TRAITS IN PHnosoPHY.-The placid and civil
lied philosophers of the Tribune call our Kansas
correspondent q border ruflan. This epithet h
hardly civilized one; indeed, IL might be co.,
sidered an exhibition Of BLACKBOARD philosophy
and passion. The fact Is, that our Kansas CORES
pondent Is aquiet and inoffensive literary mani
and it argues anything but gentlemanly state
Of civilization In these philosophers to use ssOa
epithets with regard to such person and yet
claim an equal position with the most renowned
models Of courtesy and gentlemanly conduct, In

THn TRIBUNE ON Law AND ORDnR.-Our a..
temporary. the Tribune, must really DO more dis
gusted with the proceedings of the late Legisls-
ture than any one else; for they have actually
placed 1t in the ridiculously false position of an
advocate of law and order. We are aware that
those Of our readers who do not sec the Tribune
will regard this az flight of fancy on our parts
we can only refer them to the paper itself In
support of our assertion. Strange as 1t seems,
after consistent career of opposition to all lav
during several years, the Tribune has become a.
apprentice to good citizenship since the Legida-
ture undertook to establish a centralized dsspst-
ism In this State.
Among other acts which the 2ribsaae applauds
Is tho act for the removal Of tho Quarantine, and
the measures taken by the Commissioners in ooa-
sequence Of that act 1t published . manifesto
from the Commissioners yesterday, in which they
confess that they couldn't buy any property at
Seguine's Point for fever depot, but that they
tricked man into selling them their present To-
cation under pretence that 1t was wanted for a
country seat Now, we ask, if It Is decent that
representatives Of the State should be allowed to
practice tricks for which horse Jockey or q
Peter Funk would be punished by the Mayors
The Commissioners also endeavor to justify
their barbarous conduct by calling the oys-
termen names. This is polite. If these men
are to be killed off and exterminated by yellow
fever deliberately planted among them, their
characters had best be blackened as soon as pos
sible. We commend the Commissioners for their
abuse of the oystermen; it is the most judiciou
thing they have done Pray let them keep 1t up.
1t is also commendAble that the Commissioners
consent to "the oystermen going on with their
business heretofore, if they conduct themselves
we'll" This gracious clemency will no doubt DO
appreciated though it Is rather reversing the
usual order Of thingsto spare mans purse after
refusing to spare his life. For small favors, how
ever, it is meet to be thankful; and we have no
doubt the fishermen of Princes Bay will be CRATE
full, in their way, for Dr.. ThOmson's promise that
"he will not modest them except In unusual Sea-
eons"

spectablity and purse Of the noa-resistan. Vigil
hots
This statement win be news, we make no
doubt 70 those who have always considered the
Vigilance leaders as the boldest ''frebrandsr in
the party.
Since May, 1854, however, the League has ma
tured its organization in its present FORM aud
spresd itself through every town and village in
the State Of Massachusetts. Colored men are ex-
cludea from Its ranks, and the total number of
members is known only to the five who form the
Executive Directory. But its strength may be
Judged from the fact that its leaders now defy the
general government to capture slave ia the
Bay State outside the range of the cannon of the
Navy Yard and federal forts in Boston. They
have arms ammunition and ships-two schooners
certainly-for the transport Of fugitives to Cana
da; and they allege that several depots Of State
arms are within their grasp at any moment they
may choose to seize them. They have also pre-
pared more than one hiding place and aum1ni-
ticn store amongst the hills and islands of Massa
chusetts. Their motto, as we eaid before, Is
Everything for the Cause;" and their motive
seems less one of sympathy to the flying bond
man than desire to preserve the "sacred soil Of
the Pu,itans" from being converted into "a
human hunting ground"
For the present we content ourselves with
stating these facts without any comment or appli-
cation; bat every reader must behold, even in
their naked statement, the inevitable reaction
which the course of the extreme Southern seces-
aonists has provoked.

The New York Times, as is we'll known,
has supported the administration of Gov.
Walker in Kansas. The N. Y. Commercial
Adcertiser, and the Buffalo Commercial i'd
ssrsiser, Fillmore papers, have inclined the
Same way. The occasion, or excuse, Of the
Times, was that Walker, in his address to
the people Of Kansas, pledged himself to
them 10 secure to all the bona .6de residents
of Kansas the privilege of voting at the fall
elections. The Times thought this was fair,
and that Walker meant to fairly carry out
the promise. But Walker now says that he
is 10 favor Of ssthree or SIX months resi-
dencs"as spreliminary qualification, -.mean-
ing six months, and using the word "three"
1.-THE Times shinks) to qualify and soften the
transition from bona tde residence to sir
months residence. Six months residence is
different thing from bona tide residence
In making this change, the Times says (what
is true) that Walker has publicly violated
his pledge to the people Of Kansas, and for
feited his claim upon the respect and support
or that paper, AID oil honest Free State men.
Thetwo prominent organs of Fillmoreism,
mentioned above, frankly confess that they
are compelled to look at the matter in the
same light. And is it not trues And is it
not plain that in oil this matter Walker is
plotting to establish Slavery 10 Kansas BY
force and fraud, in opposition to the will Of
the bona fide residents of Kansas and that
the Administration 10 aiding and abetting in
the plot2 And does not all this justify the
ground assumed, and the earnest, per sstent
policy pursued, by the Republican party,
with respect to Kansas? And will not hon
est Free State men, Of all parties, sustain
and assist the Republican party in the pur-
suance Of this policy? What other course
is left to them, if they desire their opinions
to be felt in the settlement Of this impor.an.
