The New York Herald which is generally sup
posed to speak inteligenty ,ifnot authoritatively
when II speaks for the South, has been spscula,
ting on the probable result of the present Kan
sas difficulties in Congress. Itsays: ~
"Three new Stafes-Kansas, Minnesota and
Oreoon-ars waiting at the doors of Congress
for admission into the Union, the first with

States There is no complaint from any quar-

It seems 10 be the object Of the Herald to stir
up the FIRE Of both ISrties to the contest, and es-

sit is a great mistake, also, to suppose that as
this question now lands, it is mere issue be-
tween the administration and Gov. Walker, or
between Senator Douglas and the Southern fire.
eaters, or between iiis faction and that faction,
OF this party and that party for Presidential sue
cession The question has been enlarged with
the recognition Of slavery in the Lecompton
Constitution, into q question of Northern ac-
oaiescenee in the vesut, or the submission of
IL
And as II is manifest that the submission of
the South in this case will reduce that section
90 q mere dependency of the North, we may safe
Nv anticipate the most determined Southern re-
sistance against all attempts and all devices to
SET aside thei L ecompton Constitution.
The idea Of the South becoming a mere de
tendency of the North by submitting to the
majority In free country where the majority
rules, IT is the height OF folly to talk of the mi
nority being dependency upon the majority
As well might we say that the Republican party
is now ''mera DEPENDENCY Of the Democracy
/ because it submitted to the election of james
BuchanarNas President. But we are not aware
of any feeling Of dependency. We believe our
principles are right, and we labor for their SUI
/ nremacv. aud hone TO succeed at no distant
day.
The old story Of secession and dissolution OF
The Union the Herald re-hashes with an appa'
rent gusto. that is simply disgusting. The idea
that the North can lie longer frightened by this
bugbear. has become effete and the Herald
should know its Northern readers better than TO
suppose It can TIGHTEN them from the stand
they have taken in favor of Right, Justice and
Humanity. II the South is anxious to try its
hand alone, we are willing it should make the
attempt.
After setting forth the grievances of the South,
the HeraIdwinds up with the following program
me- of farce fty the South to perform, and
awaits for the curtain TO rise.
with this state Of things subs.sting between
| the two sections, the refusal Of the North to
admit Kansas as a Slave State may prove to be
| the last parcel which breaks the camel's back.
/ The provocation 10 the South win only be the
more pointed and offensive from the fact that

All their complaints, grievances and threateningS,

this Kansas difficulty has been reduced to a solu-
