nistrstion
In the belligereut manifesto of our Tl15un.
peacenakers, there is distinct fcreshadowing
of another border war in Kansas. This
We hope, however, will be avoided, through
the eagacious counsels Of the administration
There is no necessity Or putting State govern
ment into operation in Kansas until her admis-
sion into the Union shall have been determined
by Congress Nor need there be any appeal to
arms about the Lecompton constitution or the
Topeka constitution, whether they are or are not
referred to vote of the people, before they are
carried up to Congress. The proceedings in re-
ference to the Iecompton constitution have been
er rmts, and in regard to the Topeka document
exceedingly loose and irregular. The best course,
perhaps, in regard to both parties in Kansas,
would be to have the Lecompton Convention
adopt their constitution and send it up to Con-
gress without further ceremony; to let the free
State party send up their Topeka charter al the
same time, and ,heR to prevail upon Congress to
send both constitutions back TO Kansas, together
with an enabling act las in the case of Minneso-
tai to the people Of the Territory, in behalf of
systematic and regular course of proceedings
in the adoption OF State constitution and gov
eminent.
Through this policy no ground Of complaint
will he left 10 either party, and no cause for
sectional hullabaloo North or South, inarmuch
as the population of Kansas will still fall short of
the requirement of the federal ratio for member
OF the House of Representative hisrequirement,
too is the doctrine Of the Presidents inaugural,
which necessarily comprehends deliberate and
complete reconsideration by the people Of Kan
sas and by Congress of the crude and irregular
proceedings on both sdes Of the question, from
the FIST Territorial election to the last.
With reference to the reconstruction of parties
for 1850, upon this Kansas imbroglio, time will
show whether Mr.. SewaId's organ at Buffalo or
the NV YORK Herald is the false prophet.
We say that there exists Northern sectional
anti slavery party, OF which Mr.. Seward is the
Southern ultra sectionalpro slavery party is in pro-
cess Of formation; and that between these sectional
extremes the solid conservative body of the bust
Dess people, North and South, will be rallied to-
gether into new Union party, upon the basis of
the conservative policy of Mr.. Buchanan. The
Buffalo E1press affects higher degree OF wisdom
than this, and assures us that there will be but
two parties in the field in lS60--the slavery and
Popery democracy and the republicans that
the latter will absorb the principles and loose
materials OF the late Know Nothing party
everywhere, as they have done in Massachusetts,
Very well. The issue of these conflicting
theories for 1860 depends upon the settlement Of
the Kansas question. 1t is delicate affair. Its
peaceable solution will require the incest hand
ling, but we think that Mr.. Buchanan has thus
far proved himself equal to the task. We
also think that in its final settlement he will yet
diseppoint our sectional agitators Of discord and
dssension, North and South, and thus establish
the platform for triumphant conservative party
in 1860. against both Northern and Southern
utras If the question for the succession Of q
separate sectional party South is not determined
10y this next Congress, we shall give il up. But
from all the signs Of the times, We shall have at
least three parties in the race Of 1850, and the
victorious party in the shape Of a new Union
party, representing the conservative and con-
ciliating policy Of just and honest national adj
ministration-
