English View of the Kansas Difficulties.

From the London Daily News.
The President message to Congress pre-
sents pleasing, and, we believe, an unex
aegera.ed picture of the material prosperity
of the United States. The circumstances
under which the message was transmitted
to Congress, and the disturbances in Nan
sas, present a picture of the social and po-
litical condition of the Union less calcula-
ted to inspire satisfactory anticipations. 1t
is evident that an embittered struggle of
many discordant parties is now being
waged throughout the States. Z
Something very like civil war on small
scale has been wagcd in Kansas, though the
combatants seem to have desisted from ac-
tive hostiiities for the present; and the in
vaders of Kansas from Missouri command
the sympathies Of an immense majority of
the inhabitants Of the slave States, while
the inhabitants of the territory are cheered
on by no inconsiderable party in the north
ern States To those who have not closely
and infinitely studied the history of the
Union, and watched the progress of cotem
porary political contests, civil war would
appear to be imminent. We ale not dis
posed, however, to regard the situation ilf
such an alarming spirit. We have seen so
many threatening political storms of this
''ferce democracy" blow over without ma
terial change, that we feel convinced the
| frame of the constitution will wealth
er this one also. With regard to the par
ties to the wordy war in Washington, there
can be little doubt of this. And with re-
gard to the untamed spirits of the newly
settled regions, their struggles always re-
mind us Of a remark made by the late Earl
of Durham, after his return from Canada
In company where the Earl was present, a
gentleman adycrted in disparaging terms
to the peculiar state of society in the new
settlements Of the Union. "What aston
ishes me-, said Lord Durham, ''is not that
there should b. large amount of lawless-
ness in these districts, but that there should
be SO much Of sci,led government and re-
spcct for law. Along with many respect
able settlers, all the most reckless spirits
of the Union flock thither, and the remote
ness and weakness of the central govern
ment leaves them entirely their own mas
ters. That any regulated government
should be possible under such circumstance
es is remarkable testimony to the capaci-
! ty of the American people for selfgovern-
ment.' We quote from memory after i,
lapse of many years, and fear that We have
done injustice to Lord Durham's express
ions; but we are certain that we give the
sense of what he said. In his view we
certainly concur; and even amid the most
painful excuses of North American border
life, we cherish rooted conviction that all
will come right in the long run. With the
surcease Of the outrage in Kansas the ar
dent sympathies of the pariisans of TIE
contending parties throughout the Union,
will be allayed, and the contest will lose
much Of lis present alarming appearance.
We are, therefore, entirely free from APP
prehensions of any immediate danger from
the present fierce war Of parties in the Uni
ted States.

Proverbs for Planters.

Farmers and others will heed the fol-
lowing, whatever they may think of book
or fancy farming generally. They will di-
rect the attention of their sons to these Uni
versal Rules, and commend every one to
follow them. We are indebted for the most
of them to that excellent manual, ULustrdt-
ed Register of Rural 16airs, every line of
which is text in itself for more elaborate
article
Never keep animals on short allowance;
if YOU starve them, they will surely sarve
you.
Although, in draining land throughly.
your purse may be drained, yet tie full
crops that follow will soon fill it again.
1'rving to farm without a capital is like
trying to run locomotive without fuel
Money and wood must both be consumed.
if they are to move the machine of the
farm or of the rail.
Always give the soil tho first meal. If
this is well fed with manure, it will feed all
else-plants, animals and men.
If YOU wish to give an energetic move
ment tpall Your farm machinery and keep
its hundred wheels In rotation, be sure to
be not without good rotation of crops.
If you allow your animals to shiyer your
fortune will be shivered in consequence;
that is, the farmer who leaves his cattle to
the winds, will find his profits also given
to the winds.
Heavy carat crops for cattle will soon re-
turn carats of gold.
Did You ever hear the musical notes of
a starving herd Of hogs? Extinguish by
food those notes speedily, if you would
avoid even more annoying notes after pay
day has passed.
Fences operate in Two way-if good they
are defence, if poor an offence.
Many farmer, by too sparingly seeding
his new meadows, has had to cede his
whole farm.
Every farmer should see daily every an
imal he has, and inspect its condition.
Weekly visits, as with some, soon result il

Adventure with q Wolf.

The Kansas correspondent of The ~. Louis Re
publican tells the following story:
"a few days since, while riding in the rear of
our town in a small ravinc, through which stream
let takes its quiet way beneath its crystal coverings
and whose irrigation has produced tall grass and
shrubs that make hiding place for game, came
suddenly upon a large black wolf. He was scratch
inc at thin place in the ice, and seemed almost
f;.mished for water When he he started
in full run for the forest in the riyerbott0m. kept
upon his heels and tried to ride upon him. He was
almost exhausted, and just as | supposed he would
give out, he slipped into the hollow OF large cot
ton-wood tree i stopped the hole through which
he entered and came back to town and got al Ak
and the dog, and the assistance Of Frank Mahan
and VIM Palmer and together returned to cut
him out The dogs were anxious, and we were pre-
pared with our guns receive him. When we
made large hole about four feet from the ground,
the dogs jumped at it the out side and the wolf
on the inside and such a barking, growing, snap
ping and bowling never heard before. 1t made
the woods resQund for great distance, and brought
several ofthe ncighbors to the spot.
Things continued so for awhile, and consulted
what had best be done. We could not shoot the
wolf through this opening without too great risk
of killing the dogs for he only appeard at the in
side when the dogs were at the outside We final
ly concluded to stop the hole had made, and
fell the tree By cutting cash around it.
The tree came down little sooner than we expec-
ted. Frank Mahan had lifted for another stroke a.
Invent over with crash. The wolf, with bIistcd
back, and glaring eyes and gttering teeth, leapcd
at his throat with terrible ferocity. The descend
ing AK met halfway ccaving his skull and laying it
dead at his feet. We had 10 time to express our
wonder and congratulations at his and sin
glilar escape before our attention was called to that
which filled Us with amazement if not CIR cad. il

drew them al out and placed them again in form
The proportions perfect and the limbs straight

The Election Murder at Vincennes.

REDrArn, of the Missouri Democrat, thus dcs-
cribcs the atroeious murder which took place at
Vincenncs few days since, Il charter election in
that town.
An Irshman was murdered at the polls by man
named VIM Millar the Know Nothing candidate
for Marshal, at half past eleven o'clock.
As related by eyewitness, the murder orgna-

offered his vote.

''No sir,'' said the voter.

staggering backwards Il few steps, lie fell down

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.7-The seceders
from the American Convention have pub
lished the following address:
We, the Undersigned delegates to the
nominating Convention now in session in
Philadelphia, find ourselves compelled to
dissent from the opinions avowed by that
body, and holding rs we do to the opinion
that the restoration Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, demanded by Il large majority of the
people, is q redress of an undeniable wrong,
and the execution of it, at least in spirit,
is indispensable to the repose of the coun-
try.
We have regarded the refusal of that
Convention to regard the well-detined
opinion of the country, and of the Amerl-
cans of the Free States upon this question,
as denial of their rights and Il rebuke Of
their sentiments; we hold that the admiss-
ion into the National Council and nominal
ting Convention of the delegates from Lou
siana, representing Roman Catholic con
stituents, absolved every true American
from all obligations to sustain the action OF
