_EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: MMONDAY......2000-0++++eeeeeeSuly 13, 1857. SS eee SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union discusses the Kansas question ‘with its usual correctness and ability, and fires a raking broadside into the Reverend politician Alger, of Boston, who was lately treated like a adog, as he deserved to be treated, by the Boston zmunicipal councils. The Intelligencer expresses the hope there may be truth in the rumor that Mr. Ex-Consul Barclay is again to be sent out as consul at New York by Her Britanic Majesty’s Govern ment, as well as the further hope that Presi- dent Buchanan, letting “bygones be bygones,” “will extend to him the usual ezeguatur. 8 WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. As Errort to Diskurr tage DeMwocratic Party.—Biows Aten at tue Sovra’s Fv- ‘TURE By SourueRN Hanps.—The earnestness with which the opponents of the Democracy at the South seek to avail themselves of every Passing political thunder cloud, as ameans of disrupting the Democratic organization of the two great sections of,the Confederacy, is worthy of a better cause. Ever since sectional issues have unfortunately disturbed the peace and harmony of the country, they have lost no op- portunity to create throughout the South, the belief that political union with Democrats of the North is worse than death to the South. Yet whenever practical (if indirect) fraterniza- tion, with even abolitionism itself, holds out a shadow of a hope of vanquishing the Demoera- ey, though the latter may be contending man- fully for Southern rights, they hesitate not to adopt it as their own policy for the time being. None are so vehement defenders of Southern rights as they, when Southern rights may not be in danger; and none so surely recreant to them, when real danger approaches through a Prospect of success by a union with all other political latitudinarians of ail other sections of the country, to fasten upon it a government of latitudinarianism, which, if-successful, must involve the destruction of Southern rights in the Union. These facts are so patent to all who are familiar with the political history of the last quarter of a century. as to render the task of explaining them in detail, needless labor on our part Their last humbug ery is that President Buchanan is a traitor to the pledges upon which he received the support of the South in the late Presidential election, because, forsooth, he has not recalled Goy. Walker from Kansas. Mark how plain a tale, reader, will put them down. President Buchanan pledged himself to the maintenance of the principle of the Kanaus- Nebraska act, accepting the exposition of that prineiple enunciated in the resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention, which. also, in all its consequences was accepted by all the South as represented in that convention. There was as little mental reservation in his act of acceptance, as all be has bad occasion to say or write since upon the subject. directly or indirectly. proves. asin the acceptance of the South (in the con- vention) of his views, as the constitutional and fair reading of the right and duty of the Gen- eral Government in the premises; and every line he has since written. and every word sub- sequently spoken by him on the subject. has been in strictest accordance which his pledges above involved. He proclaimed his purpose to be what the Democratic National Convention (under earnest Southern advocacy) laid down as being his duty. Viz: in administering the affairs of the General Government in the Terri- tories, to know no North, no South, no East, and no West; and to take due care that every man justly entitled to : g the future institutions of a Territory, and no others, come from what quarter they might. should be per- mitted to usurp that right. To this the South eaid Amen—not only to his pledge to prevent cutside interference in the dome: the Territories, but to that promising to to all who emigrated to a Territory, designing in good faith to become residents there, the right to an equal voice in determining the char- acter of the institutions under which they were to live hereafter. He has charged with the government of Kan- eas, a gentieman of equal reputation, asa stat man, with the first living American who has not yet reached the Presi who, besides, had been earnestly pressed on him for Secretary of State, by almost the unanimous voice of those in public life known as the most carnest and enthusiastic defenders of and advocates for Southern rights. Circumstances prevented him from gratifying them by that gentleman’s se- lection for the Secretaryship of State. It soon became his duty, however, to fill a position of more importance to the supremacy of the prin- ciple for which the South contended so earnestly in the Cincinnati Convention and in the subse- quent national election, than any other within his gift; and he offered it to him—to the candi- date of most of the Southern