Mr. Hacketts finished and artistic rendition of Fat

what is worse, its credit Is bad. Shut out from
the exchanges of London and Paris, the EN-
peror would find himself hard pressed to pro-
vide the means for single campaign. His
half million Of soldiers might turn against him,
as Austrian troops have done before, and their
very efficiency which is his strength, might
prove his ruin in the event of financial trouble
Still, the news from Vienna has decided
leaning towards the Russian side Of the quar-
rel. Though the allies have not taken a
step in diplomacy in which Austria has
not fully copcurred, her armies are
meanwhile consolidating their tenure of
the Priccipalities, setting free the Rus
sian division assigned to that line Of opera
tons, and menacing the line of the Balkans
without enabling Turkey to meet threat by
threat, or even invasion by defence. The calm
confidence displayed by the Russian Court is
not without foundation. The school OF Russo
Austria is not extinct. If Austria had meant
to join the allies, why did she let their army go
to pieces before Sebastopol? If she did not ex-
pect to share in Russia's conquests, why did
she prevent Omer Pasha driving Gortschakoff
out Of the Principalities? Trickery and de-
ception de]ude for awhile; but events follow
each other rapidly. Nations must act, aud
mere words soon cease to have any weight.

SEWARD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. The lesser
Seward organ contained an article yessarlay
intended to injure the Know Nothings, by mis-
representing them and the people Of this State.
1t stated that the reelection of Mr.. Seward
to the United States Senate, and the passage
of ahtiFlavery resolutions by the Legislature
proved that the bulk of the people of this State
belonged to the anti.slavery party. This is
not true. Mr.. Stewards election was the result
Of trick fraud; among the men who voted
for him we're many of the most corrupt politi-
clans in the State, men who sold the nselves
openly for various considerations-the same in
fact who came here and got drunk, then went
to Albany and passed the Prohibitory Liquor
law. The fact was, the anti-slavery party be-
fore the last election had no strength at all
worth mentioning, as its leaders found when
they tried to organize the great republican
party which was to sweep all the elections at
the North, and make William r. Seward Presi-
dent in 1856 1t made nominations at Sara.
toga, but the Candidates would never have been
heard Of again had they not been adopted aud
endorsed by the temperance party, aud half a
dozen other sectional and secsarian cliques and
associations. After all, with all the temper
ance and all the anti-slavery, aud all the fana.
teal strength of the State, they were left in
decided minority, having less, we believe, on
an average, than one-third the total vote
polled. What abominable impudence it is after
this to say that the anti slavery men are ma.
jority in this State!
Nor are the Misrepresentation of Mr..
Stewards lesser organ in relation to the pro-
ceedings Of the Know Nothing Convention at
Syracuse less impudent. 1t states that The
convention split upon slavery. There was 10
approach to anything of the kind. The subject
was preached thrice. Once when man of the
name Of Chubbuck, an adherent Of Mr.. Seward
was caught in the convention room, and was
expelled as an intruder. A second time, when
it was understood, by unanimous consent, tdat
the relations Of the Order on the subject of
slavery, being point of national politics,
should be left to the National Council, aud no.
discussed at State Council which of course
could only speak for itself. A third time when
the State Council Of New York exposed its
utter aversion for disorganizers and disunion-
lists. Mr.. Stewards organ is wholly under
mistake If it intends to say that on any Of these
points a difference of opinion existed.

the Interests Of free soil land spsculators and
the. anti-slavery cause. But we still believe
mat the South have q legitimate majority in
the Territory, that they will make it good,
make Kansas slave Safe, and that this being
done, they have the unquestionable right to
demand the admission OF Kansas as a slave
State into the Union.
The administration, through its favorite free
soil Governor, Reeder, may continue to play
into the hands of his land SPECTATORS and our
Northern antislavery emigration companies;
but the people of Missouri, Arkansas and
other Southern States appreciate their danger
and the vital Importance of saving Kansas
from the grasp of the abolitionists. Looking
to the necessity, at this crisis of the slavery
agitation-the permanent necessity of posi-
tive balance of power in the South againss
Northern aggressions, we say that had Con-
gress the power the South would have the
right to demand the establishment of slavery
in the Territory by act Of Congress. But the
question is with the settlers of the Territory
and if the South are most active, the victory
is theirs, the State is theirs and as such, if we
aim to deal justly and honorably, it must be
admitted into the Union. We cannot refuse it.
But, as we understand it, it is the fixed policy
Of the Northern anti slavery league including
Seward, his followers and his organs, to reject
the application of Kansas if she asks for ad-
mission with State constitution in favor of
Southern slavery. Are there not two sides to
this question? Viewed in any light, it is the
policy of the South-the vital policy Of self
pres rvation-to resist any further additions to
the preponderance which the North nov pos
sesses in the Senate at Washington. Consult
ing this policy, then, we repeat that this Kansas
question may become the test Of union or dis
union. Meantime our Northern vagabond
Intermediates, fanatics and scheming agitators,
in connection with this Pierce administration,
are responsible for what has occurred in Kan
sas and for the ultimate results of this ugly
and ominous territorial imbroglio. The people
Of the South will look out for their own safety
and future security; it is for North to say
whether there shall be union or disunion.
