THE KANSAS QUESTION.

TIE adoption of the State Constitution OF Kan
sss and that by decisive majority Of the nhabit-
ants, Of which We have accounts BY telegraph, viii
put the Democrats in the next Congress in rather
an awkward predicament Many Of the Southern
Democrats had no little ado in reconciling their
constituents to the vote which they gave for the En-
eIsh bill The English bill was regarded, in many
psrts OF the South, as pusiIanimous surrender OF
the rights Of slsveholders-rights which required
that Kansas should be received into the Union Sc
slsyehodiDg State, ard under the LecomptOn Con'h-
tuition, whether the inhabitants wished it OF not
But how can those who thought the English bill
thus defective, tolerate the setting aside OF one
Of its provisions, which, in yielding the main point
of allow ing the people of Kansas to be heard, yet
still implied q marked political superiority in
,lsveholding over non-slsveholding population
IfKsn.,s Wa willing to come into the l mon under
q slayeholding Constitution, manufactured for her
by Border. Ruff,n Convention she would be ac-
cepted at once, without stopping to consider the
number Of her inhabitants. If ihe did not choose

A great change on the subject OF flibus!sriag.
both at Washing and in this city, has occurred
since the palny days in which VIM Walker figured
in Nicaragua frat - Commander-in Chief Of the
forces Of thst Republic, and afterward its Presi-
dent, and the wouldbe conqueror Of the other
States Of Central America A, that time Oh p loads
Of fllibu,sers left New Orleans and San Francisco
week after week, beside now and then cargo from
this city without the ightest attempt to stop taea
IN the part of the Federal authorities, or attempts
% very sHgtt as to prove that the Government
were quite wiling they should 90.
At the same time, Walker figured in the columns
Of several Ney.York journals Is the instrument Of
Providence, destined to spread liberty and eiviErI
ton through the tropics, and to furnish tie feeble
native inhabitants with new guides, teachers sA
rulers from the North.
Walker seems shll to believe oil this, and to b
a.. anxious as ever to fulfill the destiny marked DIV
for him by his NewYork admirers. But, thossh
he has not changed they have; and 90 have his for
mer friends at Washington. In New-York be is 10
longer hero. Instead Of that be is ridicued as Q
vssabond, and denounced as ma'plot The a.
thorites st Washp gton have ceased to Wink at his
enterprises On the contrary, they seem resolltely
bent upon enforcing the neutrality laws against
him. The only strength he ever had, aud the eX-
tent to which the fllibustering spirit spread, WAS
mainly due to the encouragement given to il BY the
Federal authorities and the Nex-York press,
both of which are now quite busy
in stamping out the embers of the Are
which they themselves contributed so much
to kindle Some attempts are indeed made to
shift off upon Walkers individual shoulders the
blame of the fIbuster failure. 1t is intimated BY
one of the New-York journals, very busy formerly
in stimulating the fillibuster spirit, that If Walker
had been less ambitious less domineering, and less
bent upon fea,hering his own nest, and satisfying
tie demands of the adventures who focked
around him, the enterprise would have sue
ceeded better. Ii is not for US 10
apologize for Walker or bis followers.
They were worthless fellows enough. no doubt
Bot then they were the only sort of fellows who
would engsge in such an enterprise. 1t Was tho
character Of the enterprise-which, in spite Of all
attempts to disguise il, was no better than piece
OF attempted robbery-that determined the chsrsc-
ter of those who had part in it, and thar made
it impossible for the undertaking 10 come 10 any
good. We are glad indeed to perceive that even
The Herald is at last satisfied or seems to be, that
this method of operation never can succeed, and
tba. if we are to do anything for our neishbon OF
the tropics, it must be BY some other method.

REPUBLICANS OF THE CITY:

each Election:

True, the vote of 81 fell short of the Presidential
poll of 80; but you showed on the Supervisor vote
at the Municipal Election just after that your
strength was nowi.e diminished. There il no place
in TIE Union where Republican principles have
more steadily gained ground in the face Of immense
obstacles and Disbursements, than right here in
this City.
And they will continue to gain, if you do your
whole duty. Tie miIion.yoiced calumnies which
accused you of d.loyslty to the Union are returning

are inferentially procaming that they viii never
submit TO the rule Of Republican President, you
are quietly enduring the domination Of the Slave

THE FULTON BANK CASE.

The defens Sc set up in the case Of tho embexziins
clerk of the Fulton Bank is not less bold aud nOn-
chalant than was the style in which the embezzle-
ment itself was conducted. This clerk entered in
q book, which it was his duty to keep, memoranda
of certain notes as having been lodged BY himself
with the bank for collection, and as having been
sent to certain corresponding banks for that pur-
pose, to which be subsequently appended certain
other memoranda importing that the notes had
been paid at the banks to which they had been
sent All these entries from beginning to end were
false. No such notes had been lodged with the
Fulton Bank for collection; no such notes had been
cent to the corresponding banks; no such notes
ever existed Yet the false entries thus made
created an apparent debt due by the Fulton Bank.
and il was upon the strength Of this false credit
that the money was obtained.
To meet this case, the counsel for the defense
took the ground that the acts Of their client did not
come within the range Of the criminal law. That.
so far from being cbarseable with felony, he was
not even guilty of misdemeanor; thst in fact, be
had committed q mere breach Of trust, for which
be was only liable in civil procedure.
1t is true that the law, as laid down BY lawyers
on behalf Of their clients is always to be accepted
with many grains Of allowance, and moro espe-
cally in criminal cases; but the boldness and sp-
parent confidence with which this defense WA
enuncisted, the distinction which the common Law
90 much affected between breaches Of trust and
criminal appropriations Of property, and the loop
holes 90 apt 10 be found in statutes made 10 amend
the common law-tbese considerations, taken to-
gether, make the point worthy Of little consider
alton.
We think it will be found that even st the com,
mon law, and quite independently Of any statute
provisions the making Of false entries in book OF
accounts with the view 10 obtain money thereby, j.
something more than q mere breach Of trust. IL
is, in fact, forgery, which is defined to DO tho
false making, or materially altering with intent
to defraud, Of any writing which, if genuine
mi ght DO apparently Of legal efficacy, or the four
"dation Of legal liability" Tho entries upon
the strength of which tho money Of the Fulton
Bank was obtained were precisely Of this charsc-
ter. They were falsely made, with intent to de-
fraud, and if true and correct, would have been Of
legal efficacy to create debt on the part Of tho
bank The same case il included in that description
of forgery which our New York statutes describe~
forgery in the third degree. We apprehend, there
FORE that If this prosecution fails, it must % 90
some other ground than the assumption that -
criminal ofense has been committed
