The third court will be decided upon, as ‘we are given to understand, in a day or so. The Intelligencer is to-day devoted to news oe WASHLN #TON NEWS AND GOSSIP. “ An Usir Propnecy.—Accounts from Wash- ington represent that Walker confidently predicts Kansas will be a free State. Politicians are pro- verbially jealous of their reputation for sagacity, and as Mr. Walker has in some sort control of the destiny of Kansas, he may contrive to fulfil his prophegy. The prediction at least indicates a disposition of mind which warrants some mis- trust “ Our advices justify the belief that Kansas will be aslave State if the Administration will only allow it fair play. No longer than yesterday, we conversed with a resident of the Territory, who, familiar with its condition and the opinions of its may speak with some authority in the He is confident that Kansas will be a G PRESS. Our friend of The South. from whose columns we clip the above extract. should not take trouble on interest, as he must be doing, if placing the slightest reliance on the truth of the roorbacks from Washington concerning thiggplleged pre- Governor well, are perfectly aware that he does not thus go out of his way to defeat the object for whieh he is sent to Kansas. His proverbial #agacity and great experience as an administra- tive statesman, all who look closely to such matters know, have made him wiser than to volunteer declarations and predictions not only uncalled for, but certain to nullify all prospect of bis successful administration of the affairs of the Territory. Were it believed there that he goes out with his mind fixed as to what must be the result of their present contest over a State constitation, he could not hope to have the least influence over those in the Territory whose views of what is best for its future differ from his alleged foregone conclusions as to the result. He gues there in the well grounded hope that he may prove a pacificator. That, he cannot be, if it should be understood in Kan- sas that his real ein 4 to secure for one party to the legitimate contest, the victory over the ether. He knows too much not to comprehend that such a “ prediction” from his lips in ad- vance of his arrival in the Territory, would in- stantly be set down to account of his personal wishes, rather than to his judgment in the premises, wherein he is no better informed than a hundred thousand persons who have never crossed the Alleghanies. Nor is there the least reason why our friend of The South should entertain a doubt to the real policy of the Administration with reference to Kansas. If upon a single point the present Government has manfully shown its hand, it is in the matter of Kansas. “Fair play”’ there, is its motte, made apparent in all its every mem- ber has individually said and done with refer- ence to Kansas, since entering office. “Fair play” there! was the shibboleth under which the Democracy fought on every stump in the United States last fall, and won the late Presi- dential election. “Fair play’’ there ' can alone held the Democracy of Congress together next Winter ; as, without fair play self-evident in every act of the National Administration with reference to that Territory, the sense of self- Preservation at home will cause nearly every Representative and Senator from either section conceiving itself to be injured (by its failure to be self-evident, as explained above) to abandon the idea of supporting the policy of the Govern- ment. We believe we may safely assure our friend and co-laborer of The South, that it is quite as clearly comprehended here as any where else, that without “fair play” in the policy of the National Administration towards those who seek by legitimate means to incorporate slave- holding provisions in the State constitution not long hence to be framed for Kansas, no five Southern Democratic members of either House will next winter dream of longer continuing the political connection with their Northern party brethren. the consolidation of which is so clearly the great point in the policy of the Ad- ministration of James Buchanan; whose whole thought in connection with Kansas is, indeed, Fair Play, There! Fair Play, There! ComMESDABLE SENTIMENTS AND Souxp Ap- vicr.—We have watched with no little interest the development of the Democratic sentiment of the South with reference to the new adminis- tration, and rejoice to find that it premises well indeed. There can be no doubt of the determi- nation of the whole party in that section of the Union to accord to it full and frank support, being satisfied that its policy as foreshadowed so far will justify them in so doing. The follow- ing remarks upon this subject we take from the South-Side (Petersburg, Va..) Democrat, and we publish them as embracing sound, sensible and commendable views : en oe of _ ite grmcarots administration so far has been such as to challenge the approba- tiea, confidence and respect of tcoaaee The sentiments of his inaugural address have been followed up with such prompt, practical and de- cisive action as to inspire faith in the minds of the people that an experienced and sagacious statesman is at the head of the government fally competent to a successful discharge of its grave, bare fom and responsible functions. + intimately, we had almost said inse rably, connected with the failure or success of Mr. Bu: z ministration are the destinies of the x > Jparty—now the last remaining prop upholding the Government. This y can hardly suxtain the shock of a mal-direction of Federal affairs. Should Mr Buchanan succeed restoring quiet, in dispelling the madness of hour, in calming faction, in turning back the peopie of the North from the yawning chasm toward which they have been ariting’-should he, in a word. bring his administration toa e- ful and harmonious close—he will have not only erected an enduring monument in the hearts of a kateful people, but he will have given a fresh and a long lease to the ascendancy of Democratic P les. But on the other hand, should his stration topple and yo under the wave, is immaterial, so far as regards the result, er it sinks through internal disorders in the ratie party or through the assaults of the om.) we greatly fear the Demoeratic party ouutry will take the same unhappy di- ~+ Never. in our judgment, in the hi tions, wa: a & greater stake that involved in the success or fai ent Administration Whether it wine poy et the issue affects the world. ‘The future tm full of danger and difficulty. Nothing but nerve and wise statesmanship can save the country. “In such acrisis the course of the South is plain, simple and smooth. For the first time in thirty years she is united. while the North is bit- terly and radically divided. Keep the South waited by standing as a unit on her principles, which are the conservative principles of the con. stitution. lately ruled to be right by the highest and last tribunal of appeal and exposition in the country. At present the South stands on the de- fensive. and has the van ground. Nothing but treachery or imbecility ean ruin us. In the meantime our friends should keep cool and united. Ultraism out of place at this jancture may furnish the pretext for division in the South, and will be an deeply injurious as submission itself.

