ton of Slavery in the Territories, which will
probably be delivered this week.
The Government has received no official in
formation Of the recent bloody outrage in Kan
sas, announced by telegraph. Senators have
informally confessed as to the policy of adyis-

to preserve the peace and protect the territory
against Missouri inyasions.
Southern Senators predict that civil war is
inevitable in a short time.
1t has been aSccrtained from an authentic
source,-(is announced by the telegraph from

between Spain, Great Britain and France has
been formally cOnsummated, the first binding

GOVERNOR OF OHIo.-Mr. CHASE was IMAM
gurated Governor of Ohio on Monday. Inhis
inaugural address the slavery question is re-
viewed, and the restoration of the Missouri
compromise is urged as the means by which
the agitation of the subject may be quieted.-
The Governor takes the ground of non-inter-
terence with slavery in the States where it now
exists, but opposition to the extension of that
institution beyond the Missouri compromise
line. He also favors river and haPbor improve
mentS, and in the administration of the affairs
OF the State economy is urged as of the first
importance, A modification of the tax law so
as to allow the deduction of debts from credits
is recommended. The educational interests of
the State and the care Of the deaf and dumb
are recommended to the fostering care of the
legislature An increase of banking capital,
amendments to the constitution, the establish
ment of the single district system, and annual
sessions of the legislature are also recon-
incnueu. - Eef Al ... -- -

Org ANIMATION OF THE n. Y. LEGISLATURE
The Assembly at Albany has organizedb by the
election of ORvIILE RoBISsoS. soft dem, J for
Speaker, and Mr., SHERMAN, (republican,) for
Clerk. The annual message of Gov. CLARK
wasread in both houses. The financial affairs
of the State do not present a very favorable
exhibit, there being a deficiency during the f.
nancial year of upwards of $3.50, 600. The
surplus of canal revenues over the expenditures
is 81, $50, 900. After discussing various local
topics, the Governor closes by an ~allusion to
the Kansas question, denouncing in strong
terms the overthrow of the Missouri Compro-
mise, and expressing a hope that the voice of
New York will again, as heretofore, be unani-
nous in asserting the Jeffersonian policy of
restricting slavery and extending freedom.

sas~ All efforts to effect a union between
the Hards and Softs in New York havingfaiI-
ed, the latter have held another meeting of
their State Convention, adopted pro-slavery
resolutions, and elected a full State delegation
to the National Convention. As the Hards
have already done likewise, the State will have
two rival delegations, contesting the honor of
representing it. JOHN VAN buren, has been
thrown overheard, and his name is not among
the Soft delegates. Before the late State cleo
ton, this same convention adopted anti ebras-
ka and anti-Slavery resolutions for effect in the
antl-Siavery districts of the State, and now
that the election is over, pro-slavery resolutions
are adopted with a view to securing the adj
mission of the delegates to the National Con,
%yentlon. Such is the honesty of partisan
politics.

to make nominations, but to accomplish the

Coz kISSEy.-The star of Col. Kinney Is
said to be on the wanc. His election as Gov
ernor of San Juan, or Greytown, was defeated
by the exertions of the English, and particu-
larly, if the rumor is well founded, by menaces
emanating from an English man-of-war then at
anchor in the harbor. Only six of his men re-
main faithful. The Others have joined Walk
er, but with the understanding that they will
return to him when called for. Moneylcss he
is, too, and in a measure desponding-the wreck
of what he was. Martin, his successful rival,
is entirely under the control of the British, and

gllsh man-or-war to back him in whatever he
undertakes.
