THE KANSAS EXCITEMENT.
We have never seen a. period when the
Northern press was more generally and ays-
■ teinatically unjust to the South than in
its discussions of the late Kansas difficul
ties. The history of this excitement and
its unhappy fi uits is known to all Its
causes are equally plain. Its moral ought
not to be misapprehended by any. If
there has ever been a series of events that
defined their character and connections in
tht clearest and amplest manner, that se
ries is the occupancy, progress and present
condition of Kansas. There is no myste
ry in any part of the business. It has all
taken place right under our own eyes, and
it ia the deliberate outworking of a plan,
devised and executed for especial purpose.
The whole blame of this furious outbreak,
so far as the originating causes are con
corned, is on the shoulders of the North;
and yet, if its press is to be believed, the
South is the guilty party from the begin
ning to the present time. A more shame
ful instance of sophistry, in I.tague with
bad passions and morbid fanaticism, our
country hAs not witnessed. The whole
reasoning is a libel on the facts It is
false in spirit and in statement , and but
for sectional and party objects, none so
these men would outrage their nature in
such shocking perversions of the real mer
its of the case.
The original position of the South ou
the Kansas and Nebraska. Bill wai similar
to her position on the Missouri Compro
mise. Bho accepted the 1 'ter; she ac
cepted the form, r In the case of the
Missouri Compromise, she acquiesced
Jefferson was opposed to the principle of
geographical aisuriminttion So were
other Southern Statesmen. But. circum
stances existed .tUai. made acquiescence a
patriotic duty and ihercf>ro tiny submit
ted. In the case of the Neb aska Bill, a
great principle, dear to the South as well
as her republiotin sympathies »s by her
peculiar institutions, was acknowledged
Previously to this stirring debate, she had
nobly struggled to obtain the recognition
of he' rights to an oquai share of the com
mon territory of the Union. But she had
been again and again defeated. The doc
trine of the Nebraska Bill indicated at
least a returning justice. It look
ed like a pacificatory measure. It prom
ised to some’ extent the abandonment of
Congressional Legislation on a subject
fraught with peril to the stability and
peace of the whole country. In this spirit,
it was received at the South She did not
, claim it as her measure. She did not
dream of nursing tho new Territory as her
offspring. All over the South, there was
an apathy with regard to the future fate of
Kansas, and a calm contentment with the
general principle thaj the people would be
left ! n due time to settle their own prefer
ences and adjust th fir own relations
’ The first movement after the passage of
the bill came from the North. Not con
tent with using all available efforts to
thwart the measure as a bill, it now re
solved to annul it practically as a law.—
With that inventive ingenuity which nev
er fails to suggest a plausible scheme, and
with that indomitable energy, which ex
hausts every species of exertion in the
pursuit of its end, the North strained its
mind and muscle to pre-occupy the new
region with its own special friends. Em
igration Societies were organized to effect
this end Public meetings were inflamed,
money was raised, and a huge machinery
set to work to forestall the natural ooon-
Eof the Territory, and nil this was
rately and openly done to make the
law respecting it a ridiculous and insulting
mockery. If that region had settled up
in the due course of emigration; if natu
ral causes had thrown it into the hands of
the North; if climate and and soil had
combined to keep of the South than the
South would have boon contented. Not
a word would have escaped her lipe Not ;
an act would have been performed by her .
t ands. But the whole matter was changed
the instant that the North undertook to i
force the Territory into its service. It!
ceased then to boa geographical question
as to what form of labor should possess it,;
and forthwith it became a question simply
and solely between abolitionists and slave
holders. Who made it so? Who invited
the contest? Who dared tiioir opponents
to the field ? It was thus converted into
a battle-ground by the North, and on the
North the whole responsibility rests.—
Southern men may have been rash and
violent, but their error is not to compare
with the wrong of those, who goaßod them
into the strife.— Southern Timet
LORD CLARENDON. ‘
The Press, a London weekly journal,
supposed to be partly controlled and partly
edited by Mr. I)’lsreeli, contains the fol
lowing description of Lord Clarendon, the
Foreign Secretary:
Seen in society or in the Senate Lord
Clarendon cannot fail to arrest attention.
The tall attenuated,form, with the stooped
shouk’ert, and mingled appearance of tee
bleness and grace, might of itself suggest
an enquiry as to who was that plegant in
valid, so frail in body and so fashionable
in appearance. The hag ard, face
is etill retaining the handsome traces of
the “ Mr. George Villiers” of thirty years
ago;*the smile still, swoet utid winning,
even in spite of a certain insincerity; the
voice in conversation so pleasingly modu
lated; the foreheid hi, '.: but narrow, sug
gesting acuta intellect Without massive
ness—combine to interest, and even nre
possesso* an observer. The bright, vivid
look, with its airy and animated glance,
at once suggest the presence of mental
life, even though the rapidly succeeding
sir of exhaustion reveals that we were not
looking upon a man of real power, and that
however interesting in appearance, or ac
complished in qualities, the slender per
sonage before us was never meant by na
ture for one of the rulers of men Close
■ ntaintance would soon prove thrt, in
• of his courtly graces, his skill in mod
•i tongues, and his undoubted Itnowl- i
<• go of political economy, the Earl of
Clarendon is not equal to originating a
policy or deciding g. eat events.
Church Decorum —The New York
Churchman recommends a serie e of rules'
and regulations to be observed in church.
One of these rules forthurch decorum is:
“ Avoid the use of the fan in church at;
*ll times. During the heat of the sum
mer, it is, no doubt, a greet luxury. But
we are not, in God s Holy Temple, to
think of luxuries—rather of endurance
and sacrifice Tho pract ce is a moat ir-.
reverent one When we go to perform
our solemn devotion to God. we are not
to give way to self-indulgence. It is a
profane familiarity in the presence of Him
who ‘is greatly to be feartd in the assem
bly of his saints.’ ”

