"rHE PRESIDENT AND KANSAS.

The Union copies from the Boston Post an
article with the above caption, which contains
many good points, but it is ambidextrous-it
is two-edged sword. 1t begins with excep-
tionable premises at variance with the conclu-
sions arrived at. We object to the following:
"The emigrants sent out by the aid company
in majority of instances were actual bona
fde settlers, determined to make Kansas their
future home. The Missourians frequently
were mere transient sojourners, with no inten.
ton to become settlers in Kansas"
The phraseology is insidious: "a majority
of the aid company were bona 6de settlers fire.
quently; the Missouriaus were sojourners."
We desire to know which we're the most nu-
merous, the minority of the aid company, or
the .trequenters" of the Mssourians. 1t is
evident enough which impression is intended.
Again: "The election of members Of the
! first Territorial Legislature came on. II is
con tessed that the Missourians from the border
counties rushed in and overpowered the actual
settlers"
| By whom is this confession nader We have
seen the accounts stating that the Missourians
went 10 locate with the intention of bringing their
families as soon as practicable; very many,
nearly all, were there long before many Of the
aid company had arrived. Objection is made
TO the Missourian Of two weeks residence, and
none to the member Of the aid society Of an
hours residence. Who was the Judge that the
Missourian was not an actual settler in two
weeks residence, and the member of the aid
society was an actual settler the day his foot
touched the soil? Yet such is the distinction
made by the Post and copied by the Union.
While we approve, in the main, the conclusions
OF the Post, we differ from il in regard to the
facts upon which it bases its premises.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
FAILURE TO ORGANIZE!

There are great many people who hate the
Democratic party, and who endeavor to hold
it responsible for every bad thing that takes
place in the world. All Abolitonists, all Free
soiers. all the advocates Of sms, all unsound
Wings and all unsound Know.nothugs,
equally abhor it, Why it is so, we viii not
stop to inquire, but certain it is that antago-
nistic as the several parties we have named
are to each other they are ever ready to unite
their forces III order to defeat the Democracy.
1t is also certain that they endeavor to hold the
Democracy responsible for everything bad that
happens in the political world.
The cry has been raised by the whole
opposition press that the Democrats of the
House of Representatives are responsible for
the failure thus far to organize Not only
do unsound Wings and Know-nothings join in
this cry, but, unpleasant to say, even conserva-
tive Wings and Southern Know noihings lend
their emphasis to it. H
That the Democrats cannot by themselves,
elect Speaker, is plain to all. That they will
not, and ought not, either directly or indirectly
aid in the election of political antagonist, all
Democrats at least viii acknowledge They
are doing the country and the Constitution
service when they prevent such an election,
particularly when the candidate is altogether
sectional fanatical, and unsound in his senti-
ments.
But how are they responsible for the failure
to organize? They do not constitute ma
jority.. If, as member Of Congress said the
other day in some remarks he addressed to the
House, the Democrats had one majority, the
election would be made at once. The majority
is against them, and surely the majority must,
on all the principles of justice and right reason
ing, be held responsible for the failure to or
ganize.
The Democracy cannot, for want of hume
rical force, elect, but they can prevent an i'm
proper election. If it is intended to blame
them for preventing the election of Free
soiler, they are willing to take the blame.

The Pennsylvania Of the 18th inst. thus
speaks of the reelection of Senator Mason.
"The State of Virginia, true to her old policy
Of re-eIecting her Senators when they are willing
to serve her again, recently elected Hon J. M.
Mason to represent her for six years longer in
the United States Senate Mr.. Mason is one Of
the ablest members Of the Senate, and has been
Chair man Of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons for some time. 1t appears from the papers
Of the day, that he has again been selected for
that distinguished post. Virginia sees the pro-
priety of keeping her public servants on the
high road Of advancement. This system Of
re-electing Senators gives States immense IN
duence in the Councils Of the Nation. This
may be seen by adverting to the fact, that the
two Senators Of Virginia at this time occupy
two Of the most prominent posts Of the Senate.
Thus, Mr.. Mason is Chairman Of Foreign Rela-
tons, and Mr.. Hunter, Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Finance.
The changing policy Of the Northern and
Middle States, detracts greatly from the strength
and force Of these States The science Of
Legislation comes not by intuition. To be
perfected in its details, and to grasp with
master mind the diversified interest ola Nation,
requires a long schooling in the public councils.
1t is therefore prodgious error for these States
TO pass by men who are eminently qualified by
long experience to hold seats in the National
Legislature, and send noUices there to defend
their States muldfarious claims, against the
well.trained legislative tactcians Of the South
An able Representative, in either House Of
Congress, is Of inestimable value to the Com
monwealth he may be called TO represent.

