Correspondence Of the South Carolinian.


cratic Senators met in caucus, yesterday,
ON the Kansas bill, and determined to take
it.up Tomorrow. The opposition will move
20 take up the Minnesota bill or the Pa
cific Railroad Bill There is no doubt of
the fact, as general proposition, that the
Black Republicans of both, Houses desire
the admission of Kansas under the I4ccomp-
ton Constitution, though they will appear
strenulously to resist it. The reasons why
they desire the admission of Kansas are two
fold-frst, it brings additional strength to
their side, as Calhoun will give the State
Government to them, and it furnishes them
additional cause of attack against the Dcm-
ocratIc party as appearing to be pro.slavery

houn and his coadjutors. When saw that
the great cause of the South in Kansas was
placed absolutely in the hands of Calhoun.

of entrusting great questions of empire to
"wheedling stranger of here and every
whore" shows that the pro-slavcry party
/ had no power or no sagacity. If had
power, it certainly would have made a
Southern man dictator of the hour. The
idea of making Calhoun dictator, confcsses
infinite weakness or absolute inadness.-
Calhoun has the matter just where he can
make good thing of it. Heis Massa-
chusctts Yankee, who no doubt thinks it
virtue TO takea bribe for extending the area
OF freedom. This final development of the
Kansas question is calculated to disgust the
South with the so-calcd Democratic pro
slavery party of KANSAS, and think L may
venture the assertion that if the great bulk
OF the political leaders in Kansas of both
sides, including jim Lane and dictator

Missouri with a milestone tied round the
neck of each of the individuals, civilization
would lose nothing, and the South would
