NEW YORK, NAY 27. e £.X.
Some of the clouds which ushered in the film et

our new administration have begun to
First of all, the app intment of Senator W to
the governorship of Kansas was a pre-eminently &s-
-meet and fortunate measure. The choice has been
applauded by the nation, partly because of the well-
IMOWTI ability of the man, but mainly became he had
in straightforward terms declared that Kansas was
"dearly destined to be a free state." All disturbances
la Harass ceased with the announcement of Mr.
Walsh appointment, nor is it entieipated that any
mare serious collisions will take place. It is supposed
cm MI ides that the number of free state voters now in
Hanna exceeds 16,000, and is increasing by'
hundreds every day, while the whole number of
=ex, settlers deem not reach 3,000. That
will sums into the Union a free state is now
no longer doubted in any quarter. Slavery made its
life end death struggle there, and freedom achieved
the victory. But it was done at an enormous sacrifice.
Governor Geary, who lately returned from the
territory, told me, not many days ago, that in spite
of all that had been published on the subject, no mat
at a distance could form any adequate conception of
the scenes of violence and suffering that had take*
place there. "It has been," said he, " literally
Bleeding Kansas."
Utah, another territory, is likely to give us mom
trouble. We have the anomaly of the age to deal
with there—Mormonism—the strangest form of
.

heatismint that has ever been hand jawing up in
the nsigkbenrhood of civilisation. The Menem are

seal der their loathsome faith, and entirely *abject
k all things to the will of their leader, Brigham
Young. Mr. Buchanan has not been long in
corning to the conclusion that if the authority of the
republic is ever to be asserted over the territory the
time has come. Oue of the ablest military men in
the country will be sent there, and an effective force
is to be placed at his disposal. It is not delinitively
known that Major M'Cullough will weapt the
appointment, but some able man will be seat them,
and it is clearly understood that tie President will
give him all the troops be requires. It may and
Probably will be a bloody business, but as the contest
is inevitable the sooner it comes the better. Oar
laws do not interfere with men's religious aside;
but our laws.punish polygamy, and the fool epic=
there must and will be broken up. Those who have
understood the matter best from the beginning have,
however, no hesitation in expreming the opinion
that the establishment of law and order and the
abolition of polygamy in Utah will cast the govern-
ment of the United States one of the most serious
straggles in which it has ever been engaged.
We have no later news from Walker. The coat-

moss belief v that hu career is over. Bat his friends
in New York enured me yesterday that he will
long before now have received ecient aid from
California, and that they confidently expect good
news from him by the first arrival. It is believed
that our government is preparing to send a consider-
able naval force to Ore) town to look after our late-
rens there. At all evade, it is fully decided at
Washington to keep all the Isthmus routes open for
the commerce of the world. That this decision has
been definitively made and neenned in by every
member of the government I absolutely know to be
true. It is not believed that this will excite any
jealousy in Great Britain, or give any cause for the
slightest uneasiness among the friends of peace.
