s6- The Senate has adopted resolutions
limiting to the. Hon. John Bell that the
locofocos of Tennessee no longer require
his services in the U. s. Senate. He has
probably been aware of this fact for manv
years, and, we hope, will treat the hint
with the contempt it deserves. John Bell
is the representative of the intelligence
and integrity of the State, and surely has
too much patriotism to abandon his post at
bidding ofthe molly mass, known as Ten
ne.see democracy. We dislike to speak
harshly of what is termed the majority, but
feeling sovereign contempt for the mass
of locofocoism, we can't help it. Who are
they that instruct John Bell to resign?
Men who cannot, for their lives, define his
position on any given subject; who don't
know to which branch of Congress he be-
longs, and can't distinguish between Ne
braska bill and Bill Patterscn n, nor which
of them John Bell struck.

The Richmond Enquirer, leading organ
of the Buchanier and Pro Slavery Democ-
racy, in its issue Of the 18th of january,
contains ga LAST APPEAL" to the slavehold
ers of the South, to bestir themselves for
another AMI decisive attempt to make Kan
sas Slave State. We quote some of its
glowing periods:
Here is chance for the South to regain
its equality in the government-to estab-
lish itself securely in the Senate; here is an
opportunity to arrest the march of aboli-
tionisnl, and to defeat the policy that would
restrict the extension of slavery, and accom-
plish its ruin by the slow but sure process
of suffocation. Here, in truth, is an invi-
ting prospect Of progressive development
for our institutions and perpetual power for
our people; and what are we doing for the
realization ofthis splendid fortune? Moth
ing, absolutely nothing.
The condition of affairs in Kansas reminds
us how easily we might have won the vic
tory. The emissaries of Abolitionism are
dissatisfied: their organization IL broken up;
Robinson, their leader, has retired from the
struggle in disgust; they have no unity of
aim or concert of action; and all this too
despite the extraordinary aid in men, mon
ev and material, which they have received
from the Legislatures of the Anti-Slavery
States. On the other hand, the friends of
the South have held their own under all
the disadvantages with which our neglect
has burdened them, and they are to day the
ascendant power in Kansas. If we had on
ly supported them in their gallant struggle,
how easy and decisive would have been
their success?
But, we do not yet despair Of Kansas
We are of that hopeful class who never
concede the miscarriage of their cause, I'M
I'll they are beaten, and no mistake. 1t is
not our policy to dishearten our friends and
embolden our enemies, by a too precipiate
foreboding of defeat. When we have strong
faith in principle, we are apt to be conf
dent of its ultimate triumph. And, so, we
are not yet willing to surrender Kansas to
the Abolitionists. We are for making an
other effort, and vigorous effort, too, to
repair the losses we have suffered by our
insane negligence. 1t is not too late to re-
deem Kansas, is the people of the South
will only be equal to the urgency of the oc-
casion. We have friends in the field, and
all that is necessary is to give them ade-
quate support.
But, five are going to rescue Kansas no
time is to be lost. II we hesitate many mo-
ments, we will be beaten beyond the hope
ofrecovcring our position. Shall not some
thing be done for Kansas, and done with
out delay? What that something" should
be, and how that something" must be ac-
compIished, we leave others to determine.
We discharge our duty in announcing the
necessity for Instant effort. and apPeaIingt to
the friends of the South to REDEEM Kansas
from the grasp of Abolitionism.

expense of our own, also hold it to be the
primal duty of our legislation so to adj
just the burdens of taxation especially on
articles IN the shape Of food. that they shall
fall as lightly as possible on those of slen-
der means. And / sincerely believe, that
whatever, may be the result of the PROPOSE,
ton at this session, if other interests should
combine to strike down this movement, J
our whole people will wonder, ten years
hence, how this duty could have been con-

if an American Congress were to reimpose

Since the introduction of the proposition

branches of that Legislature are at wide
variance politically on nearly all the ques-
tions of the day, this is one of the few
things they have mutually agreed upon;
and on call of the yeas and nays In both

EN- The Legislature Of Tennessee at its
last session passed an act authorizing the
Governor of that State to purchase five
hundred acres of the Hermitage, including
the mansion of Gen. jackson and the tomb
where now repose the remains OF the Illus
trious hero and patriot and those of his be-
loved wife, and to make tender of the
same to the general government, provided
branch of the military academy should
be established sCthat place. In pursuance
of this act Governor johnson purchased
the Hermitage for the sum of forty eight
thousand dGilars, and on Wednesday ar
rived in Washington and made a formal
tender of the property, with the condition
annexed, to the President. The President,
in reply, stated that this offer by the State
of Tenn. would be promptly communica-
ted by him to Congress.

EE The gold produce of California in
1856, was estimated at S5S, Ill 900.
The precise export of treasure from the
port of San Francisco, including the ship
ments manifested for the Atlantic States,
shows an increase of 81, 514 1903 over the
year 1855, exclusive of about one million
of Mexican coin SHIPPED to China. Making
all proper allowances for the amount of
gold carried off by passengers for the Allan
tic States, the production of the mines in
1856 would seem to be $62, $50, 900, in
addition to which the value of 1888, 1S5
was exported IN quicksilver. ~
