Territory becomes State.
The President has discharged high and responsible
duty In plscns this subject 70 clearly and forcbly be-
fore Congress and the country He has stripped OF all
its surroundings and exhibited the simple and naked
ucts as they exist the record Let Congress now do
its dntv a. faithfully aud we'll and sixty days will not
eapse before the country win exhibit state Of reposs and
quiet which shall lead wonder that has no lately
been the theatre of strife and contention ON topic tnus
easy of adjustment
IRON the Aieranafi. ssndnel
The message shows, a. With pencil Of light that the
strife Kansas is Of ron aaint av that the slavery
question is ssIbordnatcd to this, even by those who
make slavery the subject Of incesant clamor that the
revolutionary party hate law worse than they do slavery
and have admitted the latter than they would
submit to the former The President urges with great
power the duty Of adhering to law in general and the
reasons of expedenoy which concur with the imperative
obligations of duty in demanding the admission of Kan
sas under the Lscompton consttuton
This message has given new hope Of the Union, and
frmer conviction that Mr. Buchanan was the
providentially provided for the times
From the Philadelphia Pennsy vaninn
Mr. Buchanan is therefore right in declaring, when
gung the question Of the admission of Kansas " For
my part, am decidedly in favor Of it, admission,
and thus terminating this Kansas question In this
decision the President will be supported by large
majority Of the honest men Of all political parties,
who tired of having a few designing persons
vulse the country with needless pToongation of the
Kansas controversy. There Is now no doubt that a
majority of the people Of Kansas anxioHs TO be ad
quiet reign In that distracted country They have sgni
fled that desire by the formation of State constitution
in accordance with all the requirements Of the organic
act and that constitution endorsed by majority OF legal
voters at the legal time and at legal election districts is
made the basis of their claim for immediate admission into
the Union. Principle and policy both dicste compli-
with the wise and prudential suggestions of Mr. Bu
chanan. Kansas should be admitted with the Lecomp
ton constitution No democrat fail to and appre
cate the for this course who will read attentvely
the message Of the President Is sound in doctrine
patriotic in Tone and democratic in all its arguments and
bearings and must exercise commanding influence in
the nghul determination of this vexed Kansas question
From Post,
We hope that Congress- in the patriotic desire to teni
nate long, disturbing and dangerous agitation dctri-
mental to every interest of common country will
give this the consideration to which it is justly
entitled and give effect to Its recommendations The
admission of Kansas will transfer bitter controversy
from the halls of Congress to local fields and remove an
element of dscotd from the democratic party The good
Of the country requires that the members Of this party
should stand shoulder to shoulder the party would
gret to spare the great and final contest with section
alism that is all but upon any OF its noble champions
The union of ALL and the efforts of ALL will he needed to
carry the ship of State safely by the breakers that
looming so fearfuIy and portcntousy before it but this
single question disposed Of there would to be moth
ing further in the way of trumphs for the and
additional strength to the constitution and the Union
From the Petersburg (ya) Democrat
The views of the President in consonance with
ing the acceptance of the Lecompton constitution he
ognises the theory of American institutions, de-
scIbes the Just boundaries Of popular rights and points
out the only secure foundation for the structure of free
government We feel confident that the sentiments of
this message will receive the appreciation not only of the
true democracy of the union but of all who interest
ed in the preservation of these essential principles of hui
man rights.
from tho Philadelphia Ledger
President Buchanan has used his influence SO far in
maintaining honest and upright principles of public
duct the increased credit and character Of country
in the opinion OF nations abroad He will exercise
commanding influence at home to settle this sectional
strife which often dsturbs the peace Of the country
and endanges its integrity the people Of Che country
wse and sustain the which he recommends
to accomplish that object He has advised Congress- and
exercised his constitutional privilege with greater effect
than any President since General Jackson and this not
for himself and not for his portion OF the common
country but to enlarge the influence OF the whole coun
try abroad and to keep its parts together at home The
President relics upon the people for his support and nc
will not he disappointed in the result The security and
permsnency of our institutions the integrity of the
Union paramount to the trumphs Of any party,
the schemes Of politicians looking only to their own sell
fish and personal ends.
From Delaware Gazette
Let the democratic party now be firm, and bring Kan
sas into the Union sovereign State and the old ship
of State will glide gallany forward ms she has hereto
fore done What sailor worth groat who will desert
his ship captain in the storm Or what friendships
worth possessing which fosakes you in the hour of trial
Stand by the President whom you have chosen BY so
doing you stand by the Union and perhaps may preserve
it from the wreck which the uralss would make of it.
This not the time o stop to argue with weather
soldiers and fence We hope the great struggle is
now at hand and that the which is to decide
who is for the democratic party and who is against it will
be boldly carried through Congress without further
delay.
From the Portland pe) Argus.
We hope that Congress will not fail to close this ques
ton at the present session. and not have coming back
next year with another set of soutrages to be CON-
planned Of and complications to be overcome. In
spite of opponents this political game has now come
head and trust that head will ut be taken
off by the admission of the State ut this session. Then
shall hear of no troubles in Kansas than in any
other State Territory. Until then verify believe
to the Kansas STRIFE the Kansas Outra9es and to the
Kansas cxcitcmens, there will bc no end
From NE Times and Tribune.
We greatly msudge the intelligence and candor of the
American people the reasoning and conclusions of this
able State paper not triumphantly sustained.
From tho Bangor pe) Union
On the other hand if she is rejected, who foresec
mocracy and tho triumph Of black republicnism in the
Territory law and order will receive fatal blow, and
awlessness and rebellion will assume boldcr front of
nsolcncc Let the democrats theI be their guard.
The democratic party is the last bond Of the American
Union every other bond, political and religious is
cred The foes of the Union-the foes of human pro-
gressare at work to the disintegraton of
party and Kansas Is the instrument by of which
they intend effect IT, The President desires to defeat
their unholy purpose. Placed in position where he
can better than any other man, judge Of what will be
