Washington Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE President has IS
sued a proclamation stating that associations IN
Kansas, as we'll as those in other remote States
now organizing, Interfere with domestic institu-
tons of the Territory, He declares that the
whole power of the general government will be
exerted to the support of the Territorial laws and
the suppression of revolutionary movements.
The House had three unsuccessful ballots for a
printer. Nothing of importance in the Senate.
The Missing Steamer. y
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18th The Secretary ofthe
Navy has authorized the steam brig .Ayrttc, Lieut..
Hartstlne, commander, TO go in search Of the mis-
sing Collins mail steamship Pacific. The .arcttc
proceeds from New York to-day, if she can get
her stores on board in time.
New YoRk, Feb. 13.-Nothing having been yet
heard of the Collins steamship Pacific, Capt.
Eldrige, now out twenty-oned days from Liver
pool, the agents of the line have chartered a
steamship to leave in her place, with the mails
of Saturday next, the 10th inst.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 10. The weather here has
again turned cold, and the river is without
change. The -four market is dull at Sc IS per
barrel for supertine. Sales OF mess pork at Sl4
per barrel. Whiskey is unsettled and dropping,
with a few sales at % 1-2 a 24c. per gallon.

Fuller-do not r~ecollect that his past course has
ever attracted our notice; but we read amlss his
horoscope, if he is not destined to be a man OF
mark, when the honest, conservative and patrlo-
tic people of this country shall once more have
resumed their supremacy"
We might, as we intimated above, have gone
on to an indefinite length in showing the noto-
rious lack Of consistency as characteristic of
the Democratic party. But we must not tres
pass further, in one subject, upon the attention
Of our readers. They have seen enough to
agree with US that the great Democratic party
has shamefully deterioated since the demise of
that great man, who in the ludicrous yet char
a~cteristic scene above described, stamped in
"living light" the virtue of uniting action with
declaration-the basis of his personal and po-
liticaI success-and which success made not
less palpabIe that consistency" is the bright
est jewel in the diadem of any political party.
And, as we intimate above, when the opposite
of that principle is forced to be p~ractised by
party in the hope Of effecting its ends, it is
self. evident logical and philosophical truth that
such party is losing its caste, its dignity and
its power-as upon the same principle it il
known that an opposite course infuses courage
| gives hope and confidence, and a thousand 9th
er virtues which unite as a lever of strength
and render success inevitable. "Oh, Consis'
tency thou art indeed a jewell"

WHAT THE SAME Mourn SPEAKs.-The Black
Republican organ at Washington, the National
Era, is very severe on the American party. 1t
stigmatizes the members of it as Union-savers, and
slavery propagandists. That is the language Of
one side of the anti American mouth. The South.
ern Sag-Nicht journals are equally severe upon
the Americans. They are here stigmatized as the
allies of anti-sIavery and dangerous to the South
and ought to be put down. That is the language
of the other side of the anti Anleti can mouth.

ANTICIPATES OVERFLOW.

We have seen several paragraphs lately, all
agreeing as to the certainty of there being an
overflow Of the rivers the coming Spring con-
sequently we may anticipate M Susually high
water mark for the lower Mississippi. Thus
4'forewarned," we can 10 a great degree be
A'forearmed' and ready to meet the opproach
of this r~esistless invader. If not in our power
to avert his e~oming-to appease his wrath with
"'love or money" or frighten him off from bis
intended Visit-we can at least employ our
selves in repairing our old barriers and in maxi
ing new ones, to keep him within his legiti-
mate sphere, that. he may not break in upon
our cultivated fields and peaceful villages, scat
tering destruction and CONSERVATION in every
direction.
The reasons for this expected deluge which
writers assume are too plain to be contradict
ed, are, that the snow in the mountains is anu
sually deep the present season, while the rivers
are already at a tolerably high stage, and COW
cred with thick ice. They calculate that a
thaw alone must produce the result anticipated
not to speak of the consequences in case heavy
rains should occur about the time Of general
thaw, which is not unlikely.
Being then apprised of the danger they have
reason to apprehend, our planters (whom ii is
our duty TO inform Of everything respecting
their interests) win Be npon their guard ia
thoroughly strengthening their Leyees; and il
is q fit occasion for the Leyee Commissioner
to exert more than their usual vigilance, and to
exercise to It's fullest extent their delegated aus
thoriy.
In our town, we can have no feara for its
safety with such an old and tried public ser-
want for Mayor az he who now Oils that chair.
whose virtues, Ike those Of Talleyrandis, secure

doubtless make such suggestions to the COun-
Gil for our protection as bis practical wisdom
and experience should prompt, aided By bis
knowledge of ~thanaasurgics generally while

eye to districts Immediately beyond the corpo-

ssStraight onward says the Albany Register,
in reference to the campaign of 1866; and what
American will not echo the cry? We have
with MS the intelligence, the integrity, the
patriotism, the American sentiment of the
country. We have against Us party trieksters
and inscriptions demagogues of the day; but
what of that! "We are stronger than they, for
we are right. We would snstain the Constis
tusion; they would trample upon Its guarantees.
We would perpefuate our glorions Union;
they would Fend itasunder. We would restore
the instinct Of nationality to the American heart;
they Wonld wipe it out forever.
We aregafd all the people of these States as
our brethren, bound to us by common sympa-
thies and common ancestry; we regard this
Union as a brotherhood of States, bonRd
together By q glorious history, common indus.

The conflict is bat begun. We have conquer~
ed a pF0gince-We must conquer a nation. We
must move on in serried columns, from Maine

ready ours-we must have all between them!
When this is aecomplished-when the politics
and policy of the Union are Americanized-
when the great principle that Americans shall

~'deaDce, shall become q fixed political trnth, an
