The weather was propitious, the preparal ion by the affable hosts tasteful and complete, the young folks were lively, and we Old people were never in better humor for the fun. Altogether, the party was a happy affair, and “breaks the ice ’ for a brilliant season, we have every reason to hope. We shall be gratified to chronicle many such this season, confident as we arc that noth ing so contributes to the attractiveness of our city as these reunions—the unfounded prejudice; of anti-terpischoreans to the contrary notwith standing. The unusual number of strangers present last evening attest the truth of our pro position. Laws of 1855-6. In its appropriate column will be found a card from B. B. DeGraffenreid, Esq , which will interest the legal profession of the city, and, in deed, of the whole State. He proposes to issue, at an early day, a pamphlet copy of the General Laws passed by the lust session of the Legisla ture, an enterprise for which he is eminently fitted, from his connection with the State Ex ccut’ve Department, and his familiarity with the acts t f the Legislature. It will be invalua ble to the profession, coming as it docs in ad vance of the official publication of the Laws, and will be entirely reliable. We do not donbt the work will find rapid sale, and will remuner ate Mr. DeGraffenreid for the labor he has be stowed upon it, thereby entitling himself to the obligations of the profession throughout the State. The .Penitentiary Bill. ’llie Governor has refused his sanction to the bill providing for the lease of the State Pein tentiary. This ww have from a reliable source. His objection to the bill is a constitutional one, as its caption provides for the “ lease or remo val,” while there is no provision in the body of the bill for the removal. In other words, the body of the bill is inconsistent with its title, while the constitution requires there shall be no such discrepancy. The error of omission no in itter where it reate, is a moat fortunate one for the State, we conceive. The “Border 1 ufflaus." The St. Louis Republican give the charge against the “border ruffians’’ of Mis ottri,’ o* arming for tile invasion Kansas, a flat denial.— It represents the true state of affairs in the following paragraph, which we clip from its Issue of March sth : Falsehoods about Kansas.—The latest Munchausen is, that the Missourians were mus tering for another invasion of Kansas on the 27th of this month—“a simultaneous attack upon I.emicnworth ivnd Easton appears to be in eon temptation by the Kickupoo Rangers, and o'her tinned companies along the Missouri lino.'' The fatal 47th has come and passed, and we have dlspatehe id a later date from first rate authority in Independence and all was quiet on that border and in Kansas. There hud Ken no inroad upon L°aveuworth or Euston or tatr rencu ; no nun have been nominated for any hostile purpose; and if the black republicans of Kansas will only obey the laws give up the tomfoolery about a State government, disperse the loafers who are employed as a guard about Isiwrenceand surrender all idea of making their brethren in the north believe that there is con stant. danger of their being "wiped on,” oy the border ruffians, there will continue to be pro found peace in that territory. The Atheneuiu. Despite tho damper thrown upon the perform inces by the envious clerk of the weather, the inusual attractiveness of the bills draws full and appreciative audiences nightly to the Athe neutn. Chanfrau and Albcrtiue have effectual - ly wou their way into the hearts of our people, and nothing less than such a shower as destroyed Sodom could keep them from the Atlumeum.— It is not necessary for us to occupy space in laudation of the respective performances of these two stars, whose advent was so anxiously ex pected and so enthusiastically hailed. Those who attend, no matter wliat their peculiar views, temperaments or tastes, raise a universal shout of approbation which puts to blm>h our poor effort of commendation. We can only record tlie gratification felt by our people, and repress ti c enthusiastic encomiums into which we would, any other circumstances, be betrayed, merely because they would appear too poor beside the heartfelt and substantial tributes paid, nightly, to true genius. Due thing we would remark, however, and that is the singular unanimity of our people in awarding, with seeming scrupulous exactness the same meed of praise to the two stars. Mr, Chaufrau, and Misu Albertite.-. Whether this arises from the equality of their talents, or from some other cause, we cannot say. We only no tice the conclusion, reached after a fruitless ef fort to detect the preponderance of popular fa vor for either. No matter wliat the cause of such an unusual balance in the scale of favor, it is certainly a compliment to each thnt no one is heard to express a preference for the acting of either—uml to the outsider, the conclusion is both natural and logical, that both are faultless where neither falls behind, it may be said that so far, the public view the race Ix-twcen these stars as •• nip and tuck.'' and while we look on. without any prejudice either wav. our speculation as to the final result is that thev will both win. bat with an inclination to pre dict that Albertijie will reach the string ■•/<-</<: inJis ahead.” A’otis Ferron. See proper col .umn for the bill to-night The Devil Amongst the Mail Bags. Our patience with the short-eomings of the mail, like Bob Acre's courage, liegins to ooze out at our fingers ends. So ’ougas our injuries were indirect we could hold onr temper com fortably enough, and give to our complainings a tone of iemonstrance; but when Uncle Sam's agents begin to finger our small stock of ready cash, it strikes us it is time to cense the appli cation of palliatives and call for correctives.