The YOrNG MEN's CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

wide departure from those objects which, in
their judgment. have marked its recent

Our readers are aware that the Subject of
!Slarery has been the disturbing element in
this matter Some members of the As. cia-
ton who we're very active and jealous in the
late political campaign, insisted upon carry
ing the discussions to which it gave rise into
the meetings of this body. Stimulated by
a portion of the press, both secular and re.
igious, they persisted in requiring from the
Association declarations ofopinion, as we'll as
discussions, upon the subject of Slavery
The inevitable result Of this movement wat

poses for which the Association was formed

and convert It substantially into political
club. 1t will be matter of general regre,
that an Association which had so large and
so inviting field of usefulness, and which
was doing SO much practical good, should
have been thus interrupted and crippled.

Kansas Matters.

Secretary Stanton has published an address
to the people of Kansas, in the Lecompton
Union. He says the Administration has
recognized the authority of the Territorial
Legislature and the validity of the Territorial
laws, and has especially recognized the act
providing for Constitutional Convention.
He presumcs that that Convention will sub
NIT the vital question of the domestic institu-
tons of the State for the subsequent vote of
the people, and thinks that Congress will then
admit the Territory Immediately into the
Union as State. He recommends general
amnesty for past prosecutions, and expects
the presence of Gov. Walker about the mid
die of May.
The gang of ruflians rewarded by the
Buchanan administration with fat offices has
been lately increased by 10. Anderson. the
member of the bogus Legislature who intro
duccd the celebrated black laws, making lib
erty of speech and the press felony. For
that specimen of modern sham democracy he
gets fat place in the territorial land Office

not appear on the plan. Several village lots
were sold here at fifty dollars per acre and
