PRESIDENT MAKING.
Tho business of President-making has, fur
jonie time, been carried on briskly in tliis
country. As is usual, there is great internal
commotion in the various parties, caused by
efforts to bring the several candidates into such
position as will have a tendency to secure their
nomination. In the Democratic party, the
contest is principally between Pierce and Bu
chanan though there are many others whose
patriotism w ill not permit them to hold "hack
should the country require their services.
The struggle for supremacy between the two
individuals named, is daily growing more ani
mated; and not long since the "Washington
lTn:oi, Pierce's organ, applied the lash to the
Pennsylcanian and Ilarrishurg Patriot, because
they did not shout prcanj for the President af
ter the Democratic State Convention had ap
proved of, and endorsed Lis Administration.
Much bad feeling has thus been engendered,
which will not be easily removed, and will
eervc each one as a pretext for preventing the
success of the other in the Cincinnati Conven
tion, which is rendered comparatively easy by
the two-third's rule, which seems to be the es
tablished law ol Democratic nominating bodies.
Tierce and Buchanan, being thus placed at
daggers' points, if they can do nothing else,
will be able to kill each other a result which
Douglas, Hunter, Rusk and other aspirants
are evidently anticipating, and are therefore
holding back, expecting to glide in and carry
oQ the prize after these two great political he
roes have effected the ruin of one another.
Gen. Pierce, in his efforts to secure a re
nomination, has been laboring assiduously to
gain the aid of the blave power; and for this
purpose he has favored every measure that was
in any way calculated to advance Southern in
terests. The Nebraska swindle was a pet of
tbo Administration ; and in almost everything
connected with the Kansas difficulties he lias
permitted his actions to be influenced favora
bly to the Slaveocracy. His course produced
the anticipated effect in sonic Southern States;
in others, however, his abject subserviency ex
cited some suspicion, and consequently he did
not meet with tho desired success.
Meantime, the friendj of "Pennsylvania's
favorite son" had placed themselves in posi
tion to "watch the tide of opinion an 1 to lish
at the flood." Finding which way the wind
was blowing, and that Mr. Picrco had been
dipping his net deep in the Southern waters,
they immediately coumicnccd throwing out
bait for the Slaveocracy to nibble at, and iiual
ly Mr. Buchanan himself threw out a magnifi
cent "fly," in the shape of a letter, in v.Lich
be says that, since the Missouri coinpronii.se
line is gone, he "verily believes that the best,
nay tho only mode now left of putting down
the fanatical and reckless spirit of abolition at
the North i3 to adhere to the existing settle
ment without the slightest thought or appear
ance of wavering, and without regarding any
storm which may be raised against it." By
such a course, Mr. Buchanan expects to gain
over to his interest a portion of the South;
but as his practices, as well as Ids professions,
have, in days gone by, been of an exceedingly
problematical character, the Hotspurs may re
gard with suspicion tbo'fartificial bait which is
thus thrown out to catch them.
Thus matters stand at the present, and the
meeting of the Cincinnati Couvcntion is look
ed forward to with much interest. Whether
its deliberations will result in the selection of
cither of the individuals named, or whether,
as jn tho case of Pierce's nomination, they
willhuet up some obscure personage and pre
sent him aa tho candidato of the great national
Domocralic party, remains to be seen. Let
this be a3 it may, tho country has the consola
tion left that, whatever be the result, matters
cannot be made worse than they aro now.
"DOCTORS WILL DIFFER."
There seems to bo some difference of opin
ion between the editor of the "Clearfield Re
publican" and Gen. Cass about the Report of
Judge Douglass. The editor, in his paper of
ihe 10th inst., says the Report "is truthful
from beginning to end, and therefore unanswera
ble." On the 12th inst., Gen. Cass made a speech
in the.U. S. Senate in which he gave his o
pinion, which is reported thus:
"Mr. Cass proceeded to criticise Mr. Doug
lass' Report on Kansas matters, dissenting from
many of its conclusions. It did not allude at
all to tho object for which governments were
instituted, and contained many ideas which
crc erroneous" in theory and danrcrou3 in.
practice."