Regmart, of Wisconsin, Receiver of Public what it knew #0 weil was to have been his pol- iey upon all conceivable points, it now pro- claims its horror over the shocking prospect for the country for the ensuing four years, as seen through its quizzing glass! Rynders was appointed, according to the Cox- rier, for the express purpose of showing the world that the administration pay no more re- gard to the obligation of the law, than if its members were, instead, members of the band of Three-fingered Jack—simply to aid and abet the higher lawism of fillibustering; while Presi- dent Buchanan and his constitutional advisers are rubbing their noses together here in Wash- ington, over a grand scheme to enable the bor- der Ruffian to enslave every mother’s son of the free State he-settlers in Kansas, in order to sell them to the cotton planters of Alabama, and to make up for the scarcity of beef in the Territory by breakfasting, dining and supping daily, upon Yankee women and children! Terrible times easy Sass SSR Such is the gist of the Cowrier’s views upon current political topics of most general interest. Do people of common sense wonder that the Courter is prone to be on the losing side in politics, when its conductors evince so great want of “‘nous’’ as to expect that the class of citizens who are its patrons—men of practical sense and general information—will place con- fidence in its views of public affairs! The wonder-mongering of the Heradd is amusing on account of its impudence, and disgusting for its mendacity. Thatof the Courier, on the other hand, is refreshing in its greenness, and inter- esting, exceedingly so, as illustrating the ex- treme of fully to which a newspaper having aclaim to position as an instructor of society can go. in this country, without being jeered and hovted out of existence. with the Conrter in politics almost invariably fail before the people, because they believe the | terrible monstrosities they manufacture. The people know too much to trust the destinies of the country in the hands of persons as suscepti- ble to foolish impressions against their adver- saries as they are, evidently. In the absence of a theatre in Washington, and with the dull season coming apace upon us, we advise our fel- low citizens to subscribe fur the Courier, that the shaking of its dignified head and the wry faces it is just now wearing over the terrible po- litical prospects of the country at large. may serve as an antidote for their cxnwe. Taeir Gaxe sot PLayep Ovt.—Gov. Geary, according to the newspapers, is engaged at the North in retailing to the letter writers of the Abolition press his budget of slanders upon the people of Kansas who would not or could not see the propriety of throwing overboard those who had proved themselves worthy, and uni- ting upon him, as one of their candidates for the United States Senate from Kansas when ad- mitted into the Union asa State. In Chicago, according to one of his correspondential amen- uenses, he went a few inches further than when in Washington, and abused thé administration as roundly as, while here, he contented himself with abusing those whose offence was demur- ring to his plans of personal advancement and to his efforts to palliate the murder, of poor young Sherrod, and to screen the gang of his immediate coterie who were aiders and abettors as well as principals in the per- petration of that cowardly and heartless act. He evidently aims to become a second Reeder in the estimation of abolitionism ; the “ original Jacobs" having died out politically, like the dirty snuff of a dip candle. His (Reeder’s) light is no more seen (in the newspapers.) while even the offensive odor his career in Kansas generated in the nostrils of all honest people who are not crazed on the slavery question, is well nigh entirely forgotten. Geary is to be their next grand agitator; and not having been endowed, like his distinguished predecessor, with a gift of gab. he essays to make his de- | sired Abolition capital through the pens of | writers for the Free Soil press, rather than upon the stump. That he is in the course of | the current year to be bubbled into a hero— though he did run away from Kansas on the first occasion wherein the stuff he is made of was tested—is already apparent. Our impres- sion is that he is destined to make even a poorer hero than Reeder was. That he will never be- come more than a five days’—not a nine days’ wonder. By the by. he tells the truth in asserting that the Administration rejected his advice with ref- erence to Kansas affairs. That’s evident in the selections so recently made of new federal offi- cers for the Territory, every man of whom is a Democrat of the right stamp; entertaining no sympathy with abolitionism, and evidently op- posed to alb Geary's schemes for his personal political advancement. Nicaracva.—On Saturday night last we compiled accounts from Nicaragua from the most reliable dates then within reach here, ar- riving from it to the conclusion that the first re- ports coming by the steamship Texas were sweepingly false. It seems that by yesterday morning the New York city papers very gener- ally adopted a like opinion. We find in the Tribune an account from the immediate vicin- ity of Rivas two days later than the alleged date of the bogus brilliant victory of Walker, which is evidently to be relied on, as it is the narative of a native gentleman who has long favored the fillibusters, and is a man of high | standing and character at home. His story ix as follows : “‘ Our informant had been in Gen. Canas's camp at Virgin Bay and St. George several days pre- vious to his departure on the ISth. At that time it was not known where Waiker and his men were. A few days reviously, finding themselves in a starving condition, being cut off from ob- taining supplies by the scouting Parties of the Costa Ricans, Walker had evacuated Rivas with the intention of forcing his way, if Possible, to Rosario—a point about seven miles from San Juan del Sur—where he hoped at least to find food for his men. This movement was observed by the Costa Rican scouts, who fell back upon the main body of the allied forces. The allies at once marched to intercept Walker, who, hearing that they were advancing, made an inettectual attempt to reach Rivas. In the mean time, a gueciila Party of Costa Ricans—ten of which are con- stantly moving along the transit road to fire upon the small arties of Walker's men who are sent out to obtain supplies, and to intercept the re- cruits from California—having discovered that Walker had left Rivas, entered the town, and, either by accident or design, the remaining part of the city was set on fire. The opinion of the allies at Virgin Bay, when our informant left. was that the fllibusters were malting a desperate Moneys at Hudson, Wisconsin, vice Otis Hoyt, resigned, to take effect on the Ist of May, 1857.