The New Orleans papers have late news
from Mexico, showing that the conspiracy lately
discovered had for its object the overthrow of
the present Government, and the elevation of
General Urags to the Presidency. The plot
was pretty extensive one AMI had adherents
at Puebla, Culican and San Miguel de Alentc.
Uraga had been arrested and imprisoned, but
subsequently made his escape while being taken
TO the capital. The other leading spirits in the
movement are Colonel Osollo, and the famous
priest Miranda, who have also been arrested
The papers discovered by the officers of the
government disclose in full the plans of Uraga
and his confederates. No particular objection
to Alvarez is urged, except that he ia old, and
lacks the energy, as well as the proper expert
ence in State affairs, to govern.
The Constitution Of 1924 was to be revived.
the National Guard abolished, and a perma-
nent army Of 10000 men raised. The church
was to be respected in all her privileges and
rights Of property, and it was clearly intimated
that these newspapers which have been thnn-
dering away against the clergy we're to be an
initiated. The Bishop Of San Luis was at the
head of one of the revolutionary clubs formed
in that city.
The papers are filed with rumors Of disaffec-
ton in various parts Of the country, and it APP
pears that the clergy, fearing perhaps cur
tailment of their immunities by the govern
ment of Alvarez, are mixed up to consider
able extent in the new movement.
Our minister, Mr.. Godsden, had written a
letter to Vidaurri, denouncing the recent inva-
sion from Texas, and pronouncing Captain
Callaghan and his men band Of vandals.

ADMIRAL BRuAT, commander Of the French
feet in the Black sea, whose death off Messina
was announced by the last steamers papers,
was but 6ftyn years Of age, and enjoyed a
high reputation in the French navy. He was
IN Alsatian, born at Coleman, May 26th, 1876,
educated at the Naval School of Brest, and in
1915 entered the Navy. In 1s27ghe became a
lieutenant, and with that rank commanded the
brig Adventure at the blockads of Algiers.
The brig ran aground and be and his crew
we're captured and imprisoned in Algiers until
released at the taking Of the city by the French.
lie was then tried by court martial for the loss
of his vessel, but honorably acquitted. The
next year he became captain, and in l843
was sent to the Marquesas Islands to establish
the French protectorate there. Accomplishing
this, he became Governor Of the French Islands
in the Pacific.

they think, as they must think, that the Dem
ocratic party is right in regard to the organi-
cation. Of the House, if they cannot con-
scientiouly act with any other party and are
helpless and hopeless by themselves, they
ought to cast pride to the winds, and come up
like men and cooperate with the Democracy,
without demanding conditions or concessions.
We fear that pride will prevail with them,
which took place on Tuesday will drive them
still further off.
No man knows what day or an hour may
bring forth; but the general, almost universal
impression is, that organization is at present an
impossiblity.

When off the coast of Kamschatka, with
Maury's line and Brooke's lead bottom was
obtained from depth of LOO fathoms. The
specimen was Immediately put under micro
scope OF 500 linear, and there were seen in
fusoria that were probably alive before being
relieved OF the enormous pressure at that depth.
Many OF them were fresh and clear, with the
central brown discoloration which indicates
the animate or recently animate condition of
the vital organs.
A doubt was expressed as to their coming
from the bottom Of the sea. 1t was said that
they came from the water through which the
instrument passed on the way up. Fortunately
the continuance by which the specimens were
received, though very simple, possessed the
advantage of taking up the sediment and
preserving it in tact. The bands of four goose
quilts, open at both extremities, were inserted
IN the end of the iron rod which pierces the
bottom; small valve permitted the water to
how through them as they went down, but It
closed as they came up. These quilts were
found to be packed with the tenacious sediment
IN apparently the same condition in which it
was when forced into them. One was taken,
wiped perfectly dry, cut open, and the middle
portion, plastic and adhesive as the clay ready
for the potter was taken out and examined
the infusoria presented the same appearance, of
vitality
La order that microscopists Of eminence may
have reliable grounds upou which to base their
opinions, as to the living condition of these
infusoria at the time of their capture, the quill
bands we're corked at each end, and at the
suggestion OF a naturalist, put in walls of alco-
hol, and very soon everything relating to the
matter will be forwarded to the United States,
and the originator of this great system of
oceanic sounding will have new link, with
which to strengthen the great chain of facts,
which have, by his power Of generalization,
been rendered subservient to commerce and to
science. Specimens from 2,700 fathoms have
also been obtained, but, at that time the contri-
vance OF the goose-quils had not been applied.

CONGRESS-.

The Senate transacted but little business of
public interest.
The House voted twice for Speaker, but with
no definite result. A proposition to elect a
presiding officer by ballot met with but little
favor, it having been laid on the table by a
vote of two hundred and thirteen against seven.
The time was principally occupied in debate
members awaiting themselvesof the opportunity
presented for defining their positions.

Mr.. FULLER, Of Pennsylvania, who said, in the

Kansas into the Union wi h or without slavery, as
the people OF the Territory should prefer

Mr.. CAMPBELL Of Kentucky vindicated the
American party, and condemned the |tions, par
ticularly the "Black Republicans"
The gentlemen named in the foregoing notice
of the proceedings were applauded from time to

confusion, now and then prevailed.
After further proceedings, the result Of another
vote was announced namely:

Mr.. JONES of Tennessee thought members
themselves ought to set better example. He
