Kansas Territory.

The N. IL Patriot concludes candid and
sensibly written article upon the first election
in this territory, as follows =
The truth is, the main issue involved in
the Kansas election was the Nebraska ISSUE
The question was whether the people of Kan
sas should send to congress man IN favor of
allowing them to form and regulate their own
domestic affairs, or one who was IN favor of
having congress dictate to them what domestic
Institutions they shall have. This was the
main issue, forced upon them by few aboli-
ton demagogues who had been sent there for
that purpose. These demagogues foolshy
concluded that because majority of the emf
grants, before going there, had been opposed
to the principle of the Nebraska law, they
would continue to oppose 1t when their own
personal interests and rights were at stake
But in this they found themselves mistaken
They found that the great body OF the anti
slavery voters there had come to the conclusion
that they are quite as competent to decide the
slavery question for their own territory, as
congress and other outsiders are; and there
fore they voted to send man to congress who
will express their views upon this subject
And when the time comes for them to elect
members of the legislature, we have no doubt
that they will act just a: senslby, as lndepend-
antly and as consistently as they have now
done. They Will elect men who will estab-
lsh such institutions and make such laws as
the people desire, and as the interests of the
territory demand and no man has the right
to find fault with those laws and institutions
so long as they are not repugnant to the Uni
ted States constitution. That they will de-
eide against slavery and make their fine terri
tory free state, we never have entertained
the least doubt. Nobody scarcel y, except the
opposition demagogues in this state, regards
this election as any indication to the contrary !;
and it is so represented here only for political
effect Even the Boston Atlas, false and hyp-
ocriticaI as it has been upon this subject, adj
mits that this election is of minor import
ance,' and decides nothing as to the question
whether Kansas is to be free territory; while
the Boston Advertiser declares that the cleo
ton is one of no practical importance what
ever and all the more respectable opposition
papers concede that it decides nothing as to
the question Of freedom or slavery, as most of
them admit that no such issue was involved in
the contest"

Whitfield s majority over Flenniken. 1858
over all his competitors 1855. Total vote
1881.
The fusion papers are full Of misrepresenta-
tions in relation TO Gen. Whitfelds election,
making out great story about the Missouri
ans crossing over into Kansas and controlling
the election. This might have been done to
bred votes thrown against Gen. Whitfield, it
is evident the voters Of Missouri did not elect
him. Mr.. Benton in his speech on Kansas
the other day in Congress, said he believed
there was some truth in the charge that Mis-
sourans had attempted TO control the election
as well as that men had been sent from Nel0
England for the same purpose. The truth is,
Gen. Whitfield brought over a large portion
of the New England emigrants to adopt his
political principles; and the principle of the
Nebraska bill has got to be popular in Kan
sas 1t cannot be otherwise, because they
know it allows them to form and regulate
their own domestic affairs and puts an end to
Congressional dictation.
Mr. Benton, in the speech alluded to, takes
the right ground on the admission Of new
states into the Union. The fusionists and
wings, if there are any of the latter, get some
telling truths in this speech they hardly ex-
pecled from " old Bullion We copy as fol-
lows from congressional proceedings 60
Mr.. Oliver, of Missouri, on Monday, in the
house, read short speech for Mr.. Benton by
request. prepared by Mr. Benton before he re-
Gently left the city for the north. In this Mr..
Mace, the other day, gave notice of his lnten-
ton to introduce bill prohibiting slavery in
the territories, the object being to restore to
the house and country the harmony they pos
sessed at the commencement Of last session.
A man, IN Mr.. Benton's opinion, who can &C
compllsh this will be entitled to the character
of public benefactor. He does not think
| Mr.. Mace's resolution will have this effect
but on the contrary will be the cause of en-
barrassment to the object The gentleman
| from Indiana said he would oppose the admis-
sion of any states legalizing slavery. With
regard to the first proposition, Mr. Benton
thinks the only effect will be to disquiet the
settlers in Kansas. At the next session the
necessity for Mr.. Mace's bill will be super
seeded by events. Kansas will apply for adj
mission as a state NolU state as entitled to
admission icith or acithom SldUery, and This is
not By virtue Of any act Of congress or cOnstitu-
lion, bat By a right anterior and superior 10
congress and constitution, the inherent right of
state soUereg nty possessed before The constitution
lcas made, and not Surrendered By the state aOhen
the constitution aoas formed and therefore re-
tanned 6v the states. Add to this treaty right
to the same effect. Kansas is part of former
province of Louisiana, and HIS right, under
the treaty between France and the United
States, to be incorporated into the Union as
soon as it can be done, in accordance with the
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1854-12-28
The State Lands.

