Freights continued dull and engagements light, and more or lees nominai, es- pecially for breadstuffs and deadweight to Roglish ports, Tho Acting Governor of Kansas and the Scheming ODemagogues for the Succession, We have received, and publish this morning in an official ehape, the introductory manifesto of the new acting Governor, Stanton, to the psople of Kansas; and our readers will perceive that it is subttantially identical with the report which we published come days ago. Upon its face this address is fair, concilia- tory, generous, and even benevolent; and we doubt not, it foreshadows the precise policy avi opinions of Governor Walker throughout. He holds fast to the bogus legislation of the Terri- tory, however, with this saving clause, that the | law providing for the June cleotion repeals all pre-existing restrictions against the elcotive rights of the people, and “provides for a full and fair express’on of their will” in the choice of the delegates who are to frame the State constitution. The free State party, on the other baad, having reeolved upon the policy of having nothing to do with the June elcction, or the Convention thus clected, require something more than an argu- ment in behalf of the justice and fairness of these election arrangements; but even here Mr. Stanton proves himecif equal to the exigencies of the case. He says that he has no doubt that the “ Conven- itaelf will, in some form, provide for submitting the great distracting question regarding tneir social institutions to a fair vote of all the actual bona fide residents of Ow Territory, with every pos- alble security against fraud and violence.” What more coald be asked? But unfortanate- ly this is only the opinion of Mr. Stanton. The Legielature providing for this State Coaventioa, baving expresaly refused to require by law the submissien of the work of the Convention to the people, it is not likely that the “Convention itself” will do anythiag of the cort recommended by Mr. Stanton. It is evident that the object of the late pro-lavery Legislature was to secure by the shortest possible processes a pro-slavery State coostitution for Kansas; aod we dere say that the Convention thus to be elected, after fram- ing the constitution indicated, will think it best and safest to submit their work to Congress, wita- out ranning the hazards of its submission to a full vote of the people of Kansaa The law for the June election provides that only such inhabitants of Kaneas as shail bave been residents there for three months next preceding the election day thall be entitled to vote. This will out off, per- haps, more than one-half the free State vote; but even without these spring accessions, the free State party claim to possess an overwhelming ma- jority of the legal voters of the Territory. What folly, then, it would be on the part of this State Convention, elected under the foregoing restric- tious—what folly, after adopting a alare State { consitation—to eabmit tho question of ite rutifica- tion to “oll the bona fide residents of the Terri- tory!” No, no, Mr. Stanton. The pro-slavery party concerned in this movement for a State con- stitution have quite another fish to fry. They want a pair of United States Senators and a member of the House, and other little federal pickings and perquisites incident to the admission of a new State, and they are not going to riak these things by any such childish nonsense as the submission of their constitution to a full vote of the people. They will submit it to Congress, and very likely ia the inoffensive but sufficiently practical shape of a coastitution saying never a word npon slavery. Congress may, perhaps, pass them in upon this basis of ap- parent neutrality. This being done, the arrange ments for the election of Messrs, Atchison and Stringfellow to the Senste will be comparatively easy; and with their election the whole game of the local pro-slavery party of Kansas will bo played out, and within three years thereafter, if not sooner, Kansas will become a free State, wich a free State constitution, laws, Governor, Legis- leture, and everything elec, This, we believe, is the true local pro-savery view of the case, The free State side may be made equally eaty of comprebension. Thiv party cen undoubtedly command an overwhelming majority of the bona fide resident voters of the Turitory. Why, then, have they refused to par- ticipate in the coming election? Tucy my be- cause the authority calling the election isa bogus Miseouri authority—becauce it disfranchixes a large body of free State citizens, and because the judges of the eleotion are all uasocrapalous bor- der ruffians, who will moke up their rotarns to suit their parposes, without the slightest rogard to the votes cast againet them, excepting 60 far as mey be deemed necessary to save appear- ances. These ere the local objections of the free State party. Bat we believe that Lano sad Robdinsoa have been acting under the special ad- vice ot Seward’ at Washington, and that he is using them in bebalf of his programme of seo- tional agitation for 1560. Let Kansas in the interval be admitted as slave Stato, and W. H. Seward may rally the North fa a body again-t the outrage; and Mr. Walker, or any other prominent Southern man, on the other