Post writes, in the interests OF border ruffian.
ISM against admitting Kansas into the Union.
Ofcourse he does not say in plain terms what
he means, but he urges such objections as the
following
" The Wyandotte instrument cuts off the
gold district of the West, and leaves us weak
and feeble community, which, though pos
sessed of as fine and fertile country as ever
the sun shone upon, is yet not sufficiently ad-
yanced to get along without the fostering care
OF the general government"
That gold district of the west" which this
writer talks of including within the limits of
Kansas, is more than five hundred miles be-
yond the most western cabin in that territory,
and just about as naturally part of Kansas,
as Minnesota is of Illinois. The dates in
Greeley's Overland Journey" show that the
express wagon was nine days going from the
Kansas border to Denver But there is some
thing decidedly original in the notion that
Kansas cannot get along without the fostering
care Of the general Gorcrnmeat." This border
rufiian would have Kansas undergo another
Pierce administration, and several new Le-
compton swindes, before being admitted into
the Union. Fostering care of the general
government" indeed! We infer from this
letter, and from some other indications, that
the democratic party in Congress is to be
arrayed against Kansas this winter as hereto
fore.
FROM WAsHINGToN.--The correspondent
of the New York Times, writing Monday
night from Washington, says -
"When Mr.. Seward entered the Senate, to-
day, he was Immediately surrounded by the
Republican Senators, and was warmly con-
graduated on his safe return. After the shak.
ing of hands had been gone through with, he
entered into long and earnest conversation
with Mr. Crittenden. Mr.. Pugh was the only
Democrat who approached. Soon after, Sen
ator Douglas appeared, and similar scene
presented itself on the Democratic side of the
chamber Senators Green, Brown, and Hun.
ter, were the first TO meet the Little Giant
and shake hands"
The Tribune's correspondent says
"Mr. Seward appeared in the Senate for the
first time, today but was studiously avoided
by the Democratic side, Messrs. Douglas and
Pugh only greeting him..

The Times correspondent says
"The city was filed this morning with ru-
mors of a change of position by the Republi-
cans, and that the Speaker would be elected
to-day. Mr.. Seward had urged the policy of
uniting on Mr.. Gilmer or Mr.. Corwin, but af-
ter consultation it was determined to adhere to
Mr.. Sherman, and with him win or lose. The
Republicans say that many of them cannot
support South American and that it would
be useless to vote for Mr.. Corwin. If any
change be made it will be to Mr.. Hickman,
who can control the anti-Lecompton votes. At
present, however, no change need be antici.

THE name of George B. Emerson, L. L. D.,
has been widely mentioned as a candidate for
the presidency of Harvard College.
