From Washington Civ.

AS stated last week, the Kansas question
holds the field in Congress against all op-
position, and as long as that Territory is
made TO "bleed," al others can have per-
mission to suck their thumbs. Kansas has
been bleeding now for four or five years;
and, as a consequence, so has the U. S.
Treasury-the pockets Of the people, and
almost every interest Of the country; and
President BUCHANAN thinks that it is about
time that this BLEEDING" should be "dried
up" and that she bleed" in future at her
own expense. We hope to see the wise
suggestions of the President speedily acted
npon by Congress; and Kansas out Of the
way, this Territory can reasonably hope
for little legislation by that body. Until
then, the bill for the payment of our war
debt, and oil other matters in which our
citizens feel an interest, will, Of course,

FRAzER's RlvER.-From recent intelli
gence received from Frazer's river, we arc
assured that it would be quite unsafe fol
parties at this time, to attempt to ascend il
in canoes or small boats. The river is ris
ing rapidly, and the current and rapids are
becoming furious. Two parties. recently
lost nearly all their outfits by the upsetting
Of their canoes in the rapids. The pack
trail from Bellingham Bay to Fort Hope
is now, perhaps, very nearly completed, but
adventurers to the mines should remember
that as yet they cannot obtain transporta

should provide themselves with animals be.

A RoUrE FOR THE ESCAPE OF THE Nor
MoNs.-Father Desmet, Catholic mission
ary, who has spent many years among the
Indian tribes, says that on either slope Of
the Rocky mountains there is q perfectly
practicable and easy route north from Salt
Lake to the British possessions. Father
D. has Travelled the route several times
with light wagons. He gives it as his
conviction that if the MOrmons leave their
present location they will proceed north
ward to New Caledonia, British America,
and settle at the base of the Portage
mountains near the 49th parallel. The
route is described in detail. The country
and climate is stated to be eminently supe-
rior to that OF Utah.-St. Louis Leader.

For FRAzER's RTER.-The Paget Sound
Herald of the 9th, says that party Of
seven or eight, SAMUEL McCAw among
them, left Steilacoom that day on tour to

river. They go for the purpose of satisfy
ing themselves as to the practicability Of
establishing pack trains from Bellingham

On her last trip to Bellingham Bay, the
Steamer Sea Bird took from this place

and we learn that a like number is in prep
aration to start to-day.

The essence of modern democracy of the
Buchanan school seems to be that all la
Dor is base and slavish, and that the free
white farmers and mechanics of the North
and West are really in the same degraded
position as the black chattels of theSouth.
Gov. Hammond regards all laborers as
mere "mud sills" for rich aristocrats to
tread upon; and Washington Union says
that athose who talk about free labor o.
"the North, and parade it as contradistin
ssguished from slave labor, are the meresi

than there, went to that place few days
ago with load Of potatoes. He did
so because the roads were bad, and he

his potatoes was ten cents per bushel, and
rather than sell them at that price, he
tipped them into Fever River. The result
was, that he thus obstructed navigation,
and was taken up and fined fourteen dol

horses is larger than the other, and has
white hind feet, and white streak on the

white spot with a streak running nearly
the whole length of his face. The larger
horse is dark, and the small one is light
