re- The New York Courier of the 10th
inst. says: We learn that there large orders
in this city from England for breadstuffs
at limited prices. These prices, owing to
the unfortunate stringency in money at
fairs, have been reached and even shade
lower. The prospect is that there will be
more active export ofhour and grain than
was anticipated, and thus furnish sub
stitute for the.eurrent shipment Of gold.

THEIR CoRRUpTIoN HAS NO BOUNDS
The locofocos of New York are straining
every nerve in the effort to bring the
Americans over to their support, against
the Black Republicans. To effect this
union, they are willing to prescribe forei-
gners; and the Nees, as feelcr, utters
the following:
"In this very matter Of the advancement
of foreigners, the democracy are both
cautious and unservative, and though they
do not exclude or prescribe foreigners
from Office, by far the largest and best
share of the emoluments and honor of the
public business and the public offices ID
enjoyed by the natives of the country
Is not this caution all that any American
can properly require?"
No sir, it is mott We concede that 9Th,
best share" is enjoyed by natives, but those
natives are locOfocos, who would prefer tc
divide with the basest foreigner that tread,
our soil, rather than give Office to al
American. We care not how far locofoco
ism carries its exclusion of foreigners from
Office, after having obtained their votes
that exclusion is based upon no love o
country-it looks to the establishment o
no conservative doctrine whereby tn
purity of the ballot-box is to be maintain
ed, and our nationality preserved. The,
invite immigration-degrade the native b,
placing him on level with the alfsh con
vict, that locofocoism may triumph, an,
then point the American to the fact tina
the native locofocos have the largest shar
of the plumber, whilst he-the American
lis more despised than the lowest foreig
specimen of human degradation, and the
deepen the insult by asking-"Is not thi
caution all that any American can re
quire?"

sss- A week or ten DAYS will settle the

nay A week or ten days will settle the
fate of Kansas, so far as its forthcoming
Constitution is concerned. If that instru-
ment he pro-slayery, and is referred back
to the residents of the Territory will it be
received? We think not. IF it be anti
slavery, and is referred, it will be accepted
by acclamation. If it be pro-slayery, and
is not referred, what will Congress do with
IT'D This is the important question, and
the country should prepare to meet it,
From present indications, the probability
is that it will be pro-slayery-must be, if
the delegates elect stand frm--and that it
will not be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie. Should this be the case, storm is
brewing that will shake the Republic to
its centre, The South will then be united,
to man, in favor of its adoption, while
the Administration, backed by its
northern adherents and the Black Repub.
licans, will oppose it, if not openly, at least
by the weight of its indirect influence
The result, no one can forese. The adop
ton Of such Constitution will effectually
crush democracy in the North, and its de
feat, will expose the trickery of the Kan
sas bill, and force southern democracy tt
surrender southern rights, or abandon it
organization. The character of the Kan
sas Constitution is matter of deepes
concern to the whole country.
