tffall must "be constantly "kept in view, eo long as we are in society Does it mean that the rights of part, or half, or of the whole As I understand the English language, the word all includes the whole. Fiftly, naw, Mr. Ethnic, bow do you an-aljzeyour golden- rule? would rou like to be driv back from the state line against jour will into danger? I apprehend not Sixthly, you claim that by the law of nature, and natuies God, that we are bound to protect the how do you get around that? 'That is your position, and that is right, honorable and just, and I for one am ready to stand by that principle if necessity demands. Now, my friend Ethnic, I want you to answer the.se few questions by the next issue of the Report, if possible. But do not put yourself behind that ficticious name.

Ethnic. Give us your own name, and let the people see who vou are. Yours for Freedom, C. R. JENNISON.

1 have no doubt that the act, under the circumstances was justifiable, and the course pursued a proper and legitimate one. The timqhad come when our people had either to submit to man hunting, or they had to deal promptly with the man hunter. There was no longer opportunity fo evade the issue. Thos-o who have rooght the battles of Kansas, and devoted treasure and enetgtes to liberty on the soil of this Territory, had either to lie still and see the influence of that institu tion which thiy had so Icng combatted, extend itself over our soil and fasten the manacles upon a fellow creature and drag him into slavery, or they had to determine to strike down the man who engages in the inhuman and unnatural business, and proclaim to the world that he wbo sells himself to engage in man hunting in Kansas, does it at the peril of his life. They were driven to this alternative and they have chosen to declare that manhunting, uader no pretenses whatever, can be tolerated upon our soil.

S. For the Report. An Explanation Wanted. Messrs Editors In youc last issue of the Report, I notice an article he idcJ, A few plain Thoughts in which the author states i the following ideas (iVahe ieoxhings bad institutions, Xand erroneous halflts thinking draw a veil over our mental and moral vision, stifle out natural instincts asd stultify the soul. To the unprejudiced mind no proposition is plainer, Mhan that, all men are by nature equal in their rights to lie, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It would argue an imperfection in nature or in the great author and upholder of the universe, to say that these rights of each individual of the human family do not ex'st in harmony with ich other. No ones circle of rights ever extends into, or ever comes in conflict with any other ones rights. No right is ever violated without some one has usurped a prerogative that does not belong to him, and becomes an aggressor. Now either have the right to defend an maintain these rights or we have not. If we have not, our condition is not only deplorable indeed, but it is rediculous.

If we have it, then we have it with limit or without limit. In the pristine condition or unorganized state of society, the right of self defence, self-preservation, is "infinite or commensurate with our power. But in the governmental stage, certain rights are delegated to the body politic for the common wellare. This, to some extent, abridges our individual rights, and properly because, in an associated capacity the acts of an individual will affect the whole more or less beneficially or injuriously; hence the rights of all must be constantly kept in view in our pursuits of life, so long as we are in society. When out of society, or fi om the nature of the case Ihe delegared rights and consequent power of socio'y cannot reach us, we fall back to our isolated, individual cr pristine condition, and may defend our rights in our ow.i way, and (o use a common expression) on our own hook.

Now, Mr. Editors, as regards the above, I agree with your former coirespondent, in sentiment and principle, and from bis language, ideas and sentiments, shows him to be i person of good ability, and morals but of very poor logic. Asttiio hesav: will not stop now to nve the oWHie golden, unto would that they should tbi unto you, but will presume its truth, from which it follows that we may, yea, are bound by the laws of nature, and of natures God to assist the panting fugitive from bis inhuman task master. Not only so. but we are bound whenever prudence will allow it, to beard the monster in his den, teach the oppressor that the God of Leman nature and the universe is the God of hum in freedom as well, and I trust the time is fast hastening when a general action will be taken in this direction, but ic seems to me very imprudent, indiscreet, unwise and impolitic to move in this matter now or even attempt to defend and protect the fugitive i.i our midt, when removed a little further from the line, would, perhaps, prevent much wroDg and suffer ing in our midst.

