The Bill of Peace


Mr.. Douglas has introduced bill in the
Senate, which will pass both houses, and set
tie the Kansas difficulty fairly. No one can
object to it. Here are its provisions
THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Ter
rltories, to which was referred the various
bills relative to affairs in Kansas. made VOL
luminous report on the subject, 1t contains
an elaborate argument In favor of the new hill
accompanying the report, which provides for
the appointment of five Commissioners. to he
selected BY the President from different sec
tlons of the Union, to represent fairly all DO
iitical parties. They shall take census of all
the legal voters in the Territory, and make a
falr apportionment of delegates to be elected
by each county, to form a constitution and in.
stitutc State government When the ap-
portionment shall be made the Commissioners
are to remain IN session every day, except Sun
Day, at the place most convenient for the in
habltants of said Territory, to hear all COM
plants, examine witnesses, and correct all er-
rors III said list of voters, which list shall be
previously printed and generally circulated
through the Territory, and posted in at least
three of the most public places ofeach election
district; and so soon as all the errors have
been thus corrected in said lists, the Commits
| sioners are requested 10 cause a corrected list
OF the legal voters to be printed, and copies
furnished to each Judge of election, to be put
up at the places OF voting, and circulated In
every county in the Territory before the day

Union at that time, and if so decided, TO pro-
ceed to form Constitution and State govern

Kansas then to be admitted under such Con-
stltution on an equal footing with the original
States. The bill provides further. that no law
shall be enforced in the Territory infringing
the liberty of speech. or of the press, or the
right of the people 10 bear arms. &c 1t also
provides punishment for illegal voting, fraud
and violence at elections and authorizes the
use of the military for that purpose The
main point is, that the persons designated BY
the census as the present inhabitants of the
Territory, shall decide all points in dispute at
a fair election, without fraud or violence or
any other improper influence All the white
male lnhabitants over II years of age are to

Mr. Fillmore on Black Republicauism.

The following extract from Mr. FILLMoRE's
speech at Albany, shows that he entertains
the same views of the inevitable consequences
of the success of the Black Republicans
that have recently been expressed in cur col
umns:
But this is not all, Sir. He see a j,cltt-
cat party, presenting candidates fo5. The Prs
idency and fice- Presidency. selected for the
first tiste from the Free States alone. scih
the aro'eed purpose IF eleciing these cancl;-
d4'es tq smbrG9es ~ one part IF tie Union
only, andrHle orcr tie ,rhoie EnifceI States :
Can 1t be possible that those who are engaged
in such a measure can have seriously reflected
upon the consequences which must inevitable
follow in case of success? TCheers Can
they have the madness or the folly to believe
that onr Soathern brethren ,could submit to be
gorern,ed by snch Chat Magistrate p
Cheers. Would he be required to follow
the same rule prescribed by those who elected
him In making appointments? If man liy-
ing south of Mason and Dixon's line be not
worthy to be President or Vice President.
would it be proper to select one from the same
quarter one of his Cabinet Council, or to
repi esent the nation in foreign country? Or
indeed, to collect the revenue. or administer
the laws of the United States If not. what
new rule is the President to adopt in selecting
men for office that the people themselves dis
card in selecting him? These are serious,
but practical questions, and in order to appre-
ciate them fully, it is only necessary to turn
the tables upon ourselves Suppose that the
.SouA hGrtng majority Of the Electoral
rotes should declare that they seoald on{g hare
Shareholders for President and Iice President,
and should elect such by their esccIasire sa6ra-
ges to rule orer as at the North. DO you
think zee lcouid submit to 1t No, not for a
moment. Applause. And do you believe
that your Southern brethren are less sensitive
on this subject than you are, or less jealous
of their rights? Tremendous cheering. If
you do. let me tell you that you mistaken.
And, therefore, you must see that if this Sec
tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to
the destruction of this beautiful fabric reared
by our fathers, eemented by their blood, and
bequeathed to US as a priceless inheritance

Prospect in Pennsylvania.

The news from all parts of Pennsylvania is of
the most cheering character. Everywhere the
old line Wings are wheeling into the Demo-
cratic ranks, with determination to do all
they can for the Democratic State Ticket as
well as for the nominees of the Cincinnati Con-
ventien. Pennsylvania will give such ma
Jerlty next fall for the Democratic ticket as
will astonish even the most ardent and sam
guine friends of the good old party. In a let
ter dated Northumberland, June 2S, 1856,
the writer says: s' We have organized a
very large club here. Several old line Wings
are in with US, and we expect more TO join
We will have a much larger majority in Nor
thumberland this fall than we ever had before.
1 attended pole raising at Milton week
ago, and 1 was rejoiccd to find so much en-
thusiasm, and such a large tura-oHt. There
were many old line Wings present who had
come out for PenBsylvania's Fayorite Son. In
fact, there are many throughout Northumber-
land, Union, Snyder and Montour counties
who have openly declared for him Such is
the news from different parts of Pennsylvania.

not been known since the days of GEN. JACK

The Bill of Peace.


We publish again to-day TIE bill introduced
in the Senate by Judge Douglas, and which
has already passed that body. 1t is now be-
fore the House. If the Republicans in the
House refuse to pass that bill they will prove
themselves far greater rascais than the ..bor-
der ruffians." 1t is a bill of peace 1t does
all that any reasonable man can ask. 1t an
nuls the Objectionable laws; abolishes the test
oaths, and the capitation tax 1t allows en-
tire freedom of speech and the press on the
question of slavery. 1t fixes the right dav
for the election in the Territory-the day
when Missourians will want to be at home at
their own election. 1t provides for commits
sioners to make out an accurate list of LEGAL
voters. 1t requires three months actual resi-
de'tce to entitle one to vote. 1t provides
punishments for illegal voting. And it au-
thorizes the use of military force to prevent
all frauds and violence
What more can any one ask. Reeder and
others assure us that the free State men out

What then will be the result of this bill if II
passes? a new free State next winter. Now
when such a measure of peace and Justice is
offered to the country; we are told by the
Abolitionists of The House that they will refuse
to pass it; or viii incumber it with amend
ments that the Senate cannot accent. Tn
other words the Black Republican majority

way or all their electioneering thunder is gone;
and they as party have not plank left to
stand upon. Let US see now if the dena-

they alone are the guilty party, and the whole
country Will so understand it.
Remember. Democratic Senate has nass-
ed the bill-the abolitionist Senator's voting
against it. The Stewards, the Summers the
Hales opposing bill that would give peace
to Kansas, and make it free State in a few
months if they have not lied to us about the
state of the parties in the Territory. This
bill tests the honesty of the agitators. and
throws all the odium upon them if they dare
defeat it.
We think, however, that some of the abo-
itlonists in the House are honest. and that
the bill will pass. and be signed by the presi-

SPEECH OF WM. B. REED, EsQ.-We call
the attention ofour readers to the speech of
this gentleman at the Philadelphia ratification
meeting. Mr.. Reed has heretofore been re-
garded as one of the most active and leading
Wings of the State, and occupied the position
as the last chairman of the Wing State Com
mlttee. He is lawyer of much ability and
of high standing in the city of Philadelphia
Devoted as he has been to the old Wing party,
and being the warm friend Of Clay and Web
ster, as supporters of the Constitution ofhis
country, he cannot consent to follow in the
wake of the Black Republicans, or to be con-
trolled by the midnight Know Nothing order;
he has therefore boldly came out In favor of
buchanan and Breckinridge, regarding The
Democratic party as the only Constitutional
party in the Union. His example will be
followed by thousands of others, and we COM
mend his remarks to the Old line Wings of
this region of country.
