The Vote on Kansas.

Taking the vote on Mr. Harris resolution as test,
we still adhere to the opinion that there can be obtained
majority in the House in favour of the admission OF
the new State with the Lecompton Convention Thus
An actual majority of the whole House as now stands
there being one or two vacancies, is III. Well, the
vote in opposition to Mr.. Harris resolution was Ill,
absent Bonham, of S. c. Caruthers of Missouri, Clark
of New York. GiImer, of n c. Leidy, of Pennsylvania,
and Reilly, of Pennsylvania six whose votes will be
given for Kansas Among those absent refusing to
vote we find two cassed as Americans, to wit Harris
of Maryland, and Matteson, of New York Without
change this is the only additional strength the opponents
Of Kansas can muster Taking the previous VOTE when
the resolution to refer the whole matter to the Commit
tee on Territories was defeated by one the showing is
more favourable.
But, although shall feel pleased by the settlement
of this question: we are forced to the conclusion that the
thing it out The battle has been fought and the VIC
tory w0n but not by the South Mr. Seward the cool
est and most arreachng our sectional enemies stated
this plainly enough in the Senate few day ago. The
power of scdclncc IN the Union is gone. The equill-
brum in both branches of the federal legislature has been
destroyed never to be restored We have struggled for
recognition Of Constitutional rights and say what
we may we have obtained that recognition so far as the
mere law of the matter goes We have established our
rights our enemies have secured their poreS Instead
of an equal and balancing half the South has sunk to
the numerical position, not of DIVISION but of sub
division. In truth, this is northern government,
because the North, having the power, at any time
make it So There are now numbers of gallant men at
the North who say to representatives i'll Congress,
stand up to your rights and will stand up to you.
But these that Marked spotted, denounced
by name, hunted down by Black Republicans and Know
Nothings at the North and STILL byrenegade Dem
ocrats North and South. The time is coming-certanly
coming the party that stands up for the equality
and constitutional rights Of the South must 60 into
minority, permanent minority AS Democrats we may
feel this the senstvey because the only friends the
South can look for from the North Democrats but
leaving aside party considerations and looking at the
matter in its broadest aspect cannot fail to recognise
the truth Of what we have already asserted that the
ground upon which the South has heretofore stood IN
the Union is gone-Whether she will seek for that ground
selEprotection-om of it. question for herself to de-
cde and another decade cannot pass without that ques
ton being forced to decision.
