The Senator commences with hard Ike
at the darling measure of the Administra-
ton, the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, which he
tells rs, contained two peculiarly objections

copstitstion itself-aveakened the whole
structure Of our government BY digging up,
for the purpose Of verifcation, its founds-
ton !; and, second, the repeal Of the Mis-
soui Compromise; adding, that ''this bill.
msgni6ed and exaggerated by orators rani
newspapers into great Southern victory,
led the South into the delusion that Kan
sas might be made S!kve State, and in
duoed i. to join in false and useless issue,
which has kept the whole country in tur.

life and vigor to the, abolition party =

Iu regard to the admission of Kansas q.
State, the Senator says he is in favor O
letting her into the Union when she has
the requisite population-but moi before.-
And then, as to the dream of Southern pol.
iticiaas and Southern statesmen, that it is
possible to maintain an equilibrium o.
power, in the Federal Government with
the Free States, Mr.. Hammond talks al
il be had for il but very little respect. He
thinks the possibility Of recovering the po'
litical power which the Slave States have
lost-both id the Senate and House Of Rep.
resentatives-is, to say the least Of ii, Gre.
mote while the notion of increasing the
population of the South, by the re-openine
Of the Slave Trade, he tells his friends
must be sbandoned-the Southern States
themselves being divided on that policy
and the Northern States unanimously op.
posed to it. ,aix aa ;59-{ .
The Senator next proceeds to show -tha,
there is, in fact, no available territory left
on this continent, frop, which new Slave
States could be advantageously carved
He is also opposed TO meddling with Cuba
which Mr.. Calhoun called "forbidden fruit
and from the matured opinions OF that
statesman, awhether on constitutional prin
eiples or Southern policy" Mr.. Hammond
thinks, .itiwill rarely be found safe to de
part" The acquisition ofthat island, h
thinks, would eventually weaken, moi
strengthen, the Slave States. In regard te
secession from the Union, be thinks . day
possibly may come when the South viii
have too look that contingency fun in the
face; butthat time is NOT YET. And ir
conclusion, the Senator counsels the culti
vation of friendly understanding with tn.
faithful alliesr which the South may still
count upon in the Free States.

ST. LOUIS, May 81 The Kansas CORES
pouuent of toe Democrat of this city, gives
many rumors and conflicting accounts of the
recent troubles In tue southern part OF the ter
ritory. Ii is stated that some two hundred
settlers have organized near Sugar Mound.
and a still larger number of Mssourians en-
camped short distance from them; 1t was
thought battle would ensue between the
parties.
Governor Denver has commissioned She
riff Samuel Walker to proceed to the sceue
OF disturbance, and report to him when ne
deems it proper that active measures shall
be taken to restore order.
The latest news from 0Ssawa tonne stated
that that place was threatened by three hun
drcd Missourlans, and messengers bad been
despatched 10 Lawrence for arms.
1t appears from correspondence emanating
from the headquarters Of the Kansas militia,
published in the Lawrence Republican, that
Captains Montgomery and Payne were de-
prived Of their commissions on the 18th OF
February.
A correspondent Of the ST. Louis Repub-
Iicau, wrtlng from Leayeworth city on the
~ b OF May, says that free State committee
OF safety, III Bourbon county X. L., passed a
series Of resolutions, ordering certain per-

1t is rumored that Crockett's party is now
beseiged at Fort Scott by party of free
State men, who are waiting relntOrcements,
in order to take the place by storm.

Our Foreign Relations.

/ oar foreign relations generally, are assun-
/ ing grave nportance, and we had almost .ald
a portentOus aspect. Congress have virtually
authorized the President TO declare war
against the republic of Paraguay, and as the
President asked for such power, il is fair TO
assume that he intends to exercise it,
What is remarkable, however, is tina, Con-
gress have given the President no additional
means for carrying out the threat implied 10
the resolution they have passed. One Of two
reasons only can be assigned for this-eitber
/ Congress think that our present navy is
abundant for protecting American vessels
from wrong in all seas, for cc-oI GRAFTON
with France and England in the bos
tile demonstration toward China, for the
iufiliment Of treaty stipulatious in the coast
Of Africa. aod for warike operations against
Paraguay into the bargain, or they design
that the President should, If need be, with.
draw ships Of war from any of the stations
or duties on which they are now engaged, to
operate against the recusant republic. We
think it possible that Congress has underrs-
ted the pluck and the resources of Paraguay.
Then our difficulties with New Granada
are Mt yet settled. The transport across
the lsthmus OF Panama may yet need prOteC
ton, aud both ships and troops may he
required for this. Then there is party
in Congress that seem determined that the
President shall initiate q protectora;e Of
Mexico, requiring Ut course a strong naval
force at Vera Cruz, as well as o standing
army in the various cities OF Mexico. 9th.
crs are plotting for the acquisition of Cuba,
which would make another and very heavy
draft upon both army and navy. What
else is to be done, without providing the
means for it, We know not But it seems to
he dictate OF common sense thas such feats
of national proves should cast before them
shadow of deeds as well as of words.--N.
