Who could bare tumagiaed two years ago iba, with the truth mad manifest, Me, Senator Dougius would carn out to be the responsible godiather of the Lecompton constitution? A surpicion of this sort, expressed at the time when Mr, Douglas was the leader of the anti- Lecompton movement in Congress, would bave been cousidered on all sides a very ridiculous thing. Now, who caa doubt the fact that Mr, Doug! is responsible for that covstittion, after reading the erushing mass of evideney on the subject which we pablich to-day? This testimony has been huuted up by the lected from differeu! members of the Lecomptou Convention living haudreds of miles apart. The point which their evidence establishes is this: that the plan of submitting only the slavery clause of the Lecompton coustitution to the vote of the people was adopted by Joha Cal- boun, Presiden: of the Couventioa, aad carried through, in consequence of a letter received by him from Senator Douglas recommending this partial submission, sud that but for the influence of this Jevter, which aleo promised success to the scheme in Congress, this plan of partial submirsion could not have been | adopted. | We refer the reader to the evidence, and in of it, we find that Governor Walker, betore the Covode Committee of the lay ses elon of Congress, testified, on this subject, that be went outto Kansas under the strongest as- surances from the administration iu favor ot the full submission ot the coutemplated Stale constitution for Kansas to the vote of her peo- ple; but that when at Lecomptou, and during the sittings of that Convention, Cuthoun who, sup) 500 troops as Walker says, “bad been ube distinguished | and special leader of the Douglas party ia | Kaneas” (and who, it was believed, owed bis | appointment as Surveyor Geueral of Kansas | tothe recommendation of Douglas), came to Walker and asked his coucurrence ia the par- . ‘ti bmies Jan, - re tl The Bega tig ontith thstnaslven youter, | Se! submission plan, “amaving “Rtnt esters was the programme of the administration * The Covode Committee, however, suspeciing that a government agent in Kausas at tas time, of the name of HL.

Toe transi tion from one form to anotber may be sudden and effected apparently by violent canses, but we con easily trace im origin aud gradual ap proximation far back into the past, Meo are not the creamres of impulse, or the free agents thar they believe themselves to be. In msiters of opinion and conviction they are inthienced by w tide which sets slowly ip, aad carries them along with it by insensible degrees. Christianity itself wae not exempted from the Jaw of slow progression which seems to govern all great revolutions ia the buman mind, From the time when Paul went forth procisiming the doctrines of hie Diviae Muse ter, down to that of Constantine it had to work its way thronxh the most disheartening difficul ties, poverty, bumiliation, persecusion and martyrdom. But no obstacles that it encoun tered tended more to obstruct ils spread than the corruptions that crept into it when tue transfer of the seat of goveramect from Rome 1© Byzantium induced Gonstactine to raise up the bishop of that new metropolis as a rival to the Reman Pontiff. A numberof Pagan super atitions were engrafted ou the pure faith re- venled to the world by the S®viour, the wor- ond vital ship of saints and martyrs being more or less | conducted after the fashion of the religions services that were performed in honor of the | gods before the coming of Christ. The history of Christianity ia Coin pressuls all these phases, down to the mingling up ia our owa day of the Confucian and Bhuddist doctrines with some of the main features of the Christiso belief. “The Reformation, although i: owed to Lather its immediate impulse, was not the less a move ment of slow growth Mao's minds had been lovg prepared for some euch coaage by the Mmonstrons abuses and corruptious of the Romish ebureh and Luther was merely the exponent of the popular convictions. Hed he never ex isted the great change that was impending would bare found sone other leader ready to suffer and lay down his life tor it, The access to Hebrew literature w the invention of printing afforded to the Inity smoothed away some of the greatest obetacles that lay io his path, A comparison of texts showed how the pure doctrines and teachiags of Christ nad been perverted to earich sod sggrantize the corrupt structure built up by eeclesastical frands and usurpations. In the politics! affairs of the world the same influences and the same governing laws are observable, The French revolation, for in- stance, which owed its immediate origin to the grinding tyranny of the privileged classe, cau be distinctly traced to the iofluence which the literature of Greece and Rome exercised over the French mind. The «spectacles of republican power and greatness that were there exuibiied to it offered an irresistible temptsion to the ambition of the men who brought about that fruitful event. The Chinese rebellion, when we examine into its antecedent facts, canno! but be regard ed as a movement fraught with the most im portant changes iv the future destioies of that empire. It preseats all the evidences of one of those great religious and poli ioal revo lutions which have affected permanently the interests of humanity. It is not the less Sbris tian in ite origin because blended with aome of the Bhuddist suverstitions. Doer not the Ro man Catholic faith preserve sume of the old Pagan forms of expression! Is not Protest antiem impressed with the intellects! peca- liarities and the materialism of the Northera nations? Whatever may be its ecventricities, the Christianity of the Chinese rebels betrays | ite natural affinities by its desire to conciliate | the good opinion and friendship of the Allies, With #0 strong # disposition on their part, the suicidal obstinacy of the [mperisliets must soon effect a concert of action between them. This result once attained, there will be nothing to prevent that vast empire being speedily opened to the religious and commercial enter- prise of the Western nations. Tax State Evecrions—T Proarect.