Favorable SLICES,

We are very happy to have it in our
power tv say that the Governments here
has becontc satisfied that all danger OF
hostile collision between its forces and
those engaged IN the secession move.
mtcnt is rapidly disappearing. The rev.
oluticnary authorities Of South Caro-
lima have entirely changed their policy,
and arc now striving to prevent and
avoid the collision in Charleston har-
Dor, that they were evidently striving
to prccipitate mp to very recently. Il
is believed that this change of their
tactics is the result Of the growing dc
sire of the people South Carolina for a
settlement of the difficulties without the
permanent destruction of the Union
and that it means that the revolutionary
authorities Of that State arc acting IN
der the advice Of leading sympatlizcrs
with their cause in other States, max.
ing it plain4o them that their late ap.
parent desire to rush the country into
civil wal was rapidly uniting the CON
crvatives Of every Southern State, rs

tinction Of party, against the nominal

SEWARD,S

Mr.. Seward delivered a speech in tho
u. S. Senate on the 18th iEst. We
have read it with considerable care and
admire it in every particular, unless it
be its extreme conservativeness. We
have said and think still, that these are
times for action, for asserting our full
rights. The South has created the ex-
element for the purpose Of making
northern men bow to their peculiar in
stitution, and in order not to be over
ridden by their insulting aggressions. it
i. necessary to stand up for our rights
and principles, and make the asgressors
undo their wrongs.
W. know, however, that MI. Sew
ard acts from an honest heart, and sng-
gests such > course as to him seems
best.
In his speech he dwclls largely onthc
magnitude importance and greatness Of
Jul JtsISlCu ) bIO NAC WCNAtCSSs ltISIX.
nifcancy and expense Of conducting
smaller confcderacy's. He avows his
faith in the Republican platform and
party : asserts that the South are dis
satisfied with Lincoln's election, and
then shows that in every particular he
was constitutionally elected. lie avows
his Willingness to have all State laws
repealed that conflict with the Constitu.
ton OF the United States. Is in favor
Of restoring fugitive slaves, bnt recon-
mends that the present fugitive slave
law be shorn Of some Of its most objec-
tionablc features.
He favors two Pacific Railways. His
speech was as conciliating - the most
conservative Republican a ask, and
it i. supposed by many to foreshadow
the incoming administration.

Kansas, "Hlecding Kansas really is
almost in the Union. She stands by
permission upon the threshold, with the
door ajar. A little more ceremony by
the House in opening it, and the nod Of
assent from the Prcsident,s.a nd she will
be fairly admitted to form the thirty
fourth member ofour great family. she
has proved a serious scourge to the
Democracy. They sought by the re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise in 1854
to make her = slave State but she would
not. They endcavored to force her to
these terms by law)ess mobs, yet she
would not. They tried to awe her into
submission at the will Of the Slave oil
ga,chy, by Federal troops, still she
would not. They sought to convert
her to the black faith, tempting her GU
pidity with national gifts and great
bounties, and yet she would not. They
are at length compelled to admit her in
to our family circle with the same spot
less robes she has always worn, enclos-
ing the same great heart of freedom
she has always exhibited.
She has had . burden Of Governors
Recdcr, Shannon, Geary, Stanton, Wal
ker, Denver and Mcdary. She has
been agitated in turn with the Topeka,
Leavenworth, Lecompton and Wyan-
dott Constitutions !; and it j. with the
latter a free State constitution, hat
she is about to triumph.
The bill for her admission has passed
the House. On the 2lst inst. it pass
ed the Senate with a small amendment,
which:it is said is really intended to
make John Petit the U. 5. District
Judge Of the new State for during life.
It is thought the House will not concur
in this and the Senate will be obliged
10 recede which it will probably do.
It then will only wait the signature Of
the President, which undoubtedly will
be attached to it.
Its boundaries will be the 41st paral
lei Of latitude on the North, the State
Of Missouri on the East, the 37th paral-
lei Of latitude on the South, and the 23d
meridian of longitude from Washing
ton, on the West; thus cutting off the
region Of Pixies Peak. II embraces an
area Of about sixty thousand square
miles; which is thirteen thousand moro
than the State Of New York, and .
little more than nine thousand more
than the State Of Iowa. \. But two
States, California and Texas. and pos
sihly ~ may add Oregon are larger.
