feeling of the south.
Under our Congressional head We re-
cord, with feelings We will not attempt to
describe, the most unfortunate affair be-
tween Mr.. KEIrT Of s. c., and Mr.. GRow,
Of Pa.
We have had recent opportunities of
ascertaining the views and determination
Of Southern. members of Congress with
reference to the admission of Kansas as 3
State under the Constitution which the
people of that Territory have presented
to Congress. It is, in substance, this -
The people of Kansas, in obedience to all
she forms and requirements of their or.
g.nic law, AJAX admission into the Union.
They present themselves with a Consti:u-
sion recognizing Negro Slavery. Now,
say Southern men, what is the ground Of
objection to the admission of Kansas p
Because, they reply, she asks to be ad:
nsitted under a Constitution aohich sane
stDHS osSCOS Ao0 DIG pASsOufCo AcE-
self with a Constitution interdicting Sla-
very, there wouldshave been no objection
from the North. We have net the re-
hottest hope, say they, that, if Kansas
ONES in under her Slavery Constitution,
that she will REMAIN a Slave State for
any length of time. We understand we'll
that it is her destiny to be a free State.
But, say they, we are the weaker section
and to have Kansas ruled out of the
Union because she has adopted our Insti-
tutions, would be an insult to us which
We could not submit to without dishonor.
It wsuld be a practical abandonment of
she position which the National Democra-
ey rave maintained since the foundation
of the Government, and an ignominious
surrender to the Unconstitutional demand
of the Abolition party of No more
Slave States" With the South, there
fore, it is a point of honor. They are
alarmed and exacerbated at the recent
aecsssions which the Abolition or Repub-
lican party have received in Judge DoU-
BIAS and others-and hence their unusual
sensitiveness.
The country is passing through a terri
BILE ordeal. Heaven grant that she has
strength to endure it.

we copy the iolloWlng paragraph from
last weeks Ohio Patriot:
* When. we left Washington a
week ago, Gov. MED1LL, of our State,
First Comptroller of the Treasury, was
IyiEg very sick. For six months past his
health has seen bad, but Notwithstanding
he has been able to attend to the duties
of his Office until some two or three weeks
ago. He will resign his position and be
bro't to Ohio, where a host of earnest and
sincere friends will hope for his speedy
convalescence.
We parted with the Governor since the
above was written and rejoiced to discover
that his health was improving. No mar
in Ohio has a frmcr hold upon the De-
nocracy than their Ex-Governor, and we
hope he will be enabled to fight many
battles, with his former energy and sue
cess, for the Ohio Democracy.

The Kansas Question-Speech of
Senator Green of Missouri.

Senator Green of Missouri.
We this week commence the publica-
ton of the speech of Hon. j. 8. Green,
Senator from Missouri, in reply to Sena-
tor Douglas on the Presidents Message.
We do not endorse Mr.. Green's views,
but we publish the speech, which by the
way is an able one, to let the people see
that there are really two sides to this
question. 1t is q question over which
democrats should not quarrel, it is one
for their calm deliberation; they should
view it in all its bearings with an eye to
the pnblic good.
The idea that the President, with his
great experience aud profound statesman
ship, would advocate or support q PROPOSE
ton which is lat variance with the interests
of the coun ~, the well eng Of the party.
or the dictates of common sense, is simply
ridiculous. The President has reasons,
cogent ones too, to support him. While
We believe Douglas to be right, we think
we should not act selfishly in this matter,
but should tolerate an honest difference of
opinion, and give our readers the truth
IL the premises that we may council to-
gether as brothers engaged in a common
cruise, and be ready to submit to what
ever course the majority may think right.
Some of our Democratic contemporaries
on both sides of the question, are sh'aek-
ing more than is necessary; a little mod

in following the jadicious course which
the ."Forum" has marked out for itself.

Mountain Journalism

Four years ago the writer Of this abandoned
proftless mining claim and undertook to conduct
a mountain journal. The enterprise was success
full, and through the forbearance and partiaity
OF cotemporaries, the paper attained consider
able degree of popularity and influence. But then
we did not fully comprehend the importance and
privileges of the position, and we removed to
what we supposed to be a wider labor field. Ere
long the mistake was apparent; we found that the
city press, while it demanded four-fold the labor,
had less Of influence than the journal published
among the rocks and fr-forests We were soon
convinced that country journals are the makers
Of sound opinion, and that while their editors
may be unaware of the mighty power 10 be exer-
cised in their fancied obscurity, they are helping
to swell the great tide Of public sentiment, which,
If impure at its sources, must continue on its
course turbd aud poisonous stream. So with
the great rivers which the genius of steam has
freighed heavily with eommerce--a little brook
rises among the rocks, and, feeble in itself, flows
in its to the sea, joined by other allies
as it goes, gathering courage and power until
reaching the plain the united strength Of waters
is resistless, and meeting the ocean, it stays the
landward coming waves. But when the river has
become swollen with thousand tribute bringing
streams, the little brook which leaps a1nbitiously
from the bank is lost in the mutitute Of waters,
and leaves scarcely ripple at the place of its
sepuliGre It's contribution is unrecognzed un-
less it bring poisonous elements to trouble the
waters or worthless food wood to disturb the
waterman.
California has cause Of self-congr graduation on
the ability Of her journalists and the intelligence
of her people. Whoever can attain respectable
rank in the editorial profession in this State need
not fear comparison if required TO pursue the
same avocaton elsewhere. Even the newspaper
writer who sits within hearing of the busy impIe
ments Of pioneers, has to write for the intelligent
and educated OF all lands he must possess fire
himself before be can enli 1hten others be must
be enduring and vigilant and waketul before be
