From WashingtOn.

WAsu.ycroS, April lo.--SENArE.--
The consideration of the motion to
print the memorial ofthe Kansas Free
State Legislature was resumed. A
very general debate ensucd, during
which many doubts were entertained
ana expressed rs to the authenticity
of the memorial, as the signatures
were all in the same handwriting,
and there were many crasures and in
terpolations. Mr.. Cassexplaincd that
in presenting the memorial he by no
means endorsed its statements. He
made il q rule always to present pcti-
tons handed him for that purpose.
The memorial was withdrawn from
Committee of Territories by a vote Of
80 to 3. and being before the Senate,
General Cass was allowed to with
draw it and return it to Col. Lane.
Adjourned.

Mr.. Buchanan and tho Kansas
Nebraska Bill.

The extracts of the letter from the
Hon. James Buchanan, referred to in
our telcgraphic dispatch from Wash
ington yesterday, says the Baltimore
Sqa, was written in London on the
2sth of Decembr last, and addressed
to Senator Slidcll, of Louisiana. Il
was not intended for publication, but
"a Mr. B.'s position on this important
question has been differently stated
Mr.. Slidell has thought it necessary to
lay it before the country, through the
columns Of the Union. The extract
is as follows, and shows that Mr. Buch-
anan Is q decided friend Of the Kan
sas- Nebraska measure:
"Thc question has been settled by
Congress, and this settlement should
be inticxiblv maintained. The Mis-
souri, Compromise is gone, and go ne
forever. But no assault should be
made upon those Democrats who
maintained it, provided they are now
willing in good faith to maintain the
settlement as it exists. Such an un-
derstanding is wise and just in itself.
1T il well known how laborcd in
company with Southern men to have
this line extended to the Pacific ocean.
But it has departed. The time for it
has passed away, and verify believe
that the bcst-nay, tho only-mode now
left ofputting down the fanatical and
reckless spirit ofaboltion at the North
is TO adhere to the existing settlement
without the slightest thought or ap-
pearance Of wavcring. and without
regarding any storm which may be
raised against IT,"

Slavery in Kansas.

The Lawrence papers are laborIng
hard to convince their Yankee brcth-
rem that slavery does not and canno,
exist in the territory. They may sue
coed in satisfying their Northern
friends in this, but how will they &C,
over the census returns, which will
show over one thousand slaves in Kan
sas. An examination Of the Asses
sor's book of each county, will proba-
bly, surprise our editorial brethren i'll
in Lawrence. They will find that
several thousand dollars of slave pro.
perty is owned in Kansas, and profit
ably employed, and what is better,
the master and slave are both satisfied
with the country. The addition to
the slave property in this country is
gradually increasing by the arrival OF
wealthy farmers from Missouri, Nir
ginia. Kentucky and other Southern
States. Ia every instance where it
has been tried, their labor has brought
to their owners a larger return than
where they formerly resided and the
planter from Virginia, who has been
in the habit of supporting his negroes,
will find that in Kansas they cannot
only feed themselves but be a prolific
their owners. The climate and sol
of Kansa, is peculiarly adaptc! to
slave labor, and hemp, corn, wheat,
tobacco. and other staple can be Il
protitably produced here as iii Ken
lucky or other Southern Stntcs In
view OF these facts il Becomes the duiy
Of every Southern planter. who i. not
making money tY4t in the Sonlh to re-
move with his slaves to Kansas, where
II fortune o'vaits him.-Sqpd'tcT S1r.-

The Peace Conferencc--CGose ofthc
War.

w al.
We believe the Conferences ofPar
is are drawing rapidly to Il close, anc
that ,re shall shortiy havesto record III,
signature Of a dCfnttirc Hea,y Of peacc
The Plenipotentiarica, ther, is every
reason to suppose, have proceeded ae-
cording to the plan which, it may be
remembered, was set forth in these
columns on the occasion of their meet,
ing. Having come to n distinct un-
destanding upon the Vienna protocol
the representatives Of the Powers in
terested attached their signi tures for
mally to that document, constituting
the stipulations therein contained pre-
liminaries Of peace. This Important
step taken, the five points have been
proceeded with, as we believe, in in
verse order, and have been duly
weighed and debated in detail. DIFF
iicultcs have naturally arisen, but
none that have not been susc cptiblc
Of satisfactory adjustment. 1t was
explained in the House of Commons
last night that the Conference which
is sitting in Paris assembled for the
distinct purpose of concluding 8 peace
between certain belllgerents, and that
therefore the necessary parties to the
proceedings were England. France
Sardinia and Turky on one hand, and
Russia on the other. To the repre-
sentativcs Of States were joined the
Plenipotentiaries Of Austria represen-
ting her in her double capacity of
defensive ally of Turkey and ofmedia-
tor between the bclligerents. We are
justified in supposing that the Confer
ence hasnow succeeded in its mission,
and has arranged the final terms of
peace. The proofofthis is that Prus-
sia has at length been formally invited
to the Conference, mot to negotiate
between the Powers which are inter
csted in the matter" Prussia having
assumed a strictly neutral position, it
was impossible to allow her any part
in the settlement of matters ia which
she refused TO take an active interest;
but an arrangement having been now
brought about between the parties
concerned, Prussia is adRittcd to sign
that arrangement as witness. More
over, as one of the objects of the Con
ference is the revision Of the treaties
of ls40 and ls4l, it has been thought
cypedient, just and due to Prussia to
invite her to participate in the revi-
sion Of acts to which she was party.
With the terms of the treaty which is
nbout to be signed we rhall roon be
acquainted. In the mcatine we have
but to refer to the recent speech ofthe
Emperor Napoleon and the prece-
dents of Lords Palmerston and Clar-
cndon--we have but to look at the
relative positions of,hc Western Pow
crs and of Russia--to feel a perfect
confidence that the peace ofParis will
be not only honorable but abundantly
satisfactory in its provisions, and per-
manent in its effects.