— We know that in the wholesale anathemas launched by the press upon the Mail Depart ment, many chastigations fall upon undeserving shoulders, and we have been particular hereto fore in onr remarks to reflect nothing upon the innocent. The difficulty is, however, to indicate who are the guilty parties, and if Post Masters upon the different routes complained of would assist us in ferreting out the guilty ones, we might avoid giving much offence by placing the cap upon the right caput. Here is a case in point, and we have several on file, just like it: Batesville, March 8, 1856. Editors Atlanta Examiner— Dear Sirs : I enclosed four dollars to you the 26th of January last, for four copies of your Weekly Examiner. 1 put the money in the letter and sent it free; put the letter in the mail bag and locked it and delivered it to the mail carrier, and we have not received the pa pers, nor heard from you or the money since, and we begin to fear something is wrong about it. We would like to hear from you on the subject as soon aS possible. Yours, &c., JOSHUA SUTTON. P. M. The above letter is the first intimation we ever had of the subscriptions referred to. Mr. Sutton is a man every way reliable, and he says he sent the money ; Mr. Boyd, our I*. M. here, and his assistants are above suspicion, and there is uo probability that the onus rests upon either office. Now what’s the inference? The fact is, we have been robbed of four dollars, and the inference is that the robber is somewhere on the line between Batesville and this point—some official who itches for the. attention of the U. S. Marshal. Were this an isolated case, we would let it pass, without comment, but the growing fre quency of the occurrence alarms us for our pockets, and we can no longer submit to the injury, without at least protesting against its perpetration. It is useless to raise a ••muss" about the mat ter. If onr remittances amounted to hundreds, wc might expect to see efforts made to recover them or detect the offender; but the law doesn’t provide, it would seem, for the protection of those whose losses come inside a V. uo matter how frequently they may occur. We poo r Devils, who earn our scanty crust by the sweat of our brows, must put up with the peculation, of the Mail people, as best we can, though wc lose hundreds or thousands a year, we have uo redress but to grumble, while the lordly mer chant who losses his single draft of fifty dollars commands the attention of the mail police, and not unfiequeutly gets the whole or part of his money back, together with the satisfaction of seeing the offender receive his just deserts. If wc were met in the street by a ruffian, who taking advantage of our physical incq mlity with himself, should appropriate the scanty change we carry about our person, we could with a single cry for help, put upon his track u host of active policemen, who would ,at least give us the fun of a foot race, as an equivalent for our money, and we would say to those who riot upon the remittances to our paper, that if they w ill allow us this poor consolation, we w;P grumble no more, but toil on with in reaped effort to r< place the amount. Now we have no suspicion as to who are in terested (besides ourselves) in this last roobery, and we havn't a very distinct idea of what part of Georgia Batesville is in, hence wc cannot in dicate the route responsible for our four dol lars. 5Vc don’t desire to reflect unjustly upon anybody,mu! tlipinnpecnt will, of course, take no offence when we say that we are satisfied there is at least one black sheep between this point apd , Batesville I Whoever he is, can accomodate ns, and probably increase his stock of pelf, by turning his attention to somebody rise's letters, or at leaut give us the privilege of once hand ling the renumeratioi] I’t.r onr labors before he deprives us of its enjoyment. Popping them Occasionally. In the March nuinlsr of Godey’s Lady's Book is n Revolutionary Sketch, in the course of which a lud is introdtical upon the scene who afterwards became president of the United States. Il was when Gates had been defeated at Camden and Sumter was surprisal in his camp, that refugees from South Carolina went flying, in squads, by families, mid sometimes singly, to a place of greater security further north. Old Mrs. Barite t lived in Mecklen burg County. North Carolina, upon the road which nimt of these unfortunates passed in their flight. Many of them stoj.ped aud partook of her patriotic hospitality to the extent of a hasti ly prepared meal und sometimes u night's lodg ing. Sumter hiluself was her guest for an hour or two. lu a little while news cmne that the British were advancing upon Charlotte. The old kidy was of eonrse upon the lookout for fresh intrlligcnci'. «ud imiuired eagerly of every traveller. Aim! here the mention of lhe afore said lad, "who afterwards became President,” comes in: Mrs. Barnett, standing at the door and look ing anxiously down the road, perceived some one upproaehing. "Sukey, and Jenny Brown,” she cried, addressing her own child, and the pretty daughter of lier guest, "run out to the road mid inquire the news.” The traveller was a lad on a sore!r jaded horse: the face of the rider was very long ai..l sunburnt. Susannah , askal him whence be came ? “F rotn the Wax-1 haws,” wus his reply. "Doyon know Major Crawford?'’ "To be sure 1 do. he is my uacle. ' "And who are you?” ••My name is Adnrew Jack.-en." “What is the news about the British? ' •They are on tlwir way to Charlotte." I ••What Are you doing down there?*' "Why, we are popping them occasionally." I'iic kmg. slender face of the stripling w;us! lit up with aplesaut smile, and bowing with] the grace mid case of a polished gentleman, he I said, -Good morning, ladies,” and went on his: way. As he passed the house. Mrs. Barnett bad a full view of his yellow cheeks and long : face, and she laughed heartily when she heard ] of his remark about "poping" the enemy.

