For this sag state eiraffeirs we were not altogether Unpree! Pared. - From the day on ;which it became! apparent that theelfree e State met lergelv *predominated in Kansas, one thing wetsi i.ure—they never wonlel eouriteilape'e thej great swindle attempted . by Pro-Slavery; partisans and Mieseurt borderers, not sub te have institutions thrust upon them by the violence of a minority', even though ' • - .tht minority was backed up by the whole Power of the Federal Government. 'I • Every one 'remembers' the excitement pn the Kansas question that pervaded the -whole North - and'West . diirine. the Presi dential 'eanVas in 1856. It may be re-! ;timbered, too, .that even then the peo ple of Kansas were in arms against their pppreisors. After the election and ipatie; guration of Mr. Be.chanee, however, the excitement was allayed, and this cireum stance was seized c.n by some as evidence! that the Kansas agitation was only a trick to defeat the Democratic candidate and place the General Government in the . hands of c;esigniclg men. It 'established, they declared', ell that had been charged against the !‘ shriekers fur Freedom" the friends of «bleeding Kansas." How far President Buchanan and his advisers were imbued'svith• this idea we know not, though there has been note little, in the bourse lately pursued by the Administration, to i lead the country to suppose that they all held similar opinions. 'lf this be so, they . are grossly mistaken. Their view has been far too limited, and shows that, after all, they have failed.to understand the pen- pie of this country, and have misread all I the circumstances of Mg colonial end ne tionaf history. The quiet that fellowed oe the election nf President Buchanan was not owing to any indifference as•to the fate of Kau'es. Just the reverse. It wee b7eught about • ley the general coo' t h ou that elee eas e. i dent, ' l 'tiough he !night a time tem- porize, would see 10J it that the- glaring, acknowleclecee, admitted wrongs perpetra-i tehl '2;4 an overwhelming majority of the, people, should be redressed, and that they' ehould be allowed the privileges 'gaarau- teed in the organic act, of framing their institutions in their own way. The geti-: erally received opinion of the President's! character favored. this conviction. His first acts gave it further sanction. His • instructions to the New Governor were implicit. • The Constitillion was to be submitted to the people. Walker assured! the inhabitants of the Territory of this! over and over again. By this means, and this alone,. was he enabled to calm them' down, and induce them to vote for mem-I 'hers of the . Territorial Legislature. 11e bas told us so repeatedly, and assured ne that on his arrival he found the Territory in a state verging nn that of civil .war. I But so soon as,-the people were persuaded that justice would be done, they abandon-, ed all thought of an appeal to arms, and I not Aran then, We may safely appeal to the first six months succeeding Mr. Buchaulh's inau guration for evidence that his adminietra tion was kinkly received by the opposi ;ion, and the presses representing it. Con-, sidering that Mr. Buchanan was elected i mainly - by a section, on sectional grounds, ! ttn.j that 'previously party feeling was at a great height, it is surprising how soon.: angry feeling subsided, and every disposi-,. Von was manifested not to embarras or' annoy the ne•4 administration unuecessa rilp, but simply' to judge it by its acts. Nothing. could better shot the high char, actor of the Oppisition. It proved that in the main it contended for principles, for truth and right, and thet mere parti- I3an aims and ends were far from it. But I we believe that all this mod ration lies; • been misconstrued. Confidence in the! character of the Administration— a be-1 lief that justice would be impartially meted out by it, has been taken for indif ferenee es' to the course that should be' l . pursued in the Territories. The public expectation has been 'disappointed; the pledgee and instructions given are now keen to be violefed. Hence the storm that has renewed its violence in Kansas, and i that is sweeping in farce over the North and West. There is no doubt that the unexpected policy the Administration has adopted to wards Kansas has made the Republican party stronger, firmer, more united than it MS iq 1856 ; and even then it would have elected its candidate but for one or' two untoward, evenfs.. • And' besides :the re newed vitality that has been inspired in to the Republicans, what shall be said of the defection among the Democrats ?

