News from X ansas-EIcction OF Demo
cratic state Ticket Confirmed

cratic state TICKET confirmed.
Colin Clarkson, who is on his way To Wash
ington, in charge of the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, arrived here last evening from Kansas
Territory. This gentlemsn confirms the state
ment already published by US of the result of
the election for state officers and the Legisla-
ture, on the 4th. The Democratic majority in
the Legislature was two-one in each House.
Gen. Calhoun was at Wyandot last Satur-
day, and Judge Lecompte and Cato at Kan
sas City, on their way to Washington, when
Col Clarkson left the Territory, and would
probably arrive here tomorrow.
Gen, Lane was moving with his militia be
tween Lawrence and Leavenworth, professed-
ly for the purpose of preserving the peace of
the Territory, which, however, there seemed
no disposition in any quarter TO disturb.
There was question as to the election of
Representative to Congress; ii being believed
that by the rejection of some votes illegally
cast, that Carr, Democrat. would be declared
elected, instead of as before reported, PARROT
the Free State candidate.
We are now assured that Mr.. Stofer, whom
we have mentioned on two occasions previous
ly, is { Democratic member elect to the LIE
a.sssssiatnre from Wyandot. He was lying. at
last accounts, at that place, in "A hopeless con
ditien. The ball which shattered the lower
part of the sufferers face, also severed his
tongue, rendering speech impossible. He re-
tains his faculties, however, so far rs To be
enabled to write description of the assassin,
OF the horse he rode, and an account OF ali
the circumstances attending the attack The
name of the fellow was unknown to Mr.
Stofer but IL was thought the description
written by the latter would lead ultimately 10
his apprehension.

to your notice-in the month of October, a
person known to be confidential friend of
mine passed through the city of Washington.
He had an interview with a member of the
Cabinet, and that Cabinet officer informed him
that the President was opposed to the Nicara-
guam enterprise. But he suggested we should
turn our efforts elsewhere. And, said he if
you do, the means shall not be lacking to carry out
das enterprise. He suggested that We should
turn our energies into another quarter-that
we should enter into treaty with the Presi-
dent OF Mexico-that we should become her
allies, aud that haying entered into such alli-
ance We might manage to bring about a war
between Spain and Mexico. l ask yon if such
propositions as these coming as they do, direct
from Washington, are not sufficient to startle
you? Here, at the very time that they are
saluting us with all the epithets of our Ian
guage, when we are denounced as men, law
less and without shame, violating the acts of
the Congress of the Unites Stated at this
very moment they propose an act scoTn
eUesa TO think Of. They propose that we shall do
things to bring about a war between friendly
nations. And all this war between Mexico
and Spain is to be brought on for tctdt purpose !?
Here comes the point which touches you.
There is not one among you who does not look
towards the acquisition of Cuba with deep in
terest. But when Cuba is to be acquired by
the United States you want Cuba as 1t is-you
want Cuba with its social phases unimpaired.
You want that community of interest. which
shall bind her to the Southern States of this
cOnfederacy.
But here is plan by which Cuba is to be
seized under the auspices of Mexico. Mexico
is to take possession of the Island, and it is to
be in every respect conformed to the organic
| laws of that Republic. Cuba that moment be
comes free State. Not only does the Mexi-
! can Constitution and the Mexican Govern
ment disayow in the most explicit terms-re-
! pudiate, | should rather say-the whole inter-
est of slavery, but its last Constitution, under
| which ComOn1Ort was elected President, is still
more inimical to the interests of the South than
any other An article in this Constitution ex-
pressIy provides that no power of the Govern
ment shall have any authority to make treaties
for the exTadition of fugitive slaves from the
| United States.

GS- The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post says that there is feeling
there among all parties that the Administ a.
ton has probably drifted into a war with the
Mormons without due consideration, that our
motives for attacking them, the objects to be
gained by the war, have not been well weighed,
and that there is some talk of sending a com
mission to Utah to inquire into the condition
OF the public mind there, to see whether there
is not some way of settling with the people OF
the Territory without shooting them.

The LEvIATHAN.-The cost of launching
this mammoth steamship is now estimated at
S500,000 Some weeks ago a Mr.. Daniel
Russell who lately recovered the royal mail
steamer Tyne. after she had grounded on the
Coast of Dorsetshire, and the Golden Age,
which went ashore on her passage between
San francisco and Panama, offered TO launch
her for $4,000. Mr.. Brunei, the engineer pre-
frred his own grand and extra scientific plans.

