The New York Times says Senator Green has
openly avowed that in his effort to pass the Lecomp-
ton constitution, he was working for the salvation,
not of the Union of the constitution or of any such
'glittering generality" but simply and solely of the
democratic party The democratic party is the
bond Of the Unon-it is the Union itself and the
preservation of the necessarily nsures the safety
of the other If the Times can inform us how the
latter can survive the dissolution of the former we
will then inquire whether Senator Green made the
avowal which it attributes to him and, if so, how
far he is culpabc for doing it.

ment, by the republicans of the House, of Mr. Crit
tendens amendment to the Kansas bill II rests it's
objection upon the ground THAT no State should be
admitted with slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min how
clearly unanimously the institution may
be desired by the people concerned" The repub-
cans thus told to insist upon the right of Con-
gress to control the laws and institutions of State
even after it has been admitted on equal footing
with the other States This is the old Wilmotprovso
platform, still adhered to by the genuine black

KANSAS IN THE HOuSE

One who has been couple of months at sea,
tossed about at the mercy of wind and wave, can
appreciate the sincerity of the expression
which we hear all Sides that the House of
Representatives will Thursday next take up
and decide the fate of Kansas. If ours is not
exclusively government of mere politics. ma
nGuvre for position by partisansif we have
high interests which require attention--it is man
fest Kansas has had its share of the time of
the Legislature. Besides, express the universal
feeling that the case should be disposed Of II is
due to the administration, to Congress, and the
country. 1t is due to the dignity of the nation, to
its character, and to its good name Let the column,
then, be closed up--cvcry man be at his post and
above all, pass the bill By doing this we shall
drive Kansas into Kansas--we shall no longer be
compelled to share in her doubtful reputation and
virtues Thursday next is the day pointed out by
Mr.. Stephens; let us pray for vote on that day.

JIM LANE.

II takes all sorts of men to make up this world Of
ours the mention of this mans name is enough to
prove it. We do not affect TO despise Lane, we
rather like him, He is systematic impostor 1.-The
great political contd enee of the age and gener-
alton. Ii the republican party has the least warrant
for its existence, the least right TO claim popular
favor Lanes character becomes both important and
sanct6ed There might have been republican
party without Lane but there could have been no
Lane without republican party. Jim Lane is no
new man in history. When piracy romantic
and heroic the high could boast of many
Texas was full of them before the law got into
that country. All frontier life is instinct with
Laneism. In truth the great canvass of ls40-
the hard cider aifair-was nothing more nor less
than republican tactics of the present day The
gold spoons and the howl that went up from the re-
publican press was Lsneism--that was all. We re-
peat we rather like Lane. He is a bold, heroic,
impudent fellow. In regard to his personal quail
tiles we know little. He is largely engaged in
matters but his proclamations more
ous than his fights. We have no belief that
he is dangerous on account of his courage. They
say he voted for the Kansas bill, but it was under
mOmcntny pressure, ana 30 VIC are not ulsposeu W
claim the credit of his support for that measure of
democratic policy. Wenever believed Lane would
accomplish much but that he can boast Of re-
cruits such as Mr.. Douglas, Mr.. Walker, (who by
the way is reported to be writing forty six-column
article on Kansas Stanton, and some other prom
nent democrats, we are not certain but he will tr
umph. His stay in Kansas cannot be long, because
that people are becoming very respectable, and will
not much further endure his presence. 1t is none
of our business, but we venture, nevertheless, to
make the suggestion that Lane could just now do
take Summers place in the Senate. He is man
Of much ability than Sumner; while his
qualities agtator could not fail of appreciation
under the regime of Mr.. Banks in Massachusetts,.
If we are to have of agitation, we would
much prefer to take it in an epidemic character at
once so we recommend that Lane be called out of
Kansas and employed where he can be most effect
i've. The good Of the State should override all
other considerations We could not well spare either
Sumner OF Hale but they would not be thought of, if
we had Lane in the Senate. Lane in the Senate !!
would at once organize the militia, and put down
long sessions at the point of the bayonet; and he
would do all this without any personal risk to him
self There is no time to be lost, gentlemen. Let
Gen. Jim be got into the Senate. If your cause is a
good one, his services are invaluable.

How ARE THE PARTS TO BE RECoNcmED MIR.
Seward starts off with the declaration that tho Le-
compton constitution is surprise and usurpation
Mr.. Walker says it was conceived in iniquty and
fraud, and that those who sustain it become
sorry thereto after the fact Mr.. Douglas started in
the chase with the declaration that it void be-
cause it was not submitted all the republicans
concur that it is utterly void but they assign there
for various reasons. Some say that the Topeka gov
ernment is the trne of the people others
insist that the territorial government is the only
which can be recognised. But all the opposition Of
the true negro stamp and ring declare that the Le-
compton constitution is absolutely void-that it can
not be recognised without tainting those who touch
it. WELL then, how are the republicans to vote for
Mr. Crtcndens bill That bill proposes the adj
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitu-
ton, on certain conditions. 1t is thus made the
basis not only of legislation but it is made the su
preme law the fundamental law of the future State.
Will the republicans vote for the Crittonden propo-
ston? Will they surrender to the know -nothngs
what little capital they proposed to make out
of this years agitation? We have no faith that
they will. We believe even that some of the re-
puDllCa1lS are nOHebt Ill tueIr opDOSltOn 10 lIt-
comptonthat they regard with real horror the
frauds that have, doubt, been committed in
the Territory; and although they would com
nit greater fraud twenty times told, by agitating
about Kansas, yet they are honest in the main. Will
they vote for Crittendens bill? That bill lays Le
compton down as basis Of action, and proposes
that the republicans shall build upon it enduring
superstructure. Will they do it? Who would have
thought month ago that the republicans would be
found voting for the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton constitution? But it may be asked why
are the democrats opposed to the Crttenden bill ?
We answer, simply because it offers high bid to
the jim Lanes of the country to keep the question
open for future use. Now we hold it to be clear
that Lane will not live politically year after the
storm subsidies so convinced the repnbli-
cans will die too within the briefest day after this
Kansas candle burns down to its brass socket and
we feel sure it Is nearly there.

THE SLAVE TRADE.

An officer of the United States ship vinennes writes to
the New York Herald under date of Monrova January
rs, and gives list of twentyene slave vessels nearly
all Americans captured by the English cruisers since
April, 1851 When the English vessels capture Amer
can shaver which they cannot search they threaten to
take them to the nearest American cruiser and give them
up Rather than do this the captain supercargo in
vites the English officer below and in the time
throws overheard their American papers and hoiss Eng
lish colos All this is BECAUSE if taken by American
cruiser the sent home and imprisoned whereas
the English cruiser only sczes the slaves and the vessel
carries them to of the British colonial ports and re-
ceves the prize money, not troubling themselves about
the crew, but permitting them to go at liberty.
The writer says at the date of the letter the French
had two large ships loading 1900 negroes in the Congo
river and protected by the French cruisers the
station.
