people. What nonsense! The official record
convicts HIM. The bill he reported back to the
Senate omits this portion of the clause and it is
amatter of not the slightest consequence whether
Mr.. Douglas agreed to do this at the precise
time the meeting was held at his house or after
wards He cannot deny that he was the author
of the bill recognizing the complete sovereignty
of the Convention, and that in this shape it
passed the Senate.
The broad, clear and constitutional ground
taken by Dir. Buchanan on this question, sus-
tanned as it is by the official action of
the Senate last Congress, and at that time ini-
tiated by Mr.. Douglas himself, must triumph.
It appeals to the common sense of the people of
the country and affords the only practical So
luton of the difficulty. The Convention, repre-.
senting the sovereignty of the people of Kansas
lin the only mode known to our representative
institutions, saw fit to submit the question of
slavery to the people, and the official proceed
ings of the Convention and the people of Kan
sss are now presented to Congress. The only
questions for Congress to consider are-First
are the documents presented an official record
of the proceedings of the Convention and peo-
pie; and, secondly, is, the constitution republi-
can in form. To extend these inquiries into an
ANALYSIS of the views of each individual in Kan
sas. apart from the official returns would be
Congressional Intervention of the worst charac-
ter, and which could lead to no result beyond a
continued agitation of the subject for the benefit
of political demagogues. No man seri-
ously pretends that any injury will be done to
Kansas by its immediate admission into the
Union Once admitted, the people of the new
State are as free to change their constitution
and their laws as are the people of any other
State of the confederacy. What prevents the
existence of slavery in New York? Simply
because the people of the State do not desire it.
The people of this State could establish slavery
here at once if they saw fit; and what could
Congress do to prevent it? How absurd, there
fore, is all this prating about injustice to the
people of Kansas! Admit her into the Union,
take her out of her present state of indefinite
"pupilage," and she becomes free at once to
shape her laws and her constitution according
to the will of the majority of her people.
The miserable commonplace character of the
present Congress is apparent from the trashy
| speeches which have been made on this Kan
sas question. Niggers have, occupied the whole
| of the session, 80 far. Let the bill be passed
and there will perhaps then be an opportunity
| for legislating little for white men.

co operative labors of GOVernor Wise, Ex-Go-
vernon Walker and Colonel Forney seem to be
methodicslly directed
The Cincinnati Convention of 1856 treated
Mr.. Douglas as cavalierly as did the Convention
of ~ deal with Van Buren,. The latter, as
Northern doughface, had done all that was
asked by Southern men on the niger question:
but his crushing defeat in 1910 was superior to
all other considerations. 1t was selfevident
that if nominated again, he would be defeated
again, and so he was coolly set aside. So with
Mr. Douglas. The Northern groundswell of
l854-'5 against his Kansas Nebraska bill, rem
dered it clear as the sun that neither Douglas
nor Pierce could touch bottom in the North in
the Presidential election of 1856; so they were
both set aside, and an available old regular was
taken up, who, besides being sound as a ma.
tionl man, could prove the most satisfactory
abb in reference to that Kansas Nebraska bill.
The task before Mr. Douglas, therefore, is the
revenge of Van Buren,, and his provocations and
his programme are of the same pattern.
But there are yet two years intervening to the
campaign of 1861 and in these latter days there
is no telling the political changes and re-
volutions that may be crowded within the
margin of two years. The political powers
and principles of this country and
of Europe may all undergo the
most momentous charges within this margin
of two years. Within few months Kansas will
be removed into the background, and the i'm
portant contingencies fOreshadowed in the pre-
sent relations of Mexico, Spain, England and
France toward each other, and towards our
selves, may soon be made to engross the atten-
ton of all parties, sections and factions In view
of our present relations with Spain and Mexico
and considering the present suggestive crisis in
| the subsisting alliance between England and
France it is possible that, upon the basis of the
| Ostend manifesto, and yet within the limits Of
international good faith, quite possible that Mr.
Buchanan may initiate foreign policy upon
the heels of this Kansas agitation, which will
override all other questions and issues before the
| country, North and South.
While therefore, the Kansas imbroglio may
afford just now some plausible grounds for this
project of an Independent balance ofpower par
| ty on the part of Mr.. Douglas, we must not for
| get that in the interval to 1860 parties and
party issues may undergo complete revolution
and reconstruction, and that the power to effec
this change is still in the hands of the admins
tration. We live in an age of quick and grea
events, and we know not today what the NOR
row may bring forth. The epoch of our party
Bourbons, ruling upon old platforms and by di
vine right, is forever gone, and our ruling mel
and parties rise from the ruling events and is
sues of the day.

moment exposed to violent termination Pru-
dent people abroad are making their cslcula-
tions on the proximity of this event, and we
are likely to benefit largely by their apprehen-
sions- Whilst the political horizon in Europe
is dsrkered with oonspirscies, assassinstions
and presages of war and revolution, our own
prospects, political as well as financial, are i'm
proving rapidly. Our policy in Central aud
South America and Cuba viii receive its legiti-
mate development undisturbed by the inter
ference of the European Powers, who will have
enough to do 10 attend to their own affairs
whilst the influx Of foreign capital which po-
litical panic abroad will bring us, will do more
10 advance our internal progress than half q
century of our own unaided efforts.
