THE JorRNAr or COMMERCE on KlNsAs.-The
sncaling philosophers Of the Journal Of Conlmerc,
do not dare to come out openly in favor of max
ing Kansas a slave State ut the point Of the bay
onet, but erdcavor to dodge the question by pub
fishing articles from Eastern papers. asserting
that the democracy has never expressed itself in
favor OF slavery in that Territory. Ab<ractions and
empty declarations amount TO nothing. Acts
and deeds arc the only real evidences of OPT
rion. The famous Kansas-Nebraska act. in
troducod by Senator Douglas. supported by rs
Oh general principles and reluctantly concurred

OF Kansas alonc-frce and untrammelled- shall

TREAsoSABIE Plot AGAINST THE UNIoN-The
remarkable and singular intelligence given few
days since by Washington correspondent OF the
New Orleans Delta. to the effect that Governor
Wise, Of Virginia, with ether Southern re-eaters,
with the concurrence Of General Pierce and a
portion of his Cabinet were preparing for coup
d'etct at Washington in the event Of Colonel Ere
mon;'s election, is one Of the most curious aud
important political revelations that has yet been
made during this campaign. The correspondent
OF the New Orleans Delr-whose name has been
given to us-is tie friend and confidential agent
Of jefferson Davis, Secretary Of War, the author
and engineer OF the atrocioas policy of this ad-
ministration in relation to Kansas-that is, the
determination 20 make Kansas a slave State-not
by The popular vote. untrammelled and uncon-
trol,ed in any way, but by the military power Of
the government, and at the lannon's mouth. Ii
seems highly probable. from Governor Wise's
willingness 10 act with this movement, that he be-
gins 10 fear the triumph Of Fremont, and that
his prophecy. in speech made few weeks ago, in
relation 10 the probable victory Of the democratic
party, and the consequent advance in the price
Of fresh healthy, strong clear nggers, will not
be realized Hence. Governor Wise is ready for
the coup d6tot-ready to take possession of the
treasury and the archives Of the government, in
the interim between November and March II
would be as perfect coup dda as ever was
struck in France. any of the despotic countries
Of Europe. The correspondent Of the Delta en-
tcriaius 10 doubt that Mr.. Pierce would give his
consent. and 1t seems highly probable that the
poor President has fallen entirely into the hands
Of jeff Davis and his associate fre-eaters
The only doubt il whether the Southern people
will support the are-eatcrs in their violent and
reasonable project. We are very sure that Mr..
Marcy. The Secretary Of State, will strongly OPP
pose any such plot as that Of Davis and Wise.
But for the Intervention of Marcy, Buchanan,
with his Ostend inirigues, would have hurried
the country into a war with Spain and the
maritime Powers Of Europc, on the Cuba
question. Marcy, however, from his posi-
ton in the Foreign Office. has no control
over the movements of the administration with
regard to the Kansas question other matters OF
home policy. 30 the coast is left clear to Davis
and Company, who are continually crying out
against disunion and treason ut the North, while
they are connecting a cogp d'am in the red repub-
lican style. to seize the treasury and take pos
session Of the government. Let the right minded
conservative men Of the Union give heed to these
things.

cmANAN AS A CHoREGRApHIc ARrIsr-Some time
since we had the pleasure Of publishing an Off
cal account of Mr.. Buchanans first love affair.
Ii was taken from the Boston Post, the principal
Eastern organ of the Pierce and Buchanan demo-
cracy. 1t was a sweetly worded and admirably
written document detailing the whole course Of
Mr.. Buchanan's early and only love. We gave it
the benefit Of our circulation, sending it broad
cast over the country, and we have no doubt that
it helped the cause Of the venerable patriot with
all the old maids in the land. Nothing is more
pleasant, amid all the acerbities and seventies OF
the campaign, than this agreeable style of ltera-
ture; and therefore we give in another column
document in relation to Mr.. Bucbanans sata-
torial experiences 1t is copied from the Rich
mond Enquirer, the principal organ of Mr.. Ba-
chanan in the South. II is therefore, official and
may be relied upon. 1t represents Mr.. Buchanan
in the ball room Of fashionable watering place,
tripping it on the light fantastic toe, whirling
giddily about in the vsfuptuous waltz, or heeling
and toeng it in the more intricate pas of the
polka. The account will be read with interest,
and ii will doubtless prove to all our young lady
readers that Mr.. Buchanan is perfectly compe-
tent to figure on the floor of the White House.
Having secured the voices Of the old maids by
the terrible account of his earlier suferngs, all
for love, he now appears in the market to bid
for the support of those young ladies who Won
der why there are no more dancing men. Mr.
Buchanan is a dancing man, and will doubtless
open the White House with bal costume, when
he will, like the estimable gentlemen mentioned
in the popular song, dance all night till broad
daylight and 90 home with the girls in the morn
ing All hands around
BUcHANAN's ELECTION CERTAIN.--A few days
ago the Journal Of Commerce announced that it
had ascertained beyond doubt that Mr.. Blu
chanans election was certain. The statement
was based upon the fact that the Journal had
received one hundred and fifty-six accessions to
its subscription list. OF course, that makes
Buchanan's election a sure thing.

moral and religious element which is now dis
turbed by the immoral and irreligious, unconst-
txtional Snd illegal laws of Kansas Here we
see whcre the new issue is to find its merits
investigated, and the principles of political and
religious freedom, ii ever, are to be Refrigerated
and sustained. A common danger, a common
feeling must arouse the action OF millions of
minds which hitherto have felt no alarm. II is
not with drum ecclesastic" they are aroused
to sense Of their insecurity; it will he, it
is the small but clear voice of conscience
Which calls them to the ballot box 1t is not
with Sharpe's rifles they contend, but with the
franchise Of electors, and the simple inscription of
their preferences. On no other occasion, as We
have before stated, has this moral and religious
feeling Of the country been SO aroused as by these
laws OF Kansas, favored by the President Jeffer-
son Davis aud their political associates at the eN-
pense of the constitution and the rights Of opin-
ion and conscience. which are enforced by the
army OF the United States with more than Crom-
wellian violence, and are to be maintained with
out scolple or relaxation by Mr. Buchanan. tits
this conviction OF the religious as well the pat
rio:ic mind, which gives to the coming contest
an Importance almost beyond belief.
For the first time in our history all these mo
raj and religious influences win be awakened to
action in the Presidential contest. Forty thou
caud churches and thirteen millions Of people
are aroused to the consideration Of questions
vitality affecting their liberties and perfectly con-
stitutional in their character. and what is to pre-
vent them from uniting in rush at the elections
ant. carrying every free State in the Union for
Fremont, who is the only real representative OF
the principles which have been thus outraged?
