Red Republicallisln.

If there Is anything against which we
would utter our unqualified protest, it is
against making our Republic the theater
for such demonstrations as were lately wit
messed in New York. As members Of free
government, we would be very far from
prescribing opinion in any way, or even
directing the manner in which that opinion
should be expressed, so long as it is not an
open violation Of the laws and practices of
our government, or direct outrage upon
rights and feelings of our people. Blu.
when our household gods are invaded, and
each sacred relict torn from its resting
place, and handled by unholy hands. endu-
rance ceases to be virtue, and we are
ready to meet it with the denunciation it
deserves. 1t is something in this light
that we look upon the great Orsini and
Pierri demonstration in New York, a few
nights since; in which the liberties of a
great nation, and the municipal freedom of
a great metropolis, were used to eulogize
and glorify the name of a murderer-and
the meancst Of murderers, too-the assas-
sinator. 1ac ga Nl1zs th

The Kansas Bill.

OPINION OF Ex-GovERNoR WALKER.
Washington. Tuesday, Apr. 81, 1858.
DEAR SIRs:-Your letter of this date
has just been received, and hasten to say
thai, in my Judgment, the conference bill
should be adopted. expressed the opin-
ion on first reading of the bill on Saturday
last, and must adhere to it, although ii the
bill! had been, as falsely represented, sub
mission Of the ordinance only, should
have sternly opposed it. This bill as IN
terpreted By me, is in precise conformity
with my views and course not only in Kan
sas, but since my return, and, in following
the path where duty and conscience babe
me, | must support it. must be permit
ted, however, TO do this in such way as
will cast no censure on valued friends, who
honestly oppose the bill, because their
construction of it differs from my own
Whilst this bill maintained my views as to
popular Sovereignty, it would, if adopted,
save the Union from infinite peril. If the,
bill passes, the odious Lecompton Consti-
tuition, born in fraud, and baptised in for
gerry and perjury, will be defeated by an
overwhelming vote of the people of Kan
sas. thus demonstrating by practical re-
suits the truth of nv Interpretation, that
this bill does in fact submit the Constitution
to the popular suffrage for ratification or
rejection, which is all have ever requir-
ed. With such bill, and such a decision
of that people, under it, no formidable ef-
fort will again be made to withhold from
the De0Dle of inchoate Stat S vote for or
against the ratification or rejection of their
Constitution, and the oligarchive doctrine
of couentional sovereignty will be abandon
ed. ]. write in great haste, and will in a
future period. embody ny views fully in a
letter for publication, as expressed in our
recent conversation.

Thirty Fifth Congress-First Session.
WASHINGTON, Nav 5.

WASHINGTON, May 5.
SENATE.--The morning hour was occu-
pied in the consideration of private bills
relating to California.
A joint resolution of which Mr.. Seward
was the author, giving three years full pay
of her deceased husband to the widow of
Captain Herndon, amounting to 81, 800
was taken up.
Messrs. Iverson of Georgia and Slidell
of Louisiana opposed it.
Mr.. Benjamin of Louisiana paid warm
tribute to the calm courage of Captain
Herndon, and hoped to God his case
would be precedent for American af-
fairs.
Mr.. Seward said that Mrs. Herndon
brought this matter to his notice and in
bringing it before the Senate he was inhu-
enced by the incident that the last that
was known of the gallant officer. was that
he sent by rescued passenger, his watch
to his wife, that being the estate he had left
her. The resolution passed, ayes SO, nays
%.
The following were the nays: Clay,
Green, Hunter, johnson of Tennessee,
johnson of Arkansas. King, Slidell and
Toombs. There were twenty-one absent
ees.
The bill for the repeal of the fishing
bounties was taken up. Hk
Mr. Hamlln of Maine beng slightly in
disposed, the subject was postponed un-
til tomorrow.
Mr.. Hunter called up the West Point
Academy appropriation bill.
Hale, of N. H., said the academy was
useless and nuisance, and that better
general could be got CIT Of a New Hamp-
shire lawyer, Franklin Pierce for instance,
who so far oustripped the West Pointers

Although the House by II majority or
dered the resolution proposing the abroga-
rion of The Clayton Bulwer treaty to be Ell
crossed fora third reading the vote for set
ting 1t aside by 10 majority, to take up the
Minnesota bill is regarded as decided ex
preston against the former mersure.
This motion was made by Mr. Sickles, a
member of the Committee on Foreign AT
fairs, who is against the resolution which
is now on the Speakers table. difficult to
reach, and may be regarded as killed by in
direction.
The resolution it is said was reported
without consultation with the Peresident,
and has no precedent siuce 1878, when the
United States abrogated the treaty with
France. ~
Tho Administration is against the res
olution at this time, because it would en-
barrass negotiations now pending for the
ettlement Of the differences between the
U. s. and Great Brain, and force upon the
President an aggressive policy unfavorable
to the peace of the two countries and disas-
trous to the settlement of the Central Amer
lean question. rN
The House Committee on Elections were
engaged on the Ohio contested election
case. Messrs. Lamar, Stevens, Phillips
and Boyce voted that Mr.. Vallandingham
was entitled to the seat, and Washburn of
Wis, voted in favor Of Mr.. Campbell re-
tanning his seat. Mr.. Harris, of ILL.,, voted
to vacate the seat and refer the question
back to the people. Those reports will ac-
cordingly be made on Thursday.
BY general consent thevote on the Senate
bill for The admission of Minnesota will be
taken on Saturday. sals
The City of Louisville is to be the next
place of meeting. The Convention adjourn
ed sine die. They all proceed to Mt.
Vernon tomorrow.
The pestponement of the vote OH the
Minnesota bill was the result of the sug-
gestions of H. w. Davis, looking toward a
general concentration of the opposition
against the Administration. A caucus is
talked of to effect union of the Republic
ans and Americans on the subject. eD