For the ' balance, dispensation can be received by ispe I cial bulls from the Pope of Rome ‘ I American and English Navies. As the subject of wa between Great Britain and the United States is considerably agitating the public mind of both countries, the compar ative strength of the two navies becomes a matter of much interest. We have looked at the U. S. Navy Register for 1856, a volume which, with its lists of officers, laws, general orders. &c., contains one hundred and thirty-six pages, two of which, however, are sufficient to give the names, rates, place of building, situa tion, and every other particular interest of our vessels of war. According to this list, there are in the Amer ican Navy, ton ships of the line, thirteen frig ates. nineteen sloops of war, three brigs, one schooner, seven screw steamers, Ist class; one screw steamer, 2d class; two screw steamers, 3d class; three side wheel steamers, Ist class; one side wheel steamer, 2d class; five side wheel steamers, 3d class; three steam tenders, six store ships, and the permanent receiving ves sels—making in all, seventy-six vessels of war belonging texthc U. 8. Navy, and currying in all two thousand three hundred and eighty-five guns. Os these ships, there are in commission, that is, employed on some sort of service or other, (though scattered all over the face of the. world.) two ships of the line, both of which, however, are used as receiving ships; four frig ates, thirteen sloops of war ; two brigs; one screw steamer, Ist class; one do.. 2d class; one do., 3d class ; one side wheel steamer, Ist class ; one do., 2d class; three do., 3d class; two steam tenders ; four store ships, and two per manent receiving vessels. Os the vessels in commission, not receiving ships, we have on our own coast, ready for immediate use, noth ing but the Home Squadron, consisting of one frigate, of fifty guns; two sloops, of twenty guns each ; and one small steamer, of flveguns. Tee rest are in the Pacific, Coast of Brazil, Coast of Africa, East Indiesand Mediterranean —all of them too far off to help either the coun try or themselves, i any emergency that might arise. It will be observed, too. that of our small navy, only twenty-two, large and small, are propelled hy steam. The rest is all sail vessels, and utterly worthless in a contest, with steamships. On the other hand, what is the state of the British Navy? We find in a late letter of a London correspondent of the New York Her ald, that the British naval force in commission, on the Ist of January, 1856, was three hundred and twenty-five vessels, carrying 6,231 guns and sixty-three thousand three hundred and thirty five men! Probably at least two-thirds of these are steam vessels. Os this immense force, there are on cur own eastern and western coasts and in the West Indies, thirty-eight vessels, carry ing eight hundred and nine guns, and eight thousand men ! On the 14th of February last, there were in commission at Portsmouth, sixty five men of war, of which one was a first rate, of 131 guns; one second rate, of 90 guns ; two frigates, of 50 guns; a store ship, of 42 guns ; (all screws;) two paddle steam sloops, of 6 guns ; and five mortar vessels. This large fleet could reach our coast in two weeks, making with the British vessels of war, already on our coast, one hundred and three powerful war ships, a larger number than the whole Ameri can Navy put together, not more than a dozen ships of which, at the very outside, could be gotten ready to meet them' In addition to the great squadron in commis sion at Portsmouth, and that already upon our coasts, there were on the 14th of last month, at various nava! stations in England, of vessels complete and being brought forward, twelve steamships, together of forty-six hundred horse power, and carrying five hundred guns, besides eleven gun boats, and other large vessels, not at present, in readiness for sea. It is not too much to say, that, were war between the United States and England to occur within a month, there would be at least a hundred and fifty large steamships of war off our eoast, and, in another month, we should have the whole Brit ish Navy on our hands. The ships we have now at sea could never get back, the ships in our ports never could get out; for, setting aside the fact owing to the defenceless condition of our harbors, an enemy’s fleet could steam into every port on the Atlantic and the Pacific, a - d destroy our navy-yards and all their armaments, we could not put to sea as in the late war, lie cause <njr sail vessels have steam vessels to wain and overtake them, which was not the case to our last contest with Great Britain, Moreover, an active and powerful enemy, once getting pcssession of our coast defences and naval sta tions, it would boa difficult and tedious matter to dilodge them. This is a gloomy picture, but it is made up of facts and figures, and not of imagination.— It shows the penny-wise, pound-foolish policy of refusing to establish a Navy commensurate in magnitude with the commercial interests, to say nothing of the honor and safety of the country. Even now. with the public mind agitated by the apprehensions of war with such a naval power as that of Great Britain, a proposition to build a dozen steam-sloops of war is regarded as a very formidabledemoustra tion! Whether we arc to have a war now or not, our only permanent safety is to found in a large increase of our naval force. A single year of war. tn our present condition, would cost us more than it would require to establish an udeqate Navy, und keep it in commission for a quarter of a century. On the whole, if we can possibly avoid a collision with Great Britain at this time, wc wcnld better do it by all pteans, and then go to work and put our selves in a condition in which our weakness will no longer provoke insult and aggression fpnn foreign countries. If, however, war is now forced upon us us, we must make up onr mind to suffer disasters and losses for one or two years, c nmpared with which those of Russia during the present contest in the East are mere trifles, and to devote the whole resources of the nation for ten,twenty or fifty years, if neees ary. to redeem our honor and avenge onr wrongs.— H ichmond Dispatch. The .Missing Steamer. For the purpose of indicating how loosely anil hastily conclusions are sometimes drawn, we refer to a statement which appears in part of yesterday's ucwh by the British mail steamer Arabia, and the c-'uiim nl thereupon bv the re porter, r.s follows : "The steamship Edinburgh, previously re ported to have arrival at Glasgow from New York, possal on 7th of February a quantity of ice, aud saw upon it some broken cabin lu’nii i tare with while handies, and a lady's work box. I It is suggested that this might have belonged I to the Pacific ; but ns the Pacific had uo cabin ] or other furniture with white handles, the agent > in this city is confident that the portions of the , wreck here nlludal t<> never lie'oitged to that • vessel.