ly-passed resolves of the Virginia Legislature,
urging the admission of Kansas into Inc Union

variable adherence to Democratic principle
amid all the mutations of politics and all the
momentary storms in political affairs which so
frequently drift other States from their politi-
cal moorings.
The IHteltgeneer again returns to its con-
test with the Union upon the question of the
precise meaning of the resolves upon the Kan
sas question recently adopted by the Indiana
Legislature
