Important News from Washington-The
New Kansas Compromise.
Our special advices of last evening from Wash
ington, upon the Kansas question, are very curl
Gus and of the highest moment 1t appears that
the Senate bill of Mr.. Toombs, adopted by Mr.
Douglas, was not the result of hasty conclu-
sion, but of deliberate and comprehensive
scheme; that the administration is a party to
the movement; that Mr.. Buchanan is thoroughly
identified with it, and freely consents to the ces-
sion of Kansas to the South as a slaveholding
State, in consideration of the advantages which
this new compromise is to secure to himself and
the democratic party in this Presidential cam
paign.
Our correspondent says that there are two
leading objects involved in this BILL each of the
greatest importance-that the first is to remove
to leave Fremont and the Northern free State
agitators without visible excuse for complaint
This, it is supposed, may be done by bill so
fair, impartial and conservative in its provisions
and regulations that the most rabid free soiler
while, on the other hand, it may he used by the
Northern democracy as a splendid illustration
of the disinterested patriotism of the demo-
cratic party. Thus much for the North. In
the second place, it is understood that the
agents and discretionary power of the Pre-
sident in the execution of this new law,
are 10 be given him for the express
purpose of securing pro-slavery State Conven-
ton in Kansas, pro-slavery State constitution,
and the admission of the Territory into the
holding State.
1t further appears that the Presidential esti-
mates Of the democratic politicians at Washing
ton, from the passage Of this bill, are very
encouraging. 1t is supposed that in shutting out
the present Northern Kansas agitation this bill
win give a new impetus to the cause of Mr.
Buchanan In this section, and leave the Fremont
party tub without bottom to stand upon.
Meantime, 10 make all sure in the South, the
arrangements with the Fillmore Know Nothing
members for the passage Of the bill comprehend.
it seems, the adoption of these gentlemen into
the ranks Of the first creditors Of the democratic
party, in the event Of Mr. Buchanan's election.
II does not appear to be considered necessary
that the Fillmore party Of the South shall be
turned over to the democracy. All that Mr.
Toombs and Mr. Douglas ask il the vote for
their bill Of the Fillmore members Of the House
for without their support the democracy are as
powerless in the House as are Seward and
Sumner in the Senate.
Let the bin pass. As measure for quoting
the Kansas excitement and for securing TO the
South balance Of power in the senate--we re-
peat it-let the bill pas. Remove this Kansas
trouble out Of the way. and the Fremont move
ment will be rapidly extended throughout every
state in the Union. upon the more practical plat
form Of hostility to this Pierce administration it,
demoralizing eorruptions its rapacious spoils-
men, and their wasteful expenditures Of the pub
lie money. By reducing the issue to question
between a new administration. new men, and new
measures, against the perpetuatou Of this Pierce
dynasty. and its domestic coruptions and ruiian-
ism and foreign Gbusterisrn. the Fremont party
would Nc able TO make a much more vigorous
campaign than upon the single issue Of Kansas
aud the border rutfians.
With these views. We cheerfnlIy recommend
the passage by the House Of the new Kansas
compromise Of Mr.. Toomhr Mr.. Douglas. Mr.
Pierce Mr. Forney and Mr. Buchanan.