rights Bemoe- racy for Secretary of State. He could give no amore substantial earnest of his gratitude to the South for her gallant support of him (in the Presidential election,) and of his purpose to carry out to the letter the policy and pledges of the Cincinnati Convention upon the Kansas question—the policy and pledges of the South— than was involved in that offer. It was aecept- ed in the spirit in which it was tendered. Viz: in the spirit of gratitude to the Southern rights’ interest for the abiding confidence that interest had manifested in so earnestly supporting the recipient for the second office known to our sys- tem—the Secretaryshipof State. The new fune- tionary, ere starting for Kansas, received in- structions drawn up in strict accordance with the pledges mentioned above, so far as the ab- Zorbing question is concerned. embracing not a word more orless. As in duty bound, not only to the constitution and the law, but to the Pres- ident and to the South, he has striven to carry out those instructions with earnestness und zeal; undergoing, in so doing, an amount of physical labor which his feeble frame is illy calculated to bear, and which a man of less moral nerve would have shrunk from in dismay and dispair. He found matters so confused, and the people of the Territory in so much turmoil concerning their future, that to accomplish the triumph of the principle he was sent out to carry through triumphantly, he deemed it te be necessary on his part to take the stump. In so doing, he conceived it his duty to appeal to all to sustain the principle in issue (of the Kansas-Nebraska act) who were justly entitled to a voice in de- termining the future of the Territory—to those of them who were its opponents and the bitter enemies of the South, as well as to its friends and the advocates of the adoption of Southern institutions. Having determined to take the stump, could he have honestly done otherwise than to“ know no North. no South,” in dealing with the people of the Territory’ Would he have discharged his duty in good faith, if he had confined hie appeals to a single party’ Inthe exritement of those appeals, that he overstepped those instructions, using illegitimate arguments to achieve a legitimate and commendable end, we doubt not ; for we have rarely heard 2 heated stump speech upon a question hotly contested, wherein the orator failed to utter more of less that he would have avoided saying in the calm- ness of well-balanced reflection. To avuid such mistakes, is to possess more than human fore- thought ; and we are far lessurprised that such & mistake was made in this case, than that it has been seized on by enemies of the Adminis- tration as an excuse for vebement predeter- mined attacks upon President Buchanan, under the allegationj that he has been ungrateful to the South and unfaithful to his pledge of non- interference in the future of the institutions of the Territory, after all that he has done and is honestly doing to carry out to the letter all his pledges in this connection, and for the main- tenance of every Jona fide constitutional and legal right of our section of the confederacy. Surely, those opponents of the present Ad- ministration who seek to weaken the confidence of the South in it, by denouncing it for failing to remove Governor Walker, can have but one of two objects in view. Viz: either to oppose it for the sake of opposition to it; or, on the other hand, to drive it to the abandonment of the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act—to the point of administering its trust in Kansas for the benefit of the South. Or, in other words, so as that the weight of its influence in the Terri- tory shall be thrown into the Southern scale ; which is as contrary to its pledge of perfect neutrality in this matter, as a directly contrary policy or course would be. To our mind, so to do would be a3 unjust and as reprehensible, under the circumstances, as to seek to give the Free Soilers a triumph there. We accepted the Kansas-Nebraska act and advocated it in the last election in good faith. and scorn to turn our back upon it now, as we would be doing were we to countenance any departure from its principle for the nominal benefit of our own section ; and, we doubt not that ninety-nine in every hundred Southern men who voted for James Buchanan will, on reflection, hold with us on this point. Besides, the idea of bad faith which is in- volved in that of turning the back of our hands on the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act, now that there is less prospect that it may not operate in Kansas so as td secure for us there all we desire, forms by no means all the leg mate inducement for continued southern sup- port of the principle. Those who war on our rights and interests are largely in the majority in the Confederacy, and the tendency of the times with them is to induce perseverance on their part in this war. Our only hope of fu- ture peace and agreement with them rests upon