Lane and his followers, it is true, are still the opponents of that policy. But they amount toa very small fraction of thé population, indeed. To so small ® ptopertion as that their opposition cannot possibly be of any avail. We know well, from information in which we confide. that at least nine-tenths of the voters of the Territory must have participated in the election of the 4th, under the provisions arranged by the Lecomp- This fact sweeps from under the feet of the opposition outside of Kansas all honest pretence, too, for further demurring to the admission of the Territory into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution. It destroys all chance of the success of the plans of the Re- publican party to keep alive the Kansas issue for 1860, as well as those of the nominal Demo- erats who have of late deserted their party on this great and really only issue between the parties of the country. The free—or, as we should term them, non-slaveho!ding—State- party of Kausas thus endorse the Propriety of the prompt transfer of all the Kansas issues to the people of the Territory alone: which is the policy of the Present Administration, as well as of the Southern Democracy Who of the North can longer reasonably hold out against the wis- dom of the Kausas views of President Buchanan? Six months ago the Washington Star was in- dustriously engaged in efforts to make its South- ern friends comprehend that the line of policy of the President, in this connection, simply meant, not hostility to the South as was per- sistently alleged, but a rigid adherence to the Principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act, a3 in- terpreted in the platform adopted by the Cin- cinnati Democratic National Convention. That was all the sober-minded of the South de- manded. The erazy people of the South, and those there who seek to make a: slavery question a trade for their personal ad- Yancement, asked more: and though few of them have dared to attack the President and his administration, they have kept up a run- ning fire upon all who were conspicuous in their support of the cause of the Democracy from that time to the present moment of the South of all parties, from that time to this, have been gradually coming to appreciate the fact, that in the success of the present Na- tional Administration is locked up the perma- nency of the American Union, because its poli- cy is founded on a rigid adherence to the prin- ciple of non-interference of the General Goy- ernment upon the slavery question, to the extent of defending the weaker section against aggressions of the stronger wherever that may be necessary to the vindication of the true principie of the Constitution of the United States as enforced in the Virginia and Ken- tucky resolves of 1798-99. That strugzle has been of short duration, notwithstanding the labors of those there who desired to make an opposition party inside of the Democratic organization, for the sake of the local profits of opposition alone Subsequently a Democratic opposition has grown up in the Democratic party of the North for a similar end precisely. It meant nothing more nor less than to oppose the policy of the President and the Democracy for what might be made by that course locally. The determi- pation of the free State party of Kansas, or the vast majority of it, to vote on the 4th inst., has kicked over their bucket of milk, leaving those who have essayed to make Personal capi tal at the expense of Democratic principles in a very deplor: to be pitied—if ever potit The upshot of the whole Kans that those in all sections of the country who essayed to make personal capital out of it.

While the President and bis Administration by their foresight, firmness and energy in the premises have satisfied the whole country that they are gaided and governed by an abiding patriotism and sagacity in the conduct of American public affairs that are not only to result in the harmo- nious settlement of the momentous Kansas is- eues but to advance the glory and interqgs of our common country immeasurably in the fu- ture conduct of American public sffairs, as in- volved in our relations especially with Central WASHING TON Dudley F.
