More Treason against the President

Our readers will not fail to read the ad-
dress OF Hon. GEORGE BANCROFT, the emf
nent historian and Democrat, relating to
the admission Of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. They will see that he
has placed himself in the ranks OF those
whom the official organ Of the National Adj
ministration denounces a. traitors 10 the
Democratic party. 1t must begin to arrest
the attention OF even careless observers that
the NUMBER Of eminent men who are thus
voluntarily placing themselves under the ban
Of the administration journals, on this ques-
ton is becoming alarmingly large. There
is q great and growing danger that the bulk
OF the talent and virtue. az well as the num-
erical body Of the National Democracy, will
join such men az DoUGLAs. WISE, WALKER,
SruARr. STANTON, and BANCROFT, in their
position against IAcompton, even though
such action should convict them Of treason
against the President.
Tins matter Of reading men out Of the
party by reason of difference of sentiment
on this Kansas question, is becoming rather
ludicroas than otherwise. The citation of
the names Of BUR and VAN BrRES, as q
bug-bear to'frighten the timid, is made now.
a-days only by such small statesmen as
FrcH, Of Indiana. and such small journals,
az the Star, ofWashington. And even then
II excites interest only as it tends to suggest
the reverse Of the proposition, az to those
Presidents who have been themselves read
out Of political parties, for oversteppsng the
PARTY creed, and insisting that the party
should follow, even against the convictions OF
its masses. One of these days, when -one Of
ficious Administration regulator shall point
some audacious Democratic free thinker 10
BrRR and y.x BrREx as beacons OF wsrn-
ing against mourning the wrath Of the
masses Of the party for violating I's usages,
this audacious Democrat may, IN his impo-
dence, retor,, by citing tie case OF Jons
Tyler, as showing the danger Of a President
when he attempts to abrogate the principles
OF his party, and to set up in their stead hi
own doctrines. and make acquiescence there
in a test Of party orthodoxy. The impa-
dence OF sudacioas, free thinking, and FREE
acting Democrats, may yet reach even the
point above suggested.

The Discussion on the S1.OOo.OOW Loan
Bill.

We have not participated in the discus
sions which have been had in the journals
with reference to the proposed loan of the
credit Of the State to Railroad companies.
further than to state our convictions Of the
propriety Of the measure in case the State
could be made perfectly secure. We do not
intend to enter the ring of disputants now,
for the reason, that, until the bill is perfected
by the Legislature, no basis exists for argu-
ment upon the only point which we deem Of
material consequence. We wish merely TO
notice the course which the discussion is
taking and to deprecate, at least, one Of its
features.
The Minnesoiidn, which seemed disposed
at first TO consider the measure upon its
intrinsic merits, and to confne itself to legit-
innate arguments, is now attempting to invest
it with political and personal character,
1t seeks to array against it one of the polit-
ical parties of the State, and whatever
prejudice now exists or may be created,
against some of our most worthy and promi'
nent citizens. The analysis of any vote
which has been taken in the Legislature on
the subject will satisfy any one that it will
be impossible to attach its support or oppo-
sition to either the Democratic or Republi.
can party. As nearly as we can judge
the two parties are abou, equally represented
among the advocates and opponents OF the
bill. II WILL therefore, prove impossible to
classify this loan project as Democratic
or as Republican measure. We think the
Mnnesot,an will find il still more difficult
to invest the measure with anything of a
personal character. The personal fortunes
or characteristics Of any man or set of men,
are considerations Of too trifing moment 10
be entertained an instant in the discussion
and settlement of this question.
If the loan project comes before the PEG
pie, they will look upon it from n sensible
stand.point--as grand financial scheme,
which will result in great advantages or
losses TO themselves. Ii will be viewed
solely in business light, and the Talk Of
Democracy or Republicanism, or OF this
mans standing, or of that mans qualities,
will not weigh feather in the balance
Men will call into requsiton their slates
and pencils, and will figure the proposition
out in all its bearings and the voting will
be done in accordance with the cypb~ing
Political censorship or personal abuse can
not affect the decision Of the question, be
cause neither have any legitimate connection
with it, And it will be better for the stat'
If neither is induigcd in by the advocates o
opponents Of the loan.

We have heretofore stated it as the design
Of our Representatives elect TO the House,
to settle among themselves the question
which two should remain, ard which one

ceivcd yesterday, gives the issue as follows

PHELPS, and BECKER, have drawn at lottery, for

stead, this Sa0,000 city investment does
not realize the owner any money, but merely
gives him home which he might obtain by
renting for les than the taxes which he
would have to pay upon his high-priccd
home.
The members Of the House who are ia
vorablc to the principle, that the homestead,
however humble, or however magnificent |,
may b., shall be sacred from the clutches Of
the law, abandoned their high ground, when
they voted for the additional exemption, Of
the whole OF the farmers stock. They de-
graded the pr,nopis upon which homestead
exemption is base, by asociatng with it
provisions entirely foreign and which
amount In fact to an exemption Of every.
thing that farmer can produce. As well
might there be provision inserted that the
stock in trade Of all storekeepcrs, and Of all
manufacturers should be exempt.
We hope the friends Of this hill, the men
who advocate the exemption Of homestead
bseause II Is homestead, will strike ont this
obnoxious clause, II is an unjust provision
TO all other classes of the community, and
the farmers with the liberal provisions of the
original BILL have no reason to complain. M
il allows them larger amount Of personal
property than can be held by any other class
