It is conceded fact, says the New York Eslgs
that all the difficulties, snimOsities and Vengeance
which has prevailed in Kansas, ever since The or
gaHization Of that Territory, has been stimulated
and kept at fever heat BY the Black Repubh-
can" leaders Of New York and Massachusetts, sup
ported BY their a5juneis mostly in the New England
States There never would have existed the least
difficulty in the preparation Of that Territory for
admission at the proper tine, as a State, had the
actual residents been left at their own option They
would have in due time settled upon their organic
law, such as they, freemen desired to live under
and been admitted among the sisterhood Of States,
upon terms equitable Just and democratic as eve
~ other State has uniformly BEEN
The excitement created outside Of that TERRITORY
was carried to the fresides Of the people within,
many Of whom honestly believed that President
Buchanan was trying to interfere with their domes
tic institutions, and to force slavery upon them,
HoIeas UOleHs. A civil war was thus created. many
valuable lives were saorihsed and the Administra.
tiOn was compelled to send military force to pro-
tect the persons and properly Of the inoFeusivs
people against the incursions Of the organized ban
dts, led to commit che most outrageous acis Of
plumber and slaughter Witnessed in any civilized
community. The only interference President Bueh-
snan was even guilty Of was in sending force to
protect the people from the desperadOes in their
very midst.
So long as the People of Kansas could be Kept in
state Of alarm, excitement and uncertainty, so
long the Black Republican" party aourished. In
1856 the fury Wss at great hight The rufEans both

But how stand matters now? Is there any more
bleeding" in Kansas, any strife in relation 10
slavery, or any further attempt to resist either the
Territorial laws or those Of Congress? We appre
bend thereis nothing Of the Kind exhibited now.
nor are the people apprebensive that the lamentable
scenes which they have been compelled BY Black
" Republicans to pass through, will ever occur
again They are now rising in the majesty of their
strength.
Now We arrive at the point at which we aimed in
the commencement Of this article. Mr.. Philip C.
Schuyler, " Republican politician, who has been
IN Kansas four years, and passed through the dis
graceful scenes which his party enacted there, and
for aught we know, was participatOr in many Of
them, writes to the New York Tribune that himself
as we'll as the people have become entirely Disguised
with things as they have been conducted He says,
I" from the moment the English bill made clear our
policy and our duty, Kansas BAD PEACE, for our
course was distinctly settled in our minds on the
day Of its passage, as it was the night of the day
ofeleeEion" How does this accord with TIE diatribes
Of the Tribune and Albany Journal, 50 constantly
hurled at the President on account Of his agreement
with the principles of the law which made clear the
"POlicy and duty " of the people of Kansasl
The letter Of Mr.. Schuyler is dated The 18th Of
October, and in due course Of mall must undoubtedly
have been received at the Tribune Office one or two
days previous to the New York State election Had
itseen the ghttWenty fOur hours previous
ton the ''anti LeconPtOn" humbug would have been
instantly killed, and the Democratic candidates on
the State ticket would have been elected BY thirty
thousand majority. But it was policy to suppress
the letter until two weeks after the election. OR
readers win be gratifed with perusal Of its con
tents. Mr.. Schuyler deserves the thanks Of the
whole country for enlghtenng the public as to the
actual state of shairs. Il is well that it appears
originally in Black Republican" paper; had any
other paper published it in the first instance the
Opposition prints would have unanimously pro-
nOunced it forgery, or at least mutiatiOn. Here
