The Union, discussing "the self-styled
State of Kansas" says:
"Tbere are givipgs-out by some of the news
caterers that the black republicans propose to
shift the issue op the slavery question once
more. Having the control of the Committee
on Territories in the House, the plan is said
10 be to have a bill reported from that COM
mittee for the immediate admission of Kansas
as State with the constitution lately adopted
by the revolutionary party, and on this ques-
ton to 60 into the presidential election This
will be only an apparent shifting of the Issue
II is an appeal to Congress to sanction q pro-
eeeding not only toihhont law, but directly
against law. To admit Kansas as State un.
der the circumstances will be to decide that
party consisting Of only portion of polit-
ical community may organize to resist the
constituted authorities, and, in defiance of the
laws OF the Territory, may claim to have their
illegal proceedings sanctioned by admission
into the Union as State. 1t will be observed
that the claim for admission involves either
an open rebellion against the government
provided for the Territory by Congress, or
that the government so provided, and the laws
passed by 1T, are absolutely null and void.
To admit the self-styled State on the first
ground il to sanction rebellion. To admit it
on the second ground it to concede that part
OF community may assume to nullify its
government and its laws, and upon that as
sumption found valid claim to place in the
Union as State: The proposition to admit
Kansas now made is without precedent and
against law. If the black republicans choose
to stand upon this issue they will find the
democracy as firmly united for their over
throw as on any other phase of the Kansas
question that they may adopt. Kansas can
never be State except in accordance with
law, and with constitution fairly adopted
by vote Of all the inhabitants of the Terri
tory"
What the Union says relative to the pur.
pose of the Republicans in the approaching
canvas is in accordance with the prevalent UT.

republish the following extract from the Kan.

PALERMO, K. T., March %, 1855.
"The Legislature Of Topeka was a miser.

are hiding themselves from judicial processes
like frightened ostriches. Some have fed to

then, too, the accession of population from

The Inteilisencey comments on the inten-
sity with which the Cuban junto have gone
into Cersiai America illibustering, and quotes
the zee ID orication of the New York Sur
the julto's avowed organ-over the reception
OF the junto's chief, Goicuria, in Central
America. With reference to the Suns an
nolncement tina. it has received official der.
patches" from that individual, the IntslLi-
ssneH says:
We are given already to understand what
part eenor Goicuria, the distinguished Gu
ban hlibuster, is expected to play in Cen
trail America, in conjunction with General
Walker; but, since the semi official exponent
OF the Cuban Junto significantly intima tes
that 1t has received official dispatches in
which there Is more than il chooses to reveal
at present, we are left to infer that more is
meant by General Goicuria's accession to the
standard OF Walker than meets the eve in the
mere announcement Of the fact. What the
mystery is, we of course have no means of
solving when the oracle is silent. II can
hardly tall, however, to occur to any who is
disposed to forecast the possible eventualities
OF the movement now attracting attention in
central America that il may grove ONLY a
side scene In that drama of manifest des-
tiny which has the liberation of Cuba for its
contamination. 1t is intended to make Of
Central America a point d'appu, OF basis of
operations against the ever faithful island .
Will the Cuban Junto henceforth transfer
their headquarters from New York to the cap
tal OF Nicaragua, under the Rivas-Walker
administration Is this the mystery which
the New York Sum does not choose to reveal
at present p -
for some time past We have been showing
the ultimate destination of the mass of Walk
srsfOrces to be Cuba. Our respected cotsmpc-
rary must wipe its spectacles. Its organ Of
perception is becoming very dull indeed.
