KANsAs.-The accounts from kansas continue
to assure Us of the continuance of peace in that
Territory. Both parties appear to have reached
the conviction that no further outrages Will be
permitted and the settlement of the future des-
tiny of the inchoate State is TO be determined by
peaceable and legal measures. The Lawrence
Herald of Freedom, which has just re-appeared,
after suspension of six months, states that en-
igrants are arriving daily in Kansas, and in large
numbers, by way Of the Missouri river, which is
now once more opened to travellers. The Her.
aid has heard of no late violence along the river,
and believes that none exists, and that persons
will be perfectly secure in travelling in small
numbers to Kansas, if they keep silent on the
exciting issues of the day. The late troubles
have diminished the number of families, but
have hurried forward a large class of young men
and adventurous A line of stages is plying reg
ulary between Lawrence and Leavenworth.
On the other hand, it is stated in some OF our
exchanges that there is imminent danger OF the
outbreak of bloody struggle in Kansas so soon
as the suspense attending the Presidential cleo
ton is over. Both parties have been with much
difficulty restraining their desperadoes from acts
of outrage fearing to produce bad effect on the
election. Now that conservative influence is re-
moved, the old accumulations of hate will burn
like the mines of sulphur" We do not vouch for
the truth of these statements.-Bat. amer.

The telegraph few days since conveyed In
formation that fifteen prisoners tried before the
Court of Kansas had been acquitted on the orig
nal charge of reasonable resistance to the laws
but recommitted for trial on other charges. 1t
appears by letter from Lawrence, under date
of the 9th inst. that only seven OF them were
thus recommitted, the rest being scharged.

THE SUGAR CANE ExPEDITIoN,-An exped-
ton similar to that which was sent to Arabia
and Asia Minor to procure camels has been lit
ted out, under the direction of the Commission
err of Patents, to proceed to South America, for
the purpose of procuring fresh supply OF cut
tings of sugar-cane for experiment in the South
ern States. The United States brig Release. un-
der the command of Capt. Simms, sailed from
the Brooklyn navy yard, New York, on the 9th
inst. having on board the necessary number and
materials for one thousand and eight boxes, each
about three feet in length, in which to pack the
sugar. cane cuttings Mr.. Townsend Glover has
been designated to accompany this expedition
and make the selections.

THE BALTIMORE RIoTs-The Democratic press
is making a great hub-bub about the election
riots in Baltimore, laying all the blame on the
American party. We are no apologists for law
lessness any where or under any circumstances !;
but we desire the truth to be known. 1t is high
" probable that members of the American party
have been guilty of improper acts, but that they
are alone, or chiefly, to blame we do not believe,
nor is there any evidence to prove it. The party
has seen ft,in the exercise of an undoubted right
to seek a change in our naturalization laws and
the foreign population, urged ON by unprlnoipled
demagosues have resented it by acts OF violence
Tn every instance we believe the riots have orr
ginated with Them The Democratic candidate
for Mayor of Baltimore at the late election, in a
public speech advised his ignorant followers to
pursue this course, and the recent riots in Balti-
more were nothing more than a contest between
the two parties for the ascendency, having been
commenced by the foreigners. When the Dem
ocracy clear their skirts of responsibility for the
Empire Clubs, and other regularly organized bands
of bullies, which are employed and paid by them
to surround the polls and drive off peaceable
voters, it will be time enough for them to CEN
sure their opponents. The disgraceful practice
originated with them, and so far as other parties
have resorted to it, it has been in self defence
But the cry of stop Theft is often raised by
rogues to divert suspicion from themselves.

TIE CABINET AND Policy OF Mr. BUCHANAN.
The Lancaster Express says OF all the spec
ulations as to the construction of Mr. Buchanans
Cabinet we have yet seen none that came nearthe
mark. That gentleman has not yet turned his
attention to the matter-not yet being fairly out
of the smoke and confusion of the contest. We
think, however, that we can name two gentle
men who will be offered Cabinet appointments
under the new administration, and we do so now
that our readers may hereafter test the truth of
the conjecture by comparison with the result.
We a.lude to Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, and
Hon. John Appleton, of Maine. Mr.. Appleton
is a confidential friend of the President elect
having been his Secretary of Legation to the
Court of St. James. Mr.. Cobb is regarded as a
representative of the more conservative school
of Southern politicians, and this will give him
the preference over equally prominent men OF
the radical school. The intimate friends of Mr..
Buchanan assure us that the policy of the Rich
mond Enquirer will not be the policy of the new
administrations .f,es

