their invitations and eXhortations, and no doubt
are beginning to realize what has long seemed
puzzle to them, as well as other people, that tho
straight and narrow road is not through the
''thineys" and "mineys" of this, that or the
other creed SO much as II is in good feeling and
good works. When other people see the teach

rotation" with little charity, why then, they,
too, begin to feel the genial influence.
In this light, then, we say, these meetings

PoLrr1cAL ITEMs-By the Latest Mails.-The
Baltimore Patriot concludes very sensible re-
view of the state of the Lccompton question,
with the following remarks:
How fearful the responsibility that now rests
upon the Senate of the United States? Wilt
for mere partizan and political purposes, refuse
10 give us peace, when, in fact, by concurring
with the amendment of the House, there will
be no sacrifice of any real political principle
| If this movement of Senator Crittenden were
the closing act of his political life he would be
Justly entitled to be regarded as the great paca-
UlSlllS III his JlaCS, tue lNO
sections of country arTayed against each other,
he lays hold upon them with a firm grasp and
seeks by this measure to unite the severed parts
If this rancor, ill-feeling, and want of harmony
! is to be continued, it must be and justly is
chargeable to those Senators who persist in adj
herring to the Lecompton constitutions; and the
day is not far distant when each one will be
brought to the bar of public opinion, and receive
the just condemnation of an injured and dis
tracted country.
The N Y. Herald, which has heen showing
symptoms of about face" on the question, thus
winds up an article on the subject:
In this business view of the case, then, no
less than in consideration of the paramount oh
Eject of decisive and final settlement of this
vcxed question of Kansas, we submit to the con-
servative democrats of the Senate, that their du
ty to the country, to tine administration and to
their party, is to consent to the passage of the
Crittenden bill. 1t secures all that can be gain
ed under the Lecompton any other bill; and
in placing the act of admission in the hands of
the President, it endorses his honest adhesion
to the law, and secures an honest, certain, and
final solution of the whole question.
The N. Y. Times Washington correspondent
telegraphs to that paper, that
The Administration men talk of the joining of
two South Americans and two Douglas Demo
Gratis on the Lecompton question. The other
side say that every man is firm. CarutherS is
expected at Wheeling tonight, and here to-
morrow, in time to vote il the bill is up. Other
wise, Stephens desires to delay taking it up.
| The same paper contains the following:
Gov Chase, of Ohio, has not been here at all,
as reported, and though along with many 9TH
ers, he at first advised against the acceptance of
the Crittenden programme, yet there is no evil
dence, now it has been finally determined on,
that there will be any abandonment oft E0erY
znOuemeRt in that programme, from the TOtG on
/ be fyJ.
the bill SoGS projected and agreed upon at the
start, and set down in manner that no misun-
lderstanding can occur. The House will accord
lingly refuse to recede from its amendments, and
deny Committee of Conference, unless cir
cumstances arise to render it desirable to the
Opposition. If the Senate adhere to its own
Ibill, therefore, the question must drop, and Kan
sas must remain without the Union another
/ year, at least.
The Turk, over whom SO much fuss was made
on his arrival at New York and Washington, does
not seem to be making such great Roadway in
the ohjectof his mission, juding from the follow
ing despatch to the n. Y Tribune:
Mohammed Pasha made an applica ion to the
Secretary of the Navy to build the 'tSt three
decker that could he constructed lar Turkey
without regard to cost He did not apprehcnd
that any objection would be made. Judge of
his surprise when a negative reply was given.
He has now written home for Instructions to
make private contract, though it is suggested
here that Il naval constructor may he assigned
him, to prevent him from being feeced.

mails, we find the following episode recorded ::
We can't imagine what it means
