Peace restored In Kansas.
iof
)er i Ii is a conceded fact, says the N. l',.News,
d that all the difficulties, animosities and ye )-
.h• geance which has l revailed in Kansas, ever
all j s'nc'e the organization of that Territory, has
he
heed stitnultited and kept at fever heat by the
in
1 4,i Blank 4-11.epublic..an" leaders of New York
nand Massacbur:etts, supported. by their ad
jancta mostly in the New England States.
I to/. 1 --Thet-e never would have existed the least dif
ber
t flout:3- in the preparation .of that Territory ,
for adinission,at the proper time, as a State,
had the actual • residents been left at their
own option. They would hare in due time
settled upon their "organic law, such as they,
as freemen, desired to lire under, and been
admitted rimong . 'the sisterbriod of States,'
upon terms as equitable, just and demo
cratic as every other State has uniformly
been.
, The ,excitement er.eated outside of that
Ter'ritory was carried to the filesides of the
people within, many of whom honestly believ
ed that President Buchanan was endeavoring
to interfere with their domestic institutions,
and to force slavery upon them, nolf volezzs.
A civil war thus created, many valuable lives
were sacrificed and the Adminiitration was
compelled to send a nsilitary Cornet° proteet
the persons and property of the inoffensive
people against the incursions of tile organiz
etf.bandits, led on to commit the most out
rageous acts of plunder and slaughter ever
witnessed in any civilized community. Tire
only 'interference 'President Buchanan was
ever guilty of was in sending a force to pro
tect the people from the desPeradoesin their
very midst.
So long as the people of Kansas could be
kept in a state Of alarm; excitement and un
certainty, so long the. Black "Republican"
party flourished. In -1855 the fury was at
great height. The iuffians,both from Massa
chusettz and Missouri, were sufficiently hal- I
ligcrent to keep the flame burning and the
country illuminated. The mussang fever
"run like the cholera" oVer all' the Northern
States. So with regarey• to the elections the
present year. The a4versaries of the D'eni
ocratic party united iu dinuneiations against
siLecompton" and the "infamous English
bill." No invective too coarse,- no epithet
so mean and disreputable, ' bat were em
ployed to incense the people against Presi

Now , ire arrive at; h'e point at 'which we
aimed in the ceMinencement ef this- article:
A,Mr..Philip C. Saliuyler;". a `gepublican"
politician, who has been in Kansas four years,
and passed through the disgraceful scenes ,
which 'his party enacted there, - and for aught
we know,was a participator in many of them,
write to the New York Tribune that himself
as well as. the people have become e ntirely
disgusted with things as they have been eon:
duCted. He says, "front the moment the
English hill .made clear our policy
land our DPW; KANSAS HAD PEACE,• for
bur course was as distinctly settled in our
minds on the day of its,passage, ;mit was on
, the night. of the day of election." How does
this accord with the diatribes of Tha Tribune
and Albany JOurnal, so constantly hurled at
the President on account of his agreement
with the principles of the law, which - made
clear the "policy and duty" of the people of
Kansas e..
The letter.of Mr. Schuyler is •dated the
213th of OctOber, acid in due course of Mail,
Must iindobbtedly have been received at The
Tribune ofAce one or tiro claysPrevious.to
our State election: Had itftiseen the light
twenty-foci hours previous to the election
the "anti Lecompton" hunthug *cmld haire
been instantly killed, and the Democratic
candidates on the State ticket would have
been,elected by thirty thousand majority.
',But it was policy to suppress the fetter until
two weeks alter the election. Our jeaders
be gratified with a perusal of its contents.
Mr.' Schuler deserves the thanks of the
whole country for enlightening the public-as
to the actual state of affairs. It is well thst
it appears orizinally in a Black 'Republican'
paper; had any other paper published it in
I,the tivat instance, the Opposition prints would
have unanimously pronounced it a. forgery,
or at least t muffle:lion. Here is a copy :

The executive department of this, Territory
is restored to respectability and credit, the
people begin look up to it with hcnor and
pride, showing that all are willing to respect
the Government where - the Guverninent,will
respect itself.
` Our civil power is beginning 'to find and
feel its proper influence and place; laws are
beginning to exercise their authority and
show their value. It is•prciee that even iu
Kansas a civil code may be enacted and en
forced, that we can have local organizatiumi,
with officers of the laws, and that there is
.orne safety to life and property, other than
by the knife and the revolver.
In most of the counties we have a- civil
organization, with e full corps of otEcers,from
Probsie Judge,With very full jreliaial powers, l
Sheriff, i!c.. doWn to Postmaster. We are
fast changing from the barbarous practices of
the red Man of the prairie, to the civilized_ ,
customs to which we were bred; we have
tried physical force, and the common, neigh
borhood municipal regulations, settliug
cubies by Courts instituted without - the aid
or Legislature or stiittifesi.- - - - appeatreg to stat

