Slavery i'm Kansas.

As the Slavery question is not involved in
the Kansas ina6r0gJiO, no one can fail to per-
ceive that all the ''nOise and confusion" by the
Administration is for political effect. If the
President governed by principle, if he
had not shown a determined hostility to the
South by continuing his agents in Kansas IN
til the possibility of making that Territory
slave State was entirely out of the question,
we might believe him actuated by even-hand-
ed justice in the recommendation contained
in his message. South Carolina has spoken to
the point in the resolutions which lately
passed the Legislature of that State. That
body says: "Profoundly regretting the failure
OF the Administration to remove Gov. Walk
eT, and being wholly unable to reconcile such
failure with fidelity to the principles of non
Intervention embraced in the Kansas bill, the
Legislature Of the State of South Carolina
are compelled to regard the attitude of the
President of the United States as an acques-
cence in, if not substantial endorsement of the
conduct and policy of Gov. Walker; thereby
ieOPardiziug, if not sacrificing a principle es-
sental TO the preservation of the inter SITS of
the South and the harmony of the contedera-
ted States"
That is the Judgment to which the entire
South, excepting the Ofice-hOlders and paid
cLaquerS Of the Pre7i ent, must come. We
care not what promises and profession may
no longer be deluded by words-cheap words
Against all the President has said in his Mes
sage about Kansas, Ills acts, the true standard
by which men are righteOusy judged speak
in thunder tones of condemnation of him.
There is not a man in all the South, unless
he be poor deluded fool, who entertans the
slightest hope that Kansas will be admitted to
the Confederacy a slave State. The Pres-
dent, and he alone has precluded that hope,

the conduct Of tie divorced wife is certainly
far above all praise.