THE GAS-LAW REVIVED.— MR. WISE PREVENTED
FROM SPEAKING,
We alluded briefly in our last issue to
the exhibition of “Awifricun rule,” which
the know-nothings gave ou Saturday even
ing when Mr. Wise came forward, at the
call of his friends in Washington, to res
pond to their congratulations The
National lutdligenceroi yesterday contain
a report of the remarks made by Mr.
Wise, prepared by a professional reporter,
in whose usual accuracy the editors of that
journal confide. We regret to be compel
led to add that the Intelligencer accompa
nies the publication of the proceedings
so discreditable to the parties who inter
fered to prevent the freedom of a speech
with no word of rebuke or dissent But
if .Mr. Wise was denied the right to say
all that the occasion called for, it will be
seen that what he did say was w the point
The report of the proceedings is as fol
lows:
“At nine, o’clock Mr. Wise as introdu
ced from the balcony to the auditory, and
was greeted wit applause by a portion of
the crowd and hoots ami hisses by another
portion, lie commenced his speech as
follows:
Fellow-citizens ut Washington, I nev

democracy—[here, as at every proceeding
sentence, there was a noisy interruption.]
“Mr. Wise then briefly related the trav
el performed and the oratorical toils en
dured by him during the canvass in Vir
ginia, and continued as follows:
“Notwithstanding that Sam had achiev
ed viotoriea in the North, 1 knew he could
not meet the masses of the people iu their

I “Speaking ironoally, Mr. Wise contin

Mr. Wise then withdraw, and crowds

ANECDOTE OF MHS. SIDDONS,
When Mr. John Home, author of the!
tragedy of Douglas, lived in Edinburgh he j
one day entertained at lunch the Lady |
Randolph of her day, the celebrated Mrs i
i Siddons. She was asked what she would
have to drink, and happened to mention “a
little porter.”
“John,” said Mr. Home to his serving j
man “vou’U get Mrs. Siddons a little por-.
ter ” ' |
Then the conversation went on as usual, |
John having meanwhile disappeared from
tho room.
“My dear,where is John? 1 want a
a slice of bread I really think his young
man will not suit us, my dear; he’s so very
stupid.”
After some fretting about John, the de
linquent suddenly came in, followed by a
stout, short Highlander from the street,
with a baldrick of ropes over his shoulder,
and a leaden badge on bis breast.
“Oh, sir,” quoth John, “I’ve been out,
to get the little porter for the Isdy; and !
here’s the very least one 1 could had on I
the street ”
The mistake, the aspect of the little i
porter undoing his topee, as for n job, nt j
the the door, and the puzzlement of the j
: ancient host, and his wife, were too much ;
for Mrs. Siddons, who went off into per |
feet shouts of laughter, and scarcely te
covered tranquility for half an hour.
THE FRENCH MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
DISMISSED.
Lt is said that some differences of opin
ion have taken place between the Lniperor
and his late Foreign Minister, in regard
to the manner in which he acquitted him
self as Plenipotentiary »t Vienna. It is
said that the Emperor has expressed his
strong disapproval of the disposition man
ifested by his representative at the Vienna
Conferoncea te accept the dishonorable i
and delusive terms ot peace from Russia, j
and that he condemns Drouyn de’Lhuys’ !
too great confidence in the good faith ot i
Austria. , _ i
The two French papers, of New York ■
“Ze P.-twts" and the “tfowrier deni
Etate L'uln’ comment freely and signifi- I
cantly upon the discharge of Drouyn de I
L’Huys, which they think important.— .
Tho “Courier” considers it, as indica-1
ting a new policy by the Emperor, of which ,
his Minister will not assume responsibility.
“Lo Progress,” which never owns up to
au “Emperor” but affects the phrase “M.
Bonaparte,” thinks an immense change
of policy is indicated. It looks to M.
Bonaparte’s resort to an alliance of “ the
People” instead of the alliance of “the
Kings ” and deems the selection of the
Polish-descended WaleWskL, to ihe post of:
Foreign affairs, —os a menace tu Austria
! and Prussia. What these Foreign papers ;
I think, remarks the New York J&prew, ia

