General Persifier +. Smith Order.
ed to Kansas.

Gen. Persfer f. Smith arrived in Wash
ington on Friday, having been sent for by
the President. He had an interview with the
President on Saturday evening Orders have
been issued, and he will proceed as early as
possible to Kansas to take charge of the
United States forces there. His orders are
imperative; in fact he is clothed with full
power to put down all insurrection, come
from what quarter it may. This policy has
been deemed advisable in order to take the
Kansas imbroglio out of the halls of Con.
gress, and give peace and quiet to the coun-
try. Gen. Smith is a cool headed man, and
is considered one oe the best officers of the
army. This will do away with Critenden's
and all other propositions. Thus much we
learn by telegraph. Gen. Smith has ante
cedents which may encourage US to expect
fair play from his administration Of his un-
usual trust. The Mexican war found him a
Justice ofthe Peace in New Orleans. The
influence of an office like this must be favor
able upon the characters of men not purely
of Dogberry or Lecompte blood. Familiarity
with questions OF right, and the measuring
out of justice to rivals and wrong. .doers,
should incline even military procensul to
truth and equality in his rule of province.

meritorious conduct in service" on the Rio

Old wings PrOnOunciRg.

We yesterday gave an article from the
Logan Gazette, an old Clay and Webster
Wing paper, in which it avowed its deter
minatlon to support Buchanan and Breck.
enrdge, and in another article it declared
there were five hundred Clay Wings in 10.
gan county who would not support Fremont
Mayor Deming, of Hartford, Conn, hereto
fore strong Whig, is now Jealous in the
support of Buchanan and Breckenridge
John w. Longyear, Esq.,a taente and pop.
ular lawyer of Lansing, Michigan, and q
leader OF the Wing party IN that district
Col. Wright, of Lexington, and Edward
Riddle OF Charleston, Mass, old Wings
are doing the same thing. The Evansville
Qnd.) Enquirer claims an accession of sew
eral hundred from the old Wings in that
Congressional District. Hon. E. B. Webb,
Of Springfield Qll l)nnother old line Wing,
has espoused the cause Of Buchanan ard
Breckenridge. Robert S. Blackwell, the
Wing candidate for Congress in the Chica-
go District in 1854, and Scott elector in
Illinois in 1852, and the Wing candidates OF
that year for State Offices in Illinois-Gov-
ernor and Secretary of State-are out for
Buchanan. The Rhode Island Post thinks
that most of the more prominent of the old
line Wings of that State will come up to the
support Of Buchanan in November. Already
a large number have expressed their deter
minaton to do so.

Lying all the tiHlac.

The following from the Lancaster Intelli
Sencer, will serve as sample of the lies tina
are told in regard to charges against ou
party:

cratic paper, and formerly firm supporter
Of Mr.. Buchanan, has drawn itself entirel,
out ofthe harness, and is now head and tai
up for either Fremont or Mclean, which
everthe Philadelphia Convention shall nom

the New York Herald, to show our readers
the character that paper has for veracity

Danger Ahead The DisuniOn
Project

Every day, renders the real purpose Of our
political opponents more apparent. The
breach between the union and sectional men
of the nation is growing wider every hour
Under the National standard are gathered the
members of the Democratic party, the union
,Whigs of the land, and Ollthose who believe
Dat the government erected by our fathers
shan be preserved as whole-and inviolate.
Under the BLACK Republican standard is Q
motley host of all colors, opinions and con-
victions, and only agreeing in one common
sentiment-that of hatred to the Democratic
party and desire to divide the confederacy
by geographical lines.
In the Philadelphia convention only one
half the States were represented. A plat
form declaring friendship to the North, 4 de-
termined hostility to the South was adopted
Their candidate expects his entire suppor
from the Northern half of the Republic. Il
elected, he will be the President Of only one
half of the American confederacy. Does
not such a movement contemplate disunion
Does il not look directly to q dism ember
ment of the government! Is not its ten
dency TO array one portion of the land a
gainst the other! Will it not excite to in
surrection, discord and anarchy?
Let then the opposition to the Democra
cy be bold. Their intentions are apparent
Let them hang out their black banner up
on the outer wall. Let them proclaim b.
words what their acts already proclaim
that there are but Sirteen States in this con
federacy! This is their real sentiment
The shrewdest OF their leaders dare not avoV
their secret purpose. They must dg'tdt
awhile longer. BY and by, when the pub
lie pulse has risen up to the fever heat
excitement; when the public mind ha
become crozed by their manufacturing q
falsehoods, then the call to open resistance
TO the govern ment and laws will be SOUNDED
along the lines of the respective factions
and the work of dissolution begin in earn
est.
Some of their indiscreet leaders as wei
as many of the privates have already pro
claimed that open and avowed resistance t
the government is the solemn duty of the
North. We hear this from the pulpit ant
the stump; we read it in the black Republi
can journals; we hear it in private conver
sation. We are told that there should no
only be resistance; but that in certain con
tingencics it is our duty to fght' the verl
haHS of Congress are ankle deep in Uood"--
There can be no mistaking the import o
such language. 1t means--disunion. l
means that the Black Republicans are de-
termined to aim a blow not only at th'
heart of the Democracy, but through tina
heart to pierce to its vitals and deStro!

He has circulated extensively about
Washington and Philadelphia, London and
Ostend; but, we believe, has never been in
the Mississippi Valley. He knows very lit
tie of his own country by experience, and
still less of its people Gazette,
This language is applied to Mr. Buchan-
an, who has represented the United States
at the Courts of Russia and Great Britain
who has resided in the West and seen every
part of the Mississippi Valley-who was the
cotemporary and associate during the whole
lives of Webster, Clay and Calho un-and
who, perhaps more than any living man,
has been compelled by, his position to know
the people and the country.
How much did Washington, Jefferson
and Madison know of the country and the
people? They never were in the Mississip.
pi Valley. Two ofthem were never abroad.

FreInOnt1 DueIiSt.

The Black Republicans speak with holy
horror of the fact that Mr.. Breckenridge
once accepted challenge 10 fight DUEL
We commend to the attention OF these
Pharisees the fact contained in the follow
ing paragraph from the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, Wing paper:
"There seems to be special fitness and
propriety in the selection of Fremont as the
candidate of the patriotic, pious and peace
able republicans, of whom the praying
preachers of New England are the most &C.
tive and influential electioneerers. Ere.
mont, since he arrived at years of ofdiscretion,
and just before he was elected to the Sem

made an arrangements for fighting duel

terms more ferocious, savage and bloody
than were eyer;before heard Of in civil.

Opinions OF the Neutral Press.

The Pittsburgh Chronicle is an independ-
ent journal with strong anti-slavery procliV-
tiles. 1t cannot be accused of any peculiar
sympathy with the Democratic party. In
the Saturday number Of that paper an able
article appeared reviewing the present posi-
tion of the political parties of the country
1t concludes with the following language:
In the present state of things, the eIec-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan seems to US certain.
In expressing this opinion, we speak from
stand point outside Of all party lines ol
obligations, with no desire or intention tc
favor the interests Of one party more than
another. We simply give utterance to Q
solemn truth, which the people will not heaI
from any other source than that of the in
dependent press.