— Hep. Now, can any language be more agonizing iu its uncertainty aud vagueness to any one | who may have friends upon the missing, than , that above used. We are not told at what ■ distance these objects were seen, whether near I at hand and distinctly visible to the naked eye, ] or at such an interval il,at th : .- tek-scope was re i quirexl. j Through the telescope, an object even as ] small as a lady's workbox might be distiuguish i ed so as to convey some certainty of what it I was. although the beholder could not fix the character of the material: for. whether it was of wood, metal, or papier mache. So, then, with the bandies spoken of—articles smaller again than the workbox : they might have been seen, and hare app»red white, in the distance, without really being of any such color. You might distinguish their form, outline and eenc ral appearance, and yet not be able to tell posi ] lively whether their whiteness was in the niate ' rial of which they were composed, or was occa i sioaed by a evatiug of ice or saqw! To prove ] that this whole statement is founded upon mere j gues-ing. we have only to remark the vagueness jof the term ' furniture.’' We a e not told whether it was a table or p c'>est of drawers.— j If this furniture had been used as a float, or i buoy, by some passenger endeavoring to escape. what i> moie likely than hat he may Lave i lashed himself to it. or have tied on the first handkerchief, tow I. ot pieao liaes. within reach to serve him for a hold ? And what better or more convenient par: for any such tr ing could he have found than these proj.cting handles ? Thea pieces cr fragments of the lin ea left clinging around the handles would mak" them appear white, even without their satura- j tiou with water, subsequently congealing. : If it was at all necessary to go solar, in order to rebuke this intelligent style of news-tnonger iug, we might even doubt the certainty of the officer's vision who reports this circumstance, and less this idea should be too indignantly re jected, we would remind our readers that it is precisely at sea and on railroads that the most startling cases of phenomenon termed “ color blindness ” have been discovered, and to such extent, too, that it is proposed in Great Bri tain to abandon the use of colors as signals, and substitute forms, such as squares, triangles, &c., er other images borrowed from nature.— It has been proven, beyond a peradventure, that many frightful accidents on the rail and at sea were the result of this strange infirmity, in pre cisely the men who had been especially selected as captains, pilots, engineers, and conductors.— The latter were in many cases, unconscious of their own defect , and in others, with full knowl edge, studiously endeavored to conceal it. for fear of losing their places. While, then, we have nothing in the above to show that the fragments seen did belong to the Pacific, there is likewise not a little of evidence that they did not. Yet it is upon con jecture like this that certain people go, with a hop, step and a jump, to a final conclusion, drop the subject, and so let slip the clue by which the fate of a noble ship and hundreds of human beings might be traced. A further despatch, which will be found un der the head of the Arabia’s news, is a little more complete and sensible, and brings us near er to an assurance of calamity : but still it fails in the higher requisites of intelligence, and the public mind is only left a prey to keener anguish than before. Now, an observation of the particular up pearance, certain marks, ornamental work. Are. on the door and furniture seen would have af forded the most valuable and perhaps decisive information. However, the opportunity is gone and may never recur, so far as the Pacific is concerned. She may have passed away from all human investigation forever, and we cannot deplore the indifference with which this chance has been slighted. The look-outs on the Edin burgh, if they have done no better than this, would make but very poor reporters or detect ive policemen, wc greatly fear. Howexer, we have net relinquished hope for the gallant vessel. She may be snug enough in some port of the 'Western Islands, awaiting the completion of temporary repairs to make her way home: or the sailing vessel Jtliat bears us news of her thence, may, even now, be tossing on the billows near our coast. Be that as it will, how eloquent is the mute language of those scattered fragments seen upon the ice ! “Ornamental cabin doors.” torn from the luxurious interior of some noble ship, and alter buoying up some poor wretch to the ice, remaining there, the last silent witness of his despair I “A lady's work box”—belonging to some wife, some sister, some beloved child—the gift of parental or conjugal love, perhaps, or the last souvenier of friendship !-now c ontain ing it may be, if it still floats on that lonely ice flake, in the wide ocean, the ring, the min iature, or the owner—the last that remains of her, if even that remain, above the grave 1 But the raveing sea has. long ere this, en gulfed these last testimonies of human agony, how solitary or how multiplied we know not, and while we deplore the necessity, if such it was, that prevented their recovery or mdenti fication, we can but murmur our sad prayer for the lost and unreturning, and our heart felt sympathies for the friends who mourn them Phriphatc Lettlier from Paddy on flie Difficulty.

