LATER FROM EUROPE!

The Steamship Persia arrived at New
York with later intelligence from Europe.
Orders have been transmitted from
St. Petersburg to the Russian army in
the Crimea to cease all further hostilities
until the results of approaching negotia-
tons be known.
It is also stated that the French and
English Cabi nets nave come to perfect
agreement as to the mode in which the
negotiations are to be carried on. At the
same time the beligerent Powers contin-
ue their preparations for an earnest con-
tinuance of the war should peace not re-
suit from the present endeavors.
1t was stated, butafterward contradict
ed, that Gems. Pellissier, Codrington and
Omaha Pasha had, like Gortschakof. re
ceived orders from their respective Gov
ernments to stop hostilities; such orders
will not be sent till an armistice be form
ally concluded.
Itwas thought that the armistice would
be signed about the End of February.
The sudden determination of the En-
peror of Russia to come to terms, has ex-
cited distrust in the minds ofthe English,
and it is limited that there is secret un-
derstauding between him and the French
Emperor, and that an alliance between
Russia and France may not be far dis
tant.
This accounts for the fact that English
journals do not feel very much elated by
the prt spects fpeace,

Republican Organization.

The Washington Republican Association
issue an ably-written Circular, setting
forth their objec and mode of organiza-
ton. and urging similar associations else
where. Its terse. brief, direct platform is
such contrast 20 the long winded shuf-
fling of most Conventions, nowadays,
that we copy it cntire:-
We adopt the following as our political
Platform, to wit
FIRST. That Congress possesses no pow
er ove- the institution of Slavery in the
several States; but that, outside of State
jurisdiction, the constitutional power OF
the Federal Government should be ex-
erted to secure LIFE, LIBERTY, and HAPPI-
NESS, to all men, and therefore,
SECOND. There should be neither Sla-
very nor involuntary servitude, except for
the punishment of crime, in any Of the
Territories of the Cnited States.
THIRD. The people are the rightfu1
source OF political power; and all officers
should, as far as practicable, be chosen by
a direct vote of the People.
FOURTH. Candidates for political Offices
should be men of undoubted integrity and
sotriety. and pledged to support the prin
ciples of this Platform by all lawful ane
constitutional means.

Lunatics on a Bust.

Robinson of the "Kenton Republican, =
in writing from Columbus says:-''The
resolutions of enquiry that hive been pass
ed from time to time, are beginning to
be responded to, and | must confess that
the developments are anything but Hat
tering to the Democracy. All the benevo-
lent institutions are most deplorably In
debt Nor is it to be wondered at when
their accounts come to be looked into
am informed that the Lunatic Asylum
contains charge against the State, oi
two hundred gallons of brandy--two hun
dred gallons of wine, and three barrels Of
bourJon whiskey, which shows plainly
that some of the inmates of that institu-
ton are, according to common parlance-
qood drinkers But then the State o.
Ohio can afford to stand treat occasion

Kansas Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, FEBRUARY l6
Governor Shannon leaves here this af-
ternoon, direct for St. Louis thence for
Kansas. He will Immediately remove
his office from Shawnee Mission to Le-
compte, the centre of the prevailing diff,
culties.
Orders will be issued by the War De-
partment this afternoon, and will proba-
bly, be conveyed to Colonel Sumner by
Governor Shannon. They, no doubt,
will be in accordance with the President S
views, as expressed in his special Kansas
message and late pl exclamation, with the
design to enforce them. There are eight
hundred troops at Fort Leavenworth, and
four hundred at Fort Riley.
The Heralds S Washington correspon-
dent telegraphs that letters received by
Governor Shannon direct from Kansas
state that the Free State men are making
extensive preparations for desperate
fight. Munitions of war and men are
constantly arriving from the free States
He anticipates a civil war. The letters
also say they are forti ying at every point.
Large sums Of money have been con
tributed within the last few days by
Southern men to raise and equip compan-
les in the South to send to Kansas.