The Kennebec Journal is advocating dona-
ton of timber lands, or something else, to
Waterville College. The propriety or policy
of the States donating lands or money to Col
leges and Academies we do not propose in
this connection 10 discuss, but we would call
attention to the fact that the resolve in favor
of Watervile College whose defeat in the last
Legislature the Journal now deplores, was
said to be the scheme of those who were will
ling TO sell their friends for their chance in
the profits of the township to be granted. The
Journal has SO recently taken on the assump-
ton of being the mouthpioce of the organiza-
ton it lately labored against, that it may be
pardoned for It's advocacy of schemes which
have hitherto been the price Of treason to
those at whose feet 1t is now licking the dirt.
bangor Mercury.
There is evidently grand scheme brewing
for princely donations Of the public lands by
the incoming legislature. The high moral
cast Of, 10 say nothing OF the large quantity Of
political religion entering into the composition
Of the legislature, will give TO the humble
supplicants for a slice Of the broad acres Of the
State an irresistible air of not-to-be- refused
righteousness. We hear Of the high claims
upon the state of the new institution about to
be started by the lree-will Baptists--the much
needed lift required by the Methodist Semina-
~ at Kents Hlll-to say nothing of smaller
semnaries to whom half township or less
will be the means of advancing education and
morality, and blessing " nations yet unborn. =
Oh, what happyfying condition will come
to the state and people from the advent of this
new Republican Party!

He is represented as being about six feet

succeeded in making converts TO these sound
principles, may be judged by the official vote
by which he was elected, which is as fol-

! We expected our remarks upon the aboll-
tionism of the Tribune would stir up the ire
of the man who turns the editorial grindstone
| fer that sheet We touched tender spot,
and laid bare the hypocrisy, the falsehood, the
damuing abolition and treason of that hollow
| hearted and reckless sheet Truth will tell,
and as result we have in that paper per-
\ feet contortion of writhing under the lash, ana
an application to us of all the bllllngsgate ana
scoundreI epithets that ever disgraced gam
bling den or dog fight kennel.
We charged that sheet with putting the
tone Of sentiment in this city, towards the
South in false position-with slandering our
Southern brethren-with joining hands with
the enemies of the Constitution and calling it
an agreement with hell. We charged home
upon the culprit treason TO the whig party
and the noble constitutional doctrines of the
noble Clay and Webster-a fawning sycophan-
cy to catch the inter rest and influence of the
know nothings-radicalism dyed deep in the
black and Shiny waters of abolitiOnsm and
Observation-Disclosures black as the ingrattude
displayed towards the South which has al
ways been true to the pledges of the compact
and the Constitution, and magnanimous, as
the prosperity of this city and the wealth of
her citizens can testify-and now, with the
compliments of the prince of abolition in this
State staring the citizens in the face, the Tri-
L. al of adu
an argument 10 disprove our statements, to
add falschood TO falsehood by calling our
charge of abolition false. Not satisfied with
advocating the disunion doctrines of Garrison,
it has tried to haul into abolition the know
nothings, and stands to it that they stand on
the same platform of abolition. And now to
show its snartness, this long TRADE of black
guardsm upon "The Eastern Times" ap-
pears in It's columns to take off attention to its
guilt and trcachery.
The Tribune was once a wing paper-now
we do not know of a real wing in Bath who
does not disown it. 1t has descended to the
level oftraitorism, and there revels, Benedict
Arnold like, in the blackness of the darkness of
its own treachery. 1t has passed under the
editorial control of weekly spoHter Of aboli-
ton epithets-one who disgraces city once
known as true to the Union, by his ISLANDERS
upon the South, and his onslaughts upon the
doctrines Of the Constitution and the Union.
The publisher of the Tribune is a man of
whom we have better opinion than to sup
pose he has voluntarily placed himself in this
postion-he has been made the dupe of the
designing and we think will one day regret
his desertion OF the party for which he has la
bored in former years. He has received many
benefits from those 10 whom the South has
been grAcious-he has fourished upon the
prosperity of our city, and that prosperity has
come of Southern trade and Southern mag
nanimity. How short-sighted to allow him
self to get into an attitude of betrayal of his
friends. He must cast loose soon, from the
pimp of abolition who now disgraces his col
umns, or he will wake up to the dismay of
his condition ere long.

