PRESIDENT MAKING.
The business of Fresidont-making lias, for
some time, been carried on briskly in this
country. As is usual, there is great Internal
commotion in the various parties, caused by
efforts to bring the sevcralcandidatcs into such
position as will have a tendency to secure their
nomination. In the Democratic party, the
contest is principally between Picrco and Bu
chanan though there are many others whoso
patriotism, will not permit them to bold back
should tho country require their services
The strugglo for supremacy between the two
individuals named, is daily growing more an
mated; and not long since the Washington
V Union, Pierco's organ, applied tho lash to the

they did not shout prcans for the President af
ter the Democratic State Convention ha 1 op
proved of, and endorsed bis Administration.
Much bad feeling has thus been engendered,
which will not bo easily removed, and will
servo each one as a pretext for preventing the
euccess of the other in,lhe 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
Pierco and Buchanan, being thns placed at
daggers' points, if they can do nothing else,
will bo ablo to kill each other a result which
Douglas, Ilunter, Kusk and other aspirants
aro evidently anticipating, and aro therefore
holding back, expecting to glide in and carry
oil the prize after these two great political he
roes have effected the ruin of one another.
Gen. Pierce, in his efforts to sccuro a ro
nomination, has bocn laboring assiduously to
gain the aid of tho slavo power; and for this
purposo he has favored every measure that was
in any way calculated to advance Southern in
terests. The Nebraska swindle was a pet of
the Administration; and in almost everything
connected with the Kansas difficulties he has
permitted his actions to bo influenced favora
bly to the Slaveocracy. II is course produced
tho anticipated effect in some Southern States;
in others, however, his abject Bubserviency ex
cited some suspicion, and consequently he did
not meet with the desired success.
Meantime, the friends of "Pennsylvania's
favorite son" had placed themselves in post
tion to "watch the tido of opinion and to fish
at tho flood." Finding which way tlio wind
was blowing, and that Mr. Tierco bad been
dipping his net deep in the Southern waters,
they immediately commenced throwing out
bait for tho Slaveocracy to nibble at, and final
ly Mr. Buchanan himself threw out a magnifi
cent "fly," in tho shape of a letter, in which
he says that, since the Missouri compromise
line is gone, he "verily believes that the best,
nay tho only modo now left of putting down
the fanatical and reckless spirit of abolition at
tho JiTorth is to adhere to tho existing settle
ment without tho slightest thought or appcar-
&nc Of wavering, and without regarding any
etorm which may be raised against it." By
ouch a course, Mr. Buchanan expects to gain
ovor to his interest a portion of tho South;
but as his practices, 33 well as his professions,
have, in days gone by, been of an exceedingly
problematical character, tho Hotspurs may re
gard with suspicion tho artificial bait which is
thus thrown out to catch them.
Thus matters stand at the present, and the
meeting of tho Cincinnati Convention is look
ed forward to with much, interest. Whether
lis deliberations will result in the selection of
either of tho individuals named, or whether,
as in the case of Pierco's nomination, they
will hunt up some obscure personage and pre
sent him as tho candidato of tho great national
Democratic party, remains to be scn. Let
this bo as it may, tho country has tho consola
tion left that, whatever be the result, matters
cannot be made worso than they aro now.
. "DOCTORS WILL DIFFER."
. There seems to bo somo difference of opin
ion between, the editor of the "Clearfield Re

