with him in his desire to deprcciate it, and TO
be rid oft, felicitate myself on my humble re-
lation to it, for know that Heaven cannot
giant, nor man desire n more favorable occasion
to acquire fame, than he enjoyes who is engaged
inlaying the foundations of great empire; and
know, also, that while mankind have often del

bestowed honor on the memories of the found
es of Slavery.
have always believed, Mr.. President, that
this glorious Federal Constitution of ours is
adapted to the inevitable expansion Of the En-
pire, which have so feebly presented. It has
been perverted often by misconstruction, and it
has yet to be perverted many times and widely
hereafter; but it has inherent strength and Wig
OF that will cast off all the webs which the ever
changing interests of classes may weave around
it. fit fail US now, it will, however, not be our

Of youth, or of mankind, is to be encountered
Fbya constitution proved in that case to be in
adequate to the trial. / am sure that no patriot
who views the subject as do, could wish to
eVade or delay the trial. BY delays we could
only extend Slavery at the most throughout the
Atlantic regions of the Continent. The Pacific
slope is free and it always must and will be free.
The mountain barriers that separate us from
that portion of our Empire, are quite enough to
divide us too widely, possibly TO ALLEVIATE us
too soon. Let us only become all slavehOlding
States on this side of these barriers, while only
Free States are organized and perpetuated on
the other side, and then indeed there will come
division ofthe great American family into two
nations, equally ambitious for complete control
over the Continent, and conflict between Them
over which the world will mourn, as the great
est and last to be retrieved of all the cOanities
that have ever befaen the human race.

Correspondence of the Inteligeneerl
People Of Kansas AWaiting the Jdte Of the Le-
compton Constitution-T TIE Spring Egligrtl-
tion-7Hs Weather cut there
ST. MARYsv1LLE, K T., Feb. %, 1865.
YessrS Editors Since the opening of Kan
sas for settlement, it has been the most fruitful
source of news on this continent, if not on the
whole earth. But, strange 10 say, have no
news to give you at this time. The parties are
waiting with almost GREATNESS interest, the fate
of the Lecompton Constitution at Washington,
and death-like calm reigns throughout the
length and breadth of the Territory. Mean
while the restless, rafting pioneers are going
ahead in the true spirit of Western enterprise,
building up towns and making farms, knowing
that the destiny of Kansas is fixed fact, and
that the people will ultimately rule and regulate
their own affairs in their way, notwith-
standing the efforts of the Pro-Slavery interest
to rob them of their rights.
And now that the time is at Fhand for Spring
emigration to commence, if there are any who
desire to settle in this beautiful country, but
fear that the difficulties not settled, and stay
away least they should get into fight, let them
hold back no longer on that score-their fears
will all be removed on a more intimate acquain-
lance with the peace-loving citizens of Kansas.
The free State party desire peace for the sake of
peace, and the prO-Slavery, or National Demo-
cratic party are equally anxious to promote
peace because they find themselves in the mi
nority. The time has been, when the freedom
of speech was abridged in Kansas-when the
peaceful citizens were driven from their homes
because they Obeyed their conscience rather
than the slave power. But, thank God, that
day has passed by, and left men as free to their
opinions the breeze that sweeps across her
broad and fertile plains. PEORIA.
P. S.-We have had delightful winter, up
to the middle of February, the ground was not
covered with snow, anu the winter mild and
pleasant. Since that time there have been five
or six rather cold days, but at no time over two
inches of snow. p.

YIEUxTEMPs' viOlinistic execution of yankee
Doodle" has been often and well described. but
never better than by one 'Borax," droll No.
bilian. Give an ear to "Borax:"
SIT is difficult to conceive how this slender
melody could have been arrayed in such an am
pie garb of splendOr. Ingenuity must have
been exhausted in devising the variations per.
formed by this king of viOlinists. He PLAYED
it, low down, and then high up on the stiidg,
with all the parts at once-with the bow up
against the bridge-withOut any bow at all; he
played it backwards and forwards, and 1 believe
sideways and crossways-began at the end, and
left off at the beginning; began at the middle
and left off at both ends; then commenced at
both ends and finished in the middle; twanged
it like guitar, growled it like bass-yioT, "a
base violation of time, quoth my neigh6or,)
squeaked it like fife, warbled it like flute
and picked it out like banjo. 1t was Yankee
Doodle all the time, hOwever-sometimes soIus,
like boy whistling; anon as duet like pair
OF harmonious cats; then again with ali the
variations" all of which displayed and set
OFF the original air, as q mu titudinous array of
jewels adorns and enhances the beauty of the
fair wearer."

Letter to Hon. sherrnrd CIenlens.
Iron the wheeling Argus Of Friday.l
MoUNDsvLLE, Va, March 4,

MoUNDsvMLE, Va, March 4, SO.
Hon. SherrGr6 CiemeRS-Dear Sir: As our
town is flooded with letters from you concern
ing the post office, and your course not being
satisfactory, will try, in one letter, to answer
all that L have any knowledge Of First, then,
your answers to the several applicants for the
post Office. You tell them all that their appli-
cations came too late;' that "the appointment
had been made before their applications came
to hand" Now, sir, this looks very strange
for MIR. SIS application went on in the same
package loiM the others. How did it happen
that you did not get them all together? The
people cannot understand this But as you say
that lit was necessary the appointment should
be made AZ soon as possible" you may have
opened MT. SIS first, and could not, In such
an important matter, tcGit to look at the rest,
and accordingly yOu acted Immediately. But
again tue people (pardon their duness) cannot
SEQ, fit was so cary important 90 act soon, tchy
the commission can be delayed 50 long. Why
not sand it on iDlnaediGtely? And again you
say that Mr.. s. was recommended by letters and
lpetitions from persons of both parties. Now we
all know that one Democrat and one Know
Nothing wrote to you; and still further, we
know about what was said by one of the writers
ut least. He told you to make the appointment
Immediately, SO that the petitions need not get
there to confuse you. And you did make it.
But the petition won't do. Mr.. s. did not send
it on until Friday, and Frilay the appointment
tcas H'G9e. But, Sir, while the people are not
satisfied with your course, must, on the other
hand, state that your answers to ''the letters
from men Of 6Oth parties" are very satisfactory
Yes, you aud they both chuekle over the way
you worked it. They have the satisfaction Of
Enon0ing that they duped you; you of thinking
you duped the people. You need not try to
hide your ears, for we know you by your voice.
But, in conclusion, let me say, that l have no
fault to find with Mr.. s.. His course was
honorable and open; but one thing will say,
that is, that he would raise himself higher in the
estimation of the people, if he would give the
Office to the man who promised to give all the
proceeds, except the expenses of the office, to
the widow of our late Post Master, Mr.. Myers
Yours respectfully, A CIrIzRS
