Presidential Campaign.

! This will open with the nomination to be
made by the slave democracy next month
Who the men viii be, that will have the
high honor of bearing the black flag of slave
ry in the coming contest, cannot be gussed
|. There is three corneredfgh for the nom
ination between Pierce, Douglas and Bu-
chanan, The latter does not yet appear
personally in the ring, as he has not yet re-
turned from Europe. The two former, like
buyers at Slave action, are endeavoring to
outbid each other for the favor of the South.
There course shows conclusively that they
consider it only necessary to have the sup
port of the shareholders. The North they
do not seek to propiate. They believe that
with the whole South, and one or two States
at the North, which they expect to carry by
slipping in between the Republicans and
Knownothings, they can succeed. Hence
Pierce utters his proclamations in support
of the Missouri laws, stepped in blood and
oppression, which sham Legislature has
extended over Kansas Hence Douglas
RACES in the Senate, and in the spirit of Lu-
cifer assaulting the battlements of heaven,
defantly shouts to the hosts of freedom,
awe will subdue you" Go in gentlemen;
but you can't win. God has not yet for
saken this nation, as he must assuredly do,
when your schemes to make slavery exten-
sion our national policy, shall succeed. We
think it highly probable that when the
Democratic convention meets, it will take
up some small potato politician of the
Pierce breed; but but one thing we will
"srbitrate" hat on; viz, that whoever he
is, he will first fall down and worship the
image which the stockholders have set up.
In the mrantime, the Republican cause
gains strength every hour. All things in
dicate that candidate and a platform
will be adopted, which will unite in an un-
host, all the friends of freedom.
as yet indicates who the man for
the "good time coming" will be; nor is the
man of much account. The CAUSE will
bear up the man, not the man the cause.

DUMB.-Some time since, on the floor of
the House, Mr.. Washburn of Maine
asserted, on the authority Of a cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, that
President Pierce before he removed Gov.
Reeder proposed to him, if he would re-
sign his government of Kansas, he would
give to him first class miSsion-either that
to China OF to England. Mr.. Washburn
said at the time that he personally knew
nothing of the facts, but as Gov. Reeder and
the parties were now all in Washington, it
was good time to test the truth of a story
that seemed to rest on something better
than common rumor which he himself be-
Iieyed; and called on the Washington
Union, the Presidents organ, to deny the
charge and dare the proof.
The Union sleeps over the challenge un-
til the oath inst, when it wakes up to the
consciousness that something must be done
1t insists that its attention had only Just
been called to the @report, puts on its
dignity and declines to notice mere news
paper charges, but proposes he al
ready knew could not be done-that if Mr..
Washburn will assume the responsibility Of
the charge or will specify respectable
voucher" for the SANDER, it will stoop to
treat it with something more than asilent
contempt" Indeed
We now may understand that the Union
considers it discreet not to disturb this old
story. Of course. if Gov. Reeder was fit
for a foreign mission of the first class, there
was a reason, aside from his unftDeSs, for
his removal from the Government of Kan
sas. The acknowledgement shows the cor
rupt motives that guide the Executive ac-
ton in this case, and which it may fairly be
has governed the Administration
in all this business. The people should
take notes Of these significant facts.

Slaves fOrKansas,

The Highfyer, in this morning from
Louisville, brought between fifty and sixty
slaves, belonging to families who are on
their way from Kentucky to Kansas. The
slaves who came in the Higkfyer consisted
of persons of all ages, sexes and shades of
color, and were a good looking, well dressed
and apparently well fed party, and came as
cabin passengers. Since the opening of the
river, full 500 slaves have arrived from the
Ohio river on their way to Kansas.
The j. H. Lucas took up nearly 100, the
Star OF tie West 100, the Chambers so
to rs, and almost every boat that has start
ed up the Missouri river since the opening
of the river, has taken larger or smaller
number. The slaves are in almost every
ease taken into the cabin, while poor white
families, going to the same place, take pas
sage below or on deck Ono gentleman
from South Carolina, who with his family,
went up in the Star of the West last week
had 80 slaves in the cabin, and another 80
and still another had 20.-St, Louis News,

The Kansas Commission.

Mr.. L. D. Campbell, originally appoint
ed chairman of the commission, has de-
clined serving, and Mr.. Sherman, also Of
this State, has been appointed in his stead.
The country will look with eager anxiety
for the report of this commission. One eff
feet of it will be to prevent any further
raids into Kansas from Missouri. The fire
caters will hardly venture to repeat their
villanies in the very presence of commits
sion sent out to inquire into their past mis-
deeds. tits reported that the President
only waits favorable opportunity to pro-
nounce his condemnation of this inyestiga-
ton. We hope tho opportunity may come.
A proclamation against an inquiry into the
frauds and outrages which have been COM
mitted in Kansas, would furnish proper
finale to those which have already appeared.
We are more and more confident that Kan
sas will be free State. Settlers are pour
ing in. The free State emigrants outnum-
Der those from Slave States ten to one; ev-
cry man is provided with shooting iron"
and knows how to use it.

The SehooILaw.

The House of Representatives, on Satuf-

took up the bill to amend the School Law,
and after discussion, in which Mr. VAN
Worries opposed any present change, and
Messrs. JOHNSTON, of Cuyahoga, HATCHER
and HAMILTON, of Belmont advocated the
abolition of the Library provision. The
Committee rose and reported the bill back
with an amendment, striking out section
and inserting House bill, No. 1S6, to abol-
ish the Libraries and the Office of Commits

The bank sin.

We see that this bill has called forth
structures from various parts of the State
There is a general agreement that the
amount Of capital is fixed at too high fig
ure, that there is no equality as between
the system for the bank of Ohio, and that
for independent banks, and that the securi-
ty for the issues of the of the bank of Ohio
Is insufficient. 1t appears to us that the
certain effect of this bank bill will be to
throw the whole business of banking in this
State into the hands of large capitalists
The result of such system will be that it
viii be managed by some single controlling
influence, which will consult its own profit
regardless of public good. On the other
hand, if the system was 50 constructed,
that men of moderate means could enter
into it. it would not bepossible to unite all or
any considerable number of these banks in
a plan for expansion or contraction; but
the variety of interests would operate, as in
all other branches of business, to the end of
regulating the action of each to the laws of
trade. The question is really this: Is it
better to have a system like that proposed
for the bank Ohio, practically uniting under
one management and capable of exercising
controlling influence over the business of
the State; or system which leaves each
bank to conduct its own business as it pleas
es, but with its notes so secured that in any
event their redemption is certainl We
acknowledge a strong preference for the lat
ter system. The laws of trade can regulate
the supply of currency much more wisely
and effectually than board of control
Legislators, in the plenitudo of their wis
dom, may think they can devise a system
that will operate better than one governed
by the course of trade. They mightas well
attempt to regulate the quantity of rain and
sunshine by statute, which we have no
doubt they feel perfectly competent to do.
1t is our misfortune to entertain a less ex-
altcd opinion Of legislative wisdom. When
it is found expedient or practicable to place
the mercantile business of tho State under
a board of control, we shall be ready to ad-
NIT the same necessity for the business of
banking, and not before. The secret of this
urgent desire to concentrate a controlling
influence over the currency of the State in
The hands of a few, is the wish to use the
power for selfish purposes. The people
ought to condemn such a system and we
hope they will. =
