How THE GAME WoRKs.-The agitating people of
Kansas are becoming divided very much, the pas
sengers of sinking ship may be supposed to be di-
vided, when the alarmis given by its maudlin Off
GERS and crew. The latter, it seems, have deter
mined to take possession of the craft the pumps,
and guide the helm. At recent election at Law
renee the conservative, governmental, voting party
triumphed over the radicals by signal majority.
:" If these things be done in the green tree what will
be done in the dry p The conservatives of Law

mean these signs from Kansas Is it possible that
the people there fail to in the republicans who
want to use them, their friends Above ALL can it

POLITICAL HAIR SPLITTING.

1t is amusing to witness tho efforts Of the anti Le-
compton democrats draws distinction between their
own and the position of their black republican allies
They are engaged in common purpose, to accom-
plish which they the same arguments and resort
to the same means They think together consult to-
gether and act together-the only difference being
that the ant-Lecompton democrats, like all other
deserters carry their opposition to their old party
step or two further than its ancient enemies In
all the opposition made to the President the Kan.
queston--in the attempt to cripple his admins
traon, and to prevent the of the democratic
party, claiming to be democrats are the recog-
nised leaders and champions. In the Senate we
have Mr.. Douglas, and in the House Mr. Harris of
Illinois. The former gives the cue, and Seward
and his followers play into his hand The latter
opens upon the trail, and Giddings, with his whole
abolition pack, yelp at his heels. In tho heat of
the chase it is impossible to tell the spotted from
the black hounds. They equally Jealous and
equally ferocous in their desire to run down the
democratic game Yet, amid all this cordiaty of
sentiment and action, it s evident that those who
have heretofore been democrats are ashamed of their
alliance They lose no occasion, and spare
Io choi liplcsb upon tuc CouHty tilCIe is
no unity Of sentiment between them and the black
republicans. One-third of Judge Douglass last
speech was devoted to this object and he and Gov
ernor Wise, and Mr.. Stanton, and Governor Walker,
and Mr.. Harris, have devoted large portion of
two or three letters each to the purpose. The
Philadelphia Press and the Louisville Democrat
have also attempted to draw the distinction.
In of ito after excuaes for noo
ton, the latter made quite adiscovory time ago.
which was, that the blackrepublicans are only
anti-Lecompton "by accident" We cannot agree
with the Democrat We will give even the devil his
due. The republicans stand just where they have
always stood--thcy are consistent for once. 1t is
Douglas Walker, Wise Stanton, Harris, the Press,
and the Democrat who have gone over to the repub-
hcans, and not the republicans to them. The dis
tincton which these political airspltters undertake
to draw between themselves and the blackrepub-
cans is distinction without difference. Their OBJ
ject is the same. They all laborng to defeat
leading democratic measure and break down sound
democratic administration The difference of mo-
tives, if there be difference amounts to nothing
We Judge men by what they do, not by what thew
say and, Judging Mr. Douglas and his friends by this
standard, we are compelled to class them with tho
sworn enemies of the democratic party, their pro
testaticn to the contrary notwithstanding

CALIFORNIA FOR LECOMPTON.

The legislature of California by decided vote,
has reque sed the delegates and instructed the
tors Congress from that State to vote for the i'm
mediate admission of Kansas under the Lecompton
constitution as recommended by the Presdent-in his
special message. The news will be gratifying to
the friends of the administration throughout the At
lantic States aud will, trust the passage
of the Senate bill in the House, beyond peradven-
ture by uniting the vote of the California delegation
in favor Of the BILL The effect of the Presidents
special message in California is said to have been
crushing to the opposition movement within the
democratic party
Thus has California again taken her position in the
column of the conservative States which have adj
dressed themselves to the task of settling the
slavery agitation upon the principles of law and
order of nonintervcntion, and of equal justice
to all sections. In every great crisis of the
country since the memorable Compromise of 1850,
when she became member of the Union, has this
lone State upon the Pacific sgnaized her attachment
TO the Union and the constitution by casting her
weight for the national and conservative cause. In
1854 she gave her unanimous support to the great
measure of Congress for the settlement of the vexed
question of free or slave soil In 1856 she cast her
vote along with Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, New
Jersey, and the South in favor of Buchanan and
Breckenridge And now she comes forward by her
Legislature and insructs her senators and represent
atves in Congress, to complete the scheme of policy
which she has supported from the first, by voting
for the prompt and final admission of Kansas, in
accordance with the special message of the Presi-
dent.
1t is universally discovered by citizens of our
country who travel abroad that they soon lose their
sectional preudices and bias in an absorbing devo-
ton to the Union, while in contact with foreigners
and removed from the chaing irritations Of our To-
cal quarres Such to be the case with our loyal
and patriotic young State the shore of the Pacific
The national cause, the constitutional cause, the
cause of peace and union, seems to be the one at
whose shrine she bows, and in whose favor she has
pledged her youthful vows. She obstinately refuses
to be sectional; she will not be wooed or decoyed
into the embraces of the sectional party. Wcreoice
exult, the action Of loyal patriotic national

The REPUBLICAN Party" What shadows we are
and what shadows we pursue - The republican
party so recently in the flush of manhood, with
"youth and beauty and blood and muscle, is now
threatened with prosration and death II was not
planetary star circled round by lesser orbs but it
was brilliant comet with very long TAIL which it
switched about in most careless and frghtfnl way
1t belonged to no system in particular, but was one
of those bodies which seemed to have been made up
of loose material thrown off from other systems, and
was destined either TO disappear altogether or be
scattered into fragments and distributed as dead
matter, they say in the printing Office. 1t viii be
curious commentary, if this nebuous mass Of
American politics should finally be broken up by
collision with little knot of know-nothings and be
absorbed by them. Yet such are the promises Just
now. There is no room in this country any more
for the republicans if Kansas ia taken away from
them There is certainly propriety in tho republi-
cans going over to the Americans because the lat

They therefore returned passing the iron steamer still

about thirty miles of Fort Yuma when the cssup struck
upon sunken rock, knocking hole in her bottom
just beneath the engine, and went down. where she
