Kansas.
Is not Abbeville goinj/ to have "a place
in the picture" in this second movement for
Kansas? Evidently we must send more
men and money, or that favored spot will
not only be lost to the South, but the institution
upon which onr future existence as a
peculiar people depends, will be thereby
greatly weakened. Every Congressional
District i;i the Stale, should send out a company
of young men right off. This would
not only show otu earnestness in the matter
liut t would be taking u step in the rij^Iit [
direction. Let us, let Abbeville District,
then move in this thing without further
delay.
The Nominees of tho Democratic Party.
Several of our exchanges arc out against
I tlio nominees : we would be glad to be inj
formed who they would recommend us to
i support ? President Tierce was our first
choiee?and after him, Judge Douglas:
Iiut is it not wiser to vote for Mr. lluchanan
than to throw our vote away, which will, in
effect, aid 1'lack Republicanism ? All the
South are united now, and if they will continue
united, wc will have nothing to JVar.
I )ivisioti among ourselves is our greatest
danger. The few A'jiow TCothhxjx in tlie
j South will, wc doubt not, in due lime, do
like the more sensible of thy ol<l line Whigs,
fall into the Democratic: rank*.
Sunday School Celebrations.
We hear of several of these celebrations
to como oft' next month, ami the intelligence
gratifies up. Nothing can he more
fitting or proper than to inculcate into the
minds of our children the proper observance
of the Sabbath as well as every other
Scriptural injunction touching their early
education. We believe strictly in the Wise
man's precept on this subject, and, hold that
if properly carried out, the happy result
. therein promised, would most assuredly be
attained. And what is, or can be, of groater
importance than the proper education of
childrcu ? not tbaicmi'.ntnl *
" ""l.y> Ula
also their moral training?their being
brought up in that nurture and admonition
of which the Scriptures speak, and to which
is annexed so encouraging a promise ? We
repent, we are really gratified that a move
is being made in the right direction in several
sections of the District upon this subject.
We have flourishing Sunday Schools in
the village. Can they not give us a celebration
?

Tlio several anthems were sung by gentlemen
who volunteered on the occasion.
After which, Mr. Niernsco made a short
address upon having the work delivered to
liim by the Masons.
Prof. J. L. Reynolds then addressed tinassemblage,
on tho subject of the ttne arts
in general and architecture in particular, as
follows:
l'rof. Reynolds commenced his address
by congratulating his fellow-citizens on the
laying of tho corncr-stonc of an edifice
which promised to be an ornament to the
Slato. The character of the assemblage
w.v, he thought, beautifully signifioant of
tlie liberal institutions of tho country.
Here were asseinble.il t.h?
of the dilfcretit nations of Kurope, the Englishman,
tliu Scot, ?fcc., uniting with the
sons of the soil in presenting a common
ofFering upon the altar of our cherished
commonwealth, lie then touched upon
the subject of architecture, which he deem-,
ed an important portion of the history
of a people. It is the external representation
of their innei life, and embodies their
views, feelings and hopes. Taking a rapid j
survey of the public edifices of Kyypt and i
India, of (Jreece and Rome, lie indicated
the peculiar ideas of which they were the
symbols, and then glanced at the loftv pile
?Vii.? n~.i.:.. r< ..i i. i
n.v; vmiun; vyjuuosrai, as expressing the religions
sentiments of those who elected it.
Modern architecture, he remarked, has
ceased to be symbolical and purely despotic.
It subordinates all other claims to those of
utility, but it does not neglect the intimate
alliance which should ever subsist between
utility and beauty. Our State House is
to be both useful and beautiful, adapted to
the purpose which it is intended to observe,
and vet ministering to tlm rrm#;R-.??!?

