The Herald of yesterday lets the cat completely
out of the bag We have all along seen the whis-
kers and claws slightly projecting from the crevces,
and have thought at times that we caught glimpse
Of the elaring eyes within; but now we have the
eutire animal leaping boldly forth, whskers claws,
eyes head body tail aud all. 1.-The real question:
says The Herald in reference to our approaching
State eleetien, sis not whether Kansas is to come
into the Union Slave State or a Free State.
Nth that the people Of this State haze no concern
"photertT and in fact they take rery little interest
sin the matter" Here The Herald stands at last

a bogus Successor to that bogus BODY; of the
appointment to the best local Offices of active

On the part Of The Herald mere statements of

intelligence however destitute it may be of senti
ment and feeling. 1t perceives clearly what is 60
ing on il Kansas, but regards it all as matter in
which "the people Of this State have no concern
whatever" and in which, in fact, they take very
little int rest." If the people of Kansas, under
existing circumstances and under the rule Of

The ~ T. Times differs radically with THE
TRIBUNE as to the means of dispelng panic and
restoring confidence. 1t is as if We were fellow.
passengers in eaky, sinking ship, when THE
TRIBUNE should propose that all hands should di.
vide their attention between and devote their utmost
energies to working the pumps and plugging the
leak, which The Times should meet with the cOun-
ter proposition that all hands be mustered on deck
and instructed to give three rOusing cheers. We
do not object to the cheers we only insist that
they be not accepted a substitute for the
plugging and pumping. For months past, we have
been doing our utmost to avert the storm which
has now Oyertsken our fnancers. These columns
have uttered caution after caution, remembrance
after remembrance against excessive importation,
the extension of Bank loans, the expansion of indi
vidual credits, and the general extravaganza of ex
ptndtuIe and living. The contraction that might
once lave been accomplished gracefully, and with
little or no loss will now involve severer ordeals,
but it must nevertheless be effected. There is just
one way out Of such perils as now surround us-and
that requires US individually and Nationally to live
within our means and regularly diminish Instead Of
increase our debts If The Times viii join in urg-
ing this obvious ard imperative truth it will aid in
restoring prosperity and security; if not, it will
take (or keep its place among those who prophey

The New-England merchants, as well as our
OWN, are carrying out the sugar and molasses spec
ulation with great pertinacity. Newburyport
correspondent of The Boston Trareler states that
millions Ct dollars worth of these articles held on
foreign account are stored in that town. Three
acres of South Boston Wharf are completely cev-
cred with moIssses hOgsheads, the leakage from
which, it il stated, amounts to forty thousand a.
Ions day. This is worse than the policy Of tho
Dutch who burn half their spices to enhance tho
value of the rest In that case, for all purposes Of
nourishment or health the half, We dare Say, Is
as good as the whole, perhaps better, but in this
case there is an awful waste of sweetening. How
ever, there is even here one consolation. Per
haps the molasses thus wasted is saved from being
distilled into rum.

Tbcse who have particularly at heart the cause
of pure and unadulterated pulpit preaching, find
much TO encourage them, notwithstanding they
occasionally encounter news of whiting nature. Ii
is something certainly, to have Satanic sheets with
them, to say nothing of the godly but feeble e1er-
Citations of the journal emitted at the corner of
Wall and Nassau streets. Moreover, it must be
consolipg especially if these pure people are look
ing out for csrnal and secular offices, for them to
know that the President Of the United States Is
upon their side 1t is notorious theological fact
that all Presidents are ez o6ieio religious No
matter how loose and careless may have been their
lives before entering the mOnastic White House, it
is established that there is an atmosphere at that
end of the Avenue, productive not merely of agues
and dysenteries, but of practical piety. And let
us add that this piety is Of very powerful
sntiseptic and deodOrzing SORT and that a
President generally concentrates in his own
person-whether that person be short or long,
adipose or emaciatsd-rengion enough to serve
and to save any twenty common men. The
Chief Executive has thus large sinful margn-if
We may use the profane language Of unhappy Wall
street-and may, with IMMUNITY, indulge in ofenses
against morality always provided those oenses are
for the benefit of the party which would "do tor
any ordinary mortal both in this world and the next.
Thus il is well known that Franklin Pierce, while
leaving the inhabitants Of Territory to rapine,
slaughter and arson (haying sworn to protect them
against all these), was sinsusry devout, and went
to church once week, snd was so proud OF his re-
Feious character that those who were willing to
indore il came in for the cake, and ale Of Presi-
dt Ltial patronage. Ard just 30 soon as Dir. Bu-
