SOuND VIEWS

We take the following from the Washington ed
torial correspondence of the North West" Of Du-
buque, Iowa, urging the early admission Of Kansas
into the Union:
Cup to yesterday morning everybody driving upon
the Kansas question measurably in the dark Nothing
Of the Lawrence constitution had been made known saving
the meagre schedule which published in the North
West week or two since What the detailed provisions
of that instrument could tell Since its publ
cation in the Union of yesterday however, decidedly
better feeling among all classes of democrats has sprung
up and the universal sentiment is notwithstanding all
the harsh things that have been said about the members
of the Kansas constitutional convention generally and Of
the convention itself in particular, that this constitution
which to go before the people of Kansas ON the 2lst IN
slant u.s. whole the most perfect and really democrat
c constitution that has yet emanated from any
ton Such being the fact all that fear of disorder among
democrats the subject is being fast dissipatcd and
there very few who otherwise than think that peace
full issue will be the result of the submission of the Kan
constitution to Congress.
Upon the general question of the admission Of Kansas
under the constitution we have not changed our
views. The investigate the various points Of
the the convinced that her admission
under il will be in full accordance with the principles laid
down in the Cincinnati platform, the inaugural of Mr.
Buchanan and the well understood policy OF the demo
cratic party and for the heretofore expressed In
addition to the fact that the admission of Kansas
posed not only violates established principle Of the
democratic party but in the main is in accordance there
with firmly believe that sound policy demands that that
Territory be longer kept out of the Union Her ad.
mission depves opponents Of their only i'm
portunt element Of sectional excitement and at
either drives them TO measures or disbandment.
Either result cannot fail of proving advantageous to the
interests Of the country

sESArE--A resolution was adopted TO appoint tho
standing committees ON "Wednesday next, at one
o'clock. Mr.. Evans announced the death of his coll
league Judge Butler. in an appropriate manner, and
eulogies also delivered by Messrs. Mason, Pugh
Clay and Cameron; after which the customary reso-
buttons were adopted, and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPREsESrAryEs.-The Speaker announ-
ced the standing committees. The special commit
tee appointed to examine the new hall reported that
it was ready for occupation, and recommended that
possession be taken of it on Wednesday; which re-
port was concurred in. message was received from
the Senate announcing the death of Hon. A. r. Butler
late senator from South Carolina, and the passage
of resolutions of respect to his memory. Mr. Boyce
of South Carolina, offered resolutions of respect for
the deceased, and pronounced feeling and appro-
pirate eulogy. He followed by Messrs. Stephens
of Georgia. Harris of Illinois, and Goode of Virginia
The House then adjourned.

MR.. BUCHANAN ON HIS OLD PLATFORM.

In 1886 when applications were made by Arkansas
and Michigan for admission into the Union as States
the objection was made that no enabling acts Of
Congress- had been passed prior to these applications
Mr. Buchanan was in the Senate and took promi-
nent part in the debates. To show how consistently
true to his own record he has been in his late mes
sage on the Kansas question we quote passage
from his remarks in 1896, in answer to the objection
that Michigan ought not to be admitted because
Congress- had passed no enabling act He said
The first objection he should consider was the one
suggested rather than insisted on, by the senator from
Delaware, Mr. Clayton j and that was, that act had
been passed by Congress for the purpose Of enabling the
people Of Michigan TO form State constitution in obed
to what had been supposed to be the custom in
gard to other States that have been admitted into the
Union. Now, was there he would ask any reason for
passing such actf Was it required by principle,
was it required by former practice He utterly denied
that it required either by the the other before
State may be admitted into the Union and wheth
1t given previously subsequently to the appia
ton of State for admission into the Union was OF no
earthly importance He admitted that the passage Of
such act previously to the admission Of State
the best to adopt but if people had formed
republican constitution and ii Congress- should think
that they had assumed proper boundaries there any
objection to their admission whether the preliminary law
had been passed otherwise But In the history Of
this government they had prcccdcnts to sanction this
bill and they had which applied expressly to this
very IL being utterly impossible to draw any dstne
ton between the two unless in favor of Michigan He
referred to the of the State Of Tennessee found in
the second volume of the laws of the United States The
preamble was short containing but few lines and he
would read it. This brief preamble declaration
that by the acceptance of the deed of cession of the
State of North Carolina Congress bound to lay out
into States the territory thereby ceded to
the United States Congress- therefore, upon the pre-
sentaon of constitution by Tennessee declared that
State to be one of the United States OF America an
equal footing with the original States, in all respects
whatever by the and title of the State Of Tcnne

The surveys Of tho different routes for railroad 10
the Pacific have been completed and the results pub.
lished. All competent judges agree that the route
from III Paso TO the Colorado, besides being the
shortest Of all yet surveyed possesses very decided
advantages over others in several important partc.
ulars.
Two expeditions have been fitted out expressly to
explore tracts Of country hitherto wholly unknown.
Tho first was sent to the Northwest beyond the Wa
tiers of the Upper Missouri; the other 10 engaged in
exploring the Colorado Of the West = x
The various military roads in charge Of the War
Department are progressing satisfactorily On the
from Fort Defiance to the mouth Of the Mojave river
an experiment was made with thirty-hve cames to
test the efficiency Of these animals beasts Of burden
and transportation through the barren and difficult
country Of the great mountain range separating the
Mississippi valley from the Pacific ocean. The ex-
pertinent is likely to be entirely successful.
Several military reservations, having become use
less to the department, have been sold. The Mill
tary Asylum at Harrodsburg Kentucky, has been Of
fored for sale but the sum offered for il deemed
less than its value and the property was consequently
withdrawn.
The importance Of national foundry is strongly
urged; every consideration of sound policy and
economy demands its establishment.
The manufacture Of small arms at the two national
armories continues, and arms fabricated of the
most superior quality.
Upon the subject Of national defences the report
states that the works gradually but certainly ad-
vancing towards completion. The Notifications Of
New York will DO better the guns heavier and more
numerous than those of Sebastopol 9.i
The report explains at some length tho causes Of
the large expenditures in the Quartermaster Gene
rails Department, being attributable to the extent
and character of the country which the opera.
tons of the army have extended.

10 The Editor Of ne Union:
SIR In the New York Times of saturday, under the
head of Interesting from Washington, find the fol-
lowing paragraph;
at stated in confidential circles that the democratic
delegation from Indiana have had long interview with
the President in the of which they said that in
full consultation they could not support the Lecompton
constitution after the eof of Senator Douglas There
can be doubt that such a consultation was held
Permit to say that was present at the interview
alluded to- and no such declaration was made by the
democratic delegation from Indiana, any member of
It then present and all present except Mr. Davis
The visit was ola political character at all but mere
