TIE TROUBLES IN KANZAs-WHAT HAS
CAUSED THEM The following strong and
practical extract from the pen of Judge D.
o. Shattuck on the origin of the present
troubles in Kanzas, was written to be in
corporated in his late letter to the Demo.
cratic State Cestral Committee, but was
omitted for the sake of brevity:
1.-The difficulties in Kanzas are uow feed
ing the flames of sectionalism that is raging
in our land, and render it expedient for US,
instead of running mad with the excitement
that has sprung up either North or South
respecting it, to carefully survey the field OF
controversy and ascertain the cause of the
commotien 1t was not the passage of the
Kanlas- Nebraska bill by Congress, for that
is so simple, 50 republican. so right in itself,
that no one can well gainsay it. Withal, it
is precisely the same plan of government
provided for every other Territory as well
as KaDzas, and if the mischief was foand
hidden in the provisions Of that law, We
should sec the same trouble in Nebraska, in
Oregon. in Washington, in Utah. and in all
our territories. Yet all are quiet under the
same law except Kanzas-consequently it is
no, the Law of Congress establishing gov
ernmsnt for them which has caused The
trouble What has caused iss Yhe answer
is easy. II was the interference of commn-
mites outside the Territory to settle the fu-
ture government particular way. Nothing
is clearer than that the inhabitants OF "A
territory. where government is first given
them by Congress, and those who may alter
ward voluntarily and in good faith settle
amongs, shom AS citilens. should shape the
Territorial government afterward, &C The
State government. when it shall become a
State
No sooner hid the bill passed Congress,
giving . government to kanzas and Nebras-
ka. than very considerable portion OF tho
free Sta'es. led by agitatess. lifted their
hands seemingly with holy Lorrsr. New
England clergynen left their ussai lasors--
md fed their fbDcks on what they called the
ensrmities of thi. asa OF Congress. instead OF

proper remedy. Thousands of clergymen
respond to the suggestion, and their pul pits
resound with their earnest appeals to thslr
countrymen 10 come TO the rescue
THE substance of the whole is this :
|. !. KANzAs was open to settlement, and
citizens Of any State had the right to mi
crate there and become citizens.
>. THE BONA FIDE settlers of the country
possessed the power Of making their own
constitutional government, uniDtiuenced by
the people OF any other State or territory
3. HAD NO OTHER STATE attempted to
control their polls and establish II govern
ment for them, there is no reason to suppose
trouble there any more than in Nebraska or
New Mexico.
New ENGLAND first interfered by ag-
itatng the subject, raising funds, hitting
out and sending colonsts there for the
vowed purpose of controlling the polls and
the government, and was guilty OF the first
wrong
New ENGLAND interference led to Mis-
souri, interference. 1t did not JUSTIFY it, for
one wrong does not justify another, but it
palliated it, inasmuch as he who commits
the first wrong, has the greater sin.
THE CIRCUMSTANCES of Missouri outvot-
ing New Englad, does not justify the latter,
alter committing the first sin, TO call thor
brethren of Missouri hard names, and send,
ing Sharpe's rifles to Kanzas with men to
use them, either in or out of Kanzas, in
shooting their brethren.
As New ENGLAND COMMITTED the
first wrong, so let it be the first to repent,
and Withdraw its forces and let kanZas like
all other territories, have the privilege of
of establishing such a government as ma
jority shall approve.

P0iitieaiNews by the Steamer.

The political news by tho Orizaba is most
favorable to the success of the Democratic
nominees, Buchanan and Breckenridge
The Democracy will carry the great States
OF Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and New
Jersey by decided majoritios. The Demo.
cratic prospects in those States never were
brighter than now, and the party is confident
of success. The n Y. Tribune, the organ
in-chief of the Black Republicans, does not
consider it q fixed fact that the States men,
toned above will be carried for Fremont,
and urges its Internal crew of hellish Union
sliders TO further exertions if they would
succeed. The miserable rabble Of sectional
fanatics have done their utmost, and their
high priests are yet in despair. They see
they have presumptously appropriated to
themselves, are still attached to the Union
and the Constitution, and will cast their
Electoral votes for the National Democratic
nominees.
The formation of Fillmore or X. n Elect
toral tickets in the States of Michigan and
New Hampshire, will have the effect to di
vide the opposition and give those States to
the National Democracy.
An important feature in the news is the
fact that the Black Republicans and Know
Nothings are endeavoring to unite their
forces against the Democracy, in the States
of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, shows
that the opposition have despaired of being
able to beat the Democracy, have thrown
aside their principles and platforms, and
Black Republicans embrace Know Ncthing
ism, and national Know Nothings take the
sectional Blacks to their bosoms-and all
for the spoils of office! What care men who
thus abandon their principles for the hap
piness and prosperity of their country'--
What influence should men have who bar
ter principles for the spoils of office, Such
is the position to which the opposition are
driven in Pennsylvania. they would rath.
er see the Union severed, and the American
Flag, that proud emblem Of great and
free nation, torn from the dome of the cap
itol, than see the nation united and happy
and prosperous by the triumph of the De-
mocrasy. That is the chars cter and feeling
of men who barter their principles for spoils.
Let them fuse--and Pennsylvania will re-
fuse to cast her votes for a Know Nothing,
Black Republican, mulatte party
The story that Mr.. Buchanan had offered
the embassy to England to Mr.. Fillmore if
he would withdraw, is of course sheer fab.
rcation of the unprincipled and fusing op-
position.

