CIVIL WAR.

The attention of our readers is directed
to TIE telcgraphc news from Kansas. The
fact is no longer prob!ematisal, that civil
war really exists upon our frontiers; blood
has been split, and the practical issue has
,"mmenced. Southern patriotism has peo.
pied Kansas with numerous emigrants, and
that same chivalric spirit that prompted the
movement, is now required to sustain those
who have jeopardized their lives in defence
of southern rights and southern int, rest The
South must rally to the rescue, and I.ancas-
ter District should not be without place in
the picture. BY referring TO our Congress.

WAsnINoroE, June 8.-The ratification

addresses Of General Cass and Mr. Dou.

upon the occasion, and the reply Of the
President to the great popular mass be
fore the Executive Mansion were all nd.
mirable and appropriate. The nomina-
tons 1t would seem has left no heart
burnings among those Of that party who,
either formerly or now, have been held
worthy competitors for the nomination.
The Presidents address was unusually
happy in conception and expression.
Mr.. Pierce was himself chosen presi.

except four, though his only competitor
was military chief whose honor and pa.
triotism and services have been universal

THE NOMINEES.

Since the nomination of Mr.. BUCHAyAy
Tor the Presidency, great zeal has been man
lfcstco by the public Journals in hringinr
forward every incident, or event of his life,
that would throw light upon his previous
political character. Any number Of Bio
graphical sketches have been showcred up
| on the people, and if these statements may
be relied upon, We have ample facilities for
Judging Of the merits Of the man, vino in all
probability will soon be entrusted with the
power Of conducting the affairs of our Gov
eminent The amount Of the information
gathered from these extracts, 60 TO show
that Mr.. BUCnANAN's antccedcnts are not
strictly in accordance with the present prn-
ciples OF the Democratic party, and that DR., :
vious to the administration of General JACK
son, his views savored good deal of Fed
| eralism. Since that time, however, his
course has been eminently consistent, and
the chances are, that if elected, he will ex-
e'e.se his powers i'nPartiaiiy yin accordance
with the letter and spirit of the Constitution,
and with an eye TO the equal rights and
privileges of The South. There ia scareely
doubt but that the South will sustain the
nomination, and our own State, who very
rightly in doubtful cases prefers to throw
away her vote, in this instance is likely to
side with her sister States. The majority
OF our public Journals will support the nom.
inees; although Mr.. Pierce or Judge DoU
GLAs would have been preferred, still they
acqnicscc in the decree Of the party, rather
than to make matters WORSE by opposition.
This we think is the more sensible view of
the matter, and in the contest between Mr..
BUCHANAN and BLACK Republican, it would
evince great pervcrsity of principle to fur.

SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW,

One copy of the Southern Quarterly Re

turned TO the publication Office, without the
name of the subscriber, or any intimation
from what post office it came. 1t is, of
course, impossible for the publisher to know
from whence il came, or who has refused to
receive it. Those wishing to discontinue
their subscriptions TO this work, will please
mark the name of the post Office, together
with their own, on the envelope enclosing
the returned copy. We are gratiiicd to be
able TO say, that but few have returned
shcir copies, and many nrw subscribers have
been added 70 the books; but we would
remind those who have retained the Review,
that in order 10 secure the future number,
they must comply with the tcrms-pay-

the door keepers, who opposed their er-

Gov. Price, and lie fell; but instantly
sprang to his feet, and drew his revolver.
The fight continued until the Nilsson.

the excitement in the meantime being
painfully intense. Several members from
the Southern States placed their hands
upon their weapons, and for a while
bloodshed seemed really likely to follow.
But soon the Missourians saw the vacant
seats reserved for the New Workers, and

quiet was partially restored. While it
lasted the scene was one Of the widest ex-