THE ANGLo-FRENcH ALLIANCE FALLING TO
P1EoEs.-The late news from Europe is impor-
tant as regards the changing aspect of relations
between France and England. Public rumor
no longer hesitates to say that an Anglo
Austrian alliance is necessary to counterfeit the
the threatened alliance between Russia and
France. Official information being kept careful
" from the public we have no means OF know
ing how far these new alliances have progressed.
Such hints rs are given on the subject come from
the correspondence of the London journals
The Times Paris correspondent says:
'Whether we'll founded or not, the opinion
is very general that not only does there exist
serious difference between France and England,
on more than one point but also that the latter
has been completely reconciled to Austria, and
that the former is now on more than friendly
terms with Russia and the Austrians in Paris
boast that it is not possible for two cabinets
to be on more amicabe terms than those of Vi
emma and London. That a corresponding senti-
ment prevails between Russia and France is g.
aually believed, and certain ex-Minister OF
Louis Philippe is said to have recently offered
to wager reasonable sum that England and
Austria on one hand and Russia and France on
the other, would soon be more openly hostile.
In Ill these predictions the wish no doubt Is
father to the thought. If these statements are
to be believed the same rivalry that formerly
existed between the French and English embas-
sailors at Constantnople is revived, owing to
to the alarming progress of French influence, OBJ
tanned by their great tolerance in Turkish at,
fairs. Lord Stratford demanded and received
unlimited powers; it being evident that France
had the support of Russia, of course England
accepted the cooperation of Austria. Again,
in the Neapolitan question France has been e.
qually all along disposed TO act in this matter al
so extreme forbearance, in comparison with the
more decided policy of England"

STATE FINANCES. -The Richmond Wing pub
fishes the tabular statements ofthe Second Aud
itor of the State, designed TO explain the finan--
cial operation OF his department during the past
fiscal year. The Wig justly remarks, that the
mode in which the accounts Of the Common
wealth are kept is so absurdly complicated that
only those who study the system closely can
make ''head or tail' of The expostions enanat-
ing from the basement offices. After wading
through the facts and figure now communicated
to the public, the most important conclusions
presented to US are
1st That the Internal Improvement Fund
has been reduced from $43, s47,47, on the both
of September, '55 to s3,576.94, on the first Of
October last.
Cd. That the debt of the Commonwealth has
been increased during the past year t,co millions
one hundred and setentyJour thousand, tou'
hundred and serenity dollars!
Sd. That the said debt amounted on the first
of October last to nearly t'Oenty-seren millions
of dollars

A VERY LARGE 'MARE's NEST DISCOVERED

bility or probability of what they discover is

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. lathe last disunion
manifesto of r. Barnwell Rhett has much more
in it than what appears upon its face. 1t is the
precursor of a series of disunion experiments
which will now be rapidly unfolded, here and at
other points. as the plot thckens. The latest
experiment deliberated upon is coup detdt for
the control of Mr. Buchanan's administration for
the defeat of his election; and if Jefferson Da-
Wis is not the master spirit of this notable
scheme, he may beexpected to profit byi to the
full extent of his powers. eL
On the first Wednesday in December, the
Presidential Electors elected are to meet in the
various States, to cast their votes for President
and Vice President In the interval, it is pro-
posed to bring Mr.. Buchanan, by letter, up to
the mark of the Southern Nulifers, or to com
pass his defeat by giving sufficient number OF
the Democratic Electoral votes of the South to
other candidates to throw the election into the
House. The Nullifiers have their fears of the
Northern Democrats elected to the next Con-
gress in behalf of Kansas as Free State; and
from recent disclosures from Lancaster they also
have their fears of Mr.. Buchanan himself. Hence
this desperate plan of bringing Mr.. Buchanan to
the mark or of defeating his election. The con-
spirators do not expect any satisfactory answer
from Mr. Buchanan-they do not desire it,
Their object is disunion and the spols of South
ern Confederacy They know that in the be-
trayal of the people, by throwing the election
into the House, they may create an excitement
which will result in the abrupt dissolution of
Congress, the suspension of the Government, the
secessions of the Southern States in body and
that bloody Southern Confederacy which is to
be the millennium of their hopes. The late con-
fidential meeting of Henry A. Wise and his as
sociate disunion Southern Governors at Raleigh,
you will discover BY and by, involved something
more than treason and revolution in the event
of Fremont's election.

