We hardly need ask attention to the documents
respecting Slavery in Kansas which we publish in
this paper. They consist of a detailed account of a
meeting at lndep ndenec Mo, of the resolutions OF
another meeting held in La Fayettc County OF that
State and finally of the letter of resident in Kansas,
who narrs.cs the means taken by the shareholders
with the help of officials of the Federal Government
to fcrestall the free immigrants who may come to
settle in the Territory 1t is plain from the whole
proceedings of these important meetings as well as
from the letter, that if Kansas is to be made Free IL
must be done immediately. Let the twenty Thousand
emigrants sent forward by the Emgrant Ala society
lose no time in getting there Apparently the pres
ent season will decide whether Slavery is to have
a permanent foothold there or not

AFFAIRS OF DENMARK-PROSPECT OF ANsTHEI
CoPESHAoEN.--The memory of the unjustifable
destruction Of the Danish feet by Lord Nelson
at Copenhagen rankles still in the Danish mind,
and matters in that kingdom are taking a rather
serious turn. The refusal Of the Danes to SUD-
ply Sir Charles Napier with pilots will be recol-
lected by every one: the King now positively
refuses to allow any portion Of the allied feet
to winter in his harbors By way Of strength
:ening himself, he has abolished the House of
Representatives, in which the Western Powers
bad many friends, and has chalked out quiet
little constitution for the monarchy somewhat
on Louis Napoleon's plan. The people seem
quiet under the change, no doubt awaiting the
advent Of scenes which can hardly be far dis
tant. Englishmen defend the battle Of Copen-
hagen on the ground that il Nelson had not
destroyed the Danish feet, Napoleon would
have seized and used it for his purposes; the
same reasoning would justify similar tactics at
present, as the danger OF Nicholas establishing
himself at Denmark is quite as great as. the
danger of Napoleon taking the old feet. We
think 1t by no means unlikely that the present
domestic crisis in Denmark may be used by the
allied Admirals as pretext for Interference in
the affairs Of the kingdom.

GENERAL ScoTT IN THE FIELD PoR THE PRE-
sFpnScY.-The rumor that General Scott Is
again to be brought forward ia conjunction
with Bell of Tennessee as candidates at the
coming Presidential election gaias ground and
deserved atentien. With General Scott's me-
rits - demerits the American public have
long been familiar. Nothing could now be
said that would improve or extend their know
ledge Of his character or appreciation Of his
abilities. The only change time has wrought
in him since he came before the people
rs candidate for the highest office in their gift
has been an increase of wisdom from the teach
ings Of misfortune. In other respects, Winfield
Scott is still what he was-the hero OF our
army, and one of the noblest Of our veterans.
We express no opinion as to his qualifications
for the Office of President but looking back
on the past, and rejecting upon the immense
majority Of citizens who opposed him and sup
ported Mr.. Pierce in 1852 remembering like
wise what bright hopes were aroused by the
promises of the latter, and how ungratefully
the services Of the former were forgotten, we
can we'll understand how thousands among US
should seek to repair the wrong inflicted upon
Scott by Offering him now the rank he sought
two years ago. 1t does seem utterly neon
prehensible that we should all have turned our
backs on the gallant old soldier to espouse the
cause of the reckless political adventurer
who now sits in the Presidential chair. The
former had 60 much, the latter so little to re-
commend him. The one, we may be sure,
would as President have sustained the charac-
ter he has borne as citizen; the other has de-
graded the Office to such point that 1t is ques-
tionable whether an honest man could succeed
him without scruple. Altogether the desire to
repair the injustice done to General Scott in
1852 is very natural one; and we dare say
some active steps will be taken before long to
carry the intention into effect.

The RAILROAD CONvENTIoN-FREE PAssEs.--
The Railroad Convention which met in this
city on the 18th instant, unanimously adopted
the following resolution -

city on the 18th instant, unanimously adopted
the following resolution -
Resolved That it is the Of this convention tina.
al free passes should be abolished and that the presi
correspond with other railroad companies, with view
TO effect this object at the earliest period and that here
after no annual passes shall be given by the companies
here represented.
This halfway measure proves that the story
Of mismanagement on these railroads has not
yet been told. II is plain that the members of
the convention desired to cut off the free
passes, and do away with the odious s'dead-
head" system altogether; but they do not dare
to take such step at present. They fear that
the large number Of editors, freight forwarders,
runners, express conductors and others, whose
pens and mouths have been stopped by courte-
sizes, so called, will tell the truth when
their free passes are discontinued. We
have always opposed the system of free
passes, for various reasons. In the first
place, the giving Of free pass to an edi-
tor, reporter, or anybody else, is robbery Of
the shareholders taking great deal Of money
out Of their pockets every year. The reason is
equally good with regard to presidents and Oh
rectors Of other railroads. Dry goods mer-
chants are not in the habit of presenting others
in the trade with specimens of their goods, nei-
ther do gr0cers send chests Of tea OF boxes of
sugar to editors, OF to their neighbours who hap
pen to be in the same business that they pur-
sue. Why, then, should railway shareholders be
obliged to submit to such tax? In the case of
journalists the public frequently suffer. The
worst lines are the most liberal with their
favors, and many persons connected with
small city and country papers are willing
to wink at Encouragement and extortion
for the petty consideration Of a free pass.
In this manner many travellers are deceived,
when if no outside influences were brought to
bear on the press, the faults in the management
Of the miscalled liberal corporation might be
exposed. At any rate, we should have no more
puffs for commodious seats, ice-water in the
cars, gentlemanly conductors, able firemen,
vigorous trakemen, magnificent steamboat cap
ta:as, or gentlemanly clerks, things which
should be matters Of course.
We trust that such system will be intro
duced In all public conveyances that some need
ed reforms may be adopted. Then there will
be no necessity for any increase in the rates of
fare or freight, and directors may sleep quietly
after decapitating all the dcad-heads, and cut
ting of all the free passes.
