Political Miscellany.

The spring elections in Maine, with hardly
an exception, indicate a succession of gains
to the Republican party.
If the tone of the public Press is any
indication of the preferences of the people,
then the nomination of Fillmore and Donel-
son, lisa most unfortunate one, for the party
which made it. Forty Journals in the State
of Pennsylvania, heretofore sympathi2inG
with the Know Nothing movement, rcpudiatc
the nomination. The american news
papers in New Jersey, with scarcely AN cX-
ccption, r~cpudiatc the nomination Of Fill
more. 1t is stated that the Americans ol
New Jersey are soon to hold a State Conycn-
ton to nominate Commodore stockton ion
the Presidency. No Connecticut or New
Hampshire journal has yet venturcd to com
nit itself to the American candidate.
\ single Rhode Island paper welcomes
Fillmore, but repudiatcs Doaclson. The
American state convention Of Rhode Island
renominated the present incumbcnts for state
officers. Strong resolutions were adoVtcl
condemning the repeal of the Missouri com.
promise and the general course of the admin

The Dictator Of Nicaragua evidently intends
to keep the fact of his existence prominently
before the eyes Of men. With the Peace
Conferences in Paris, the difficulties between
America and England, and the great political
questions at issue in this country, as com
p%etitors for public notice, there was danger Of
his dropping into the back grounl. The auda-
city Of his recent seizure of the vessels Of the
Transit Company andthe weighty consequences
involved, have, however, placed his name at
the head Of many n lengthy article of late,
and given him a new lease of notoricty.
Mr.. Walker is undoubtedly a remarkable
man. The successful accomplishment of his
f1ray into Nicaragua the establishment of
himself in power the maintenance OF any
kind Of discipline and authority over an
army like his, composed Of lawlcss rowdles,

tic ports, not over well fed and paid in pro-
misses instead of money the spoliltion OF ii
wealthy and powerful commercial a~ssocia-
ton, composed of American citizens, and en-
titled in a greater or less degree to the pro-
lection OF the United States Government,
show surprising holiness and no little capa-
city. 1t will be for no lack of decision and
energy if he fails Of permanent success. The
only obstacles at present in the way OF his
onward march to power and position among
the rulers Of the earth, appear to be TIC
climate, which kills forthwith four out of
every five Of the new corners who luln
him-the alliance against him Of the neigh
boring governments of Guatemala, San Sal
vador Costa Rica and Honduras, which, as il
is reliably stated, have raised a combined
army of some seven thousand men, and pro
pose if they can to drive him from Contra
America, the hostility of the English an
French governments, who have their own in
terests to look after in that quarter, anC
intend, it il said, to protect them, Gen
Walker to the contrary nOtwithstanding,--an

protection Of the of our citizens

the usurper. II he succeeds in plotting him
self through breakers like these, Mr.. Wake
will do well. lie doubtless thinks he shall
come safely through. Quite likely he dream
that the fame Of Walker the Great will riva
that Of Alexander the Great and Napoleon
the Great and Louis Napoleon the not sC
great. 1t will be a notable instance of TIN
failure of mortal aspirations, if, instead, hi
namc shall prove to be, like that Of Samue

SENATE, March 2O-Nlr. Douglas made an
elaborate speech on the Kansas question,
principally in answer to the minority report
by Judge Collamer. 1t is pronounced rather
smart in spots, unfair and intensely ferocious.
1t admitted in part the Border Rufiln out
RACES at the Kansas polls, but regarded them
as fully provoked by the Emigrant Aid Socie-
ties. 1t stlsmatised the Prostate move

ly but f~orcibly, and Judge Collamer has the
floor. Mr.. Seward submitted a substitute for
Mr.. Douglass bill for the admission of Kan
sas as Il State. The substitute proposes to
admit Kansas under the Free State consti-
tuition. Mr.. James reported a bill to prevent
frauds in the collection Of the revenue, and
making important changes in the tariff. The

Kansas IN the House. Another Triumph
for Freedom.

In the House Of Representatives on We'd
nesday the 10Th, the debate on the Report OF
the Election Committee, asking power to send
for persons and papers IN the Kansas case,
was closed by Mr.. Hickman, the author Of
the report, in a spirited speech. lie asked
the friends Of Free Kansas to sustain the pro
position offered by Mr., Dunn, instead Of the
original recommendation Of the committee
The House then proceeded to vote under the
previous question, and successfully decided
MT to sustain Mr., Orr's substitute providing
for sending a Commission of two Southern
lawyers to Kansas, not to lay on the table,
net to adopt the Committees original pro
position, but 10 substitute M. Dunn's there
for and finally passed this substituted pro
position by a vote Of one huHdrcd and one IN
Hnciy-firo. Mr., Washburn moved a recon
sideration and had that motion laid upon the
table, in order to prevent any future mischief,
and the House adjourned,
BY adopting Mr.. Dumas resolution the
House has ordered that a committee Of three
members Of the House, 10 he appointed by The
Speaker, shall proceed to Kansas and %inyesti-

The knnsns Commission .

The speaker has appointed Mcssrs. l.. ID.
CAMPBELL of Ohio, Mr.. Howard of Michigan,
and Mr.. OLIVER of Missouri, as the committee
to investigate the wrongs of Kansas upon
the spot. The selection is beyond doubt a
good one. The three gentlemen are lawyers
of experience and reputation. Mr.. Camp
bell, whose services and ability have given
him the post of chairman of the mint OF
WAYS and Means, and the leadership of the
anti Nebraska party in the House, is a
man of unquestionable energy, acutcness and
independence. Mr.. Howard is a prominent
Republicanand will ably second Mr.. Campbell.
Mr.. Oliver is from the Border of Missouri
Among his constituents are many OF the
.'rufians,N whose evil deeds are to be dis
closed, and he has defended their action on
the floor of the House. 1t was proper that a
man from the pro-slavcry party should be on
the committee, to satisfy the South that the
facts, if there are any, which can extenuate the
action of the Missourians, are to have their
proper prominence, and the Slave-State men,
at least, cannot complain of the selection of
lltll ItIlCotlllillNC Oll nv 1 ~
a committee so made up, the Free-Statc men
OF Kansas have nothing to fear and much to
gain, The only objection of weight, to the
composition of the Commission, appears to be
the fact, that the important committee of
Ways and Means cannot well spare its chair
man. 1t is suggested that Mr.. Campbell may
on that account, decline. The investigation
will consume at least two months-the com
mittec being determined to have a thorough
scrutiny. They will take a clerk and steno'
graphcr with them. and two or three marshal'
to subpoena witnesses. Gov. Reedcr will, also
it is stated, accompany the Committee to The
Territory.

the vacancy.

FSOUTHERN MEN FOR KANSAs.-A Nash
willie (renn,) correspondent of the New York
Tribune says there is not a train OF cars that
passes over the railroad between that place
and Augusta, Ga, that does not have quite
a number Of men outward bound for Kansas
and they are forming companies all through
South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.
These companies Of men are all of them armed
to the teeth, with S~harpc's rifles, revolyers,
bowie knives, Ne. Their captain is called
treasurer. The railroads all pass them free,
and the company from Charleston, 5. C., came
to that point free Of all charge. Each man is
provided with a certificate, certifying that
the bearer : is "a Southern man in sentiment,
and cmigrates to Kansas with a bona fde
purpose of becoming an inhahitant thereof,
and Of aiding the constituted authorities in
maintaining the government and laws now
in force in said Territory, or such other laws
as may be passed for the preservation of
slave institutions" They all say they shall
return home as soon as the question is de-
cided.
