The President. II seems, has heard

Wonder how he heard that. It is all

most Of our readers. We did hear
that Atkinson advised the Georgians
to do so, and one or two Of the legis-
latures in the South have talked Of it,
but nothing Of the kind has been done,
that we have heard Of. When the
thing is done, viii be time enough to

Of course, ineligible, but he will be
80 before the LIST of next January.
and he insists therefore that be will be
eligible by the time he takes his seat
If elected. But there Is q difference
Of opinion about the propriety of his
rnnning as well as his eligibility. even
among his friends. The Terre Haute
Journal. the organ for the Wabash
country. thus discourseth on this sub
ject;
We maintain the opinion that, il he
is not thirty years old at the election,
and should he succeed. and be not tha
old, which fact he admits by implica.
ton, his election would be n nullity.-
On this question. we think the consti.
tuition is plain and pointed. namely.
that no person shall be eligible to that
Office. who has not attained the age Of
thirty years. This unquestionably
refers u the time Of election, and moi
when he is required to act in his posi-.
ton.
If Colonel Walker will not arrive n
the age of thirty by the election 8
fact of which he must be cognizant--
PRUDENCE, AT LEAST, WOULD DICTATE
TO HIM THE PRoPRIErY OF WITHDRAWING
FROM THE CANVASS. There has beer
much said on this matter. and il ap
pears to as that the quicker It is set
tied the better.
We shall not plead the baby act OF
him. but we intend 10 defeat him be
canse he is in favor Of aliens holding
Office, being judges, legislators, &c.
even while owing allegiance to tn
Pope Of Rome or other despois, ant

ST. LOUIS, Feb, 10.
The Leayenworth Herald OF the 9th
says that a pro-slavery meeting was
held there on the Cd. at which it was
determined, as an Offset TO the influ-
ence Of Free State agents sent abroad
to send Geo. w. Mclean to the South
ern States to give to the public there
the pro-slavery aspect Of the case. and
urge Southerners to emigrate to the
Territory to aid in securing Kansas
from the hands of the Abolitionists.
The Herald further says that Robin
son and Brown, Of Lawrence, are do
ing everything possible to bring on the
very civil war they affect to deplore;
and that many Free State men in the
Territory refuse to follow them into
rebellion against Federal authority and
T, rritorial laws.
The Lawrence Herald OF Freedom
aays that Robinson and Lane have
adopted measures of precaution and
organized regiment The forts
there me being guarded day and
night, and munitions Of war collected
in readiness for instant service.
An attack was also expected at To
peka.
The Herald appeals to friends in
the North and East to hold themselves
in readiness to march to the rescue al
moments notice:
The blow may be struck At any
time, the struggle will be in earnest
and the people of Kansas will stand
upon their rights and die bolore they
will surrender"
The Presidents Special Message OF
Kansas seems to have reached Leav'
enworth, but not Lawrence.

This staunch, tined Democrat, Is yet
too honest to change be views 70 ac-
eommodate them to slave-liolder
Bright, and Slaye.catcher Robinson.
He can not see why the constitution
in ie49 required Congress to positive

into free territory endnov "a positive
ly requires Congress to open the way
for It and even refuse to say that set
tlers may prohibit It. as was said in
refusing to incorporate an amendment
to that effect in The bill. In letter
of Jan. ED, he says:--
"Morc than a quarter OF a century

zeal astronomers of "the past two

He then goes on to unmaslS tbe
humbug of "squatter sovereignty" as
exempli6ed by the Nebraska BILL
We will only give short extract;
''Let US see what popular rights OF

All the officers Of two of the tire,

Bad Men.

The most fearful arguments Of the

ithets given TO those who dare to OPP
pose its schemes. Neither age. nor
standing, nor calling, nor character

pro-slavery and pro- Catholic schemes.