CONDITION OF WIRsEN

CONDITION OF WIRsEN. Mr..
Wirsen, the snake charmer, who was
bitten by large rattlesnake on
Wednesday evening, in an attempt
to exhibit its fongs to number Of in
credulous spectators, is deemed to be
in a critical position. The symp-
toms yesterday were of character
to render his recovery at least doubt
full. Considerable gastric inhama-
ton existed-the result of his ex-
treme draught of braney; his left
arm was much swollen and discolered
occasioning him great pain, and was
sensitive to the lightest touch ; and
the swelling and discoloration were
spreading over his left breast. The
finger which wasIwounded became ap-
parentli lifeless within twenty min
utes after being bitten, and has so
continued. He seems to be impress
sed with the idea that he cannot sur
vive, and yet asserts that if he should
he will continue in the same business,
being confident that the snake would
not bite him intentionally. We un-
derstand that he is slightly delirious
at times. He was removed yesterday
morning from the Diana" to the At
lantic Hotel, corner of | and Ninth
streets, in carriage, being too weak
to walk.-Uaion.

NUMBER 10,
The Mineral Lands.

The Sonora Herald (K N.Y. has lately
been agitating the Wing proposition of Pres
ident Fillmore for the sale Of the mineral
lands of California. We thought this scheme
was dead and had been buried long ago. We
thought that the miners had spoken out suf-
ficiently distinctly on the subject to deter
any man or political party from venturing
the advocacy Of any such absurd ideas. Does
the scheme enter into the policy of the Know
Nothings? Do they intend, by slow degrees,
to rob the miners Of their usufruct, for the
benefit of spectators?
Although the spirit of the government at
present in vogue in the mountain region is
attended by its triAing inconveniences, vet,
as whole, it is admirably adapted for the
development Of our mineral treasures. The
miners themselves are satisfied with it. and
we think it will be well to let we'll alone.
The policy Of the Democratic party in this
State has been to allow the largest liberty to
the miners; Gov Bgler has urged it in all
his messages; and we have seen no reason to
show that that policy should be changed
The effect Of sale Of the mineral lands
would be to throw them into the hands Of
capitalists, in spite of all efforts to the con-
trary; and to reduce the value Of labor. In
stead Of labor being dependent-every man
his own proprietor-as now, it would be in s
comparative condition Of vassalage. Wages
would approximate to the rates paid the mi
ners in other countries and, in all probabil-
ity hordes of Asiastics would be imported
and would enter into competition with the
Americans. As a natural result. the value
of every other description Of labor in the
country would fall proportionatelv. An ir-
recoverable blow would thus be struck at the
industrial energies of the country
The miners understand what laws are most
suited to their wants, and when they require
change in the tenure they will find some
way in which to make their wishes known to
the Federal Government. State Journal.
The Placer herald., 1856-01-19

The London papers again devote great
deal of their space to the AngoAmerican
question. The tone Of the Times is consd-
erably moderated, though it persists in fas-
tening upon the United States the blame Of
originating the excitement.
1t says now, if by chance offence was given
America would always find England ready
to make any reparation which she could rea-
sonably demand"
The London Post, in an article on the Cen
tral American question, denies that Great
Britain has violated the Clayton and Bulwer
Treaty, and contends that the United States
has given just cause for the increase of the
West India squadron.
The Placer herald., 1856-01-19

The DEAR CREAruREs.-The attention of
the ladies is particularly directed to the fol-
lowing, from the New York San:
There are in New York and Brooklyn (says
the editor not less than 5000 "ladies" whose
dress bills will average annually $4,000 each,
or ten millions Of dollars for all. There
are five thousand more whose dress expense
will average $1,000 each, or five millions of
dollars for the whole number, and five mil
lions of dollars more would not cover the
dress expense of those whose bills average
every year from 5000 to $500. Thus, at a
low estimate, the annual cost of dressing our
fashionable ladies is twenty millions Of dollars
Perhaps we could not exceed the truth if we
estimated the total annual cost Of dressing
and jewelling the ladies of New York and its
vicinity from thirty to forty million of dol
lars. The sums which many heads Of fami-
lies in New York spend upon their wives
and daughters for really unnecessary OF
extravagant dress would amount in few
years to handsome fortune. We have
heard instances Of ladies whose dress bills
independent Of jewelry, for single year
have been as much as six or seven thousand
dollars.
