Mr.. Buchanan's Appeal to God.

Mr.. Buchanan's JUNCTION in behalf of
the laws Of Kansas, as displayed in his
letter to Professor Silliman and others.
reminds one Of the fervor with which Phil
lip II. swore to MAINTAIN the power ofthe
Inquisition. at Valladolid, in 1861
Seated in his chair. with his sword in his
hand, the King listened to the following
oath. which was recited by the Inquisitor
General, Valdez: Your Majesty swears
by the cross Of the sword, whereon your
royal hand reposes. that you viii give all
necessary favor to the Holy Office of the
Inquisilion against heretics, apostates,
and those who favor them, anil viii de-
nounce and inform against all those who.
to your knowledge, shall act, or speak
against the faith" The King. in a loud
voice answered, al swear?" Then they
burned thirteen persons alive, by way Of
ratIfying the oath.
Mr.. Buchanan. with equal fervor, asks
the aid Of God to enable him to enforce
the laws Of Kansas, which his own Secre-
tary of State declared, in the Senate last
year, to be infamous. and disgrace to
the country and the age. and which were
enacted by invaders of the territory, and
not BY its people. 1t is something very
much like injustice to Phillip II. and his
associates. to bring them in comparison
with the President and his advisers; for
the former were fanatics. who really be-
lieved they were doing the work Of heav.
en-, whereas our sovereign and his inquis-
itors have no faith in their own doctrines.
Then the world has made immense pro-
gress since the sixteenth century, and the
Kansas code would have reflected dishonOr
on that time. and on the inqnisition itself
We believe that onrs is the only country
in which such a code could he blasphem-
ously upheld by the chief Of the nation.
Even King Bomba would be ashamed to
call on God to help him to do the infam-
Gus work that he finds necessary to the
maintenance Of his authority. But he is
a decent tyraDt bad as he is. and at least
affects regard for religion.-BOstOn

"MoLLY M1GUIRZs. such IS the
name Of q new secret political organiza-
ton recently started in the East, and is
rapidly extending to all the larger cities
in the Union. It is composed wholly of
Irish, belonging to the Democratic party.
They are not satisfied that this party is
in power, through their votes |; but they
want to rule the party--and they do it,
wherever they can raise a sufficient num-
Der of their clan. Wherever a city con-
tains any considerable number Of Irish,
they go into the Democratic Conventions,
determined to "rule or ruin." and the
party have to obey their dictation. or be
doomed to defeat. They have the upper
hand in New York, Philadelphia, and
Buffalo. The murmurs are becoming
loud and deep in the party, and all the
members who have any self-respect, evince
a disposition to put stop to the business.
But they are being served right. When
an effort was made to put down foreign
rule, the Democrats opposed it to the
"bitter end" and strove to give the for
eigners a more consequential position than
ever. Now they are beginning to partake
of the bitter fruits Of their folly. 1t Is
useless to talk about the American party
being dead. The country is not yet sufi-
GENTLY awake to the necessity of such q
party. but is in good way for it now.
This Molly Mcguire movement will help
the matter on; the American spirit will
arise with double the strength it ever pos
sessed in its palmiest days. and secure all
the ends at which it has been aiming and
we also believe that its main strength
will come from the Democratic ranks. as
it has heretofore come from the Wings

CLAINs.-Inquiry having been made at the
General Land Office as to necessity of a
wife Of presumption claimant to live on
the lands pre-empted. it has been decided
that person claiming the benefit Of the
presumption act of 1841 is required to es-
tablish, by competent proof before the
district Office, the performance of certain
acts prior to making an entry.
A man being the head of a family,
must show residence with his family on
the land claimed. There might he snf-
fcient cause precluding the possibility OF
the wife's residence on her husband s
claim; but the sufieiency Of the cause can
only be determined when the facts Of the
case are presented in the form Of proof,
upon which the law requires the register
and receiver to adjudicate such claim.
The Department cannot in advance de-
termined questions Of right upon mere
speculative inquiries. but will exercise its
supervisory power in declaring the right
of claimant. in whose case the question
may arise, when the facts are previously
