WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY... -...-+..-- December 3, 1857. ———— SS SPIKIT OF THE MORNING PRESB. The Intelligencer to-day, in an elaborate and really able article, distinctly takes posi- tion as the leading Washington newspaper organ of opposition to the plan of the Demo- eratic party for the immediate and fivel wigh- drawal of the Kansas imbroglio from national politics. The editor expends no little wit upon his idea, that the Democratic party now inter- prets its pledges concerning popular sover- eignty in Kansas, as meant only to have refer- ence to the slavery question. His trick, of Jogic, is as ingenious, as shallow. From the foundation of the Government until this hour, in framing constitutions the repre- sentatives of the people charged with that duty, have, at will, exercised their right to refer their action back to their constituents or not, as they Judged best under the cireumstances; unless Bpecially instructed on that point. This fact is notorious. In so doing, until this occasion, it has never been urged that they were violating the right of popular sovereignty—amore partic- ularly to the point of justifying outside news papers and politicians in interfering between them and those for whom they were acting. In the eye of the law, the Kansas Convention were the people of Kansas. We reject ix toto the idea which the Intelli- gencer, Philadelphia Press, Chicago Times, et @/., have borrowed for the nonce from Greeley’s Tribune and Garrison's Liberator—the idea on which all the treason of all the abolitionists in Kansas perpetrated for years past, has been based. Viz: That the Territorial Legislatures, Jaws, convention, &c., were not perfectly legit- mate, because, forsooth, they themselves—the Kansas Abolitionists—refused to participate in electing the one—the Legislatures and the Convention—and in framing the other-the Jaws. The singular and sudden tergiversation of the Philadelphia Press and Chicago Times in- volve them in the inconsistency of adopting at one swoop all the positions of Greeley, Garri- son & Co., against which they did battle until finding it convenient to go into opposition ; the first mentioned evidently through personal Pique, and the second, it appears to us, only in erder to compass the end its conductor has long had in view of obtaining a share of the public printing in that way. No other has been a more conspicuous member of the cabal formed to that end which has had its head and front in this city since shortly after the close of the last session, and has been bent on securing @ division of what it proclaims to be “the printing plunder” among its members, (many of whom are professing Democrats.) even if to Succeed, it may be necessary to rend the Demc- cratic party in twain Upon such Northern newspaper authority only, does the Intelligencer strive to create the impression that there is an irreconcilable dif- ference between the Administration and the Northern Democracy. Its effort to bug the Engwerer in by the ears a5 its sponsor in this matter, has already been indignantly repudiated by that journal in its recent eloquent appeals for immediate acqui- @scence in the action of the Kansas Convention. Were this contest against the National Ad- ministration that of the Intelligencer and the legitimate opposition only, it could not last anhour. They are, however, backed secretly and openly by nominal Democratic parties aim- ing to cluteh ‘- plunder,” as weexplain above— not a few of whom are even yet professing de- vVotion to the present Administration. while la- boring with might and main to perfect combi- nations in Congress against it, whose first acts shall be to bestow on them the -‘ plunder’’—as they term it—for which they wear their two faces. The Union also discusses Kansas to-day, but on the other side of the question. Its sharp and smeoth pen pricks the bubble of the ‘‘will- of-the-majority”’ plea, which the opposition of all shades have revamped for the occasion. It was the plea—against which the “printing Plunder’ mongers who make up the Demo- cratic newspaper opposition to the poliey of the Administration contended, when they fought against, and not shoulder to shoulder with Garrison, Abby Kelly and Greeley. It was the plea and only pretence of justification for the action of the Topeka convention which was formerly denounced by the Chicago Times, Philadelphia Press, and their allies in the Printing matter bere and elsewhere, as rank treason. To find them now swallowing it so eagerly. simply proves that their appetite for the “printing plunder’ is 30 great, as that they are determined to stretch their stomachs to the utmost capacity of distension, to receive what they are after—if they can only secure it.