Mr.. EDIToR:-

NIX. EDlToR.-s
In your last issue you make some
just structures upon the very reprehensi-
Bile conduct oil some fanatical abolition
lists Of Colum biana county, who have Pc
tilioned the Legislature to take the initia-
tory steps toward effecting a. dissolution
of the Union; and with this, the ma tier
might be allowed to drop pand be treated,
as it deserves, with silent contempt, was
it not that the administration party are
attempting to make capital out of it, by
charging it upon the Republicans. and
may succeed in deceivins some who are
unacquainted with the facts in the case.
Now having spent a great portion OF my
life in that county, think l know some
thing about the sentiments Of the Repub-
licans there upon this subject, and have
no hesitation in saying thatthe had no
part in this matter. They as party are
as loyal to this Union as any party in ex-
istence |
But there is another party, or rather
faction Of men, in that county, well organ
lied and supported by an ably conducted
newspaper called the American anti
Slavery Society,"" whose motto is ''No
Union with Shareholders, who direct all
their energies and talents toward adisso-
luton Of the Union. believing as they say
it is the only way to abolish slavery, and
who denounce the Republican party
as severely as do the SO called Democrat
ic party.
The members Of that party neither vot e
nor hold Office, and neither will they take
an oath to support the Consultation Of the
United States under any circumstances.
Theselare the men who are the authors Of
this petition Thus much l thought it
proper to say lest some not being aware
of the existence of such party might
be led estray by the Misrepresentation OF
designing polili' ians and suppose that it
emanated from Republicans.
The Legislature Gid right, think in re-
ceiying referring and rejecting the petit
ton. The right OF petition is sacred to
freemen, and it is not the province of the
Legislative power to dictate the subjects
upon which the people shall mtmorialize
them. In this particular the people should
be allowed the largest liberty, but it is
for the Legislative powers after ascertain
ing the nature of the request, to decide
whether it shall be granted. Yours &c.

A COWARD.

1t is with reluctance that we condescend
to harsh language in regard to our neigh
bors. but the conduct of the publisher of
the "Vindicator" towards US has forced us
to the unpleasant conclusion that he is not
only a base .Sanderer, but COWARD,
also; and we cannot find language any
milder than these two words to express
the opinion at which we have arrived.
If he does not feel disposed to discuss
the question as to. whether what We have
said is true or not, he can see US person
ally, and we will endeavor to give him
the most striking evidence that we are at
least sincere in what We say.

PlERrE,s LAST EFFORT.

EAGA hhCA
The Locofoco party are now engaged
in singing peans OF praise in honor ol
President Pierce's last proclamation
in regard TO Kansas affairs, in witch
he declares that the local laws Of that Ter
ritory must and will be enforced. In
other words, he will use "the whole pow
er of the Executive" to have the laws OF
the bogus Legislature which assembled in
that Territory faithfully executed.
Now suppose We give you a short sy-
nopsis Of TIE laws passed by that Legis-
laturr. for the execution of which "the
whole power Of the federal Executive" is
TO be used. and at the bare prospect Of
which Ohio Lrcofocoism is SO much re-
joiccd-;he same party who told you be-
Gore the election last fall that they were the
honest opponents of the institution of sla.
very. and that the Republicans were ia
naIical MISUNDERSTANDING. Here are
the laws which this liberty toping. Slauery
Aatiag party are determined to have en-
forced, even at the point of the bayonet:
AN ACT TO PUNISH OFFENCES AGAINST
SLAVE PROPERTY
Sec. A. If any persons shall entice de
coy or carry out of Kansas. any slave be-
longing to another. with the intent to de-
privc the owner thereof of such slave he
shall suffer DEATH or be imprisoned at
hard labor for not less than ten yeas.
Sec. 5. Ifany person shall assist in en-
ticing. &C.. las aboye)-shall suffer
DEATH or be imprisoned at hard labor
for not less than ten years.
Sec. 8. Ifany person in this territory
shall aid or harbor any escaped slave
from another State, **
such persons shall be punished in like
manner as if such slave had escaped from
bis master in the territory.
Sec IL. If any person print, write. in
troduae into. PUBLISH or circulate, or cause
to be brought into, printed, written, pub
lished or circulated, or knowingly aid or
assist in bringing into. printing, publish
ing or circulating within this territory,
any book paper, &c., containing any state
ments, doctrines. &c., calculated to pro-
duce disaffection among the slaves of
this territory he shall be punished By an
pr;sonment at hard ia5ot for not less than
fve gears.
Sec. l2 Ifany free persons by speak
ing or writing assert or maintain. that
persons have not the righ: TO hold slaves
in the territory, or shall introduce into
Kansas, print, publish, write circulate. or
cause to be introduced into the territory,
written printed, published or circulated
in this territory, any book, paper, maya
zine, pamphlet or circular, containing
any denial of the rights of persons TO hold
slaves in this territory. SUCH PERSONS
SHALL BE DEEMED GUILTY OF
FELONY AND PUNISHED BY I'M
AT HARD LABOR
FOR A TERM NOT LESS THAN
TWO YEARS
Franklin Pierce says the above bloody
and barbarous code shall be enforced, and
the Locofoco party is heard to cry aloud,
Amen! franklin Pierce expresses his
readiness to call into requisition the Army
aud Nsvy to suppress the liberty Of
speech and of the press in Kansas-rights
which are guaranteed to every citizen of
this Republic by the Constitution Of the
United S:ates-and for this he is now re-
ceiying the Commentator and praise Of
a party claiming to be democratic.
