The New STATE OF KANsAs.-The peo-
pie of Kansas have recently ratified a
new rigidly anti-slavery constitution and
in December next it will be presented to
the uUuse, uru uwU repuUncun senators
close behind it. 1t is supposed in some
quarters, that the Southern ultra democ-
racy will endeavor to resist the admission
OF the State, on various technicalities,
and especially on the ground that the
people of Kansas have not regarded very
exactly the instructions of the English
bill. We trust, however, that the North
ern and Southern democrats of Congress,
especially of the Senate, where they have
a decided majority, will consent to make
the most of bad bargain, and be done
with it, by admitting the new State into
the Union. True. the democracy, North
and South, have been egregiously taken
in with this beautiful popular sovereign
ty" whistle of Mr.. Douglas; but as they
bought it, trusting to the sellers recon-
mendations Of the article, they are bound
to pay the price. Let them do so at once,
and grin and bear the damages as patient
lyas possible. The longer the settlement
is delayed the heavier will be the bill of
costs.

INCIDENT AT PRAYER MEETING.-The
prayer meeting held in Philadelphia for
"the unity of the spirit" gathered an i'm
mense assemblage of all the Protestant
sects. The Philadelphia Bulletin says:
A most interesting incident occurred,
an incident, SO far as we know, unparal-
leled in the history of Professionalism. Dr.
Nevin, of the Presbyterian Church, tOS.,)
rose and stated that the Apostless Creed
was one of the symbols of his branch of
the Church, and it might be of all the
churches represented, and proposed that
Mr.. Cracratt should repeat it as the creed
of the meeting, all standing and joining in
it. Instantly, every individual of the vast
assemblage sprung to his feet. The Chair
man began, Il believe in God the Father,
Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth"
Every voice joined him. Nearly two thou
sand people-Episcopalians, Presbyteri-
ans, (Old and New School,) Seceders, Co
venanters, Dutch Reformed, German Re-
formed, Baptsts, Methodists, Lutherans,
Moravians, Congregationalists, Indepen-
dents-all repeated with the simplicity of
children, this grand old formula which
has come down to us on the stream of
ages-"I believe in God, the Father, Al
mighty" Even calm spectator, not
easily excited, and standing aloof from
any enthusiasm of the moment, could not
but be moved. As the "Apostles' Creed"
so called, is the only uninspwed summary
of Christian doctrine in which all these
Churches believe, it seemed like an Act of
Union of the Church Universal 1t drought

THE CouRr OF CLAIMs.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York journal
of Commerce, says that Congress, at its
next session, is expected to take some ac-
ton on the Court of Claims. The Court
has been diligently employed in examin-
ing the various kinds of claims against the
Government, and making decisions there
on. But as Congress has neglected to act
upon the decisions, and as the Court has
no power to carry them into effect, the
whole process and expense come to moth
ing. The Court seems to have been Great
ed merely to relieve Congress for the time
being from an irksome class of cases. But
in the meanwhile great injustice is done
to the claimants, to whom q peremptory
denial of any hearing would be kinder
treatment. Some members of Congress
are in favor of abolishing the Court, and
others of modifying the act by which it
was constituted, so as to give effect to its
decisions.

"'rhe American Generals exploit seems
to have been nothing more than one OF
those acts of piracy by which lawless re-
presentatives of the United States are
accustomed to settle disputes with weak

which it is time they should be taught

article concludes as follows: I'VE trust
the Government of the United States
will speedily disavow the acts of its Off
Ger, otherwise the English Government
will be forced to take immediate steps
for vindicating the honor of the country,
and showing the licensed ruffians of the

pirate British territory as coolly as if they

BaS" His Excellency, Gov. Morgan, of
New York, has appointed the Oath day of
November as day of thanksgiving in
that State. He states the reasons for this
providing as follows:
'The gathered harvest and the varied
hues of autumn admonish us that anoth-
er year is drawing to close. 10 us, as
state and nation, it has been a year of
countless blessings. The labors of the
husbandman have been most abundantly
rewarded. Commerce and manufactures
are recovering from the great prostration
into which the late revulsion had thrown
them The pestlence, so much dreaded
at our principal seaport, has been happily
averted, and health has reigned within
our borders. While vast multitudes in
foreign lands have been summoned from
their homes to engage in bloody conflict
or to stand in battle array, we have been
permitted, in the Providence of God, to
continue in the enjoyment of freedom
and selfgovernment, and to pursue, amid
the pleasures and comforts of our own
firesides, our unexampled career Of peace
and prosperity"

"a modest and dignifed courtesy from

There was spare bench near the door
which accommodated the most of us, and
Judge Warren and Poet Thompson occu-
