Resided That concerning Kansas affairs, we agree with
the President in his late annual that they have
already occupied quite too large share of public aten-
on and that the Kansas Is admitted into the
Union the better for the peace o the Territory
and OF the country at large and we have uil confidence
in Mr. Buchanan and his constitutional advisers this

black republican enemy in this behalf
Speaking OF the Investigations into certain frauds in
the comptrollers office of the city of New York now in
course OF investigation in that city the Herald says
There is one very striking circumstance in connexion
with all these charges of fraud and that is that in
single instance has the late mayor who asserted to
be the father OF all the corruptions theft and wicked
nes of which this city the unfortunate victim been
mpicated Neither in the scrutnes of the investigating
committees the mysterious developments of the comp

The truth is, We have already stated the msnaned
free State Of Kansas did not and do not now
want the slavery question settled They want it kept
open till the presidential election in 1860, and to keep it
open they would trampe under foot all the constitutions
and Ill the laws in the universe They have desd the
laws from the beginning, and they will defy them To
the end If they get the constitution referred back
to them they will kick it about from year year and
use every exeton to keep the slavery question open for
agitation throughout the North The only chance for
speedy peace lies in the immediate admission of Kansas
under the constitution she has lawfully formed Ii that
constitution does not mbody the will Of the people the
first State legislature that assemblies call
ton to amend it, and the slavery clause, any other
provision that does not meet the sanction of the people,
can be stricken out If desired by the people, new
constitution from beginning to end, be formed in
less than three months after the admission of the State
Just Kansas shall be admitted, will
this dangerous agitation and Just long Kan
kept ont long will the nations be split with
'shrieks for freedom All who want speedy peace
should 60 with the administration for the immediate ad
mission of Kansas and whatever tmid politicians may
do the bone and snew Of the democratic party Penn

TUE REACTION LECoArroN. We glad to note
healthy reaction in the public mind relative the Lee
compton constitution. Gradually in the face OF all mis-
representations the fact working itself into the public
mind that the admission OF Kansas under that instrument
il the shortest method of settling the unhappy existing
difficulties The people that the Lecompton constitu
ton gives the people Of Kansas control of the affairs of
Kansas, and thinking that such eonsunmation is the
all Others most deyonty to be wished beginning
to wonder why it should be opposed and delayed We
predict that in six months after LecDmpton goes
through Congress, it will go through it
will be universally recognised of the wsest
