Death of James q. B,rnev.

James G. Birney, who died at Eagleswood
Perth Amboy, yesterday morning, at the age of
TO years. has been suffering during the past ~
years from attacks of paralysis, which has re-
Gently been complicated with heart disease, and
aggravated by the infrmities of old age.
Mr. Birney was born at Danville, KY, in
1893. He graduated at Nassau Hall, New Jer-
sey, and studied law with Mr.. Dallas, in Phila.
ielphia. AT the age OF % he became planter
in Alabama, and the owner of thirty five slaves,
but soon afterward entered upon the practice of
his profession again at Huntsville, KY. Early
in life Mr.. Birney became interested in the anti
slavery movement, and not only freed his own
slaves, but induced his father to make such dis
position OF his estate as to leave him his twen-
ty-one slaves, when he set them free at once.
In 1884 he attempted to start an anti-slavery
newspaper in Kentucky, but finding it mpossi-
Bile to procure printers there, commenced its pub
LEGATION in Ohio, where it excited the most VIC
lent hostility. In 1874, when living in Mich.
gan, he became the I" Liberty Party . candidate
for Presidency, and has been thought by the
friends of Mr.. Clay to have largely contributed
TO his defeat. Since that time the public have
rarely heard of him; but he continued to be the
center of circle of ardent friends. That his
youngest son might enjoy the advantages of Mr.
Theodore Yields school, and that he might be
nearer the friends of the reforms which he had
so much at heart, he removed to New Jersey.
Mr.. Birney has been twice married. His second
wife, who was sister of the Hon. Gerrit Smith
survives him. AS a reformer, James G.. Birney
had none of that rancor and bitterness which
sometimes disfgure the advocacy of noble
cause. His character was singularly pure, and
his reputation without blemish Mr. Birney's
funeral will take place at Eagleswood to morrow
at ii o'clock Tribune, 9th

Gov. Walker has had another interview with
the President on the subject of Kansas affairs,
and they also today occupy large share Of
the Cabinet deliberations.
At the cabinet meeting to-day the President
stated Gov. Walkers position on Kansas affairs
The Cabinet unanimously unite with the Presi.

hitting The constitution to the people, and so
condemn Walker. The door to a reconciliation
with Gov. Walkers position is now closed, and
bitter contest between the two wings of the
Democracy is unavoidable.
Senator Douglas has been heard from. A.
the author of the Kansas Nebraska act, he will
take bold grounds in support of Walker. Thi,
the President has not hitherto believed. Doug
las holds that the refusal to submit the whole
Constitution to the people when they desire it

1t may be considered as taking time by the |
forelock to discuss this question thus early, and
it may be considered impudent on our part to
even drop an opinion or guess, as to what the
Republicans may do, but at the risk of being
considered impertinent, we will venture the guess
that one FRED D. LOWELL of Kenosha will be
the Speaker of next Assembly Heis undoubtly
the best qualified of all the opposition elect, ex.
cept Hon j. II Knowlton, who we are informed
would not be candidate. Madison Patriot
Without any disposition to foreshadow, or in
Pterfere with the action of our Republican friends
in the next Assembly, on this subject, we may
with entire truth and propriety, say that no man
in the state is better qualified for theSpeakershlp
or more deserving of such compliment at the
hands of the Republican party, than the able,
faithful and experienced member from Kenosha
city.-Miiraukee Sentinel,
Il is well known that are averse to forestaling
The action of the people or the Legislature in the
selection of officers, but the above are SO evident
ly the tribute to real worth that can but most
heartily endorse them. Mr.. Lowell is peculiarly
qualified for the duties of the Speakership and
we believe would not fail to give entire satisfac
ton to the body over which he should be called
to preside. Our Republican Assembly would
add to its strength and dignity by the selection
Of so able presiding officer.
THE KANSAS CoNsTTFUTIoN.-Thec harsc
ter of this document in come ction with the
slavery question is clearly set forth in the fol
lowing from the st. Louis Democrat:
1t requires but little exposition to make the
sense of the Lecompton constitution plain to the
, lowest understanding. Let us suppose at once
THAT the pro-savery article is stricken out by the
election ON the 21st of December, and then in
terpret the remainder. Under the bred Scott
decision, slavery exists wherever it is not abol
ished by positive law. Hence it is an institution
in the territory of Kansas, and as the transition
from territory TO a State cannot affect it. II
will necessarily be an institution of the State
of Kansas. To give it time to extend and soil
dify, any alteration of the constitution is prohb
tied for eight years; an alteration or amendment
. even then can only be effected by the tedious
circumatory process-a vote of two-thirds o.
each House of the Legislature ratified by vote
of the majority of the citizens of the State being
necessary to initiate the movement. n o amend
ment Of the constitution for eight years; and NJ
amendment then if there be a minority of pro
slavery men to the number of one-third in eth
err branch of the Legislature, and the number o
slaves increasing IN the meantime by importa
|, tons from Missouri, for every Missouri slave
holder who has lot claim in Kansas viii
contend that he has a right to hold his slaves
there and the authorities will sustain him in hii
, assertions.

" 1t is now understood that Gov. Walker,
of Kansas, will be removed before the meeting
OF Congress. His successor is not yet indica-
ted. Walker is entirely too conscientious to
meet the views Of modern Democracy.

CONGRESS. This body assemblies on Monday
next, Dec. 9Th. From various and important
matters before the country, this will be one of
the most exciting sessions we have had for sew
eral years. The Presidents message will be
looked for with no small degree of interest. The
position it will take upon the exciting topic of
avey extension and Kansas matters, is clearly
foreshadowed by what we have already SEEM
The financial condition of the country will no
doubt receive some notice with perhaps recon-
mendations for action by Congress. The Nor
mon rebellion is also to be dealt with.
The first business, probably that will come up
FOR action before Congress will be the bogus
Kansas constitution. From present appearances
this will be no easy matter TO dispose Of The
south will 60 in body for the approval of the
constitution, while Senator Douglas, with some
other northern Democrats, threatens to oppose
it to the bitter end. They have the rejection of
that constitution in their own hands, and the
people of the Free States will hold them respon-
sible.
But it is useless specializing upon probabili-
ties. The Democracy have the power in their
hands, and their constantly increasing demands
for slavery are such that there is no guessing
where they will stop, nor what will satisfy them.
1t isr umored that Col ORR of South Carolina
will be elected Speaker, probably on the first