Which is right Or are they both wrong ?
riLLIETJSTESISM EECOGNISED.
By advices from Washington we learn that
the President has received Padre Vijil as Min
ister from Nicaragua. Tin is equivalent to a
recognition of the "Walker rule, which claims
to be the- actual and rightful government there.
This is nothing more than could have been
expected, for the .sympathies of the adminis
tration ' have always been regarded as being
with the fillibusters ; though it does seem
somewhat strange, when it is remembered that
a -short tirno :.ir:ce the President refused to re
cognise Parker H. French, a minister from
this same government. Alter holding back
5u long, and under the peculiar circumstances,
this "movement must be viewed as decidedly
improper. The prospects of Walker establish
ing a permanent government, are not very ef
fulgent just now. The President should,
therefore, have waited until matters were fully
settled in Nicaragua. If Walker should come
out victorious, his government could then be
recognized with some show of grace. As it
is, in the event of his overthrow, our govern
ment may find itself seriously compromised
w ith his conquerors. This act is but another
evidence of the imbecility of the present Na
tional Administration. But, as intimated be
fore, nobody need be surprised. The spirit of
the age is not only progressive, but it is ac
quisitive. It might be well enough, there
fore, for those "iu authority" in this country
not to be too punctilious ab'out Walker, who
has assumed the executive functions of a couu
try for which he has about the same show of
light that a prowling wolf has for devouring
a farmer's flock. His course will servo as a
precedent for us ; for who knows what terri
tory we may want hereafter to annex to ours?
The elloit has already been made to get Cuba;
asid some can discern in the distant future the
period when Mexico and Canada will be parts
and4parce'ls of our great republican confederacy.
'No pent-up I' tica contracts our powers ;
The whole,, boundless continent shall be ours !"
And how are we to get it more easily than by
now recognizing the filli buster principle, and
hereafter, when the propitious lime is at hand,
carrying it into practical effect!
CONGRESSIONAL.
In the Senate the Danish Sound Dues have
been under discussion. Mr. Cass spoke in
favor of the doctrine of squatter sovjreignty.
The House Bill giving 1 ,"-00,000 acres of
land in Iowa lor railroads was passed by a
vote of SI to 9. It had passed in the House
by a vote of 79 to 59.
In the House, on thefUh, quite a scene oc
curred. The Senate's amendments to the
Deficiency Approptiation bill being under
consideration, Mr. Giddings earnestly attack
ed an item for the expenses of the Judiciary
in Ohio, and was warmly condemning the ap
propriation of money to discharge arrearage
contracted for returning fugitive slaves to
Kentucky, when he suddenly fainted and fell
to tho floor. Several members immediately
conveyed him to a sofa near an open window.
A profound sensation was occasioned by the
incident, and a recess was spoken of, when it
was moved to change the order of business
and receive reports for an hour. Mr. G id
dings soon returned to consciousness, and was
conducted to Li3 residence. He afterwards,
on the fame day, returned to the Hall and con
cluded his remarks against the Senate's a
mendiaents to the Deficiency Appropriation
bill.
On the 10th, Mr. Fuller, of Pa., defined his
position, past and present, on the Slavery
question, avow ing broad national principles,
and stigmatising as forgeries certain publica
tions attributiug to l.iui extreme Northern
views.
In the Serrate, on the llt!i,Mr. Clayton cal
led attention to a published letter by Mr.
Crampt on, dated March 31, '50, wherein it is
alleged that Sir Henry Bulwer, before signing
the treaty of 18-30, informed Mr. Clayton that
Ruataa was held to be a part of the British
possession.-i, adding that Mr. Clayton, in con
versation with Mr. f'rampton, on various oc
casions, had admitted the same view.
Mr. Clayton branded the whole statement
as utterly untrue in every part, and proceeded
to show from Mr. Crampton's letters, and from
conversations as late as March last, proving
tho same by Mr. Crittenden, that no such idea
was entertained by 3Ir. Clayton or claimed by
Mr. Crampton.
