The Collins Line Appropriation Cor
ruption Of Congress.

The New York Tribunc, in the course
of a strong article dcnouncing the passage
by Congress, ola law giving to the Collins
Limo an Immense JonuS from the public
treasury forcibly says:
NOW, if Congress had thrown away
this vast sum in freak of generosity or
folly we might have regretted the waste
of money, but we should not be called to
deplore still more grave calamity. The
evil in this case is, that Congress was not
doludcd-it YVES corrupted. Where the
the money came from we do not legally
know-we can only give Yankee guess
but that this money passed this bill-mon-
ey not merely expended on borers and
whecdlers, and the usual oystcr-ccllar ap-
plianccs of lobby lcgislation-but money
counted down into the palms of members
of Congress themsclves--this is as clear
as the noon-day sun. Members who but
few months age were breathing out
thrcatenings and slaughter against the Col
Inns job, have now spoken, cauvassed and
voted for the still more extravagant provi-
sions of the bill of this session.
x 4 X r X X
'Gt gives us no pleasure to speak of
these things. We would gladly bury them
in oblivion, but for the certainty that the
fearful precedent established in this case
will work immcasurable Generalization in
the national councils, and woe to the
American people. When members of Con-
gress are bought and sold like horses at
Tatteral's, or secondhand furniture in
Chatham-street, the maria of corruption
will soon infect the whole atmosphere of
the metropolis; spectators will lay their
plans for getting millions out of the treasu-
ry, and will cody calculate the amount re-
quiSitc to buy their bill through the two
Houses. Then any affcctation of virtue
on the part of members whose votes are to
be had, will only necessiate an addition to
the aggregate to be stolen, and no member
can vote for evena good measure, by which
individuals arc to be benefited, without
subjecting himself to some taunt of the
universal rottenness. Men and brcathren!

Who does not applaud the President for
vctoing this corrupt project?

g7=The "Banner" is fearful ii went lit
tie to far, in dcnouncing the American Rat
ification Meeting in advance. 1t warned
pro-slavery men not TO attend, and by
Juggling in the "niggor question hoped
TO Brighten some timid souls. In speaking
of the meeting as having been gotten up
without any extra rallying or newspaper
putting we said call was issued in only
some paper" at which the Banner" com
plains and says:
CAT the request OF one of the fathful,we amour
ced the fact, through the columns of The Banners
we have five hundred subscribers in Howard Coun-
ty, and we feel confident that every one Of them
will say, that we announced the meeting, in res
pecifuL manner"
We overlooked the fact Of the announce
ment, and consequently the "respecituI man.
ner." But we did observe a very diarcs.
pectful allusion TO the meeting, in its last is
sue before the meeting took place, for which
however, the Banner" seems now to re
pent. We make the correction, and not
the repentance.

Democracy in Kansas.

They are agitating the subject Of organi-
zing the Democratic Party in Kansas Ter
ritory. There is pretty strong party in
favor of the organization, headed by new
paper recently started at Leavenworth City.
The majority of the people, however, judy
ing from the tone of the press, and speakers,
are opposed, and wish to keep the whole
people united, as Southern party. A
convention of those in favor of organization
is 10 be held soon, at the town Of Tecumseh.
The Squatters, opposed to any organization
are also to hold Convention, and the Free
State Party are organizing. A Delegate. to
Congress is to be chosen, and hence the ag-
itation of the political waters. The time
for election has not been fixed, that we
are aware of, but number of persons are
announced as candidates.

Republican Party.

The anti-slavery men of every grade are
organizing in many Of the Northern States,
under the name of the Republican Party
The sleading object of the new party, as a
party, is to prevent the extension of slavery
in any more territory, and the admission of
any more slave States in the Unon-.he re-
peal of the Nebraska Kansas bill and the
Fugitive Slave Law. We observe men who
have heretofore held prominent positions in
the Old Parties, identified with this move
ment. They are organizing for the next
Presidential Campaign, and will have full
tickets in the field for State officers, at the
intervening elections. In Ohio, Solomon P.
Chase heads the Republican ticket for Gov.
ernor. The election takes place in Octo-
ber We have hopes that he will be de-
feated.

a Daring Horse Thief.

1t will be recollected horse-thief by the
name of John Carey, run off several horses
and mules from Charlton county, some ten
months since. He was arrested in Kansas
Territory, few weeks since, for stealing
horses in Clay county, and confined in Jail at
Independence. He gave his name as John
Moore, and said he resided in Charlton
County. Some Of the citizens of Charlton,
who were up there, hearing of the circum-
stances went to see him, and at once pro-
nounced Moore TO be Carey. He had sto-
len very fine mule from Mr.. Jno. d. Locke,
and informed him that he sold the mule 10 a
gentleman living in Moniteau county, which
proyedto be true. Upon visiting Moniteau
county, Mr.. Locke ascertained the mule had
been again sold to Mr.. Morrison, of this
county, who still had it, and from whom he
got it. He also learned that Carey, some
fsix weeks after he sold the mule, returned
to the neighborhood, and stole it again. He
was so holly pursued, however, that he aban.
doned his mule, saddle and saddle bags, ant
narrowly escaped with his life, having beer
repeatedly shot at. He, however ,spassec
through the sane neighborhood, in few
months, under an assumed name, and sale
he was looking for Carey, a noted hsrs'
thief. After being nabbed in Kansas, ant
committed TO Jail, he confessed everything
and told where many horses were sold tina
he had stolen. One horse stolen about fiv
miles from here, he says he sold in Alabama
There are several indictments against hin
in Charlton county, where he will most prob
ably be brought for trial.

INTEn-OcEANIo SHIP CANAL.-The
Washington Star learns from a reliable
source, that some enterprising citizens OF
the United States and New Granada have
discovered and explored the long sought for
route for connecting the Atlantic anl Pa
cifc oceans by means of ship canal. This
great desderatum 10 the commercial world
is certainly the most grand and important
enterprise of this age, and worthy the at
tenton and consideration of every civilized
people and government. The plan, as the
Star understands, is to go up the Atrato riv-
er some fifty miles from Its mouth, with
depth of from six to ten fathoms, and from
thence to the Pacifc--a distance Of some
sixty miles more-without single lock OIL
obstruction in the contemplated canal. A
liberal grant has been made by the govern
ment of New Granada TO the persons ell
gagged in this grand undertaking; and TIN
whole route, from one ocean to the other
has been accurately surveyed, and the fact
developed are beyond doubt or question, S
far as the feasibility Of the work is concern
