OF the Democratic party than the hands-off
doctrine. 1t is the life and soul of Southern
Rights, and is therefore naturally enough op-
posed at this time by those of the South, who
whenever principle vitality affecting her in
terests has been at stake, have always been
found against that principle. They pretend
that they would have an effort made TO admit
Kansas on a constitution concerning which the
enemies the South may plausibly allege that
it was struggled through her convention, and
then hunnifuggled through Congress; while
they must De aware that all know, that if the
constitution on which she is admitted be not in
accordance with the sentiment of majority of
those who will be citizens of the new State, it
will surely be altered in a twelvemonth after
her admission into the Union They must
know, therefore, that they are contending for
shadow, in order to weaken the supremacy of
the great principle on which the future of the
South in the Union hinges-the principle that
the people of every State or Territory have the
right to manage and shape their domestic af-
fairs in their own way and to their own liking
Our friends throughout the South should keep
prominently before the public the fact that we
cannot possibly secure or gain anything what
ever by the admission of Kansas into the Union
with constitution that, not having been SUBJ
mitted previously to her people, will surely be
as3ailed from the moment of her admission, and
eventually be overthrOwn-amended-i not
formed in accordance with popular sentiment
And that by any such action the cause of the
South's future will be irreparably injured; in
somuch as, if sustained by the South, it will
amount to palpable abandonment on her part
of the principle that she, and she alone has the
right TO control the future of her own domestic
institutions.
The abandonment Of this great and import
ant principle on her part at such a time as the
present, would be, in effect, making stand
point from which the lever of Abolitionism may
be worked to even greater advantage against
her in time to come, than heretofore

examinations Of these institutions reflect gyest
credit on all concerned in them and show that
they bid fair to do much for the future of orr
community. The system has improved as fast
and az satisfactorily in the Federal Metropolis
OF late years, as in any other city of the United
states. As now conducted, our public schools
afford as many primary advantages of educa-
ton as are TO be found in any Others in the

coming to be, as they should, the pride of Wash
ingtOns population, and TO enlist in behalf of
their improvement, the minds Of all endowed
with commendablc public spirit A public
high school for the education of those scholars
who most distinguish themselves in the primary
schools, is greatly needed. Washington is able
to sustain one for both sexes, as handsomely rs
any other city of its population in the world,
and it is just rcproach that we have remained
without one up to this time We should like
nothing better than TO see its prom,,t establish
