Authentic Intelligence with Regard &c
KansaA Territory.

The communication under the head
of " Kansas Territory" sets forth the re.
suit of the writer's personal obserYa-
lions 1t is from the pen of DR., d. o.
Williams, of this country, whose reputa.
ton as q shrewd, intelligent, reliable,
and eminently practical man, extends
over the State. He is one of our larg-
est shareholders, and is thus prompted
both by principle and by considerations
Of self'intcrost to feel lively concern in
whatever relates to the future of the
South. We make thus FREQ with his
name, because his observations are of
sufficient public Importance to Justify it,
While he would object to seeing it par.
AIDED before the public without cause, we
do not believe he would desire it to be
withheld when necessary to give force
and command respect for important
facts.
1t will be seen that DR.. Williams
states that Kansas is secure for the
South beyond all contingencies.
There remains" says be, no doubt
but that Kansas has already made be.
ginning which ensures it slave State"
The climate, soil and productions of the
Territory are eminently adapted to
slavery, aud the Shareholders of Missou-
ri and tho adjoining States arc taking,
or have taken, the necessary steps to fix
its condition.
Our readers will recollect the facts
relating to Kansas, which We spread be.
fore them few weeks since, derived
from various sources, and that we con-
cluded an article on the subject with this
language -" Our firm belief is that il
the Southern people will be as true to
themselves as their representatives in
Congress have been, or as the northern
democrats, who, in tho late struggle, de.
fed the storm of fanaticism and tore
away the antislavery restriction Of thir
ty-four years standing-slavery will exist
permanently in Kansas, aud before many
years her influence will be felt in the res
toration of the equilibrium between the
North and South in the federal Legisla-
turc." This opinion is now confirmed
into as absolute a certainty as anything
in the future can be Tho repeal of the

prohibit slavery in the Tcrritories-and

9tatistics Of Crime.

A distinguished English gentleman
who has spent many years as a resident.
or a. traveller in various Papal coun.
tries in Europe, has presented somo deep.
ly interesting facts concerning vice and
crime in Papal and Protestant countries
He possessed himself of the government
returns of every Romanist state on the
continent, and therefore his statictics do
not rest on his Protestant prejudiccs
Tbs BostonTravell0r thus condeuses his
results:
In England four persons for million.
on the average, arc committed for mur.
der per year. In Ireland there are
nineteen to the million. In Belgium, q
Catholic country. there are eighteen
murders to the million. In France there
are thirty.one. Passing into Austria
we find thirty'six. In Bavaria, also
Catholic, si1ty-eight to the million OIL
if homicides are struck out there will be
thirty Going into Italy, where Catholic
influence is the strongest of any country
on esrth and taking frat tho kingdom OF
Sardinia, We find twenty murders to the
willion. in the Venetian and Milanes,
provinces there is the enormous result O
forty-ive to the million. In Tuscany
forty-two, though the land is claimed a
kind Of earthly paradise; and in th,
Papa Statos, no, less than one hundred
murders for .he million of people. Tier,
are ninety in Sicily; and in Naples til,
result is more appalling stll, where pub
lie documents show there are two hun
dred murders per year to the million o
people
The Above facts all are drawn from
the civil and cir insl records of the re
rpeetive countries named. Now takin,
the whole Of the countries together, W
have seventy-6ye cases Of murder TO
every million Of people In Protestan
countries, England, for example, We hav
but four for every million.

The Sandwich Islands.

There are confident reports that the
government of the Sandwich Islands
is about to make treaty of annexa>
ton with Mr.. Gregg, the U. S. Com
missioner at Hawaii, and that the only
question Of difference is, whether the
groupe shall come in as a territory or
State 1t is also stated that our ad.
ministration are perfectly aware Of
these proceedings that the King of
Hawaii is in favor of the measure, and
his people opposed to it. TO all this
we would reply that, if the Sandwich
ers were the only persons concerned
in this business along with us,we would
lean to tho belief that we should soon
Sandwich them. But it will not do at
all to leave France out of that ques-
ton ; for France at this moment has
taken the high-handed place of Eng
land in all our neighborhoods-the lat
ter holding aloof for her own purposes,
just now. France stands as watch
fully at Honolulu as at the Havana,
and We can do nothing in either place
without being interpcllated by that
naughty power. Of this we may be
sure. England and France, indeed,
have agreed to watch overHawaii and
its puppet King; and the late protest
of the French Consul at that place
against the well-meaning insidiousness
of Gregg and the other Americans,
shows what obstacles are likely to lie
in the way of annexation, The fact
is, we are sceptical on that subject.
We do not believe we shall annex
anything this long time-except, per-
haps, little bits of Mexico purchased
occasionally, to oblige our friend San
ia Anna. We are not in condition
to annex islands in the face of Euro
pean coalitions and alliances. We do

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIRS

the agricultural interests of the coun-
try are in a healthy condition. Fiji
teen State fairs, including one at Que.

at Springfield, Ohio, are advertised to
be held in the months of September
and October. Illinois and Kentucky
open the game on the 18th of Septem.
Der; Vermont and Ohio follow on tho
18th and 18th and Pennsylvania and

State fairs are summoned for the first
week in October, viz, those of Mis-
souri,, Now York, New Hampshire,
Maryland, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
When they end, Connecticut takes up

to Gil the vacancy of Lieut.. Governor,
occasioned by the declination of Hon.

veutions were called at Montpelier about
the time of the doclination of Mr..
Shaftor,and the undersigned were unani.
nous in the opinion, that inasmuch as the
principle of nominating a Freesoilor for
Lieut.. Governor had been adopted by
the Wing State Convention, we ought to
carry out that policy, but that we would
wait for the nomination at Montpelier
on tho 18th inst, and then adopt that
nomination with the expectation that
Judge Royce would be nominated at
the Mass Conventional Governor. But
in that we were disappointed, and since
that time We have been corresponding
with each other in relation to filling the
vacancy of Lieut.. Governor, and not.
withstanding the rejection Of Judge
Royce, We still adhere to our former
views and policy consequently VIC sub
stitute the name of General RYLANp

Shaftcr, and leave the question for the
people to settle at the polls, whether the
great and desirable demonstration shall
be given to the propagandists ofSlavcry,

ROYCE, FLETCHER aud BATES, or. by
division. as TO men, suffer the shame and
disgrace of defeat of an election by
