KANSAS CORRESPONDENCE OF THE SOUTH

The Richmond South's Kansas correspondent
does not despair of winning permanent Pro-
Slavery victory in Kansas. He says:
eve have strong hopes of electing the Leg
islature this fall, and also our delegate to Con-
gress. And here let me say, that the statement
so industriously copied in all the papers, that
the Convention to nominate a-rp p5'aa+ee, for
mat they voted in favor of referring the Const-
tuition, is false. They tabled resolution not
to refer it, On the ground that that body had no
right to control the matter, and that men might
be good Democrats, and be for or against re-.
ferring it. The party locked forward to q
bright and hopeful future under the Admins
Iration of Mr.. Buchanan; relying On the cor.
dial and united support that the South had
given him-that our enemies we're his enemies,
that our friends were the Democratic party it,
SELF"
This correspondent expects Pro-Slayery
triumph in the autumn election, conducted as
it will be under the auspices of the bogus Ter.
ritorial Legislature, and he denies that the
Constitutional Convention will refer the Const-
tuition to the people, but assents that they will
present it to Congress for its acceptance. He
closes with the following appeal to that body:
admit us, and we have no fear but that it
will, for all time to come, remain a slave State.
Missouri will be strengthened Utah and New
Mexico, and perhaps Oregon, will apply for ad.
mission and be slave States Northern Texas
will be safe; the equilibrium of the North and
South restored.
"Assuredly, should the Democratic party who
in this Territory are almost to a man Pro-Sla-
very) carry the October elections, there can
be no reasonable objection to our admission,
North or South. In any event, let public opin-
ion be prepared, for the issue is at hand.
"Nothing that l can zee ahead can prevent
it. The Abolitionists have contemporary
spurned Walkers proposals for Compromise
party. He is now engaged in feint to regain
Southern confidence, with United States troops
quibblipg about the enforcement of some town
ordinances in Lawrence, whilst traitors and
reasonable State Government stalk throughout
the land. The fight will be transferred from
US. We have borne it long enough. Let the
battle be in the halls of the Congress of the
United States. Let it be decided this Congress.
Delay is death to us. If our friends in Con.
gress do not do their part, it is folly for US to
contend.
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN CALIFoRsIA-
One of the most significant events of the day is
the nomination, by the Republicans of Califor-
MIA, of Edward Stanly, to the Office of Govern

for years leader in the ranks of the Wing
party of North Carolina, and represented dis
trict of that State in Congress. We publish
Mr.. Stanly's letter of acceptance below:

There is little hope of the success of the Re-

past elections.
SALMON P. ChAsE.-Our readers will notice
with pleasure that this noble man has been re-
nominated by the Republicans of Ohio to the
Office of Governor station he has adorned
for the last two years. There are few men in
the country so worthy of the SURFACES of an
intelligent and honest people as Mr.. Chase,
and we have no doubt that he will receive the
vote of every friend of Freedom in Ohio. 1t
is an honor to such State to possess Chief
Magistrate who commands the respect OF the
best men of the nation.
