The Presidents Kansas Message.

A large portion of our paper is occu-
pied with this able, and patriotic Mes
sage of President Buchanan on sub
hitting the Lecompton Constitution to
Congress, to which we invite the attcn
ton of our readers. By this message
it will be seen that the President has
assumed hiszaasition in favor of the
speedy xahhs9lBn of Kansas with the
Lecompton Constitutiou-his Constitu-
tional advisers, selected from all sections
of the Union, and composed of men of
great intelligence, undoubted patriotism
and unquestioned fidelity to the princi-
Piles of the Democratic party, are a unit
in support of the views enunciated by
Nh. Buchanan. The Democratic mem
bers of the Senate, with two or three
exceptions, are firm and enthusiastic in
defence of the right of the people of
Kansas to claim admission into the sis
terhood of States with the Constitution
formed at Lecompton, and ratified on
the 21st of January, while fully ninety
per cent. of the Democratic members of
Congress unite with their party friends
in the Senate in their desire to settle the
Kansas difficulty on the basis proposed
by Mr.. Buchanan. So far as all these
things go to establish a party platform,
they certainly all pointi in one direction,
and that the path marked out by the
President-the duty of all Democrats
to vote for and advocate the admission
of Kansas with the Lecompton Consti-
tuition, which is now in possession of
both branches of the National Legisla-

The truth comiug ONT.

We have always been of the opinion
that there was more knavery than hon.
esty in the agitation of the slavery ques.
ton, and particularly that branch of ii
which relates to kansas. That question
has been seized upon by designing pol.
~iticians as a means by which they can
get into and keep themselves in power,
n not through any love OR respect for
principle. All the recent developments
on this subject have been calculated to
strengthen our convictions in this res
peet; and We give below an extract from
the Kansas Daily Ledger, a free-State
paper, which, it seems to us, ought to
convince all who have ever doubted as
to the real cause of the controversy
The Ledger says:
''Niggers is not the great bone of con-
tention in Kansas, and those who cry
out most Justify for "nigger' or mo mig
ner, hav' mt money enough, as a general
thing, to buy a "plug of tobacco, with.
The real bone o. contention is poooer and
the spoizs; and the poor niger is made
to bend and bow to suit the purposes
of those political demagogues, that they
may ride into power and obtain some Of
the spoils-and hat's all. The free
State party nor the ro-slavery party of
Kansas care anything about the moral
condition of the niggers, but they must
have a text to preach from, and the poor
niger has been preached in all his as
poets throughout our land"
And upon the admission of Kansas
into the Union under the Lecompton
constitution, the same paper says:
"LetC Congress attend to their own bus
ness, and let us attend to ours. We
have something more to accomplish be-
sides the admission of Kansas into the
Union. We want railroads, telegraphs,
churches, common schools, and a host
of other things of minor importance;
but, paramount to all these, zoe aoamt
peace"
And again:
"They THE people of Kansas are
heartily sick and tired of this internal
niger agitation; they have had a surfeit
of it; it Injuries their business, blasts
their prospects, and keeps up a continu-
al strife. Let Kansas be admitted into
the Union somehow or other, and with
kind of a constitution, that we may
have peace
These extracts show, what we have
believed and insisted was the
case, that it is for power and the spoils
that the republicans of the North, who
have got up and kept alive this contro-
versy, are contending; and that the peo-
pie of Kansas themselves, no matter
what others may say or do, are sick and
tired of agitation, and anxious that it
should be settled-by the prompt and un-
conditional admission o fthe Territory as
a State under the Lecompton constitu-

whore TO move to.

The Minnesota Legislature has a bill
now before it which will suit to a L, if
it passed into a law-and it is seriously
aIvocated-a very large number of peo-
pie in every region of country. 1t will
aid Minnesota vastly in filing up its
waste lands and its sparsely populated
towns with a class who have found it de-
cidedlv disagreeable to live anywhere
else. The bill is of this character:
SEC. 1. That all persons who may ar
rive in this State from aud after the first
day of April, 1858, and who shall be-
come actual settlers in said State, shall
be exempt from all process of law of
whatsoever kind, for the recovery of any
debt or debts, which they may have con-
tracted outside of the limits of said State
of Minnesota previous to said first day
of April.
SEC. 2. No judgment shall be render
ed in any court of this State, nor shall
any execution be issued against the prop
erty of any person or persons, as desert
bed in the preceding section, for any
debts contracted by them outside the
State limits previously to the first day
of April, 1858, and said property shall
remain and be exempt from Judgment
and execution until the 1st day of April
1860.

