A Washington correspondents ef the Rich

A happy fellow was pcor Mceks when he
came from the penitentiary. Tie had no idea
of the good luck that awaited him, and
when Mr.. Letchcr told him that he was free,
the scene was truly affecting. Old Buck
is conscientiously opposed to exercising the
padoning power, and the pardon in this
case was obtained with great difficulty
Judge BrockeasSrongf, 7 learn, brought his
Influence to Mr. Letchcr, and the two sue
ceeded. Meeks was only sixteen years old
when he went in, four years ago, to serve
out ten long years. He was made tool by
villainous postmaster. who was the real of
fender, and ran away, leaving poor Meeks
to suffer.

aa- The Legislature of Texas has ma

aas- The Legislature of Texas has made
an appropriation of $4,000 to help to
whip the North-in another southern
Convention. We have seen a child fly
into passion, and stamp upon the stone
with which he mashed his finger; and if
men are but children of larger growth,
why should not the Texas Legislators
make war upon their own folly when they
find Kansas, their plaything, topping over
and hurting their toes. For our own part,
we think it time that southern buster
about disunion and resistance to the North
should be treated with the contempt it
merits. Let the locofocos who are con :
tinually threatning disunion, show that
they have had no agency in bringing about
sectional discord-that it is purely the
result of northern aggression, and then
we will go with them in any measure OF
resistance. But they are guilty of aiding
and abetting every movement that has
worked mischief to the South-they have
doneit knowingly and willfully, and deserve
the execration, rather than the sympathy,
of every southern friend of the Union
We despisc their toadyism to the northern
rable, as much as we contemn their cry OF
disunion, and until they prove true to the
South, by ceasing to pander to the North
for party ends, their threats of disunion-
hollow, as they are, and only now repeated
for effect-are too contemplate to be even
treated gravely.

Rds- We are indebted to the Publishers,
T. b. Peterson & Brothers, 306, Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, for an advanced copy
of "The Lost Daughter" and other stories,
by Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz The volume
is very neatly and substantially bound in
Muslin, and is printed in clear, beautiful
type, on fine paper. The price is one
dollar and twenty five cents for the work
in one volume, or one dollar, in two vol
umcs, paper cover.
The writings of Mrs, Henz have stood
the test of criticism, and established for her
n reputation that needs no defent and NAV
defy assaults. Her style is easy, graceful
and correct, and the moral tone which
pervades all her writings is of that eevat-
ed character which impresses by its intrin-
sic force, and wins by the simple and un-
pretending manner in which it is present
ed. Hers are moral lessons applicable to
everyday life, and address themselves to
the hearts of the million and can not fail
to do good wherever they are read. The
author has passed from earth, but she will
long live in her works, and be gratefully
remembered by the thousands whom she
will have delighted and instructed

pay They who have inferred from our
remarks that we are opposed to the admis-
sion Of Kansas under the Lecompton
CONSTITUTIONS are decidedly mistaken. We
caro- not how soon it is admitted, and wish
we could believe that it will remain a slave
State The whole affair is most danger.
Gus swindle, and our remarks have been
designated to show this, and direct the at
tention Of our readers to the baseness of
the locofoco party, as evinced by its viola
ton of pledges and principles and the cor
rupt means by which it carries all its
points. We never expect to see Kansas
admitted into the Union, by fair means,
because it was organized in fraud and cor
ruption, and must come into the Union
by the same appliances, unless every move
be reversed by Congress, from the Nebras-
ka bill-the original fraud-down to the
Lecompton Convention. Knowing then,
that neither precedent, law, constitutional
provisions nor common honesty control
the action Of Notwithstanding, indeed,
that such elements, if brought to bear, by
themselves, would be fatal to their exis-
tence as paaty, we have thought only Of
exposing their villainy, without wasting
words in the vain attempt to check its
Roadway.
If the admission of Kansas will settle
the agitation of slavery, the sooner it is
admitted the better but in yielding as.
sent to the measure, we do not part with
our right to denounce the means by which
rotten party carry out that measure
And were it in our power to remand Kan
sas to its condition prior to the passage Of
the Nebraska bill, and to organize it, as Q
Territory, in accordance with the fedora
Constitution, it should not come into the
Union with history, every page Of which
is reeking with the loathcsome filth O.
locofoco corruption. In vindication of the
Constitution, of national honor, of com.
mon justice it should begin de nopo, ant
every step Gifts progress from territorial
to State government should be measured
by the standard erected by the letter ant
spirit of the Constitution Honest and
patriotic men would have so ordered it, in
the beginning ; but the selfish ambition o
knaves, playing upon the gullibility o
fools, is the controlling element of thi
government and he who looks for wisdom
patriotism or common honesty in it
administration is just green enough to b
the plaything ofa rascally locofoco dema
gogue.

his physical powers are rapidly giving way.
Well, it is all his own fault. Had he acted

q
bI~ The Jeffersonian can see nothing
in the doctrine Of Buchanan's Kansas
Message, Chat majorities can make, or
unmake constitutions at pleasure, and
without regard 10 such restrictions and
limitations as they had imposed for the
sake of stability that is not right and as
old as the hills. By way of testing his
faith in that ruinous doctrine, and of Civ
ing him an opportunity to enlighten his
readers upon a subject of such vital inn
portance to the well being Of the country,
VIC beg leave to request a straight forward
answer to the following interrogatories
If the majority, in Kansas, have the alb
solute and unconditional right to violate =
provision Of their Constitution in order TO
alter, or amend it, prior to 1864, have not
the majority, in the North, the same right
to violate the federal Constitution in order
to alter, or amend it. If not please point
out the distinctions between the rights of
majorities in States, and in the Union, and
show where Buchanan's doctrine ceases to
be universal in its application, and becomes
exceptional.
The President says it is absurd to sup
pose that majorities can fetter themselves,
and that the majority, in Kansas, have as
much right to amend their constitution
before, as after 1864. Is it not equally
absurd to suppose that a federal majority
can fetter themselves2 The doctrine is
broad, universal and unqualified, and we
want the Jeffersonian to tell us why the
northern majority can not, at pleasure,
unmaks the federal Constitution, as
well as the majority in Kansas can unmake
theirs, before 1864
! The Jeffersonian says that this new doc
trine is nothing more nor less than the
the long established truism that majorities
must rule, and would make his readers
telieve that we, from mere partizan mo-
tives, are endeavoring to overturn that
doctrine. This is not so. We have full
faith in the power of the majority to rule,
as also in its right to do SO but not to
rule like mob -disregarding Constitutions
and Jaws, but in precise conformity with
prescribed rules, as by themselves laid
down. And the difference between our
doctrine and that of the President, is just
the difference between a constitutional
government and mobocracy. What be-
. comes of the rights of minorities if the
guarantees by which they hold them are
not more fixed and reliable than the will
of a majority? What will become of the
rights of native Americans when MAORI
J ty, made such by foreigners, choose to
invade them? What security has the
South, for its rights, under the doctrine
that majority is lawless power subject
to no constitutional restraints?
