WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1857.
The formal declaration of TIE Washington Uaion
that Kansas lie sure TO become q slave State, has
naturally produced lively sensation. 1t is well
known that The Union is organ No. ]. Its au-
thority is disputed by The States, but its columns
bear the official stamp. 1t publishes "by author
ty the appointments, and it is made the vehicle for
conveying information from the Departments which
s withheld from the correspondents of the indie
pendent press. Its significant averment that Kan
sas must by "inevtable consequence enter the
Union slave State, must have been made with the
concurrence Of the President. 1t is true that the
next morning Major Harris sought to explain that
this was only his opinion; but an official Organlst
does not upon so vital point, state his opinion
without the consent of his employers. He has no
opinions; what bufiness has he WITH opinions
The Jnion had two objects in making this start
ling assertion It's editor wished to mOllify and
weaken the opposition Of Southern fanatics TO the
Administration az well az to drop an anchor deep
in the affections of the majority in the next Con-
gress, before which he will be a candidate for the
printing. From these two facts it appears that not
ONLY is the Administration willing TO paclfy the
utras and secessOnsts Of the South by surrenderng
Kansas to their clutches but that candidates for the
favor of the Democratic party in Congress believe it
to be so wholly devoted to Slavery that the best
mode of commanding its votes is to pronounce
against the Free-State cause in Kansas.
The time for throwing of the mask has come.
The machinery for the manufacture of slave State
is perfected. The Congressional elections are over.
Martial law s in force in Kansas. The prisons are
again being filed with Free State men. The Pro-
Slavery Convention is about to assemble and will
force the adoption Of its Constitution by any and
every means. Walker will continue to make fair
speeches, but is doing and will do all that lies within
the power and influence Of his Office to make Kansas
slave State, as The Union predicts. The Northern
Democratic members will not rebel on account OF
tbs outrage. / hazard the statement that any bill
for introducing Kansas into the Union, which
TtOmbs and jeff Davis may cook up, will be swal-
lowed, though with perhaps few wryfaces.
There will, of course, be some squirming and
clustering on the part of the secession actisn of
which Keitt and his crew of lunatcs are the head,
body and tall but they will content themselves with
bullying Mr. Buchanan and will take care to vote
for all the measures Of his Administration. Tney
will rule him just eiiecually they did Pierce.
They are doing it now. They have rendered Walker
rs pOweress, except as their tool, as they boast
Geary was when he lief. the Territory.
Senator James G. Jones has been making a
speech in Tennessee, designed to show that he
would make all excellent successor to himself. But
jennings speeches will be quite useless. The next
Legislature Of Tennessee will return to the Sen ate
old Democrats and not renegades. The persons
most likely to be elected are Gov Andrew johnson
and Gen. Pillow. The recent election having
shown the Democracy to be the only party in the
State which possesses spark OF vitality it OF
course is entitled to be represented in Congress by
men of its own stamp. The pure Niger DemOcra-
CIV is the only species recognized by Tennesseans in
our day. PEMAQUID