side, may rally the whole South in defence of the act. Hence, we dare say the policy of “muster. ly inactivity” adopted by the free State Leaders of Kanrea. Tous Keaneas is to continue the football be- tween Northern aod Soatbern scheming dema- gogues for the Presidency; and in the meantime Mr. Buchanan is to be made the pliant instra- mnt of all their raecalitiea, These are our views of the Kansas imbroglio; and we beliove, forther, that the worst of thie ugly busines is yet to come, It makes no practicul difference, as far as slavery is concerned, whether Kansas shall come into the Union aa ® free State or na a slave State (because in two or three years thero- after there will not be a negro slave within ber borders); bat it makes all the difference in the world to the scbeming politicians Inside and oat- aide of the Territory, aspiraate for the Senate and the Presidency. ‘We bope thet these views apon this Kansas ene eae conrequenees of the new Territorial will be satiafao- tory to oar Southern cstemporaries, to the Phila delpbia Penneyieancn, and all other journals aod politicians who ste under any perplexity or anxiety concerning the position of the New Yous Henatn, We expect the election (by de- fonlt of the free State party) of a proslavery State Convention the adoption, de facto, of a proslavery State constitution, and ite submis sion to Congres without further ceremony ; and we believe it le the wish and the game of Seward and his sectional clique, and of the motional altras of the South, through a demooratio Con- gree, to rush Kanene into the Union, thas half made ap, o¢ the beet possible plan for scaring an intenen, emilttere], and rae or rnin aretienal | battle for the Presidency. Wo feel confident, howcvcr, that Mr Buohansn will not p»rmit bim- eclf ta be made the blind instrument of these see- tional demagogues, North or South, but will meet tem end defeat them when they least expect it, That is air ‘The New Granada Quostion—Evils of Closing the Isthmus Routes—The Duty of our Go- ver nent. Our relations with New Granada have assumed ® very ecrious aspect, and the question—what course thadl we pow pursue in the matter!—is the most prominent one that is presented for the de- cision of Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet; and it is more pregnant with good or evil results to our trade, our polioy and our expansion, ashe may ecleot, than any of the other questions of tre day. In order to arrive at a just view of our position, and of the course we should pursue, a brief reca- pitulation of the facts is necessary. On the 16th of April, 1856, a serious a‘fray occurred in the suburbs of Panama—no matter. how originated —which, from the want of a suffi- clent military or police foroe on the part of the government, assumed a serious obaracter and re- sulted in the loss of several valuable lives and much property. The subsequent invostigations by the suthorized agents of the governments of tre United States and New Granada assumed a partisan character and arrived at exaggerated resulta, On our side an intemperate course was officioualy recommended by the Commissioner sent to examine the subject; and on the other, the unwise dentel of a just reeponsibility was sustain- cdby the government of New Granada. Presi- dent Pierce, ia bis last annual message, added cil to the flame tbat had been created, by en- dorsing the ex parte etatements that hed been laid before him, and by concurring in several grow errors in relation to other existing questions with the government of New Granada. This brought out a like exaggerated message fiom the President of that republic to the Grana- dian Congress. Coincident with those events Mr. Marcy drew up the project of a treaty to bo made betweon the two governments, in which the just claims of our citizens were placed in a ee- condary position, and a virtual transfer of the eovereignty of a part of her territory was demanded of New Granada. Commissioners were appointed on both sides to discuss the questions at issue, aud a correspondence ensaed, mm which, we must confess, that so far as regards 8 oulm treatment of the subject and the courte- tics of diplomatic intercourse, our owa Cominis- sioners appepr to a decided disadvantage, Those of New Granada declared that tho step wo de- tired that goveroment te take was udcoustitu- tional and beyond its powers. Had the matter reeted bere, our government would bare been in a dilemma. Bat Meears. Morse sud Boslia then abandoned the demand involved ia the troaty, and presented their ultimatum. This was the im- mediate payment of $400,000 for the damages turtalped by our citizens in the Panama riot, The New Granadian goverameat not only re- jected this demand, and reiterated the denial of ita reaponsibility, but ina Cabinet Coanoll it was onanimourly resolved that the goverament of the United States was identified with its oltizens io originating and aggravating the riot of the 15th of April, and to demand from it the payment of $160,000 for damages incurred. No resource was left for our Commissioners, and Mr. Morse lett a6 coon as possible, Mr. Bowlin, our Minis- terat Bogota, determined to remain rome little time longer there, a6 @ new administration was to go into power on the lst of April uoder Senor