Nothing has 90 nonplussed the radical Re-
publican Press Of late ~ DoUoLAs' proposed
remedy Of the Utah troubles, and BuuIA-
Mans peace policy and final settlement of
the Kansas difficulty. They stood aghast
at DouaLAs' boldness in proposing to treat
the worshippers Of BR,cHAM You've as out
laws and to take away their Territorial
rights by a repeal Of the organic act until
they should swear or at least show some al
legiance to the Constitution and Laws Of
this country. That proposition not only cut
short but cut off debate on that question
and now when the President and his Cabi-
net supported by the entire Northern and
al the conservative portion Of the Southern
Democratic press, unite in policy which
secures permanent peace in Kansas, these
ranting Republicans find the only two
planks left in their philadelphia platform,
gone, and are left hopeless wreck of a po-
litical party.
The New York Tunes sees this and is salts
fed that the end Of Black Repubhcanism has
come. The latter has got to change its name
and its principles. 1t has got to hide its
head under the wing Of Know Nothingism
or IKE the expiring swan give one screech
and die
Here 10 an article from the Times which
gives clue to the views Of the more moder
ate Of Fusion FRExosr Journals. 1t is writ
ten with remarkable frankness, fairness and
ability. Read it, Republicans, Black or
Red, or whatever color or cue You may be.

sen to the prosecution Of the policy marked
out for him, by the Southern chiefains who
had controlled the Administration Of Presi-
dent Pierce; and that he could not be ex-
pected, therefore, TO achieve the pacifica-
lion of Kansas, distracted by the intrigues,
and maddened by the outrages Of the South
ern propogandists of Slavery.
The partisular personal friends Of Mr..
Buchansa maintained, on the contrary, that
the intentions Of The statesman were, to re-
