lative Jo Cuba Jind slavery. We publish
, cdr on Tuesday, an account of the satisfac
tory proceedings of the" Spanish Cortes,
andifiow present the executive directions to
ths Captain General of Cuba. All sensi
ble ferrd honest men will at once declare
that "wehave no cause to complain of
Spain, in regard to the institution of slave

the subject. ,

VERY FORGETFUL, f
Our neighbor of the Journal remember
ed to tell "the people that the late disturb
ance in Cincinnati was not a contest be
tween Americans and Foreigners ; but now
that everybody knows that such was the
nature of the contest, ia so very forgetful
as not to mention it. Let your readers
know, the truth for once, in despite of 'party
ties. However indignant your political as
sociates may be if you should dare to do
so, v. e think you could gather strength to
bear the weight of a small sample of that
article, so very, rare and scarce in political

' POPULAR eorEREIGNTf . I5KAKSAS
The Kansas election which baa been re
ported 1y telegraph as having resulted in
the election ot an entire pro-slavery Legis
lature, seems to have been rather peculiar
in its character. We lately gave the census
returns of the number of voters in the vari
ous districts, from which it appeared that in
the first, or Lawrence district, settled entire
ly by New' Englanders. there were about
300 voters. ' A telegraphic" despatch from
Kansas to tha St. Louis Republican gives
the following returns of the election in thai
and other districts:
' "Kansas, March 319 P. M
. ,: Pro-slavery ticket triumphant as far as
heard from. Total vote : Lawrence. 778 to-
255; Tecnmseh. 266 to 34 Douglas. 330 to
6: Doniphan. 320 to 25 i Sbawnee Mission
40 to J6; Leavenworth. 899 to 60 ; Hickory
Point. Z63 to b. infection passed on quietly
and wan very little uisiuroance."
As an explanation of how this marvellous
change was wrought, the Republican gives
the following telegraphic despatch from West
ern Missouri: .
" Ik dependence. March 31 9 P. M.-
l-fceverul hundred returning emigrants
rrom Kansas have just entered our cilv
They were preceded by the We6iport and
Independence brass hands. Tliev- came in
at t!ie west side of the public square and
proceeded entirely around it, the bands cheer
ing us with nne music and the t migrants with
good news, Immediately Ibllowing- the bands
were about two hundred imrtmeii in reruar
order; following there were oim hurtdredand
fiiiv wagons, carnages, etc. They trave re.
peated cheers lor K'uisua h nd Missouri. They
report that not nn anti-tdavery man will be
in the Legislature ol Kansas. We have
made a ch an sweep."
This procrsoion must have contained about
a thousand men. who had jrone to Kansas for
the sole purpose of votjng, and having elTec
ted this by dint ol force, returned to their
Mi osouri homes with a great flourish of trum
pets. . Such is the popular sovereignty pro
vided by the Nebraska bill a sovereignty ol
non resident outlaws. Let us see what will
be the effect of this.
The above accounts and remarks ae from
the Philadelphia American. . We have not
the bill before us. but. of course, the imposi
tion on the ballot-box arises from a deficien
cy of the law. Put if any man nan vote the
moment he becomes a squatter," or resident,
ihe far t does not warrant the condort ot the
Missourian, who openly violated the princi
ples upon which republican freedom is based,
simply because the law was inoperative in
the case. They (bus intimated that they
would not have acted wickedly, if the law
could have prevented them. They assumed
a false ground, because they were neither
" squatters' nor settlers, in which character
they voted, but persons a ho-had uo riglit
whatever to vote in Kansas, any more than
the ciu'zens ol the latter place had lo vote
within the precincts of Missouii. It was an
outrageous ailuir, and it is a pity the parties
cannot be puniehed in some legal way. or. ni
any rate, be prevented from a repetition of
tfie infringement.
SHOT THROUGH. TUB BRAIN.
We copy the following from nn exchange
paper : .
'A post-mortem examination, made nn the
body of Count Ziegenhorn, who cominitied
suicide in Albany. N. Y- on last Thursday,
on account of unrequited love, disc osed the
fact that the. ball which he discharged at his
head, entered at the right n'de, parsed entire
ly through the br.iin and etrink against the
fckull on !he left side, when its force being
spent-it sauk down two or three inches.
Still life was not extinct fr eighteen hours
afterwards."
We should he inclined to doubt tho above,
were it not sustained by an incident which
passed under our own observation. A Bri
tish soldier was wounded, probably by o
piece of bomb-shell, which took off a part of
the top of the head. This was at Ihe as
sault on Fort Erie, in the war with Great
Britain ol 1812. and the campaign of 1S14.

print, Colk, Sit., now taking in cir'o for N. Yoik,
and insisted noti helping to load tho' vessel.
They were remonstrated with by the mate of the
Surprise, and told their assistance was not seeded.
Stiil ieristii g, however, an effort was inade to
ject them, when a general row ensued. Cap!.

congregation were. rising from prayer. "La!"
.said ihe, curtseying, '-don't get up ou my account."
It ia the opinion of the doctor that the
