THE WEEKLY 8TAR. : Our weekly of to-day affords a complete epi- tome of the affairs of the week, domestic and foreign, with a tempting array of literary and miscellaneous matter. It is just the paper for the country. Price only $1.25 a year— single copies three cents. —- +02 -—___- SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in reply to the assertions— “ That the agitation, disorder, violence, and even bloodshed, which have marked the brief history of Kansas, are to be solely attributed to the organic laws of the Territory, and that the murders, assassinations, house-burnings, bogus delegates, bogus legislatures and bogus senators, as the legitimate fruits of the - tical enforcement of the popular-sovereignty principle,’” urges that it— ‘Is opposition to, not actyuiescence in, the c= principle imbodied in the Kansas-Ne- raska bill, which has caused all the recent difficulties which ‘iotie men in every sec- tion of the Union have viewed with the deep- est solicitude, and which have been fomented and heralded with fiendish exultation by the abolitionists of New York and New England. In Nebraska, which has the same organic laws as her sister Territory of EK: and which has thus far been regarded as a profit- less field for the nefarious agitations of aboli- tionism, the wisdom, patrictism, and sound republicanism of the popular-sovereignty i ciple have been fully and triumphantly illus- trated. What the people of Kansas want, in order to attain a degree of ye ema and prosperity commensurate with their intelli- gence, enterprise, and the great natural ad- vantages by which they are surrounded, is tu be let alone—to be free from the traitorous in- fiuence of the New England Emigrant Aid Society—te'be secure from the plots and de- vices of men armed with Sharpe’s rifles, and goaded to murderous mischief by the studied ravings of the New York Tribune and the blasphemous, fanatical exhortations of the Beechers, Parkers, Duttons, and the other reverend violators of the laws of God and their country.” The Intelligencer, in an article headed “ The Outrages in Kansas,’’ says : ‘ From the accounts of the late acts of vio- lence in Kansas, which are coming to us by the mails, it appears that, whatever may have been the folly of any attempt to resist the law by the people of Kansas—it any such attempt were made in the present case—the Marshal’s posse converted themselves into a mob rather than a body of conservators of the peace ”” The Intelligencer quotes from the Missouri Democrat, of May 27, the particulars of the entrance of the posse into the town of Law- renee, and thinks— “ Their proceedings in enforcing ‘law and order,’ as here related, cannot meet the sanc- tion of the people of any section of the coun- try when , Passion and prejudice shall have subnded. rr or WASHINGTON NEWS AND GO3SIP The Point of Honor.—It often happens in human affairs that perfectly guileless and well-meaning men are captivated with certain ideas which are for the first time presented totheir minds, and finding that numbers of their fellow men to all appearances are simi- larly affected, they act upon the impulse and unreflectingly commit themselves to those ideas in such a manner as afterwards to find it difficult to relinquish them, even when their fallacy begins to stare them palpabiy in the face. Some, jumping suddenly to wrong con- clusions, are quick to perceive their error; yet they have a kind of pride which forbids the admission of the fact unless to persons who they are sure will never taunt them with it, and they fear that a spot may be cast upen their honor if they forsake the wrong even when they know it to be such. Young men especially, who fall into erroneous ways of thinking and acting, are often deterred from abandoning them by this false shame and groundless apprehension; but those who are thus operated on by such causes generally manage to stultify themselves for life, while they who are willing to relinquish a wrong course and seek the radiant path of truth sel- dom fail to attain an honorable pogition in life, where, fortified by reason and experience, they are able to withstand all assaults on their honor or consistency. How many young men have been deluded into the ranks of Know Nothingism, from a belief that it was their duty to oppose them selves to foreigners; never dreaming of the injustice they were about to do to their native fellow citizens of the Catholic faith ! How many young men of foreign-born pa- rents thought to propitiate the anti- foreign feeling by joining the hue and ery of those who, through interested motives, two years go commenced hunting down a class which included their own fathers and mothers, and Bow regret the course they have pursued ! How many Christians have allowed them- selves to be led off by sectarian animosity into the turbid waters of Know Nothingism, where their garments of spiritual purity have been sadly seiled ; and now their influence is much impaired ! How many ardent disciples of liberty have lent themselves to the designs of grovelling bigots, while the cause which they most cher- ish is suffering for the want of united efforts! How many Whigs, through mere opposition to the Democrats, have become the defenders of political doetrines which, as Whigs, they sbhorred and condemned ! How many Democrats, through the real or fancied neglect which they supposed they had suffered, have rashed into a fold where they are obliged to defend dogmas of political faith which they have all their lives de- nounced, and now in their hearts detest! How many men of all ages, who set a high value upon their Yeracity and honesty, have since found themselves involved in labyrinths of deceit by the Pledges and obligations im- posed upon them by the Know Nothing order, and bound by artfully-contrived engagements and platforms to keep good faith with persons who in a long life were never known to ob- serve it politically or otherwise; and how many would gladly separate themselves from such ignoble associations! To all such we say cut loose the cords by which you are bound, and leave that party— “ Stand Ba poe pe on order of your going, Leave publicly, if you will; leave private- ly, if you will; leave loudly or silently, but leave. Friends, sympathy, respectability— and, above all, self-respect—await your s0 doing. Perhaps you will be astonished soon & find how many of the best men of your or- der have preceded you in this course, and how many more of the same kind are moving with you Retain your independent political and religious opinions—your views of right aod wrong on every question which iz sul- ihitted to your judgment—if you choose; but do not remainin the power of the wretched Political jugglers and mountebanks who have been making catspaws of you, and who still wish to place themselves in power and posi- fn through a reputation which is borrowed solely from your previous personal and indi- vidual respectability. The path of duty is plain; and by following that the point of honor is maintained. Make your rational sober