The election Of Mr. Buchanan and democratic
Congress to back him, cannot possibly end in any
other way than the admission of Kansas as slave
State at the first session Of the next Congress
The game IN Ncaragus is equally clear. )"
This is the catalogue of horrors with which the
people of the free States are to be daily and night
ly threatened and haunted for the next two weeks
by the affiliated opposition press. What q shock.
ing affair it would be, to be sure, if Kansas when
left free to her own choice and her own sfiuites
should declare that her institut ions shall be ike
those of Virginia, the Csrolinas, Tennessee, Alsbs
ma and Kentucky And then for California and
Texas to be carved up into slave States, what
horrible thing it would be in the opinion of Henry
Ward BeecherI But the new ingredient which is
thrown into their political csuldron by the late
arrival from Nicaragua is to be stirred I'D with
the "long pole" of abolition mo ct industriouslv.
For that Gen. Walker has found it necessary in
constructing his new government upon enduring
basis to abolish oil the DEGREES and ensctments of
his predecessors for the last twenty years and to
lay its new foundations broad and deep upon the
the plan of all free and independent States, he has
rendered himself obnoxious to their censure. How
was it possible for him to arrange and codify the
interminsble list of conflicting deere e., which had
been issued by the fratrscidsl gladiators who had
since 1888 succeeded each other in the government
OF Nicaragua A safe sta tesman and a sound
lawyer, he will no doubt adopt the Louisiana code
with which be is most familiar and which is so sd-
mrably adapted to the best interests of his gov
| eminent for since by his DEGREES of the 22d of
September he abrogates all acts of legislative or
executive character that have issued in the State
since 1888 and places the Republic b,ck to the
free, sovereign and independent " position which
it occupied by the declaration of the Constituent
Assembly of that year, tbs field is perfectly open
and clear for the introduction of bis avorite code
the wisdom of which is universally acknowledged,
Thus does the institution of slavery bee )me one
OF the institutions of Nicaragua again. in the exact
form of its existence prior to 1885, And hence
the new hue-and-cry of opposition.
If in the train of these events Cuba and Mex.
leo should of their own free will ask leave to
wheel into Uncle Sans Line and bring with them
ell Central America with the ms buttons best
adapted to their wants, it is to be hoped that we
may be in a condition to entertain the proposition
at least without asking the permission Of Messrs.
Simmer, Seward and Giddings.

Central America and Cuba for succor Since the
State elections Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indians,
AMI Florida, the reaction in favor of Mr.. Bu.hsn-
an is apparent, and it is daily adding thousands to
our ranks.
The opposition have found another new tool to
work with Disuayed by the late State elections,
slI their ingenuity put in requistion to invent
new expedients. II was telegraphed from Phia.
delphis yesterday that thirty thousand QuaEers in
that State had not voted at all in the State eiee-
tons and would cast their votes in November for
either Fillmore or Fremont This is not probs
ble since the aggregate vote of the State was ne
yer so great at the late election But it is cruel
to deprive them of this crum5 of comfort when
they are disposed to be thankful for such nsignif-
cant mercies EMUoFAW
