Dispatches were received here this morning from
Kansas to the effect that the Free-Sate men had
elected their ticket At least such the aspect OF
the vote as far as heard from. Everything quiet
in the Territory.
Considerable excitement prevails among initiated
politicians to the position of Governor Wise on the
Kansas question and the policy of the Administration
1t is believed there is a combined and deep political
Wise and Douglas movement against the President
WASHINGTOs, Jan. 10, 1853.
Tile LHion leader discusses the acquisition of Cen
tral America. 1t repudiates the means adopted by
Walker but evidently fayors the project by another
process. 1t says:
To acquire the privilege of constructing railways
canals and roads the IsthmHs to settle regions
of country trayeIsed by these routes with peaceful
tr8desmeu, farmers, mechanics, etc.. would seem the
only and ntalb!e mode e planting our institu
tons permanently in these regions. Vi however, we
must plaLt institutions in regions south of ia,
by the strong arm, let it be by open and honorable
hostility, conducted under the auspices and authority
of the GOV ernment. Nothing can be easier than to
find a cause of national quarrel with the Central
American States and the Spanish Government, ii We
about seeking it. If, contrary to our national
policy must needs extend Institutions south
ward by force, let it be done by honorable warfare,
and not by political foray.
The Southern mail as late as due has been received
from points this side OF Mobile.
The schooner seen bottom up the Florida coast
about month ago, is believed to have sailed from
Tampico tor New Orleans Her name is partially gone
from the wreck but "--ile Day" remains
body which has hOated ashore from her has the name
w. Palmer on the arm.
