GovkRxoR PACKER on THE KANSAS QUESTION Some
anxiety has been manifested by tho public in regard to
Governor Packers views on the Kansas question Tho
inaugural, think, is explicit upon that issue 1t holds
that when elections frequent, and the right Of
suffrage liberal In this country it is peculiarly the
duty of good citizen to obey sispg o,ories, and even
objectionable lors, knowing that the former be changed
and the latter modified and repealed within very brief
period" And in abiding to the difficulties attending
this peculiar the governor says that ut sto be hoped
that Congress will make such provision for other Terrific
rics that the present difficulty will have repetition
tie future fs.s s..
If not mistaken in construction Of the above
extracts from the inaugural address, then it is clear that
Governor Packer takes precisely the view Of the case
that taken by President Buchanan in his annual mes
sage. They both enoin the necessity of obeyng exs
ing authorities and objectionable laws, and fur
Their they both recommend that fiasre such provs
ion will be made by Congress- for other Territories as
that the present difficulties may bc avoided in other
words that hereafter constitutions formed by oonven
tons Territory shall I've submitted TO the people prior
to their transmission to Congress This is the doctrine Of
the annual message and of the inaugural and ii is also
sound democratic doctrine But, far Kansas n con
cerncd, both President and governor evidently IN
of its admission into the Union sovereign State
under existing laws and this too is the wish Of large
majority of the people Of Pennsylvania.

MEXICAN SILVER MINES.

y . I i D.. i
By the annexed extract from the Extraordinary of the
city Of Mexico Of the ID instant, it appears that in
test in that country has prospered during the past year.
The Mexican laws and her policy generally have always
given much protection to the mining companies which
form Of the principal sources Of to the gov
crnment g tr r, ~
"The mining interest believe, is the only one in
the country that may be said to be ourshing The cir
cumsance of the great amount of honest aborng people
who inhabt every mining district mny explain why the
mining companies have not suffered severely from
wing bands Of reactionists and robbers commerce
1t Il very difficult to obtain approximate
innate of the silver which has been extracted from the
bowels of the earth in Mexico during the past year
good criterion should be found In the reported exports
through the custom-house but then again encounter
the oontrsband trade and In giving reported the ex
act amount Of exports should fall far short Of the
mark for by species Of fad that exists In all mines,
the annual reports Of the mining companies would fail to
give estimate of the amount of silver extracted
annually. The grand total foots up many millions of
dollars and we shall perhaps be able in the present month
give the figures of Of tho most fourshng mineral
districts" 0tfFH1 4M

Speaking of the resumption by the banks OF Philadel
phia and Baltimore the New York Courier and Enquirer
says:
"Ibe commercial relations between Baltimore and
Virginia extensive, aud the currency of the latter
enters fully into commercial transactions In Maryland
that Baltimore depends upon Virginia to at the
same time. Baltimore has two millions Of
specie to meet circulation Of less than three millions and
dcpostes only six millions while Philadephs hsa four
millions Ia specie and circulation Of only one rlllon
Thus both cities able to at once, in view Of
their liabilities merely and there being heavy
demand for coin for export there Is really no obstacle to
resumption in those cities.

3. The present Administration has proved

cry as one Of their domestic institutions, il
has forfeited oil claim to the support Of the
friends Of freemen, free laber, and equal

and that il Is the duty OF tho neneral GOV
