That Mr.. Douglas, the great originator of the
Squatter Sovereignty fraud and the Border Rafisu
invasion and subjugaton of Kansas, should think
the present Government Of Nicarsgus-that is to
say, the fillibuster legitimate, and
our own Government greatly to blame for not
acknowledging it as such, is perfectly consistent.
Why Government that backs up "Sherif" Jones
and the Border Rufians in Kansas, should hesitate
to acknowledge Walker in Nicaragua, s by no
means easy to see and in the race after Southern
votes, President Pierce followed Mr.. Douglas s
lead in the case, we do not perceive how he can
well escape do ng it in the oiher-unless, indeed,
General Walker should save him from that Reces-
sity by resigning his Office.
Had not Walker just as good right to offer his
services to the Democratic party" of Nicaragua

Pierce and Douglas party in Kansas in organizing

basis And are not he and his illibusters just as
much citizens Of Nicaragua, and entitled to rule
that State, as the Missouri invaders were citizens
of Kansas, and entitled to choose a Legislature

A correspondent resident on the spot, who has
personal knowledge of the fact, being himself a
Missourian, informs US that land in Missouri, twen-
ty.6ve miles from Keokuk in Iowa, and looking to
that town for market, can be bought for 50 an
acre. in any quantity while land no better is worth
in Iowa, at the same distance from KeOkuk, $15
to $50 an acre. Seventeen dollars an acre as q
tax to support the institution of Slavery is
pretty liberal, ard in a good many instances
sublimey disinterested, too, as the owners Of the
land very often own no slaves, and have the ad-
dtiOr al modification Of being looked down upon as
an infericr class by those who do.

FROM KANsAs.

We publish variety Of letters from Kansas,
mainly from our own correspondents, bringing
down our advices from Lawrence and Leaven'
worth to the day after the shooting Jones claiming
to be Sheriff Of Douglas County under an appoint
from the bogus Legislature. These accounts sho"
that this outrage was the act Of some unknown
miscreant, and is utterly condemned by the Free
State party, who offer no resistance and VIII sunet
none to be made, to any process served by Federai
officers, or emansting from Federal authority
They cannot recognize the bogus Legislature as
valid, for they know it was constituted BY INVASION
vioi nee, and spurious voting; but they will obey
any precept, ally mandate, which emanates from
the Federal Government, whose authority they
recognize as supreme.

BOUNTY LAND LAws-KANsAs DEBATE.

From Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, May I, 1856.
Tie new Bounty Land bill went through the
House to-day by heavy majority. The fifth and
sixth sections Of the Senate's amendments were
struck out These sections refer to various extern
sive classes of meritOrious individuals whom it
seems hard to exclude from the now long and COM
prehenkiye list of the benefciaries Of Government
Among these classes thus excluded are those who
have olacked the boots, lighted the candles, or
copied the letters of subOrdnates on board Of rev.
erue cutters cruising during some one Of our late
blcody wsrr, that of Greytown We presume includ-
ed. And also stil ranker injustice y all that large
class OF individuals on our frontiers who have been
told, at one time or another, that Indians were
lurking round the settlements watching . chance
for pur der, and that they must look out; and like
wise all other fellows in every direction who have,
at one time or another, been told TO have their FIRE
locks Ieady against armed invasion from some
bloody foreign nation. Why these men,
who are our fellow. citizens, and entitled to the
thanks Of a grateful country equally with
other classes provided for by these gratuities Of
public lands should suffer this marked injustice at
the hands Of Congress, seems hard TO comprehend.
1t Is TO be hoped that another bill to be introduced
at no distant day, may right their unparalleled
wrongs. Indeed, We hope bill may not be long
wanting which shall include every fellow who is
willing to swear that he ever saw bloody for.
eigner, or ever had shot at red skin, whether
man, squaw, or baby; or who, in short, ever
pulled trigger with his gun aimed in the direction
OF any foreign country, across any Indian trails
1t is high time that something eompreIensire was
done On this bounty land business. The rewards of
that heroic patriotism 20 gloriously dis3layed in

Unless soon admitted under her Free Stste Con
stitution, she must succumb to her invaders ant
prosecutors, backed a. they are by the Army
Treasury and Judiciary Of the Union. At present
We find the Slavery Party deliberately provoking
collision with the Free-Stsse men in Lawrence, bj
sending bogus officers into that city to serve pro
cess under the authority an b acts of the Missour
invaders Territorial Legislature, which it is noto
rious that he Free State men hold TO be fraudulent
and invalid. 1t is plain that the Slavery party in
KaDsas and in Western Missouri determined
on provoking collision, in the hope of thereby
breaking up and defeating the investigation which
the House Of Representatives has ordered and
initiated.
"ShaH Kansas be Free State7r Her people
desire it; her Convention has decreed it; good
faith and our country's good name among nations
copspire 10 demand it. To subjugate her now to
Slavery would expose the American Union to the
extcraticns of the liberal just and humane through
out the world. Yet to save her, the Federal Ad-
ministration must be changed the Senate improved,
ard she admitted into the Union as free and
sovereign State. BY no other means do We see
how she is to be saved from the pit which Atchison
& Co. have dug for her, and in which Pierce and
Douglas are plainly eonspiring to engulf her.
Why not, then, make her immediate Admission
as Free State the sole question before the pub
lie, until such Admission is accomplished! Are
not her and our adversares plainly grati6ed
whenever they can entce us into discussions of the
Fugitive Slave Act and all manner Of distractions
respecting Slavery Shall we be weaker for any
other conflict after we shall have fought and won
the battle of Kansas, adding her to the number of
Free States Can we better refute the slang
which makes us the associates and " worshipers' of
rsgroes than BY fighting the battle of Free State
which, through no act or purpose of ours is des
tined for the homes Of white people only Can We
make any issue so fit or 30 favorable as that which
looks to the fate of Kansas alone
Other questions must have prominence in due
order. Let US fret grapple with and dispose Of
this one. The simpler and clearer the PROPOSE
ton on which We take issue before the people, the
more speedy and Certain must be our triumph
And beside, :: is always advisable, where practical
Jie, to do one thing at q time.

