WHAT Is THE QUESTION, NIB.
spEAKERfv


l. The ~ Y Times, acme weeks ago, otfciously
volunteered 10 give The TRIBUNE information on
political topics, to the extent of its ability. we
closed with the offer, and thereupon propounded
this question: "What do you mean by the phrase
Northern sectionalsm l'"-The Times having
used that phrase, and not for the first time, in an
opprobrious sense, in the article on which We were
commenting. To this inquiry, we could obtain no
response, though we repeated it from day to day,
until all hope of elciting an answer had vanished.
The superservceabe anxiety of our neighbor to con-
tribute to our enlightenment vanished at the first
manifestation of our willingness to profit by it, and
could not be recovered.
A month, perhaps, transpired, when The Times
again put its head out of its shell, and broadly as
serted that the Republican Platform had undergone
transformation since 1856 This ayerment we
promptly contradiced, citing in its refatation the
obvious fact that there had been no Convention or
other National assembage since 1856 with author
ity to modify the Republican Platform; hence it
was not possible that any change should have been
made. Again The Times found relief from an
awkward dilemma in stubborn silence.
On Saturday, however, The Times was embol-
dened to make new demonstration. Its article is
quite long, but its leading propositions are as fol-
lows;
9TH, sSS has d.sPpea,ed Kansas no ouss. n
Congressional legislation for the exclusion Of Slavery o the
Territories has snnued by decision Of the Supfems
Count and even Il theIe territory exposed to
the danger 70 demand its exercise"
To these naked assertions, We oppose notorious
facts Slavery is this day legalized in Kansas and
slaves have been scld there OF at least advertised
for sale, upon legal process, within few
months The blacksmith at Denver last June Of
Russell, Waddell IL Co., Army contractors, was
o slave, and the laws of Territorial Kansas held
him in that condition. Now, the new State of Kan
sas covers hardly third of the Territory of Kan
sas and its Constitution can have no effect outside
of It's own limits The late Territorial Legislature
Of Kansas was, BY the most INSCRIPTIONS and
adroit Democratic maneuSeriDg, hindered from
matu ring its act to abolish Slavery in that Territory;
SO that the old Slave Code remains IN force. We
elieye every Federal Court VIII decide that in adj
ition TO whatever may be made out of the Consti-
utional right of the Shareholders TO take their
uman merchandise into every Territory, the Terri
orial acts of Kansas legalize and establish Slavery
in all that portion of the Territory of Kansas not
included in the embryo State Of like nsme-thst Is,
throughout the Denver or Pixies Peak gold region,
which has already thousands of and
sill soon have hundred thousand. We were per-
'oually informed by Brigham Young last July that
slavery was egalzed and slaves held in the vast
Territory OF Utah. Arizona is now before Congress

that Mr.. Keitt of South Carolina acted as peace
" maker" What il the meaning of thisi Has the
agitation gone far enough to suit our slavehOldng
friends Do they find that the programme Of e1-
element and alarm is likely to prove an unpro6t-
able speculation Have they really discovered
that it is better and safer for Slavery to aay rather
than inhsme existing irritation If so, We shall
be very glad of it, and we will meet the disposition
in 6 corresponding temper But we desire to have
it fully understood that if the South desires crini-
nation, agitation, and general fuss all round, the
North ia quite ready, and not the least alarmed at
it. II, the contrary it desires to meet the North
on pacific terms, and be civil, and decent, and gen.
temanly, the North is quite ready, as it always Ii
ready, for that.

The Grain Crop Of Ohio.

II will be seen that the whole number Of sees

17,G5J4S3 bushels, or an average Of 10 bush

ore third more land was planted the PAST season
than the previous year. II is safe, we think to
estimate the number of acres at 100000. / he
product per acre, after making allowance for the
frosted district. may be stated a. fifteen bushels.
The sid IS admitted 20 be better han So, heu
i; as within fraction OF fourteen bushels The
crop this year IS also very superior in quality -
We may there fore set the crop Of lol9 down al
80 GOO coo bushels of wheat &c excellent quality,
against l. 600 coo Of ordinary quality last year,
and p eco coo 10 1857.
