, than I do to see a
plan adopted for the abolition of it, (slavery)
but there is only one proper effectual modo
in which it can be accomplished, and that is
by leglstative authority', and ' this as far as
my suffrage will go shall never be wanting."
Or perhaps they believe Jefferson when he
says: that slavery is "tho most 1 unremitting
despotisms on ono part, and degrading sub
missions on the'other:".'or Franklin who
says, 'that slavery is an attrocious debase
ment of human nature." V. It may be that
some one of them have read tho ; "Madison
Papers, " where James Madison reports him
self as saying, in. Ahe Federal Convention,
that ''he thought it wrofijito admit into the
Constitution tho idea that thero could be
property in man' and from thjs might have
concluded that it .would .alio, be wrong to
au.mil me iaea iu wi xerruunua. (. ....

trine of "squatier sovereignty" is tho polar
star ol 1'emocracy, and the utter repudia
tion of tho good old Jeffjrsoninn Idea that
Congress hus the power to govern, the ter
ritories, the corner ston6 of democratic or
thodoxy:' suppose we commence back a few
Years and track Mr. Pierce io his present
position. ,. y
fie was, as Is well known to nil, a mem
ber of the Democratic party of New Hamp
shire, in fact, ho was tho Democratic party.
The New Hampshire Smto convention in
1847 adopted the following resolution:
Kezohed, That we declare It our solemn
conviction, as the Democratic party have
heretofore done, that hoither slavery nor
involuntary servitude should hereafter exist
in any lerrrtory which may be acquired by
or annexed to the United States; and that
we approve of the votes of our delegation
in Congress in favor of the Wllmot proviso.
John P. Hale wns then a Senator, and is
now. Hale maintains his ground on the
Wilmot Proviso, the Granite State Democ
racy don't. They have "progressed." -.
Again, in 1848 the New Hampshire Leg.
islature, then largely. Democratic, passed
the following resolution by a very large ma
jority:
Resolved, By the Senate and IIouso of
Representatives in Genoral Court convened.
That we are In favor of the passape of a
law by Congress forever prohibiting slavery
in iev Mexico and California, and in all
other territories now acquired, or hcreufior
to be acquired Oy the Uniteo States, In which
slavery does not exist at the time of such
acquisition.' ' . ' ,
In 1849 ti e same body passed the follow
ing resolutions: ',',','.
Itesolved, 1 hat, opposed to everv form
of oppression, the peoplo of New Hamp
shire have ever viewed with deep regret
the existence of slavery-in this Uriiinn; that
while they have steadfastly supported all
sections In their constitutional rights, they
have not only lamented its existence ns a
great sociai evil, but regarded it as fraught
with danger to the peace and welfare of the
nation.
Resolved, That while we respect ihe
rights of tho slaveholding as well as the free
portions of this Union while wo will not
consent that wrong be done to any member
of the glorious confederacy to which we be
long, we are firmly and unalterably opposed
to the extension of slavery ovor any portion
of American soil now Ireo. " :
Resolved, That in our opinion Congress
has the constitutional power to abolish the
slave trade, and slavery in the District of
Columbia, and that our Senators be instruc
ted and our Representatives requested to
nke all constitutional measures to accom
plish this object. '
During this time, be it remembered, Gen.
Pierce was wiih the. New Hampshire de
mocracy, and endorsed their acts. Ho was
then standing upon the same platform that
the Republican party now stands on: "No
more slave states,"
About tho date of these last resolutions a
new element of political action was ushered
into being lrom tho brains of General Cars.
We alludo to the Cass-Nicholson letter idea
of "squatter sovereignty." .. The New
Hampshire democracy had thoir own opin
ion of this doctrine there, at the record
pioves.
The N. H. Patriot (Gen. Pierce's organ)
of July 26th, 1849, contained the following
articlo: , , .- .
"Tho Democracy of tho Nonn nevor did
endorse the doctrine, (of squatier sover
eignty) and they never will, The demos
racy of this State are unanimous in the opin
ion so far as we know, that Congress has
and should exercise the power, and exclude
slavery from California and New Mexico."
By ihe above extracts It will bo seen thai
Pierco's .friends now deny what the v then
affirmed, and affirm what they than denied.
Thoy treat the Wilmot Proviso as second
only in atrocity to an attempt to dtssolvo tho
Union, while they huj the "squatter sov
ereignty" doctrine to their hearts in very
love, adopting it into their political house
hold, and making it chief over all. Bel
mont Chronicle, ' '..,:
:A '-'Hit-' Ar MobmomsM. A fow days
since; Mr. Ball, of Ohio, introduced a reso
lution into the House at Washington, in
structing the Judiciary committee to exam
ine and report upon the expediency of a law
prohibiting persons already married,' from
marrying again, or cohabiting with any other
persons than their original lawful partner,
in any of tho territories of the United States.
This raised a - muss.1' Tho first . part could
be endured but (he last . clause was declared
by some of the ' members to be A direct in-
l lnge,nont upon their deereM personal rights.
Mr. Orf, of South Catollnti Objected to it, as
he said for the benefit of hit neighbor, Mr.
Bernhisel, delegate from Utah, who It said
to have a harem lull 1 or wives at home.
And so the- resolution went ovor, which Is
equivalent ' toll indefinite postponement:
