The Reason for it.

"Mr. Buchanan was nevertheless elected,
and scarcely more than seven months have
passed since he became President, and
what has been the event regarding Kansas
Has slavery gone there, or is there the re-
motest probability that it will go ther ?
Has Mr.. Buchanan sought to introduce it
there? Free Press.
Why should slavery go to Kansas wheu
Mr.. Buchanan says 1t IS already there. In
reply to the Connecticut memoralists he
used the following language: "Slavory
existed at that period-when the Kansas
and Nebraska bill was passed. AND STILL
EXISTS IN KANSAS UNDER THE CoNsTITU-
TToN OF THE UNITED STATES. The point
has at length been decided by the high
est tribunal know to our laws. How IL
coma ever hare heen seriously kouJtsd is
amysteyy."
That is why Mr.. Buchanan has not
sought to introduce slavery into Kansas.
1t will scarcely do for the Free Press to
enter a jubilation over the fact that he has
not done SO, when he was convinced that
it was so purely unnccerary. Our contem-
porary has evidently forgotten Mr.. Buchan-
ans letter. 1t should brush up its politi-
knowledge.

The RevuIsiOn.

The present revulsion did not begin with
the agricultural or producing interests, and
although the revulsion is now beginning to
reach those interests, they are still sound
and strong.
Tho present difficulties have originated
in errors in banking, in railroad mismanage-
ment, aggravated in their effect by un-
toward accidents, and especially by panic.
There have been over-importations, but
those over-impoitations have not been con-
sumed by the country, but are now piled
up in public warehouses. The losses upon
them will be enormous, and must be liqui-
dated, in good part by bankruptcy.
Those losses will fall almost wholly upon
the importers, who are to considerable
extent the agents, or branches, of foreign
houses There has been no over consump-
tion Of foreign goods by the country, nor is
there any unusual indebtedness from the
country Of the merchants. There has been
no general extravaganza, but on the con-
trary, in large sections of the Union, and
among large classes everywhere, the past
year has been one of marked economy in
expenditure. The case is not that the
country finds itself in debt for foreign and
domestic manufactures which have been
used up, and are now to be paid for, but
that the merchants and manufactures find
themselves loaded with stock which they
cannot dispose of. The present predca-
ment IS unlike that of'37, in almost every
conceivable particular.
1t is loosely said that it will take all our
cotton, tobacco, wheat, and gold, to pay
our debts abroad. The truth is, the men
who have raised the cotton, tobacco, and
wheat, now own those articles, owe no
debts abroad, and are much less indebted
than usual, to those who do owe debts a
broad. The agricultural interests have
been soundet, more out of debt, and moro
Independent, during the present genera
tion. This is so everywhere, not except
ing the West, which in many quarters is
attempted to be made the scapegoat of all
the sins of the nation.
If these views of the subject arc correct,
existing difficulties, however deplorable in
their effect, will be short-lived. The great
basis of prosperity are unshaken, and what
ever is disturbed in the machinery of ex-
changes, will be restored to regularity.
We need more. gold, but we have the
means of commanding it from Europe, be- /
sides retaining the large current product of
our own Mines Washington Republic.

EDIToRs' AND PUDLIsHERs' CoNvEN.
rIoN.-We publish this week tho pro-
ceedings of a Convention of the Conduc-
tors of the Press of Michigan, which was
held at Jackson last week, pursuant to the
generally expressed desire of tho "Craft."
Our readers will see that much of the action
taken at the meeting points to the cash
system.
Hero we wish the attention of those who
patronize us, or who may have occasion to
hereafter. We will state facts which will
show this action absolutely necessary, as
measure of safety by the conductors Of the
country press especially, lst. Our business,
generally, amounts to byt bare living,
even when all our earnings arc promptly
realized. Cd. Every article which enters
into the printing and publishing business
costs cash down--we pay cash for typo,
setting, cash for type, cash for ink, cash
for paper, cash for wood and lights-and
for most Of these cash IN advance-all of
them cash in advance of tho completion of
the jobs we have to do. 1t will be s0en at
a glance that the printer cannot live and
thrive without receiving cash or its equiv
alent for all the work he turns out.
We do not wish to multiply words: but
content ourselves with these statements.
1t is our earnest wish that all who may
take such action as they will see is proper
for them. and highly essential for us. The
stubborn fact is, we want every dollar that
is duo us, we want it now and every day
we are without it, we do business at sac
rifice that should not be required.