For tivel'utt(:r Journal. The South ItPacifie Ocean. The first Lecture on Missions, which ' was given by Rey. C: M. Blake, at the ' Presbyterian Church . On Monday Eveninf , last - , and which was - mostly introductory !to the course, took a very wide range and proved interesting to us, as we presmue it did to our readers who were present. Mr. Blake began by remarking that we were about to leave hitter County and our own dear native land with all its bless ings, and in imagination-to be absent for six months, while we should traveled to t " - ,-, ether and survey the distant parts of, the Globe. I.le 'said we should not forget that we' were ourseltes the descendants of those wh, - ) 1 were Once heathen. The Britons, and the Celts, and the Germans, Were con- 1 verted to Christianity by the labors of early Missionaries. 11c then spoke of-the vast extent and populousness of the heathen world.. The' Christ:tin nations were but as a. drop in the ocean comp:it-01 with them in point of numbers. • He alluded to the crimes of the heath-1 en, and referred. to the Ist Chap: of Ho-1 'inane as giving the best view of this.. Cicero and Seneca, Socrates and Plato, were daily guilty of the grossest ities, such_ as would forever disgrace the worst luau among us at the- present day. The lecturer next spoke of the revival of the missionary spirit in our times, as one of the results under God, of the lin proved Learning, Arts, Navigation, Print ing, Gunpowder, the Mariner's Compass, &e., in the 15th century: Missions were wet -thy the work of the last 60 years, as far as our race of people were concerned in; them, • 'He then came tti the principal topic .of the evening—the S. Pacific : Ocean. Af ter referring to the early voyages of Ma gellan and the Spaniards, he spoke of the English navigators, Drake,. Hawkins, Wallis, Byron, (grandfather of the poet) Anson, -Cook, Vancouver, Krusenstern,i and others: They all left, diseake the natives of the Pacific Isles. The formation of these Islands was nest! discribcd, There are two classes—the! high (volcanic) and the low (coral) islands. i Both of these have the coral insect at work about them in the varm waters' of', the tropics. He leaves his bony frame behind at death, while a new builder con-I whets his tenement upon the former. And tints the coral reef which encircles all ;these, grows. The islands too are rising or sinking—the effect of the hid deli fires in the bowels of our planet. The efforts of the London Missionary were next referred to by Mr. Blake. But owing to the lateness of the hour he prj-- posed to speak of the natives of those is lands, their idolatry, origin, christianiza, dont, importance to the world, and. to the U. States, Great Britain and France, inorb at length at the second lecture which appointed to be given-nest Monday even.: ing, lath inst., at the saine place. .

Judas rose from the ta- : ble and went and betrayed his Master.—; !Many such cares could'be recorded.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was designed "To thew the Lord's death till he cuilte', " 1 COI', xi., 20. This was its design, and when lIE comes, it will end.' We think that to the person who can see n'rescmhlanee between the two, could easily see that, it was plain they should use.the same things, and by this have wine introduced to help coment the bead of union. Should we•ventum an opinion of our own, c-e would say that Men should eat to lice, not live to cut,— We mould be very sorry if our attachment to those whom we love, was created and! kept up.by what we lave eat and drank with them. But a fourth thought was, that it appears to us exceedingly ungen erous to apply such an - epithet as "Felo. nious Gentlemen" to- any in Coudersport! when, so far as I knew, no than leis been' proven guilty of such a crime. It is often said "That all men are innocent till prov-! !en guilty," .bat here is a forestalling of all trial and condemnation, uttered without the knowledge of the proof -king shown us. As its tendency is to i iidlueuee to a_ prejudgyent. of the omen' stealing laid against awry one in Couders-1 port I feel it to be very unkind.

Lane and the drazoons turns out, Ps we expeeted, to be without foundation. It will he seen from the letters of our cor respondent that Lane has 'returned to Lawrence after ein.eting the liberation Of the Free-State men who were held as prisoners in Port Scott. Our correspondent estimates that at the election of the 21st of December, with aid from Missouri, about three thou !Sand votes were polled, seven-eights of them for the Constitution with Slavery. The votes were principally cast at polling places convenient to Missouri. Though the Lawrence Convention had determined to tke no part in the elec tion of State Officers on the 4th, a bolt ing Convention had getup a ticket, and there was also snid to be still an - other in circulation on which Stanton was candi date for Governor There was little pros pect, however, that anything like a ma jority of the people would take any part in the election. A correspondent of The Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Lawrence, Dec. 2-5, 1857, says : • The action to-night can have no other effect than to embitter or soothe. Each party or division trial follow its own do termination. The re seems to-day to be a strong disposition to yield, upou the part of Many, and vote. I • It was generally understood that the delegates should nominate a ticket, and in most of_the remote counties tickets will be - nominated. What the result will be, I cannot venture to predict. This unhappy split in the Free-State party here will only weaken it, and it may. be beaten. This will be-one effect however —the polio/ of not 'voting because, the laws are infamous, Will not hereafter be advocated by the Fect.Stateparty.
