That is, it has been a consistent pi iticator that, in the end, Southern imatitutions are to be ruled out of the Territory, and non-slavehold- ing views are to govern in the formation of its State constitution. However much we feel called on to thank the conductors of that jeur- nal for the perfect fairness with which they have conducted the Free-State party canvass in the matter of the future formation of that con- stitution, it is undeniable that such has been their proclivity. They are for allowing the South a perfectly fair show in that contest; but, nevertheless, consistently against the South in it, from first to last. We deem it necessary to call public attention to that fact, because, now that there appears a probability that its wish in this connection (which is father to its thought) may be disappointed, through its Washington correspondent it is suggesting a sort of ‘com- promise’ on the Kansas slavery question, as follows ‘There is some talk here of a compromise to be made, with the prior assent of the Adminis- tration, of the Kansas question, by providing, in the State constitution, for a limitation to the exis- tence of slavery in the State, and its future exclu- sion. Privete rights existing will, by this mode, ve a The owners of the few slaves in the Territory will thus be enabled to remove uformity with the example of the » which, when they abolished slavery, did it by fixing a future day for the en- forcement of the act. and thus enabled the North- erm proprietors of slaves to sell them to Southern planiers—which they did, as was fully shown in the Missouri discussions in Congress, in 1820."° Again, on the 25th ult., this same correspon- dent wrote from this city as follows: *- Southern pro-slavery men in Kansas now show @ disposition for a compromise of the slavery question, as I have heretofore mentioned. They say, with much reason, that if they find they can- not make Kansas a slave State, they do not wish to destroy the Democratic party by the attempt. “The pro-slavery men will of course have a majority of the Convention, or the whole body, if the free soilers persist in their refusal to take part in the election. The Convention can, however, easily find, from the results of the census, whether they are likely to maintain the ascendancy of the pos-slavesy Party. If not, they would be wise hemselves to form a free State Constitution. and thus at once take the wind out of the sails of the Republicans. They wculd, of course, preserve the rights of the owners of slaves now in the Ter- ritory *- To whatever extent they may admit slavery. they may provide for another Convention at some future time «It is suggested also that when the Constitution is submitted to the people, asit undoubtedly will be, the day for the popular vote on the question, tay be fixed three months after the adjournment of the Convention, and under some roper mode of receiving the full expression of the wishes of the actual inhabitants. * Mr. Stanton remarks, in his address, that the Constitution to be adopted by the Convention will certainly Ly ean y Congress, and therefore, he advises the Free State men to vote for dele- es. But this must depend on circumstances. if the Constitution be not submitted to the people of the ey, for their sanction, Congress might not approve of it, nor admit the Territory into the Union as a State.”’ As, without explanation, it will be conceived at the South that the writer from whom we quote above in his familiar discourse about “‘the prior assent of the Administration,” essays to reflects its views after due consultation, it may not be amiss for us to say that all in Washing- ton who know aught concerning the real senti- now recommend the old Virginia remedy, which ‘never tires’ in the absorption of missma. The knowledge of this fact will be, te the sevan who is “ up to snuff"in one, - cal t pleasure and profit, oe ; and will afford himy from actual ob- servation, the data for another theme fora pop- ular rural paper on bees and homey. Clover is a more powerful absorbent of miasma than the human system. Therefore, to set the ground near residences in clover attains the object de- sired, and, if well manured and freely plastered, servatory grounds of seventeen acres, (: such beds as may be required for flowers,) will yield more money than the officer in charge i is allowed as salary, besides effectually accom- plishing that which he who knows all things ex- pects from the helianthus. In the pages of the of the quantity of clover an acre will yield, and the best mode of cultivation; likewise, all about the industrious little busy bee. Honey sells for perhaps 20 cents per pound, and clover hay from $1 to $1.25 per hundred in the Washington market. Waar Saati Be Dose wita Uran?—We are satisfied that the more public attention iscalled to the condition of things in the Territory of Utah, the more apparent will be the wisdom of the action of President Pierce in relation to it. The declination by Major McCulloch of the commission to be Governor of the Territory, tendered him by President Buchanan, is a sig- nificant announcement of the fact that it will be next to impossible to find any man in civil life fitted to be Governor of that disordered community, who can or will accept the appoint- ment. Utah has little to offer to any man in return for the danger and hardship an efficient discharge of the duties of Executive of the Ter- ritory would impose upon him. President Pierce, we have reason to believe, appreciated all this, and was convinced that the only method by which the services of an able, wise, cireum- spect, judicious and efficient Governor could be secured.