A DOG STORY.
Many yearsago, an English ship was at
one of our docks, cn board of which was a
bull dog. The animal was so ferocious that
he gained an extensive reputation Chain
ed at the gangway of the ship, be spent
the livelong day in the hopeless task of
springing ut every pei eon who passed along,
either on pleasure orbuisness. The own
er. first mate of rite vessel, would sit for
hours and detail the wonderful deeds of
this mighty dog. Crowds of idlers daily
collected, and there stood the hero, or rath
er, there raved the insane creature at the
multitude, each individual indulging the
vague hope, that he would presently brake
loose and pitch into somebody, and thus
show his powers.
Among the idlers wasalndian whooccasion
ally visited the city, and made a few pence
by shooting an arrow at pennies stuck in
the end of a stick. Upon the apperance
of the Indian, the bull dog was particularly
violent, greatly to the amusement of the
fellow, who took a malicious pleasure in
irritating the animal The mute interferred
and told the Indian to go away, lest the
dog i tight break loose and eat him up.
The Indian, not the least alarmed, in bro
ken English annouced to the crowed, that
if the dug was brought down to the ground,
and chained to a post, he would, for five
dollars, fight the dog with nothing but his
hands and teeth The money was raised,
and the male, after expressing much reluc
tance st the ideaof Laving tho Indian killed,
brouih: the dog from thoship,and fasti-n>.d
him to a port. The Indian put away his
bow and arrow , his knife, laid hisbare u -ok,
and rolled up his shirt sleeves. A ring
was formed, and the battle oomuienoed.
The Indian approached thedog crawling!
on all fours, barking and growling, us if he I
I was one himself, the buil dog meanwhile
I jumped and fsuied at the end of his chain, i
i gnashed his teeth foamed at the mouth,
I while his eyes beamed living IweJrith irPi-j
i tation. The Indian, up his
I pantoioitue, gradually iirougnt his fitwin |
I fearful proximity to the dpg’s teeth Thej
J uiate now interferred, for he felt confident I
: the Indian would get killed; but the crowd :
| had become excited,- and insisted upon
■ ‘‘seeing tho thing out” A mutual silence
| ensued bet ween the combatants, the dog
j straining his chain in his anxiety to reach
the Indian, until it wa,a as straight aud
, solid as a bar of iron. Suddenly the In
dian seized the bull dog’s under-lip be
, tween his teeth, and in an instant whirled
himself with the dog over bis back. So
unexpected was the attack, and so perfectly
, helpless was the dog, with his feet in the
, air and his jaw imprisoned, that he reoov-
■ cring his astonishment only to give forth
! yells of pain; whereupon the Indian shook
i! him a moment as a cat dees a mouse, and
i let go bis hold. The dog, once so savage,
~ putting his tail between his legs retreated
I from hia enemy, and screamed with terror

NATIONAL ARMORY.
'I1»e need of a suitable depository*-for
i the care and preservation of the military
trophies of the revolutionary and other
i wars, and the safe-keeping of newly invt-n-
■ ted and model arm-t, and for other kindred
, purpoecs, has been felt for years. Many
|' such objects of intereat are now stored in
II various localities, awaiting a suitable place
for display. This is, however, to ba soon
i furnished, Congress having, at. the late
session, appropriated thirty thousand tlol
. 11ms for the erection of a suitable building
i on the public grounds. The armory is to
■ be used by the volunteers and militia of
: 1 the District of Columbia, under such reg
' I ulations as may be prescribed by the Pres
ident of the United Stotts
Yesterday, between one and two o’clock,