the influence of a moral power which shall stay their encroachments. That power 1s the ascendency of the true principle of our Govern- ment—that of the Kansas-Nebraska act—over the popular mind. It will be said that moral influences are broken reeds for dependence against the influence of essential differences of race and interests, such as those which exist be- tween our northern and southern States. While the history of the world shows the truth of that axiom as applied to periods of time wherein centuries are but as years to briefer periods— to those wherein the meinory of individual man | runs back and the influence of national tradi- tion extends. the rule is nota soundone. This is evident in the moral power of received ideas of religion, for which not only individuals but communities and whole nations have immolated themselves; enduring tortures and other pains and penalties too terrible to be described; en- dured. not unfrequently so far as individual men are concerned, in such cases, by persons utterly incapable of acting under the influence of the ideas or principles for which they were suffering. Most irreligious nations. so far as the personal character of their citizens is con- cerned. have exhibited heroism and perse- verance in religious wars. not second to those displayed by the most fanatical or truly re- ligious. The reader may ask what has all this to do with the current effort to discredit President Buchanan in the estimation of the Democracy of the South’ We answer, much, in our judg- ment. He is straggling faithfully to sustain and administer the great idea of this Govern- ment—the right of each sovereignty of which it is composed to dispose of all its own domestic ns, as to it may seem best for its own happiness and interest. Upon the continued supremacy of that idea and principle in the ad- ministration of our Government. hinges all the future hope of the South in the Union. If it continues to rule in the minds of our country- men for a brief half century longer. su as to vindicate its ascendency whenever seriously as- sailed, the war of Abolitionism on the rights of the South must prove abortive of really ef- fective results. A few negroes here and there may continue to be stolen, and for some time longer laws may continue to be enzeted.for the benefit of the North at the expense of the South. But, day by day, and year by year, the great inevitable law of nature will more surely work its way—that law which in the course of time surely directs population to regions wherein it ean live best with the least labor; which, though its operation is often temporarily disturbed. always eventually vindicates its own omnipo- tence. The so remarkable settlement up and improvement of our Northwest is but an experi- ment at best; and while in the brief time it has been under way that region has become from end to end almost as densely populated as our older States, themselves still sparsely popu- lated when compared with the settled countrics of the Old World, it has, so soon, been demon- strated to the satisfaction of men of science that the length of its (the northwest’s) winters and the severity of its climate will, together, greatly limit the future maximum of its population ; just ag those and other insuperable natural ob- jections have limited the population of regions of the Oid World, which have been comparative wastes so far as man’s occupancy and use of them is concerned, since time was. Nearly every foot of our Northwest, wherein the winter endures less than eight months of the year, is now vccupied by our countrymen of the North, principally ; and it is found that the legitimate labor of one man in it—in Wis- consin for instance—will not yield half the re- turn that the labor of one manin Mississippi or Arkansas yields, though that of the former may be the most skilful labor of the white citizen, while that of the latter may be the labor of the unskilled negro slave. For some years past skilfully managed hands on cotton plantations in the Southwest have returned to their owners from three to five hundred dollars per annum ; while no man conceives that the same deserip- tion of labor—agricultural—that must necessa- rily for the next century be the chief employ- ment of the great mass of the population of the Northwest, ean, in that section, return an aver- | age of more than from one to two hundred dol- lars per annum. When we add to this dispar- ity of results the disabilities of the latter's more rigorous climate, it is plain that the tide of em- igration will shortly seek the lower latitude; the experiment wentioned above having so soon almost entirely worked itself out. Though the more temperate region of the middle latitudes of our West may receive the current of the white labor (emigration) up to this time directed further north, the emigration | of the so-rapidly accumulating moneyed capi- tal of our country that will seek agricultural investments, must and will go where it will paz best—to the greater