A Question for Our Friends.

We have question 10 put to any of our
Democratic friends who may feel like TAX
ing sides against the Administration on the
Kansas question. We ask-Did you eUer
know Democroiic administration 10 go urong
on great question! We have often known
a great clatter TO be raised and kept up for a
t------,-.-----,---------r,- --r,---i---1---ai-i--i
the administration was right. There was a
Bank clatler in Jackson's time, Sub-Trea-
sury clatter in Van Buren's, a Tariff clatter
in Folks, and a Nebraska clatter in Pierce's.
Each of these cla.ters scared few timid
Democrats, but the sober second thought OF
the people set everything right in time. We
have Kansas clatter now, and some of our
friends are afraid Buchanan is not right
We repeat TO them the question--Did you
ever know a Democratic administration 10
be wrong-Vahey Spirit.

been made of these acts before justice of
the peace, the proper process was put into
the hands of the marshal TO arrest the offen-
ders. He proceeded To- their rendezvous
in Mr.. Spootswood's house, found it forifi-
ed, and as he approached it, fifty men arm.
ed with Sharpe's rifles and revolvers, came
forth from the house in military order, COM
manded by Montgomery, and demanded of
him an account OF bis business there. Hav-
ing informed them that he was the marshal,
and that he had come to arrest them, or
some of them, by virtue of legal process,
their reply was that they had received a
despatch from James H. Lane, that the
Legislature now IN session had repealed all
the laws of this Territory, and that they
were their own law makers and executors ;
therefore, they would not permit any arrests
to be made, and that he might leave.
Grinding their determination TO resist him,
and knowing that he, alone, could not with
stand the force opposed TO him, he left them
and returned to Fort Scott. Thus stands the
affair as far as heard from. Now, these men
openly profess TO be organized, and sent 10
Fort Scott and vicinity, by Gen. Lane. AS
they openly and boldly swear they will burn
Fort Scott, the citizens of that place are vir
tually besieged, and obliged 10 be on duty
day and night while in the country around,
the people, by families, are flying from
their homes, leaving their properly exposed

From The Washington States.
The Amin Bey Fraud.

A private lettertrom Conslantinope makes
sta ements respecting the United States of
licials near the Ottoman Porte, which de-
mand, and we doubt not will receive a
thorough investigation at the State Depart.
nent.
One charge is, that person who was
then, and still is saleried officer of this
government, was the agent of n "Amin
Bey Fraud" This disgraceful affair was
hushed up; but many will doubtless remem.
Der that an ordinary teacher of the Turkish
naval school was brought over byan attache
of the United States legation at Consanti-
nope, and palmed off on the United States
as the envoy of the Sultan. Mr.. Webster,
then Secretary of State, was duped into
asking $4,000 of Congress for the support
of The Supreme envoy while in This country;
and on this money the itinerant schoolmas-
ter and his Snowman made quite figure,
and were received with all the honors in
many of the leading cities.
Secretary Webster was not little morti-
fed at having yielded so easily to this i'm
position but, for some reason or other, he
overlooked the fault, and retained in office
the culprit who had devised and carried it
out at the expense of the country. Mr.
Marsh, our then Minister at Constaniinople,
lent his aid TO smooth over the affair with the
Sultan who, says our correspondent twas
surprised and incensed, not less at the i'm
pudence of Amin and his confederate, than
at the strange anxiety of the United States
minister TO stiae public explanations"
A call for documents and information on
the various cases in which it is alleged the
United States Minister at Constantinople
have refused or entirely neglected 10 pro.
tect our citizens, would probably reveal
some very curious sins of omission and COM
mission in that quarter. An official inquiry
into what the United States legation in Tur-
key had done--and not done--for the last
ten years, would, If Huely rendered, give us
the raciest comedy of diplomacy ever set
up by American types.

satisfactory one.
But the trade of the road will be largely
