waging war of insult, thieyery and mean ana
cowardly advantage against them. God forbid
that we should find any pleasure in The derlora-
BILE exigeney which has given birth TO this feel
| ing. We believe that there are in the South
hosts of as gallant men ever Grew swordwho'
| IL the abotionsts and incendiaries Of the North
could be separated from the better people there
and might offer them battle, would rush to the
conflict with the ard1r of lover 10 the arms OF
| his mistress This drawing off of abotionsm
towards Kansas. should it respond 10 the appeal
will afford the opportunity. The men who an
swer to this despairug cry of the Kansas rebels
will by the act at once show themselves enemies
to the South, and willing TO submit their cause TO
the arbitrament of arms. 1ftbis last stern re-
sort cannot be avoided, we are glad that the cir
cumstances are they are. Innocent and un-
willing parties will thus escape being drawn in
to the fray. There in the Northern states
numbers Of good. law abiding, union-loyng citi
zens who should not be made accountable for the
wrongful acts of those with whom they may BIO
accidentally associated. The proposition TO
make Kansas tho battle ground will relieve them
Only those who prefer to fight will go there. If
such there be- and nothing else will content
them. we say, by all the protecting divinities OF
the South, by her numberless and unayenged
! wrongs, by the memory of heroes who sleep be-
meath her soil, and by the inaenable and indie
feasible rights of those who are yet to spring
from her loins let them hare fght Better fight
now than hereafter, when the whole North shall
have become inoculated with madness. Better
fight in Kansas than in the heart of the union,
where many gutless and unoiionding would
be involved in the strife aud its consequences
We do not believe that such collision would
break up our noble system Of government. On the
contrary we think blood letting would relieve IT
of the fever of fanaticism, which threatens its dis
solution. We believe that the miserable wretches
who have bred and fomented the mischief
would be ohastised into submission and good be-
havior All that we should fear would be that
the cowardly chiefs of the maefactors,the Groo-
leys Stewards Garrisons, Summers, Beechers,
Parkers and their follows would stay away from
tho field of danger. We never yet havo heard Of
any scene of personal peril from which they did
not keep their oathsome oarcassos safe. Greedy,
the other day in Washington, retreating. like u
great bleating calf from well meriod punishment,
is a sample of tho style of knights, the abolition
school of chivalry produces. But our readers will
not choose TO dwell longer on this uninylting
topic, and dismiss it, with the assurance TINT
they will keep watchful eye on what is transpi.
ring in, and relative TO, Kansas.
THE LONDON TIMES discusses tho points at

ments. in respect to the Interpretation of the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty, in IA spirit Of fairness
and magnanimity, which augurs well for such
satisfactory explanations, on the part of Her
Majestys Ministers, ns cannot but conduce to
an early and satisfactory settlement of the
dispute. "LEr US FRANKLY GIVE Up orr
QUESTIONABLE RIGHT 10 THE MosQuiro Pro
ELECTORATE, AND THE ISLAND OF RuArAN"-
says the Times,-"ANp, BY WAY OF DELIVERING
OURSELVES OF THE WHOLE EMBARRASSMENT, AT
ONCE AND FOR EVER THROW THE WORTHLESS SET.
ELEMENT OF BELIZE INTO THE BARGAIN"
Whether 'ier Majesty's Ministers sympathize
with the Times view of the ease,-or not,-there
is, at any rate. says the New York Express II
magnanmity about the enunciation of such sen.
timents from that quarter that is peculiarly OBJ
perfume. 1t will do good. 1t is oil ON the
troubled waters,-a grateful emollient to inter
national exacerbaions, resulting recently from
the enlistment affair, well as the angry crimi-
nations and recrmnatons of the press of both
countries. -
There Is but ono drawback to an unqualified
appreciation of the Times article, and that is
the unfortunate simplicity 1t discovers in accept
ing the competency of this government to break
up the rule of Gen Walker, and his flibustars in
Central America. AS an offset to the acauies
cence of England in the American Interpretation
OF the Cloyton-B ulwor treaty,it is suggested that
the L. s. Government be called upon not only
ITO observe its portion of the treaty, in respect
of which we have hitherto had nothing to com
plain, but also to root out the gang of pirates and
murderers who have taken foreible pos session
of the State of Nicaragua, and hold il ia defiance
of the will of both countries" To call upon Us
to observe the Treaty,-if we have violated, or
contemplate violating it's right and proper
but IT is neither right nor proper to devolve upon
u the task of debating to the Ncaraguans what
sort of government they shall have. That is
their business. mot ours. nor Englands.
