The EHeood (Doniphan County, Kan

Gle on the recent election, says
"The vote of the Democratic party,
aside from all other issues, is the strong
est in the Territory; and, in this cleo
ton the candidates and organs of the
party tried hard to ignore the issue of
free or slave State. with the hope of get
ting the whole vote, but without sue
cess. Should they pursue a fair policy,
respecting the manifest wish of the
mass of the people, making no effort to
thrust slavery upon the Territory, they
may confidently rely upon. Kansas en-
tering the Union as a royal and Demo
cratic State; buff partisans, listening
to Southern fire-caters, risk everything
in the insane attempt to make Kansas a
slave State, they will live to sec their
party dwindle into afsmall minority.

which does not delegate to posterity the
duty of approaching and rewarding its
master minds. They carry with them
the applause and gratitude of millions.
So it has been with. this extraordinary

the voice of approval which is to vibrate
through the future. He has been the
architect of his own fame, as wen as 'fu.

The Constitutional Amendments
Their Defeat.

We published yesterday returns from
eight counties on the "single district
to the constitution, which
showed a constitutional maj ority Of near
10000 against the measure. Since then
we haye>received further returns, which
indicate that tits not only defeated, but
overwhelmingly defeatd. In Licking
County. out of 6,35S votes which were
east, the bank charter receivedLbut-60,
and the constitutional amendments but
142. Over 5000 majority in that coun-
ty against the whole batch. In Rich
land, out Of 5,316 votes cast, the bank
charter received but 1851, and "single
districts" but 1929. In Fairfield Coun-
ty, out of $4,000 votes, the bank char
ter and the amendments got less than
1000. aon ~
The probability now is that all the
amendments are defeated, eve that for
annual session, of the Legislature, which
we were in hopes would carry, having
always been opposed to the bienuial sys-
tenn. Had that been submitted alone
to the people; we doubt not it -would
have been adopted by a large majority.
But submitted by the Chase administra-
" III III oIlO HONO1 "
ly partisan and Objectionable it is de-
feated, solely because it was found in bad
company, and the voters would not dis
criminate. The defeat of these amend
,ancnts is a severe blow to Governor
Chase and his administration, They
were recommended in his lbessage,
adopted by a Black-Republiean Legis-
lature, and supported by the active men
of that party at the polls. or
Upon the adoption of the "single dis
trict" scheme, to lessen the influence Of
Hamilton County in the Legislature and
divide her representation, Chase based
his hopes of being sem to the Senate in
1859, as the successor of Hon. George
E. Fugh, and was particularly and per
%sonally anxious for its adoption. He
recommended it to the Legislature in
bothofhfs messages. Its overwhelming
defeat, under such circumstances, is by
no means the least gratifying result of
the State election, which restored to the
Democracy their supremacy in, both
branches of the Legislature. We have
heard much in the opposition journals
of the new Constitution of Ohio, and'of
the necessity gifts amendment; but thus
far, no amendment submittedeto them
has received a majority of the fpopular
suffrage. The people, it would seem,
from these abortivo attempts, are either
disposed to give that instrument a Ion
ger trial, or else they desire to intrust
its amendments to the party which origi-
nally created it-the Democracy.-Cfn.

rs A writer in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser suggests as the only
means Of relief in the present crisis of
the monetary affairs of the country, is
for the New York city banks to receive
and pay out the notes of the country
banks, which he says are certainly safer
than commercial paper. This would at
oncc put the domestic exchanges in or
der, and set the wheel of trade in mo
ton, by furnishing something that
would pass from one hand to another,
and prevent boarding.
