The Threateners and Deprecators Of DIS
union.

The game ofpressing measures through
Congress, is played by two classes of act
ors, operating by secret concert for the
same end. The performances are com
mcnccd by Southern gentlemen. who
threaten disunon, and followed up by
Northern gentlemen, who, protesting to
feel a good deal Of alarm themselves, do
their best to communicate it to others.
One Of these afsectedly timd persons, Mr..
Thomson, Of New Jcr>y, said the other
day, in the Senate:
"And, sir, if the Union should survive
the rejection Of X nsas, whtch | dopbt,
(fOr the united South would consider it a
declaration that hereafter no slave State
shall be admitted into the Union, who can
fail to see that war cannot be confined to
the locality Of Kansas! 1t will go into
bordering States. 1t will be sectional
war, and the knell Of the Union will then
be rugn. At present there is calm in
Kansas. For the sake oftt Union do not
disturb it; do not raise another storm,
which, in its fury, may sweep away not
only Kansas, but yourScires.
If, by possibility, Mr. Thomson is real
ly frightened, the best thing he can do is
to 90 home and stay there, beyond the
reach of this terrible storm. Wash.

No Change of the Kansas Constitution

Extracts from Mr.. Green's report in the Senate
"Thc Lecompton Convention has pro.
vidcd full, lawful, and perfect remedy
for every conceivable grievance, and
placed that remedy in the unrestricted
hands of the majority Of the people, by
inserting in the Constitution of Kansas
the following distinct and unequivocal
recognition of power, viz
'All political power is inherent in the
people, and all free Governments ere
founded on their authority, and Instituted
for their benefit, and therefore they have
at all times an inalienable and indeteasa-
bic right to alter, reform, or abolish their
form of government, in such manner as
they may think prop r.
The Abolitionists Of Kansas have thas
far sought power by meth ,ds unknown to
the law and by violence, and not through
the peaceful agency of the bl'ot- box

A Democrat, in the true acccptation
ot the term, we hold to be one who holds
to the principles of the democratic party,
as laid down by the fathers of the Repuh,.
lie, and as cxpounded and administered
by Jefferson, Jackson, Polk, Pierce, and
now by Mr.. Buchanan. Ia connection
with this pre- requisite there is one other,
without which, there is no Democratic
party. And as a party is necessary to
the malntalnance of Democratic principles
1t follows as consequence that those
who hold to those principles must be gov
erned and bound by the policy of tho
party, and should give in their adhesion
to those measures of Democratic admins

good of the country and the party

Our Florence Currency

V. a-e authorised to say, that on and
.f;er tJ-day, Mcssrs. Cook & Sargent
"ijl s>il exchange on the East at two per
vc"tr"i Oh Chicago at one halfp cent,
premium
Thus has come to pass what We pre-
dtcted weeks ago, that Florence money
would eventually y be mude gooa, and that
the holders of it might feel perfect conf
dence in this money. Its enemies, using
the Democrat as their organ, stignatized
this money as " worthless wild cat on
every occasion called it "wild cat" in
itself, generally signifying worthless ban
king material pre>uming to be currency;
declared boldly and repeatedly it never
would be redeemed; advised farmers not
to touch or handle the unccan thing, and
to influence their neighbors not to take it
or to sell their produce for it; and by the
the use of the basest means sought to des
troy all confidence in this currency and
to effect its destruction, knowing at the
time that if they secured their Object and
drove this currency from our midst, trou
bic and distress must take the place of
our deservedly boasted prosperity. In
tercstcd parties united with the Democrat
and more than likely bought uup to assist
them in dccrying florenc money, that
they might buy Il up at big shave, and
thus keep up the panic and the price of
exchange. We venture to say that thou
sands upon thousands have been sacrificed
by parties who were compelled to buy ex-
change, in consequence of tho course Of
Tho, Democrat and its interested aiiers and
abcttors.
Cook Il Sargent have sold ,lurng the
panic over haua mWioa OF exchange,
and at sacrifice to themselves of from
eight to ten thousand dollars. All through
the panic Mcssrs. Cook 4 Sargent sold ex
change at seven per cent, while for sixty
days 1t was selling at Chicago for 10 l.
per cent, and that too in the boosted Ill
tnoIs currency.
While this firm was thus at a heavy
sacrifice, doing their utmost to aid the
business men of this city, the Democrat
charged upon Messrs Cook Il Sarcentthat
they were making money out of the dis
tress OF these same men, and that their
profits on the sale of exchange, during
the panic, were over fifty thousand doll