ES- The mails from India containing de-
tails of the latest news from that part of the
world, put another face on the Geographically
reported defeat of the British brigade under
Gen. WINDHAM 1t appears that he was not
defeated. He was engaged in Il very severe
fight and lost many men, but was not beaten.
On the contrary. he remained master of the
field, and the forces opposed to him were IA few
days after the action nearly annihilated by
Colin Campbell, who fell in with them.

DEcHERp. Feb. l. 1853,

DECHERD, Feb L, 1893.
Editors Of the Pa1id SO Warren is out
again, and although he does not touch Sewan-
nee, he comes very near killing me-not by
his arguments by any means, but by the adj
vantage he took of me on the score of q old
women" So completely did he take me down
on that point that twas at first tempted to be-
lieve that he had called some old blue sticking
TO his assistance, and l was ready to take off
my hat and surrender at discretion but then
again | concluded that he was certainly too
generous to take such an advantage as that of
a poor telLo,o-naaa, and have determined to
give him another fight.
/ am rot surprised that he is tired Of a
newspaper controversy, but it is certainly very
strange that he should complain of epithets
after making use of the term imbecile in the
ened more earnestly to his mamma he would
not have belittled himself so much as to make
use of an expression that CRATES so harshly on
the hearts Of / have one retractiOn to
make-I told you in my former article that he
was Solomon but, when see that after call
around and says he is willing to hear him ex-
pound text, am constrained to conclude
that he is labOring under some kind of mental
alteration. But wish you to understand that
although | do not mar think him a Solomon,
yet think he has some land Of snlartness, which
is evinced by a desire not to prolong this dis
cussion, and also by the evident inclination he
manifests to practice the virtue of silence.
He has undergone one important change
since he favored the world with his first great
article. He then wrote in such grandilo-
-quent style that ordinary mortals would readi-
| ly imagine that there was some relation be-
tween him and Jupiter on Olympus ruling
| the Gods-he wrote so much like he were
some great Bishop Adoiser seated on BEN Lo-
MoND calling the bishops together to point on
their course of action. But in his late article
he seems to have forgotten his high mission,
and he terminates his article by saying that if,
'.They choose to avail themselves ofsuch (his y
knowledge very well, if not still very well. -
What falling off is there!
He says do not deny the existence of the
Milk-sick poison in the vicinity of Sewannee'
| do deny there having occurred single case
in that vicinity during my residence in it,
and persons whose acquaintance with the
country is of longer duration than mine, deny
the occurrence of a case for much longer
time, and Tie n0na-oppeTdnce Of the disease as hc
strongest passiJe proof that the poison does not eaist
But he has something to say about the sur
roundings of the Tunnel Let us hear what
others say:
This is to certify that | have been living
within one mile and half of the Jesse Pei
ham place for thirty-nine years, and | never
knew a COW to die with Milk-sickness, and
have never seen any skel tons Oh the margin
or branch of the spring near that place-giver

Sewannee in a cholera region-Bah! Mr..
warren"
My distinguished friend, Doctor WALLACE
EsruI, told me. this day, that no French gen.
tlemen, or other persons, ever came to him
with letters from Mr.. MORGAN, of Nashville,
ard consequently that he did not caution them
not To buy land without consulting him, &c.
| And furthermore, DR.. EsTuL is now pairing
an article for the press. which will forever 81

Sewannee, with standing army-said moth
| ing that looked that way,-but should such
an event take place, and should be so fortu-
nate as to be made its commander i'll chief az
have taken Warren" under my charge, and
wish him well, promise him, if he will pick
up little courage, 1 viii make him ser
| geant in said army.
1t is perhaps fortunate that the publishers
of newspapers and medical journals can live
despite such correspondents az Warren and
| the writer of this article-howevcr, that is
| their business-ROt ours
AS to my ability at prescription, Warren"
ought to be competent judge-tor finding
that he was QiiAg OH the 10th ult., took com
passion on him, and ON the 9th ult., l pre-
! scrbed for him a la French, which, in plain
English means that prescribed an emeto-ca-
| thartic for him. the result of which Was that
he was soon in the condition he says Sewan-
| nee is in-..in bad odor." And to day, | am
prescribing a diaphoretic for him, which will
make him sweat worse than one OF those cows
which he ran down to see if she had the milk
sick-aftcr which, hope he will convalesce;
but should he not then | advise him to take
as n tonic, the proceedings of the meeting OF
the citizens of Franklin county, in Winches-
ter, this day, which will enable him to bid de-
fance to milk-sickness, epidemics, and unap-
preciated communities.
And now Mr.. Warren" | am tired of easy
pietories, and shall pay no farther attention to
your articles-and u you are the man that
was trotting around here last fall, ON little
black horse, advise you TO take the little
black horse, and retire to pytrae he.
