The Admini.tra,ior Fostering Civil War,

The singular and most extraordinary spec
tacle is now exhibited in Kansas Of a national
government engaged in fostering civil war.
That il is a most unnatural and Anomalous con-
dilion Of aiTiirs seems not to have impressed IT,
self upon the nation Here are two sets Of
mcn-one from the North, actual settlers; an-
other from the South, actual settlers and inva-
ders. pilled against each other in the settlement
Of the question whether slavery shall, or shall
not, be established in Kansas. 10 this dispute,
while the right is all on one side, and the
wrong all on the other, the president shuts his
eyes TO the nature of the question and the rela-
tive position of the parties, and, with his army
in the territory, proposes "to let them fight il
out" Ia other words, while his duty is to
protect the right and protect the actual settlers
10 their rights, he proposes IN stand calmly by,
and see the people cut each others threats.
Do you say that this is severe charge 1t
is not nearly as bad as he has beeo doing
Time was when he held the hands Of the free
state men and let the others murder and plum.
der them. That was so d1mnably worse that
people could not fully appreciate the iniquity
Of it, BY elcvaIing it toward decency, to the
point Of our charge, lis horrible nature is more
readily comprehended, and a shock is the re-
suit. The facts in the case are that Gen. Smith,
when he took the command Of the United States
troops, had special orders not 10 interfere. He
is to stand by and lei them fight it out. The
conversation recently held betweeo Mr.. Army
aud Sydney Webster, the presidents private
secretary, will be well remembered. He said

This, Mr.. Editor, is grave charge; which, III true,
ought to overwhelm our town and village with de

few organized bodies Of men could have stopped to
notice such conduct without serious de,riment to
their self-rsspscs and dignity much less would
they seek to implicaie village, or rival political
party in an insult. which they well knew was con-
fined to few irresponsible individuals. But the
fact is our good Democratic friends were in an IN
happy frame Of mind. and hence peculiarly suseep-
lible to insult. Everything had gone wrong with
them. Their magnificent gathering. that vas to be.
had dwindlei into q mere handfal Of sOrrovful
disciples, and their imposing array Of eloquent
and distinguished speakers had met with q still
more melancholy collapse. In short, their whole
demonstration, gotten up with such labor and e.
pense. which, it was bOastingly announced, was to
satisfy the dsmagogues that the people are for
Freedom without Fremont" was miserable
failure. Hence their disposition to quarrel with
everything and everybody. They were determined
to be insulted,- whether or no. In this frame q
mind they fell into the pit dgged by Atkins, and
thus "aided fool in his folly"

The political news from California is Of the
most cheering character. The Republican
movement is going ahead with astounding ra-
pidiy. The position Of the BUCCANEERS IN
the Pacific railroad projeci is a blow TO the
party there, against which there is no making
progress All are in favor of The rairoad,--
The defeat of the bill for admitting Kansas
with the Topeka constitution will operate ter
ribiy against The BUCCANEERS, and very little
doubt is expressed tina, Fremont will carry the
state by an immense majority.

this offer was met by responsible parties pre-

Much of the remaining portion Of his speech
was given to laudaiion Of the administration

for some augme ntation Of food. A slight
increase of temperature, or the irritating
influence Of insects. will effectually di
minish the milk Of Il COW. and indicate
the propriety OF increasing the amount of
fodder.
Duniug his experiments on feeding
mich cows. he found that the milk Of one

DAY previous, and that it takes at least
Is hours for the LEGISLATIVE organs of the
COW to fully take up all the nutritive mat
