"a RENoyAI.--We have every reason to be
lieve that this morning, Frederick P. Stanton,
ESQ, was removed from the position of Terrific,
rial Secretary of Kansas step, the necessity
of which will be realized instantly by all who
comprehend the purpose of the President in the
matter of the Kansas question to be, as it is, to
take that vexatious matter out of the arena of
national politics as soon as possible of which
policy, according to the journals now sympa-
thizing politically with Mr.. Stanton, he is at
this time q very active and incorporating
opponent.
This measure of State indicates that we are
correct in proclaiming, as we have done, that
there can be no halfway position on the Kan
sas question as it has been precipitated upon
the National Administration and Congress
Those occupying common platform with refer
ence to it, side by side with Senators Seward
and Hale, cannot be regarded rs hereafter en-
titled to Democratic fellowship.

A CAPITAL APPoINTMENT.-The new Clerk
of the House of Representatives has appointed
to be his Chief Clerk-unsolicited, we hear
Col John F. Carter of Pennsylvania, who for
some years past has held the position of assist
ant editor of the Washington Unton. better
selection, SO far as securing the prompt, eff
fcient and satisfactory management of the de-
tails of the business of this now SO important
and comprehensive office, could not have been
made. Nor could an appointment have been
more worthily bestowed, politically. We con-
graduate the new Clerk on his acquisition of
the services Of Col. Carter.
ALL THE DEcENcY.-Owing to some hitch in
tho &c for he ~, Sc
Message North, the copies designed for Balti-
more failed to be received by the press of that
city in time to be published before this morn
ing; whereupon the Clipper grew wrathy, and
denounced the President in its issue of to-day
for "a petty scoundrel, we quote its words
Under all circumstances this is descending to
lower depth of blackguardism than we ever
saw essayed by an American press, as disgust
ingly dirty as too many of them have been, the
Lord knows.
The ADMISSION OF KANsAs.-The bone and
sinew of the Democratic party at the North are
beginning to speak out concerning the course
OF the nominal Democratic newspapers now en-
gagged in fighting the battles of Greeley, CARR
son, &c. Thus, the we'll known Keystone Club,
the most powerful Democratic organization in
Philadelphia, have adopted the following reso-
luton. Viz
"ResOlred. That the assertion Of presses pro-
Tossing the advocacy Of Democratic princ pies
that the Democracy of this State would refuse to
uphold the action Of the legally constituted Con-
venton of the Territory of Kansas, is unit ue and
that Democratic renegades, or old time foes w i'll
receive no sympathy from the Keystone Club
Miss JULIAsA MAY.-The legion of admirers
and friends of this young and brilliant artist
who have testified their appreciation of her
musical talent, are anxious to have an Oppor-
tunity Of hearing her in concert once more
previous to her departure for Philadelphia and
subsequently, Southern tour. The night for
the occasion has not been fixed, but we hear it
will probably take place next week in Carusi's
hall, being the last night that ancient building
will be used for such purpose before under
going complete remodeling for theatre.
REMovED.-The new Doorkeeper of the
House is said to have removed Mr. McCarty,
Of N. Y, from the document room, and ap-

IT'S EFFECT. have as yet been unable
to find the first Democrat in Washington, not
VIGOROUSLY the devotee of men rather than
principle, who fails to subscribe heartily to all
the positions Of the Message on the Kansas
question. The onslaught on them in the Sem
ate yesterday seems to have had little effect
indeed, on Democratic opinion here, thoughwe
have among us, just now, thousands of active
and influential leading Democrats from all
quarters Of the Union
PANIc.-It was noised over the city last
evening that the newly elected Doork eeper de-
signed to-day making clean sweep of all the
House employees under him, including the
two or three Democrats holding such positions
