Bleeding Kansss,i

What is the reason ..iat we hear so littl,
said IN the Fusion papers. in reference tc
bleeding Kansas since the Presidential cleo
ton? We signi6ed to our readers some
months since, that we had no hope. that
quiet would be restored to that Il-fated
country. as long as the republican cause
could be furthered, by sacrificing the Ewes
and property of innocent and unsuspecting
persons; large number OF lives have been
lost and an immense quantity of property
has been destroyed, in order TO elect John
C-.Fremont President. 1t occurred to Gree
ley, Bennett. Seward, Giddings, &c, that
ii they could keep up civil war in Kansas
and charge the whole difficulty on the
Democracy. in consequence of the repeal
OF the Missouri Compromise, and raise the
cry Of Fee Men, Free Kansas, and FIRE.

TEXAS has increased very rapidly in popula
ton of late years. In the year 1850 the census
gave it 2l2.592 inhabitants. At the Presiden
tial election in 1852 the total vote cast was IS,
547. As the population had increased consider
ably in the period between 1850 and 1852, it
must then have been near 10000. This would
be in the ratio of about one vote to every six
teen inhabitants. If there had been no increase
in the population the ratio would have been about
one voter to every eleven inhabitants. At the
election held recently in Texas no less than As.
547 votes were poilrd. Applying the first ratio
to this we should have population of 72s,752,
being three times the aggregate of the popula.
ton in 1850. Taking the lower ratio the total
would be 50l0l7, so that in any case. tho az
gregate at this time must exceed half million.
This is an astonishing increase and evnces that

In the not improbable event of the next Presi-
DENTAL election going into the House of Repre-
sentatives, it is some satisfaction to deduce from
the late election of Speaker the mpossibility Of
any Black Republican candidate for the Presi
dency being able to carry majority of the cleo
toral votes ms cast by the states. There are 81
states, casting 296 electoral votes. Banks OBJ
tanned the votes OF la states--and a numerical
vote on the last ballot Of lob. Ito this satter
we add the two electoral votes which each of
these states would be entitled to cast in Presi-
Dental election. the result would be l32-sepen-
teen less than would be necessary to n choice,
and leaving it in the power of the anti Black
Republicans TO elect, provided. the Democrats
would not again take position of insolen' and in
sulting exclusivcness, and provided,further that
they did not again bring forward candidate
who advocates squatter sovereignty.