HINGTON ! SIND GOS Natrona Prrxtite Orrice.—The often de. feated project of a National Printing Office is again urged upon Congress and the country, The advocates of tive. monster"? evidently rely upon § new members of the of all accurate information u of the) printing, and somewhat ly ‘that its establishment id a duction of the printing exp@nditures, ahd forevér abolish the corruptions and abuses which they allege now taint and deform the present printing system. That these allegations are purely assumptions, are entirely gratuitous, and with- out:any probable foundation, we will prove by simply reviving some important estimates, fur- wished to ‘years ago, in refer- ence to the cost and the profits of the printing, to-show that its present cost to the country is really the lowest at which it can be executed, ‘and by showing that, instead of decreasing the @xpenditures and removing or purging away the abuses of the present system, if any exist, the creation of a National Office would neces- sarily be more expensive, and must, from its very nature, be most corrupt and demoralizing At the first session of the Twenty-ninth Congress strong endeavors were made by the political opponents of the then Demo- cratic (Mr. Polk’s) administration to reduce the rates of the printing to the very lowest standard, and, after a pretty savage fight, succeeded in fixing the rates at 20 per cent. less than these allowed by the law of 1819. All the practical information which was por- sible to be had was elicited by Congress during this session, through a committee appoint- ed for that object. Gentlemen of intelli- gence and of great practical ability and expe- rience—practical and master printers—were re- quired to make estimates of the lowest probable rates at which the printing could be executed. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, the chairman of the committee, and the friend and representative of the interests of the then public printers, who were also the organ of the Administration, in opposing al! reduction of the rates of 1819, be- cause he was ‘satisfied, from the best tnform- ation, that a great delusion existed in refer- ence to the profits” of the printing, recapita- lates the substance of the estimates furnished the committee. Mr. Rives, of the Globe, de- clared that prices 20 per cent. lower than those of 1819 were “‘not high enough—eertainly not goo high,’ and referred to the estimate sworn to by Messrs. Gales & Seaton, that “there were about 21 per cent. profit only, fixed by the joint resolution of 1819... Mr. Towers, af- terwards Superintendent of Printing, and Mr. Trenholm, at that time foreman of the admin- istration organ, also agreed that ‘the regular printing could not be executed for a less sum than 20 per cent on the rates of 1819.’’ Only one party, the Messrs. Gideon, affirmed the contrary, but they, it was conclusively proven, had neglected to inelude in their estimate many important items, which necessarily enter into its cost. It was thus shown, upon the authority of the highest practical experience, that the lowest rates at which the printing could be executed was 20 per cent. less than those of the resolu- tion of 1819; but, notwithstanding that nearly all the principal items necessarily comprehend- ed in its cost have since increased in the extra- ordinary ratio of 40 per cent., it is now execn- ted for Congress, under the present system, at rates 50 per cent. lower than those of 1819, 30 per cent. less than the lowest rates of the above estimates. If, therefore, any value or import- ance whatever is to be attached to the calcula- tions of experienced practical men, is it not apparent that, even if the printing can still be executed at the present reduced rates without loss to the official printer, those rates are really the minimum ones at which it can be done with any probability of remuneration for the outlay of capital and the labor employed in its execu- tion ; and, of @ consequence, that the present system, thus reducing the cost of the printing to its minim tandard, is the most economi- cal or least expensive that Congress can devise But even if it were otherwise—even if there was still a wide margin for a further reduction of the rates paid for the printing—would the ereation of a National Printing Office accom- plish that object? Would the establishment of @ national office reduce the cost of paper, or in apy wise lessen its consumption? Would it re- duce the price of type or press materials, or in any degree diminish their wear and tear? Would it lessen the price of machinery, of fuel, of ink, or in fact of any of the numerous items necessary to its execution? On the contrary, would it not, and must it not, from the iney- itable tendencies of its illimitable patronage, infinitely increase