seupe of unoccupied arable land on our Southwestern, than on our North- western frontier, where the belt or wall of the desert laying east of the base of the Rocky Mountains extends some two hundred miles further east, and, wherever it exists, forms a barrier to profitable ceeapancy by civilized man, as permanent as the desert of Sahara itself. We repent, the emigration to the Northwest of the last twenty-five years bas been but an eal periment, the result of which demonstrates that for profitable agriculture it is worth far less than our unoccupied Southwest. Speculation has sent up prices there: but the bubble must sooner or later burst, to the pecuniary ruin of hundreds of thousands. The great permanent outlet for the increase of our population is to be to the southwest, over Arkansas, New Mex- ico and Texas into Mexico, and, eventually, Central America, where the pioneers who are to form that region into States one after the other, are to be Southern men; emigrants from Southern States, who, if protected by the Gen- eral Government {n their right to chose institu- tions for themselves, will surely adopt the insti- tution of domestic slavery, not only from early associations, but because the soil, climate, &c., of the country they will thus prepare for the subsequent settlement of the horde that will pass down upon thefh from the. surcharged northern hive, all favor such a choice. The true value of the principle of the Kansas- Nebraska act to the South will not be practi- cally experienced until then. It may be fifty years hence until it will thus commence to be realized; probably not twenty-five, and, possibly, not ten years before one or more States in Southern latitudes are knocking at the doors of the Capitol for admission in the Union—North. ern Texas, a portion of New Mexico, including the arable portion of the Gadsden purchase, and, not improbably, more or less of Mexico lying adjacent to us, which will have been acquired by the United States, we trust by fair purchase, ere half a century rolls around. Thus does our country’s future appear through our telescope; and we appreciate no less sincerely the wisdom of the last National Demoeratie Convention, in so early enunciating the great national idea and principle which is to protect the South in the uninfluenced enjoy- ment of all her natural adyantages that will come into play when these things eventuate, than the far-seeing statesmanship and abiding patriotism which President Buchanan has mani- fested amid this tempest about Kansas, leading him to reject all ideas and every measure in connection with the affairs of the Territory that may directly or indirectly tend to weaken the supremacy of the great principle we have so eften mentioned in the course of these remarks, on which hinges the peaceful, profitable, fair and just solution of the great problem of our country’s coming expansion. as described. in thus faithfully discharging his duty under astorm of reproaches from his Southern ene- mies, and not a few short-sighted Southern friends, (we regret to have to write.) he is seeur- ing for the South’s future inestimable advant- ages which are justly, properly, lawfully, and constitutionally hers, that would be lost to her forever, were he to permit himself to be swerved from the strict administration of the affairs of Kansas on the principle of the Kansas-Nebras- ka act, by these complaints, so short-sighted on the part of some of those who, though uttering them, desire to be his political supporters. A Great AxMertcan Oration.—We have read the first half of the address delivered by Hon. R. M. T. Hunter at the recent commence- ment of the Virginia State Military Institute at Lexington, which is all of it that has yet ap- peared in print, and confess that in the whole course of our reading of such papers we never met with one so eloquent, learned, philosophic and interesting. The mystery is—how a gen- tleman, immersed as Mr. Hunter has constantly been from earliest manhood in affairs of state and the management of his extensive private property, could have become sufficiently learned to be the author of this great essay’ It shows him to be a master in the natural no less than the mathematical sciences, a bright and uni- versal scholar in literature, polite 2s well as classic ; a historian in whose mind’s-eye pro- found reading and profounder reflection have made centuries but as y s, in the knowledge of most historians of the day. All know him to be. perhaps, the most extensively informed American statesman of the era, as well as the American public man most thorough in all the thousand and one details of the American pub- lie man’s duties and the knowledge he should have. To find him possessing also the attain- ments necessary to qualify him to be the author of this so able end beautiful address, astounding An AwreL AFFAIn.