HOW THEY FLTUTER I

Messrs. Burke. Burthe, and Michel have
published card addressed to the "People of
New Orleans and the State of Louisiana" in
which n aborcd attempt is made to shsw that
they have been unjnstly dealt with in being
unscated in the State Senate, and Mcssrs Nv.
ans, st. Paul and Withcrs admitted to the
places which they had occupied. Something
OF this kind had been expected, but it was
not thought, we venture TO say, that gentle
men would In their effort to show the Justice Of
their claim to seats in the senate, notwitli-
standin. the scenes of murder, riot, and def
ance OF all law by the hands Of ruiliaus who
acted with their party on the day of election,
and the utter disregard Of the obligations of
their oaths by most Of their party commission.
crs Oh that OCCASION descend so far from the
rules Of propriety as to speak of their judges
in the senate chamber in this wise
:" Weappcal, therefore, from the decision Of
a body in which party spirit appears to have
snpplanted all ideas of justice, all regard for
law and cqnity, to that higher tribunal whose
sober Judgments are never perverted by those
passions which demagogues aud partsans too
often allow to direct their decisions"
Such is the language applied by these men
to the acts of those men who were clothed by
the state constitution with the sole RIGHT OF
Judging of the election, qualifications, and re-
turn OF all persons claiming seats in their
body. Such is the attempt of Mcssrs. Burke
Bnrthe and Michel, to east odium upon the
conduct AMI motives Of men who are rot
only their equals in every thing that goes to
make up the character of honorable gentlemen.
but who, in this case, were acting not only
under the solemn sanction of their oath as SEN
ators. but also under full and clear sense of
the responsibility which they would incur by
their course on the subject matter of their
action.
1t is not our purpose at present to enter
into n rcrntaton of the positions taken by
Messrs, Burke, Burthe, and Michel, in their
appeal" from the judgment of those who I'M
qnestionably had the right to decide upon their
claims ; nor to enter into any defence of the
grounds upon which the ''demagogucs and par
tizans'-to use the very decent and respecta-
bic language Of the signers of tie card-based
their decision in their cases. The report of
the committee on elections in the senate, as
well as all the evidence in the matter, will be
laid before the people; and we do not hest
tate, from the knowledge we have been able
to CLEAN as to their contents, to say that they
will Garry conviction as to the justice and pro-
prety Of the decision to the minds of all i'm
partial and just citizens, and the attempt of
the unscatcd members TO iorestal public opin-
ion IN the matter, will meet with deserved con
demaaton, not only from the people Of New
Orleans, and Louisiana, but also from those of

PRESIDENT PIERcEs MESSAGE ON KAN
sAs AFFAIRs.-The following is a synopsis
of the Message received in the U. s. Senate
on the 24th inst, from the President Oh the
state of affairs in Kansas.
lie urgently recommends the adoption Of
such measures as the exigcncy seems to re-.
quire. The organization of the territorial
government Of Kansas had been attended
by scrions difficulties and embarrassmcnts,
arising partly from the local administration,
and partly from unjustiliable interference
from the inhabitants of some States with
views foreign to the interests and rights of
Territory. The Governor, instead of main
tanning constant vigilance in the exercise
Of his duties, allowed his attentions 10 be
deviatcd from his official obligations by
other ohiccts-himsclf setting an example
Of violation Of law and duty which impcllcd
the President to order that officers removal.
The Message alludes to misdircctcd zeal
Of propaganda emigration, and the clash
ing of slavery and anti-slavcry interests. as
the cause of mischief and emphatically de.
nounces the effects to anticipate or force
Instrumentation Of that question in this Incl.
pient State. The first Legislative Assembly
was for all practical purposes lawful BODY.
1t condemns the formation Of free State
constitution. The movement was rcvolu-
Ilonary in its character; but if it reaches
the point OF organized resistance to the con
authorities, ii will bccomca trca-
'onable instruction, and then it becomes
.he duty ofthc General Government to sup
Dress it.
The message concludes by SAYING that if
he inhabitants Of Kansas shall desire
State Constitution, and there shall be sur.
icient numbers for the purpose the proper
course will be to form Constitution: ana
recommends the enactment Of law 10 that
effect. The President advises special APP
preparation to detlay any expenses which |
may become requisite in execution of the
laws and the maintenance Of public order
in the territory.
The message was referred to the Com
nittee on the Judiciary.
