These proposed amendments to the Constitution
are to be submitted to Congress If thcy re-
ceive a two-thrds vote in each House. they will
go to the States. If they are then concurred in
by 90 States, they will be parts of the Consti
tuition.
These compromises" are expected to quiet
the existing agitations, bring peace to the dis
tracted country, retain the border slave States
in the Union, and induce the seeded States to re-
trace their steps and fraternize with Black Re
publicanisn. In our opinion, the proposed ad-
justment falls very far short of meeting the ex-
igency Of the hour. We have never believed,
however, that the Peace Congress would agree
upon any thing that could command the assent
of the Northern States, and, at the same time,
be acceptable to the South The composition
of the body was not such as to Justify the be-
lief that it would produce any thing but swim
die. The delegates of the free States were
mostly fanatical Black Republicans, while those
of the border slave States, with few honorable
exceptions, were notorious submissionists, who
were far more anxious to preserve the Union
than to vindicate the rights of the South. They
met and they wrangled for two weeks. They
sent kilograms all over the country, announcing,
with prodigiOus flourish of trumpets, that they
were certainly going to do something. Finally,

The South, hitherto, has contendcd for the
right of her people to 60, with their slaves, in
to all the Territories and insisted that it was the
duty of the General Government to protect sla-
very there. Now, it is modcstly proposed that
the North shall be permitted to appropriate all
the territory lying above the line of SO: 80,
while Southern emigrants shall be allowed to
take their slaves into the territory lying below
that line, and to hold them there, prOri9ed the
common law, as expounded by the Federal Judi
ciary, shall be held to recognize the rights of
the slave owner. The common law, as every in
telligent man is aware, is constantly appealedto,
in the free States, as being opposed to slavery.
Judges, in Old and New England and through
out the North solemnly declare that "the com

The New Postage Law.

The Congress of the Confederacy has pass
ed an act to fix the rates of postage upon
matter transported in the mails. The law
will take effect ''from and after such period
as the Postmaster General may by procama-
ton announce" The following is brief alb
stract Of its provisions, so far as they relate
to letters, newspapers, and books:
Single letters, not exceeding half ounce
in weight, under 600 miles, 5 cents; over
500 miles, 10 cents. Every additional half
ounce in weight to be charged with an addi-
tional single postage. 'All packages contain,
ing other than printed or written matter, in
GLIDING money packages, are to be charged
with double the rates of postage on letters.
"Drop letters" are charged with postage of
two cents. All these hostages are to be pre-
paid by stamps. Advertised letters pay an
additional charge of two cents.
Weekly newspapers, mailed to actual sub
scribers within the State where the paper is
published, pay six and half cents per quar-
ter. Subscribers out Of the State where the
paper is published will be charged double
that rate. Semi-wcesiy, tri-weckly, and dali
ly papers, viii be charged, respectively, twice,
thrice, and six times as much as weekies.-
Periodicals, not exceeding one and a half
ounces in weight, and published monthly,
pay three cents per quarter: scmi-monthly,
double that rate; bi-monthly and quarterly
periodicals, one cent an ounce; aud these
rates arc to be doubled " here the subscriber
does not receive his periodicals in the State
of publication. Subscribers are to pay a
quarters postage in advance. Transient pa.
pers ETC., not exceeding three ounces, pay
two cents each, in stamps.
Books, bound or unbound, not weighing
over four pounds, arc charged two cents per
ounce, to be prepaid with stamps.
Newspaper exchanges are free.
The flanking privilege is not to be cxer-
cised, except by Post Office officials, and in
regard to official business.

"StarVing Kansas"

1t has not been long since the Northern papers
teemcd with pitcous appeals in behalf of "blced-
ing Kansas" The unhappy Territory was re-
presented as being ovcrrun by hordes Of ruth
less "border ruifians," who were wantonly
butchcring every man, woman and child that re-
fused to bow the knee to slavery. Blood
the blood of :" free. State martyrs" in all cases
was flowing in torrents; and Sharps rifles
were prescribed, by Beechcr and other pious
DOCTORS as the only styptc applicable to the case
Emigrant Aid Societies sent forward thousands
Of men without means, to vote and fight for
freedom" They were not genuine "setters."
Not such as they were the hardy pioneers who
subdued the virgin forests Of the other new
States They were abandoned williams and cut
throats, like Montgomery and John Brown, of
Internal memory, or unmtigated liars, like Red
path and other correspondents of the Tribune.
They were men who diversified the monotony of
murder by robbery and theft, and who were
terror to all honest citizens. They have sue
ceeded in their purpose TO make Kansas free
State. Kansas no longer "blceds." She is
now playing the STARVATION" role. The brig
ands who "scttlcd" the State having carried
the system of plumber so far that it is no longer
profitable, and having disdained to cultivate the
soil, now find themselves rinched for food. APP
peals are made to Congress- to the Legislatures
Of other States and to the American people, to
contribute large sums for the relief of starving
Kansas" Lies Of the most unblushiug charac-
ter are put forth in regard to tic condition Of the
people Of Kansas, and the supplies that are for
wardcd b. benevolent dupcs arcappropriated by
the same unpriEcipled wretches whose crimes
have desolaicd the land That there is distress
in Kansas we can readily believe; but that it
exists, to any appreciate extent among any
but the bogus citizens who we're sent there in
the interest Of abOIitionism, we have not the
slightest reason for believing. Some of this
class, perhaps, are starving. 1twould have
been well for the country if they had been starry
ed dozen years ago.