In the first place, he admits that all men are by nature, equal in their rights, to life, liberty, and the pursuit happiness in the second place, that no right is ever violated, without some one has usurped a prerogative, that does not belong to him, and becomes an aggressor; again he says we either have the right to defend and maintain these lights, or we have not, if we have not, our condition is not only deplorable indeed, but it is rediculous again be says the rights of all must be constantly kept in view, in our pursuits of life, so long as we are in society again he says the oppressed have the natural right to protect, restore, and maintain his right to life and liberty. He also takes the golden rule for his guide (and a good one it is), to do unto others as we would that they should do unto and further claims, that we are bound by the law of nature, and the laws of God to assist the Fugitive from his inhuman task master. A fter uttering all these sentiments he says, in a er timid, and cowardly way it seems to me very imprudent, indiscreet, unwise, and impolitic, to even attempt to defend and protect the fugitive in our midst. Thus showing th he is willing i to sacrifice his honor, his manhood, his principle, and hi feeliDgs, rather than by and protect them with his man. I for one am in favor of seeing men take honorable positions, like the position first taken by your correspondent.

Ethnic, and then fight for that principle if need be, and not abandon it through fear. Now for the explanations. I want to ask your correspondent Ethnic, in the first place, if, ns he says, that all men have equal rights, why they cannot have that same right here and the right of protection also and want to know if we were to usurp Ihe power of driving Man Rung. A man by tire name of Rus. Iline? was lmr.g on Sunday morniDglast, about eleven miles fust of here, near the Missouri line, by a committee of the citizens of Linn Hines has long been known in this community, as a man of low in-tincts devoid of principle, and has on all occasions, been ready to serve the border ruffians, and pro-slavery men of Missouri.

lie took an active part in the troubles of 56, on ihe side of slavery. In 58 he was the leader of a party who went to Mont- goruervs to assassinate him. Ilewastak- I en pris- uer ir 58 by Montgomery, and his life was spared, only on condition tnat he should at once leave the Territory, and never return, which he promised to do. He ieft the Territory, but subsequently returned however, and has since been engaged in catching negroes and carrying them into Missouri. The severe straggle which our people have had in overcoming, and defeating the slave power in Kansas, has induced in them a spirit of -watchfulness, a jealous regard for liberty, and an abiding hatred of the institution of slavery, and the people of this section of Kansas, at least, have suffered ton much at the hinds of slavery and paid to dear a price foi their free ins' ifutions.

ever to permit one ve-tige of this barbarous institution, to exist upon our soil, and pecially, never to allow thanhunters to pnetice with impunity their unhallowed business here. Regarding.the ensavement of men as unlawful and Wicked, and slavery, a contrary to our civilization, and the hunting of slave ujkhj our soil, not only humiliating and degrading, but from their situation, ns dangerous to their liberties, and a constant sourceof agitation and disturbance, our people have as a mutter of policy, as woll as principle, determined, from the prevent manhunti.ig up on the soil of Kansas. 'To accomplish this end every means to avoid severity hxs been resorted to, an! still, not only slave hunting, but also kidnapping have both been carried on. And the recent invasion of our Territory bv armed bands of negro hunters, and the recent frequent attempt to 8riZ3 and carry negroes into Missouri have driven our citizens to the necessity of some more positive measures than has been heretofore resorted to, to prevent this practice among us. Hence it has become a settled principle here, that every person who engages 'n man bunting, forfeits his life.

And Rus. Ilines having been thus engaged, has paid the forfeit, and was executed by a committee of our citizens on Sundiy raweing last, having hem convicted of negroes and Tying them inta slavery. On Saturd iy last, a committee citizen of Linn Co intv, went to the house of Rus. Ilines, who lived neirthe Missouri line, about thirteen miles from this place for the of arresting Hines, and others suspected, and subjecting them to trial. They approached the house where Hines lived, from the direction of Misson ri, by jrDptlotian gave hjm to 'understand, that they weife a pir of Mi ssou rians negroes, and commenced sounding him, lv a-kin whether they could -Ntance To 0 up the country alter a couplt of rn-groes.

lie replied that he was ready to go at any time, that hunting negroes was bis business, that he had caught them, and tike-n them to Missouri, and that he would do it any time for money and proceeded to tell of two negroes behad zed, end catried fiom the Territory into the State, and spoke com-piainingiy of one case, hrre, after he had taken the negro to Missouii, they cheated him out of part of his money, only giving him five dollars, when the bargain was that he was to have more. lie was vehement in his curses against abolitionists and remarked that some of the leading free state men of Kansas, would soon be disposed of. After having heard his story, they took him along, and to arrest others suspected, and bad each man tell his eto-rv, while laboring under the delusion that he was talking to a band of Missoni ians. After a thorough investigation all were released except Hines, it not appearing that any of them had ever taken an active part in negro hunting, although they at first avowed themseiies ready to assist in it. The friends of Hines were informed that he wauid be suhj cted to a trial the next morning, specifying the time and placo.

