The sijuut- j>: ters, too, have already said thiee successive ntimes, at the polls, that Kansas sliouhi he a di lave State. But if all this is nut, enough, w then we say, without fear of successful eon- sa tradietion, that Kni^as must he a slave State, or the Union will he dissolved.? xi Who so hlinded as not to he aide to see it ? Let Abolitionists once control the United States Senate, and the Union is at an end, or the Southern people iuu<t debase them elves by submitting to in-ult ami injury, such as we know limy never will. And if >:l Kansas is not made a slave State, it requires no sage to foretell that, without some very extraordinary revolution, mere never will ??? lie another SI ive State; anil the ndmiuis- er (ration ??f the (lovornriunt tilt:>t. tali into in the hands of the AI ?>!itii>nist<?and ex- " perience has proven that none hut slaves " can sulnnit to !>e governed by them.

The Cincinnati Convention. * Wc stated in our last issue, some of 01 objections to the system of voting ncloptc in tlie National Convention. The inequa * ity of tlie vote might he partially remove hy allowing to each Stato in Convention, w number of votes equal to the Democrati i, Kcpresentalives in Congress. Kveu th )- would not he an equal distribution of powei yet, it would throw the preponderance < power whero the strength of the party lie d The Convention itself is only competent t ss prescribe rules for its own government and the South should, if sho consents I a representation in the Convention, at rem ir ously insist upon the adoption of this c o some more equitable rule, by which sli 18 could wield an influence commensurate wit ^ her Democratic strength. If the old sy! tern of voting is to obtain in the Coiiver tion, we go into it with a full knowledge c the fact that, though the South is the strong ? hold of tlie party, wo must of necessil c submit to the mercy of the North. C Though there may be, at this partieuhi " time, more urgent reasons for sending deh 1 gates to tbe Cincinnati Convention tha ever heretofore existed, to sustain and ci operate with the Democratic party in si "* lecting a nominee for the Presidency, w r are not prepared to advocate the polic a without some assurance that the Sout Y would have, if not an equal, an assimilatio i to equality in the deliberations of th;i e body. There is another objectionable prineipl thai invariably creeps into and becomes th f predominating element of all uominatin caucuses?which is that of- making th availability of the man proposed, the basi I of the nomination, and ignoring the noble s test of capacity and fitness for the statioi , When a candidate is proposed, the quef t lions then come up?Is he acceptable t the party ? will the party support him froi: j every section of the Union ? or has he pei haps, for his bold advocacy of constitu 3 tional principles in some of the great pas f issues of ihe country, rendered himself ol noxious to certain sections? If so, his si: periurity of intellect, his high claim t honor and position will be discarded, an though his ability and devotion to a ni lion's interest may be undoubted, yet he i i . .i . . . ... - quietly mm upon liie slielt, tor a second rat r man, one who can lay no claim to great f* ncss?perhaps obscure and unknown. It i a notable fact, that availability?this ml in. divinity of party conventions?has, in th ^ latter days of the Iiepuhli.*, overshadowe > those of tlie highest worth and merit, an > lifted to position thoso stamped by natur 1 with inferiority. It is lamentably ti ne, tlisi L' the great men of the nation can novel won * the Executive robes. It is true, that i some instances a man is selected who prove himself competent to the discharge of hi e duties to the country.

Though wo cann<: n ^ i consent that tlie State should go into tli Cincinnati Convention, without l.tdical ri forms in its organization, s " ,f We arc far from wi.-hing to stifle discus . nion upon this question. Let meetings < the people l>o called?let the question I .. discussed calmly. If it does 110 other goo< it may enlighten political sentiment nmon r tlie people. Wo have thought that on h people are too indifferent, and exhibit to t much political apathy upon questions i 1 which their interest is materially involvei If this matter was discussed before the pec pie, we have no doubt but that public opii - ion of this State would sanction the propr e ety of holding a convention in Columhi ' for the purpose of approving Pi buck's Ac ministration, and nominating him for ri t election. This, we think, would bo th .1 proper course of all the Southern State: Thus, to nominate him by States, and let i be understood at the North that the Sout had pitched upon her man, and would suf port no other, then, if there is no rotten | ness in the Democracy of the North upo I the question of slavery, they will rally t ' his support. j We hope our public men will give th ( | people tlic bcnelit of tlieir reflections.

