who is He :

In the New York Tribune, of the 18th
inst, we find letter upon the subject of
Kansas emigration, dated Nashville, March
IL, 1856. 1t is written in the usual style
of the correspondents of that journal,
when they touch any subject Immediately
or remotely connected with the question of
slavery. The writer says:
There is not a train of cars that passes over
the railroad between this place Nashville I
aud Augusta, Ga, that does not have ante n
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 Sharp's rifles, revolvers, Bowie
knives, DC. Their captain is called treasurer
The railroads all pass them free, and one COM
pany from Charleston, s. O., came to this point
free of ali charge.
The members of these companies, as gen.
eral thing, are young men of good parentage
and quite gentlemanly in their behavior. They
have no fixed motive 10 going to Kansas except
to vote to make it a pro slavery State. | have
conversed with them, and they say that they
intend returning TO their homes again as soon
as the question is decided.
1t is TO be hoped that the Northern men
will arouse to renewed action. The Souther-
ners are going in thousands to Kansas, all arm
ed and equipped for battle. Let our Northern
railroads pass Kansas emigrants free. Why
not2
If our railroad has passed any such
companies as are referred to above, free
of all charge" it deserves credit for the
act, and we hope will continue to exhibit
its liberality. We have seen a number of
emigrants on their way to Kansas, but
none of them were EARNED and equipped
for battle" They had their wives and
children with them, and were seeking to
better their fortunes by settling perma-
nenty in the territory. We suspect the
" Sharp'S rifles, pistols and Bowie knives"
spoken of by the IribuaGs correspondent,
were, like the dagger seen by Macbeth,
creations of guilty fancy.

~, has not single measure of policy on
which the various sections are united"
l6. 1t is fact, that the Mercury tells
the truth, apart from the exception, which
is this: they are agreed on one point, that
Americans shall not govern America.
II. 1t is fact, that the Charleston Mer-
cury says: "On the Kansas bill only forty
four of the Northern wing voted for the
South The philosophy of events since, the
wise understand.
Is. 1t is fact, that the Mercury speaks
thus concerning the pledges of Democratic
Convent onS: History, past and recent,
has already exposed the worthlessness OF
all such pledges" True, distressingly true.
l9. 1t is fact, that the Hon. Percy
Walker, of Alabama, demonstrates that
the Democratic members of Congress, by
their refusal to cooperate with the Ameri-
cans, were the cause of the election of Mr.
Banks.
90 1t is fact, that whatever a party
sows, that shall it also reap. Mr.. Yancey,
of Alabama, assures us, in his address to
the people in l848, that the National Plat
form Committee voted thus-l7 negatively,
to 10 affirmatively, on the question of
amending resolution which denied to Con-
gress any power over slavery in the
States" so as to make it read cor Terrific
ries" In l848 the seed was sown, and in
1855 the crop was reaped. Well may we
reiterste, that whatever party sows, that
shall it also reap.
81. 1t is fact, that Mr.. Yancey offered
in open Convention, the following resolu-
ton, which was rejected by vote of 2l6
to Sc: "ResOLUed, further, that the doctrine
of non-interference with the rights of prop
erty of any portion of the people of this
Confederacy, be it in the States or Terrific
ries, by any other than the parties interes-
ted in them, is the true republican doc
trine recognized by this body" o me!
as the children say. They prate about
slavery and territory now Rather let them
seek thick wells for their faces
These are facts, over which the people
should think calmly, and then go forth to
act in accordance with their teaching.

Government of the scminoIes.

The Florida Ne1os gives the following intor-
nation regarding the government of the
Seminole Indians:
Like that of most of the Indian tribes, the
government of the Seminoes is a limited mon
archy, being invested in principal Chief or
Kink. who is controlled by a council Of the
Chiefs and principal men Of the nation. The
nominal ruler now is Hu-lat to-MikO, or the
Blue King, Familiarity known as Billy Bowlegs
but his authority is very much restricted, the
actual head IF nation being Arpuka or Sam
Jones, who, though l03 years old, and blind,
still exercises mighty voice IN the Council,
and one that, report says, Is invariably opposed
90 Bowlegs. Billy, II is said, Is now, and has
been for q long time past, IN favor of emigra
ton, hat Sam Jones il determined % die ia
Florida, aud vows eternal hostility to the
whites; and it is supposed, upon authority, that
the late attack upon the United States troops
was at his instigstiun.
Some one writing TO the New York Tribune,
from which the foregoing facts, were copied
added the following:
"Billy Bowlegs, like many Of his more civil
lized brethren, is entirely under the control OF
psttcoal government. lie la sister noted foe
her sagacity, eloquence, and unyielding hoslili-
~ 10 all attempts at emigration, and who Is in
many respects most remarkable woman. The
fast friend aud ally Of sam Jones, she rules the
weak aud yascillating King of the tribe with
All iron hand. We are assured that had il
not been for her, the Indians would long since
have consented 10 leave the country. OF
course, she has no voice 81 the council fire.
bot she has otter means 81 influencing her
followers, and, like some other women, she
leaves no means untried 10 accomplish her
fuyr-lse ends.h

The Nicaragua Steamers.

We find in the New York papers the follow
ing Card from the President Of Accessory
Transit Company:
The Nicaragua line is withdrawn for the
present, in consequence OF the difficulties in
that country, growing out Of the extraordinary
conduct Of Gen. Walker in Selling or taking
by force the property Of Americans citizens
/ deem it a duty owe to the public, to the
country, and the Transit Company to remain
quiet, by letting the ships Of the Company lay
at our wharves until our Government has
sufficient time to examine and look into this
outrage committed upon their property. In
the mean time, as ] do not consider passengers
or the property of American ctizeni safe on
the transit of the lsthmus; cannot be instru-
mental 10 inducing either to take the passage.