— From the bad news we have received from Albany and from other inauspicious omens, we fear that this State is lost to the conservative interest, and may be booked as safe for Lin- coln and the republican party. The Regency are trying hard to get money from the mer- ghante of this city, for the ostensivie purpose of They are beyond reforma ! using it in the good cause in the interior of Lhe State, Butts burot cbild dreads the fire. ‘Toe fools who gave their apare dollars for the Penn- sylvania eléction now repent of their folly, and pay they will not be #o easily caught a second time. They were cheated by the little Forney of Philadeiphia, the ematl fry imitators of the big Forney, and the election was allowed to go by default, while the rognes pooketed the gold of New York. It is too soon to deceive our merchan's again, and they will button up their breeches pockets whenever any of the Regency approach them. The confidence mea are of the eeme calibre as the Pennsyivaoia mepdi- cants, and if they once received the alms they ure beguing, they would laugh at the donors for weir stupidity, and distribute it among their own gang, if, indeed, there ia so much boner among these politica! thieves us would in- fluence them to muke a fair division of the money obtained under false pretences. They bave no notion whatever of winuing the eles tion, and if they say an) thivg to the contrary now, it is only for the double purpose of ob taining movey vod lullieg the conservative volers into a deep sleep of fatal security. The moment they get their fugers upon the contri butions of New York city, they will show their cards and play iato the hands of Lincoln and the republican party, ‘Thr Northern Idea and Southern Safety— The Coming Collision Between tne North and South. «already becoming evident that the pro- gress of the black republican party in the Northern and Central States is carrying hi confeders ion to the very verge of #@ fearful abyss, from which only the most sazacious wis dom and the purest patriotism can save it. Everywhere in the Sou'b the fires of resist ance are already beginning to burn Among the people a general feeling of apprebeusion is spreading, aud the authorides and corporations f the veveral Southern Sates dre alresdy \ahing the initiative steps of action. It mast no! be supposed that public men in the South, iu apnouncing their adhesion to ube idea of re vistance to Northern aggression aad dictation are etirring tbe Southern peuple vp to a port to which they advance upwitligly, Public men do pot oven lead public sentiment; they follow ij, and reflect the tone and opinions of . those around them, an: ia whose ‘hame they assume to speak, We mustaccept trom the facts we already have in view (be Jogical deduction that follows from them; ip to doing we shall adawit the couclusion that the general eeutiment of the Soutbern peo- pie is sliong!y i support of the significant acts of their representative men. Hence the isolat- ed and wocommected events which are occur ring in diierent Southern localities must be read in @ broad and comprehensive spirit, io order to grasp their true meaning and portent. We published yesterday the proclamation of jov Gist, of South Carola, calliog together the Legislature of that State for the purpose of electing Presidential electors, and providing, if adviseble, for the safety of the State. The Legieiature of Alsbama provided, some time tince, for the contingency of the election of # tectionsl President, by suthoriziug the Gover nor to cail « State Convention immediately oo the election of & black repubiican President becoming known; and there is now every pros- pect that that Convention will be in ses- sion during the coming muoth. Goveraor Letcher, of Virginia, has called an exira ordinary session of the Legisiuture of that State, ostensibly to take iato consideration the question of the James River improvement; but it is well known that this call bas been for some time delayed in order to Cover at the same time the possible contingency of Lincota’s election. In Arkansas, too, the Governor has issued a proclamation to put the militia of the State into an efective condition, in view of the scope which Northern anti-slavery agitation bas taken. Nor is it alone onthe part of the public suthorities that action is being taken. Corpo rations of private interests are beginning to tee! the alarm and the people themeelves are wov ing. The State Bank of North Uarolina, for instance bas determine | to suspeud discount ing vntil the future shall be more developed; the