LAKE. The Fate of Kansas. Our friends in the Korth need not distress themselves about the fate of Kansas. Kama is frer. If the Leeompton Constitution passes, and Calhoun gives the Usurpers their scats, without coming iu conflict with Federal authority, and without a single pitched battle, every slave and every officeholder, Federal and State, and every man who favors the Iniquity, will either be killed or expelled from the country.

We know whereof we affirm. Don't distress yourselves, good friends. Still, it is chrciing to read an article like this from the Lansing Republican, the central organ of our Party in the noble State of Michigan MrsT we Fight. The last Livingston that belief 1 am altogether skeptical. Monsieur Louis' corpse would hardly bee.i cold before tho Republicans would be up in arms and a government of the people proclaimed.

THE LEYIATHAX. The launch of the monster steam ship Leviathan is now almost completed, and on Saturday next she will be afloat. The late unfortunate atte'npt to get her into her ''native element," as penny-a-lineis denominate the river has given rise to many a witticism at the expense of Mr. Brunei the engineer. To give only one, I may mention that at dir.ner the other clay B.

was asked by a wit, in the. words of Job, "Canst thou draw out Leviathan with a hook What reply was vouchsafed to this interrogation, "the deponent 6ayeth not." YAXKEE JOCItSAI. IX KFRorE. It is rumored that an American journal, or rather a journal to advocate the interests of the United States, is about to be started in London. What truth there may be in the report I am not at present in a position to be able to say but it seems not at all unlikely.

that the intercourse between the two countries is daily becoming more and more extensive, it cetainly is high time that a journal of the kind I have alluded to was established Most of the liberal papers in this country invariably mete out full admiration for your great, republic, and perceive the mutual advantages of both countries remaining upon amicable terms wi.h each other but something more than this i3 wanted. In, England the grossest ignorance prevails with regard to the United States. Your habits, your customs, your political institutions, your peculiarities, your failings, your national characteristics, your good and bad qualities all these have afforded theories upon which English travelers have very lengthily expatiated but it must be borne in mind that many cf these book-makers have very frequently committed the most egregrious blunders some have believed Jke absurd statements which waggish individuals Lave palmed upon them, and have gravely published them in their travels," while others Nwho3e mental isieihasHbeen obscured by prejudice or blinded by Ffclid bigotry, have not he.iit.ated fo utter the most unfounded calumnies about, American institutions. That a 'man obtain a thorough knowledge of any people by living among them a few months, by residing in hotels and traveling a few hundred miles in railway carriages or steamboats, I cm-poetically deny. Yet what, more than this do r.iiie'y-niiie cut.

of every hundred per the certificates to theiraudulently-elected candidates, a sterner, perhaps, too a very complicated issue will be presented to us We will meet it when it comes. It will be the duty of the people of Doniphan County, we think, to expel, imprison or otherwise get rid of Messrs. Whitehead, Tennant and Heed, and to'preventMessrs. R. S.

Kelley, and John R. Boyd from returning to the State. Let it be tinctly understood that these men shall irever be permitted to legislate for us. The boys here have made up their on that subject, and authorize us give these gentlemen Iu our opinion, Freedom has' now far less to fear from pro-slavery, men than from the Hunkers. Kansas, (Mr.

Buchanan to the contrary, notwithstanding,) is as much a Free State to-day as Massachusetts. We wish her to take the place which Massachusetts hitherto has occupied that of leader of the anti-slavery movement. These Subterraneans, on the contrary, desire her to stand shoulder to shoulder, with Pennsylvania, Indiana and Egypt. This is the real contest in the Free State ranks. from Kansas occupies a full share of the attention of Congress.

We will not give a history of the strife there, as most of our readers are familiar with it, or all find it in Eastern papers to which they subscribe. Harris' Committee has been made innoxious to the Administration by having" been packed, contrary to all pailiamentary usage, by. Mr. Speaker Orr, the Democratic owner of one thousand slaves. No persons or papers arc to be seS't for and the Constitution to bo forceiithroiigh at any early date if Executive influence and bribery can do it.

HAMPSOX. It is deemed important that a large rote should be east at this election. Turn out Every man is pledged to remove the seat of Government from Mineola. Turn out 1 TEEEITOEIAL AFFAIRS. POLITICS." Last week our paper had not a single extract, -while the present number is chief ly selected nevs.

Like the Free State boys, both from habit and principle, we feel very much disposed to fight but in consideration of the truce recently agreed on, and the approaching election, we will postpone, our enlistment in the coming inflict which will inevitably either end in civil war or the total disruption of the Free State Party. It will be seen from our extracts, that the Legislature has received its just d'ic in every part of Kansas. This is the first defeat of the Subterranean Democracy. It is overwhelming. We will not revert to it again, -but ask our readers, everywhere, to marl; the members, and see to it that, they are never permitted to 'minrepre-l nest their constituents again.

The few men who were incorrupt able in that organized corruption should be compelled to out, and vindicate their f.slion, as well as to specify the betrayers of the People's trust. But, though defeated in one movement, the Subterraneans have not given up the contest. Let us prepare to frustrate their next movement. It is to put the Leeompton Government in operation if the Conspirators' Constitution is accepted by Congress. "When they mgtd tne people to acquiesce in the Bolter's movement, they stated," repeatedly r.nd publicly, that, if the Leeompton Constitution assod, Vie Free State members elect, would only meet aud then adjourn immediately or, at least, that they would not do more than pass a law legalizing the proceeding; of the new Constitutional Convention.

