THE LONDON TIMES ON GENERAL cAss

The London Times, after quoting from one
of General Cass's late war speeches, CHS ey.
hortations to brotherly love, and his own exem
plifcation of that virtue" says:
"The only comment we make. is TO ask H..
American public-which, on our word we no
lieve to be very like the British public-wbetb.
er Mr.. Cass is genuine specimen of the Amer
lean dove, and his speech is true sprig from
the American Oliver
The article concludes as follows.
"To the general question, apart from tba
agreeable episodes imported into it by this
amicable peace maker, we have only to call the
attention OF the Americans to two or three
points, which they may take on our word. The
British people bear no ill-will whatever to the
Americans; they have no designs whatever
against them, and take quite as much pleasure
IN hearing OF the unbounded extension of the
Anglo-Saxon family, language, commerce, reli-
glon, and laws, IN the New World, as the Amer
leans can possibly do themselves.
They don't think it worth while to rake mn
the histories OF the American wars, and are al
most to man of opinion that the Americans
were IN the right to assert their independence
and deserved all their success. They wouId
certainly feel war with the United States 70
be an unnatural, disereditable, and inevitably
unfortunate one, inasmuch as neither side could
gain honor by it, nor any advantage which
peace will not bring spontaneously in time
They are of opinion that two such great, popu.
lous, wealthy, and energetic States, could not
possibly 60 to war without inhicting great loss
es upon one another; and that such is our
common interest in peace, that the triumphs
and disasters of either side would be amos,
indifferently disasters TO the other. They woull
much prefer that neither side should suffer an,
loss of honor; they are. however, bound 10
look after themselves, and are only DESTROYS 70
make no greater concessions to the United
States than they would to any great European
State. The gentleman, whose speech we have
commented on above, says that the public press
and we in particular, are faithful opponents Of
public opinion in this country. On his own
showing, then, we appeal to the American pub.
lie to accept our assurance that we have no
other wish whatever than to get out of these
questions without improper and needless hu.
initiation; but that we certainly shall think il
due to our character and position not to make
greater concessions TO the United States than
we should to any other Power in the world

ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THE PHILADEL
PHIA CONVENTION -REPUBLICAN MEET
ING IN KENTUCKY.

On Wednesday, last week, Republican
meeting was held in the Madison county Court
House, in Kentucky. William Stepp, Esq,
presided. A form of constitution for Repub-
ican Association was adopted unanimously,
and also resolve to appoint delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention. Cassius NJ. Clay was
among those who addressed the meeting. He
spoke at length on the position of the Wing
and Democratic parties on the Slavery ques-
ton and on Kansas affairs, and advocated the
necessity of the Republican movement.
A Rev. Mr.. Johns, a Methodist, who goes for
Fillmore and Donelson, intruding on the meet
ing, replied to Mr.. Clay, and in the course of
his speech boastingly eulogized the mob which
drove Brady from Lexington. He was replied
to by Mr.. Clay and Rev. John G. Fee, in sea-
thing speeches, which made the poor creature
writhe. When they had concluded, Mr.. Johns
again illustrated himself, by reading from the
New York Herald an article on Mr.. Clay, in
which he was accused of owning and selling
slaves, and foully denounced in the usual style
of that Satanic press. To this Mr.. Clay replied
with such Indignation and scorn, that Johns

GOV. CHASE AND THE GERMANS OF OHIO.

Translated for the Evening Post from the Cincinnati
NolksbaIt, April H.
The calumnies circulated against Governor
Chase by the Hunker press, especially among
the Germans, begin to disappear before the
just and wise administration of this noble and
liberal man. We have on several occasions
drawn attention to appointments which clear
MIR. Chase from every suspicion of acting with
the Know Nothings. We have now to report
another appointment, which reflects honor alike
upon the Governor and the appointee, and gives
the German adopted citizens further guaranty
of the strictly just aud impartial administration
of the Republican Chase. We allude to the Sc
lection of Mr.. Charles Reemelin as one of the
Reform School Commissioners. This is an
Office of great Importance. Upon the commits
sioners devolves the task of visiting the various
institutions for the reform of youthful criminals,
such as houses of refuge, reform schools, &C.,
in the several States, to decide upon the best
plan for such institution in the State of Ohio,
and to invite proposals for carrying their plan
into effect. Thus MIR. Reemelin will assist in
founding one of the most important and bene-
fetal institutions in the State.
What is especially worthy of mentioning in
this connection is the fact, we'll known here
abouts, that the appointee did not vote for Gov
ernor Chase, but, on the contrary, exerted him
self to secure the reelection of Medil. This is
another proof of the conciliatory and honorable
character of the Governor, who, instead of con-
ferring offices as a reward for party services,
bestows them upon men of merit and ability.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.
PETERBoRo', March 2:

PETERBoRo', March %, 1856.
Ny DEAR DOCTOR: These Garrisonians and
these Republicans cannot understand me. For
instance, the Standard, that came last evening,
says that l would have Congress legislate for
the abolition of Slavery; aud the Era, that
came last evening, says that would have Gov
ernor Chase rescue the fugitives."
Now, il is to the Judiciary that look to, to
declare Slavery unconstitutional, and thus to
abolish it. And what wished Governor Chase
70 summon force for, was to capture the kid
nappers.
If people would or could read me in the light
of my great principle, that there is no Law, and
can be no law, for Slavery, they would not mis-
apprehend me, and therefore would not nisrep-
resent me. This principle will yet triumph,
and then / shall stand indicated. In the
mean time, must be content to pass for a
fanatic and a simpleton.
Truly yours, GERRIr SMITH.

KANSAS IN TINE SENATE.

ast week, Mr.. Harlan presented in the
Senate the memorial of Colonel Lane, elected
by the People of Kansas as Senator under
their new Constitution, explaining in detail
the interlneations and erasures of the memo
rial of the People of Kansas for admission as
State, presented by General Cass few DAYS
before, and withdrawn by him, after a hot dis
cussion, on account OF the questionable charac-
ter of the document. The explanations were
entirely satisfactory to the friends of Kansas,
but its opponents made party question of the
matter, and, by strict party vote, Lanes me-
mortal was laid upon the table.
During the discussion, the Administration
men denounced him bitterly, especially Mr..
Douglas; and we see it stated in the papers
that the Colonel has demanded from the Sena-
tor satisfactory explanation, or honorable
satisfaction. We suppose some correspond.
ence has taken place, but as Colonel Lane is
reported to be member of the Methodist
Church, it may be doubted whether he has sent
Mr.. Douglas a challenge.
point made during the debate was, that
proposition to exclude free colored people from
Kansas, submitted separately to the People.
and adopted, had been Incorporated in the
Constitution, now supported by the Republican
Senator's. Colonel Lane denies this, and states
that the proposition, if adopted, was to operate
only " as instructions to the first Legislature"
| He says:
any recollection now is, that three distinct
propositions were submitted first the Consti
tuition second, the Free Banking Law sections
submitted as an independent proposition; if
adopted, to become part of the Constitution
itself. In the second, the Black Law question
was submitted as separate proposition, to act
merely as instructions to members of the first
Legislature, having in no wise any Connection
with or relation to the Constitution"
The Colonel has learned by this time that
such concessions hurt rather than helm a good
cause. Slavery will not tolerate even Hunker.

The Dominicans seem disposed to assert
their rights as a sovereign people, having re-

Chancellor of the French Consulate. The prob.
