WHAT is MEAT FOR ONE IL POISON FOR ANOTHER
The universal expression Of satisfaction amongst
democrats at tho ignomnions defeat Of the junior
Blair at ST. Louis, is in fair opposition 10 the rib
ulations and waiIings Of the negro press over tho
same result We infer from this that Blair is an ex-
celcnt specimen, representing precisely those quail
ties which are the most detesablc in the eyes Of the
democracy, and most acceptable and agreeable to
the opposition EIe formerly attached himself to tho
democratic party, and having won as much conf
dence therein as his treacherous nature would adj
nit performed the congonial exploit Of going over
to the aboitionists We have the charity to believe
that if he could DO made to feel that the democratic
organization was better adapted than any other 10
weaken the bonds of the federal Union, impair the
prosperity Of the American people, he would aban-
don his new allies and so over to them. At all
events now that the natural enemies of the const-
tuition quite unanimous against u.s. wo entertain
unbounded hopes of the triumph of our canse In all
parts Of the country. We trust that such course
viii be pursued towards all apostatos as to leave
them no room hereafter to question our fidelity to
principles and our appreciation of treason whatever
may be its DISCUSSES. g3
A party can exhibit no folly and weakness equal
to that which would cover up awrong inflicted upon
its integrity and character for the sake Of policy
Policy is the of all honest dealings when
it is made dictator principles by The operation
of which alone is any organization entitled to public
credit II was policy that restrained thousands Of
good temporizing men from opposing the system Of
protection which powerful class interests were in
n i ~ f. - -ys ~
mitted to the enactment of the Missouri Compromise
without the color of constitutional authority. 1t
policy that mado large northern constituency,
who knew better, yield to the Wilmot provso. 1t
is policy that stands in the way Of faithful dis
charge of public duties and it is policy that would
now bring together all the discordant elements Of
the opposition, in defiance Of principle to PROSTATE
tho democracy.

THE NEW LOAN. THE AWARD.

The bids for the now loan opened yesterday by
the Secretary OF tho Treasury disclosed very numer
applicants and very large claims. 1t is very
markable that the utmost range of the bidders ex-
tended per cent, the lowest being ut par
and the highest about that premium Messrs.
Riggs Of this city, and Mr.. Belmont Of New York,
offered for the ent.ro amount about az per
cent. premium, and as 1000, 900 of the loan
was awarded at per cent advance, and the balance
at about a. per cent, they took nothing by their
notion AS Messrs. Riggs and Belmont are about as
well qualified as any Of our moneycd mon to detect
the smallest change Of the financial pulse, and
garded the 33@ per cent. as likely to oontrol' the
award, we may infer that they are looking forward
to the period when money will DO worth moro than
tho present rates of three four por cent year.
It must also be remembered that had any large
operator succeeded in getting the entire loan, the
bonds would have been worth from one to two per
cent. more in the market than under q distribution
such as tho Secretary is required to make on the
bids opened yesterday, TWAS stated by somc Of
tho leading applicants that, had tho rate Of interest
been six instead of five per cent. the bids would
have ranged about ton per cent. higher than those
opened If this is so, little calculation will show
that the losses of tho treasury by the redemption Of
stock are, after nl worry inconsidcrabe in fact il
wo consider the interest mved on the loans and
the old stock redeemed doubt if the transactions
do not prove that the treasury has been the gamer
OF course nobody anticipated tho financial revulsion
of last year and much less that in oght months after
it reached its height money would DO worth only
three per cont. year.
We publish in another place an extended report

THE REVENUE AND THE EXPENSES OF CoLLEc

We see an article going the rounds Of the opposi
ton press, commenting severely the fact often ex
hibited in this and every ohor country that the ex
penses incurred in maintaining detective revenue
police are greater at certain points than the gross
amount of duties collected. The Richmond Wing has
recently made this discovery and has paraded it be.
fore the country as startling instance of extrava-
gance and political fraud. There is not man
in the United States that does know that revenue
establishment like ours must extend over every bor
der region and in many places cost than is
cevod in the way of duties. The integrity of tho
system and its power Of complete enforcement de-
pend upon the extent and activity Of its detective
force. We have most extended coast and contact
line to be watched and itwould be cuipable folly to
limit the police to those districts alone whose rove
MUGS are sufficient to pay their expenses Such
a course would very soon lead to the diminu-
ton of customs receipts at the great ports and to
the free introduction Of foreign goods at the ne
elected places. A very considerable portion of the
current revenues are derived from duties upon goods
Of triling bulk and weight, which would readily un-
dergo tho charge Of an overland carriage in order 10
be introduced free of duty. The sagacious ccono-
mists Of tho Richmond Wing would cut of large
portion of the detective revenue force in order to
save expenses, and thereby diminish the incomes
at tho great marts perhaps ten times over. We
have large class of such economists in this coun
try but fortunately far they have not been called
upon to discharge public duties, and we trust, al
least till the revival of trade they may be permitted
TO remain where they are.

TIE KANSAS ELECTION THE VOTE AGAINST AD-
MISSION

lllEI hANDAp ELIZA 'OAI- ANAAAspA AZ
MISSION. I
Tho results of the elections in Kansas leave doubt
of the refusal of tho people to BIO admitted into tho
Union on the terms proposed in the Conference Bill
of tho last session. The people Of Kansas have had
sad experience, as tools in the hands of dema-
gogues who have used them to effect political results
outside of the Territory. 1t is not surprising, the
excitement of the past having subsidized, that they
should feel disinclined to put on the habmonts Of
State and incur, at moment of pocunary pressure,
tho largely.incrcascd expenses of an establishment
Of their own.
Kansas, by the force Of circumstances, to which
wo need not refer has been purely exceptional
case Being drawn into the vortex Of the political
whirlpool and made merely instrumental in the work
of advancing the fortunes Of distant but reckless
fanaticsm it became necessary, if possible, to re-
move all causes for continued excitement by the
prompt admission Of tho State into the Union, even
when it was known that there not sufficient
number of inhabitants to enttlc them to member
Of Congress-. All efforts to pacify tho people, how
ever, having been unavailing, and seeing how
dcmagogues were likely still to exercise supreme
control in the Territory it tho dictate of patriot
ism TO overlook entirely the question of numbers
and admit them into the family of States. The
terms of admission finally arranged by Congress
were liberal, and the question whether they desired
to become State was finally submitted to them.
They have decided in the negative.
| This result we do not regret. There is no longer
any for treating Kansns exceptional to the
general rule prevailing in reference to the admission
of now States into tho Union Justice to tho people
of other Territories requires that they shall have
sufficient population, before admission, to enttle
them at least to one representative in Congress.
About one hundred thousand people is, and ought to