For the Eastern Times,


Mr.. EDITOR Can you inform your read
ers whether the worthy Principal of our High
School RECALLED the boarders at the 'Sagada-
hock'' with the reading aloud at the breakfast
table, Of his able editorial in Saturdays Tri-
bune or whether he intended it as a model
for his class in composition, in the tl01a'iShlng
() institution under his care Certainly so
much billingsgate and low scurrility-
familiarity with pot-house slang-such perfect
command of the gutter vernacular, could pro-
coed from no man Of ordinary calibre; and
the mind which can successfully get through
with such an effort without damage, must be
highly gifted and eminently qualified to mould
the characters of our children, and to beget in
them love of the beautiful, and healthy ex-
ercise of the gentlest affections, The people
of Bath are ignorant, perhaps, Of the signal
blessing they enjoy in having this great lumi-
nary among them, who is laboring with tongue,
pen and ferule, for the enlightenment and ele-
walton of all classes. The school, we are told,
affords brilliant illustration Of his success in
that department; while the columns of the
Tribune and the choice disciplinary lectures
to his scholars, preclude all doubt Of his abili-
ty to command language exactly expressive Of
the peculiarly refined state Of his mind. Long
life to the "schoastico' editor. The days OF
darkness are numbered-the light Of the sold
Bay State is shed down upon US, reflected
as clearly through her illustriou8 son as from
a plate of FURNISHED sole-leather.

HUMANITY IN THE CITY-By Rev. +. Il.
Chaplin. Price ST. De WITT & DAvEN-
PORT, Publishers, New York
This eminent divine, whose popularity is SO
well known in all parts of the Union, and who
speaks and writes with equal force. has pre-
pared series of Discourses on CRY LIFE,
which, for brilIiancy Of description, chasteness
OF language, and above all, for moral and
Christian purpose, is fully equal to anything
OF the kind with which we are conversant.
The discourses are upon-The Lessons of
the Street,-Man and Machinery,-The Strife
for Precedence, -The Symbols Of the Repub-
lic,-The Springs of Social Life,-The AL
lies Of the Tempter, The Children Of the
Poor,--The Help of Religion.
The streets Of New York city furnish a
theme, rich in example, of which we will give
a specimen, though, where all is SO excellent,
it is difficult to make selection -
ss In the street, however, not only do we be-
hold these different degrees of civilization, but
those problems of diversity, which the highest
form of existing civilization develops-the d.
versties of extreme poverty and extreme
wealth, for instance. Here sits the beggar.
sick and pinched with cold and there goes a
man with no better flesh and blood, and no
more authentic charter of soul, wrapped in
comfort, and actually boated with luxury.
There issues the whine of distress, beside the
glittering carriage-wheels There, amidst the
rush of gaiety; the busy, selfish whirl half
naked, shivering, with her bare feet on the lev
pavement, stands the little girl, with the shad-
Ow of an experience upon her that has made
her preternaturally old, and it may be, driven
the angel from her face. Still, we cannot be-
ieve that above the wintry heaven which
stretches over her, there is less regard for the
poor, neglected child, than for that rosy belt
of infant happiness which girdles and gladdens
ten thousand hearths.
And here, too, through the brilliant street,
and the broad light Of day, walks Purity, en-
shrined in the loveIiest form of womanhOod.
And along that same street by night, attended
by fitting shadows, strolls womanhood dis
crowned, clothed with painted shame, yet,
even in the springs of that guilty heart not ut
terly quenched We render just homage to
the one, we pour scorn upon the other; but
could we trace back the lines of circumstance,
and inquire why the one stands guarded with
such sweet respect, and why the other has
fallen, we might raise problems with which
we cannot tax Providence, which we may not
lay altogether to the charge Of the condemned,
but for which we might challenge an answer
from society,""
We think our friends will agree that the
above specimen is well worthy Of the theme,
and the man. But we can give only a feeble
idea Of the beauty Of the whole from this ex-
tract, which breathes also most christian
and philanthropic spirit. For sale at Stearns'

was entered by thief while the family were
at church, and he was discovered in the act of
searching the drawers, by little son Of Mr..
b., who returned home before service was ont.
The rogue threatened the boys life if he didn'

ShipbuiIders' Bank at Rockland.

The last Rockland Gazette has an article
which represents this Bank 10 be in a very
bad condition. The bills are not redeemed by
the Bank, and they have been selling in some
instances for twenty-five cents on the dollar
Several suits are about to be brought by the
bill holders, and the property Of stockholders
attached. The Gazette adds 8
"We have heard (and there is but little
doubt that such is the case.) that there has
been an over-issue Of the bills to an unknown
amount, which Of course cannot be ascertalned
at present. The state of affairs already shows
great blame oInewhere-where, we don't
pretend to say. To many among US there IS
evidence Of actual and intended fraud. Id
all, at least where this does not appear, there
is evidence Of neglect or carelessness, justly
reprovable. Whatever the cause of the diff
culties may have been, it seems strange that
so serious state Of the Bank affairs should
have existed without an earlier discovery"
A meeting of the stockholders has been
called TO hear report Of the Directors touch
ing the present condition of the Bank, and &c
adopt such measures as shall by them be
deemed expedient.
The Portland Advertiser learns that the
Governor has ordered the Bank Commissioner
to examine into the affairs Of this Bank, forth
with, and we shall doubtless have in few
DAYS true statement Of affairs.
