Kansas ana Nebraska Emigration movements
The Congressional Free sOu society Che
south and the Administration.
The repeal Of the Missouri compromise will
probably result in the application for admission
Of two additional States into the Union before
the expiration of the next Congress, which 9th
erwise might have been doomed to remain in
the monotOnous condition of Territories for
twenty years to come. We refer to Kansas aud
Nebraska. The documents and newspaper ex-
tracts which we publish to-day, upon the emf
grafton question, and the practical application
Of the law of squatter sovereignty in Kan
sas, at all events, will warrant the prediction
that, from the spirit with which the work of
colonization has been commenced in that Terri
tory the people thereof will rise to the exercise
of the functions of an embryo State before our
next Presidential election.
The most iveGesting Of the articles which we
publish on this subject to day, are the explana-
tory letter, and the constitution and bylaws
of the Congressional free soil "Unon Emil
grafton Society,"" established at Washingto,
This letter and these papers were communica. d
by member Of Congress TO the Chicago Daly
Tribune from which we copy them. They
were probably sent to Chicago with the view
of regular home thrust at Judge Douglas 10
his own bailiwick; but, for all that we know,
the author, with his compliments, may have
the aforesaid constitution and bylaws to the
New Hampshire Legislature and to the Society
of the Sachems of Tammany Hall. II not,
they have been strangely neglected.
This Congressional free soil joint stock

politicians of extreme opinions of which we
have any recollection. 1t beats the Buffalo
platform-it eclipses The last Baltimore Demo.
cratic Convention it Is almost equal In its
violent contrasts of color, 10 that precious piece
of political mosaic known as the Cabinet of
General Pierce. John 2. Goodrich, free soil
wbig member from Massachusetts,, is PIE ,ident:
and Francis p. Blair and Truman Smith ara
conspicuous among the directors. II is tn
same Blair who in the palmy days OF the great
General Jackson and the little Van Buren,.
welded 80 forcibly the trenchant battle-axe OF
the administration and the national democracy
ar the editor of the Washington Globe ii il the
same Blair who was the armor bearer OF OLD
Hickory against Blddle and his bauk, Henry Clay
and his American system, and the universal whlg
party. How strange are the vicissitudes of poll
ties and the sircumgyratioas Of supersnnuatei
spoil men! This Francis r. Blair, who for 30 many
years was the terror Of party traitors add mi
tineers, the idol OF the invincible uem ,cracy
and the principal recipient Of the sp ills Of H.,
repeated victories, we end now consort NC Of.