Mr. Clayton expressed his astonishment at
seeing sucfi "statement in print, and in the out
set branded it as wholly false.
Mr. Pratt doubted tho authenticity of the
letter.
Mr. Casa and others participated in the de
bate, characterising his pretensions as anoth
er of-those shameless shifts to which Great
Britain had been driven in her efforts to ob
tain a foot hold, under handedly, in Central
America.
The Position of the Costa I'icans.- A cor
respondent of the New Orleans Picayane, wri
ting from Costillo, gives the particulars of the
battle of Rivas, and states that Gen. "Walker
was induced to leave the place, and fall back
on Granada, in consequence of being nearly
out of ammunition- Tho Costa Ricans im
mediately re-occupied Rivas which they com
menced fortifying anew. They arc said to be
well armed and officered, the latter being prin
cipally English and Germans. Their arms, or
such as have been taken, appear to be of Eng
lish manufacture, and the prisoners state that
nearly all their arms and ammunition have
been furnished by English agents, through
whom they aro constantly supplied. They
have possession of Virgin Bay and San Juan
del Sur.
A thousand dollar note, of the Philadel

DEMOCRATIC AS0LITIONIS3I.
There is a certain class cf the Locofoco
press who arc constantly descrying what they'
are pleased to term "Abolitionism," "Nigger
ism," &c. To these we word 1 specially com
mend the following paragraphs from a recent
speech of Hon. II. M. Fuller in Congress, as
they may serve to brighten up their memories
in relation to a few facts which they seem to
have forgotten. Every reader when ho con
trasts the present position of the gentlemen
referred to with what it then was, will at once
be struck with the truth of the adage that
"men change, principles never." Mr. Fuller
says:
As that canvass (1819) has been referred to
and made the subject of so much epistolary
production, it may be refreshing to our Dem
ocratic friends briefly to review the past history
of Pennsylvania politics. Let us inquire who
are without sin, aud therefore permitted to
cast the first stone. As gentleman interested
in my antecedents have only gone back to 1819
I will refer them to an earlier period. I
would have been willing, as remarked early in
the session, to let the dead past bury its own
dead ; but, as Members hava indulged them
selves iu antiquarian researches, I will read
a few tomb stone inscriptions also. Passing a
long the political graveyard of buried opinions
I find it recorded that on the 23d day of No
vember, A. D. 1819, no less distinguished a
personage than James Buchanan, in Lancaster
county Convention, presented tho following
resolutions:
"Jlcsolicd, That the Representatives in Con
gress from this district be, and they are here
by most earnestly requested, to use their ut
most endeavors as member of the National
Legislature, to rmsvEXi the existence of sia
VER.X in tiny of the Territories or Stales which
may be erected by Congress.
"Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet
ing, the members of Congress, w ho at the last
session sustained the cause of justice, human
ity and patriotism, in opposing the introduction
of slavery into the State then endeavored to
be formed out of the Missouri Territory, are
entitled to the warmest thanks of every friend
of humanity."
I am charged here, and by some of the Bu
chanan organs in my State, with being an ab
olitionist, because of 1113- alleged antecedents.
Surely, in this respect, in view of thu resolu
tions just read, I may yield with respectful
deference to 'Pennsylvania's Favorite Son.'
" In 1319 he declared against the Missouri
line. In 1817, iu his celebrated Berk's coun
ty letter, lie declared in favor of the extension
of that line to the Pacific, and his solemn be
lief that the stability of the Union itself de
pended upon tho passage of such a measure.
In his last bulletin, recently issued, he de
clares the repeal of that compromise must be
sustained, in defiance of any and of every
storm that may be raised against it.