mschipstious, will suffice TO defeat the investiga
ton directed by the House Of Representatives.
If the Bor... s-Rufian officials Of Kansas are
anxious to give their pretended authority an airing
We can tell them how they may do il without dan
ger to themselves, without any risk Of provoking
opostiOn from the Free-State men, and with the
e neral appreciation of the whole counry-at least
Of that part Of it who have any respect for law and
order.
Let them arrest the man charged with the mur-
der Of Dow, try him, and if upon the evidence, he
appears to be guilty, hang him, if they choose. We
have no doubt they may 90 even TO this utmost
length of civil authority without meeting with the
least resistance the part of the Free-State set
tiers. Let them take like proceedings against
the three or four other persons-United States
officers included-charged with similar murders,
and hang them too. They will meet with no re-
sistance in all this, We will venture to say, on the
part of the supporters Of the lew State Constitu-
ton.
To pass by these fagrant cases, aud to insist
upon arresting a man charged with the compare
lively trivial Offense of taking prisoner from the
clutches of Sheriff whose authority to act as such
the rescuers did not acknowledge, especially con.
sidering that the man rescued had been guilty Of
no offense whatever, and had been arrested on
false charge made by fugitive murderer-such
proceeding looks much more like desire to pick
quarrel, and to provoke a collision, than to pro-
mote the eRds Of justice. 1t cannot even be said
that "Sheriff" Joness object was to get ajudcial
decision as to his rghtul authority; for as several
of the alleged Iescuers of Branson had long time
ago suffered themselves to be arrested, with the
very intent of trying the question whether Jones
was Sheriff or not that point was already on the
road to an adjudication.
Under these circumstances, the whole procedure
looks like deliberate attempt to get up row and
quarrel, with the intention Of putting obstacles in
the way of investigation by the Congressional Com
mittee, and the fact that body Of United States
troops has been obliged to submit to the miserable
necessity of acting as posse, e1cites strong
suspicion that the whole proceeding was planned

LAND wARRANTS-PANAMA RIOT.


WAsHIKGTOS, Wednesday, April 80, 1856.
There is no SOLID foundation for the statement,
circulated over the country BY telegraph, that
forgeres of land warrants to the extent OF million
of acres had been discovered here; nor indeed, has
any information been received authorizing even
such an impression, except upon the loose knowl-
edge of single fact, which will be explained.
s. me time ago, gang Of the parties who had been
engaged in forging warrants were detected at New
Orleans, and their whole apparatus, with large
stock of warrants in blank, were seized and
destroyed. No pains were taken to ascertain their
nominal aggregate, and the opinion that il repre-
sented a millioa Of acres'-which was casually
e1pressed-was wholly conjectural. This is an
old transaction, and was only revived by refer
ence to some more recent disclosures 10 which it
s not proper to allude at this time.
1t is undoubtedly true that extensive frauds have
been ptrpetrsted, ard that others are now in pro-
gress, to which the attention Of the public author
tiles is actively directed, for sufficient reasons

stimulus of bounties, like the destruction of all
other wild animals. Let these bounty bills then
be multiplied and be brought forward with every
recurring session while an Indian remains on the
continent or foreign nation exists toward wh-ch
blunderbuss can be pointed.
Mr.. Maxwell Of Florida made speech on tie
Slavery question after the House went into Com
mittee Of the Whole. Mr. Maxwell recognizes
the fact that the North and South are at odds on
this subject, and Of quite opposite ways of think
ing. He supposes that neither side will give way,
and concludes that endless hostility is insupporta.
Bile He therefore casts about to 6nd some IN ,de
of harmonizing these discordant opinions. He
thinks he finds it in common consent (if all par
ties will euly agree to M that Slavery shall be per-
mitted to 20 into all the Territories. Let but
both sides adopt this reasonable ground and he
concludes the country will be paciScated. We are
very much of Mr.. Maxwell's way Of thinking.
There is small il, however, which prevents the
realization of his very original plan. The North
is not szite ready for the subugation OF both its
ideas and its territory. This, however may
be prejudice it will yet conquer. The
louehmces and Nebraska traitors are max
ing great strain toward this end. Tho
Normsn of the eleventh century conquered the
Saxon, chopped of his hands and put out his eyes,
and sent him out among his countrymen to show
the quality of the copqueror. The Saxon quailed
and submitted-became the slave of the haaghty
Norman, while wife and daughter were prostituted
before his face. 1t is a favorite philosophy OF
Southern gentlemen Of speculative turn OF mind
that the Southern man is the Norman Of our day
and the Northern man the Saxon. In any contest
between them it is confidently anticipated that the
Northern Saxcn's love of cash and quiet will
occasion his peaceable submission to the loftier
and more chvalric Southern Norman. In the
mbiection of the Free States that has been
threatened on the floor Of the Senate, we have not
been told how far the old Norman example is to be
initiated. Thus far it has only been vouchsated to
the plant Saxon to know that he is to be " sub
dued." 1t is to be hoped that he may not excite
agitation, or endanger the Union, or damage trade,
by any improper resistance to bis Predestinate
