e1oeinE the statements made, with an eng
phal1p injunction against their repetition. He
believes that the home Ministry are equally
ignorant, and hence his conviction il decided
that these acts will be promptly disavowcd
and the fullest reparation made.
1t is the Navigation, and not the Neutrali-

Sr. LOUIS, May 24.--A dispatch dated
Leayenwor,h 22nd, says: Doniphnn county
gives about $50 majority for the Lecompton
|Ionstitution. In several precincts tbs polls
/ we're not opened. Not half the votes 81 the
6tdnty were pollcd. The DsMocrat Of this
/ city publishes letter from Dir. Walden Of
the Quindaro ChindoUan, who estimates
the vote of the Territory at 5000 for, and
1900 against the Constitution. Vote both
for State Officers and Constitution quite

BosroN, May 2i.--The 44th anniversary
of the American Tract Association was COM
menced to-day. Mr.. g. G. Hubbard offered
resolutions for the dissolution Of its connec-
ton with the New York Association, on ac-
count Of the recent acts Of that body on the
question Of slavery. They will be discussed
rEhet the Democratic party is hope
niger drivers, is we'll proven BY the fact
. hat. I'D kaA mis- in q
platform. the exclusion from suffrage Of all
but citizens Of the United States in the ter
ritories. Thus, at the beck Of it's Southern
allies IN changed the policy Of the Coy
eminent, and offered a direct and pointe1i IT,
| suit to the foreign element OF the coun1as
on which it has relied for all its victories n
recent years. The Catholic, German, and
Irish citizens Of the United States elected
Mr.. buchanan. And yet, the very men who
wene Sissated by thes3 onkuraliaad citizens,
~ - bsck Of Sout1k dlDuAlonists have
turned upon their ao1teS - agfced that a
declaration Of intenteon 70 heoome citizen
shall not give to foreign-born pioneers in the
Territories the privilege Of voting in the
matter of their domestic affairs. AS the
people OF the territories have no vote for
President or Vice President, or even Mem
bers Of Congress,--do not elect their own
l9teE1ers and Judicial officers, it was
Hht but faieaad reasonable that even
psgs6ne of foreigH birth, who encountered
~ Aardships and aspirations of pioneer
|1ke, tpon declaration of their intention 10
become citizens, should have a voice in
shaping their domestic institutions, so far
as that was practicable, thsoM6h the election
Of territorial legislators, o616ky officers and
delegates to Congress, who are nothing more
than lobby members. That this was but fair
and just, until recently, We have heard no
one dispute. Now, however, because for
sien citizens, when placed beside the negro
ekAttel and Beqaissd TO compete with forced
slays labor have ben found opposed to the
"national" irstitntion, it is the last demand
Of the lords of the plantation, complied with
% soon as demanded, that this poor boon be
withheld. What hope is there for party
that 10 thus false to every promise, every
principle and every ally, save and except its
disuion masters.-[ HAxkeye.