ft cultivated taste. A State House should
represent, in the grandeur of its proportions,
tho dignity and majesty of tlie commonwealth.
It was ft broad and comprehensive
wisdom, not a reckless and ostenlacious
prodigality,Lwhieh crected magnificent public
buildings. Logislfttion loses something
of the reverence which is due, when it emanates
from a shanty or a barn.
Such buildings, he remarked, arc among
the most efficient educators of the peqple.
They inspir^a taste- for tire beautiful and
the elogaWf^whiCb, diffused through all
ranks of S'Xjfcly, appears'in the cottages of
labor ;us well as the mansions of "wealth.
At this poiut, he introduced several illustrations,
and enlarged particularly on the beneficial
influence of'floriculture, as exhibited
in our own "City of Oaks."
The speaker now took a retrospect of the
history of the commonwealth,. ,?in<l pj^J a

Senate.?Mr. lirigbt being absent, Mr.
Stuart was elected President /cm.
On motion of Mr. Adams, the bill to

Mr. Trumbull introduced a bill to restore

N ebi asku.
Mr.Trutnbtill explained lliat the only object
ot' the bill was to extend tlie territorial
government of Nebraska over Kansas, and
abolish the present government of the latter
Territory, anil the laws made by their
Legislature. He thought the proposition
was worthy of souio consideration, as there
was a slate of things now existing in Kansas
w hich all good men must deplore. lie
,i;.i - i * > -? -

<i:> that would withdraw it from the consideration
of the Senate.
Mr. Douglas hoped it would he referred
to the coin milieu <?n territories, who would
report on it at an early day. It inrolved
some grave questions ; but lie was glad to
see that the opponents of Ihe Nebraska
bill were beginning t<> acknowledge the
principle of that bill. The laws of Nebraska
were made by the people of Nebraska,
and the laws of Kansas by the people
of Kansas; but the proposition now
was to abolish tliH laws inn<l? ili<>
, j v,,~
of Kansas lor their own government, and
to place tlieni under the laws of Nebraska,
which they have had no voice in making.
Mr. Trumbull said that so far from acknowledging
the principle of. the Nebraska
bill, lie did not believe there was any
principle at :tll in it. It was understood in
| one way at the North, and in another at
ino ."South. .liut lie would admit that this
j bill was not such a proposition as lie should
! prefer. IIo regarded the repeal of the MisI
suui i Compromise as the causo of all the
mischief; and he would be glud to restore
tilings 19 their former position. But this
was a temporary expedient, not intended to
carry out his own wishes fully. Jle meant
to occupy a conservative ground upon this
question, and was willing to yield something,
! for lie was sorry to see strife in Kansas, and
was anxious that some measure should be
immediately adopted to restore peace to
tiiat unhappy Territory,
Mr. Douglas said lie was as anxious as
his colleague to have peace and quietness
restored in Kansas. He was willing to
yield something also; blithe would yield
what .some of the people of Kansas refused
to yield, and that was implicit obedience to
the laws of the land. It every body would
do this there would be no difficulty in Kansas
or any where el.-e. But if, instead of
compelling the rioters anuVebels to submit
to the law, they were to be placed utider
the laws of another territory, tlio effect
would be to extend strife and turmoil to Ne?u
ti~
?..ow. lie HJIS unwilling lo 111IHot
upon Nebraska ilic curses of the strife and
mob violence that existed in Kansas.
The people of Nebraska have obeyed the
law, and they have peace, in Kansas -the
law had been trampled under foot, and
there was strife. Abolitionists and the Immigrant
Aid Societies had not interfered in
.Nebraska to pervoit the terms and meaning
of a law of Congress; and the very fact
that botli territories were created under one
law, and that in one there was peace and
quietness, while, in the other there was strife
and controversy, shows that the fault is'
not in the law. The fault was in firm-wn
interference. Strife and violence wero the
fruits of that interference in Kansas; but
there had been non-interfcrenee in Nebraska,
and peace and harmony had been the
natural consequence.
If his colleague thought the Nebraska
bill was understood differently iu tho North
and the South, ho had better read tho proceedings
of the Democratic National Convention.
lie would find that tho principles
of tho Democratic party wore proclaimed
North, South, East and West everywhere
alike?proclaimed by t&e unani-1

alike. All true Democrats had no trouble
in construing it ; and nobody liad any .trouble
except those who were opposed to it
and who were determined not to be satisfied
with it. The principles of that bill wore
embodied in the compromise of 1850; and
they were confirmed by the election of President
Piereo in 1852.

