THE RIPPLE AND THE MISCHIEF.


The match race between these well known
yachts came OFF at Point Clear on Tuesiaylast,
and resulted in the triumph Of the Ripple, The
interest of the race was brought to an early
close by the breaking Of the Mischief's CENTER
board. How, and in what manner this mishap
befel, has not been clearly explained. Before
the accident to the Mischief, however, the Ripple
had taken the lead, and to the eyes Of her adj
mirers looked as though she would keep it in
spite Of, everything, We cannotsbut regret that
anything should have occurred to prevent a full
and fair test of the respective qualities of the
tive yachts, as we are very anxious to know
what the Ripple could do in a frstrate breeze,
plenty of water and sea way, and closely pressed
by the until this season. acknowledged fastest
yacht in the Southern waters.
All who witnessed the race bear testimony to
the able manner in which Braisted, with his
Incompatible crew, handled his craft until the
race was given up BY the Mischief
! This race, we suppose, ends the yachting
season; nearly all the yachts will go into winter
quarters, and the price Of cotton and sugar, and
things of that sort, will resume their sway over
the minds of our amateur sailors until another
summer comes.

THE CRI SIS,

In view of the late transactions in Kansas,
we think the public mind in the Free States must
be we'll aroused concerning the probable destiny
OF that Territory. In commenting on these
events we have not been carried away By our
hopes or fears respecting the foal result. Giving
full and authentic intelligence from all sides we
express thereon the sentiments and convictions
we ell terrain without regard to any pre- conceived
judgments, or without stopping to inquire
whether they are agreeable or disserseable to
others. Correspondents In the Free States have
often objected that We are inclined to take too
upfsvorsble views Of the prospect. They tell US
We should never speak upon the subject except
in tones of confidence that Kansas will be Free
State. But such lie not our theory Of treating
questions of public concern.
It's Of DO use to disguise the fact that Kansas
Is in great peril. She can only be rescued from
Slavery BY The most fearless aud determined course
on the part Of the Free States. In the natural
course of things sLe will hardly be saved For the
natural courseis to leta Territory go on, and when
it really presses the question Ct admission, to les

FRIDAY, APRIL -, 1855.

The memory Of the lamented HENRY CLAY
was abused last night by carouse got up in the
name of defunct body once lnow as L" Tbs
''Hepry Clay Festival Association" but nos
conducted by handful of midnight plotting
Know .NothiDgs of this rabid sors. The whole
affair was an insult to the fair fam Of the open
hearted, chivalrous, high minded Prince Of
American Statesmen; and it was fitting that the
chief speaker should be one of those "fair-
weather friends" who betrayed Mr.. Clay al
the Slaughter House Convention; who was the
very fret among Wing editors to whistle him
down the wind, and run up the military glory flag
of Gen. Taylor, and who is now riding the Native
hobby with that fiery zeal peculiar TO apostates
only. A great effort was made to get some leading
Silver Grsys TO show off with b1. Mr.. Fillmore
and the others invited respectfully declined. If
there were any real friends Of Henry Clay there
last night, they must have felt humliatel and dis.
gusted at the rant about "Sam" and "S.g-
"Nichts," and such unworthy trash as the CON-
pany was compelled to hear.

Territory into State at the earliest moment.
In the next Congress the shareholders Of
Mirecuri will be before that body in
force, with Constitution for Kansas, :lsQoring
for her admission. And then we shall see shat
we shall see. At home, a. elected. the majority
Of the members of the House are opposed to the
admission of Kansas - Slave State under asy
circumstances. But the usual machinery for cor
uptpg and breaking down the North in every
case where Slavery is concerned, i' ready to be
gathered up and put to use whenever occasion
Demands. Our present opinion 10, that the next
House cannot be seduced or buliied into sub mis-
sion. But there is Know Nothing element in it
that We cspnot be cure o. We do not know what
delu.ve considerations ~ be brought to bear upon
silly, rotten, or ambitious men Of that society. II
We are TO To sold. the Know .Nothings are TO sell
us. The old line Democrats aye lot strong enough,
and the true Anti Nebraska mea will not. Oar
cor fdence in the incorruptibility Of the next
Congress on this score IL, however, sTong.
But 1t is time that the Free Safes, 10 their
Legislatures, in their State and loo 4. Conventions
were bringing mp tie Kansas question for consid-
Grafton. 1t is the great question Of our politics.
II is time for the North to take ground-time t,
plant itsef immOssbly upon the position tina.
Kansas shall never be surrendered to Slavery.
The Free States can control the House of Repre-
sebtatives. They can keep in it an inviuciole
barrier sgainst the further spread Of Slavery, If
they WILL 1t is their imperative duty to do this.
SO far az Kansas is concerned, the immediate
tack is to keep the territory open for the simis
zion of emigration. 1t is to promptly reject every
proposition for it's erection into State until its
population becomes stable aud numerous Let
Us have 10 State of Kansas e1temporzed by a
crowd Of Shareholders from Missouri
But these views must not be left to individual
ard accidental expression. They should tske the
form Of deliberate resolve on the part Of every
Free State. They should be asserted before the
country and tue world in the most authoritative
manner. An inevitable collision 10 before us, be-
tween the North and the South, on the question
of Slavery Extension. 1t is high tims for tae
Free Stats to defte their position. We have
suggested the ac,isn Of Legislatures and Con-
yeptlors; why should there not be great
General Convention to consider the suoject!
There is grave and important dusy to discharge
in the premises, aud il can undoubtedly best be
dope by joint consultation Of all the Free States.
