The Irteiiigsncer says:

"The Liverpool steamer which arrived at
New York yesterday brings news Of treaty
having been signed between the United States
and Prussia, which the telegrsphic despatch
calls treaty of comr,ercs. If any treaty has
been signed by Prussia jointly with the United
States, it Is doubtless Q treaty on the subject
Of maritime var, the form Gf which was sent
out to all cur European Ministers some months
ago, with power to conclude it with the Gov
ernnents respectively to which they are &C
credited. The project. We believe, cont9,neo
simply the three points adopted by the farls
Conference with the additional one proposed
by our Government"
The Union, discussing Kansas and the Ad-
ministration, says:
"The administration, beyond all question,
will act towards Kansas precisely In accord
ance with the principles ennnciated by Mr.
Buch ansn from the eastern steps OF the Capt.
tol on the 4th of March. The affairs Of Kan
sas, like those of every new Territory, require
to Be conducted with honesty, and vigor, and
wisdom. The organic act prescribes, for the
mos. part, the mode Of their administration
Within the provisions of that act, self-govern-
ment should undoubtedly be secured to the
settlers there, at all hazards, and they should
be protected, whenever necessary, against in
surrection and violence. 1T Is the indispcns.

cure TO every resident inhabitant the free and
independent expression of his opinion by his
vote
The truth Of this statement no good citi-
Ien will deny, wherever he may reside, or to
whatever party he belongs, for no such man
can reasonably refuse TO others the rights and
immunities which he claims for himself The
will of the majority can only be sscertsincd
by the exercise or free Suffrage, and it is a
mere mOcksry to hold elections if only half
the voterscan be permitted to attic nd the polls
Very clearly this is not Mr.. Buchanan's idea
Of free suffrage, or popular sovereignty. One
of the greatest securities in this country for
obedience 10 the laws is that all our citiz
assist in making the laws, and that they can
not rebel, therefore, except against govern

part. Where men participate in tie law.

tunity to sgitate for a repeal Of statutes which
they do not like, they have 10 excuse for be.
coming law-breakers or attempting to over.
throw legislation by violence. Mr. Buchanan
embraces in his policy the true rule of action,
when he advocates, at the same time, the
night to vote, and the duty 70 obey. And the
rule of action which he has announced ro
man need doubt that he has frnness enough