Governor of Missiesippi, ia reply to an invi tation to 4 mass meeting in that Siate, refers io strong terme to the sbolition senUment of the North, and the feasibility of estabiisoing nou- intercourse commercially; and io many places in the South the young mea are organizing themselves as minute men. to bold themselves at the orders of the Governor of their respeo tive States There are alarming symptoms of the temper of the which no wise or prudent man will set aide wilh conempt, or even with inattention, Itis a feeling which springs naturally from the one great fact that no one con ignore, The black republican political or- ganization is founded on cue idea, from which ite whole developement proceeds; and this is, that “slavery is an evil and » crime.” Polit may discloim soy intent to do anything more than to exclude slavery trom the Territories; public leaders may deny any wih to make war upon the institution im the States; and law abiding men may proclaim that they will act ouly Within the terms and powers of the constitution; bot these are professions which can be of no avail, for they are at war with the one all-per- vadirg idee that underlies them. The natural aud lopical developement of toat idea makes the fulfilment of these impressions imporsidie. If slavery must be exclided from the Territo- tines, jane ries because it is an evil and a crime, the same | ressous will apply to iis exclusion from the States. [f the moral sentiment of mea must make war upon it im ove place, it must do so in all places. Time and place make vo excuse for pallisting war against a moral evil or a social crime. SHEET. poall be their eocial xpd political status? It is wimitied everywhere, either theoretically or practically, that they are not eqnal in social acity to the white race, aud they are denied é except by a few enthusiasts theorists. Wherever these inl equality aod impractical hav ruled, and the African has beeu nomiited to social equality with — the shite man, society bas been lowered in its | stwrdard, and the moral! and religious impulses of cur nature have been ontraged aud de- graded. Experience has widely demonstrated that in political capacity they are tar inferior to the white race, and wherever they have ob- tained political rule their government has been nothing but a ridicuions parody on that of the white man Hence the South bas accepted the svlution of the great problem of government for this inferior race, in the preservation of the inatimtion of domestic servitude for the four miilions of Africans who are in their midst, who cannot be destroyed nor yet displaced without destroying the whole fabric of South- ern society, with all its vast interests and pos- restione, and constructing’ it anew. ‘the black republican idea that “elavery is an evil anda crime” sims at this destraction by any, even violent, causes, If it ehould suc- ceed in its object, the evil would react to an jmmenenrable extent upon Northern interests, andthe very attempt must produce, as it is producing, resistance in self-defence in the South Nor can this resistance fail to pro- duce the most disastrous results upon Northern trade and industry. We need not cite the vast and sympathetic ramifications of pro- duction and trade between us; they are knowa to every one. We will adduce but one interest. The slave labor of the South produces more than fonr million bales of cotton, the shipment value of which amounts to overtwo hundred millions of dollars. This forms the very life and soul of our vast exchange operations with the whole of Europe. Take it away, or turn it ioto another channel, and we shall have a com- mercial revulsion that will involve every mill ond shipyard in New England, every mine and torge in Pennsylvania, and every industrial and commercial interest in the Northern and Central States, in irretrievable ruin. New York, the commercial metropolis of the whole country, knows and feels this, and hence ite almost upanimous condemnation of the black republi- can party and of the idea that forms its life. That idea isa fallacy which is at war with the highest and best interests of all men, even of the blacks themselves, and which, if persisted in, cannot but produce collision between the Northern aud Southern States of this Union. Que Orry Execrioxs—Tut MAvNEss oF THE Coxsexvative Facrioxs.—While the republi- caps are advaucing with flying colors in solid column, with steady etep, keeping time to their ingpiriting music, all of one mind and one soul, with » single creed anda single purpose, the conservative factions are pulling in opposite directions and waring each other to pieces. In every district they have set up opposition candidates against their own friends, and with few exceptions they have selected the worst set of men for candidates that ever disgraced aby party, some of them mea who ought to be sent to State prison inst of to Congress er the Legislature. How can the republican party be defeated under such circumstances? The democrats and the Union men, who are of no cousequence by themselves, are rivalling each other in diviaing aud distraciiog the coaserva- tive iulereet, and that at toe eleventh hour, while we are withia a few days of the election. How can they expect success? If they are beaten, us there is every ressun to believe they will be, 1¢ is wot by the superior uumbers