rather than decrease the ex- penditure for its maintenance. There is another and the most important view of this project of a National Printing Office which transcends all mere estimations of pecuniary cost, and involves higher and grander political considerations affecting all sections of the Union, but particularly. the South, which has long had no slight cause to apprehend, in the already overshadowing power and immense patronage of the Federal Government, the cer- tain agents of oppression and of vital danger to its institutions. The creation of a National Office would be another grand act towards the centralization of all the power of this Confed- eracy in the General Government, and from its national tendencies and peculiar illimitable facilities, necessarily another vast reservoir o¢ Executive corruption. Calhoun and others of the most eminent Southern statesmen, have time and again warned, not merely the South, but the nation, of the growing danger to all sections, to our institutions and our political system from the alarming increase of Federal power through the tremendous influence of con- stantly increasing Executive patronage. And not only have our own statesmen and political writers repeatedly warned the American peo- ple of the debasing effects of all centralizing tendencies upon our political system, but Nie- buhr, De Tocqueville, McGregor, and others of the most eminent and liberal of European statesmen and political writers, have also fre- quently expatiated on the certain, destructive, and demoralizing consequences of “ adminis- trative centralization.’’ Prof. Creasy, in his valuable work on the “English Constitution,’ quoting from a “paper by the French statesman, Count Montalembert, on the « Political Future of England,’"’ says : “He foreibly exposes the evils which must ensue if there.is any increase of administrative eeutralization of what he terms ‘Bureancratic’ this country. Especially he shows its de- basing induence on a nation. The multiplica- tion of salaried functionaries creates a popula- tion of place-hunters. Count Montalembert wisely warns us to reflect on this. He says with perfect truth that ‘an universal thirst after salaried public employment is the worst of social maladies. It infects the whole body politic with a venal and servile humor, which in no way excludes, even among those who may be best paid, the spirit of faction and anarchy. It creates a crowd of hungry suiters, capable of every excess to satisfy their long- i and Gt instruments of every ‘base pur- posé as-soon as they are in place. | A people of solliciteurs ig the most despicable of all Peoples. There is no ignominy of which they are pot capable. Instead, therefore, of deoreasing the expendi- t banishing gny fures for the pri , oF of she ay acer pro only infinitely increase that expenditure, but would greatly contribute towards the subver- ciples of our political system ftralization of preponderative Government, overbeagi: the different sections of what is now comparati rting our American populati le of sollicitenrs, eapable of every “ ignominyZ’and “fit instruments for evér base purpose '’’ Every citizen of the Repulilic, but particularly etery Southern man, shot early examine and seriously reflect upon a measure fraught with so many evil consequen- ces of sueh real magnitude and lasting peril To all—to every American reastyta which there is one spark of real vital patriotism—the strangulation, while yet In embryo, of such “a hideous monster’ of corruption, extravagance, and Federal power, should at once engage all their attention and arouse all their energies; but tothe South and her people, who have so long and so consistently battled against all increase of Federal power and patronage, and who have so often been made to feel-the whole force of that power, the employment of all her forees and resources for its destruction is a duty imposed by her time-honored policy, the law of self-preservation, and the motives and instincts of honor and patriotism ! Tue Iuprogito.—A considerable portion of the Democrats of both Houses have reached Washington. They talk the Kansas imbroglio over freely. From their comments on its pres- ent phase. there can be no question, that with two or three exception in either House, they are prepared to solve the difficulty at once— transferring the settlement of all the Kansas questions, directly or indirectly in issue, to the people of Kansas themselves, by admitting Kansas as a State into the Union on the Con- stitution to be presented here this winter. It is very evident alreatly that they are not to be humbugged into getting up a bleeding-Kansas fight among themselves for the amusement and certain profit of the opposition. However much many of them may respect and regard Governor Walker personally, they