This voluntary government being twice
aided by our early education has been found
wanting. \Ve embraced with increased
pleasure the establishment of the common
law of the land. Tell us not of voluntary
compacts and no Government system in this
mnndane rife, we have seen enough of it.
Settles.iti Kansas have only lately begpn
to feel 'Jett this is their home, for it to only
' within a short period that civil, social and re
ligions structures begin to develop themselves.

cause we hive put to:rest, for a time, this
abhorent political fight. You may think the
remark a strange one, but it is true. From
the moment the passage of the English bill
made clear our policy and our duty, Kansas
bas had peace, for our course was as distinct
ly settled in out minds on the day of its pas
sage Ili it was on the night of the day of
e'e Coe. Hottie application is beginning
to show itself in every direction. Content
ment and happiness are making their impress
on, every countenance , and' 'our', industrial
economy .will - show greater developments of
the - soil, and improvements- in homes than
hare been shown for the whole period of
Kansas settlement.
Now a word to the feture.
Our friends in the'East are urging that
we now take prompt action -for the fnture ;
fcrm a Constitution and demand immediate
admission into the Union. We thank them
for their interest and their advice, but- we.
think the policy a bad one for the .present.
Had we not better leave the question •of as;
Burning the responsibilities of a - State until
the people are ready for it I I know what I
say when I tell you that the people are not
ready fur this step. - Why 1 First, they ace
not prepared to.suistain the butdenx of the.
government. Second, •they are tired of poli

desire rest and opportunity to improve
their homes, cultivate their farms, and get in
a state of indepe.ndency.Pur hope and prayer
are now that grace will he given to the Pre
sident, tesendtikas good , ttGovernor as the
last, and .one - that frill: follow hie policy,
and that our friends will, 'allow' us to act - for
ourselves, pledging to them that Kansas shall
be; when admitted a Stafe, nee tbat'shall not
dishonor the free' sisterhood. -
We-hope still fUlther, than thainen• will

POPULAR - SOVEREINOTY TWENTY YEAPS
tne se..toli of Coogreas of

resolution in the Senate :
1 Retolved, That any attempt of Congress to
i abolish blavery in a Territory of the United

Lalatin and just apprehension in the States sus
staining.that domestic iustitution—would be
I a xiolatton of good faith toward the iambi.
1 tants of any such Territory, who have been
permitted to enter with, and hold slaves there
i ein; at - I'd because when any such Territory
shall be admitted into the Union as a State,.
the People thereof shall be entitled to decide
that guest ion exclasiv ely for themselves.
That National Ugion Platform was Sup
ported by Mr. Clay, Benton, glas Wright,
Calhoun, and other distinguished statesmen
of drat day; and sustained by an unanimous
vote. Still the Brack 'Republicans' are now

There is some consolation in the fact Oaf
the Abolition war cry is ended in Kansas. '
The hot intelligence advises us that thepeo
ple in .that Territory are unanimous in the
determination to attend more , strictly to their
own local and domestic off:Sirs. They are
engaged in cultivating the lands, erecting,
buildings, providing churches and school
houses, and devoting themselves to all those
useful and indispensable duties-required by
settlers and emigrants in is new country.
The people, too, aretontent with the .princi
ples of the so much abused " English bill,"
and appear content to abide their proper
time for - asking admission asn State. A few
malcontents, however,lnciied, no doubt, by
the' Greeleys,Tliayels, Burlingames, out East,
recently undertook to get up a Constitutional
*Convention; but the masses of the ..people
rejected it, and would not participate; and
accounts inform us that only fourteen. persons
in the whole Territory were all that could be
insinced to attend that '...Free &ate Mass
Colive'ntion." This shows that the people
are heartily disgusted with constitution mak
ing, and will 'not undertake it until it can
be done in a quiet and amicable manner.
The sliiery excitement having happily sub-•
sided, and no more border ruffianism antici
pated, the people are likely :to form them
.,..elves into politiial patties similar CO throe
existing in other sectionivol the country. The.
so-called "Free State party" can no longer
because it will have no adversary in
the Territory. They adopt the olinforrns and
principles advocated in the States', and the
people will take poT4tiona on either :Aide, as
