The Union, this morning, enters upon an analysis of the objections to the great measure of (Kansas) admission, and in summing up, holds that the question reverts at last to the two inquiries : 1s admission itself proper? Is the instrament under which it is proposed in itself unobjectionable? These two points are conceded. Therefore the whole case is conce- ded ; for there is nothing in the objection to the form and manner. The Union urges the importance of a full at- tendance of members in the House during the sessions of the week, especially on Thursday, since the absence of three or four Democratic members, on even a collateral vote, might em- barrass the whole programme of action contem- Plated by the party, which it would require days and even weeks to retrieve.

The weather thus far has been favorable, and from all accounts yet received the Prospect at present is, that the next harvest will be one of great abundance. Virginia and Illi- nois papers especially speak most cheeringly of the future, and anticipate the largest yield yet obtained in the country. Of course great latitude must be allowed in these estimates, for summer disasters and ravages of insects. {> The prayer meetings still continue to ab- sorb public attention. They are attended by all kinds of people, and all sorts of petitions er- daily offered. Some of these are ridicypus in themselves, and out of place ina public assembly of this kind, and the danger is that, if permitted © do so, ill-judging and ill-reasoning people will bring these assemblies into discredit. Thus ‘we bear of requests for prayers to convert the President of the United States, prayers offered to turn some public character from bis sinfal ways, and in New York, on Friday,a request was made to pray that a fugitive slave might permanently escape. In promiscuous assemblies, like these prayer meetings, topics, moral or political, which are a subject of controversy iu the public mind, and honest differences of opinion entertained in regard to them, are entirely out of place, and ug dt not to be permitted to be introduced. us den ene ah tomeiers Faancr —Private letters from France, received at New York, represent commercial affairs as rapidivy growing worke.

Our Crry.—The measures adopted by the Washington Councils last night for the sup- pression of the state of things existing here in the way of rowdyism, will meet the approbation The next thing to be done is for substantial citizens to become mem- bers of the patrol guard determined on; men whose positions in society will have due weight with youth disposed to violate the public peace. And then the magistrates will have their share of the work to perform. No more must be heard of the discharge of persons of suspicious character, identified as rioters and assaszins, or as aiders and abettors or companions of rioters and assassins, on straw bail, or with light fines; else the Vigilance Committee so freely talked over at present had better be raised for the due punishment of such officials, by way of prevent- ing the recurrence of the doeds of violence that It is very certain that public opinion is just now di- rected perhaps with most force against some of of every good citizen. last week struck all here with horror. the magistrates, apparently with justice.

Woraine tHerr Free Horses to Dearn.— The Republican party managers of the oppo- sition to the Kansas State bill seem determined that the country—the South as well as the North—shal! duly comprehend the precise end to which they are about to use the South Amer- ican representatives, whose co-operation they regard as certain to the end of the defeat of the Lecompton Constitution. At other times and elsewhere in to-day’s paper, we show that their aim is simply to strengthen the cause of Abolitionism, by quotation after quo- tation from their current newspaper specula- tions on the subject. grand ultimate aim to which we invite the special attention of the constituents of those Southern gentlemen who are to be their hewers of wood and drawers of water. It is from high authority in the Republican party chureh— from the Washington correspondence of the New York Evening Post (dated Washington, March 25th, inst.) We are no believers in the idea that energy. activity and unflinching fidelity to their trusts, on the part of those commissioned in various ways to preserve the peace of our city, backed by the assistance of such a patrol guard as the Councils propose, can fail to redeem the char- acter of the Federal metropolis, now offered up as a sacrifice to the relentless spirit of rowdy- Tury Destax Curatine THOSE THEY WoULD MAKE THEIR Duprs.—It is well known that the amendment proposed by Mr. Crittenden is designed to be the weapon with which the Re- publican party{of Congress purpose, if possible, Knowing well that most of the handful of South Americans. on whose support they calculate, will never dare to face their constituents after having voted outright against the Lecompton Consti- tution, and that more or less of their sore- headed Democratic allies cecupy a similar po- sition athome. They have evidently brought themselves to the point of voting on this @cca- sion to permit the people of Kansas at a sub- sequent election to select their own institutions. But they have no idea whatever of being bound by the precedent to be involved in so They adopt the Crittenden amendment, not because they are willing to subscribe to its pledges of obligations upon them, if a majori- ty of the people of Kansas should choose a pro-alavery form of government at the Proposed future election or voting; but as the only means left them of securing Southern co-operation in their work of prostrating the co-equality of the ‘These facts are evident in their familiar con- versation.

Mr. Uxvgrwoop.—Our impres- sion is that the Republican party leaders and their newspaper men in this city (who are re-echoing through hundreds of prints their calculations in this connection) are deceiving themselves with reference to the vote of Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, upon the Lecompton question. We know that he is a very stern opponent of the Democratic party; yet wo also know that up to this time his votes and speeches show that he has been faithful to the interests ofthe South, his State and immediate constituents. We know, further, that he is well aware that the purpose of defeating the Kan- sag State bill entertained by the unanimous Republican party of Congress, is to strike a fatal blow at the slavery rights and interests of the South, rather than to strike the Demo- cratic party ablow. Mr. Underwood has had great experience in national public affairs, and is, withal, a gentleman of sound diseretion— one not to be taken in by cajolement. Under such circumstances, he cannot bo deceived into working out the purposes of the abolitionists with reference tofKansas. Vote us he may, he will be well aware of the dire consequences to his own section of the Confederacy in the Union, of the defeat of the billon Thursday next. We therefore do not anticipate that the Republi- cans will find him on that day the pliant tool for their purpose of prostrating the South, they eertainly desire that he shall be. clear, pleasant. ther. 50, wind N. ‘lear, cool. clear, th 58, wind NE. clear, cool. «clear. th.60, wind NE. cloudy. cloudy, warm. clear, warm. cloudy, warm. cloudy, ther. 63. stormy. ltning, rain, th.63. clear, warm clear, pleasant. 2 clear, pleasant.

We clip the extract printed above from the Republic, an abolitionist newspaper published in this city. Messrs.
