SENu6e uurGris ~ mn Kansas IssrE-Tn our
columns i. morning %il be found report Of the
u marks al Nt, puHat- It'll the Seuatt on Wednesday
h- an tn kaH#At -un. II WilI be seen. not with
,ui good dead ~ t"nshncni, that this gentleman,
with moro cNuita'ipn than ngeninnsnc.s. ventures
the observation thlt President Buchanan. IN his mes
sage has not approved or endorsed the action of the
late kansda Convention, nor has recommended the
admission 81 kanta- with the constitution which il
adopted il s evidently forced and absurd CON
.trleion a' a language Of The massagc. and we are
snriP to say, - qubilc more ingenious than worthy
y. q den.IlmI 5nntg and great man. 1t il sug-
gr-tad evidently For the purpose of weakening the
influence and effect Of the position which the Pres
dent ts takcslr support Of the Kansas Constitutions
But the honorable Ha0r Will fail to fix this inter
probation upon the message in " common sense
Judgment o the country. II is perfectly clear that
the President docs endorse and sustain the action of
Ithg Convention. such is the irresistible inference
from his remarks in he portion of his message rclat-
lng 70 this topic H. indicates it is true that he
had expected that the whole constitution world be
submitted and that lin would have preferred that that
course had been pursued: but he contends, at the
same time, thai IN the course which the Convention
Thought proper to adopt, it has complied with every
requisite TO the admission Of the Territory into the
Union.
II this Is not endorsing it, cannot see what else
III means. Although Mr.. Buchanan has not in so
many words recommended the acceptance by Con-
gress OF the constitution adopted by the convention,
this is clearly and inevitably dcducblc from the
whole tenor OF his remarks and arguments, in which
lnhl lne UcllDl III me convention mas
been in conformity to, and has fulfilled every require
mcnt OF the organic law, thus emitting the Territory
TO admission upon its application Such is the clear
meaning of the message, rs it is and will continue to
Ibe understood and interpreted by the common sense
of the country free from all qnibhng and pettog-
iglng distinctions and rclinemcnts.
As to the course which Mr.. Douglas has elected to
pursue on this distracting issue, it is now clear that
our worst apprrhensons are realized, and that this
once cherished and idoized champion and leader of
the Democracy has taken the fatal step which makes
nm no longer one Of us. lie stands now side by
side with the Stewards, the Ilalcs the Bcntons ami
the Greeleys, lie cannot stand within them and still
be OF the Democracy 1t is impossible.

owes bank about $1,000, for which they hold his
no'c lhe dcauting wag announces II thus IN his
paper; There is large and rare collection of the
autographs OF distinguished individual deposited for
SAFE keeping in the cabinet of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank, each accompanied with note in the
hand dwritng of the autographist. We learn that
they have cost the bank a great deal OF money
They paid over q thousond dollars for ours We
hope great care is taken to preserve these capital
and Interesting relics, should they be lost, we
doubt whether they could be easily collected again.
Should the bank however, be so unfortunate as to
lose ours, wel let them have another ut half price