The Kansas Question: Stand by the Constitution and the. Laws. It the telegraph reports arc right, the party convention that met first at Big Springs, in Kansas, has at length, at Topeka, emerged into a full grown government. The new State of authorities, the report reads, were inaugurated on the 4th inst. Now Kansas has a governor, a legislature, and judicial authorities existing in pursuance of a law of congress ; recognized by the President of the United States; and there fore, a government which all judicial tribunals, all persons in authority, all good citizens are bound to recognize. Now, in Kansas, is also auotlwr set ot men claiming executive, legisla tive and judicial authority ; which it. is claimed out ot Kansas should be recognized by “ every friend of freedom;” and fanatic laymen and clergymen, are urging the duty and the necessity of sending to this new organization, in order to sustain their cause, men, money, ammunition, and Sharp’s rifles. And u portion of the press is urging men on to the parricidal work in which the agents of this-new government have embarked. Let us again characterize this work of these fanatics; of the men and the presses engaged in stimulating them on. As there appears to Ixt, in quarters where we should least expect it, a strange laek of discrimination us to vital and fiwdamental points, let us remark, first, in the words ot t'hiel Justice Taney’s elaborate opin ion in the case <>t Lntber vs. Borden :—“ No one has ever doubtal the proposition that, ac cording to the institutions of this country, the sovereignty in every State resides in the people ot the State, and that they may alter and change their form of government at their own pleasure.” This is is not the question here. Kansas is not a State sovereignty ; and if Kansas were a State, and had come into the Union, and had assumed obligations of the constitution, it had assumed | the duty of doing its part to protect its sister States from domestic violence; for tlie constitu tion guaranties to each State protection from 1 a domestic violence; congress has made ample 1 provision for the full exercise of this guaranty; the I’resid‘ nt must of necessity be the judge of the mode of executing the laws; and when the I’resident annoimces his decision all are bound !to follow his example. This garantv is simply ; n mode of arresting anarchy, mob law; that I horror of horrors, civil war. But. it should be borne in mind that the Kan sas case is not the case of a sovereign State, but of a depenilent territory. Let us state things again precisely. At tlie Big Springs conven tion the Robinson party openly avowed, in their resolutions, that their direct purpose was j to resist by force the territorial laws ; to set : aside the existing authority; to set up at every hazard a new government;’ to do this, if need be, by force. In a word, the object of the new government is to supercede by force a govern ment established by the United States. And these men in Kansas choose to characterize the duty which devolves on the President of execu ting the laws, of maintaining the authority of | congress, as a war on the free State men ;’ and those fanatic laymen and clergymen who are putting forth homilies on the virtues of Sharp's rifles, are deluding the people with the idea that to put down these Topeka insurrectionists is to war upon freedom! Wc entreat all good citizens and true patri ots to re-examine this question. No sophistry can cover up the fact that this new govern ment, if it proceeds to exercise authority, will be bald insurrection, overt treason. have cited the opinions of Chief Justiff- •> shall and Chief Justice Taney bearing on t*v - u t Language could not be mure decided. We \ " cite a collation of other opinions in Serge,. X Constitutional Law. This learnal jurist says— “An insurrection, the object of which 'is to suppress an office of exercise established under a law of the United Stales, aud to compel the resignation of the excise officer, and marching with a party to the house of such officer in arms, niarshailed and arrayed, and committing acts of violence and outrage there, with a view to render void an act ort’ongress, or to prevent its execution, by force or intimidation, is a levying of war against the United States. So if u body of people conspire and meditate an insurrection to resist or oppose the execution i of astatute of the United States by fora-, they I are only guilty of a high misdemeanor; but, if they proceed to carry such inteu i into *>xe- I cut ion by force, they are guilty of •■■ tr ot levying war, and the quentum of e forex j employed neither increases nor dimii.'s es the crime; whether it be one hundred or one I u sand persons is immaterial. And any com oi nation, to subvert by force, the government of the LTuital States, violently to dismember the Union, to compel a change in the administration, to coerce the repeal or addoption of a general law, or to revolutionize a territorial govern ment by force, although this be merely n step to, or a means of executing some greater pro jects, is a conspiracy to leavy v.ar, and if the conspiracy be carried into effect by tlie em bodying and assembling of men in force, and in a military posture, for the purp e ofexe uting the design, it is treason by levyi war.” There is uo avoiding the conclusion 1 t, ac, cording to the constitution and the lawsat. the decisions of the supreme court, those in K - sas who are engaged in resisting the laws a, engaged in the work of insurrection ; and their aiders and abettors, whoever they niay be, are involved in their guilt, They shonld 'be held up, in every community, as ineiters to treason against the constituted authorities of the Uni ted States. Our articles taking this fundamental view of this question, have been very widely circu lated. Among the presses that have copied some of tlem, is that influential rieligiousjourn al, the New ork Observer. It aceompained one ot these articles—embodying the opinions of Chief Justice Taney and Marshall—with an elaborate editorial. This commencesas follows: "On the first page of this paper we have placed an article from the Boston Post on the Kansas Question. It brings to view certain ! facts, and enforce) some arguments that cannot • fail to have great weight with all candid minds, | and we would almost indulge the hope that the ' minds of heated partizans would be arrested • for a moment by the truths and principles there i laid down.” * i In wh Iwe have written we have left out lof view entirely, as having uo legitimate bear i ing. the question