The dropping of the political curtain and the pro-
longed period occupied by the actors indicate alto.
gether new costumes, scenes, and plots by The L.
publicans in the great drama now under represen
taton before the American people. There are to bc
no negroes on the boards any more at present
White men have just risen into favor, We are pos
ityely threatened with republican sympathy for our
own American people--their rights hereafter are TO
come into notice.
The programme of the antslavery men has been
changed Its future movements are to be turned
to allegations Of frauds in Kansas The public mind
is to be filed with ceaseless persistent, and reck
less denuncaton of the people of distant Terrific
ry who for nearly four years have stxven by every
exertion to maintain there the government establish
ed by Congress. That government was met by oppo-
sitionan opposition that soon degenerated into in
surrection and rebellion. The consprators adopted
every means under heaven to degrade, defeat, and
overthrow it. They created in opposition to it the
government of Topeka. They refused to recognise
the authority either of the local Legislature that
of Congress. Thus the work went to its con-
summation the adoption of State constitution
This being accomplished. the alternative was
presented of risking open rebellion organizing
the opposition upon an entirely new basis THAT of
alleged frauds in the election. The latter has been
adopted as the safer and more available Of the two
modes of attack. Hence may anticipate an ut,
ter change of scenc-a mode of tactics and war
fare. Mr.. Harris of Illinois, recruit to the repub
licans, is selected to lead of. He opens the work
with most formidable effort to cothe a committee
of the House Of Representatives with all the powers
usually conferred by State legislatures by which the
will of the people is ascertaned upon any given
question. The first assumption in this process is
this that the federal government has been in rebel
lion against Lawrence and Topeka the second is,
that it is the province of Congress to conduct State
and territorial elections and to decide their results
the third is that those who legally adhered to the
act of 1854 ought to be punished and degraded the
fourth is, that the ubiquitous rebels" and those
"mob-law men, denounced by Mr. Douglas and Mr.
Harris year and half ago now disfranchised
patriots and political martyrs, whose vindication is
to bc the chief object of this new holy alliance in
American politics.

One of the chief objects of criminal investigation
is to ascertain the motive Of the wrong-doer. The
mere act sclf-the corpus deiieti-is not often the
subject of more than mere professional formule,
We are indebted, then, to Mr.. Hale, Of New Hamp
shire for the frank manner in which he disclosed
the other day the motives Of his political associates
in their warfare against the democracy and the ad
minstration. We regard Mr.. Hale as authority
upon this point lie is caressed and fattered by the
republicans all over the North He is not too scru
pulous for their work-a fatal objection il it were
otherwise as their success is intended in our judg
ment, to relieve them Of all "fainf' on account Of
their present relations with tho slave States. Mr..
Seward was thoughtless enough to declare that his
action in the Senate should be governed by consid.
eratons of duty to the whole country and not at all
by the dictates and interests of the men with whom
he had held close political relations. This was loyal
to the Union but it was treason to the republicans
Mr.. Hale was excessively indignant He called it
submission TO the slave powers wicked and in
exc'lsable support of the measures Of the admnstra
upon the basis ofmerits. Mr.. Hale occupied an at
titude very different from his standpoint THERE'S
virtue in sight save that of detraction abuse and
opposition to the administration. To these he commit
ted himself and his republican associates. They arc
then, no longer senator's and members of the House
Their business is not to do the work of legislation
but to defeat it; not to build up but to pull down
Rebellion in Utah is better than the triumph Of the
democracy. Now, if we add the bit Of explanation
subsequently made in the Senate by Mr.. Trumbull,
of lllinoisthat the republicans disavow the posi-
ton of MIR. Douglas in reference to Kansas affairs;
that they go back to the very origin of the local gov
ernment, and impeach it Of fraud from the start;
that they uphold the Topeka constitution and usti
~ all the ubiquitous rebels" formidable insurrec-
tions, and murders of the Tcrritory---we shall be
able all the better TO appreciate not only the motives
of the opposition, but what is now equally impor.
tan we shall be able to point out to our retrograde
democratic friends the extent of the confessions they
yet required to make in order to bring them into
full communion with Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Trumbul

RaoDr ISLAND "A democratic State convention of this
State viii be held in Providence on Thursday, the 25th
instant.
The Washington union., 1858-02-09

The enemies OF the Lecompton constitution IN Con-
gress opened their upon it with the objections
that there was enabling act authorizing call of
the convention which framed it that it was not
properly submitted to fully ratified by the pco
pie of Kansas and that it could not be altered OF
amended until after the year 1864. Within the brief
space of time that this subject has been under dis
cusson we have seen the first and the last of these
objections formally abandoned by the admission of
Judge Douglas in the one case, that enabling
was not necessary, and of Mr.. Wilson, of Massachu
sets in tie other, that 'the people have right to
change their constitution when they please and just
how they please The charge that the constitu-
ton was not properly submitted nor fully approved
by the people of Kansas is the only objection that
it's opponents make to its reception---the
only one of their original positions to which they
still adhere and this objection, if indeed it could
ever have had the force of an objection,
oectuay cured by the vote of the people for State
officers ON the 4th of January, under the constitu
ton That vote was complete recognition of
the binding force and authority of the Lecompton
constitution as its worst enemies would demand, and
as clear waiver Of any objection to the manner in
which it had been framed and adopted as could be
given. Then why is its reception by Congress OPP
posed If no enabling act was necessary-and Judge
Douglas says it motif the people have ac-
knowlcdged il as bnding--and their action on tho
4th of January shows that they didand If it be
altered and amended whenever the people choose to
do it-and Mr.. Wilson says IL can--why, we ask
does Judge Douglas and Mr. Wilson, and the other
sefappointed friends of Kansas deny her place in
the Union where she will be sovereign and indie
pendent, and where outside power can control
her domestic affairs

Kansas has already cost this country fifty mil
lions of dollars in money to say nothing OF
the startling estimate of moral evils, that gi-
gantic instament of political leprosy, which
the Kansas agitation will leave as legacy to
the American people. Such are the bitter and

respondent OF ssThe Press" gives this bit OF
encouragemen to the friends of the democrat

reading in the eastern part of the State:-
.:The signs everywhere in the West indicate
that if Hon. William A. Porter is opposed by
a lawyer of good reputation, and running upon
principles antagonistic to the anti-Democratic
platform laid down by the late Harrisburg
Convention, he will be beaten out of sight
this fall, and his chances of political resurrec-
tion will be delayed to the time appointed for
Gabriel to blow his horn -

= SENSIBLE THING FROM Mr.. EvEEETT.-
Edward Everett, in letter apologizing for
not attending the dedication Of a new school
house, closes his letter thus:
awe must not rest satisfied with a general
impression that our schools are in very salts
factory condition. There is some danger that
showy accomplishments, such as defamation
and English composition-oftcn prcmaturely
attempted-and dramatic exhibitions-which
seem to me wholly out of place at school
will occupy the time and thoughts of teachers
and pupils, to the neglect of thorough ins:ruc-
tion in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar,
geography, history, and Christian morality,
and other branches of solid English edu-
cation.''
