distasteful both to Turkey and Russia, and
Austria proposes to maintain her army in
the Danubian Prncipalties so long as the
French and English occupy Turkey.
The Times Viepa correspondent states
on the 21st, that the most strenuous efforts
are now being made TO induce England not
to insist on Russia's disarming the eastern
coast of the Black Sea.
In diplomatic circles complaints are be-
ing made of the inconceivable obstinacy of
Sir Hamilton Seymour in this matter and
it may therefore be concluded that he does
not consider it advisable that Great Britain
should obey the behests of power which
will greatly partake of the profits without
having shared all the dangers.
The Posts Paris correspondent writes
on Thursday evening, that the Vienna Jour
mails confirm the news from ST. Petersburg,
that orders had been sent to the Crimea to
suspend hostilities
The Posts Paris correspondent says that
in all probability Paris will be fixed upon
for the Congress, as the Emperor would
be so near at hand and Lord Palmers on
could attend personally, thus creating con
fidence in France and England.
France was never better prepared for
war, or more determined not to suspend
hostilities until the objects of the struggle
are fully insured, whilst the utmost accord
continues between the cabinets of France
and England.
PARIS, Friday.-It is asserted that the
French government had proposed London
as the seat of Conference, but that the Eng
lish Cabinet prefer they should be held at
Paris, and that Russia has selected Srunow
as her Plenipotentiary, having first ascer-
tanned the selection on the part of France
and England.
/ The Times correSp ondent writes that pri-
vate letters from st. Petersburg, dated Jan
Il. state the Car has decided formally that
the Austrian propositions were to be the ba-
sis of ulterior pacific negotiations, and fol-
the present may be considered as the pre-
liminares OF peace among the diplomatic
body and the Court. Peace was regarded
as inevitable, and unconditional acceptance
of the propositions had produced consider
able sensation in that capital
With the exception of The officials, this
sudden return to pacific ideas was general
ly badly received, not only by the old Mus
covitc party, but also by the mass of tho
people.
The popular fana,icism had been raised
to such pitch after the fall of Sevastopol
that at the present time it is a work of diff
Guilty to make them accept a political ar
rangemnt as necessary or desirable for Eu
rope. The public mind was in a state OF
ferment, and an outbreak would not be sur
prising

Should this be the case, land we think it
cannot be doubted) it will be necessary
for us to select one Of our best men; one
who has experience and the entire conf
dence OF the party We have not seen the
name of any person suggested, nor heard
ofany asprants for the nomination.
We prefer letting older paper lead of
IN such cases, but as we are ON the subject,
We will IN this instance name the man oil
our choice, individually for the present
campaign. We can think of no man, I'M
der al the circumstances, who would be
more suitable in our opinion, than the Hon
c. W. CATucART, of La Porte County
He has served several years in the Legis-
lature of our State, and in Congress, and
is one Of our old settlers; his character is
irreproachable, and his talent unquestiona-
bic. We generally prefer ~ Dung Amer
ica,' but for the present campaign we pre-
fel a veteran in the cause of Democracy
We should be much gratitied to see him
(ikc Cincinnaius) taken from the pillow tC
serve his country.

The sentiment Of our people is to leave
the settlement of these questions To the
people of Kansas, who are actual citizens
of the Territory. If this cannot be brought
about, if influences are at work which rem
der this impossible, the remedy is not to be
found by others unlawfully interfering: but
by the constitution and laws, is most prop
erly lodged in the hands of those who have
the power and ability to restore order and
peace.
Appeals are frequently made 10 our sym
pathies to redress grievances and outrages
which occur in many of the relations Of
life, and In MANY instances these influences
command our services. But in the higher
and more important relations We sustain
TO each other, as members Of our happy
form of Government, the Constitution and
the laws should alone be the rule of our ac-
ton.
There are those who indulge in the use
of hard names and sectional phrases, such
as "subserviency TO southern interests"
dough faces and the like, in order to
arouse our people to the violation OF law
All this, | ardently hope, will not lead our
people away from the great principles tia:
underlies all our instiiu ions-thc Obscure
right of each SAFE and Territory to make
its own ms buttons withou. the influence of
others
Upon this principle We can sand and
maintain the peace and harmony of the
Union with safety and honor. 1t is the cor
ner stone upon which the security and per-
petuitv of the Union rest.
Having the utmost confidence that the
people of Ina ana will not, under any cir
cums;ances, abandon this high position, |
frankly say to You, no efforts will be made
by this Department. Induce solitary citi-
zen to enter upon crusade against any
portion of tie people Of the Union or their
ins buttons. II others do rrong, are acU do
right
| have the honor to be,
Yours. most respectfully.
