KANSAS TO BE A FREE STATE.-We have
never had occasion to doubt that Kansas
would eventually become free State. A
contrary impression has been influenced by
weak politicians who need the capital TO be
made out of it to sustain themselves before
the people, though such impressions have
deprived Kansas Of many intelligent freemsn
as settlers-La Fayette American.

The WASHINGTON UNION on THE INsTRUc-
TToNs OF COMMODORE McCAULEY-It is
scarcely necessary to remark, that as the late
! occurrences in the neighborhood of Cuba have
caused the President to send naval force
there, the inference is conclusive that the ob.
ject is to prevent a repetition of such occur
rences, and to punish them if their repetition
is attempted. Those acts are regarded by the
Executive as violations of international law,
and indignities to our flag, and agercssions
upon our rights, and distractions to our COM
merce, which cannot, and will not be tolerat-
ed. Commodore McCauley will raise no
questions of naval etiquette in connection
with the exercise of the right of visitation OF
examination of our vessels by Spanish wal
ships. His business is to know that our gov
eminent repudiates all controversy as to the
existence of such right, whether it be sought
to cover it under the head of bringing tor OF
''firing over" or any one of the naval phra-
SEES which are so leamedly Investigated in
some of the newspapers, or whetheri it is asser-
ted openly and boldly as an existing Spanish
right. He does not go there with lexicog-
rapher in his hand to enter into pathological
dispositions with Spanish officers, but to say
to them, you can claim no right Of search,
visitation, or examination, of any vessel right
fully bearing our flag upon the high seas, I'M
der amy guise or any pretext, in my presence
or within my reach; if you attempt it. the
act will be done at your peril. If the Lnteli-
ge'ioer chooses to regard instructions of this
character as ''blooGy," it is welcome to make
the most of them; other citizens, of better
patriotism, will judge differently. We do not
pretend to conjecture whethera hostile collis-
ion will or will not result from che execution
Of the orders of Commodore McCauley. That
matter is with the Spanish officials and their
government. They now know the position
of our government on the question, and they
have the issue of peace or war in their hands
If they persist in their career of aggression
war is inevitable, and war by their own act
and upon their own responsibility.

The RIGHTs OF NEUTRALs.-The Su-
preme Court of Prize in England has just
decided, in the case Of neutral vessel seized
by Admiral Napier, while blockading the
Baltic, that officers OBTAINING neutral ships
without sufficient grounds, and under mis-
apprehension of their duty. must be held liza
BILE to make good the loss and expense their
tmay have occasioned. This, in the Eng
hsh papers, is announced as the rule of the
laws of nations, acted upon by the French
courts, by the American courts, and in some
cases by English judges. The London Times
praises the decision, and says the courts OF
maritime jurisprudence should uphold, to the
fullest extent those just and liberal principles
which are calculated, as far as possible, to
lessen the evils of war to all nations.

0TThe following is an extract from the
Speech of Mr.. BRIGHT, at Manchester, on
the Russian War:
''You hear that the health of the troops is
excellent; it is wonderful They are having
races and dog hunts. and do not know what
besides but that does nothing for those men
whose remains are sleeping under the soil of
the Crmea 1t does nothing for those who
are languishing in the hospitals at Smyrna
and Scutari. 1t does little for those who were
mangled, and manned, and injured for life
1t does nothing for the homes which are de-
ISOLATE. 1t does nothing for all those myriads
of our population who day by day find the
grip of poverty closing more and more upon
them. But if the people of this country

could see this country cultivated like a gar

and then contrast it with what YOU are now.
with those f28,0O0,0OO of debt incurred, the
largest portion of it for that needless war:
how that is wrung from all classes, and not

remember, also, that this year nearly $4,000

count in lifetime-a sum ten lifetimes could
not make us comprehend in the good that it
might do for man-that those f40Oo0OOO
are voted in two or three nights in the House
of Commons this session to carry on this war,
5000 miles away from your homes, for OBJ