way for the acquisition Of thorough ed
ucation, particularly adapted to the
science of agriculture, that we propose to
establish this college. We want the
young men SO trained and educated, that
1t will not be necessary for them to
forsake their chosen ayocation, to be-
come qualified to ocupy any station,
or hold any Office in the country. We
want them to be able to stand on this
floor, and in our national councils, ON
terms of equality with the best legal
men Of the times, and there be able with
equal talent, education ability and elo-
quence to urge our claims, advocate our
principles, aud defend our interests
These sir, are some of the reasons we
would urge for the establishment of this
institution.
l will say further, that this bill has
been carefully considered by the Com
mittees Of Agriculture of both branches
Of the Legislature, and after long discus
sion, and thorough investigation of all
plans proposed, and upon consultion
with many intelligent agriculturists, they
have selected this as the best plan for
laying the foundatian for an institution
which We believe is demanded by the
great agricultural interests of our State.
and | appeal to those who represent that
interest on this floor to insist upon the
passage of this bill. Legal gentlemen
may not be prepared for this project now,
and may refuse to vote the necessary ap-
Propriation--but tell you, gentlemen
the working, producing classes, are pre-
pared for it, and are looking anxiously
for this Legislature to lay the foundation
of an institution, of learning of
this kind, that will elevate labor, and
open to them the avenue of thorough
scientific education, particularly adapted
to their wants, and through which they
may acquire as perfect knowledge of
their chosen profession as the law stu
dent now can of his, in most of our col
leses in this country. 1t is not the far
mer alone that is to be benefited by this
instltution--but all laboring classes, the
mechanic, the day laborer, the inventor
and the manufacturer. are all provided
for, and are all equally interested with
the farmer in the success of this bill
And We call on all those who represent
the laboring, producing classes ON this
floor, to unite with us in support of this
institution, and if we are then defeated,
We can GO back to our constituents with
the knowledge that we have done our du-
ty, and that the responsibility will rest
where it belongs -Ioua Farmer.

The passage of Lecompton in the Sen
ate will no doubt be heralded as an Ad-
ministration triumph; but the truth is,
it is scarcely better than defeat. The
long delay of the measure after all the
boasting of the government organs that it
should be put through almost instanter,
backed as that boasting was by the brisk
working Of the government guillotine !;
the terribly scathing ordeal to which 1t
was subjected by the highest power and
eloquence of the Senate and of the coun-
try and, finally, the opposition of two
leading Southern mcn-Messrs. Critten
den and Bell--all these circumstances
combined must strip the meagre majori-
ty Of eight Of all the prestige Of victory.
In fact, one more such victory would
completely annihilate the Administration
and the party. The detection of two such
men as Messrs. Crittenden aud Bell on
purely Southern question, marks new
era in our national politics, They we're
not Democrats, to be sure, but they were
Southerners, than whom there are not in
the Senate ADLER or more eloquent defen-
ders of the constitutional rights of the
South, and their rebuke of the Admsnis-
trstion falls upon it with crushing force.
Upon any fair measure involving South
ern interests, uncontaminated with fraud
andillegal violence, they would inc citably
have gone with their section, and the
South would as usual have been unit
But they we're honorable, highminded
men, and scorned the idea of indorsing
the huge felony of Calhoun and his asso-
ciates. We accept their noble stand in
this instance as the augury Of broken
Slave Power and regenerated Senate at
no very distant day in the future,-Mt.

From the haysvillc *, Eagle,
To shareholders in the border States, 4,
the idea of disunion ought to be most re-
pugnant, because, as it is their property
that is to be endangered, the I'M Jury will
fall upon them more heavily than any
other class of men; and when they consii-
er that all the safeguards that Southern
confederacy may throw around the insti-
tuition of Slavery, cannot make that prop
erty secure from the depredatlons of en-.
emies who are encouraged to it by the
spirit of their own laws, they cannot fail
to discover that disunion is the worst
remedy that could be adopted to make
their rights perfectly secure.
The matter may be talked about and
encouraged by blinded zealots, and it ul-
timately may be brought about, but we
venture the conjecture, that if the Union
is dissolved, the individuals who will most
regret it, and most suffer from it, will be
the shareholders themselves.

The French Admiral writes:
"CAuton is at the mercy of the allied
