KASsAs.-In the New York Day Book, we
find a letter dated "New Market, Platte county,
Missouri" from which we make the following
extracts:
ave are living here almost upon the borders
Of Kansas. The tales published in relation to
the Intervention of Missourians in Kansas
affairs are all lies, got up expressly by aboli-
tionists for the eastern market. There is not a
word Of truth in the whole Of them, and the
assertion made by the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, that the Missouriaus had great re.
spect for Sharp's rifles and the courage Of New
England people that made use Of them,' is as
arrant piece of folly as ever was uttered.
Why, if the people Of Missouri we're to get into
fracas with those fellows, they would care no
more for Sbarp's rifles in the hands OF such
set Of miscreants, than they would for a lot of
broomstcks in the hands Of parcel Of old
women; mark the prediction, if ever fight
comes of, it will be just as / tell you. Lane
and Robinson are disappointed ofice-seekers
they are now playing their last stake in the
game Of brag; if they win, they feel certain
Of preferment; if they lose, they are lost ire.

MIR. Buchanan In New york.

The New York Atlas Of the Oath ultmo,
says:
We care not what may be said by trcking
and designing politicians, who manage and
control humbug primary elections, and manu-
facture bogus representatives for the Masses in
party conventions, because we know that the
people of this State-the Democratic heart of
York-the soul and body-bones and breeches
of the old Democracy-is nearly unanimous in
favor of Mr.. Buchanan for the next President
of the United States. They expect him, and
nobody else, to be nominated al Cincinnati,
whether the Hard or the "Soft" delegates
are admitted from this State, to vote for or
against him-or whether both are received, or
both rejected !" again: Nominate James
Buchanan for the Presidency, and that will
satisfy all-reconcile all-unite all-and con-
centrate the Democratic vote of the State"
And yet again: "The nomination Of Mr..
Buchanan at Cincinnati, is considered equiva-
lent to an election, by the intelligent politicians,
who study the signs Of the times, and mingle
with the multitude"

KAN SAS.

Mr.. Oliver Of Missouri, arrived at ST. Louis
on the I'd instant, on his way to Kansas, being
a member of the committee to investigate the
circumstances attending the recent elections in
that Territory. The commission is expected
to begin its session at Leavenworth about the
18th or 10th of the present month.
A Kansas correspondent Of the St. Louis
Republican, in speaking Of the Free-State Leg
islature, states that the grand juries Of the Cir
cult Court, under the instruction of Judge Le-
compte, have indicted not only the members,
but all the judges Of election; and that it was
the intention of the Judge, at his term in
Douglas, to commence about the lst Of this
month, to have bills found against Gov. Robin
son, Lieut.. Gov. Roberts, and all the executive
officers elected

The New Mexican Tariff.

We learn at the Statistical Office in the State
Department that the new Tariff Of Mexico,
promulgated few months since, has been in
corporated in the report on our commercial re-
lations with all foreign nations. The impor-
iance Of giving the latest changes in the com.
mercial legislation Of foreign nations was one
Of the reasons which Influenced the Committee
on Commerce in recommending that the re-
port be printed under the superintendence Of
the Office whence it emanated
We extract from the Digest on Mexico the
following tariff duties on some Of our leading
exports:

- A gentleman who formerly conducted
weekly paper, writes to- friend who has recently
assumed the charge Of daily paper, as follows:
"You must live in and for the paper. There
is no escape from this voluntary and yet life
long slavery. For now nearly ten years / have
known the willing, voluntary, unbroken service
which the true servant of free press must
render. Ny weekly charge has been more than
! can bear; and often, like the slave described
with such pathetic eloquence by Job, have
"longed for the shadow which tells the hour
Of rest Feeling thus with respect to the weekly
press, how can but fear for you, my brother,
my friend, when you bind yourself in sixfold
bonds? How little do the msjorities Of readers
Of newspapers know Of the expenditure Of
thought, Of the labor Of the head and brain
and hands, which goes to make up that which
ministers to their highest wantsi And also,
how many truths, thought out with brain throes,
pass unnoted, unobserved, even if not received
with relentless hostility Nevertheless, the
true man must work, and work, too in the
martyr spirit; contented with the thought that
his mere relics, when he has laid him down in
the dust, will constitutes kind of superstrnc
ture and basement, upon which the glorious
and eternal temple Of truth shall stand"

We clip the above from the London Star of
March 18th, and take the opportunity to say that
it would be a difficult matter to find gentle
man better qualified for the post of Secretary
of Legation than Benjamin Moran, Esq. His
large experience, fine abilities, great industry
and courteous demeanor, eminently fitted him
for the duties of the Office Mr. Moran was for
some time private Secretary to Mr.. Buchanan
at the Court of st. James, and for many months
has been acting Secretary of Legation. Mr..
Moran has won the esteem of the numerous
Americans who have been travelling through
