CArrcUs.-The American word CAUCUS Is IN
troduced into English politics. The London
Star speaks of ssa caucus of Lord Palmers'on's
friends" This word (which Webster is at a
loss to exp!ainia bis dictionary is derived from
early revolutionary history. The north part of
Boston, which is celebrated for its anti-tea
demonstrations, wls the field of labor OF the
caulkers, and other mercantile laborers. These
caulkers we're the most active in patriotic move
ments against British oppression, and 'caulk-
er.s meeting" became gradually to be called a
caucus. The word, thus derived from rcvolu-
tionary patriotism, is pow adopted even IN the
land whose tyranny gave occasion to its origin.

these designing men could by no

From the Quindaro Chindowan.l
\ Tho Right Of Instructions.

The propriety of giving, and tn
right Of the people to give instruction
to those to whom they delegate pow
er is questioned by a few persons il
almost every community. These per
Isons are honest in their convictions
and patriotic in their motives, but, w
think, mistaken in their opinions
We believe the right of instructions
obe indisputsble, and opposition tc
Tito be in direct antagonism with the
genius of our political institutions, il
they are indeed what all unite in
claiming them to be-popular, ema'
mating from and representing the will
of the people. im, i.o.l,.a.aay
| Absolute Democracy is thing al,
most unknown in our country. Laws
are not made, nor expounded. nor
enforced by the people themselves.
They select pcrSons,to act for them in
the Legislative, the Judicial and the
Executive Departments of the Gov
ernment, and thus govern themselves
by and through these, their Represent
atives. These Representatives office-
holders Of any and every grade--can
only carry out the will of the people
when that will is known, and the def
mite expression Of that will--of the
views Of the people upon any question
at issue covers the whole ground of
Instructions. WI, .HI ...
Men are not elected to Office be-
cause their talent, their soundness of
judgment, adds dignity and weight to
the opinions they may hold, but be-
cause Of the coincidence existing be-
tween their opinions and those of the
people. In every party and political
performance, the fact is recognized
and exemplifed that from the highest
official to the lowest in the country,
from the President of the Nation TO
the scavenger ola Borough, he who
is chosen to serve in public capacity
is merely an agent, an instrumcntality
whereby the people express and exc
cute their will. n .ral l."l an
In this view ofthe matter there can
beno question as to the right Of CIV
ing instructions. The only open ques-
tion is in regard to the expediency
Of exercising this right. Where the
views of public functionary are
known and his integrity above ques.
tion, there is no need Of any kind of
instruction. A wise public will not
vote for man devoid of principle,
and therefore, giving instructions,
does not imply doubt in regard to
mans integrity, but an uncertainty
respecting his opinions--a matter up
on which the public is entitled to a
definite knowledge. A people will
only exercise this right when they
wish olimit representatives action,
or give emphasis to some policy they
desire TO be carried out.

The tenor of recent letters from
Kanzas would seem to show that large
numbers Of fMissourians and Arkan.
sans, with their slaves. are preparing
to settle in Neosho Territory, with
the connivance of the Indians. -
Among the Choctaws strong desire
is expressed in favor Of Immediate
admittance into the Union as o Slave
State, al The Cherokees are not unan-
imous on this subject; but as both
nations are large Shareholders, the
ptopagandists have taken care to ex-
cite their passions, by playing on their
cupidity. A great deal Of feeling ID
manifested with regard to the subject
of free or slave State, and some pref
udice exists against Kanzas free State
men. Slaves are numerous, most Of
the principal chiefs owning from fifty
to one hundred. The Choctaws grow
considerable quantities Of cotton and
tobacco. II is stated that II is no un-
common thing for the slaves to run
away to Mexico, in parties of twenty
or thirty, and when pursued they
fight desperately, rather than 80 back
to bondage. A large number Of slaves
thus escop pc annually. In view Of
these facts the Philadelphia North
.AmsgicdA EXPRESSES the suspicion that
the prohibition against white settlers
hasyoply been enforced, against non
shareholders and that the process Of
converting Neosho into aSlavo State
has been Gteadily going on Under COW
or Of the United States Indian agen-
cies.s The same journal asks sit the
Indians are 70 be admitted to an
