The National Intelligencer, deploring

the overthrow of" tiie Missouri prohibr i'1.

There is on* great reason why we

keep Kansas from asking for admission into the Federal Compact, until a Congress can be elected on the anti-Nebras-ka principle, with a President to back them.

In all human probability Kansas will apply for admission before this change oan be brought about. What are we to do then? Are we to refuse her request? Can there be found one man who is an American at heart—a law abiding American—who would dare to cast such a vote, witt) the teachings of the past before him—with all precedents of the past staring him in the face? If so, that ma» is a traitor—he is a slave to fanaticism—he is a disunionist in the broadest sense of the term.

There is no question or principle now agitating the people, that turns even one thought towards the rejection of Kansas, only in the event that her constitution may recognise Slavery. Has any other State ever been refused upon this ground? Echo answers—none! What the use of agitating this vexed question, now?—all abolitionists seem to be in favor of ignoring the question I 0 consistency! thou art truly a virtue!

The Commissioners of this

county met on- Monday last, but made no appointments of Agents to sell liquor. Mr. JOHN YAGER:, on' giving proper bond, was authorized to manufacture beer. He can only sell out of the State.—Xew Albany Tribune.

He can only sell out of the State." Sol so, Mr. Tribune, if that was the case, the law would be, in itself, a nulity. The 4th section of the law says:

The County Commissioners of each county may give to' any person who shall apply in writing therefor, authority to rnanufacture spirituous and intoxicating liquors at such places within the county, as the Commissioners may designate and to sell the same at such ptaces only to the duly authorised agents of the several counties of this State."

Where is your permit to sell outside of the State Can't find any, eh

It is a singular fact, but nevertheless true, that evory defaulter in San Francisco is a Know Nothing. The moment they lose their characters they turn "patriot" and take to shooting Irishmen. Queer, is it not? What is tho cause? Who will respond?—Ev. Enquirer.

We would like to see the "papers" for that assertion. But, it is not a very singular fact, yet it is true to a letter, that every defaulter to the General Government, and also to Indiana, were Democrat?, and when they had thus lost their character, they immediately entered into the "political traffic in Irish votes," and no doubt would have taken to "shooting them" had they not been their best body guard—polically.

These thingsare, indeed, queer land the cause is well knowtf to you.

SpMeh of A. J. Donelson, it H6w York. Every Democrat should read the speech delivered by At J. Donelson, the nephew and private Secretary of Andrew Jackson. The speech was in response to the call at the great ratification meeting held at the Park on the evening of the 13th.

Mr. Donelson began by saying:

The mention of my name, on this important occasion, in connection with the Hermitage, and the hero and patrio', that word recalls to your memory, is a sufficient indication at the thought that is uppermost in your mind, and to which I must address myself. You desire to hear how I, an old friend and relative of Andrew Jackson—his private secretary during his Presidency, and for more than thirty ^ears, up to the lust hours of his life enjoying the freest acceas to 'ill his papers, and maintaining

Democracy of Jefferson, Mad-

HOW GENERAL PIERCE CAME INTO POWER. Franklin Pierce came into power, to use a sea-phraso, in the wake of the Compromise of I860. That measure(

At several places in New England Mr. Pierce stigmatized the opponents of that measure as moral traitors. He went so far as to compliment me for my services in what be called a battle for tho Union. He decaited thai in thnt battle he stood where General Jackson did. Now, call to mind what General Jack son did—what he said—and what the Democratic partv maintained when the country was the crisis to which Mr. Pierce alluded. Do you remember tho ordinance of Sotfth Carolina arming her citizens, establishing test oaths, and declairin^ her determination to carry into execution her threat of nullification? the proclamation of General Jackson, denouncing the whole proceeding as unauthorized, rebellious, and traitorous?—the fore* bill passed by Congre?,s with great promptness, enabling the President-to repel by force aM the opposition to the execution of the laws? And then, gentlemen, do you remember the unanimity with which not only the Democratic Party applauded its President, but how the great body of the A'mericnn people looking above party, and surveying only the good of the country, came forward* thousands and thousands, to testify their rcspcct for a statesman who faltered not in the performance of a high constitutional duty. Mr. Jefferson had uaid of General Jackson, after the victory of New Orleans, that he filled tho measure of his country's glory.

But the patriotic American people proclaimed when the 0 hero carried the Constitution, unhurt through the struggles with nullification that his name would hereafter stand by the side of Washington, as the preserver of the Union Yes, gentlemen, it was here, in Now ork, that countless thousands came forward to greet the old hero, and New England, not less than New York, sainted with the acclamation of joy,

siotl of laying the corner-stone of the new Capitol, the response of this Southern rights Democratic afreet was, that it Was a vain ceremony—^that the people of the South should be putting their arms in order* to Attack die North, instead of indulging hopes for the preservation of the Union. Gentlemen one of the first Acta of Mr. Pierce was to give the editor of that disunion sheet an important Consular and diplomatic office. And if you examine the character of his appointments generally, you will find tnat in every quarter of the country they have been marked by an open contempt for his profession as a friend of the doctrines of the Democratic party. Yes, gentlemen I assert, without the fear of successful refutation from any quarter, that the conduct of President Pierce is distinguished, if distinguished for anything, for insidious opposition to the doct ine always maintained by the Democratic party on the subject of State rights.

such statesman as Clny, Webster, Cftss and Houston, enlisted tho sympathies of the American people, and we wel-

or advancing the great

principles of a virttfofis administration. You have had the evidence, gentlemen, of this doctrine in your city,- when you saw the noble atfd honest Bronson thrflwrt down and Crushed because he woufd not become the instrument of a miserable attempt to concili te Abolitionists and Free Soilers, by sellingout the custom-house offices to tliein, as the huokster does his beef and his corn. And the spectacle which yoti have witnessed has been felt in every quarter of this wide Union. Nofr, compare'the practice of this Administration, on this subject, with that of General Jacltson, or eVery and all of his predecessors. The maiim has been to look to honesty, fidelity and capacity and above all, not to bring the patronage of the Federal Government into conflict with the freedom of elections. Why, gentlemen, so far froita looking to these conditions in the (i8e of the appointing power, it seems to be the duty of the Attorney-General to- telegrtiph, or cause to be telegraphed, oti the eve of important elections, just What is necessary to defeat candidates who have not given in their adhesion to this new school doctrine about State Rights Look at Washington and what do you see there that changes the view I have taltan of President Pierce's infidelity to the great principles of Democ-