second-thought felt in the election on Monday next by securing the olec- tion of Dr. Magruder, and you will be re- leased from the tyranny forever. An Absurd Intimation. —It seems to us that the suggestion that the forthcoming Con- vention at Cincinnati has hastened or retard- ed, orin any way influenced President Pierce in his public action in relation to the dismis- sal of Mr. Crampton and the offending Consuls, is ag ungracious as it is unwarranted by facts. By reference to the printed documents of the Senate it will be seen that seven dispatches have been written by Governor Marcy in the enlistment controversy. The first was dated June 9th, 1855, the second July 15th, the third September 5th, the fourth September 8th, the fifth October Ist, the sixth October 13th, and the seventh December 28th. The final reply of Lord Clarendon, to the dispatch of Gover nor Marcy of the 28th December, 1855, was not dated till the 30th of last month, and not received in Washington till less than two weeks since. Certainly no one can pretend to believe that the correspondence was one year since ar- ranged so asto terminate at this precise period of tfme, to wit: four days before the as- sembling of the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati. Such a theory contemplates an understanding with Lord Palmerston, Lord Clarendon, and Mr. Crampton, that a great international dispute was so to be conducted as to effect the deliberations of a party con- vention. Another intimation, which we have seen, te the effect that the determination itself of the President in the enlistment controversy was influenced, if not controlled, by ‘the con- ceived necessities of the President's political Position,” impresses us as being quite as un- gracious and unjust. Whatever other alle- gations may be made of President Pierce, we think no conscientious man, familiar with the events of his public career, can successfully make the charge that his policy has been either time-serving or temporizing. No hon- est man ean believe that, in a matter of such vast concernment as that to which we refer, General Pierce would pause to consider what consequences would betide him individually. We think, teo, we detect a little of the spirit of faction in the suggestion that there has been evinced by long delay in the action of our public authorities, a want of “ deci- sion of purpose.’’ Surely two weeks cannot be thought too long a time for the President to hold under advisement and deliberation the determination of so grave a controversy. We fell sure that the country will decide that President,Pierce has conducted the cor- respondence and given final judgment in this misunderstandiag with Great Britain, with great wisdom, courtesy, calmness, and firm- ness The Canal Question —‘he Alcrandria Gazette copies our editorial of Wednosday, on the subject of the canal, saying : ‘“« The article on the subject of the Chesa- peake and OhioCanal. in another column, will be generally approved of. Any thing to take the control and manegement of that work out of the hands of party, and intrust its concerns to those only who are efficient and qualified We should rejoice to see politics banished from the Canal at least.’’ It is pleasant to find ourselves agreeing with our neighbors, if nly occasionally, and we take pleasure therefore in making record of the fact. We conceit that we understand, with the Gazette, the true use and value of politics, and should as soon think of giving a lady, because of her grace and beauty, the com- mand of the war steamer Minnesota, as of putting a politician, because of his political skill, in command of a great canal. But are we to be held, for that, as under- valuing grace and beauty on the one hand, or political ability on the other? God forbid! They are both well in their places, and that we may not be imagined capable of drawing any invidious distinctions between them we say frankly that we would just as soon see the Politician assigned to the war steamer, and a lady to the canal. The Board of Public Works of Maryland is going to elect somebody, at our City Hall, on Monday next at noon. Segretary Marcy’s Letter of Dismissal to Mr Crampton.—The following is the official dismissal of Mr. Crampton, the British Min- ister: DEePaRTMeNt or State, Wasuineton, May 28, 1856 } Sin :—The President of the United States has directed me to announce to you his deter- mination to discontinue further intercourse with you as Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Repre- sentative tothe Government of the Unleed States. The reatons which have compelled him to take this step at this time have been communicated to your government. T avail myself of this ocoasion to add that due attention will be cheerfally given to any communications addressed to this partment from Her Majesty's Government affecting the relations between Great Britain and the United States, which may be forwarded to this Goy- ernment through any other channel. Should it be your desire to retire from the United States the President directs me to furn- ish you with the usual facilities for that pur- pose. I consequently enclose herewith the passport in such cases . I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, sir, the assurance of m respectful con- sideration. u. L. Marcy. To John F. Cramptoa, Esq., Her M jesty’s Minister, eto. Eee as es Importent Decision —A circular has jast been issued by the General Land Office, stat- ing that by the act of March 22, 1852, land warrants and locations, not pre-emptive, are assignable ; but it is the decision of the De- partment, that where locations are made by pre-emptors of their righte under the act of September 4, 1841, such pre-emption locations are uot assignable, for the reason that there is an express inhibition in the said act of 1841 “gs inst the transfer of pre-emptions. Not Approved.—The Washington corres- pondent of the Baltimore Sun, « Ton,” is again in error in the statement that the Pres- ident has signed “the bills granting lands for railroad purposes to the several States of Wis- consin, Alabama, Louisiana, and Michigan,” Neither of theso bills baw yet been signed by the President. Texas Debt.—The Treasury Department will, we learn, commence on Monday (the first of June fulling on Sunday,) the liquida- tion of the debt due to the creditors of the late republic of Texas, payment of which is provided under the act of Congress of the 28th of February, 1855. The amount appropriated, it will be recollected, is $7,750,000, which is to be divided pro rata among the holders of |’ the certificates. Interior Department.—Samuel Cole, Esq., the efficient Chief Clerk of the Pension Bu- reau, has been appointed by the President to act as Commissioner of Pensions during the temporary absence of the Hon. Josiah Minot, on a visit to his family in Coneord, New Hampshire. An Army Officer Resigned.—The resigna- tion of Captain Samuel G. French, assistant quartermaster and first lieutenant third ar- tillery, has been accepted by the President, to take effect May 31, 1856.