of local evils; and those who i choose to represent us as defending illegal e- I lection-’, or disgraa ful legislation, basely inis- I represent our position, and know they ’do it. 1 lhe idea that the friends of the Nebraska I bill v.0u1.l justify illegality under it is absurd. I \Ve have portrayed accurately the rebellious , course o! the fanatics ; we have portrayed the I character of those who are engaged in the parrici ! dal course of sending Sharp’s rifles to C Robins, >o, j we have directed attention to the presses that i have countenanced or defended tlie rebellious I course of the free State men in Kansas. This is what we have written. I f sound princip'es of con stitutional law prevail—the principles that thus far have carried our country onward and up- gloriously—“very soon." we agree with the New York Observer, “the politicans and preachers who are now counselling rebellion and sending rifles to aid it, will be regarded as seditious or deluded inen.” Rumored Disaffection in Canada.—A To- ; louto correspondent of the New York Dailv Times writes on the 4th inst : A portentous story is at the present moment passing from mouth to mouth, and meets with some degree of credence. It is confidently sta ted that a plot bus been discovered, haring for i its object the placing of Canada under the i banner of the stars and stripes, and that a num i lwr of men holding high offices in this country ! are implicated in it. It is said that Mr. Sew ard. sometime ago in the United States Senate, Spokp of the probable conduct ofCanmla in the event of war with England, he proeeedel not qn a vague estimate of the sta e of public feeling, but on tangible documentary evidence, in the ■ shape of letters from influential parties on this i side, then actually in his hands, And it is ad-; ded. that the conspirasy has been blown upon, and that the Governor General is now in pos session of the names us eight members of the Canadian Parliament, and of a number of Canadian Magistrates, who have been engaged in treasonable correspondence with Mr. Sew ard. [From th« Savannah Georgian.] The Kansas Contested Election. We have before us the majority and minor ity reports, to the House of Representatives, with accompanying documents, on the Kansas contested election. They are too long to lie inserted in full in our columns ; they bring to light, indeal, no new facts, and are principally valuable as connected and detailed arguments on the question discussed. We shall, therefore, content ourselves with a statement of the prin cipal facts of the case, from which our readers may see how small is the capital upon which the contestant and his party are operating. 1. Mr. Whitfield holds his seat as Delegate from Kansas by virtue of a certificate of elec tion duly made and signed by the Governor of the Territory, and the oath of office administered t» him as such. Prima facie, then, he is the rightful Delegate. 2. Ex Governor Reeder contests the seat, not claiming to have been elected at any elec tion authorized by law—he was noteven a can didate. His claim rests solely upon pretended votes, cast for him at illegal gatherings of the people, acting in open hostility to the regularly constituted authorities of the Territory, under their organic law. Nor does he even present any certificate or evidence of his having been chosen Delegate by these revolutionary assem blages ; clearly, then, whatever may be Whit field’s claim, Reeder has none, whatever. In view of these facts, the friends of Whit field very justly contend, that as it stands, this is an “ improper contest.” and should not be entertained by the House. 4. Reeder’s friends, however, go on to allege that the law under whi- ’ Whitfield wus elect ed, and certifiai by i Governor as the du.y chospn delegate f Kansas, was invalid und void, because s they affirm, the Legislature that passed it were not properly elected them ■lid not legislate at a projier place.n eld replies that this raises a questio the House has no jurisdiction, Un stitution it is made the sole judge cation and election return of its rs. So in the several State and T 1 Legislatures, each houso is the sole and “ nte judge on these matters in their resjS'r organizations. As to the luw under w ■ , i oriwas elected, it was passed by the Le g " t re in pursuance of an act of Congress, mil ;vs upon its face the verity, and has the sa a• > notion of the regularly-constituted au tli tti .as the public laws of any of the Stales o> > y I' the other Territories. . I'; • Mr. Whitfield denies that the Legisla ture', by virtue of whose enactment he holds his seat, was improperly elected. The election of the 30th of March for members of the legisla ture of Kansas was held in pursuance of Reed er’s own proclamation, as the duly authorized and acting Governor of the Territory. The election districts were laid out, the superinten dents appointed by himself. Besides for months afterwards, Gov. Reeder recognized the legisla ture so elected as the regularly constituted le gislative authority of the Territory—several times in the most formal and solemn manner.— How then, can he now, with any degree of truth and consistency, assert the contrary ? 7. Mr. Whitfield also denies that the le gislature of Kansas “did not Legislate at a proper place.” It is true Gov. Reeder did veto the act moving the I egislature from Pawnee City to Shawnee M’ -ion- and reasons connect ed with his laud ‘ ulations could be assigned for his veto—' n otl Houses, however, passed the bi 1 w't't j) .■ i r an a two-third vote ; and it was accord gh carried over the veto. 8. Again, Ke.der alleges that several huu u.sd illegal votes were cast, for the sitting Dele g. to at tlie election. 9. It is contended, in reply, that, granting tnis to ba so, it does not make a ease sufficient to displace the sitting member, unless it also be shown that Reeder, or some other person at the same election, received more legal votes than he did. This the minority consider a well settled principle by repeated decisions in the House.