A Calculation.

Speculations are rife as to the proba-
bilities of the passage of the Lecompton
Constitution through the House of Rep
resentatives-its passage through the
Senate being conceded on all hands
The following calculation on the subject
we copy from a New York paper, and
give it to our readers for what it is
worth:
Republicans 90
MaayLand.-Davis, Harris and Ricaud 3
Kentucky.--Jewett, Clay and Stevenson 3
Pennsyluaniu.-IIickman and Montgom-
cry 2
hdiana.-English, Davis, Niblack and
Foley 5
IAinois.-Morris, Harris, Shaw, Smith
and Marshall 5
OAio.--Cox, Groesbeck, Pendleton,
Hall, Cockeril; Miller, Burns and
Lawrence s
Ne1o ork.-Sicklcs, Maclay, Has
kins and Corning 4
Ns,c Jersey.-Adrian 1
Total 122
The n~inety-two republicans embrace
Blair, Of Missouri, Morris of Pennsylva-
MIA and Campbell, of Ohio. Mr.. Caru-
Tiers, of Missouri, is absent from the
country, which reduces the number
of members to 236, making 119 votes
necessary to a choice in a full house.
By the above calculation, the opposition
would have three majority. L am free
to say that 1 believe the Administration.
with its powerful patronage already at
work, can remove that majority
The calculation, it will be observed,
embraces seven members from Slave
States, viz: l from Missouri, B from
Kentucky and 3 from Maryland. 1t is
Scarcely probable that all or even a ma
jority of these will go with the Republi-
cans-conscquently the three votes OF
an estimated majority against the Lee
compton Constitution can hardly be re
lied upon by the opponents of the Ad-
ministration.
We incline very strongly to the opin-
ion that the Lecompton Constitution
will be endorsed by both branches oil
Congress, and that Kansas will be ad
mitted as a State under that instrument
during the present session.

rm-We ought to make a very liberia

rm-We ought to make a very liberal
allowance in discussing the political is
sues of the day, for the fact that for
more than thirty-ive years we have had
a species of political North and political
South. The habit of a great public is
not unlike that of an individual. They
have a way of coloring subject very sim
liar; a way of imbibing prejudices and
preiudging cases almost the same. Let
us apply these suggestions to the Kan
sas controversy. There is in reality in
that controversy, as it now stands, not
one element of the old slavery quarrel.
1t has dwindled down into a dispute
about the construction of laws-wheth-
err the act of 1854 conferred sufficient
authority upon the people to authorize
them to frame a State government?
whether delegates elected by the people
for specific purposes are to be presumed
to express the will of the latter? Some
few men, who never forget and never
learn anything, still talk about the slave
oligarchy in connection with Kansas af-
fairs, as old soldiers fight their battles
over and over again; but in honest
truth there is nothing of the slavery
question left. There is not country
court in all this Union which is not call
ed upon to decide questions, from month
to month, of more practical Importance
than that which is involved in the ter
ritorial issue now before the country.

FiSh in

A very disgraceful row occurred in
the House of Congress last Friday night,
in which Grow of Pennsylvania, and
Keitt of South Carolina, were the prin-
cipal combatants. Such scenes are a
burning DISGRACE, and we think the con
stitucnts of these "Honorables" should
invite them home. there to remain I'M
til they learn to be gentlemen instead
of blackguards. They have lot only
disgraced themselves but the Hall OF
Congress, and should not be allowed to
remain there any longer. Such a course
toward all who stoop to such dishono-
rable conduct, would serve as a check
and no doubt prevent a recurrence Of
these disgraceful scenes.

B~The friends Of the administration

B9%The friends Of the administration
have been severely assailcd for express
sing an earnest desire to take the near
est route which leads to a settlement Of
the agitating questions involved in the
affairs of Kansas. They desired to get
the matter out of the way. they especi-
ally wished to defeat agitators in their
efforts to make the dispute in Kansas a
medium for general alarms throughout
the country. Now it turns out hat the
people of the Territory concur in a prac-
teal way with the democracy; they think
it just rs we'll to take part in their own
government. That they want to be adj
mitted as a State is made clear enough
by the play-government at Topeka,
which has served to amuse them so long.
Having so much practice in a Thespian
sort acting, we are for promoting them
to realities and responsibilities.

The seaboard of South Carolina is near

Who round the hearth stone used to close
After the evening prayer.
And spcaking of what these pagos said,
In tones my heart would thrill!
Though they are with the silent dead,
Here is the living still.