Judge Douglass. , The editor, in his paper of

FILLIBTTSTERISM RECOGNISED.
By advices from Washington we learn that
the President has received Padre Yijilss Min
ister from Nicaragua. This 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 adrainis
tration have always been regarded as being
with the filibusters; though it does seem
somewhat strange, when it is remembered that
a short time since the Presideut refused to re
cognise Parker II. French, a minister from
this same government. After holding back
so long, and under the peculiar circumstances
this movement must be viewed as decidedly
improper. The prospects of Walker establish
ing a permanent government, aro . not very ef
fulgent just now. ,,Tho 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 sumo show of grace. As it
is, in tho event of his overthrow, our govern
ment may find itself seriously compromised
with his conquerors. This act is but another
evidence of the imbecility of the present Xa
tional Administration. But, as intimated be
fore, nobody need bo surprised. Tho spirit of
the age is not only progressive, but it is ac
quisitive. It might bo well enough, there
foro, for those "in authority"' in this country
not to bo too punctilious about Walker, who
has assumed the executive functions of a coun
try for which ho has about the same show of
right that a prowling wolf has for devouring
a farmer's flock. His courso will servo as a
precedent for us ; for who knows what terri
tory we may want hereafter to annex to ours?
The effort has already been made to get Cuba;
and some can discern in the distant future the
period when Mexico and Canada will be parts
and-parcelsofour great republican confederacy.
"No pent-up Utioa contracts our powers ;
Tho whole, boundless continent shall bo ours !"
And how aro we to get it more easily than by
now recognizing the fillibustcr principle, and
hereafter, when the propitious time is at hand,
carrying it into practical effect!
CONGRESSIONAL.
In the Senato the Danish Sound Dues have
been under discussion. Mr. Cass spoke in
favor of tho doctrine of squatter sovereignty.
The House Bill giving 1,500,000 acres of
land in Iowa for railroads was passed by a
vote of 31 to 9. It had passed in the Houso
by a vote of 79 to 50.
In the House, on the Sth, quite a scene oc
currcd. Tho Senate's amendments to the
Deficiency Appropriation bill being nnder
consideration, Mr. Giddings earnestly attack
ed an item for the expenses of tho Judiciary
in Ohio, and was warmly condemning tho ap
propriation of money to discharge arrearages
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 tho
incident, and a recess was spoken of, when it
was moved to change the order of business
and receive reports for an hour. Mr. Gid
dings soon returned to consciousness, and was
conducted to Lis residence. He afterwards,
on the Fame day, returned to tho Hall and con
cluded his remarks against the Senate's a
tnendments to the Deficiency Appropriation
bill.
On tho 10th, Mr. Fuller, of Pa., defined his
position, past and present, on the Slavery
question, avowing broad national principles,
and stigmatising as forgeries certain publica
tions attributing to him cxtrcmo Northern
views.
In the Serate, on the 1 1th, Mr. Clayton cal
led attention to a published letter by Mr.
Craropt on, dated March SI, '56, wherein it is
alleged that Sir Henry Buhver, before signing
the treaty of 1350, informed Mr. Clayton that
Ktiatan was held to be a part of the British
possessions, adding that Mr. Clayton, in con
versation with Mr. Crampton, on various oc
casions, had admitted the same view.
Mr. Clayton branded tho wholo 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 Mr. Clayton or claimed by
Mr. Crampton.
Mr. Clayton expressed his astonishment at
seeing such statement in print, and in tho out
set branded it as wholly false.
Mr. Pratt doubted tho authenticity of tho
letter.
Mr. Cass 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, tinder handedly, in Central
America.
The Position op the Costa Kica.ns.- A cor
respondent of tho New Orleans Picayane, wri

DEMOCRATIC ABOLITIONISM. ;
There is a certain class of tho Locofoco
press who are constantly descrying what they
are pleased to terra "Abolitionism," "Nigger-
ism," &c. To theso we would specially com
mend the following paragraphs from a recent
speech of Hon. H. M. Fuller in Congress, as
they may serve to brighten tip their memories
in relation to a few facts which they seem to
have forgotten. Every reader when he con
trasts tho presont position of the gentlemen
referred to with what it then was, will at onco
bo struck with the truth of tho adage that
"men change, principles never." Mr. Fuller
says: "
- As -that canvass (1813) has been referred to
and made tho subject, of so much epistolary
production, it may bo refreshing to our Dem
ocratic friends briefly to review tho past history
of Pennsylvania politics. Let us inquire who

