Our fellow citizens in large poi lions of Kansas Territory aro threatened with famine. Ail thoir crops liavo failed.

swffr.yg afttrr hth, resigned Ins dictatorship mid departed for his Island' homo. A card has been issued and signed by tho most prominent citizens of Leavenworth, tendering assistance, if neodod, to tho Executive authorities, for tho suppression of tho difficulties in Southern Kansas. The Express arrived in Leaven-worth on tho 23d' with four pnsbeugors, ono of which was Judge Clements of and 42,000 in tho bands of tho passengers. John Douglas has been elected Territorial Rupormtendont, by a of between two and throo thousand. Tho last reports from California indiento that the 'Oil-test between Douglas and Lincoln ns clone.

As far as hoard from, Lincoln wns ahead several thousand. The Coming Administration. Much anxiety is felt as to the course tlijit will bo pursued by Lincoln when lie assumes the position of Chief Magistrate of our Government. By ninny even of his political opponents it is believed that ho will tnko a high, national, consci vativo ground so much so that ho will stirpriso tho great mass of the South, which is laboring under the foolish delusion that the Republican parly is purely sectional, and that as the choico of that party hd ill occupy a position of extreme partiality towards one section of the country, to the neglect of tho interests of another portion. Indeed, wo believe that many cf tho great leaders of the South expect this, mid fearing that their own political rep-utmion will suffer, in tho demolition of the great scare-crow they have held lip before their constituents, liavo thus early attempted to creato a confusion, wiLh tho hopo that it will cause a dissolution before Mr.

Lincolns course will have timo to diqiel the false impressions they have labored to fasten upon tho minds of the people; or failing to do this to work them up to a pitch of excitement, that they will bo unable to look atony of Mr. Lincolns acts with other than prejudiced eyes. Tho timo is rapidly approaching when the question will be tested. For ourself, wc have never bad anv apprehensions as to tho result. Ill spite of tho cries of seetionalsin on tho part of interested opponents, we Lave confidently looked lorward to tho timo when the question would bo fairly tested, as to whether the acts of a Republican Iresidcnt will not be far more national than those of former Demociatin Presidents, and fully as much so as could reasonably be expected by-all who are not tho tho most bitter partisans.

Wo have always believed and conscientiously, too that tho Republican party was a truly consumitivo party not conservative in tho senso that many givo to that term anti-progressive but occupying a position between that of two extremes, as advocated by tho Democratic and Abolition parties, one fur, and the other against Slavery. Many of our Democratic friends in the North are congratulating themselves with the expectation that in tho event of Mr. Lincolns taking a conservative courso in the Administration of tho Government, the party will bo split up and destroyed, a largo proportion, ns they believe, beiug unwilling to be contented with oilier than a radical Administration. In this, wo nro convinced, tlicy will, as usual, bo mistaken. We do not expect, nor liavo wo ever counted on tho union of tho Abolitionists with tho Republicans.

They nro oven now, with a few exceptions, ns bitter opponents as tho Republicans have. Advocating, as they do, tho doctrino of disunion, they nro better calculated to affiliate vith the Democrney of tho South who are laboring for tho sanio object. These wo expect will be opposed to tho coming Administration, and it is with this disunion element both North mid South that Mr. Lincoln will have to contend but tho supposition that the great mass of Union loving Republicans whoso votes have elevatod him to tho Presidential Chair, will bo discontented with a national, conservative Administration, is ns much in opposition to tho doctrines laid down in tho platform, ns of tho precedents established by tbo party, during its past six years existeuco. Tbo statement iu tho Record of tho 15th, to the effect that a eoinpromiso was effected between tho Odunty Commissioners and Town Trustees, by which tho former counted tho votes and tho latter took them from their hands, we pronounce, to say tho least, a miserable misrepresentation, and made out of whole doth and what is more, wo bclievo the Record know it was such when it wns published.

