KANSAS IN THE SouTH.-The New Orleans

KANSAS IN THE SoUTH.-The New Orleans
True Delta, in referring to the Green-Pugh
amendment TO the Kansas BILL says: "South-
ern men may support, in the House of Rep
resentatives, rs they have done in the Senate
Of the United States, propositions so trans
parently unsound and incompatible with their
professed principles at home; but such sup
port will neither deceive or Wislead the peo-
pie, who, upon this Kansas humbug, in all
its aspects, are neither to be frightened into
alarm dangerous to the stability of their deep
rooted principles, merely to ward off from
themselves an imaginary danger, to enable
their servants to enrich themselves and their
connections by the spells Of place. Delegates
from the South may vote to adult Kansas
into the Union on the Lecompton programme,
which has passed the Senate, and the will of
the people Of that interesting Territory may
b. thus set Mt naught and defed; but the man
or men who do i; will look in vain TO their
constituents for their approval"

RETALIATION

There seems to be no doubt that Mr.. JEFF
ferson was the father Of Reputation. His
biographer, Mr.. Randall, not only admits the
fact, but glories in it. He first broached the
subject in letter, from France, TO Mr.. Madi-
son. Mr.. Madison dissented. The biogra-
pher says:
"Nlnety-nine out Of nearly every hundred
well educated persons in the United States,
we doubt not, would have conquered with the
conclusions Of Mr.. Madison at the period
when these letters were written. Nay, We
can readily fancy the"hard names" that would
have been showered upon Jefferson then, had
his views found publication. But it has hap
pered in this instance rs with most of his
political! 'rndicalisms' But little over half a
century has passed away, and they are now
adopted and praciiced theories among men.
constantly spreading over and controlling
larger portions Of human socieiy-anG where
they have not been adopted by the minority,
they are no longer met MS frightful innova-
tons, but as open questions where men have
right TO doubt and discuss. The principal
practical application which Mr.. Jefferson pro-
posed To make of the above theory-the llm-
talion OF power of governments to contract
debts beyond the life Of a generation, and a
provision, in all instances, simultaneous with
the contracting for the payment of annual in
terest-has been engrafted with the happest
effects into the constitution of several Amer.
can States. The radicaisn of the eighteenth
century becomes conservatism in tho nine
teenth."
We hope Dinety-nine ont Of every hundred
would have repudiated this odious doctrine
at that day-we hope the whole hundred
would repudiste it now. /, is nothing more
or less, as far as we can see, than the incul-
cation of downright robbery. Several loco
loco States acted it out, but we do not think
their example is likely to be followed in
hurry. Pennsylvania tried it, and her "drab-
colored men" will never get over the stigma
as long az she remains State. Sidney
Smith consigned them to immortal infamy.-
Mississippi tried it under the lead of Cover
nor McNutt, and Mississippi will never re-
cover from the stencil of the transaction, until
1t repudiates locofocoisnl, and pays its debts.
This system Of plumber, so quantity termed
"poIitical radicalsm" by Mr.. Randall, does
not suit our people yet while, thank Heav.
en-, whatever may be their feelings towards it
few years hence. There are certain other
little "radicaIisms" which, although they re
ceived the sanction of Mr.. Jefferson's name,
are not likely to be much admired, by South.
ern people at least. One of these is abol-
tionism, and the other infdelity. These are
"not adopted and practiced theories" among
men in the South, and though they are not
regarded as "frightfu Innovations" they are
looked upon as something fully as bad
Richmond Wing.