Ovpina, and it was desirable to give the new go- verpment an opportuaity to recede from lta false porition ‘This {a the present etate of affairs. As soon as Mr. Bachacan saw the position they had aesumed, he very properly ordered our naval | forces to concentrate at the Isthmus ports, in order to protect the vast interests of our citizens there. eident, Ospina, receding from the position taken | by the present admiaistration in New Granada, | is evident from several facts, In the mixed Ca- | binet, that has unanimously determined to assume the present attitade of that government, there are two persons who may have great iuflaence with the incoming admivistration. Seoor Gonzalez, the Attorney General, holds over by his conatitu- tional tenor of office, and Gencral Ortega, the preseut Minister of War, was oue of the most active and efficient supporters of Seoor Ospita in the late Presidential canvass in that republic. To this we may add that the Gravadian House of Represcatatives, in which the conservatives—Ospini arty—have the mejority, passed unanimously, on the 17th of March, s resolution approving the course of that government and ite Commisioners in the recvat discussion with those of the Uuited States. In{view of these facta, and of the great lateresta ‘wo have at steke in the security of the Isthmus Transit at Panama, there remains bat one course for oar government to pursue. Any interruption of the preseat communication between oar Atlan- tie and our Pacific powesions at this critical moment, would be » cause of innumerable mer- captile disasters both here and in California, which would produce » commercial revulsion. The Isthmus of Panama is now pa-eing throagh that transition that always attends the introdao- tion of great improvements, and Is in & state of industrial change. The completion of the rail- romd hao destroyed the means of livelihood of thousands of muleteers, bostmen and by the gold that flowed in upon them during the firet rash of emigration to California, are now destitate, without employment, aad ready for any desperate adventure, Their ire fa directed particularly against the railroad, which they loo upon as the fraitfal cause of ali their evils; aad when we remember the scence that took place not long since in the Erie excitement in Penneyl- vania, it will be acon that their feeliog is the re. sult of general laws rather than of any peculiar ignorance on their part, Under all these circumstances there ls but one course for our government to parmae, It mast not only take Immediate porenvon of the Leth- ecurity of the transit to our citizens. and bo the, world, but it must a1 once organize a stable and wise rule there, which shall place that secutity ‘upon a permanent beds now and in the futare event of the retarn of the district to New Grane da. Leaving the course of action to one or two naval officers and the employée of the Panams Railroad, will not effect this purpose. Let it take no halfway measures and trust to luck, as poor Pierce did, or it will meet with poor Pierce's fate, Let it send ont at once competent men to organize and administer a government there, and then, whetber we keep the Isthmus ot not, it wili confer » great boon upon the civilized world. The News from More Proclama- tions from the Vanderbilt Party, We published yesterday the latest bulletins from the Vanderbilt party in Neoaregga, consisting chiefly of proclumatioas from Gea, Mora. Of cousse, having a-monopoly of the news, those worthica mode out their own case prétty conolu- sively, and reporte? Walker as completely eur. rounded, cut off from both oceans, and reduced to feed on dog's flesh avd sugar, The “house of Vacderbilt”’ no doubt thrilled with delight at tbe terrible pictares drawn by these agents of theirs of the sufferings of the biave men who are wito Gen Walker at Rivas, We think it will be eafe for the “house of Vanderbilt" and its friends to wait a mail or two ere they eat the triamphal baaquet on the utter downfall of Walker. We suggest, for their consideration, the poeibillty that this sgent of theirs, General Mora, may have gvt up this story for the parpose of deceiving the public, as he has got up 80 many before, And we counsel them, before they intoae the paon of victory, to make very eure that Geo, Walker is not at yhis moment demotish'ng the impoverished remnabt of the Vanderbilt filibusters from Costa Rica. As for the public, it matters very littld to them what the facts are reepecting the war now pend- ing in Nicaragua. It is now 0 well known that it is merely a contest between George Law, on the one side, and Cornelius Vanderbilt on the other, that the interest taken in the fortunes of the brave Walker has mightily diminished of late. No one cares much for the Costa Ricans, who are hired by the “house of Vanderbilt” to do fillbustering in Nicaragua; but George Law's agente do not appeal very powerfuily to public sympathy, either. It is understood, too, by all, who care to know the truth, that, in the long run it does not matterone jot which whipsin this strange fight. Walker’s victory or Walker's de- feat will not alter, one way or the other, the ulti- mate destiny of Central America. For that destiny has been imminent, inevita- ble, from the hour when the discovery of Cali- forvia