Nor EtD OF RosEs.-It is lid that Mr.. Bu-
chanan, year ago or more, in conversation
with friend or two upon the suicidal SQUAD
bles Of the demoralized democracy, declared
that be was counting the daysto the day of his
deivcrance from the incessant cares and bur
dens of his labor'ous Office. No one then
supposed him TO be resting upon bed OF
roses; but who il there. among our ambi-
tious politicians, who would voluntarily
change places with him now? His Secretary
of the Treasury, anticipating the secession Of
Georgia from the Union, anu pleading his para
mount allegiance to his State, resigns his post,
and his successor comes into his place only to
find ;hat the Treasury Is literally empty, and
over head and ears in debt. Mr.. buchanan dis
misses ar. Cobb with regret; but no sooner is
this vacancy filed than the old Nestor Of the
Cabinet, General Cas-, delivers up his port
folio as Secretary Of State. The reason
for his retirement is reported TO be the refusal
of Mr.. buchanan to strengthen the garrison OF
Fo,t Moultrie, at Charleston. Nor i this all
Rumors are abundant Of the resignation, and
the contemplated resignation of Secretary
III, mpson, of the Department Of the Interior,
and because the President has ordered, or is
alb, ut 10 order, ship-ofwar to Charleston.
Who can envy Mr.. Buchanan his undesirable
responsibilities and difficulties at this crisis
But believing him to be right in his opinion
thai Cancellation, and not coercion. Is the pro-
per policy TO be pdrsued towards the South,
including South Carolina, we say let him stand
he ground and avoid gunpowdcr to the last
extremity. Tie republican party are using
their utmost energies to compel him to break
ground for them in their policy Of coercion
Mr.. Lincoln, they tell US, will not hesitate in
adopting It. Then. if possible, let the honor of
opening civil war be lefi to the choice Of Mr.
Lincoln.

HE "lRREPREssIBLE CosFLicr' IN THE RE-
fuSI1cAS CAMr.-Our readers will perceive that
there arc symptoms of deadly conflict between
the moderate men and the ultras Of the repub-
lican camp at Washington, and that this week
the war is expected to break out. Let il come;
for the speedy dissolution of this apti-slsyery
republican party would be the best of all COM
promises for the Union.

THE DISTRESS IN KANsAs-PRopucrs or Re-
PUBLICAN PoIIcY.-Afew evenings since meet
ing was held in the Cooper Institute for the re-
lief Of the suffering people Of Kansas. and
goodly sum Of money was raised for that pur
pose. The charity and benevolence of New
York are proverbial; no appeal to the sympathy
Of its citizens is ever made in vain. There can
be no doubt that the people of Kansas are in
great destitution-in absolute need Of food
and II is but right that their claim for assist
ance should meet a response such as has been
accorded to them. But what are the causes
from which their present distress has sprungs
1t is due entirely to the course which the re-
publican party have chosen to pursue with re
gard to that Territory, for purely political pur-
poses.
The republican party, by means of cmigrant
aid societies, Beecher's sermons, Sharps rifles
and other exciting agencies, poured host of
emigrants numbering some thirty or forty
thousand, into Kansas for the avowed purpose
OF excluding slavery from a Territory which
the cdct Of God has declared can never exist
there which the laws OF nature, governing soil,
and climate and geographical position, have
pronounced impossible there and they have
done this to build up political party and
raise up issues upon an abstraction, to defy and
cmbarrass the administration, and to gain
power and importance for themselves. The
Territory Of Kansas therefore i to-day over
Gene with a population far beyond it, re-
sources to maintain. a population, too, which,
unfortunately for themselves in this exigency,
devoted more time 10 political broils and civil
discord than to the cultivation Of the land 1t
is no wonder then that hunger and distress
reign IN Kansas.
But il happens that the very same party,
and the pursuance of the same policy which
brought about this state of things in Kansas,
and have reduced its inhabitants to the neces-
si.y Of appealing to the sympathies of their
prernreu in lbe States, and even of that admi-
njstra,ion which they went out there to deride
and damage. have at this moment spread dis
tress and panic throughout tho whole breadth
Of the land. 1t is the action of the republican
party which has arrested the course of trade,
eau sed all the material interests of the country
to depreciate to tie amount Of six hundred
millions of dollars. the factories to cease work,
to turn out hungry into the streets Of this
metropolis and the other commercial and manu-
featuring cities Of the Union thousands of
operatives. with hungry families looking up
to them for bread to disorganize every system
and destroy every interest il the entire repub-
lie, the recovery of which no man can see. 1t
is not to the thirty or forty thousand sufferers
alone in TIE Territory Of Kansas that the
policy of the republican party has brought
want and hunger and embarrassment, but 10
thirty millions Of people in the United States.
II is not the Kansas people alone who will
have TO look TO the charitable and benevolent
for assistance, but millions of unemployed
poor in our own cities and towns before this
dreary winter Is past.

gentle shepherd was not to be gagged
by the South, and he wound up with "fer-
vent prayer for the slave and for "our rulers"
putting the slave first. Perhaps the Rev. Mr..
S.ockbridge referred TO Kirk when he prayed
'.for the restraint Of those who would uuwisely
irritate the feelings of any one," and perhaps
not AT any rate the meeting adjourned in
rather an agreeable state of mind, singing the
old fashioned Puritan anthem, Coronation"
We are very much inclined to doubt the
efficacy Of the prayers of people who
have done their best to pull down
the shrine, and now profess certain degree Of
pious anxiety that the edidce they have helped
TO undermine may yet stand firm. Doubtless
they all agreed in their hearts with Kirk, WIZ

BRHAcH OF PROMISE CAsH.-The Northamp.
ton (Mass.) Free Press reports suit brought
in the Superior Court By Lydia French against
Lucius w. Stone, for breach of promisa OF
marriage, damages being laid at $4,000. The
trial took place last week. 1t was shown that
the parties became engaged Ave years ago, and
that from that time up to January. 1858, an
active correspondence was kept up, Mr.. Stone
being an ardent lover, and from three hun.
dred to four hundred letters were written by
them. The engagement was broken OF by LETT
ter ON the part of Mr.. Stone, in January. 1859,
on the plea of financial dif1culties and sbodi-
u infirmity." These, however, did not prevent
his marrying another young lady in Septem.
Der Of the same year. Stone acknowledged
that he had committed a wrong In breaking
on the engagement, and offered i've hundred
dollars as . reparation. Miss French and her
friends considered this insufficient and
brought suit against him. The jury returned

GROWING HOSTILITY or THE JAPANESE AU.
THoRITIEs TOWARDS THE TREATY PowxRs.-
II can hardly be doubted, says the North China

ffom the japanese official interference. The
mobiles are jealous of the freedom Of foreign.

and exclaimed, Let us rid ourselves Of these
treaties or fight for freedom" is not an idle
story. 'Muskets and rifles are now equally a.