On motion of Mr. Douglas the bill for
the admission of Oregon, was read.
Mr.. Mason, of Va, was ignorant that
Oregon possessed sufficient population or
can afford to pay the charges of State
government.
Mr.. Douglas said the vote on the con-
stitution was 1000 which indicates SIS, 600
of a population, although it was probably
more and doubtless 10000 more than the
number with which we admitted Kansas.
Mr.. Seward, Did l understand the
Senator to say that we have admitted
Kansas?
Mr.. Douglas.--I viii answer the Sena-
tor very unequivocaly, so far as this Con-
gross is concerned We have admitted Kan
sas if she desires to come in under the bill
then our action is final and conclusive. If
she does not desire. then we have not

but made no reply.
Mr.. Quinn said few words in favor of
Oregon as a law-abiding and respectable
territory.
Mr.. Seward said the Oregon constitution
has clause excluding from the territory
persons of African descent, although fee.
Great as his objections were to voting for
the admission of State with eny such pro.
visions. yet Oregon is an old settlement,
inhabited by an Industrious and respecta-
bic population, and it is not good to detain
colonies or territories in a condition of pu-
pillage longer than necessary. There are
States whose admission he would not vote
for with million of inhabitants, and 9TH
ers he would vote for with fifty mill
ion. He would vote to admit Oregon.
Mr.. Benjamin, of La. would admit Ore
gon. but in future would demand that a
census be taken before the admission of
State.
Mr. Fesenden of Maine, objected 10 the
admission, for the reason thai negroes are
citizens OF Maine equal witk whites, and
and the constitution Of Oregon denies their
entering into that State.
Mr.. Trumbull, of Illinois, vas opposed
to the admission for reasons which he sta
ted at some length, and moved that the
subject be postponed till December.
Mr.. Wade, of Ohio. drew attention to
the clause that classes Cinnamon with ne

prediction for the perpetrators of such
things. We know what dulce ct deeoruma

us it is ga sweet and honorable thing to
secretly murder a human being. with a
vague hope of beneftting our country
True. we might quote: ne
"Not that We love Ceaser less, but Rome more. -
But even in this case. we are under the
necessity, like Mark Antony, of keeping
ever before our mind that "Bruius is all

any other light than cold blooded, COW
ardy murderer
1t Is part of the pride of our govern
ment, that we offer an asylum and a home
to the oppressed of all nations, who may
seek it, and welcome them to an equality
with US; but we would be glad if they
would have little respect for our unculti-
waited tastes and feelings. and not celebrate
and advocate among US. by hideous or
gies, those things we deprecate. RepuJ-
tiqae Uni0erSeVe may look very we'll bla-
zoned on banner, or set in a Transparent
cy. but the scheme seems to lis quite as
visionary and utopian, as anything that
ever originated in the fancy of Thomas
Moore. We believe in Kings and Empe-
rors, to certain extent; because, from the
demonstrations of history, and all expert
ence,w are bound to believe in them. They
seem as necessary to the existence Of some
nations-and France among the mum ber--
as day government would be to ours. Bet

country should know another "Rei-n of

Assassins without number may spring
up in Paris, and murder their soyereigns
as fast as they are crowned, and, yet, the
condition of that unhappy country will not
be improved. For our part, we believe
Louis Napoleon is about as virtuouS as
most crowned heads. and if let alone, would
direct the affairs of State in as prosperous
a manner as they ever have been. There
is an old vein of genuine patriotism in that
Bonapartc family. that is the parent of a
great many virtues.
But this is neither here nor there; so
long as they keep their assassinations and
their assassination orgies on their own side
Of the Atlantic. we have Lothing to say;
but we do protest against our shores wit
Messing such demonstrations.
How are we to know where these things
are to end? Might not the next victim fall
in the White House, as well as in the Pal

Republic, as the Autocrat of an Empire?
Are. the Governors Chambers, or the
Judges Bench in the High Court of Jus

calamity be traced to the subtle poison in
the assassin's hand?
When committee is publicly appointed
among US to solicit subscriptions to defray
tic expenses and charges of an assassin,
who offers his services to go to Paris and

should begin to think of our own safety,
