kay The N. ~ Herald, speaking Of the
fate Of the Land Ordinance in Kansas,
says that the South has been fairly beaten,
and only because squatter sovereignty was
too strong for her, and that she ought to
submit gracefully to the result We think
so too. Squatter sovereignty was not only
too strong for those who attempted to en-
graft slavery upon Kansas, but Pierce
lauded as a southern man--and Douglas,
the boasted champion of southern rights,
In the North, and other leading northern
ocofocos told the South, before the iniqui-
ty was matured, squatter sovereignty would
be too strong for the South. But the
Simon pure pro-slavery locofocos of the
slave States gave their northern allies the
lie, and boosted all over the South, that
the passage Of the Nebraska Kansas bill
would ensure the introduction of slavery
into the latter Territory. But the bubble
has bursted, and it is worthy of note that
every single Governor appointed by Pierce
and Buchanan advocated the northern
side of the question. This treason was
evidently not accidental and the instruc-
tons given to Walker, by Buchanan, were
intended to pacify the northern wing,
whilst his professions of friendship for
the South, were the tub to amuse the whale
until the harpoon had pierced his carcass
But we are told by the locofoco leaders
that the Kansas question is settled and
can never again disturb the country. The
Lecompton Constitution is defeated and
suppose the people of Kansas frame new
Constitution and ask admission, under it
at the next session of Congress-wha
thenP Shall we be told that the English
bill forbids any such application until the
population of the Territory reaches ninety
three thousand, and that the petition car
not be received? Perhaps so but at tina
point re-agitation of the slavery ques
ton must arise, and the free soil member
will argue-and argue correctly-that tn,
English bill is a mere enactment of Con
gress, and is, therefore, repealable like an,
other act of that body. And the result
will be, that that the South must submit
or renew the controversy which we are s,
confidently told has received final adjust
ment. The people of Kansas may not s,
petition, but we believe they will, and il
that event, it is folly to say that the subj
ject is quieted beyond the power of re
suscitation.

pag- Some Of the adrooatss of a Ca

p9- Some of the advocates of a Con-
vention to remodel the Constitution, par
ticuarly desire to place wholesome restric-
tons upon the banking system. We go
further than this, and claim that the State
has no right to charter bank, and not
having the right, should not exercise it.
The federal Court has given a decision
somewhat adverse to this opinion; but the
difference between bank notes and bills of
exchange, and the difference between the
power to charter State bank and the
power to incorporate banking company,
is just the difference twixt twedledum and
twedledee. Others, again, wish to prevent
the State from running in debt, by sub
hitting appropriation bills to a vote of the
people. We are opposed to that plan, and
would prevent the evil complained of by
combining the right of suffrage to those
who have the debts of the State to pay
The States didn't go in debt when pro-
perty qualification was imposed upon the
right of suffrage, and since that restriction
has been removed, everywhere, but in
South Carolina, extravaganza, and heavy
debts have been the order Of the day every
where but in South Carolina. We are for
getting back to first principles, and if we
can not travel in that direction, would
rather stand still than 60 forward in the
career of wild radcalism that distinguishes
the age and extinguishes every vestige of
wise conservatism. A man who has no
property, or home, has no right to tax the
property of others, and surely pauper,
from Europe, has no right to tax native
property holders and so long as the right
of suffrage remains as it is, it is idle to
talk about avoiding extravaganza by sub
hitting appropriation bills to popular vote
the non-tax payers hold the balance Of
power in every State.

s6s~ Our Kentucky exchanges ascrit

s6S~ Our Kentucky exchanges ascribe
the result of the late election to the apathy
of the American party. This may be so,
and there is a good reason for it. Every
day, the sentiment is becoming more and
more prevalent, among the honest and
patriotic, that it is useless to contend
against the corrupt mass that now rules
the country, and the loathing and disgust
engendered by this state Of things keeps
thousands from the polls, The sentiment
is correct, but the consequent action is
wrong. Every man who knows his duty,
should feel the responsibility of discharg-
ing it, and the more faithfully, as he the
more plainly sees the efforts of a corrupt
party, strengthened by the public treasury
and the absence of every patriotic impulse,
to make the government the prey of polti-
cal harpies. No man, with n heart in the
right place, can fail to be disguised with
the political condition of the country, and
no man of intelligence can fail to see that
ruin awaits the government under its
present party rulers; but it is the charac-
toristie of brave and true hearts to strug-
gle for the right until the wrong has so far
triumphed as to be irretrievable.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1858.
cor The London police is said to be

CUr The London police is said to be
the most efficient in the world, and London
papers say that the reason is that they hold
office during good behavior, and being
thus placed beyond the reach of political
influence, they can discharge their duty
without fear of giving ofFehse to pot-house
politicians. We make a note of this for
the benefit of those who desire to remodel
the Constitution of Tennessee. Man is
everywhere the same-moved by the same
influences, and whether his position be
high or low, self will sway his actions;
and if a dependence upon the popular
will for the tenure of Office be a condition
of the government under which he is an
officer, such dependence, acting upon SELF
disqualifes him, more or less, for faithful
discharge of his duties. And if the truth
of this be manifested in the efficiency of
the London police, it were idle to contend
that the cause would not produce the same
effect upon the judiciary of this, or any
other State. The vilest wretch who drifts
along the current of political existence
Yields power at the polls which the
selfish official will stoop to propitiate, and
as mere numbers-not intelligence and
integrity-must decide his fate as an ap-
plicant for office, he will shape his acts
and opinions to suit the mass, and without
caring straw whether, or not, such acts
and opinions are promotive of justice and
the common good of the community
The criminal of to-day may be the voter
of tomorrow the drunken rowdy, the
lousy loafer, the beer-house bully-all
may resent arrest and punishment, and as
the resentment Of such men falls upon the
official rather than upon the laws he ex
ecutes, connivance at crimes and mis-
demeanors is the price paid for continuance
in Office. The policy of popularizing the
government--of bringing it "near to the
people" has, in the case of the judiciary
made justice mockery, and fostered crime
and lmmorallty. Our courts OF justice
have lost their dignity and their terror; Grim,
in the rich, is screened from punishment
by bribery, whilst the poor and the friend
less become the victims of partial justice
and the boosted examples of an impartia
administration of the law. These evils
whose existence none will honestly deny
are the legitimate fruits of an electiv,
Judiciary system that makes Judges o
demagogues, and knaves of almost all VIII
aspire to positions under the judiciary sys
tenn, and if our Constitution is to be al
tered, let it be amended by placing thi
department of the government beyond tn
influence of popular caprice and ignoranc
and corruption.
