Southern Candidate for the Presidency

The Charleston Mercury wants TO know
why the people of the South, should feel a
necessity for hunting up candidate for the
Presidency, when they have such true man
before them as Pierce, who has already been
weighed in the balance, and moi found want
ing.
Pierce has been found "wanting" in
some respects, say in appointing a free sol
Governor for Kansas Territory, 10 fcment
strife and discord among the people of slave
States, and subject their property 10 peril
He has been found "wanting" when called
upon TO remove this obnoxious nppointee Of
his, notwithstanding he was shown the i'm
portanee of it. He was 'wanting" in duty
to the South in not selecting Governor fol
this Territory from among the number oI
good Southern men, who were recommended
for the post. And he derided the South
when he appointed pro-siavery man Gov
ernor of Nebraska. Verify, the South will
want better man Than Pierce, for the mex
. President.

The Election in Kansas takes place TO-
morrow. The vote is 10 be by ballot. In
his Proclamation Gov. Reeder defines as
follows, the
Qualification of Voters.
By the Territorial Bill tits provided as
follows: 49,
THAT every free white male inhabitant
above the age oftwenty-one years, who shall
be an actual resident of said Territory, and
shall possess the qualifications hereinafter
prescribed, shall be entitled 10 vote at the
first election, Provided, That the right OF
suffrage and of holding office, shall be exer-
cised only by citizens OF the United States
and those who have declared on oath their
intention 10 become such, and shall have ia
ken an oath to Support the Constitution OF
the United States and the provisions of this
act; ind Provided further; That no Officer,
Soldier, Seaman or Marine, or other person
in the Army or Navy of the United States,
or attached to troops in the Service Of the
United States, shall be allowed 10 vote or
hold Office in said Territory, by reason Of
being on service therein"
BY the term ."whitc" as used in this and
other laws of q similar character is mean,
pure urmixed white blood. The man who
has any mixture from the darker races how.
ever small the proportion, is not regarded
as white man. This has been repeatedly
decided and may be regarded as settled
When a voter has only declared his inten.
ton TO become citizen he must be sworr
by the Judges Of election or by Judge oil
Justice Of the peace to support the Constitu
tion OF the United Statce, and the provisions
Of the act Of Congress passed May 30, 1855
TO organise the Territories of Nebraska AM
Kansas When so sworn the word oath
should be merked opposite his name on th'
list of voters, and voter who has had thi
cath once administered, will Of course not b
required to repeat it.
1t will be seen that the Act Of Congress
, is drawn with much care TO exclude non-res
idents from the Polls. 1t provides that
voter shall be an s'inhabitant" and ian actll
: al resident" A voter must dwell here a
: the time of offering his votc-he must the
D have commenced an inhabitancy which h
actually intends TO continue permanently an
must have made the Territory his dwellin
place 10 the exclusion Of any other home.
The meaning Of the last proviso relativ
=, 10 the Army and Navy is that the person
f designated in it shall not vote if their inhab
4 iancy in the Territory be relerrble only {
the performance oil their duties. Like a
other persons, it is not enough that the,
should be in the Territory, but they mu,
: dwell in it, as their permanent home; and III
: officer or soldier who would vote must hay
a residence here irrespective and indcper
dent Of his presence under orders.
$ Every voter must vote in the election Pre-
. cnct where he resides and not elsewhere
Experience has demonstrated this 10 be

"OLD THE old Common

Wise leads the Pierce forces, and is opposed

Kansas Election.

