G-Mr. Buchanan's position OH ihr question
of admitting Kansas INTO the Union, is that oc-
cupied by every man who believes that Law
and Order are necessary to the successful work.
ings Of Republican Government HIS oppo-
nrnts are in favor of continuing the reign of IA
naticism and violence which has so long and SO
can%essly rartged unhappy Kansas. There
is not Border Ruttian, whether of the "Blue
Lodge" or the Beecher sort, that is not oppos-
ed to Mr.. Buchanan's policy. jim Lane is op-
posed to it. Striuglelow opposed to it. All
are opposed to it who are in favor OF prolong-
ing agitation and anarchy. The eason of this
is OBVIOUS. .ar. Buchanan is cadearoriag 10
settle the Kansas difficulties his opponents are
stirling for purposes of their o,cn, 10 keep them
unsettled.
I'VE hope that the Democracy OF each and
every township in the county, will have some
OF their number present at the meeting TO be
held on Monday evening of Court week, as
business of importance is to be transacted.

GOVERNOR REyCHER'S MESSAGE.

The Message of the Governor of the Territory OK
Mexico, which appears in The Santa Re Gazsftc
in Spanish a. well English, congratulate the peopa
Of that Territory that although remote and exposed,
they are at least free from those "dsractng sabjecis
Of legislation which destroying the peace and
prosperity Of other infant Territories The Gov
rnor holds strongly to the doctrine that every political
community has right to decide for itself the character
f the laws and institutions under which il 10 10 i've
and he expresses great confidence that when the peo-
pie of NewMexco "ehoose TO assume the position Of
an independent Stae,' they viii be able TO exercise
thei- right in that matter "uninaueneed and unmoved
Shy foreign fanatics or border ufiansY We hope il
may prove so; but should the shareholders set their
hearts upon New-Mexico, as probably they will, Mr..
Rencher his successor, and the other Federal OFF,
in the Territory, may be called upon play thera
the same game now being played by the Federal Off
cials in Kansas.
These good hopes for lie future are followed up BY
dsquisitjon on the respective powers OF Congress
and the Territorial Legsature-we enough, perhaps,
addressed to the New-Slexco Legislature but not
containing anything very novel; The amount Of IL Is
that the Territorial Legislature only legisIate on
local affairs. The Governor enumcrates internal i'm
provements the domestic production of iron and coarse
wooi.ns, and improvements in agriculture, especially
the Introduction Of the Chinese sugar-cane as merti
attention He also refers TO the subject of Common
Schools, though, the public lands donated by Con-
gress for that purpose are not yet available, he does
not anticipate that much can be none.
The Territory Of NewMexc has not yet attained u
the magnificent scale of expenditures which prevails
among us, yet the arts Of getting into debt and Of
spopgDg the treasury to be as well understood
there as here The total receipts the last year were
1864. Tie warrants drawn were 0,973, leaving G
deficiency for the year Of s3,307, and raising tho
entire debt OF the Territory to 1882 against which
there outstanding dues TO the amount Of some
81 800. New taxes therefore necessary treasury
warrants already circulating at large discount. The
Governor states as tending to explain this Of
expenditure that the Territory pays the salaries Of
keeper and assistant keeper Of Territorial prison,
although there as no sDch prison, and considerable
ums, also, for sending convicts 10 this prison which
does not exist.
The Territorial buildings appears remain unfnished
for want Of funds.
Tie Governor complains Of recent decision OF the
Supreme Territorial Cour, according 10 which tho
sessions Of that tribunal limited TO place in each
of the three Districts This he represents amount
ing to little less than denial Of justice. The Courts
ought to be held in every unity, and he recommends
legislation for that purpose.

What a sad mistake Il Il 10 suppose that a
man should be gloomy because he Ia deyout :
as II misery were acceptable TO God, on ils
own account, and happiness and onense against
his dignity. A modern writer, Of much Wis
dom aud pith Of writing, says g." There Is u
secret belief amongst some men that God IL
diSpleased with mems happiness, 40 they
stink about creation, ashamed and afraid to
tnJoy anything :" These are the people Of
whom Hood says;--
"They think they're pious
When they're only bilious"
A good man ia almost always cheerful
one. II is IL that bad men should seowl, and
look blue, and be melancholy but lac who
has Gods smile Of appreciation upon him,
should show is radiance in his eountenanee.
DIR. Johnson said he "ncver knew a villain
ia his life that wAsnut on thswhole an un-

honest u,an-ths man with good conscience
let him enjoy his sleep, and his dinner, and
the love Of his wife, and the prattle Of Lis
children, and show a beaming face TO his
neighhor. Surely, there Is no worse theolo-
~ than thar which teaches that he who has

CouNTERREITINo LIouoRs.-This branch OF
art has been brought to great perfection. A
New York publisher offers for sale guide TO
rhe manufacture Of liquors, in the recipes for
which he says not one particle Of poison is
included. "And yet the book teaches how
every wine, liquor, &c, from the choicest to
the eommonest, can be initiated to that per-
lection that the best jut ges cannot detect the
method of manufacture, open by chemical
tesis ofhe sercrcSt character" II all this is
true the consumers would find great economy
in buying the Guide making their own Ii
quors and saving the profits, which are stated
to be from 90 TO 600 per cent. The author
of the book assures the pnblic that "the sys-
TEN adopted is perfectly natural-perfectly
harmless-perfcetly mordi4-and particularly
profitable. The Imitation is in every respect
tie =iGia-af the real possessing the same
qualities, yielding the same pleasures, per
forming the same duties, and acquiring the