would have been willing, as remarked early in
the session, to let tho dead past bury its own
dead ; but, as Members have indulged them
selves in 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. 1S10, no less distinguished a
personage than James Buchanan, in Lancaster
county Convention, presented the following
resolutions : . ,
"Resolved, 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 tho National
Legislature, to rnevExi the existence of sla
very in any of the Territories or Stales which
may be erected by Congress.
"Resolved, That in tho opinion of this meet
ing, the members of Congress, who at the last
session sustained tho cause of justice, human
ity and palriotisni.in opposing the introduction
of slavery into the State then endeavored to
bo formed out of the Missouri Territory, aro
entitled fo the warmest thanks of every friend
of humanity."
I am charged here, and by somo of the Bu
chanan organs in my State, with being an ab
olitionist, because of my alleged antecedents.
Surely, in this respect, in view of the resolu
tions just read, I may yield with respectful
deference to 'Pennsylvania's Favorite Son.'
" In 1S19 he declared against tho Missouri
lino. In 1817, iu bis celebrated Berk's coun
ty letter, he declared in favor of tho extension
of that line to the FaciGc, 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, lio de
clares the repeal of that compromise must be
sustained, in defiance of any and of every
storm that may be raised against it.

tury. Has not his "backbone been uondcrfully

man in Scripture, been staggering about these

all fall from his eyes that he may no longer
look through a glass darkly and recommend

of the Cincinnati Convention, I pass to anoth

"In 1817, I find, by reference to the public
journals, that on tho 13th of January rcsolu
tions were introduced in our State Legislature
instructing the Senators from Pennsylvania to
vote in favor of the Wilmot proviso, by a gen
tlcman 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 6-
lccted ono of tho Judges of the Supreme
Court upon the Democratic ticket ; Timothy
Ives, now tho Democratic candidato for Sur

commenced, and thoso terrible enormities
were committed by me, similar resolutions
were offered in the Stato senate, and suppor

twico elected Surveyor General by the De

i . r- IMPORTANT FEOM KANSAS.
ATTEMTT TO ARREST GOVERNOR BEKDER. GOV
ERNOR ROBINSON AND OTHERS TO BE INDICT
KD FOR TREASON.
By' dispatch from Lawrence, via St. Louis,
last evening, wo are advised that the Pro-Sla
very party in Kansas have resolved on the bold
step of breaking ftp the Congressional tnveshga
ion of the villainies by ichich they have usurped
the government of the Territory, finding that the
developments of this investigation are such as
their cause cannot bear. To this end they
have" undertaken to ari-est Gov. Reeder, now
prosecuting the investigation before the House
Committee as contestant for the seat of Gen
Whitfield, and have undertaken to drag him a-
way to Lccomplon (a rro-SUvcry 'nest,) so as
to paralyse and breaK up the exposure ol 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 Stato Legislature as guilty of
High Treason, and Federal troops have proba
bly arrested a part of them ere this. It was
believed at Lawrence that an effort would be
made, under cover of serving these processes,
to seize and destroy tho blasting evidence of
Border Ruffian fraud already taken before tho
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, wonld permit an in
vestigation or 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 tho 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.'
Tho alternative they offer to the Free-State
men is "surrender Kansas quietly to Slave-
" ry, or be subdued and 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 tho enslavement of Kansas. No stir
render! Tribune.
GOVERNOR ROBINSON SEIZED.
The New York Tribune of May 13th, says
Wo learn by telegraph that Governor Robin
son of Kansas has been seized on bis way cast

Much has been said in the newspapers about

brought to Kansas.
Tho examination of witnesses before the
Committee commenced on the 21th of April,
and some reports of the 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 1S54, a se
crct society, known as the "Blue Lodge,"
"Sons of the South," "Social Band," "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 nn
dcrstood, in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkan
sas, if not other States ; and this society was
used as a means to concentrate a party of men
in the Territory at tho election of tho SOth of
March.
It was abundantly proved by several witnes
ses that at tho election held in tho second dis
trict of Douglas County, on the COth of March,
the Judges originally appointed were compel
led to resign by threats of instant death, in
making which Jones, sinco known as "Sheriff"
Jones, was very active ; after which other Jud
ges were appointed, w ho received all the Mis
souri votes that offered.
It was testified that at various Districts large
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 tho inhabitants enu
merated in tho census, whilo 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 ot the witnesses beforo the Committee has
already been shot at and wounded by ruffians,
