After the Grow and Keitt affair, Mr..
Crawford of Georgia said he hoped the
House would never meet again. But
the House did meet, and Crawford was
in his seat. Why didn't he set an ex-
ample in keeping with the expression of
his hope?
A Lecomptonite in Pennsylvania fell
out of third-story window the other
day directly on the top of his head. He
suffered no perceptible injury.
The New York Herald, commenting
on the Presidents Kansas Message, says,
with as much sincerity as it ever says
anything, "there is something truly
magnificent in the earnestness with
which Mr.. Buchanan undertakes the
task before him, and the style in which
he achieves it is positively sublime" :"
The editor of the Herald is developing
a new element of his character He
has long been known as one of the most
unprincipled men in the world, aud he
seems determined to make himself one
of the most ridiculous. Not content
with being despised he has evidently re-
solved to be laughed at.
Judging from the sentence we have
just qoted and several other recent at
tempts in this way, we have no doubt
that Bennett will easily succeed in max
irg himself as perfect an object of ridi-
cule as he is of scorn. He is, by COM
mon consent, a scoundrel of the first
water, and we have no objection to his
becoming a butt of the same order.
The Administration was on Douglas
has CONNIE need in Illinois and Indiana
in the form of refusing to give the Doug
lasite editors Federal advertising.-Cin.
Com.
1t has commenced in every other
State, where there IS Douglas editor,
in the same way-and not only in refus-
ing to give Federal advertising to Doug
las editors but in refusing to give any
kind of Federal patronage to Douglas
men of any class. Douglas and his fol-
lowers have not yet ventured upon the
policy of giving the Administration blow
for blow, but they compress their lips
pretty sternly, and the muscles of their
arms seem at times to swell and writhe
in almost frightful manner. There is
no knowing what sights may be in store
for our waiting and anxious eyes.
Douglas THE South.-The Louisiana
MO Herald, a Democratic paper, paws
Senator Douglas the following handsome
compliment:
Senator Douglas has left your party
is tauntingly thrown in our face every
day. No such thing, sir. That distin-
guished lllinoisan to-day is as good a
Democrat as he ever was, and we would
sooner trust him-although Northern
man-with the institutions of the South
than any of those who attempt 10 taunt
us with desertion:
This is equally creditable to the sa-
gacity and manliness of the Herald. 1t
is only one of thousand indications
that the eight is breaking Oh the
Southern Democracy.
Had the whole Lecompton constitution
been submitted to the people, the adhe,
rents of this the Topeka organization
would doubtless have voted against it,
because, if successful, they would thus
have removed the obstacle out of the
way of their own revolutionary constitu-
tion.-President's Message.
Well, what if they had voted against
it Wouldn't it have been entirely Just
and proper? Wouldn't they have had
perfect right to do itl Things have
certainly come to beautiful pass, when
President elected on account of his
especial devotion to popular sovereign
ty, cites the evident determination of
the people to vote in a certain way as
illustrating the improperly and absurdi-
ty OF allowing them to vote at all
1t would have been an awful crime.
to be sure, if the opponents Of the Le-
compton constitution had voted against
it, i'll the event of its having been sub
mitted to the people. The pith of the
PRESIDENT argument on this point IS
that the Leeompton constitution was
rlghtfully withheld from the people of
Kansas, because they would have voted
1t down If 1t had been submitted to them.
If MIR. Buchanan possessed particle of
honor or manliness his face would be
lost in sea Of bushes whenever he re-
called this contemplate fummery.
1t has been solemnly adiudged by the
highest judicial tribunal that slavery
exists in Kansas by virtue of the consti-
tuition of the United States. Kansas is,
therefore, at this moment, as much
slave State as Georgia or South Carroll
na.-President's Message.
Our own opinion is that Kansas at
present isn't Estate" of any sort
A Concenient sort Of Man.-During
the last Gubernatorial canvass, Mr. We'll
