Senator DoreLAs' opinion is, says the l,Fg'aidA)
that the result lof the hate eleotonl will be TO keep
slavery cut of the observation-disclosures, OF course,

opinion on the part of Judge DouelAs or any other
prominent Northern Democrat. -=Rapabsiedn
The main issue in the Presidential election, in
the opinion of Judge Douglas. and We presume
also in that Of the Republican, was the accept
ance or rejection by the American people Of the
Kansas bill. Senator d. constituting the election
of Mr. Buchanan as endorsement of that BILL
il was legitimate 10 infer that whatever he be-
lieyed would be the effect of that measure whom
practically applied, he regarded AS n result of
the election in which that measure was passed
upon aud approved. To ascertain therefore what
Judge Douglas opinion is as TO the bearing of
the late election on slavery in the Territories,
we have only to ascertain what he thinks will DO
the effect of the Kansas bill upon that interest.
To do this. and fully justify ourselves in the con-
clusion the Republican conirover's, we have only
to repeat the passage quoted from his speech at
Ontario We hope the Republican will particu-
larry note his language;
aTbe objection to this doctrine, the doctrine Of
the Kansas bill as applied TO our new Territories,
that the people of such Territories, If left TO them
selves might legsate into the country the cria of
slavery as well as other crimes he answered by
showing, from the we-known history OF the United
States that IN the Of is right Of sefgorern
raen instead of so doing six of the original thirteen
colonies which commenced by being slaye-holding
colonies had actually osancpated their states, without
the least coercion from the Government OF the United
States and the result ,eouid folioW az ho thought,

slayehoding States would only give them the priv

Kansas n where slavery has not yet been introduced
acre IN no danger Of admitting the tHstaon os eds
against the general ant r9dices qf The Poo
PIE Of the country, boh North and South.
We ask the Republican to consider calmly and
without prejudice. whether it is not plain that
Senator Douglas thinks the effect of the Kansas
bill land the election endorsing it) will be to
keep slavery out of tho Territories ! And wheth-
er we were not strictly justified in the opinion

Message Of lac Governor OF x;ssOuri

Gov Price. of Mo-. in his annual message rep
resents the finances Of the State ms in pros
porous condition. and urges that. in order TO
maintain that position. there should be NJ reduc-
ton in the present rate Of taxation. A large por-
ton Of the message is devoted to the subject of
banks and currency, and the Governor recon.
mends that in case the proposed amendment to
the State Constitution, authorizing the creation
of a general banking system, should fail to be-
come part of the organic law. the Legislature
should extend the charter of the Bank of Nilsson,
ri for such period as it may deem prudent, and in
crease its capital 10 the full amount authorized
by the constitution.
The State Geological Survey is progressing
rapidly and favorebly. The Stn,e University
State Prison, Deaf and Dumb Asylum. &c, are
said 10 be in good conditirn. The message re-
commends that the salary of the Govern II be in
creased from $4,000 TO $4,000 par annum, and
also recommends increased pay 70 other servants
of the State at Jefferson City. The construction
of the Pacific Railroad is also advocated, as cal

The probability almost amounts 10 certainty
that new British expedition is to be sent in
search Of the remains Of Franklin's party. There
is no hope Of finding the unfortunate explorers
it is true; but it is highly probable that papers
and memoranda remain. which may yet be re-
covered. or at least some trace of personal re-
cords. The latest accommodations of knowledge
gathered on the spot. which would decay and be-
scattered in time, may new be found; and this
possibility has stimulated the spirit Of enter
prise TO another effort.

In her life Of George Washington, Mrs Kirk
land gives IL one close view of that stately lady,
Mrs Martha Washington.
"If we were to give our private opinion" says
Mrs Kirkland, ave should say that Mrs. Mar
tina Curtis Washington, with her large fortune,
her st,ong domestic tastes and affections, and
her dgtful common sense character, exercised
her fall share of influence over the Commander
in Chief of the Armies Of the United States OF
America.-She had very decided way of spea-
king, and as she never medded in public affairs,
we can ensy imagine the General letting her
have her own way pretty mach everything
else.
IA guest at Mount Vernon happened to sleep
in room adjoining that occupied by the Presi-
dent aud his lady Late in the evening when
people had retired tn their various chambers, he
heard the lady deliver very animated lecture
10 her lord and master upon something which he
had done, that she thought ought to be done diff
ferenly. TO all this he listened in the profound
est silence, and, when she, too, silent, he o.
pened his lips and spoke. "now. good sleep to
YOU. my dear" lhis anecdote of the great man
in his night cap is quite charac ters,ic OF him,
but it is equally so of most lords and masters
who, we Imagine, all receive curtain lectures as
Mr. Caudle nnd Washington did, in profound 81.
lence,-Experience, probably, teaches them that
il is the better way.

