Faoar KANZAs -The Washintz:on Star learns from. a gentleman who h1:is jutt returned from Kai:sas. where he has been ever since the pis. sage of the Territorial Government bill, that so thr no slaves have been carried int the terrihorv, though many Arkansas and Missouri slavehol detrs and other Southern State citizens have ta ken up " ehims" there. Up to a very recent period the Sout hern settlers greatly outnumbered those from Northern Sttes who were going in there. Now, howver, the tide seems to have changed. Accoridinjg to t ie views of this intelli gont and usually well informed gentleman, ere the- next Presidential electioni cotes oil, Kansas will have formed her State Constitution and will be knocking at the door of Congress for admis sion into the Union as a State. DECLINE IN BREAaSTUrF.-There was quite a panlic in the New York flour market. on .\Mon d:iy ; prices of all rades receded 5U a 75 cents. Yesterday there vas a further decline in that market of 25 a 50 cents per barrel. The cause of this material reduction is increased receints and an indisposition on the part of buyers to take more than enough to satisfy their must pressing wants. Wheat also gave way several cents in the bushel. The day for cheap bread is apparently near at hand. Alhhough unplea sant news to farmers and tlour mercalints, it will be hailed with no little satisfaiction bv conistimers particularly the poor, who have for so many 'months been compelled to pay most exorbitant Prices. CISCINNAT!, Septeimber 27, 1854. A terrible riot occured here between the liro. testants and German Cat holics, in which fire-arims were freely u-ed and tkree perons 4bot.

A LARGE crowd was in attendance ott this occasion, although but little property was sold. Of that little we observed that one pineywoods tract, six miles from town, brought only eleven dollars and a half per aere.

Wr.call the reader's attention to a letter on our first page. athiressed by Col. F. W. PicxF.:s:, of klfie ld, ID 110n. J~ues L. Ointt, the Congressional Represen tative of the oll Pintkney District. It is in reply to one of enquiry frioo Mr. Oia, and purports att the out set to consider the Electoral question mainly. Iltt the writer seems to have followed tilt thi bent of his thoughts, ittitil, in adlition to the point immitediately before him, ie has dietcssed anioter antier of the gravest mo.ment: we mean, the reason of tie Com promise made in 1808, betw*een the tpper and lower divisions of South Carolina, upon the matter of Rep resentation in our State Legislature. Ti tnr view, this portion (f his letter is well worthy the attentive consideratioi of every South Carolinian; nor is it really so nuch a departure from the proposition di rectly involved in Mr. Oa's query as at the first glance it would seem to be. In view of the ground (taken bya good many who oppose giving the election of Presidetitial Electors to the people) that it is anti conservative, arid therefore dangerotis, it was natural to set forth what the writer believed to be true conl servatism, as enitra-distinenished from that timitid lritiking back from all innovation whith passes with soie for the genuine principle. 'T'rte conservatism, nith the citizcris of any free State, conista not so much jn objecting to all chiatiaes in the establiihued order of things as it does in arrint ing to the people with a good grace ait a trtistng spirit the exercise of sneh powers as tfy rihltfuelly aind reasonably cluim. It is better to "give an inch" than to be forced by an excited majority to yield "an ell." There is much force, we readily adunit, in that tild addage which teaches men to " let well enongh alone." But it seems equally clear that the muxot loses all its virtue, when to inake it a rule of action in atny givein in-tance produces unfortuale dissen sins in the Suite. Sieh, we apprehend. will lie the case in South Catrolina, if those who control the ac tion of our Legislature shall attempt to kill, by their iegatives, the proposition (which is daily gainin ground) to throw the election of Presidential Ehi-etors before the people. It is a rational arrangenenit imope rionly called for by the circumstances of our peculiar sitnatito, and one which promises toact at least as well as the present sy-tein and much less clisinly. We have yet to see or hear any valid objections to the change contemplated ; and we caution getilemen to ask themselves the question (and to weigh it well) whether it will otit he the truly conservative course to recognise at once the justice antd propriety of the innuoation. Here, it is a mere question (if ptolicy, nt of right; and lie is the wise staitesman :i:d the trie conservative who fashions that policy to prtidhiie. the least possible evil, eveun though to ido so inmy re tiire that the old establied order of things be essen tially alhered. But there are questitOis of principle Itantt of right which will not admit (if aty such tarn periig. -Such is the ote ChIcidated b1y C!. PItK:s ill the latter aid larer portion of his letter.

That representaiion should follow taxation as well as poi u lation, is just such a priniple as demand i this ironj cast of conservatism in its defence.
