p@-The most able of the opposition

paTThe most able of the opposition
press throughout the country wisely say
nothing about the victory, which is
claimed by the lesser lights Of the same
patlfes, over the Administration by the
action of the House Of Representatives
on the. Senate bill to admis Kansas into
the Union. They clearly see nothing
but the most decided approval ofa Dem
ocratic measure, by the adoption of the
House substitute for the Senate bill,
which provides for the admission OF
Kansas after she shall have framed n
constitution with or without slavery
The principle in both bills is the same;
therefore the Republicans and their al
lies have been whipped, and the Demo
cratic principle, the right of the people
to frame their domestic institutions in
their own way, fully and unequivica;ly
acknowledged.
After this exhibition, what becomes
Of the o~ft-rcpeated assertion of the Black
Republicans. "There shall be no moro
slave States?" They now unanimously
vote FOR the admission ola State, not
outstanding she may again decide in
favor of a constitution recognizing
slavery. Have they not clearly aband-
oned their platform, and jumped head
long upon a Democratic plank, thu &C.

fully carried through that just and pa
ci6c measure? Clearly, the admission
that the people of Kansas shall fra mt
constitution and dispose of the slavery
question as they see fits just the reverst
of the principle endorced by the oppo
sition in the campaign of 1856 The
adoption, then, of measure which re.
cognized the right of the people of the
Territory of Kansas to frame a Consti
tuition to suit themselves, is the adoption
of the Nebraska-Kansa bill, and a com
plete vindicatiou of the Democratic par
ty. 1t is rue the passage of the Senate
bill would have settled the excitemen
in Kansas and throughout the country
at once; whereas the Montgomery sub
stitue is intended to continue it until
the next Presidential election. Presi
dent Buchanan, in order to advance thu
interests Of Kansas, in order to main
tain law and order, recommended thu
immediate admission of Kansas; and i
his voice and patriotic suggestions hat
prevailed she would to-day be a Stat,
in the Union; but the constitutional anG
inherent right of the people to frame
their domestic institutions to suit them
selves is just as fully recognized in tht
Montgomery substitute as in the Senate
bill. Who then are the V ctors? Tht
Black Republicans with their declara
tons of "no more slave States" "nt
more slave territory" that ''Congres:

Not many weeks ago the opponents
of the Presidents Kansas policy were
circulating the report that the democracy
of California were almost unanimous in
their approval of the Douglas revolt
It was said that all the eminent demo-
Gratis, and democratic journals, of that
State were opposed to the Administra-
ton. The name of Gov. Weller was in
cluded in the list of sympathisers with
the boilers. We declared this last ru-
NOR to be false, at the time, under "the
common counts" without any other
warrant han our knowledge of the
man. We have since received a. letter
from Gov. w, in which he defines his
position in the most uneluivocal terms.
