SECRETARY OF STATE.-In canvsssipg
the claims Of persons for the various
State Offices, we observe that some are
very anxious to fnd Q successor to Mr..
Barker in the Secretary Of States office.
We have no desire to dictate. nor have
we any objection to any person named
for the Office but we believe that all the
opposition to Mr.. Barker is upon person.

was in order, and the office was always

end OF bis first term, when he has but iust
attained that efficiency which experience
alone can produce. Mr.. Barker is . good
officer, and is right politically; we there.

We know that many aspirants are snx.

were not created for the sake of affordiup

Secretary Of State. to whom w,s referred
the concurrent resolution ofthe 18th inst
respecting submission to the Legisla-

to the Constitution Of the United States.
1t will be seen from this report that the

amending the Constitution must be justly

by Senators and representatives. who
have applied for and been refused aami.A
sion to the vacant seats; nor have the
sovereign people Of the nstinn been Afford
ed an opportunity of expressing their
views upon the important questions which
the amendment involves.
Grave doubts therefore may naturally
and justly arise as to whether the action
Of Congress is in harmony with the senti-
ment Of the people. and whether State
Legislatures. elected without reference to
such issue, should be called upon by
Congress to decide respectively the ratifi-
cation of the proposed amendment.

The recent letter of Gov. Crawford

politician declared himself supporter Of

reported that Crawford stood the same

the Governor was absent at Washington,
attending to the interests Of the State,
and knew nothing of the reports in cir
culation at home. The feeling of the
people Of Kansas, and the various little
maneuvres here, are known quicker and
better in Washington than they are 10

ford could not avoid knowing what was
felt and said at home. Radical friends
urged him TO define his position. but
could not get whimp.r from him. At

the scheme for Crawford's reelection was
spoilt, unless he placed himself right be-

effort should be made. To effect this

One YEAR AGo.-On the morning
when we heard Of Lincoln's assassination,
we felt it in our marrow that the Repub-
licsn party was sold, for we never had
any confidence in Andrew johnson. =
Still. we hoped that common propriety
and decency would impel him to live up
to his solemn pledges for few months,
at least. But his secret sympathies and
designs soon began to crop out in various
ways, and all his actious indicated that
he was falling back into the slough out
of which the Republican party had ele-
waited him. On the 4th Of July. 1865,
we put in print the following prediction,
little thinking it woulI come to pass SO
soon, or that johnson himself and his
chief Cabinet officer would be the prime
movers in destroying their party:
Right here, on this fourth day Of
July. in the year of our Lord. 1865. and
OF the Independence OF the United States
Of America the ninelieth. we desire to put
a little prediction upon paper. and re-
guest any one who is interested, to cut it
out and salt it up for future reference:
"Thst in the year Of grace 1868. the
so-called Democratic party, if it does moi
actually elect President Of the United
States. will come so near it as to make
patriots lament to think how soon the
American people can forget the blood and
treasure, the tears and anguish. the sutfer-
ing and horrors. the murders and assassi.
nations. the hypocrisy and meanness Of
the past four years; and the leading men
in bringing abont this result. will be per-
sons holding Office by the appointment Of
Andrew johnson. and will use Govern
ment patronage and Government funds
to and them in their work."