DEcEAsK UNpER FpsIoN.-In Maine,
tho Democratic candidate for Governor last
fall received 1850 votes, aad tho Whig-
American candidate received $3.50, max
ing a total Of 5l,54s. This year there
was fusion Of tho Democrats and Amer
leans, and their total vote is now only
42,3Oo, showing decrease of 9,24s. A
similar fusion Is attempted in this State,
and q similar result will follow.
BY no arti6ce whatever, can The Bnch-
apiers give to Mcsss. Tucker, Church, d
Co.,. rs many. votes as Judge Parker had
for governor last fall, and he was beaten
$4,000 majority. Every intelligent pol

Of the Republicans will ovcrwclm tho Dem.

Walkers ExultatiOn.

The mask very naturally dropped from
the face of Gov. Walker he landed at
Wyandott after comming from Kickapoo
where the troops VOTED on his advsce.
His first solution upon meeting free state
man was, ave haze beat you" This car
less remark is complete expose of the
position Of Walker. Protesting to be neu-
iral he is the first to cxult over a supposed
pro-slavery triumph, and claim it as his
own. But after all the great Isothermal
was probably too hasty- He had not
heard from the remainder of the territory.
hs is not improbable that when he does
lear he will be part and parcel Of q plot to
defeat the express will Of the people.

We predict the panic will not result in the
failure of sensible couple 10 meet their
engagements. There may, be and arc sus-
pensions, and extensions of little notes,
but the firm will go on--the marriage will
come off in the Spring, if not in the win
ter, and by that time all parties will be
likely to start with more temperate notions
of "the appearances" they are to keep up;
and truer American idea of what do
mestic establishment should be. A new
and most welcome era has been Inaugural
ted with Hard Times. We shall hear less
from young men about their ability or in
ability to Support a wife," and women
who cannot help to support the family,
rather than be rcckoned part of its dead
weight, will blush to own it, unless armed
with the physicians certificate of dilapida-
ted health.

Voting Of the troops.

Gov. Walker takes tho ground that the
troops had right to vote at Kansas elect
ions because they had been in the Terri
tory six months. He shields himself we
suppose, under the territorial election law.
But the Government at Washington have
always entertained different views on this
subject; and, in the act organizing the ter
ritory Of Kansas, is the following explicit
provision -
"And provided further, That no officer soldier
seamen, marine, or other person in the army navy
cfhs United States, shall be aioreo 10 cote hold
Office In said territory, by Of being on service
therein"
One would think this was pretty strong
intimation Of what the Government had
regarded as proper in this case; and we do
not, therefore, wonder at the rumors of re-
monstrance from army officers. We think
Walkers race in Kansas is pretty much
run.-TToledo Blade.

A VERY SMALL SLIP.-E. r. CLARK
who is among those buried in the ruins OF
Barnum's store at Chicago, had an insur-
ance on his life of $4,000 which expired on
Thursday Of last week. The agent meet
ing him in the street reminded him that
such was the case, and advised him to re.
new at once. The matter was postponed
to Saturday. On Saturday Mr.. Clark
was again reminded that he had better al
low no delay. III oal be my own insurer
until Monday" He was so, alas. Mr..
Clark's remains were taken from beneath
the rubbish about 4 o'clock on Monday af-
ternoon. On one of the fingers CLEANED
uninjured the little circlct Of a wedding
ring, bearing the name of his wife and the
date Of their marriage in '54. BY this
and his slcive buttons he was identified by
his late partner, Mr.. Metz.
