PLAN For DrsUSIoN.-"We have reason to
believe (says the N. Y. Express) there is
much truth in the following from the cores.
pendent of tie New York Times, and we han.
pen to know that at least one prominent
U. 5. Senator from free State has express
ed desire to accommodate the opposite ex-
trems upon their own TERMS"
81 am informed, on good authority, that
one OF the most distinguished OF the South
ern Senators remarked, n few days since, to a |
Senator from free State-in conversation, |
but not onfdentially-that the South had |
no interest in Kansas and cared nothing for |
it, but that they were convinced that the
true interests of both North and South re-
CURED separation, and they were deter
mined TO bring it about.
81 am perfectly satisfied, from various con-
sderations that dissolution of the Union
is the real object aimed at under cover of
zeal for the Lecompton Constitution. Sem
ator Masons remark in debate, yesterday,
refers to the project. There is a systemat.
lc plan OF operations already agreed upon, to
be carried into operation upon the rejection
Of Kansas.
tits believed that Maryland will 90 with
The South,-if not at first, as soon as n sep
nraiion shall be effected;-nnd hopes are en-
lertained that, through Mr.. Buchanan's intlu-
ence, Pennsy lvania will also be brought to
DIN the South. The President is perfectly
aware Of the these movements, but profrss-s
That by aiding the Lecomp,on movement he
AN acquire an influence with the disunion
eaders which will enable him to defeat their
schemes.
