Kansas.
We give the following extract from a letter
received by one of our compositors from a rela.
tive who went out to Kansas with Major Bu-
fords company :-MontgQmery (Ala.) Journal,
-Four Miles SoufhS6f Kansas City,
June %, 1856.
have been through the "wars" in Kansas
Territory, and am now perfectly tired out.
have been in one battle and several skirmshes,
without receiving any personal injury, except
a slight bruise received from my horse falling
on me when he was killed from under me; but
received three bullet holes through my hat and
had "tub full" Of Sharpe's balls to whiz
around me. have killed two of the "dogs"
and Cosgrove one.
The United States troops will not permit us
to enter the Territory armed any more, and
hence Othellos occupations gone" / am
coming South just as soon as ] can make a
"raise."
Buford's expedition is unfortunate. His
men are scattered all along the frontier trying
to make money enough to carry them back
to Old Virginia"
This is undoubtedly the finest country in the
world, without any exception; and if some of
our wealthy shareholders were to visit it once
they would emigrate with all their household.
The South ought to send 10000 men here
this fall well armed and provisioned, If she
don't begin to stir her stumps" Kansas will
be a free State sure, j. +. 8.

The struggle in which our Mexican neighbors ATE
at present engaged is not only Of vast interest "
themselves, but one in which they have ought to
have the best sympathes Of the rest Of the civil
lied world Mexico, so far as reates to the tenure
and ownership of her landed properly, stands now
n much the same position in which England and
the European Continent generally stood previous to
the Reformation. A large par. Of the lands, and
the best of them, belong to the Church, and an
insuperable obstacle is thus placed in the way of
that free circulation Of landed property so essen
tul TO its improvement aid the development of ITS
resources.
1t is unjust to stigmatize the recent measures Of
the Mexican Government as a cOnfscatOn of the
property Of the Church. 1t is no more confscs-
tion than the measure adopted rome years since by
the Erslish Government in relation to tithes wac
cop6scation of the properly Of the English Church.
Seeing how much the psyment OF tthes stood IN
the way of landed improvement the English Gov
eminent conyere ed the tithe into rent charge,
taxing the current amount of the titoe as the stand
ard of value BY which this rent charge was to be
determined. This ia very much the same thing
that the Mexican Government has done or proposes
to do with the property Of the Mexican clergy.
Under the recent law on that subject should 1t be
fully carried into effect, the Church indeed would
no longer be proprietor Of the land, but it wonld
still retain Len upon the land In the nature Of a
III, gage for the value at which 1t was transferred
TO tie ne proprietoIs, and the interest upon this
debt would still furnish revenue 10 the clergy not
ma eria y less than III It wacl the, enjoy at pes

of the consequences of Fremont's election. and
then urging that Fremont could only be defeated
By supporting Fillmore or Buchanan a. the case
nisht be. But Mr.. Chase cannot be ignorant that,
lorg before Fremont was nomiH sted-befere the
Republican party was formed, in fact" the Negro
question" was thus made football between the
rival parties in the South. We can recollect
Southern assaults on J. Q. Adams aud Clay, a. long
ago as 1878, for appointing John Sergeant, q
Missouri Restricticb list, an Envoy TO Panama. In
le2s. 10 State south Of the Potomac gave vote
for any man who lived north Of that river for either
President or Vice President. In 1896 and lS40
Mr.. Van Buren, was fercely assailed IS unsOuud on
the Slavery question, and lost the votes of some
Southern States on that ground. In 1884, Mr..
Clay was denounced as an AbOlitionist, because he
opposed the acquisition of Texas at the time aid
in the manner proposed. In ls4s, both parties
tried to make capital at the South out
of the Negro question:" but the Wings
made the most of i. by supporting an
extensive STAKEHOLDER against an eminent dough
face. In 1852, the Democrats ran the ebony line
out of sight ahead by supporting thorough dough
face against one who had voluntarily ceased to be
STAKEHOLDER and had not begun to be doughface.
And in 1856, the two "Natioual" parties each
tried to carry the South BY proving its candidate
mole consistently and thoroughly dOughface than
the other, and showing that the others success
would undermine the foundations Of Slavery. Be.
yond this, they each undoubtedly shook the raw
head and ratified the bloody bones Of Abolition in
the Others face, insisting that Slavery would be
upset if Fremont were elected, and that Fremont
would be elected if the South did not rally one
man to the support of Buchanan Cor Filmore).
Thus the demagogues of either party imbued the
ignorant slaves mind with the notion that Ere mont
was the Abolition candidate and that his election
would insure their freedom. Now that the mis-
chief is apparent they generally try to saddle it on
the backs of the Fremonters; but that is not just.
The two Pro-Slavery parties fred red-h,t shot at
each other and now that they have set each Others
houses on FIRE, they want to charge the eosfasra-
ton on us. 1t won't do.

The Hon. Lucien b. Chase, formerly a Demo
cratic Member Of Congress from Tennessee, and of
late Democratic lawyer and politician in this city,
writes to The Mirror his view Of the recent al
legged slave instruction in his old Congressional
District, from which we extract the following Mr..
c. premises that Tennessee has for many years
been almost equally divided in politics, and has all
along been very ardently and laboriously contest
ed. until almost every white man has the Bank,
Sub Treasury, Tariff, Public Land and kindred
questions at his tongues end, and even " something
"more than faint idea of their bearing was OBJ
