Legislature of Kansas.

Gen. CALHOUN. has finally announced the
Of the election for members of State
Legislature. Why he did thi. just a; the
time he did can be understood by all who
are acquainted with the circumstances
He could not publish the vote when the re-
turns had all come in. or rathe. there "as
no time when it was too late 20 receive The
returns. CALHOUN, told DENVER that he
would continue to receive as many rs came
until Kansas should be admsted by Con-
gress. He goes TO Washington, 10 be near
his master, AMI yet delays the publication
on various trivial pretets: and in the end
publishes tie returns, showing who were
elected to the Legislature making il a Free
State, thereby hoping TO secure support for
the LecomptDn swindle. The reader will
observe that nothing is said in Erelation to
the State officers, and the question may well
be asked why noil We think we can an.

back all the returns Until Congress shcult
have admitted Kansas; but as prospect o
of this began to look dark, with evident re-
luctsnce CALHuUs, instructed by the ad
ninistration no doubt, issues certificates o
election to the members of the Legislature
and again lies back waiting the resu!; 0

denomination of Mr.. Buchanan.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond Sguh writes as follows:
Il notice that some Of the presses of the
country are Ca calculating The chances o. the
nexr Presidential campaign, and tina, the
Washington correspondent, with singular
prescience, are giving the points and exact
results ofthe distant controversy. Now, |
venture to assert that Mr.. Buchanan will be
the mkt President OF the United States.
the probability Of this event is spoken vi
here in high quarters of information. 1t is
true, ihat Mr.. Buchanan mentioned at the
time Vi his Inauguration that he would hot
be a Candidate Tor the high Office which he
now f Is; but in the alarming and dangerous
state Of lhe Republic. which threatens to
cultivate in the next Presidential crisis, il
is believed that Dir. Buchanan might y:eld
TO exalted motives of patriotism, and to the
united appeals of the constitutional Denuc-
racy in all parts Of the country, in rescuing
the Government from a vital danger, and in
accepting again at The hands OF the Demo.
cratic and patriotic party The high trust oi
the Executive OF the nation. This is no idle
conjecture; the assertion is founded on the
views Of distinguished meclbers o: Congress;
and it is sustained by natural probabilities
Mr. Buchanan may be said to be the only
Democratic leader aud statesman who cou 4

The Presidents conduct in pressing the
Lecompton Constitution upon Congress may
give him votes in the South, but it " i'll no,
be likely 10 give him the requisite strength
IN the North TO secure u new election.

Mr.. EDITOR: We had the pleasure a r.

Mr.. EDITOR: We had the pleasure a few
days since, Of witnessing the examination
of the schools at the close of the winter
term o. The school in District No. &; in This
(Kirkwocd) township. There has been q
great advancement made here in education,
during the last eight or ten years. The old
log schoUl-hOuse, in which those of other
years received their education, has been
taken away, and a beautiful and convenient
frame one has been erected in its stead. The
present generation of scholars here enjoy
great privileges in the way of 'ortable
school-houses, and good teachers, mat their
ancestors were deprived Of, and as a conse.
quence, they are making rapid progress in
the different branches tn 1t are being taught
in our public schools. But we intended IL
say something about the examination.
The readiness with which questions were
answered on the d,fferent branches of study
and the satisfactory manner in which exer.
Uses were performed on the blackboard, d d
credit TO both scholars and tea h rs. It was
certainly cUmmendable. and merits the az
probation OF all After the exercises ant
the examination were pas ed through, the
local directors and others, made some suit
able and appropriate remarks on the occa-
sion. And then CONES tine cakes and can
dies. which were provided BY the parents
and teacher, Tor the scholars. Indeed, sir.
Mr. Editor, it was C, rtIiniy a pleasant sight,
TO see a large table loaded with beautiful
cakes and candies, and more pleasant still
to see the smiling faces. and hear the chirD
ing voices OF those little scholars, while the
treat Was being passed around. We believe
the majority OF the house-holiers in the dis.
trict are well pleased WITH the manner il
which the school vas conducted and espec-
ia!ly with the closing scene. There art
some, however, who live in this age of prog.
ress, who belive it is wrong for parents 4
encourage the cause Of education, by spread
ing Il table OF guod things for their children
at the close of inc school Wonder if The
little matter of expense is not their g:eales
argument! II il were necessary, we woult
give some reasons here, for using all honor
able methods for the Encouragement Of
education, but we tn NIX the intelligent par
OF communil v, will see the necessity OF il
without any argument at the present. W
will say this, that in our opinion, one Of th,
great waits If our Country is mora di-cip
line for the youth, and unless our pubi;,
schools can give this, we doubt whether
with all the advance made, they can be sus
tanned. One of the great labors of legisla
ton now, is to provide PenitentiarieS. Luna
TIC Asylums, and other abudes OF misery
created by unresirained passions. This i
