The Odd of February.

An appropriation has been made by the Board Of
Aldermen of the city of New York, for the cele-
bration of washington's birth day. An order has
been introduced, says the National Inteligencer,
into the Senate of Massachusetts directing that a
message be sent to the House proposing suspen-
sion of legislative business the 22d of February
and convention on that day at noon, to commem-
crate the 124th anniversary of the birth day of
Washington when the Farewell Address should be
read by some one elected for the purpose, and the
Governor and Council and all the State officials be
invited to participate in the tribute to the memory
of Washington. The Inteigencer adds that the
disposition seems to be gaining ground to make
the 22d of February a holiday.
We should be glad TO see corresponding dispo-
stion to obey the constitution and laws of the Re-
public That would be the highest honor which
could be paid to the memory OF Washington
Reading his farewell address in the Massachusetts
Legislature would be solemn mockery. 4 State
which is the hottie Of sectional fanaticism, and
which has deliberately nulted solemn law and
constitutional provision of the General Govern
ment, cannot atone for that cardinal sin by the
hollow ceremony of celebrating Washington's
birth day The most sincere and eIfectual mode of
celebrating it would be to repeal the Personal Lib
erty Bill.
If any Southern State had nullified law Of the
General Government and especially law affect
ing Northern property, would not the drum long
since have beat to arms, and the soil been deuged
with fraternal blood 1t is enough to make the
coolest blood boil to the injustice and inequality
to which the Southern States seem doomed

KANSAS.

Affairs are still unquiet ia Kansas. The organ.
tied hirelings sent by the Abolitionists to that
country constantly seeking to excite strife and
bloodshed. These emigrants, bought up by the
Northern societies, raked from the sewers of the
great cities, many of them no doubt, highway rob.
bers and penitentiary birds of every kind, being
regarded as more valuable for such purpose than
private citizens are beginning in the new Territory
that career of crime which made them such dan
gerous citizens in the Northern States and rem
dersd the whole community as anxious to get rid
of them were the Abolitonists to employ them
for their nefarious purposes. These scrapings of
the vilest purlieus of vice In the Northern manu-.
featuring towns, are the chosen champions OF
freedom" in Kansas and are revealing in deeds of
inesndiarism and assassination. We trust that the
'border ruffians" will soon deliver Kan sas from the
gang of robbers, houseburners and marauders In
general, with whom it is now infested, and whose
Idea OF liberty seems to be the liberty to violate
with lmpunity. all laws humane and divine"
