THE oSTEND AFFAIR AND MR.. BUCHANAN
STRANGE RUMORS.

We have no doubt that by this time Messrs.
Buchanan and Mason wish they could blot out
the memory of the Ostend affair. We hear ru-
mors from London that the position of Mr.. Blu
chanan is not an enviable one-that by honest
men he is rather avoided, as gentleman
Of doubtful reputation. 1t is further rumored
that the project of the Ostend Conference was
distasteful to Mr.. B.; that he demonstrated
against it to the Administration, but was at last
over-ruled, and took part in it reluctantly; that
he drew up and urged a programme very diff.
ferent from that insisted upon by Mr.. Soule,
and held on to it, against all opposition, for at
least two days.
From the same source whence spring these
rumors, we have a report concerning certain
private correspondence abroad, in relation to
singular arrangements with French refugees,
Cuban liberators, Spanish Red Republicans,
and American filibusters, for the seizure of
Cuba, and for securing the next incumbent of
the Presidential Chair in this country.
We have no doubt that the busy brains of
Of Sanders, Sickles, & Co., have been fertile in
all sorts of projects and contrivances to make
the Government of the United States univer-
sal mischiefmaker.

COL. KINNEY AND HIS ENTERPRISES.

The Colonel has hard time of it. His ia
nous Costa Rica or Central America expedi.
ton, at first so warmly approved by the hntelh
gencer and Union, and which came very near
obtaining the sanction of Mr.. Marcy, turned out
in the estimation of General Concha to be a
fibustering affair, really destined for Cuba, and
the explosion there, seems to have blown the
enterprise here sky-high.
Since then, the indefatigable Colonel has
gathered together his scattered forces, with q
view of proceeding to Nicaragua, to settle there
peaceful colony. The authorities at Washing.
ton, however, appear to have obtained informa-
ton concerning the nature Of the expedition,
not published in the newspapers, for they have
bounced upon it as no better than flibuster.
ing concern. On an indictment by the Grand
Jury at New York, charging sundry lawless
acts and intentions upon the Colonel, he has
been arrested, and required by Judge Hall, OF
the District Court, to give the recognizance OF
himself and two sureties, in the sum of ten
thousand dollars, to appear and answer. The
Colonel is hopeful, and thinks he can clear all
matters up to the satisfaction of the Court.
With such men as Sanders and Quitman
and Henderson and the Cuban Junta, plotting
all the while, and with such adventures as
Kinney and Walker, the Administration can
not be too vigiant.

SLAVERY AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY.

A few of the Shareholders of Jefferson coun-
ty, Kentucky, held meeting on the 18th ult.,
to express their opinion Of the conduct Of the
Ohio Courts in the late slave cases in that State.
Parson Dennison was praised, Marshal Robin
son commended, Ohio generally denounced. 1t
was resolved that :" the right of transit through
the free States with our slaves is perfect under
the Constitution of the United States"
Sympathetic meetings are invoked in all the
counties are pledged the Legis-
lature is to be called upon to pay Mr.. Denni-
sons expenses, and whatever other expenses
may arise in maintaining the rights of Ken
tucky-and lives and sacred honor are invested
in the enterprise of Jogging Ohio into submis-
sion, if necessary.
A citizen of Louisville, Kentucky, writing to
us about the meeting, remarks:
"The Pro-Slavery hotheads have gone too
farther conduct is ridiculed numerically.
There will be no response to their silly resolves
from the rest of the State, and the only practi-
cal result of the meeting viii be to make its
projectors public laughing stock. Kentuck-
ians generally are not fools, and are competent
to form their own opinions"
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-05-03

Ia In previous numbers of the Era we
have been preparing the way for the practical
recommendations contained in the following
article. 1t is somewhat long, but we hope
every one interested in the success of our
cause will read it, and make up his mind as to
the measure suggested. Politicians are already
laying their plans for the Presidency. The
campaign will be opened next spring. We,
who hold Slavery TO be the paramount Cues
ton, cannot too soon understand each other,
and agree upon our probable course. 1t is now
obvious tAa the Old Line Democracy and
Know Nothngism viii be in the field with
their respective candidates, occupying Com
promise ground, SO that our duty and policy
would seem to be plain enough. The notion
that Know Nothingism may present candi-
date sound on the great Question, is idle and
mischievous, and, were such miracle to take
place, how could we be expected to support by
our votes, the policy of Native Americanism,
Prescription, and Secret Oath-bound Political
Associations7
We are thrown back on the measure of an
independent nomination for the Presidency, on
the distinct issues involved on the Slavery
Question. As in carrying out this policy we
cannot unite with the Wing, Democratic, or
Know Nothing Organization, those of our
friends connected with such, must throw off
the obligation of Parties, which do not en-
brace the Slavery Question, or there can be no
united action for Freedom in 1856. They
have alright to remain where they are, but
they must not expect US to join them. We
have a right to vote directly and independently
for Freedom, and we shall do it, regretting the
cause that divides its supporters, but acquitted
of all responsibility for it.

whose name is to be forwarded TO the President
for appointment" M
This is a sample of the tactics Of bullying
adopted by the barbarians. They have sup
pressed the people of Kansas, deposed the Gov
ernor, and now they attempt to overawe the
President.
One of the Kansas newspapers hopes the
President viii send United States troops into
the Territory, to protect the inhabitants in the
exercise of the right of suffrage 1t may think
that as the President bombarded Greytown for
en- offence committed by its semicivilized mob,
not half so great as that committed by the Mis-
souri, barbarians, he may be as prompt and
courageous invindicating the rights of American
citizens in Kansas. Possibly he may, but we
doubt it. Jefferson Davis, one of the most
truculent of the Order of Slavery Propaganda,
is at the head of the War Department, and he
will stubbornly resist any movement designed
to prevent the success of the savage foray on
Kansas. There is better way. "Who would
be free themselves must strike the blow" The
real settlers in Kansas should rely upon them
selves for protection. Every day adds to their
numbers. Let them enrol themselves in vol
unteer companies, place themselves under the
order of the Governor, and at the next cleo
ton be prepared at the ballotbox to defend
their franchise by the only arguments the in
yading barbarians can understand. The peo-
pie of st. Louis would not hesitate to protect
themselves against an Eruption Of black-legs
from Illinois, who might wish to obtain the
control of their municipal government. The
time will soon come, if we mistake not, when
the hardy pioneers of Kansas will deal with the
filibusters from Western Missouri as they de-
serve.

THE DECISION OF GOVERNOR REEDER.

The elections in Council Districts /, 2, and
10, and in Representative Districts 4, Z, and
IL, have been set aside by Governor Reeder,
and new elections ordered. Those in Repre-
sentative Districts 8 and II, and in Council
District 3, are held under advisement. In
other districts, the elections were VIGOROUSLY
fraudulent, but the Judges having resigned,
hastily, dishonesty, or through timidity, without
entering the required protest, the results arc
held to be legall
For these facts we are indebted to the Free
State.