The facts in tiro caso aro, that the Trustees counted tho votes, tho Co. Clerk officiating ns Clerk for them, because it wns evident that they were tho legal canvassers, in profereuco to tho former, who afterwards took tho votes and inado out tho same returns. Tho Record may succeed in mnking some of its few venders abroad believe that what it says is correct; but it should lmvo more respect for tho opinions of ils patrons at home, than to nuiko a statement which they know is untrue. i wwatwnnaww i Will Kansas hd Admitted! Wa fear not. These nro, our reasons: 1st.

A positive dislike on the part of the Democratic Senate, of the very naine of Kansas and her people, Kansas I hey look upon as the ciuisO of all the trouble to the Democracy, 2d. Our admission will tin tho Renata between the miti-shiveiy mid pro-slavery Senators, thereby giving to tho ItepiiMiciins ils control, through Vice-President iianlitis casting vote. 3d. Tho next. House of Representatives will he very evenly divided the vote of our Republican Congressman might make a great, ditlbrenco iu tho organization of tho body.

For those causes, wo fear our admission may be postponed indefinitely. On tho other hand, wo can see one very strong reason why tho Democracy will seek to hurry us in before Lincolns iiiaugurotion, viz: Tho creating of Kansas into a United States judicial district, and tho appointment of its edge, who will hold Ins oiliee for lito. Beyond doubt this post 1ms been promised to Judge Pettit which, by tho way, a Democratic friend suggested to us was tho chief reason why ho would not got the appointment. Gov. Reward, when hero, expressed the utmost confidence in our admission tho ensuing winter.

Democrats high in offico lmvc- assured us heretofore, that Lincoln's election would insure our speedy admission. Yet, on llio are iuclined to doubt our becoin ing a Stato very soon. Of course, shortly after tho 4th of March next, there will ho a complete mid eutire change in our Teirito-rial officers, if we nro not admitted. Wo can name, already, several Republicans who aro willing to serve their country in some one of those Territorial offices and doubtless they will have tho cliuneo. A few weeks will tell tho story.

A correspondent of tho New York- Tima, writing from Maploton, in this Territory, thus describes tho outrages committed not long sitico upon the Ch crokeo settlers: it is told by ninny finesses that tho agent manifested tho spirit of a biute through tho whole affair.

One incident is related that must he Ira ombnlnird. I heard tho same from at least Km ten different gentlemen) and the facts will Lo fj? sworn to if desired. An old gentleman )St with a largo family had1 watched tho prog- atn re.ss of these incendiaries during the day, Jon they had approached his own house bo- 55 fore encamping for the night. In the oveiiing lie walked over to the camp mid tried to prevail on tho colonel to spare his house mid homo, as ho was a poor man without it, but with it ho was in good civ- eiiuistances. The colonel was cold and crusty toward Him, and gruffly replied that he would have a visit in the morning.

J1 Tho man returned home sad and dejected, ijm Sleep afforded him little -consolation thnt night, but lie talked over with his wife ter 1 misfortune they wei about to share. lie; suspected the can so of tbo discriminations in r.f UllilltlOS V. If. made in favor of certain families previously, re and resolved to try the experiment rather than submit willingly to tho Fedeial ordeal. In tho morning he called again upon the agent and renewed his appeal.

Where were you from when you came to Kansas? inquired the colonel. From Missouri, was tho answer. Where shall you go to if you aro driven out? To Aikansas, down on Soldier Creek. Have you friends living there? Yes, all the friends 1 anywhere aro down there. Well, Sir, you hail better go hack home, and Ill come Slong there soon, and well talk the matter over but you neednt put your tilings out until I come.

The man went homo, hut he found his wife, in her alarm, had carried tho furniture all out before his return. He let it remain, however, and in due time the Colonel and his posse came along. Well, says the Colonel, What is all this for? I told you not to got your things In out till 1 came. jg' I know yon did, but my wifo had thorn all out lu-foro I gut hack. i Its lio matter; just get iu and ride with mo a little way, and well talk the matter ib over.
