Kanzas Affairs at washington.

The "Kanzas Imbroglio'' still absorbs
public time and attention at Washington,
and the fight on the Leeompton Constitution
grows hotter and hotter. Buchanan does
not show any signs of backing down. and
makes 'tsoundness" on that particular
goose the test in his friendships and ap-
pointments. On the other hand Douglas
is making terrible inroads in the ranks of the
Slave Democracy, and is quite sanguine of
success in defeating the Lecompton Swindle.
He is strengthened in the position he has
taken, by letters from prominent Democrats
all over the North and West, assuring him
that the people viii sustain him in his efforts
against the Leeempton Swindle. Broderick
and Gwin, the California Senators, support
Mr.. Douglas position. In the debate a few
days since, Mr.. Broderiek said that the peo-
pie of Kanzas should have cut the ears off
the members of the Bogus Convention and
then driven them out of the Territory.
In the House, Mr.. Cox, an influential Dem
ocratic member from Ohio, has spoken
against the position of the President. Two
thirds of the Democratic members of the
House from Ohio go with Douglas. There
has been quite stampede from the Admin
istration ranks, and new deserters are expect
ed. Mr.. Parrot, our Delegate in Congress,
writes encouragingly in regard to the pros
pect of the rejection of the Lecompton Con-
stitution. The President relies for success
upon the immense amount of patronage at
his disposal, and which he has reserved to
the present time. Wehope there are enough
honest men in Congress 10 defeat the de-
signs of the President

Another scoundrel Rewarded.

That quintessence of rufianism and
dough -faceism, John. or more properly
Jack Henderson, has arrived from Wash
ington with dispatches for Denver. Jack
says that Buchanan is particular friend
of his, and he has proved that friendship by
appointing him General Mail Agent, with
salary of $1,000 a year, and So day for
travelling expenses. A nice, snug berth he
has got, and like some others of his fellow
scoundrels he hopes to enjoy his otians cam
dignitate. upon the peoples money. Let
US give you word of advice, Jack Hen
derson, and that is, to ask "Old Buck, -
for yoar peace and safety. to appoint you to

or Territory. The members of the Trait
ors' Convention can never have peace or

Minnesota Election.

The Board of State Canvassers of Min
nesota have returned H. II. Sibley, DEM,
as elected Governor over A. Ramsey, by
24O votes, and the whole Democratic State
ticket by larger majority. This has been
done through the most barefaced swindling
and rascality-equal to anything that has
ever been attempted in Kanzas. After hav-
ing polled hundreds of illegal votes the De-
mocracy, finding that their count was still
short, threw out the returns of several pre-
cincts that gave Ramsay majority and thus
succeeded in electing the Governor and
State ticket. The new Legislature of the
State has elected Henry NJ. Rice and James
Shields to represent them in the .. s. Sen
ate. They are both Border Ruffian Demo
Gratis of the worst type.

Insolenee of nfinorities.

We have often heard men talk of the ty-
ranny of majorities, and We have sometimes
felt it ourselves, but there is nothing SO
strange in the history of the world as the
spectacle presented by this country. of the
dictatorial insolence of minority. Ever
since the inception of our Union have the
representatives of an oyerbearing and DOM
ineering minority, who are by no means re-
markable for their intellects, or in fine any
of the qualities by which oligarchies gene
rally rule, ruled the policy and controlled
the government of this country. By means
of the threat of disnnion has a fractional
part of the nation, consisting of not more
than .ftty thousand actiUe men, decided upon
all the great interests of the nation. With
this bugbear of dissolution have they been
able to carry every measure, and whenever
threatened with defeat they have had but to
raise their howls and some doughty cham
pion, who loved the Union and looked with
longing eye to the White House, would
step forward with a compromise measure,
and for the time being heal the breach at the
exposure of honor and justice. The tyrani
oligarchy, after accepting the boon. general
ly showed their gratitude by splitting in the
face of the donor. The doughty comprom-
isers and Union-savers have invariably been
shelved by their grateful master.
In all nations and parties there is an act
i've, factious minority, Who, by means Of
trickery. bullying and subserviency, endea-
vor to eerule OF ruin.'' By the arts in which
demagogues and politicians are learned, they
in most instances succeed. But though
this fact is apparent through the history oi
all governments, yet none has proved itself
50 powerful or baneful as in the council and
government of this nation.
True as this is of the nation, it is equally
true of parties within the body polite. We
have seen some striking instances of the In
science of minorities within the ranks of the
Free State party itself Under the fear oi
division and dismemberment. which they
have constantly flung out, a little knot of old
hunkers. affiliated by past associations with
the Black Democracy or Fossil Whiggery.

a voice from the Pacific.

From amid the valleys and hillsef far:of
Oregon we catch the reverberatinge echoes Of
ithat Joyous shout for Freedom which. rising
|zigh above the sounding beat of Pacific s
surf, rings ont over the peaks of the Rocky
Mountains, and across the broad plains Of
Kanzas to the turbid waters of the Missouri,
whose every wave catches the pealing notes
and sends them swiftly onward. down the
Father of Waters. bearing joy to many
hearts, and dismay to many scheming
mind, by the tidings they convey.
Oregon is free Another State has ad-
ded her brillianee to the lustrious belt OF
light which stretches across the Continent.
from Freedoms older battle ground on At
lantie's rocky shores to her latest and fresh
est field, where the sunny waters Of the Pa
cifc kiss the western sands, all golden with
the sinking sun. Anxious eyes have watched
the struggle in Oregon, and many heart
in Kanzas rejoiceth in the midst of their
own conflict that the hardy pioneers of the
virgin State wisely forbid the spreading of
the foul curse of slavery to blight its fair
domain. It is harbinger of joy and tri-
umph, and as such we welcome it. The
overwhelming majority in favor Of Freedom
and Free Institutions speak in thunder tones
of noble victory. Back from the valley
of the Columbia. and along the banks of the
Oregon, high pealing over the summit of
Mount Hood, winging its fight far above

back to struggling Kanzas and newly-awa-
kened Missouri, the mother State of a ma
jority of the oregonians, glowing words of
promise and cheer to fill the toilers' hearts
with gladness, and strengthen the hands of
Free Labor for present and coming contests.
Another State, free and untrammeled, will
apply for admission into the Union. AL

and to the slave power we may say, "Mene.

We have but one feature to regret In this
triumph, and that is, that it should be
stained with the black law infamy. When
will Americans learn the fundamental prin-
ciple which underlies the great battle for
Right and Justice now rocking this Conti-
nent to its center When will men learn
that the victims are not the cause of the
evils of slavery? Surely, robbery of the
produce of their labor-the debasing inHu
ences of bondage-the deprivation of all
natural rights by being made slaves-is
punishment enough to be inflicted on the
African race for a misfortune, that of color,
for which their Creator, not they, are re-
responsible, without depriving them when
free of the right to breathe free air and live
on free soil When will this barbarous
prejudice vanish, and men learn to hold the
natural rights of the humblest as sacred |
things? But it thrills us to hear the peans