— If the pel’ l , for instance, in this case,showed,as it is s: , twenty-nine hundred votes for the sit ting ■ negate, and it be true, as asserted, that »"• al hundred, or even twenty eight hundred, •' them were illegal, yet he would still have one i Hundred legal votes to go upon, and to hold I his seat upon, unless it be shown that someoth | er person received more than one hundred equal- I ly legal votes. These, so far as we can see from a careful aniination of the documents, are the essential p i in the Kansas election case. Tlie Re pul licaiis have of couree a majority in the House, and can decree, if they please, that black is white, or red is yellow; but how, with any appearance of decency, they can give Whitfield’s seat to Reeder, surpasses our comprehension. A Case in Austria.—The following from the “correspondence of the New York Herald,’’ purports to have been written in Berlin, ojj the 1 9th of February ; A very serious misunderstanding has for a long timecxistal between the American Ministe at Yiennaand the Austrian government, in re ference to the arrest and imprisonment of an American citizen named Spear, who, after sev en months confinement, during which he wqs not permitted to pommunicqte, in any way with even his minister or consul, was tried on 31st of March, 1854, by a secret and unknown tri bunal, convicted of treason, and sentenced to ten years labor in irons in tlje trenches Rt Theresienstadt, in Bohemia. Mr. Jackson, two weeks ago yesterday, demanded a properly cer. tiffed copy of the testimony suid to have been used in the conviction of Spear, and informed Count Buol in his note that unless he received an affirmative answer within four weeks, he should, at tne expiration of that time, withdraw from a court where he could no longer remain with honor to his country or advantage to its citizens, As there is no probability that the desired answer will be forthcoming or that any testimony really existed against the man. Mr. Jackson may be expected to leave Vienna shortly after you receive this. I will send you a detailal account of the whole case by the next mail. I devoted more tl an a week in Vienna to a thorough Investigation of all the facts and correspondence connected with it, and have no hesitation in saying that if it does not furnish the most abundant and unmistaka ble material for prompt and decidal action on the part of our governmrnt, the State Depart ment ought, in common justice, to have a few lines printed on the back of his passports, noti fy the Ijearers that on departing from theU. 8. they necessarily leave their nationality liehind. The fact is. the whole of the German Powers have liecome bloated with insolent self-conse quence from the unmerited consideration which their position of treachrous neutrality has ob tained for them during this war. The Presi dent's message—though to my mini a noble document—is generally regarded by European statesine it and diplomatists as entirely Pick wickian in its declarations. So ranch’ for the non-fulfilment of the inaugural. I trnst. how ever, they may find themselves mistaken Negro Diplomatists.—The Loudou corres pondent of the New York Herald says : ■ "The negro representative ofSoulonque made his appearance this week at the Queen's levee, and in spite of all the alfected sympathy of the English for free “niggers," he was avoided as something “odious and not to be endured." A good joke of our Minister at Paris, Mr. Mason has come over here. He was at a Court ball lately at the Tuillerie.-, and his eyes happened to light on the Charge d'Atfaires of Soulourjue in France, a l lne looking black, riome one observing his steady gaze, said: -Well Mr. Mason, what do you think of vender blackee in his embroidered coat ?” “Think,” replied Mr. Mason, still regarding the negro with the eye of a connoisseur, -why. clothe* and al), I think that fellow is worth a thou&qnd dollars." This is ‘Old Virginny,’ all over, and every body is laughing at the 6on mot.” Know Nothing candidate for sher iff (once a Democrat) in Davidson county, Tenn., was beaten by an anti-Knowing Whig.

InsurrectioiraiKl’-Treason. The’ following extracts from an elaborate ar ticle in the chief organ of black republicanism, the New York Tribune, will be useful in ena bling lovers of law and order and friends of the Union to understand the treasonable purposes and counsels which control those who are seek ing to supercede the constituted authorities in Kansas by revolutionary means. The first ex tract contains an admission that ever since the passage of the Nebraska bill the black republi cans have been pouring free settlers into Kan sas, with Sharpe’s rifles. Let it be remembered that it is upon this fact, now for the first time authoritatively admitted, that the counteracting interference of the border Missourians has been palliated. 8o soon as the Nebraska bill passed the abolitionists declared their purpose to cen tre I the future domestic policy of Kansas by pouring into the Territory tree settlers well armed with Sharpe’s rifles. The threat was immediately put into execution. This was the origin of the troubles in Kansas. But read the proof Tribune: “ The people of Kansas, and the friends of freedom for Kansas, must continue to do what they have ban doing ever since the passage of the Kan sas-Nebraska bill. Conforming to the principle of squatter sovereignty, on which that bill as sumes to found itself, they must pour free seltlrrs into Kansas, well armed with Sharpe’s rifles, nr other convenient weapons, wherewith to defend themselves against the border ruffians who may attempt to cut their throats, insult their wives, maltreat their children burn their house-, and' drive them out of the Territory.” Passing over several paragraphs of impotent v.tuperation heaped upon the friends of the great principle of the Nebraska bill, we next make an extract showing the recklessness of the desperation with which the head traitors are seeking te bring on a conflict of arms in Kan sas. If we are not deceived in the devotion of the masses everywhere to the maintenance of the laws, the violence which eharacterizes such appeals as the following will produce a revul sion in the popular mind which will submerge black republicanism under a loud of odium from which it