1 Exciting News from Kansas
Under this heading, the St. Louis Republican
has the following loiter from a corrcs!
pondent, dated West port, May 27 :
Tl ie Abolitionists are again under arms.
I So soon as the militia dispersed,they began
i to murder in the dark. There is no open
! light in them. For more than a year, the
! fanatics in Lnwrenco have been swearing
that they would light before surrendering.
On the 21st, they had a fair chance for a
daylight light, but that is not what they
want. When thero was a chance to kill
Jones in the day time, while discharging
his duty, no one dared to ilo it, but when
uight came many were ready, and it was
done?the world knows how dastardly.
To-day we got authentic news of the mur|
der of several citizens on l'ottowattomiu
creeic, in coWl blood. Yesterday, an extra
I was published at Independence, about, the
i massacre, a copy of which was sent you today,
without comment, a long with my hitter,
giving a detailed account of the siege
at Lawrence. A letter was received here
to-day, signed by well known persons, confirming
the new#. Five men are known to
have killed. A. 1'. Wilkison, a member ol

husband's life, but the only answer was that
she had "kind friend?" lie was cut to
pieces. Au old man by t.ho name of Doyle,
and two four, were slain?one of them, a
lad, bad his hands and ears cut off by the
Abolitionists, and after suffering for some
time, they quartered his head.
Then there was a Mr. Sherman, whom
they butchered so that his wife could hear
the death blows and the dying groans,

At Lawrence it coulil have been done; bill
no, the}* go where they arc the strongest
J party, and kill in the dark.
Within a few days, many families have
arrived here from Hickory Point, in Kansas,
who were driven from their farms, and
in some cases their negroes and horses stolen.
The negroes were told that they
could go to Missouri and be slaves, or stay
and be free. Those that remained were
armed?some would not remain.

If they do not cease soon, lliey can only
end in war and extermination of one or the

that will be.
It was thought that destroying the hotel
and printing ,oflioes in Lawrence would

j that the pro-slavery party, or Mi=sonrians.
' as they call them, were afraid of Sharpe'f

should be proved to them that they did not
fear the m, they would be submissive. They
ran with the very guns in their hands that
tliev had sworn to fight with, and begged

Thisinny certify that I have used Perry Da1

and believe it to be a very valuable medicine.
1 linve prescribed it extensively in bowel complaint,
(particularly for children,) and it is in
my opinion .superior to any preparation I liavo'
ever uscl for the relief of those diseases..

1'krry Davis' I'.ux Killer, as an internal
, remedy has no equal. In eases of Cholic, Summer
Complaint, Dyspepsia, Dyncntery and A?th?
ma, it will euro in mt?: night, by taking it in.
ternnlly and bathing with it freely. It is thebest
Liniment in America. Its action is like

' Dr. 0'< o. It. (h fm,?J/car Hir: 1 feel it a#
pleasure to make known to you and the public,.
the surprising effects of' the Oxygenated Bitters.
in relieving me from that most discouraging:
' disorder, Dyspepsia. I have been afflicted for
about seventeen years with the usual attendant
?mviz.: constipation of the bowels,
headache, pain in the cheat, flatulence, acidity
of the stoniaelu', and severo nausea; and moat
of the time I was extremely billions, I haveused
various remedies, have been strict in my
diet, but all to no good purpose. Hearing of
the Ox'/ffCuaUtl Hitters, 1 procured some; have
used four bottles, and tiud the bad symptoms
all removed, and myself once more in the
enjoyment of health. None but the dyspeptic
sufferer, who has felt all the horrors of the
disease, can at all appreciate the value of the
tincdicine. Respectfully yours,