'The political as well as the physical world
has undergone many extraordinary changes:
Here aro three revolutions in a short half cen
tury. Has not his "backbone been icondcrfHlly
stiffened?" Has not he, too, like the blind
man in Scrixture, been staggering about these
many years, waiting for that miiaculous vision
when he should no longer sec men as trees
walking ? Hoping that the scales of error may
all fall from his eyes that he may uo longer
look through a glass darkly and recommend
ing him kindly to tho generous consideration
of the Cincinnati Convention, I pass to anoth
er chapter of PeunsylvaniaDemocratic history.
"In lbi7, I find, by reference to the public
journals, that on tho 10th of January resolu
tions were introduced in our State Legislature
instructing tho Senators from Pennsylvania to
vote in favor of the Wilmot proviso, by a gen
tleman who is now a delegate to the Cincinnati
Convention. Among the names of gentlemen
who supported tho resolution, I find that of
Senator Bigler ; of Thomas II. Forsyth, now
President of tho Democratic Board of Canal
Commissioners; John C. Knox, since then e
lected one of tho Judges or the Supreme
Court upon the Democratic ticket ; Timothy
Ives, now the Democratic -candidate for Sur
veyor General. In 1819 when my sinning
commenced, and those terrible enormities
were committed by mc, similar resolutions
worn offered in the State senate, and suppor
ted by J. Porter Brawley, who has been since
twice elected Surveyor General by the De
mocracy, and by Col. Maxwell McCaslin, now
holding an appointment under the present Ad
ministration, as well as certain other gentle
men, who, doubtless, would now prefer their
names should not be mentioned iu this connection."
American State Coincil. The Pennsylva
nia American State Council met at Ilarrishurg
on the ICth. Resolutions endorsing the Phil
adelphia nominations, aud denouncing the ad
ministration for repealing the Missouri com
promise, were adopted by a vote of 33 to 22.
Gov. Johnston had offered a substitute appro
ving of the action of the delegates who retired
from the Philadelphia convention. The sub
stitute was rejected, whereupon Gov. Johnston
and fourteen others withdrew. The ticket
placed in nomination by the Union State Con
vention, was ratified. The meetings of the
council are to be held in future with open
doors. In the evening, a public meeting was
held by the retiring delegates ; and an address
has been issued, protesting against the action
of the majority.
Tho Rochester Democrat says that Judge
Moses Spcrry, of Chili, Monroe county, N. Y.
recognizes in tho account of tho discovery of
a white girl among the Mohave Indians, a
daughter of his sister, who removed with her
husband, Lorenzo Oatman, to Iowa, and were
murdered on their wav across the nlnin
California, as stated in the
cue. The whole family were supposed to yave
been murdered, as nothing had been heard of
tho missing children, until this news of the
rescno of the little crirl. Undoubted!,- tln
children, who have experienced such sharp
vicissitudes and been so wondcrtully saved
from death, will find friends to take care of
them until thev can be returned to the nroteo.-

IKPOPvTANT FEOK KANSAS.
ATTEMPT TO ARREST OOVERNOR T. KTDEri . GOV
ERNOR ROBINSON AND OTHERS TO HE ISPICT
ED I OR TREASON.
By dispatch from .Lawrence, via St. Louis,
last evening, we are advised that the Pro-Slavery
party in Kansas have resolved on th bold
step of breaking v.j the Uuiizressivnal investiga
tion cf the viHi-inies by which tkey hace umrped
the Jucer.irnent of U;e Territory, rinding that the
developments Of this investigation are such as
their cause cannot bear. To this end they
have undertaken to nrrest Gov. Reeder, now
prosecuting the investigation before tho House
Committee as contestant for the scat of Gen.
Whitfield, and have undertaken to drag him a
way to Lecompton (a Pro-Slavery m-st,) so as
to paralyze and break up the exposure of the
gigantic fraud and violence by which they car
ried their bogus Legislature last year.
At the same time, Pierce's Judge Lecompte
(from Alabama) has charged his Pro-Slavery
Grand Jury to indict all the State Officers and
Members of the State Legislature as guilty of
High Treason, and Federal troops have proba
bly arrested a part of them ere this. It was
believed at Lawrcucc that an effort would be
made, under cover of serving these processes,
to seize and destroy the blasting evidence of
Border Ruffian fraud already taken before the
Commission. An earlier dispatch had already
apprised us of the arrest of Governor Robin
son on a steamboat coming East, at Lexington,
Missouri.