will never escape: “ There is but one path before us, and that is a straight one. We have but to go straight ahead ; we have but to keep on doing what we have done; we have but to maintain the a.lvan vantage we have gained. “ Navigation is opened. The rivers are high; now is the time Pour into Kansas, brave men and true, with your rifles in your hands, and range yourselves by the side of the brave men there already, who, during the past winter, han done and suffered so much to maintain theii rights and yours, the great right and cause of | all the North—freedom for Kansas.” The next extract presents the inducements held out to young men at the North to pour into Kansas; first, those who desire “glory,” and, next, those who want the “quarter section of land,” are appealed to 1 The “glory” of committing treason in an armed resistance of the laws! “Tour quarter section of land.” If such madness as this does not indicate the ear ly overthrow of black republicanism, wo are wholly mistaken in the patriotic and law-loving sentiments of the young men not only of the North, but of the whole country. But read : “Young men full of ardor, enthusism, and thirst for action and glory, now is your time! This is no fillibusteriug expedition, of which the object is to rob others. You go only to claim your own—your own, guaranteed to you by the very provisions of the Kansas act itself —your quarter section of land and your rights as a sovereign squatter. But you go not for yourselves alone; you go for us all ; not merely to claim your own land, and to claim your in dividual rights, but as the representatives of frealom and the free States, tore-establish over Kansas the Missouri prohibition, and to save the Northern States from being first dehidal and cheated at Washington into accepting the squatter sovereignty principle in exchange for the Missouri prohibition, and, upon going to Kansas to exercise this squatter sovereignty, being kicked out of the house by the border ruffiians.” Following this appeal to the ardent love of “glory” and of the quarter section of land” of the young men is a tame invocation to the pock ets of the old men, as follows: “As there will be no want of yountr men and true, with bold hearts aud strong arms, to go upon this enterprise, so wc trust there will lie no want of money, which is at once the sinew of war. and the stimulus of peaceful occupations. Those of us who are too old to go, or are de tained here by indissoluble ties or other duties, can freely contribute not only to the general funds of the various emigrant aid societies, but to the private outfit of worthy men qualified to make good citizens in Kansas. This treasonable appeal is then enforced as follows: “Above all, let there be no lack of arms, and those of the most efficient sort. Plenty of arms and plenty of men to use them arc the only guarantee against the massacre and expulsion, before the summer is over, of the free-State men now in Kansas. Nothing but their Sharpe’s riflqp and their courage prevented the massacre and expulsion of the Jiawreace men lust win ter." Against all this passionate invocation of mor al treason we rely upon the love of order and the devotion to the laws of the land which an imate oqr people. We need not say that this eternal iteration and reiteration of Sharp’s ri fles has no terrors for the men who are the ob jects of attack. The majesty of the law will be maiutainal by the federal government— peaceably, if possible—forcibly, if it must be ; and if force must be resorted to, then let the law determine whether treason is to go unpun ished. The Governorship of Wisconsin. Madison, Wis., March 8. Governor Barstow has sent a message to the legislature denying the jurisdiction of the Su preme Court in the matter of the Governorship, and avowing his determination to resist any in terference with his rights. A Democratic meeting had, also, been held, at which it was resolved to support Gov. Barstow. Wc have already stated the facts pertaining to this case. A return notoriously fraudulent was made from one of the counties to the office of the Secretary of State, and counting it with the legal returns (which we presume the Secre tary was compelled to do,) Barstow had a small majority in the entire State; he was thus declared re-electal. But Bashford applied to the Supreme Court for redress, and that tribu nal has rendered a decision in his favor. Bars tow has taken the oath for a new term, and is still the acting Governor. We believe that one House of the Legislature sides with Barstow and the other with Bashford ; one has reported the return by which Barstow was declured to be re-elected fraudulent and void, aud we are not informed that the majority of the other House deny the correctness of this re; ort. The ca»e presents some novel features, involving the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in the mat ter, the duty of the Secretary of State in refer ence to returns evidently false, and the remedy after a Governor has been officially declared elected and sworn into office upon a fraudulent return of votes.— Col. Sun. —— —♦ •♦ *- —— Vattei, os Recruiting.—Vattcl, the most generally accepted authority on international law,says: "Whoever undertakes toenlist soldiers in a foreign country, without the sovereign’s permission, and in genera), whoever entices away the subjects of another State, violates one of the most sacred rights of the prince and the nation. The erime is distinguished by the name of kid napping, or man stealing, and is punishable with the utmost severity in every well regulated State. Foreign recruiters are hanged without mercy, and with great justice. It is not pre sumed that their sovereign has ordered them to commit a crime; and supposing even that they had received such an order, they ought not to have obeyed it, their sovereign having no right to command what is contrary to the law of na ture. * ‘ But if it appears that they acted by order, such a proceeding in a foreign sovereign is justly considered as a sufficient cause for declaring war against him, unless he makes suitable reparation.—( Vattet) Drrnt des Gens, 1 Hi, ch. i., p. 299.
