The position Of the Ohio Democratic delegation
on The Kansas gaestion.- Washington, Dee o.
The Administration having been advised b!
telegraph that Acting Governor Stanton hat
called special meeting Of the territorial Le
gislature of Kansas, the President to da!
forthwith removed him, and nominated TO the
Senate, as his successor, General Denver, now
Commissioner of Indian Affairs; who left Wash.
ington for the West last week.
The reason for the removal is, that Mr..
Stanton has violated the instr uctions hereto
fore given to both Governor Walker and him
sell, to do no act which could possibly disturb
the peace Of the territory, but exert all the
means in their power to preserve it. The sole
object aud purpose of convening the legisla-
ture, 1t is considered, can be only to engender
strifes, and embarrass the people in voting on
the slavery question in the form proposed by
the constitutional convention.
No definite action was taken by the Senate
on General Denyer's nomination. 1t is anti
cipated that a heated discussion will take place
| when the subject again comes before that body
| i'll secret session. Last week instructions were
sent to Mr.. Stanton to take every precaution
| to prevent disturbances at the ensuing election

of the elective franchise. Doubts are expires.
sell as to whether Governor Walkers name
will be sent to the Senate for confirmation.
Hon William Lawrence, of the 0nio delega.
| tion, distinctly contradicts the statement that
| the Democratic members of that delegation
have resolved to vote against the admission oi
Kansas into the Union, under the constitution
| prepared by the Lecompton Convention. There
has been neither action or discussion Of the
subject among them. ..-..

The AMERICAN SYsrEM.-We arc rejoiced
to lind so general a response from the Ameri
can and Wing presses of the South in favor
of the adoption of the great American system
which Henry Clay sought to establish, and
which the existing financial embarrassments
now again point out as tho only remedy Of the
evils now affecting all branches of industry
and business pursuits. The Baltimore Patriot,
in copying an article of Monday on this sub
jeet, says
We cannot too cordially appreciate that
doctrine which had for its foundation, aim
and the establishment of great American
| System. Encouragement to home industry,
and protection of physical labor are mighty
! problems. The great power and eventual
prosperity of our country rest in them. Had
the wealth and treasure of this nation been
kept at home for twenty years past to pay me-
chanics, manufacturers and laborers for ser
vices rendered in their own domain, instead
Of sending it abroad as an equivalent for du-
| ties performed in Europe-for materials made
| there and worn out here-the present financial
crisis, beyond all doubt, would have been
averted. Instead of. idleness, paralysis of
business, bankruptcy, and the thousand ills
consequent thereon, peace, righteousness and
abundance of labor would have been our
| prominent characteristics.
Wewant and must have purely American
| system. Past experiences, dearly bought, has
established beyond controversy, its absolute
necessity. So long as we indalge in European
luxuries, encouraging extravaganza and idle
ness At home, fostering industry Abroad send
ing our gold across the ocean to pay tor ma
tcrials that should be made within ourselves
just so long must we expect to be in dilicul
ties. Two hundred millions of dollars year
to pay artizans in England, France and othe
parts of the Old World for products, whicl
when worn out by us in few brief months
are wholly vaiucfcss, bringing nothing in re
turn, must ever continue to absorb our sub
stance, monopolize sources of industry, ant
keep us poor, ever subject to monetary revGl.
sions. Truthiully is it said, we want an Amer
lean system, and the best way Of obtaining
this will be through the instrumentality OF !
liberal and purely nationalized American Far
ty.