The great struggle between Slavery and
Free Soil, comes of in Kansas Territory TO-
morrow, and the result Of the days work
will determine whether or not Slavery will
be perpetuated in that Territory. The op-
penents of slavery have been steadily, and
systematically at work, ever since the pas
sage of the Nebraska Bill, 10 make Kansas
Free Soil. They have labored with the zeal
of fanatics, but we think will be Defeated
The South, though at rather late day, de-
termined 10 DO something else besides hold
ing public meetings and passing high-soun-
ding resolves, and large number Of pro-
slavery men have been thrown into the Ter
ritory as actual settlers, and the abolitionis,s
will be met at the polls, and we trust and
.Ebelieve, out-voted.
The South has labored under serious dis
advantages, in this contest. The Governor
has been against us; and while we have beer
working in the dark, the abolitionis,s Of the
North have been kept fully posted up, as tc
when the election would take place, and the
number Of votes necessary to carry the day
the particular election districts they were
wanted in, &c.; but we have had the I'D.
vantage in contiguity 10 the Territory, AZ,
will have ourselves to blame, If we have no
made good use it.
The workings Of "squatter Sovereignty
will be pretty well tested in this contest
(ihough perhaps not fairly and we shall b.
nble to institute comparison between
theory and practice. The "squatter" theo
ry looks well, but without some restrictions
we have fears as TO its practical effects. -

prudence and discretion will be exercise
by both parties, and that it will be, as
should, made a contest Of numbers, and tina
the defeated, be it which party it may, vii
peaceably and quietly submit--that the vic

New Orleans papers Of Monday are re-
ceived. They contain detail OF the Next

Santa Anna, and his presence South had
been sufficient to make the revolutionists
experience the greatest route. A letter
from the Minister of War dated Ignola,

by Santa Anna and would be executed
The rebels were also routed by the govern

From Santa Fe.

INDEPENDENCE, MO-, uarch IL.
The Santa Fe mail arrived to-day, huv-
ing left that city on the frsi instant, bring
ing the latest intelligence, and, as passen-
gers, Don Alvercz and Mr.. Mercure.
The mail came safely, notwithstanding
the dangers which surrounded it.
A hasty glance at the intelligence leads to
the conclusion that everything there tends
to war and confusion.
An article in the Santa Fe Gazette of
Oath ult., describes at length an expedition
into the Mescalero country, and the death
of Capt. Staunton of the United States ar
my, and two men. They were killed in an
engagement with the Indians, and in the
same fight, Santa Anna, the head chief,
and fifteen or twenty of the tribe were also
killed.
Another article in the same paper, and
some private correspondence, speak freely
in favor of an increase of mail facilities.-
The inhabitants Of the country are few, sur
rounded by hostile Indians, and need protec-
ton, and the present maj! arrangements dc
not enable them to make their wants known
or TO derive assurances of relief.
| The Indians are committing deprcdutlons
and shocking outrages in every quarter
and no one doubts the necessity of giving
them thorough chas,isement.
An article in the Gazette of the l7th ut.
mentions the appointment, by Gov. Merri
wether, of Ceran St. Nrain to the command
Of battalion Of volunteers, raised for tn,
protection Of the inhabitants, and commend
the wisdom of THE selection.
There is now the utmest danger TO an,
train travelling over the plains without al
escort Of soldiers.
Hostility seems to be spreading iron
tribe to tribe on The whole route, threaten
ing to break out in deeds Of violence an
outrage everywhere.
Something should be done.

The Land Bounty Bill.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, writes as follows:
The land bounty bill turns out TO be mere
bagatelle-u trifling grant of "a millions of
acres instead Of two hundred millions, as had
been estimated. The warrants will not av-
erage more than eighty acres and the num-
Der cannot exceed three thousand. The
warrants, being assignable, will command
about seventy-fve dollars for hundred and
sixty acres. The Spectators, who are the
real benefciaries of the bill, will engross
them at that price, and sell them at a small
discount from the government price. The
old soldiers will receive under The bill the
sum of twelve millions of dolars-less the
twelve per cent paid 10 agents, attorneys,
&c., and the spectators about eighteen mil
lions. 1t would have been much better, in
the financial point Of view, for Congress to
pay the old soldiers and agents, in cash, out
Of the treasury.

Ex-Governor Matteson, of Illinois, it is
said, will refuse to give Judge Trumbull a
certificate of his election 10 the United
States Senate, on the ground that the Judge
is not eligible, under the clause of the con-
stitution which prohibits any judge of the
Supreme court from accepting any other
Office during the term for which he was
elected judge, nor for one year after the ex-
piration of such term. Judge Trumbull has
resigned the office of Judge, but the term for
which he was elected has not yet expired.