of the enemy, but by his wise univ, and by their brane O16 ieiohs. Thie city is decidedly conrervative. The voters in that interest outuumber the republi- cans probably by some Bfty thousand. Yet is there every prospect of the couservatives be ing delewied, and the repubiicans being wiumphest Those who throw away a vic- tury which is in their power deserve to lose it, and all would rejoice at it, but for the seri ous consequences to the couutry which may follow. For these conrequences, if they occur, the | aders of the tectious who are dividing the people will be held responsible. The republican leaders are consistent. Their gawe is revolution and the conquest of the South. The democra- cy aod the Union men profees to be opposed to ‘hem, acd to be in favor of the preservation of the constitution intact and the maiutenance of the Union in all its integrity, and still they are j laying the game of the biack republicans as ‘ney never could bave played it themselves. The lessons of history and experience, teach- log by eXuimples, are lost upon them. It seems ost they were doomed to defea!, and are only resizing the old proverb, that “whom the gods Gevine to destroy they Gret drive nad.” Their lite children, who bave dearned at school the fable of the bundle of twigs, could teach them better eense than guides their counsels, Seven tous tied together compactly cannot be broken by the strongest man. Loose the bundle and let them be teken seperately, and be will break ‘hem without an effort. So is it with the re- publican party aud the conservative interests im this city, Let the latter: be all combined into ope common interest by the ties of a com mov canger and a common object, and the re- publican party can make no impression on their onited strength; but let them be taken in detail, aod exch stand reparate, and their de feat is oe certain as that night follows day. ‘They are courting destruction, aad they will #008 bave enough of it. Exo.ish ayo American Lystrrotions.—We publish this morniog an artivie from the Lon- don Post, commenting upon the reception of the Prince of Wales in the United States. Our If it is right st one time and io one | transatiantic contemporary, with the usual place, it is right to all, This fs the only logical result of the black republican creed, chimerical views of English writers, expresses the opinion that, during his progress through and to this it mnst come at last. Leaders may | this country, hie Royal Highness would “have with to delay or hide thie result from the South, and from the conservative men of the North, but the wirb ie futile. Popular manias always throw aside leaders who would restrain or guide them, and all meo kaow that constitu- tions and jaws are feeble instruments, and easily wrested to any purpose wher fanaticism sits at the helm, ‘The South bold, and bold rightly, that the in- stituiion cf domestic servitude for the African race among them ts neither an evil por a crime. ‘The grest problem is, how ehall four millions of ap interior race of men remain in society, best for their happiness, for the good of the community of which they form ® part, and for the interesta of civilization at large? What fn opportunity of seeing English iustiiutions divested of those wise checks and compensa- tions which the wisdom and experience of Eogland bave provided as the best security for well regulated freedom, and the best safeguard against political corruption.” The royal Prince baa travelled through a good deal of American territory since bis advent among us, and, young as he is, it will be surprising indeed if he has bot seen the immense superiority of our form of government to every other under the sun. “The checks aud compensations” #9 mach neeced in European countries, and to which the Post alludes, are aliogether unnecessary here, wad would pot be tolerated by the people under any pretence whatever, As a free snd vnlettered pation, we act by pur oyn free will. What better proof of this can be offered than the powerful and orderly military displays which the Prince hai seen in many places, but which received their crowning glory in the Empire City of the Empire StateL And if any- ‘hing can eurpass the spectacle of so many ermed patriotic volunteers, we might point to ihe radiant display of another strong arm of our power, in the hordes of firemen who passed in review before the young and gentle Prince. These are movements which spring from Jove of country, of home, and of independence. To check these progressive ideas by any absurd jaw of buman compensation would be to over- turn the dearest priaciples of republicaniam. So we claim that, instead of being defective, out American institutions are greally in ad- vance of those of our English cousins, English Journaiism—Arrowsmith Tura- ed Up Again. The Londons Times, we fear, is going to the dogs. The Thunderer no longer thunders. Tho lion has been turned iato a terrier, who, after having been soundly whipped, puts his tail be ween his legs, howling most piteously one mo- ment, sparling and biting the next. The Times, as our readers know, hus been in a terrible way over the elaborate accounts we have given of the Prince’s tour. The Times is much shocked at the freedom with which the New York jour- nals— the Hxratp belng the chief criminal among them-- have spoken of the royal