csoi>1.s;
Modern Republ;canism has secured, through
various lnstrumentalitieS, the ascendency in elev-
en- States. lC has nowhere triumphed without
the aid Of Know Nothingism to which il has IL
sually added some other Of the isnis originally
intended for some useful wellneanng purpose.
In Maine, after combining with I'm w Nothiitg-
ism, it use the an ine law I'm il it d. S rogei
It's intended usefulness aud occaSioned its repeal!
In SIX other States, where similar laws have been
pa%se l. they have failed of useful results because
moulded AMI converted to political uses. Re-
publjcaniSin has not improved the morals or re-
Spsct for laws or religion in any one State but
the tendaucy resulting from its sway has been
the reverse. In New Hampshire, il has engen-
dered bitter strife aui hatred and destroyed
much Of the happiness which her citizens had
! formerly enjoyed. Massachusetts has become
diSorglni2ed, her treasury exhausted and debt
accumu atcd, and the people dstracted. Rhode
Island is a small field of unhappy strife and
deep-scated anlmosities, growing out of tile Re-
publican creed. Even in Connecticut Republican,
ism has laid the nest egg of debt to add to other
infections Of its mysterious access to power
Vermont, too, has suffered from malign influence

quiet limits, those who refuse to Join i'll the dis
union schemes OF Abolition, are pursued with
fury and a y1ng .dnce that would do credit to Ca-
manches.
Alter noticing, in terms Of commentator, the
action OF the democratic convention OF Kansas.
held at Lecompton on the 3d inst, the Memphis
(Fcnnessee) April says:
"Ehongh we may then, deeply regret that
slavery as permanent institution may prob
ably be adopted in KtnsaS, yet we can roloic9
that the lair application and recognition of the
principle which enEorceS the s0vrei ignty OF the
people of the incpient state secures to the South
an equal change in all the Territories hereafter
to be settled, and that our equality as CO. States
in the conederacy is fully acknowledged and en-
forced. The South will be made to see the
necessity ofactiyty and energy in the Settle
ment of Territories that she desires to become
aSsimjlated in domestic institutions herself
Tier SueseSs depends ultimately upon her own
enterprise in occupying waste lands which is open
to settlement from the men of every State, upon
fair and equal terms, and snbject to no restrc-
tlon', except such as the constitution of the Of
the United States Shall enforce, and as good
government Shall rcquire.''
In the course Of an able article on Kansas and
neT constitution the 0t IoWS hepuDllcan re-
marks.
'We are satsflod that however southern
journals and conventions in the South may dis
sent from the recommendation Of Gov. Walker to
submit the constitution to the vote Of the people,
the intelligent conservative boly Of citizens of
the South will ftyor AMI snstain it as right re-
garlIess of the question whether such subms-
sion will result in making Kansas free Or slave
State t
In conversation, within ten days witha Ken
tu2kian, u Shareholder AMI u pro-slavory man,
upon this subject he stated to Us frankly hsow
ISentimets, and said that kentucky would never
endure constitution for moment which the
peoplci in mass had notan opportunity to approve
or reject; ard, he added, shat which We woula
not tolerate ourselves the South should not at
tempt to practice unon Kansas''