Central American Affairs.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun at Washington, on the ltb writes
Whether the State Of Costa Rica ia
about to make war upon Gen. Walk
or is correct, AZ the proclamation of
President Nora wonld indicate, re-
mains to be seen. Walkers force, if
under good command, and aided
by adequate funds, may be able to
Withstand and overcome the threaten
ed attack. 1t will necessarily be u
murderous war on both sides. Costa
Rica will invoke foreign aid for the
maintenance Of her independence,
viii England intcrpose in her behalt'
Supposing Costa Rica to be con-
qucrcd, the State of Gradana will next
be ovcrrun, and the Panama transit
will come into possession Of Walker.
The rights and property ofthc Panama
Company will next be confscated for
the uses of the Walker government,
and Gen. Walker will command all
the Isthmus transits, and impose his
own terms upon their use by oil ma
tions. But foreign governments will,
probably. await the further develop
ment Of Walkers policy and the ex-
tent Of his resources before they will
interfere.
The Costa Rica troops are said to
be we'll oflicered, disciplined and sup
piled. It is n rich State, as its name
implies, and, what is very remarkable,
is out Of debt. 1t presents, therefore,
strong inducements for the cupidity
of our flbustcrs.
Mr.. Collamcr continued his speech
on the Kansas question, which is fur
thcr 10 be elaborated next week by
Mr.. Seward on one side, and Mr..
Gcyer on the othcr. los.

Know Nothing Oaths.'-Remarka-
BILE Trial.

We find in the Cincinnati Enquiru
credited to the Lancaster Eagle the
particulars ola trial recently had in the
Court of Common Pleas of Ross coun-
,y, Ohio, which developed some new
and startling facts relative to Know
Nothinsism. 1t appears that an ad-
herring member of the Know Nothing
order charged seceder with perjury,
in having disclosed the secrets Of the
Order; upon this charge suit for
slandcr was instituted. Upon the trial
the defender introduced, as in evidence,
the testimony of several members of
the Order, who disclosed these start
ling facts: They testified that each
man who joins the Know Nothing Or
der takes "A solemn oath never to dis
close the existence of the Order, the
names of any of its members, or his
own connection with it. When asked
whether this oath taken in the order
was regarded by them rs conflicting
with the oath they had just taken in
court, from the fact that each ono OF
these witnesses had not only told of
the existence of the Order, but had
revealed the names and connection of
members, they replied it did not; that
each of them had permit Of indul-
gcnce from Thomas Ford President
of the Order, granting them permis-
sion to testify rs witnesses in the case.
Upon this state ofthings the Eaglcre-
marks:
"Nhcn has Tom Ford derived the
power to absolvc men from the bind
ing obligation Of fsolemn oath? Who
gave him the power to annul the most
sacred appeals to Almighty God that
human beings can make? And yet,
from the sworn testimony ofwitnesses
in court ofjusticc, 1t appears that he
has assumed to do this, and men stood
up IN court ofjusticc and violated
these oaths, declaring that they felt
no compunctiou of conscience for do
ing 40, because of the all-nbsolving
power ofTom Ford's indulgence. One
of the most solemn charges Know
Notl,iugismhas urged against the Pope
is that once his predecessors granted
indulgenccs and absolved from the
binding effect of oaths. What is the
difference, let us ask, between their
own acts and what they charge upon
the Pope t..'

An Eloquent Letter.

| The louisiana Courier publi-hc. Al
eloquent letter written By a Mississip
pi democrat to fiisndin Florida, {
whig. We make the following cx
tract:
"You have learned by this time the
election of Basks, and have, perhap.
seen the result Of the recent X n
convention in Philadelphia. Surely,
the eyes ofevery Southern man should
now be opened; surely, oil prejudicc-
ought to be laid aside, and if the pre-
scrvation of the Union is really desir-
cd-ifthc constitution is TO be handed
down to our children, as our father
transmitted it to us-then we should
forget past differences and rally round
the only party which promises safety.
The question is, which is that party?
Let the great men ofthe old whg par
ty q mean southern mcn) answer.
Where are they to be found? Acting
in heart, soul, and might with the
democratic party. What doe, the So
called American party WANT That
Americans shall rule America Where
is the bastard who dares say to the
contrary Where is the wretch who
has so far forgotten the glorious past
as to believe that the time will ever
come when Americans will not rule
America WHY, sir, Americans now
rule, comparatively, the civilized
world, And tell me to be afraid that
n parcel of ignorant foreigners, unac-
qunintcd even with our language
without means, or unity, or strength
that they will get the supremacy,
over us; why, the idea is dcgradingly
absurd: it has no parallel in the re-
cords of the world, Let those who
fear it turn to the history Of our revo-
lution---let them read it, blush, and
shed tears over tho memories Of the
dead, who, although many Of them
foreigners, feared not, for liberty sake
TO measure their strength with the
thsn most dreaded of all nations
"But the American party desires to
put down Catholicism. My Christian
friend when religious truth is assail-
ed we have a protector--cven our
Father in Heaven, who will arise to its
defence. lfCatholicism be Of men, il
will fail Ifit be Of God, land they
worship the same Father, Son and
Holy Spirit that we do) let uspausc,
lest, unhnppily, we be found striving
against Heaven"