are skeptics concern- ing the propriety of making the point of main- taining his individual consistency (for, accord ing to an elaborate and evidently authorized version of his views in a Washington letter to the New York Times of Tuesday last, that ap- peared to be the gist of his alleged opposition to the policy of her admission on the Constita- tion) cause for breaking up the Democratic national organization and defeating most of the measures of the Democratic National Ad- ministration this winter. We certainly have. so far, reason to antici- pate Democratic harmony and consolidation in Congress. to afar greater extent than we con- ceived possible up to the moment when it he- came apparent that the Governor would refuso to stand heart and soul by the position of the party Once admitted inte the Union, the Kansas question instantly becomes local to the partic- ular people who from that moment will be em- powered to do with it as they see fit. Then they may establish or abolish slavery witbin a month, make as many bank charters as they will, or blot them all out of their law, funda- mental or statutory: and, indeed, dispose of all their own affairs, just as the people of every other State of the Confederacy may and do dis- pose of theirs. Of all preposterous ideas, that which the let- ter writers boasting that they are speaking his views harp on—that by securing these rights to the people of Kansas as soon as possible they will be striking at the right of popular sover- eignty—the right of Kansas to govern herself— is the most preposterous. The Democracy of Congress are far too shrewd to give up the sub- stance of the settlement of the controversy in order to run afteritsshadow. That is, to legis- late to propitiate the abolitionists of the Terri- tory. who have always contemned its laws and authorities, who refused to participate in the election of the late Convention on an abstrac- tion, and who on the same abstraction—the de- nial of the legality of the territorial government and laws —propose now to refuse to vote upon the question of slavery in the new State. Ocr Paciric-stpe APPrAtRs.— To-day, we continue the publication of extracts from let- ters from leading men in various parts of Cali- fornia on the subjects of the loss of the “Cen- tral America’? and the late Indian and Mormon massacre of emigrants going west. In one of them will be found grouped with much force the system of improvements, at the cost of the Government, which the writer holds are neces- sary to be immediately commenced. We pub- lish his view® on the subject as a matter of news and general interest, rather than as sig- nifying our particalar favor for his echeme: ‘+ The Indians and Mormous are going to give eur Government great trouble, from present ap- Frances; but :f Mr. Buchanan is half the man appears to be from his letters, he will soon dispose of them,, The war should be styled the ‘Indian and Mormon war,’ putting the Indian first; as the Mormons themselves have placed them in the lead, so should they there remain.”? Another correspondent says : ‘The loss of the Central America, and the murder of 160 Americans by the Mormons and Indians jast month, in the neighborhood of the old Santa Fe trail from Salt Lake, bia proceed a fearfal sensation in our State. and the cry is “ Vengeance, and the Paritic Railroad.” The Mail Steamship Company has come in for an awful denunciatton by the pressand. peo- le, and, I think, in many respects unjastly. ut, there is no mistake, they have made great enemies throught the length and breadth of th» land, as, moreover, the very steamer that brought the news of the Central America had a very long ssage ‘* We have also rising up an ugly frontier In- dian war, from the Oregon line fo Fort Yuma, and the Indians on the eastern slopes of the Sier- ta Nevada prove to be mach more numerous and warlike than was pnppancda-aeie to number not less than 100,000 souls, which, I think, is likely true.

Jt will be the making of the Gadsden purchase. The railroad company ought to bave every alternate mile of land on the route, subject to entry for mining and mines. Congress can ive them a mail contract, and for carryiag mili- fary stores, and make av appropriation annually to pay six per cent. interest on $25,000,000 of bonds. This will set the thing up. “We are going to have ugly times with Brig- ham Young and the red skius, and our hands a ¢ going to be full of ‘‘crisex’’ one after another, and of affairs Ce delicate and difficult to mangge. We, therefore, must have, as matter of prime necessity, the railroad, or the Govern- ment may have a $100,000,000 war in two years, and then may lose California and Oregon by rev- olution or disaffection, by bloody wars, or by loss of trade and commérce. We must now bave the rail that is clear.