gold made a transit across the Isthmus a mattcr of prime necessity to this country. From the day when the Panama Railroad—with the house of Aspinwall, George Law and others at ite back—obtained a cbarter from Chagres to Panama; and from the day when the “house of Vanderbilt” extorted from the government of Ni- caragua @ concession of certain rights for the Accessory Transit Company of Nicaragas, the fate of the Central American races was sealed. Just as the Hindoos first conceded narrow rights of occupancy to the English and Frenoh and finally yielded territory, liberty and everything clse besides to the powerfal invaders, 80 the Centrel Americans having begun the work by grenting the Amoricacs s foothold at Panama and in Nwarague struck the firet blow at their own national existence. The rest has foilowed necesearily. There have | been fluctuations hither and thiher: sometimes the Central Americans have’seemed to be look- ing up; sometimes, their prospects have appeared to collapse altogether; but, in the long rua, their steady progress from year to yoar has been fix- edly downward, and the stendy tendency of the stronger race bas been to overspread and sub- merge them Each successive step has been the fruit of accident. A drunken passenger draws a revolver; eavage balf breeds and negroes rise {a blocdy ferocity and massacre our country pooplo: the conacquence of this wil be, for New Graaa- da, loas, for the United States guia, ot domizion on that part of the Istumus, Next, Gariison and Morgan, on the one side, Vanderbilt, on the other, all steamboat men and speculato:s, fall to qaar- relling, and figbting: hence, Walker's expeditioa, promising atone time to cut the course of ab- torption ebort, and diecount the work of a gene- ratvon; resulting ultimately beyond all question in the permanent establishment of the North } American race on Nicaraguan soil. All these ia- How little probability there is of the new Pre- cidcnts go to work out the great designs of Pro- vidence, and eo mast all hereafter. Every time Central America is stirred, the Uaited Scates ta- fluence there will increase. Every movement tho natives make will draw nearer the day toat Is to witness thelr final ruin, and the trans‘er of toe country they have misused into tho haads of a race that can establish law, oruer, aad sound go- vernment, Tur Momorwat Revowcriox—New Move- ents.—Judge Davies having ona mere lawyec’s quibble dissolved the injunction which he had bimeelf graated against the new Police Commie sioners, there hag been the greater concentratioa of interest on the independeat movement made by quo werranto on the complaint ot tac Attor- ney General, at the suit of the people of New York. On that prooeeding Judge Ruosevelt had granted an absolute injuuction, restraining the new Commissioners from entering oa the execu- tion of the duties of their office, not ooly in the city and county of New York, but at any point of the Metropolitan Police district. An applica tion was subsequently made to Judge Peabody to dissolve this last mentioned injanctioa, and an argument has been going on before the latter the Mayor, to compel him to axt as Com- missioner under the police act of 1853. This, of coaree, in a friendly suit; and it has heen resorted to in this view and with this intent, viz: In the proceedings eo far had the supporters of the new Dill have limited themselves to contesting pre- Mminary questions—mere questions of form— Giscusslon of the great constitutional lien behind, god on which the must be eventually decided. In the new mandanwus procceding against Judge Raseeil, tho If Judge Peabody refuse the application for the diesolution of the absolute injunction, then injanotion, then the proceedings on quo tarranto will #till pend, but the fxiticial obstacle to the new Commissioners entering on She duties of their Office witl be removed eo far ax these two in- junctions have gone, It is understood, however, that proceedings of «/milar character will be commenced by the Mayor and Common Council of Brooklyn as soon as action on their part aball become necessary. Jadependently of that, it is probable that the oli Commissioneis will refuse to abandon office, aud that injunctions to restrain them will have to be resorted to; in which case we will have the came legal farces gone through with again In ths precious muddle we fiud the municipal affairs of this city plunged; and a] through the un- wmrantabdle attempta of the corrupt nigger wor- thipping Legisiature of the State to usurp the rights of tote city, and to quarter tocir political Jazza‘oni upon ua The public seatiment in re- gard ‘o this usurpation is ebown in the combined opposition to the law msde by the Mayor and Common Council of New York, by the Mayor and Comwon Council of Brooklya, and by the people of Weetcherter county, who be'd an indignation me+ting on the subject lastevening. We believa that nineteen. twentietbs of our citizeos—no mat- ter of what political complexion they may:be, avd no matter how desirous of potitical reform— are utterty opposed 10 avd condemn this unparal- leled outrage of the Albany fanatics and black- degs upon our civil rigata, Let not the opposi- tion Bag or fail until those rights ace secured, and the city prewerved from tovasion.
