STILL ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION
Doctor Hayes, the surgeon of Kane exped;.
ton, has published in the New York Trb-
une his plan for another attempt to reach
the North Pole. He adopts the geooranb;-
cal ideas of his lamented commander as -,
basis of operations, proposes to follow the
coast line of the continent, instead of that of
Greenland, in a journey to the North. Hs
thinks that vessel of only hundred tons
with fourteen men, equipped ACCORDING to
his ideas of what is necessary to health 50.
curity, and rapid exploration, will be suHi.
cient to accomplish purposes of the highest
interest to science. He asserts that it i
possible to greatly diminish the dangers Of
the journey by the proper equipment of an
expedition. Scurvy is the most terrible enc.
my to be feared, and the Doctor thinks that
the methods ofpreserving meats and veret.
ables in all their first freshness, which have
recently been discovered, have furnished
preventative for the dreaded disease. The
extreme cold, he further contends, can be
withstood with attention to clothing, fuel
food, snow-houses, and vigorous exercise
Besides the scientific results to be obtained
DIR. Hayes says that it would be an act Of
true humanity to rescue the one hundred
and fifty Esquimaux from their perilous life
at Smiths Sound, and bring them south
ward, to where existence is easier, and Lris-
tianity may spread its blessed influence
among the benighted ones.

marks made by me as regards climate in
connection with its influence upon the CUES
ton of slavery in Kansas, after that issue
had been abandoned there, which views
were consolidating the union between con-
servative Free State, and pro- slavery Dem
ocrats, SO as to prevent the confscation of
the small number of slaves then held in
Kansas, have been denounced by MANY
distinguished Southern Senators, who, when
the Kansas Nebraska bill was pending in
Congress, and when such remarks from
them, if ever. might affect southern emigra-
ton, were then loudest in proclaiming that
because of it's climate, Kansas could never
become a slave State. Indeed, it seems
that all persons in and out of Kansas.

publish what opinions they please as re-
CARDS these questions, except the Governor
of that Territory, who has SO little power
and no patronage.
And now be pleased to express 70 the
President my deep regret as regards our
unfortunate difference of opinion in rela-
ton to the Lecompton Constitution, and to
say to him, that as infalibilty does not be-
long to man. however exalted in intellect

has committed any errors in this respect
may they be overruled by a superintendipp
Providence, for the perpetuation of our
