Manufacturing Public Opinion.

Vuint of tlio press nnd otherwise, hy menus i eoiimiend.ilion.'j was the oelio of the voic1
;.ioro iiiHonious than honoralile, to wnrp
and mislead jtho public judgment, were
ofton to provo successful, it might have to
l.o deplored that tlio passions and prejudi
ces of tho people were more easily infla
med by gross lnisKtatosmeiits and incendi
ary appeals, than their reason and judg
ment woro influenced by self evident fact
r.nd logical argument. But it is fortunate
for the people of this country thnt those
daring and unprincipled nt tempts occa
iionnlly made in our midst to manufttcturr
public opinion, nre uniformly mot by the
'sobor second thought" which invariably
restores public sentiment, if perchance it
become unsettled, to its equilibrium, with
in a reasonable time, nnd before its nber
ations cnuse nny permanent mi chief.
The public mind at the present time
may be considered as undergoing such n
reaction on the question of admitting Kan
sas under the Lccompton constitution. At
.he time the question wns first mised in
i 'ongress in tho debate on tho annual rnes-
age of the President, tho people were un
prepared to meet it, in tho phase it then
..ssumod. They wore well informed, it is
;rue, upon the doctrine of allowing the
;eople of the Territories to form nnd rog.
ulatp their domestic institutions in their
own way, subject only to the constitution
of the Uniltd Statos." That principle
hail been widely nnd comprehensively
discussed within the few preceding years.
The lot presidential campaign had been
in a great measure fought upon it, and its
advocates had gained a glorious nnd tri
umpbnnt victory. Hence no doubt seem
ed remaining in the minds of democrats,
if any had ever existed, of its entire cor
rectness, and its complete accordance w ith
the letter and spirit of the Federal Consti
tution, and the intention of its frnmers.
But it lind never occurred to them that a
jdestion might arise among the people of
Kansas themselves as to the mode and
time of framing a constitution, or that
ihould such a question arise, that
itcould'aisume nny other than a purely
local sharactor. Consequently when that
very quostion arose thus unexpectedly,
and became the leading one in the Nation
al Legislature and assumed its recent for
midable shape, it is not to be w ndered at,
that numbers of the most ardent ndvo
cates of democratic principles were at its
first presentation amid, its accumulated
;omplication, led to formj. rroneous opin
ions upon it. Such indeed has been the
history of all, or ncnMy nil, of the great
measures of the democratic party, when
first proposed; measures which have, ma
ny of them, long since become the settled
policy of tho government no matter by
what party administered ; nnd we need go
no'urthcr back .than the recent passage of
the Kansas Nebraska act for nn instance,
It is well remembered by us nil how many
dissenting voices there wore throughout
the country to tho expediency of that
measure, when first introduced into Con
gross; nnd yet in a little more than two
years thereafter, a 1'rcMdont was triumph
antly elected almo t upon thnt issue alone
The people, or a majority of them, had in
tho mean while, upon sober reflection, be-
- come convinced of the entire expediency
and constitutionality of tho measure.
That such will be the case with the pro-
sent Lccompton question, although it is
oncof mere expediency, is as certain as that
it has been the case w ith some doren oth
ers of vastly more importnnoe to the coun
try.
In fact the importance of the Locomp'
ton quostion is mainly due to tho efforts
of Senator Iouglns and the Philadelphia
"Press," to mnnufneture a current of,
public opinion to favor their course nnd
disparage the National Administration.
Tho position that lioth occupied before
the country, ono as a loader in tho demo
cratic ranks nnd an influential member of
the highest legislative body of the nation,
and the other nn a leading democratio
Journnl conducted by a gentleman of ack
nowledged editorial enpacity ; and w ho
hod boon long and intimately connected
with the democratic party of Pennsylva
nia, and the whale country, waserninent
ly favorable to their dosigns. The speech
es of Senator Doujlaa had been for some
A,. ..,, nm .1 , ,. .1
years read ns the oracular teachings of
pure democracy, and whatever doctrines
he chow to advance therein, there were
none to gainsay them.

while the game wont on, tho "Press" as
suring its readers from day to day that tho
demoorac y of Pennsylvania especially
was overwhelming anti-Lecompton ; that
tho Koystono State repudiated the only
president she hnd ever given to the No
tion. Lut while these scenes wore trans
piring the people were awaking to the
conviction that there was another side to
the question ; that the constitutional de
mocracy were w ith the President sustain
ing and upholding his honest nnd patriot
ic endeavors to put a final quietus to tho
tiresome and fruitless Kansas agitation,
with which the country had long since
been disgusted.
They learned too that (he Lrcompton Con
stitution tciM the hgeUi) erprrcd will nf tf,f
mc-ah'xding citizaut of the Territory; and that
if a turbulent nnd factious majority of the
inhabitants had refused to participate in
the proceedings to frame an instrument
under which to organize a State govern,
ment, thnt it was hcoivte they xrere merely
doing the bidding nf their masters outside nf the
Territory, whose sole object wns to prolong
the troubles in Kansas that they might
profit thereby.
In the meanwhile the time nrrived for ns-
sembling the fourth of March convention
in this State, nt which it w as hoped, nay
confidently predicted by the enemies of
tho administration, the heavy doses of an
ti-Lecompton democracy administered to
the people by the "Press' would result in
a tremendous outburst of indignation
against President Buchanan, nnd those
who npprovod his Kansas policy, by thnt
body.
Hut alas ! for the vanity of human
hopes, but one single vote out of one hun
dred and thirty throe delegates to tlio con
vention, and nil in their seats, sfands ro-
coided against tho resolution sustaining
the President, nnd endorsing x'u Kansas
policy.
"The sober second thought" had been
doing its work. The people had already
begun to comprehend the true ground of
the opposition to Lccompton. Since thnt
time tho opposition to the admision of
Kansas has assumed a phase that is calcu-
lated to enliirhtcn them still more. The
union of all the decayed n.liticalori?niiia-
tions north nnd south which have hither

This
overlooked even by the nnti-Lecompton
