Southern fre-eaters however, desire sectional
agitation and sectional reconstruction of par
ties, and if this If the ultimatum at which they
have been driving since the Inauguration of
Mr.. Buchanan, they have only to play false
upon this Lecompton constitution, and they will
very soon get all they want in the shape of
Northern sectional party. Let this Lecompton
constitution be defeated through the treachery
Of Southern men, and the South will hereafter
be considered too contemplate to be treated as
= balance of power by our Northern politicians
looking to the spoils and plumber of the Pre-
sidepcy.
We are confident that, with the union and &C
tive co operation Of Southern men, the Lecomp-
ton constitution can be carried through Con-
gress; and we believe that the said constitu-
tion adopted as legal settlement and
as concession to the South, in con-
sderat:on of the two new free States
Of Minnesota and Oregon, will give
peace to Kansas and peace to the country To
be sure all that the South will obtain will be
the point Of honor, or the mere abstraction of
slavery, for Kansas can never be practically
slave State but as this abstraction involves the
prestige of Southern consistency or the proof of
Southern pusillanimity, it cannot he abandoned
By the South without disgrace.
This is the exact state of the question. The
administration stands by the legally adopted
constitution Of Kansas, although it makes Kan
sas slave State with, perhaps. four-ifths of
her people opposed to slavery; but if these
anti-slavery people have permitted slavery to
be adopted by default, theirs is the
responsibility, for the President cannot go
behind the record. Nor is it the business
OF Congress to do so. The case is clear
the crisis is at hand, and we shall soon see what
Southern chivalry is made of. We say there
are symptoms of a base conspiracy between
Northern and Southern disorganizers to break
down the administration. Does such conspi-
racy exist? If So who are 10 it? Is Mr.. Doug
las, is Jefferson Davis, is Mr.. Hunter, or Mr.
Brown, or Mr.. Jones? Are personal disap-
rointments and petty spites concerning the
Cabinet at the bottom of these Southern defec.
tions? or is the game Of a Southern sectional
party to be played out? We have our doubts
but the day is close at hand when all doubts
all mysteries, all suspicious all treacheries and
all collisions or conspiracies upon this subject
viii be solved by the yeas and nays. And why
delay any longer? We await the call of the
roll.

LIEUTENANT BEAI.ES LATE ExPERIxuyrAs
EXPEDITION WITH THE CAMEIs.-The report
which we published the other day, from Lieut.
Beale to the Secretary of War; of his expert
mental expedition with the camels over the
desert plains of Western Texas, and the stiK
more inhospitable mountains and desert wastes
of New Mexico, should not escape the special
attention of Congress.
The highest anticipations of the adap,abili~
and utility of the camel to the great Asiatio
western half of this continent have been more
than realized. The camel is the very thing FOG
that vast Asiatic region, extending from the
frontiers of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas to
the Pacific Ocean. According to the testimony
of Lieutenant Beale we should say that the
success of his camel experiment discloses new
agent of inestimable value, and a new article
of inestimable wealth to the country in that
humble but admirable animal with whose ser
vices he is 80 delighted. For purposes Of army
transportation and emigration over such desert
solitudes as those traversed by Lieutenant
Beale, there is certainly nothing to compare
with the camel. We dare say, for example.
that had the army expedition to Utah beea
provided with five hundred camels, they would
have proved more valuable than ten thousand
mules and horses.
We believe that Mr.. Gliddon, for many years
American Consul in Egypt, and man OF
science and observation, was the first to agitate
at Washington the certain success of the camel
on the western section Of our continent. We
think it was mainly through the activity in the
matter of Mr. Jefferson Davis, of the Military
Committee Of the Senate, that the first sppro-
priation was passed in behalf of the camel ex-
pertinent; and now that its success is fixed
fact, we hope that liberal appropriation will
be made for the importation of large supply
of these animals. They would save, in very
| few years, millions of moneyin the single item
of army ansportation-they would be worth
| three times their cost in the overland trarspo-
tation of the mails, and in the business Of their
natural increase numerous thrifty little white
settlements all over those desoate regions indi-
Gated would soon spring up. In the construc
| ton of the Pacific Railroad thousand cameis
would be worth their weight in silver.
We hope, therefore, that, with the recon-
mendation of the Secretary Of War, Mr. Jeffer
son Davis, as soon as the Kansas question lie
| disposed of, will offer in the Senate an amend.
ment to the first appropriation bill, covering 81
appropriation sufficient for an importation Of
| five hundred or a thousand camels, and pro
viding for their distribution for active service
| on the great plains and deserts Of the Yves.
| from the Miesissippi valley tn the Pacific
They cannot only be made to pay expenses, bu'
to yield handsome profit to the government
and world of service to our overland emigra
ton movements, and in the work of the Pscifi
Railroad.