In that same year, Younj rt nn<l Old America treated themselves t e $3,732,850 worth of watches and chronom eters and clocks of European make. Th?'i ' appetite too for foreign jewelrv. was haite 6 with $074,120 worth of the article, upoi which without sighing they paid a duty c thirty per cent. Of leather 10 cover tliei hands and their; feet, they sent across th 8 oce-in and brought to the tune of $3, 000,800. Having killed off all of our woolle manufactures, we let the foreigners tak '* from us in the same year $24,225,279 fo o fabrics, of woollhat we had to have, o o thought we wanted?for linen goods $8 017,165?for cotton goods only $15 742 , 923?for embroideries 1)8,802,740, and fo iron and steel and their manufactures $22, 0 080,828. Considering that America is th ! richest country on the faoe of the globe ii y ores of metals, and the means and skill to rt n duce them, the last item must have been bard one in a double sense, and perhaps in " ducod the importatoin by our people of sol vents for griefs and aids of digestion, in th i. shapeof $4.015,735 worth of wines and li j quore.

In cnnstructing the ' c j inaciiinc, a boiler is made, traversed by a ' I conical tnlio of copper, 30 inches in diaui11 ! eter at the top, 35 inches at the bottom, I ! in-ide of which a vane of wood of the e same shape is fitted, enveloped in a padding of hemp. An oil vessel keeps the hemp continually lubricated, and the wooden cone is so contrived as to p?e*>? steadily against the inside of the copper, , and to rotate rapidly hy means of a crank turned by hand or horse power. The whole of the boiler outside of the copper j cone in filled with water. The water being ( c made to boil by the mere effect of the | 1, frictiuti of the oiled tow again I the copper. rr When once the builing point is reached, it i may bo maintained for any length of q time. ii Rapid Iiicrea.se in the Population of 1 Texan.?Texas has increased very rapidly ( in population ot late years. In the year j 1850 the census gave it 212,502 inhabi'* tains. At the Presidential election in 1852 i- tlic total vote cast was 18,547. As the a population had increased considerably in |_ the period between 1850 and 1852, it mu?t then have been near 300,000. This would ; be in the ratio of about, one vote to every ? e sixteen inhabitants. If there had been no ( ?. increase in the population the ratio would q it have been about one voter to ove?y eleven < l( inhabitants. At the election held recently 111 it'xiui 110 icss man 40,04Y votes were ' polled. Applying the first ratio to this, ' we should have a population of 728.752, 11 being three times the aggregate of the 1 o population in 1850. Taking the lower ra- 1 tio, the total would bo 501,017, so that, in ' any case, the aggregate at this time must e exceed half a million. This is an astonitdir ing increase, and evinces that Texas has grown as rapidly as Iowa. Death of Prof. Ruber I Henry, LL. J).?

Schooner Experiment, the following information was received by Colonel Monroe, to whose politeness we are indebted for a perusal of Uol. Brown's report. The facts here given iiro a compilation from said report, and so Tar as they go are authentic. 41 A wood party, consisring of a corporal und five privates, with two wagons, and twelve mules, were fired nnoii l>v sumo flf.

As far as known, only one man, private Peterman, of Company C., made his eseape. lie made liis way to Fort Deynaud and reported the attack. Peterman received a slight wound in the calf of his leg. Lien'. . Lamed and (iarner, with about 35 enlisted men, were immediately ordered hy Col. Hrown to march to the place where the party was attacked, rescue the wounded or dead soldiers, ;md if any signs of the Indians should bu seen, to pursue and eha-liso them. "No signs of the i:?i>sing men, neither blood nor dead bodies, or even any track of them were discovered. "The unfortunate party were armed, hut owing 10 the fact that no Indian signs had been discovered in that region since the demonstration of the 20ih, they felt quite lecure, believing that thu Indians had gone further South, and consequently the attack was quite unexpected. " This startling intelligence, together with that received from the Miami, speaks too plainly that the savages are not satisfied, i ? i - - win are ueicrtiiiiieU to prosecute their murilerous operations with sin energy entirely uulookod for.
