Hard Run.-The New York Irtbuns has at
length published the minority report of the
House Elections Committee on the Kansas
contested election case, but not in connection
with the majority report from the same COM
mittee in the same case, as it should have
done to preserve even q semblance Of fairness
in dealing with the Kansas question. By
way OF breaking the force Of the arguments
and facts embraced in the statements of
Messrs. Stephens and Whitfield, letter from
the pen Of the =redoubtable philosopher him
self is found in the same issue of the Tribune,
arguing the case by the convenient method of
. fictitious colloquy, in which, of course, DR..
Greeley only puts arguments in Gen. Whit.
fields mouth, which he is able to refute with
those he pretsnds to put in the mouth of his
opponent. The dodge is as weak as stale, and
can have no weight whatever against the
crushing effect with which Gen. Whitfield
argues his own case in the minority report in
question, wherein he scatters like chat the
baseless assertions for facts on which the Doc
tor relies in making up his plausible colloquy
AS matter Of course, any man with half the
brains Of the redoubtable Horace can argue
out of his boots any other man with the best
cause in the world and with double the brains
with which Daniel Webster was endowed
provided the latter will take precisely such
positions as the former may choose to select
for him, and use only such arguments as his
opponent prefers to put in his mouth. Hor-
ace Horace! Horace! your case is a
desperate one, indeed, or you would essay
to manage it without resort to. SO silly a
trick as that
A Change.-The President, we hear, has
directed that the functions of the Governor OF
Minnesota, as ee.o6feio Superintendent Of In
dian Affairs in that Territory shall cease, and
that the Indian matters of the Territory shall
hereafter be under the control of Superinten-

Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, who had known

Worthy as Man, Worthy as an Officer

When citizen is elected by the popular
voice, or appointed by the Government to
Office, he cannot be good officer unless he
is cautious in his private department and
faithful to his public duties Nothing so
embelishes the character of n man serving
the people as his devotion to them equitably.
If he be honest, capable dealing with one
as with another, he will gain the esteem
of all none will question his claims to the
respect of his fellow citizens because he be-
longs to this party or to that lie will be
looked upon as worthy of official station, and
have little difficulty in obtaining it and,
should he be transferred to the retirement Of
private life by political changes, he can go
with the pleasing consciousness of having
committed no wrong, and will, all around
him, hear praise of his previous acts.
Such citizen is always competent as a
man, independently Of his political opinions,

From the Daily Biues, (Buchanan.)

On every hand there are cheerful evidcn-
ces Of the approaching success Of Democrat
ic principles.
Last Monday little boy was observed
tossing up chip and attentively examining
it. On being approached by our reporter,
it was discovered that he had written on one
side Buck and Breck, and the other side
Fillmore and Donelson, and Fremont and
Dayton The Buck and Break came up
permost three times out Of five. This too
was in the Ninth Ward-the strong hold of
the opposition, and where all the chips have
hitherto been strongly Republican,.
The late water crosses in the garden Of a
very respectable gentleman living in the sub
urbs of this city came up in the form Of two
BIS. No one about the house knows any
thing about the matter, and it is regarded by
all as prognostic of the election of Buck
and Breck" The insnuation that the eld-
est boy sowed the seeds in this form is reject
ed with scorn by the father.

FREM0NTs ELECTION THE SIGNAL FOR
DISUNION
Those who Adhere to the Union to be Banished-
The Fire-Eaters Preparing for the Inaugural
ton of Fremont

From the Georgia Constitutionalst September ~.
THE POLICY OF THE SOUTH IN THE EVENT OF
FREMONTS ELECTION.
If Fremont should be elected President, the
Union of these States, in our opinion, would
not, and should not, long survive the event.
This we believe to be the prevalent and daily
strengthening conviction of the Southern people.
The most inveterate Union men Of the South
would become convinced, if they are not already,
that, after such triumph of the spirit of hos
tilty to the South, which such sectional vote
would indicate, there could be no honor, peace,
OF safety, for the South, In continuance of the
Union.
Even if the South were willing, for the sake
OF peace and quiet tamely and disgracefully to
submit to the yoke, she would not be allowed
to lie down quietly under the degradation.
The agitation of the Slavery question would
still be kept up by her enemies. New aggres.
sions and new humiliations would be planned
and carried out; and her very submissiveness
instead of propitiating the Abolitionists, would
but whet their appetites for further outrage
Bot we dismiss, as gross libel to our section
the very thought that majority, or even any
respectable number of the Southern people,
would advocate a continuance of the Union, in
case Fremont should be elected.
Our esteemed correspondent, whose commu.
nication, headed "The Policy of the South in
the Event of Fremont's Election" will be found
below. He takes a less sanguine view of the
future, and he invites public attention to the
next step in the programme. He is a man
whose views are entitled to much weight. BE
was one of the most Jealous and effective, as he
was one of the most able champions of the
Compromise party of 1850, and of the Union
party of 1850 and 1851, in our State He is
not, and has not been, of the school of fre-eat-
ers; but, on the contrary, has belonged to that
class referred to In the Declaration of indie,
pendence, who care more disposed to suffer
while evils are sufferable, than to right them
selves by abolishing the forms to which they
ere accustomed"
| 1t may not be amiss to look the worst posi-
BILE contingencies in the face. 1t at least is
the part of prudence to counsel together, and
be prepared to answer, What shall we do in case
of Fremonts election? We cannot begin too
soon to set Our house in order" for the grea,
andtremendous change which such result would
bring upon the country. We look upon dis
solution of the Union on account of this Slavery
question as inevitable, sooner or later.
1t is only question of time when it will take
place. The election of Mr.. Buchanan, and the
conservative influences which will 90 in with
him, may and probably will hold the country
together four years longer. Possibly the Dem
ocratic theory of nou.intervention by Congress
with Slavery may, in that time, receive peace
fol and triumphant solution. But the proha
bilities are, that the virus of Abolition fanati

SENATOR DOUGLAS.

The press Of the country. without distinction of
party almost unanimous in their approval OF the
rm and manly course pursued by the distinguished
senator of Illinois in the late personal difficulty at
tempted to be forced upon him by Colonel Lane and
his sympathizing friends The Albany Atlas and
Argus says:
ave publish the whole of the corrcspon-
dence between General Lane and Senator
Douglas, which has been put forth garbcd
and mutatcd by the opposition press.
"Senator Douglas comes out Of the contro-
versy with honor; while his antagonist who
has rushed into the alteration with foolish
brayado, goes out of it brawling empty threats,
and discomlited if not dishonorcd'
The Boston Post says:
"Senator Douglas comes ont Of the affair
with Col. j. II. Lane with undoubted honor
and increased reputation however some Of the
Beechcrriac republicans, who predicted duel
may represent it, The course which Mr.
Douglas pursued as to the correspondence with
Lane was decidedly approved OF, in note
over their own signatures, by MesSrs r.
Toombs, John b. Weller, j. ID. Bright, james
l.. Orr, and Joseph Lane. Besides, it is ap-
proved of by public opinion throughout the
country; and the more decent friends of free
dom in Kansas now condemn Lane for trying
to palm off spurious document upon Con-
gress, thereby defeating even the chance Of
the Territory for admission as a free State nm

The Ohio Statesman says.
at would be folly to add a word to the

bogus Senator Lane, of Kansas, which we

Others but they always failed Of their mark,