party, chroni- cling their movements with the utmost particu- larity a8 to details, More than all—for the Times Ye not really very much Gistreased about the Heravp’s outrage upon the proprieties—more than all, our London cotemporary feels badly at having been beaten. The Times cannot get over its rage at the emall circumstance that the New York Heratp gave to the people of Eng- land the accounts of the Prince’s progress a week before they appeared in any London jour- nal, The Canadian editors were troubled in the same way and from the same cause. We sympathize with our afflicted London eo- temporary. We remember, however, that it was bot always eo horrifed at sensation jour- nalism. If we mistake not, the 7imes is one of the founders, if not the original patentee, of sensation journalism. Have our cheerful friends across the water forgotten the celebrat ed Arrowsmith boax? Do they remember the wopderful adventures of that remarkable tra veller, as published in and endorsed by the Times? It was acharming narrative. An Eng- lish traveller in Georgia takes passage in a rail- way train to go from one point to anotber ia the Cracker State. The journey mighi be tedi- ous, altbongh not along one, butitis very plea- santiy diversified by several duels a la mort. The conductor of the train is so obliging that he arresia its progress in order that two fire- eaters may have their little difficulty settled at once. Then followed more encounters, and as fast a8 the combatants fell their bodies were duly buried, the train being delay- ed at way stations for the accom- modation of the friends of the fallen, who did not wish to keep dead men on their hands. These, according to the British journal- ist, were every day eccurrences, and he might bave added, with equal probability, that oar Southern brethren were in the habit of killing aman every day before break fast, and that they followed the cheerful custom of the New Zes- janders, and eerved up the tenderest of their vic- time as tidbits fit for the dinner table. ‘This notable “yarn” made quite a sensation, and ite author, Arrowsmith, woke up one mora- ing and found himeelf famous. The Times peo- ple, it ia believed, retained his services, and despatched him to this country in the Great Eastern eteamship, under an assumed name, and he afterwards undertook to do up the Prince's tour in the Arrowemith style, toned down a little so as to suit the English market. But the valiant representative of Ferdi- nand, Count Fathom and Baron Munchausen could do nothing when he came to deal with hard facts. He was dull, tame, wearisome. He made outrageous blunders in his pretended descriptions of the country through which he paseed; his accounts werea week behind those of the New York papers, and st last, when they did come to hand, they were very feeble and unsatisfactory productions. Arrowsmith bad subsided, wilted, and, to use one of our horridly low American expressions, the bold Briton, who made so fierce a tilt at truth ia Georgia, simmered down to a very dull scrib- bler in Canada and the North. This accounts for the vaporings of the London Times about the New York Hexanp, The Times people are disgusted with the failure of their crack man, Arrowsmith, and so they pitch into us to conceal their chagrin. Never mind; let our British cotemporaries pick their flints, polish up their Arrowemiths, aud try it again. Texas would be a good field for some of the Times Correspondents. Nobody knows what is really going on there; so the correspondents can sea son their dishes as high ws they like, and no one can find out whether they are lying or not Distinctly, Texas is the best field for the exer- cise of that peculiar vein of sensation jour- nalism of which the London Times is the type and Arro ih the chief exponent. Soctat Revoivrioss.— For some years past many of the wealthy families of the metropolis bave been building magnificent establishments, at immense cost, in the upper portions of the city and the euburbs embellishing them with everything rare and costly in art and mana. facture—raising vp palaces which, in spleaaor and dec ration, outvied the palaces of Europe, boping thereby to concentrate withia their own home circle al! the elegancies and enjoyments of suciety which masy of the older familivs sought and touad in European cities. We might instance, for example, the Huights, the Peuny- mans, the Phelans and others. Bat they seem to be growing tired of the experiment to calti- vate that class of social refinement and plea- sure which existe eg ubundantly in the capitals of Burops, and to be returning agaia to those reeorta where the society of the beau monde ix traditioval, and social elegance permeates the very atmosphere which surrounds not only the wealthy, but those in moderate circumstances. Ove cause, and perhaps the most potent one, for the absence of refined society in New York is the paucity of people of leisure, quite nataral in a great working commercial community like ours. Witness, for example, the want of tact Ginplayed at the Prince's balt the other night, where wealth represented by tens of millions, and social position of the highest class, failed te tupply (hose innate qualities essential to the proper condnet of an affair of that kind. sort of society can refined and edacated expect tc Gnd in the cashiers end presidents of oe ee oe