The Next Administration.

It was hardly ascertained that Mr. Buchanan
had been elected, before the newspapers began
to speculate in regard to the policy of his admin
istration and the composition of his Cabinet
Little or nothing, however, is known or can be
guessed as to one or the other. For ourselves
we believe that left to himself Mr.. Buchanan
would be conservative, but we apprehend dam
ger from that trait of character, or weakness,
which induced Old Bullion to style him THE ia
Gle Mr.. Buchanan He will be surrounded by
men of diverse sentiments Martin Van Buren,
and Preston 7. Brooks-the latest phase of
South Carolina ultraism-Henry A. Wise and
10. S. Dickinson, Pierre Soule and r. M. T..
Hunter. all will be there. One will hold him by
the button, another will tug at his coat tail,
while third will whisper word into his ear :;
and the character of the administration will de-
pend very much upon the faction which finally
obtains tho ascendency. He willhave to choose
between them That he may select judiciously
and administer the government wisely IS GER
tainly the wish of all the Fillmore men in the
country. They have no motive for Offering fac
tious opposition to the new administration, and
every consideration of duty and self-interest re-
ouires them to stand by it in a right cause.
We take it that one of the first acts OF the Ad-
miaistration will be the admission of Kansas in
to the Union as free State! 1t will soon be
found that the soil and climate of Kansas are not
ADAPTED to slave labor, and the measure is eSpe-
cially necessary to bring back the Northto DEM
ocratic allegiance. A few of the Southern ex-
tremists will vapour over it a little, but even
they will finally acquiesce. The party cords
will be found strong enough to hold them with
in bounds. Some of this class of men tell you
now that they scorn the name democracy"
vet the party has no more servile followers
South Carolina politicians boast loudly in Con-
rress about their independence Of party, and oc-
casionally make sham assaults upon the Democ-
racy, bat when it comes to voting Democracy
safely counts upon them to a man. Why, if the
Cincinnati Convention had nominated Van Bu-
rem. South Carolina would have voted for him.
So it will be to the end Of the chapter-or at
least till Rhett and Keitt and Brooks dissolve
the Union and wind up the concern. r.

CONGRESS. According to the best calculation
that can be made, the Senate of the United States
for 1857 will stand as follows buchanan 81,
opposition %, uncertain 2-total 50, with a
Democratic majority of IA. The House of Re
representatives. of the (new orr Thirty-ffth Con-
gress will be about as follows: buchanan 1872,
opposition 102; probably Democratic majority
2S The figures may vary little from the a.
bove, but fair working majority must be con-
ceded to the Democrats. There have been al
ready chosen to the 35th Congress, &C Demo
Gratis and Sc Opposition, giving the latter 90 ma
iority; elections are yet to be held in Alabama,
Georgia Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia-all probably
Democratic, in Kentucky and Maryland partly
Democratic, while Rhode Island, New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut will probably elect Opposi-
ton members From the above named States
in the present Congress, there are 43 Democrats
and 80 Opposition; present majority for the
! former 4.
A FREE STATE IN TExAs.-Some may look up
on such thing as a free State of Western Texas
as improbable, particularly at the time when
such strenuous efforts are being made in Kansas
where slavery does not now exist by positive
law. Yet there is a strong probability that such
an event will occur within the next ten years.
Our opinion is based on the fact that foreign i'm
migration is greater than domestic, by at least
ten to one; and upon the well known fact that
foreign immigration is opposed to slavery, who
quietly tolerate it so long as it is an institution
of the State, but who will vote no slavery when
the question comes up whether Texas shall be a
free or slave State This fact is not generally
known, if so it is not duly considered. The vote
of the adopted citizens of Texas now numbers at
least twelve thousand. In less than ten years il
will be increased to three times that number,
unless the naturalization laws are changed. The
increase will be in a much greater ratio than
that of the native born vote.-San antonio