article in relation to few of the grounds of ac-
ton on the claims of Revolutionary officers
On the cath Of August, l5al Congress resolved
that the resolution OF The 9th of May l77s grant
ing haf-pay for seven years to the officers of the
army who should continue in service to the end of
the war be extended to the widows OF those officers
who had died should thereafter die IN the service;
or, if there be no widow h the orphan children OF
the officer so dying
By a resolution Of the alst October, 1850, the OIL
GERS to be reduced under a new arrangement of the
army were to be allowed halt-pay during life and
those who continued il service 10 the end of the war
were declared entitled 10 half-pay during life. This
brings 10 mind the fact that the 22d March, ISL
Congress ascertaned that upon loan office certificates
and other loans made for the uss OF the public there
annual interest Of more than million of
dollars and having no means TO discharge either the
principal or interest, it determined to ask au-
thority from the States TO levy duty imports and
prizes TO be continued until the debts contracted
the faith of the United States should be fully and
finally discharged.
BY n resolution OF the sth OF May, 1891, chaplains
were included in the promise ofhalf- pay BY areso-
luton Of 22d March, 1888, Communication OF five
years full pay in lien of hali-pay for life was pro-
Yided and its acceptance will be signihed by reg-
ments or corps. A majority agreed TO receive the
communication Settlement was made by certif-
Gates payable in ten years, bearing interest but
these became very mach deprecated in consequence
Of the embarrassments Of the country and sold
for very small amounts and this depreciation affords
a strong argument for the present Claim.
On the seth January, 1894, il resolved that
half pay should not be allowed To any officer except
to those to whom W had been expressly promised.
On the 9th Of March, 1885, il was further resolved
that those officers retained under the resolution of
3lst December, 1854, were equally entitled to the
half-pay or communication promised with those who
retired under resolves of the Sd and sst Of October
1880.
1t may be remarked that the promise OF half 10
officers who might continue in the service TO the end
Of the war was made on the suggestion ofGen. Wash
ington, who found such measure indispensable to
maintain the efficiency of the army.
The bill now pending provides for ha,fpay TO such
officers as included in the promises of Congress
TO run from the close Of the in 1888 up TO 1920
flor those who lived sclong) the period which the
Communication pension act Of 1928 took effect and pay
ment is TO be made to the widows and children
equally, and if there be no widow or children then

Tho latest account of the progress OF the civil
war in China have not been either very clear
or very particular. All that we know is that the
rebellion is by no means over, but which party
the insurgents or the imperialists-are meeting
with the greatest success is n matter lett almost
entirely 10 the speculation aud conjecture Of the
newspapers aud the letter. writers. CT these
specuations and conectures there is no dearth
but the most conspicuous elements, it must be
confessedare their Inconsistency and confusion
One of tho latest reports lin the Friend of China
October l3th) is that the Emperor of Russia has
rendered the Emperor the ase Of the Russian
troops, now about the Amoor, TO aid in suppress
ing the rampant rebellion, and that for such SER
vice there to be large cession Of territory
This will do as text for preaching homlies n
bout, upon Russian ambition in the East it
is difficult TO believe that in view Of tho non. in
terven,ion policy of England tho United States
and other leading nations. touching the Chinese
Rebellion, the Gar has venturod upon any such
impolitio proceeding. The most that can be said
in reference to the story sjust ihis-''it needs

As cheering evidence of disposition on the
part Of the Democracy to 60 in for change OF
policy in regard to the public lands. give place
to the following article from the Valley Demo
orat. an Incorporating advocate Of the State
rights creed of the Southern Democracy. IL
says
From the exhibit of the report of the General Land
Office we learn that forty millions Of acres of
public lands have been disposed Of during the last
fifteen months, of which only ten millions produced
mn equivalent in cash--thc remainder having been
consumed in the shape of military grants, md gifts
to various railroad monopolies. This shameful rob
berry Of the Treasury by spectators ought not 10 be
submitted to any longer. The public lands, instead
of being applied TO the objects contemplated by the
Constitution and deeds of cession, are sqnandered
away upon railroad companies aud hcartleas speeu-
lators who sell them out again at enormous ptohisi
thus retardng the actual settlement OF the country,
and compelling svtticrs TO pay enormous profits to
these soulless corporations The time has come for
the Democratic party either 10 require rigid obser-
vance of its creed upon the part OF all portions OF the
country, or abandon its policy altogether Thls
source o: corruption and speculation should be stop
ped in some way other, or soon the whole public
domain will lie consumed by the. grasping rapaeity
of speculator', to the detrmoat OF the country aud
the government
Can the Democrat devise any more equitable
and efficient means Of rcmedying the injustice
already done and preventing further corruption
than by compcnsoting Tho old States iog the de-
pastarit already commvtedby Congress for tho
benefit of new States and for the fatuie. dividing
out the lands or their proceeds among all tho
States in proportion to their populations This
would at any time have been fair aud Nst but
now it is also expedient and nece ssary, to pre-
vent continued abuses and spclia,ions. Let the