Is'ow, Ewing of Leavenworth, publicly advocates a continuance of the Leeompton Government. "Thus was the program mo of the Democrat from the beginning. It. is true that (Lev denied it; but it is cqual.y true, that unless an indignant people tell them in tones not to be misconstrued, that they will jidvor sub- mit to their Us' rpation, an attempt will be made to carry out this truly infimous Ewing ex; ecis to bo elected S. Senator, and-hence Lis anxiety to vitalise the Iniquity.

Supposing, that the Leeompton Con-rtiictioa passes, and that Free State members receive their certificates, what is the true policy to pursued We sr.v let adhere to our principles; r.nd iill the Iniquity'Ly at on so substituting the new Com.iitution for -it. But-, if the members elect do otherwise, then let us once more resolve to rclr.u and, if necessary by the rrpe, the rifle and revolver rid our-reives of the would not give the of a copper between Marshall Smith; for it is not the engineer but the cnjuic that object to. Let it be mi-denAood, therefore, once and mr ill. thf.t the peace of Kansas will never be secured by tequiesenci in the Leeompton Iniquity. As for the Free State party, if such r- policy is even mooted, it trill snap like a thread and forever This, then, -Li the only i-sue now: Shall we submit to the Leeompton Gov- eminent, if the Bolters are invested with the powers granted by it As for the approaching election, there is no political issue presented in it.

cx-roDtius onlv this: Is it expedient to have -peace on a permanent and just is in Kansas A now Constitution, free State jn principle, will alone secure this boon. Every man, therefore, who desires to have eace. should vote for the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention man, at least, who thinks that the majority should j-i lo. If the LocompJon pns-t on the other Land, and Cidhoun gives A EOYAI, MARRIAGE. While legions of England's working men are out of employment, and their families are in state of the greatest destitution, and almost starving for want of food, England's queen and England's "nobility" are' solely engaged in celebrating the -nuptials of the princess royal.

Oue would have imagined that at a time of such great commercial distress, and when failure after failure has taken place in the commercial world, the marriage of a member of the royal family would have been temporarily suspended. But no They have been carried on as though no crisis had taken place as. though tie country was in its usual state of prosperity as though no poor wretches were starving for the necessaries of life. Of course we do no't suppose that the delay of a royal wedding would have had any effect in removing the evils under which England I has-been snfferiDg but we know that a little deference-- to the national feeling would have been appreciated by thousands of people in this country, and would not have betrayed a ar.Ilousness of heart which the present proceedings most 'unmistakably manifest. The event is trifling, and has not been noticed by a single journal that I have seen, yet it shows how much royalify is rapped up in its own affairs, and how little it cares fur the sufferings of those ia a lower sphere cf life.

The pa pcrs, of course, are filled with gossip about the affair it is the universal topic of conversation among the fairer and better half of creation and the dresses, ceremonials, and all the et cot eras used upon such occasions are discussed with a gusto which to those who don't care a straw about such matters is simply an intolerable bore. Matters of dress, however, are always of interest lo ladies, as they may wish to know what wis "fashionable" at the court, I cut the following scrap of information for their especial benefit from that paragon of fhn.jkcyi.sm- the Court Journal The costume which her Majesty wore at the nuiriiage of the Princess i loyal 'and Prince Frederick William was peach colour moire" antique, with Ilcniton lace and peach velvet train, the iio nee being the same which the Queen wore at her own wedding.

Several others were thrown in rapid succession, and by the concatinated exj losious which ensued, the cai-riage'was partly shattered.

A splinter of glass from the car-' ringc or windows 'scratched his face, and an her that of the Emprc3. who sat ky Lb; side.

In Republican, has a long and able review of the subject of Kansas affairs, and conies to the conclusion that, if the Leeompton in famy is forced through Congress, the people oi Kansas will take up arms, aiig that we of the north should 1 prepared to help them. We think with the editor, that this idea is strong in the public mind, and needs only an opportunity for organized expression, to give it a voice loud and deep as Niagara's roar.

We make the following extract from the Rr-puUimn "But why dwell longer upon this point. The policy indicated is fixed and unalterable in the public mind. All it now lacks is organized cxidonw. Give us an organization of KonzaH Lmauc. that shall extend throughout the Northwest.

Throe months time is amply sufficient to call into existence the organization ot half a million of men. who would be ready, willing and proud of forming a breastwork between the cohorts of pro-slavery federal despotism and the Cod -gi ven rigid of that people whom it is basely sought to enslave. Let this body bo constituted a le-served force, upon whom, as a last resort, the down-trodden and (-pressed people of that. Territory 'mav positively look for potent aid and comfort in the event of the admifdstration's forcing them fo bow in enslavement to the Leeompton yoke. This determination is even i ov a foregone con-" elusion.

The more formidable shape it is made to assume, tho more loth will tho usurpers be to challenge a trial of its strength. This may be counted but in the name of eaven is not tho whole mobocratic action of the general government but one continual record of usurpation, despotism and treason to every cherished right of the people of that Territory 1 Certainly to deny which would ba to controvert the plain cat facts of otic of the blackest pages of the records cf governmental crimes.

LITEEAnX With regard to literary matters I may say that Dr. Charles Mackray, who is now traveling in tho States, is said to have a r.ew work in the press about "the Mormons their present condition and future prospects." Since his arrival in Now York he has furnished several well written articles to the Illustrated London Xe'Ws. Of those which I Lave seen, one was devoted to a sketch "Broadway by diy," and a description of hotel life in Xew York another to "Broadway by night," and the saloons rfc. and a third to a journey to Boston.
