FALLEN INTO DEcLINE.-The anti

Congress, is evidently in state of de-
cline. a recent caucus was attended only
by thirty members, and the Washington
Star says that nearly dozen of those
who voted for Mr.. Banks, took occasion to
make it plain that they are not going to
act in the fall with the black republican
organization. These gentlemen, having
already seen quite enough for their shil-

their reason for SO doing. their want of

The Future Of Kansas.

II at any time In the history of Kansas.
We have bad reason to fear that she would
not prove true to the South, and adopt
similar institutions as her OVID, the present
influx of Southern en,lgrants to the Terri
tory, is calculated to dissipate such vain
coniectures, and place the matter beyond
the possibility of a doubt. As surely as
the sun will rise upon the day of her ad-
mission into the Union as State that
sure is she to the South, for we surely be-
lieve that unless she is admitted into the
Union as a slave State, she will never, by
the consent of her citizens, assume that
position. Northern fanatics may ship to
our Territory, their Sharp's rifles; their
preachers and priests may attempt to invoke
the vengeance of the Almighty upon the
patriots who are in the majority here, but
the men of strong arms and brave hearts
from the South, will not be intimidated by
such arguments, and before they can
thwart the designs of the party now in
power, a different plan of operations will
have TO be adopted. Kansas is settled
with men who will not be terrified at the
sound of the cannon or sight of blood
the men who held the British at bay at
New Orleans. and who drove the Mexi-
cans at Buena Vista, Sierra Gorda, and
ClIapultepec, are ready here in Kansas, to
raise their arms against an invasion of
Southern Rights, by the fanatics of the
North. When Seward. Beecher, Hale,
and Chase, accomplish their dastardly de-
signs, and admit Kansas into the Union
with Constitution of their own framing,
if there is not resistance to such an out
rage, it will be because the sons of the
South are all vanquished. AS long as
one Southerner lives in Kansas, justice and
right will be contended for.
