The Herald has all along professed great indgna-
ton at the Border Rulian outrages in Kansas and
stthe efforts originating end encouraged from Wash
ingon to force Slavery upon that Territory, in Op-
position to the wishes of large majority of the in
habitants. Yet for all that, since nothing can be
done for Kansas--so says The Herdld-one way or
the other until the meeting Of Congress, and as the
Congress which is to act upon Kansas is already
elected, The Herald is unable to divine, or SAYS it
is, how Kansas is TO gain anything by the triumph
Of the Republicans in our ensuing New.lork State
election.
Ifsuch be really the fact-if this lack Of discern
ment be not rathes assumed than actual-then we
must set down the diyining powers of The Herald
as YER, small indeed. The defeat of the Repubi-
cans, aud he triumph of the Democrats, as they
call themselves, would be direct Endorsement of
the whole policy of the Administration in relation
to Kansas. 1t would be an approval BY the State
of New-YOrk of the recognition by the Admins
tration of President Buchanan OF the bogus Border
Ruflian laws Of Ksnsas valid, and the determine
ton ayowed so often to enforce the !1Ns. 1t
would be a direct approval Of the rctelt.vu Vf the
infamous LecOmpte in Office, whom even Pierce
bad the decency to propose to supersede aud would
be an encouragement to the yexatous prose-
cutiODs which, according to the latest Geographic
adyices from Kansas, have been renewed against
Gov. Robinson and others. 1t would be direct
approval of that most iniqutOus distribution lately
made under the bogus laws of the representation in
the next Territorial Legislature, by means of which
one hall of Kansar-the southern half, settled al
most exclusively by Free-State men-has been
virtually disfrnchiscd while the remaining districts
have been so arranged as 10 afford all possibe facl
tiles to Intrusive voting aud fraudulent returns
The Congress elect is rather an odd body for any
real friend Of Kansas to look to for aid. On the
other hand, every effort is dem andcd to prevent the
Northern Democrats in that body from selling
themselves ard betrayiDg the North, as they did
when the Kansas.Nebraska bill was passed. Let
the Republicans be defeated III New-iork, and
Kansas would be delivered over bound hand and
foot, to the tornentOrs 1t is nothing but the fear
Of the Republican party that makes the Admins
tration and Governor Walker pretend to keep up
some show of mpartality. 1t is not that Buchanan
has real desire, as Pierce had, to secure the til
upph Of slavery in Kansas. Very Likely, il he
con,utcd his own private wishes on the subject he
might prefer to see Kansas d Free State. But
while his love Of liberty is very faint, ks feaf of
the shareholders is very great, AID his desire to
appease and ccnciliate them very strong. The
ultra Shareholders late nulliers Of the far South.
are rayening like wolyes The shepherd is timid
old man, who would willingly surrender the choicest
lamb of the flock to secure himself momentay
quiet 1t is nothing bat the Republican watch
dogs within the fold, viglsnt and speaking out,
that can keep the wolves in check. Let them give
place to dumb dogs-wbetber of an old breed or
new onc-et the Republicans be beaten in orr
New.York State election, and the fate OF Kansas is
