A somewhat distinguished Democratic pol
itician of South Western Georgia, who has
been in Washington for several weeks, has
Just returned home, and confirms the re-
ports that have reached US of the ioaning
prospects of Buchanan, at the North. This
gentleman is n strong Buchanan man
means to vote for him il nobody else in
Georgia does, but is honest enough to shy
that he has no hope Of Bucks election. lie
says further that Buchanan was nominated
on the score of availability but has proved
to be unauailabLei From the same source
we learn that the Administration party have
60 clerks constantly employed at Wash
ington in putting up and sending off elec-
tioneering documents, under charge of Col.
DeGraffrnreid and other members of the
National Democratic Executive Committee.
From all which we take it that the only
hope of this desperate party is to blind the
people to their true interests, by parti-
Fan and mendacous publications, with which
the country is TO be flooded under frank of
members Of Congress from this time till No
vember. But it will all avail nothing! The
"hand writing is on the wall" and the knees
of the modern Observation-Disclosures
already got the SHAKES!

down upon the offenders. At first thew at
tempted resistance, but ono of the ring. leaders
having been fired upon, and slightly injured,
by one of the watch, the balance soon came
to the wise conclusion that "discretion was
the better part of valor." Two of the pripci.
pals was arrested and taken before Justice
Reaver, who committed them to Jail. Weun-
derstand that these disturbances have been
OF very frequent occurrence at this point, so
much so that some Of the neighbors have been
seriously contemplating taking tho law into
their own hands for the purpose of breaking
it up.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union discussing the latest ho"s iioln
Kansas, says:
cit is gratifying to know from the above
despatch that the I" closing scenes at Law
renee were not marked with the violence and
bloodshed so generally anticipated afew weeks
The flight of Robinson, Reeder, and the other
leading spirits of the Topeka movement, the
convenient absence Of Col. Lane, the inter-
veniDg two thousand miles between the New
England Emigrant Aid Society and its miser.
able dupes in Kansas, and the unmistakable
determination of the federal and territorial
officers to vindicate and maintain the laws {" at
all hazard" it would appear, have robbed
abolition assumption of martyrdom Of all its
attractive features, and have induced the IA
natics Of Lawrence prudently and properly to
consult their personal safety in preference to
the traitorous polite designs of their eastern
employers. If the Topeka party were pos-
sessed Of as much unrefecting courage as
they manifested Of insolent boastings; il, as
they pretended, they outnumbered the loyal,
law-obeying citizens as four to one, scenes
Kansas which all true patriots would shudder
to contemplate. As the facts are now pre-
sented to as, it would seem that the "civil
war" so confidently predicted, and so ardent
1y wished for, and even prayed for, by the
black republicans, (at distance,) scarcely
rises to tho dignity OF mob-vlolence, and that
Marshal Donaldson, In the discharge of his
official duties, has in the end met with even a
less amount Of opposition than many of our
railroad contractors have experienced ut the
hands Of their laborers during the prevalence
Of strike.''
1--WE do not mention this in a spirit Of de-
rision, for our qualification at the changed
condition Of public affairs and public senti.
ment in Kansas is so great that we are not dis
posed to dwell on the psst when there is so
much Of promise in the future 1t is true that
the feeble resistance of the people of Law
renee to the law and its sworn officers may be
cited as evidence of an absence on their part
of any real hostility to the federal and terri
terisl governments; but, when We compare
their traitorous language with their subse-
quent acts, 1t is not uncharitsble to infer that
they failed to carry out their wicked de-
signs, not from any returning love for the
Union and the constitution, not from any re-
turning sense Of duty as loyal and law.obey-
ing citizens, but from the want of numbers
and the want of that blind courage which has
so frequently led political and religious fana-
tics to sacrifice their lives"
The InteiIigeneer briefly announces the fact
of the dismissal of Mr.. Champion.