—one who would not fail to administer the laws of the United States in justice and in mercy,—was to appoint an officer of the Army, and allow him to retain his rank in the service. That he attempted to do, but was prevented by the Senate; which refused to confirm the ap- pointment of Colonel Steptoe unless he would resign his com nissiop in the military service. Colomel Steptoe was peculiarly fitted by habit and inclination of mind, not less than by his high public and social position for the responsi- ble post. He was modest and unassuming in tinguished as a soldier and wise in action. He had been quartered in Salt Lake city with a large command of federal troops fur some time before his appointment, and by his good judg- ment and discretion had won the good opinion of Brigham Young and his deluded followers. When, however, the alternative was presented him of choosing between his commission in the army or to be Governor of Utah, he wisely chose the former. He. however, was willing to serve as Governor of the Territory four years— to test in his own person the power of the Fed- eral Government in that community—provided that at the end of that time he could return to his original rank in the army. President Pierce could not give that assurance ; and thus, by the action of the Senate, his valuable services | were lost the country. We make these remarks merely by way of introducing the suggestion that the best thing now to be done is to assign a Colonel or Major of one of the regiments now in the West to the duties of Governor of Utah, and support him by such foree as may be requisite. By that means will be secured for that post a man of the wisdom, the discretion, the statesmanship, and the knowledge not to be procured in any other way. No man in civil life of the capacity of either Colonels Steptoe. or Robert Lee, or Joe Johnson, or many others in the army, could be found to accept the place. The inducements are not sufficient. The Senate have the power to confirm such an appointment if it pleases. It is easy todeclaim against the enormities of the social and political system carried on in Utah by Brigham Young; but the remedy for as an . the state of things is not so apparent. At any ments and positions of the Ad. tra’ ‘1 the K. cuales sow as seaman rate, the first thing to be done is to secure a has not budged a peg from its original position of perfect non-interference in the future of the wise, conservative, courageous, honest and in- telligent man for Governor. Where can he be institutions of the new State. Its requirements Sasa. ent. ct -the: asmy tan: efleer: of mer of its Kansas appointees are, simply, that the people of the Territory on coming to form a con- stitution, shall, one and all, (who may be legally entitled to vote upon the question.) be afforded a fair and fuil opportunity to participate in choosing a form of government for themselves. We question, seriously, whether any member thereof (of the Administration) ever heard * talk’ of the “compromise” to which this cor- respondent referred. Certainly, no one of them ever dreained of interfering directly or indirect- ly, by “assent” or otherwise, in the action of the people of Kansas concerning slavery. The truth is, this correspondent is what is called a moderate “ Free-State man,”’ and in these letters is simply Suggesting schemes by which his party can plausibly get out of their dilemma of impending defeat at the polls in Kansas, provided those there who are for the adoption of the institutions of the South, will please to consider themselves vanquished ere the contest comes off. He who fancies that the question of the right to continue to hold the few slaves nowin Kansas, is a matter of the slightest moment to the people of the South, or the pro-slavery. party in Kan- sas, 1s a child in affairs. The contest on their part is for a great principle in which they con- eeive the future of the Union to be involved. They contend for Kansas as their chief defence, in the Union, against the 8o-rapidly aceumulat- ing influence and power of Abvlitionism, whose aim 1s to override constitution and law in order to strike at slavery in the States.

Harp Pet To It.—Those familiar with pul, lic affairs here are not a little amused with the efforts of the New York Herald to connect the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, with the “Herrick” affair, on the strength of the fact that Mr. Herrick happens to be the clerk of the Senate’s committee of which Mr. H. is the chairman. As we know that there is not the slightest political or personal identity between the two individuals, whose relations are simply official—the clerk discharging his duties in the committee-room efficiently and properly, as all here are aware that he dves, (for he is indus- trious, pains-taking and competent)—we do not conceive ourself at liberty to refrain from stating so, in refutation of the Herald's silly effort to get up an ,anti-Hynter mare’s-nest in this connection. The truth is, Mr. Herick was, whilom, aclerk in the Indian Bureau—the clerk charged with the details of the business out of which the Hon. Mr. Thompson’s claim arose. He it was who wrote the letters signed by Mr. Commissioner Manypenny, if we are not mistaken, that led to the misunderstanding and disagreement, first with the officers of the Treasury Department and then with Mr. Thompson, concerning the claim, wherein Mr. Commissioner Manypenny (nominally, but Mr. Herrick in reality) took the ground that in the settlement of accounts origi- nating in the conduct of the affairs of his Bu- reau, his fiat should stand good against the de- cisions of the regular accounting officers of the Government. While we have freely expressed the belief that a more honest, faithful and competent pub- lie funetionary than Mr. Manypenny has never served the Government at this point, we never dreamed that he was infallible—that he was without hs failings. Though he had as few of them as any other such officer, it is well known here that persistent opposition, after once mak- ing up his mind, was his especial kink. Though good turn in the public interest operated unjustly to individuals. We have no dou his bearing, conciliatory in his deportment, dis- | of years before he became the clerk to the Sen- ate’s Finance Committee. w or Ex-Presipext Poti low be found a brief paragraph from Union of a late date which sets at rest the Newspaper stories that this estimable lady de- signs residing hereafter in Washington elty.

She is as having visited England since the death of her hus! ; whereas it is well known that she has been living in great retirement at her own elegant mansion in the city of Nashville ever since her bereavement. The writer, whoever he was, betrayed an equal want of information of the future intentions of Mrs, Polk when he announced that it was her purpose to come to Washington to the ensuing winter ; whereas no one has expected her to do more than to pay an ordi- nacy visit to the family of the Postmaster General, with whom a friendly and intimate association has long existed. , Such a visit would also give her an opportunity to see many of her former friends sal saiters of herself and husband. No lady ever had a greater number, and they would feel extremely mortified if such indelicate notices of her as those to which we now allude should induce her to abandon a social visit to her friends PERSONAL «+,» Hon.