The next morning the comrnitteo, with the prisoner, were promptly at the place specified, which was upon the land of Mr. Campbell, and proceeded with the It appeared upon examination, that he had been engaged in the business of negro hunting, that ho held himself in readiness at any time, to seize a negro and cirry him into Missouri for money, and that on one occasion he had carried a negro from Kansas into Missouri, for the paltry sum of five dollars, and tht he had lately been conca tied in piloting armed bands wbo have been secrecy piowling aroun 1 through county in seirch nf negroes, and to commit other dimes. lie wts publicly tried, and hang in open day by tbc public roadside the neighborhood where he had l.ved, oy a committee of citizens of our county. We much depore a condition of things which should require a resort to such summary measures. But we have been obliged to icsort to such measures in disposing of horse thieves, and the same necessity which impelled to that resort, is present in this ease.

A man engaged in a business which disturbs the quiet of our neighborhood, which is disgt aceful to us as a people, und which, when viewed in the light of Christian civilization, is barbarous, and tinful, degrading, inhuman and unnatural a man exerci-ing a license which in ht ultimate results may deprive any man of his liberty, has been ex- ecuted by our citizens, and the world must or copd'-rpo the For we BY virtue of an execution to me directed issued out of the 3rd Judicial District court, sitting within aud for Linn county, K.

Chwforh, -1 lading Post," Obituary. Died in the Doited States of America, on the 6th instant, in the last yeur of her age, Mrs. Democracy, the wife of Ameiican Slavery. After a painful illness, which she bore with uncommon fortitude, her eyes were closed in death, leaving a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her sickness commenced at the time of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, when she was taken with a severe shock of Squatter Sovereignty, and was but partially convalescent, when the same disease, in a more advanced stage, in the form of the Lecompton Constitution again prostrated her energies, rendering her helpless for many months.

The disease became seated, and bnfflid the skill of the most skilled physicians. It assumed a chroma form, and finally terminated in the Nigger phobia. During her last m. ments hei throes were the most painful ever witnessed by the oldest so much so that blndness ensued, and insanity soon followed. A ravmous appetite added to her suffering, which tendedto a constipation of tier bowels of compassion, and severe cutaneous eruption.

She lived to green old age, and left but blighted expectations as a legacy to her children. A Nigger-agun slab marks her last resting place, with this epitaph No resurrection, as she died soulless. Peace to her ashes. Tlie Weather.

15, 1860. Mr. F. Douglas Dear I take the opportunity to address you a few lines as follows I ive been informed that you bad an onely daughter and that you desired her to marry a white man and whertupon you give $15,000 or $20,000 dollars to any respectable whight man that wou'd mairy her and chrris-h her through life.

let me knew and I will marry your daughter on those conditi ons, an! will endeavor to make mvself agreeable. Yours respectfully, Ghas. Happ. To F. Douglas.

Direct to Charles Happ, Auburn, N. Y. Rochesteu, Oct. 17, i860. Chas.

Happ, Sir: You are an entire Btranger to me, and direct me to no one from whom I can learn your true character and responsibility. This, if no other difficulty would seriously embarras me in making a favorable answer to your proposition. You should have at least given me one respectable reference. The fact that you have not done so, with other circumstances connected with your letter, makes it quite doubtful whether I could honorably accoed to your proposition. You date from Auburn, and tell me to direet to you at Auburn, but you do not name the street.

Pardon me for regarding this as a suspicious circumstance. You may be an inmate of the State Prison or on your way there a fact which you see interfere with the fulfilment of your part of the proposed bargain, even if I could fulfil the part you assign me. You want fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. This is a common want, and yon are not to blame for psing all honorable means to obtain it. But candor requires me to state, that if you were in every respect a suitable person toJKJiought, for the purpose you name, xtnve not the amount required to buy you.

I have no objection to your complexion, but there are certain little faults of gram- mar and spelling, as well as other points, your letter, which compel me to regard you as a person, by education, manners and morals, as wholly unfit to associate wilh daughter io any capacity who1- y'a think-your whi.o sk5n of great ac- I dont dispute it; it Douglas county has gone republican with the exception of couuty assossor.
