WHAT WILL THE SOUTH GAIN

II j. contcnded by Southern politicians. who wish
10 palliate their support of the Black Republican
side Of the issue, that the South will gain nothing by
the admission of Kansas with the LecOmptoa Con
stitution, The Louisville Courier disposes OF thi.
cyense as follows:
On the contrary, we do know that the South has
something TO gain by the admission of Kansas as she
now presents herself for admission into the Unioa.-
The South will gain dominion for slavery more oX-
tcnsivn than three such States as Kentucky She
will gain the triumph Of principle over faction She
will gain signal triumph over innaticism and in
justice She will gain the consciousness of seeing
her own principles conquer those who are forever
intermCddling with the institutions Of the South
without the slightest shadow of constitutional legal
or moral right. She viii vain the Just revenge Of
seeing the mad Abolition devils Of Kansas caught in
their own nsidous snare and defeated by their own
iniquity. She viii, in a word, gaia Eer own self
respect and the esteem Of all good men who have
looked upon the Kansas conflict and seen the mcan-
ness and ylany and scOundrplism and dishonesty Of
the Abolitonists visited with the retributoa that
they deserve. The mad and reckless devils would
never have refused to vote if they had had the sense
to have forcseen the result but would have imported
'oes through thei imlSraut aId societies enough to
have carried out all their hcndish designs The
South gains by their folly and their injustice and the
gain is just punishment for Abolition lawessncss
1t is not now for the South to determine how long
Kansas will remain slave State. The question now
is as to her admission MS a slave state. Let Us first
get her into the union a slave state, and we will
then talk of retaining her. The question Of retain
ing does not now come up "SunicienI unto the day
is the evil thereof" 1t will not be more difficult to
keep her as slave state If it is right to keep her
than ii will be to receive her as such. We are for
arguing each question upon its merits and keeping
the different issues distinct We repeat, that when
we get Kansas slave state, it will be time enough
to talk about so retaining her If it is right SO to
retain her. IL will be done and if it is wrong, it will
not be done

TIE SECTIONAL WAR. The editor ofthe Richmond
Examiner, calm and dtpassionatc observer, who
has recently been sojourning at Washington says
that the ilfceling between the sluychodng and
non slaveholding sections Of the Union. which has
been rapidly increasing Of late years is apparent in
the bearing towards each other of the members from
the various sections. The representatives Of the
several states says the editor. mo longer meet as
brethren Of the same household. or as members Of
the same firm, with one feeling. interest one des-
tiny. They meet rather as the representatives of
two hostile nations The one seeking to invade the
rights and crush the power of the other. 1t is pro-
badly not going too far to assert that there was in
l175, as much sympathy between the people Of the
American colonies and the government Of The mother
country, as exists al this moment between the majo
rty Of the representatives Of the two grand sections
Of the Union. This assertion may be deemed by
some bold and reckless one. but every calm OBJ
server Of passing events at Washington must admit
without hesitation that IL is a startling fact

Nm. SMITu:-Thinking our friends
in Old Randolph would like to hear
something of Nebraska, l will give an
outline of our travels in the Territory
We crossed the line between Kansas
and Nebraska about twelve miles from
the Missouri River, passed through
the Sawk's and Foxes Reserve, and
crossed the Great Nemaha River two
miles below the falls. After merging
from the timber and getting on the
raise of the prairie. we came TO the
thrifty village. Falls City, whore we
found lodging for the night. The city
is on beautiful site. high and dry.
and is not annoyed with the inconve-
nicnces OF timber and water, which are
80 deleterious to the prosperity and
rapid growth of towns. We were in
formed by citizen of the town that
the Nemaha was navigsble to that
point, and that the White Cloud ferry
boat intended touching there on her
way up on the fifth Of July. How far
above the falls the boat intends going,
our informant saith not
The next day we went up the Nema-
ha to Table Rock, in Pawnee County
Looked over the County few days,
and returned through the high prairies
between the Nemaha and Muddy Riv-
er, and arrived at Geneva, and called
at Mr.. Jos. Emhody's. very tired aud
hungry. We were soon seated at the
festal board. which groaned beneath
the weight of Nebraska dain.ies, well
prepared by New York Yankee lady
After conversing with our agreeable
host upon various topics, we gladly
accepted an invitation to recline ou'
weary limbs upon the couch prepared
for our accommodation.
