The Senate Will Reject |!

We call attention to the communica-
ton of "Ion." the correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun-one Of the, if not the
most reliable in favor of the Democracy.
For the second time. he has advanced
this same view-viz: that Kansas will
not be admitted because the English Bin
was not followed. ~
All this means one thing-that no Free
State will be admitted, if the Slave Pow
er in the South can prevent it. 1t will
resort. for this end, to technicslity, abuse
of power, or violation of law. 1t will
defy alike the will or the interest of the
people.
1t is vain for the Herald to brag of the
courage OF the Democracy, unless it means
to combine servility and wickedness as
proof of it. 1t is utterly vain for it to
pirate about free States, or Free State
principles, unless it means to offer resist
ance to both, directly or indirectly. as ev-
idence of its false statements. Nothing
but fear will compel the Democratic SEN
ate to admit Kansas. If during the win
ter it shall appear in the Senate's opinion.
that her rejection will make compact the
North, and divide the South in 1860, she
will become a State; if not, not.
Save daring belongs to party and pluck
to partisan. the Democracy has none Of
either. 1t cows to the South and before
it. 1t sinks knee deep in the mud of SER
Witty. and will sink down to the lowest
and to that lower deep. for Office or for
power. 1.-THE old Democratic party"
says the Herald, "dreads nothing under
the light Of the sum-" Why then does it
not denounce the disunionists Of the
South Z? Why does it not meet the ex-
tremists there. as it meets the extremists
of the North The whole action Of the
Democracy North. is covered over with
fear. If ithates, it breads the power it
serves.
If Kansas is rejected. IL will be rejected
because she is a free State. "Ion'' ad-
mits that The South asks the rejection
on this ground, and the services of the
North will grant it upon this ground, and
upon no other ground. Our belief is
mingled with doubt, that the South
will not dare reject Kansas.-Leavsn-
north Times.

The SPEAKER AND CLERK OF THE NEXT
HousE.-The Washington correspondent
of the Boston Journal says:
The chances for the election of Mr.. Cor
win as Speaker of the next House are A
No. l. Just now j. w. Forney has de-
cidedly the inside track for the clerkship,
and ] am inclined to think if Mr.. Corwin
is chosen to WELD the gorel, Mr.. Forncy
will have the pen. Among other gentle
men spoken of as candidates for the clerk
ship, are Hon. Warner L. Underwood Of
Kentucky. and Gen. Schouler of Massa-
chusetts. both Of whom are "worthy and
we'll qualified" Some amusement has
been created by circulars recommending
as q candidate for Clerk Of the House,
DR.. Chsfe, of Springfield. Gen. Cullom
has also an eye to an election to his old
post. but no movement will be made by
his friends until after his trial, which will
soon come of here. Mr.. Rives has made
arrangement to have it fully reported, and
some curious revelations may be expected
If Gen. Cullom does not avail himself Of
the statute of limitations.

THz SCHOOL ARTIcLE.-The Democra-
CIV are still troubled about the School Ar

of little niggers going to the same school
with white children. In fact, it troubles
them SO, that some of them have begun
to cry about it, Now. we find that the
Constitution says nothing about children.
either white or black, attending school.
Children are only mentioned once in the
Article, and that is where it says The
school fund shall be disbursed annually
in proportion to the number of children
and youth residing in each district. Yet
pack Of ignoramuses are bowling about
niggers and white children going to the
same school, when the fact is, most oil
them have not seen the Constitution, and
do not know whether il contains School
Article Can't they now get mp another
bobby-that the Constitution don't allow
children TO 60 to school at all
The Constitution, as we have shown
makes no definite school regulations, but
only provides for a school fund. The
Bill of Rights says that all powers moi
delegated in the Constitution. remain with
the people. The people speak through
the Representatives, is clear, therefore
that the people. through their Legislators
have the right to enact laws regulating
schools. All they have to do. is,to pas
school law. prohibiting whites an'
blacks from attending the same school
If the people want such law, they cal
pass it /; and if they do not, they canno
be compelled to enact it-so there is nj
use in bowling so about IL.

Bio CALCULATIONS Some Of the De
mocratic papers are hugging the notion
that great many Free State men are
going to aid them in defeating the Con
stitutiOn. TherI eavenworth Herald says
nearly all the Republicans Of Northern
Kansas intend to vote against it. The
Herald is rather too sanguinc. Many
Republicans do not think the a2portion-
ment Just, anil have denounced it but
they do not intend to let that one Article
influence them to vote against all the
good things contained in the COnstitu-
ton. Their principal objection to the
arporiionmcnt is, that it looks too much
like Democratic apportionments. But
even il they had felt Indifferent about vo-
ting for the Constitution, their minds
have undergone a change. since they have
heard the demagogue cries Of the Slavers
against it, and have seen the violent op-
position Of their partisans, from the Go
vernon down to the most Insignificant
party tool. Every Republican in North
ern Kansas, who goes to the polls, will
vote for the Constitution. The Slavers
may rally their own party strength against
it, but that is considerably mixed.

in johnson County. and we are told that
one Farmer Evans delivered touching

"Of course, if the negro children can
go to school in my district, if he is smart
enough. he might, perhaps. be engaged to
teach and whip my children"

eloquent, and brought the tears to many

The first paragraph of the above is de

signed by Thomas D. Florence. They
are accompanied by prospectus of q
Democratic Review, to be published at
Washington. In the letter, it is stated
that such work is badly needed by the
Democratic party at present and Post
masters are virtually commanded to sub
scribe themselves, and are entreated to
send the names Of all their friends whom
they can induce to subscribe. To make
the thing take, it is announced that a
Portrait of President Buchanan will ap-

matter is, that Tom feels it is his bones
that he will be ousted from his seat in
Congress and the President, having no
fat Office for him, has set him to black
mailing the poor Postmasters with his
Review arrangement. We have no doubt
that the Democratic party needs all the
assistance it can get, and that Tom Flor

ment. All the subscriptions he gets Of
many of them, he can "poke into his

COMING TO THE REsCuE.-That over

among others, comes to the rescue OF its

In an article in reference to free negroes

state that Arkansas has passed law dri-
wing free negroes out Of the State, and
that they are making arrangements to go
to Kansas. That would be a right good
hobby. were it not for the unpleasant fact,
that Arkansas has passed no such law.
But the Republican. like sll other papers
of its politics. does not hesitate to retail
the dirtiest kind of lies. to promote par
tisan ends.