—The news of the death of the Hon. Leander Cox, of Kentucky, in a personal rencontre with his competitor for Con- gress, the Hon. John M. Mason, has caused a thrill of horror to run through the veins of all the many acquaintances and friends of both these gentlemen in this city. No two other public men in their position were more es- teemed in private life here, nor were any other regarded as milder and more scrupulous gen- tlemen in all the attributes of their respective characters. Of course, no one can form an opin ion of the merits of their so deplorable contro- versy that has thus terminated. What a warn- ing against the practice of permitting politics to run into personalities, is such a termination of a stump contest between two such men as Leander Cox and John M. Mason! Ss almost Departep.—The party under the superin- tendence of Geo. L. Sites, Esq., charged with the duty of constructing a wagon road from the mouth of the Platte, via Omaha city, Dacotah city, and the Omaha reserve, to the Running- water river, in Nebraska, got underweigh with their work on the 25th June ultimo, at the mouth of the Platte, under auspicious cireum- stances, according to information received here Saturday evening last. It is expected that a wagon way will be opened over the whole of the route by the commencement of the winter. The small sum appropriated for this work so far, will not permit the road to be as well made as is necessary, we apprehend; for it is to open up to settlement almost the entire portion of Ne- braska yet unsettled, that can be settled up profitably. Want a New Treaty.—The Kaw (or Kansas tribe) Indians have petitioned the Commission- er of Indian Affairs, through their agent, for a new treaty, which, they allege, is made neces- sary by the encroachments of the whites upon their lands. In this proposed new treaty they seek to have a provision incorporated making it the Govornment’s duty to keep the whites off their lands. Otherwise, they express the deter- mination to themselves drive them af. The presence of a delegation of those Indians (in full feather and paint) in Washington at this time, is to be accounted for by the fuct we state above. They of course come to effect that treaty. Tur Exvetopes Contract.—We apprebend that the decision upon the bids for turnishing the stamped envelopes for the next four years, required by the Post Office Department for the public's use, will not be made until the Post- master General’s return. In the meanwhile the bids will have been examined, classified, &e. We hear that nine bids were made. Nava. Courts or Inquiny.—To-day before Court No. 1, the case of ex-Lieut: Dulaney was continued. Some documentary evidence in it was rend and submitted, and then the cit- izen witnesses from Philadelphia, who were to have been examined to-day not being present, the Court adjourned until to-morrow morning. Before Court No. 2, the case of Commander Berrett was {again under consideration, and Licut Phelps and Purser Jones (called on the part of Commander S.) were examined by the Government The Court then suspended this case, and again took up that of Lieut. Rolando, in which a portion of the record was read over, and then his eounsel, the Hon. Robert McLane of Md., proceeded to read Lieut. R.’s defence. Before Court No. 3, the case of Ex-Lt. A. C. Rhind being under consideration, Lt. Sartori was examined in behalf of the Government. In the course of his examination a question of law arose, upon which the Court was cleared, and remained soup to the hour at which the Star went to press. SiientLy Angad or Tiue.—The telegraph on Saturday announced the transfer of Colonel John (Jack) C. Hays from the Surveyor Gener- alship of California to that of Utah, and the ap- pointmentof James W. Mandeville in his stead. Up to this time these changes have not been made, though, we apprehend, the order to that effect will be signed by the President ere night- iNew Grayapa.—lIt seems to be expected in diplomatic circles here that the next arrival from Central America will bring Gen. Herrera authority from his Government that will enable him to make a treaty likely to close up all dif- ferences with the United States. Action to that end on the part of the New Granadian Congress is required, we hear, before such authority could be delegated to him. Tne Accounts oF THE Post Orricr De- PARTMENT.—During the quarter ending June 20th ult., 25,727 quarterly accounts of deputy postmasters were received and audited in the Bureau of the Auditor (6th) for the Post Office Department. This is doing a great business, indeed. It is the largest number of accounts ever received and disposed of in a single quar- ter by a bureau of an American Executive De- partment. Crerican C#ancrs.—L. F. Rutlt has been transferred from the General Land Office to a third-class clerkship in the Indian Bureau— salary $1,600 a year. Charles 0. Joline has been transferred from the Indian Bureau to a clerkship in the Gen- eral Land Office. Tne Postaaster Genera, Hon. A. V. Brows, left this city this morning for Philadel- phia, to be absent for a few days only. Hes accompanied by his family.