We have cherished a sanguine hope that the
Slavery Extcnsionists, having the Executive,
the Judiciary, the Senate, and at least half of
the House on their side, would permit an in
vestigation of their last year's doings by vir
tue of which they pretended to enact laws for
Kansas and send Whitfield to Congress and
then let the people decide between the two
parties. Having the full power of the Gov
ernment at their back and the potent name and
organization of the Democratic party where
with to stupify and bewilder the voters of the
Free States, we thought they would suppose
they could afford to bear the exposure which
an official investigation must involve. It seems
they think differently, and are resolved to sti
fle the investigation by violence and force.
The alternative they offer to the Free-State
men is "surrender Kansas quietly to Slave
" ry, or be subdued aud punished as traitors !"
Be it so, then ! Let us avoid collision to the
last possible moment and submit, for peace
sake, to indignities, to imprisonment, to be
insulted, belied and harrassed as traitors but
not to the enslavement of Kansas. No sur
render! Tribune.
GOVERNOR R0EINS02T SEIZED.
The New York Tribune of May 13th, says-:
We learn by telegraph that Governor Robin
son of Kansas has been seized on his way east
by a Border-Ruffian mob at Lexington, Mis
souri. "We trust he may escape with his life.
The telegraph also reports a movement inCon
gress to inquire as to the recent employment
of United States troops to enforce the acts of
the Bogus Legislature.
Much has been said in the newspapers about
Major Bu ford's famous regiment of immigrants
from Georgia. From the account given of
them 1:1 a letter which we publish to-day, they
are not likely to add much moral strength to
the cause to champion which they have been
brought to Kansas.
The examination of witnesses before the
Committee commenced on the 21th of April,
and some reports of tho proceedings have at
length come to hand. The first witness exam
ined, one Jordan Davison, confessed, on cross
examination, that there exists in Missouri, and
has existed since the latter part of lSol, a se
cret society, known as the "Blue Lodge,"
"Sons of the South," "Social Eand," "Friends'
Society," and by various other names, the ob
ject of which is to extend Slavery into Kan
sas. It had branches, as the witness had un
derstood, in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkan
sas, if not other States; aud this society was
used as a means to concentrate a party of men
in the Territory at tho election of the 30th of
March.
It was abundantly proved by several witnes
ses that at the election held in the second dis
trict of Douglas County, on the SOth of March,
the Judges originally appointed were compel
led to resign by threats of instant death, in
making which Jones, since known as "Sheriff
Jones, was very active ; after which other Jud
ges were appointed, who received all the Mis
souri votes that offered.
It was testified that at various Districts largo
bodies of men were in and encamped just be
fore the election, and disappeared immediate
ly after, and that the names on the poll lists
far exceeded in number the inhabitants enu
merated in the census, while but few of the
names on the census lists could be found on
the poll lists. It will be seen by letters from
Lawrence, published in another column, that
one of the witnesses before the Committee has
already been shot at and wounded by ruffians,
who enticed him out of his house for the pur
pose. LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The Peace Congress. The official procee
dings of the Peace Congress, just published
prove that the most interesting feature hap
pened after the treaty was signed, in an inter
change of sentiment upon various subjects of
European interest.
This interchange of opinions was invited by
Count Welewski, who, among other things rc-
fercd to the disturbed state of Italy, recom
mending that suggestions for a milder rule be
conveyed to the Italian government, in which
suggestions tho plenipotentiaries heartily a
greed. Count Cavour, on behalf of Sardinia, de
manded that a secular government W estab
lished in the Roman Legations, and that the
Austrian troops be withdrawn.
Sharp words ensued between the Austrian
and Sardinia Representatives, but it ended in
nothing.
The confederation then proceeded to the
discussion of tho new declaration of mari
