TIIE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

Wo have received this important document, but too late for this week's issue.— Our readers will notice a synopsis of it in another column. We shall give it entire in our next week's edition.

•©"'In the last number, of the Journal, our young friend Mr. Ingersoll talks flippantly of dough-faces and about changing of positions. Does the gentleman wish to compare his political record with ours?— Docs he rccollect of informing us some three or four years ago that his private feelings were warmly in favor of a limited monarchy, similar to that of England?— Docs he recollect of making speeches in favor of the "pro-slavery democracy," and then failing to obtain the management of a certain old-line organ, whiped off all of a sudden into the black ranks of the Ab olitionisis? Dough-face, forsooth.

tSfWc are pleased to see that Presi dent Buchanan docs not endorse the proceedings of the Lcccuipt Convention, and that lie deeply regrets that the whole con stitntion was not submitted to the people of the territory for their acceptance or re jeetion. We regard the constitution as a miserable cheat, and the members of the convention that framed it a graccless set of rogues. That the present Democratic Congress will wipe out the whole thing there is not the slightest doubt.

l@y*Tho proceedings of the Lccompt Constitutional Convention was notliin more nor less than the carrying out of pure ]'"a?k Republican principles. The Convention argued that Congress, not the people of the Territory, should have a voice in the forming of (heir domestic institutions yet these black-hearted dissemblers •re horror-struck at an iniquity which they themselves have ever advocated.

5©"Dr. McClelland lias generously tendered the tise of his splendid Hall for the Democratic Convention to bo holdcn on the 26th inst. Let the leaders of the party in every township bestir themselves.— A grand time is anticipated.

GODEY'S MAGAZINE.

In another column our readers will notice the prospectus of this celebrated magazine. We recommend it as one of the best monthly periodicals published, and one which no lady should be without.— Now is the time to make up your clubs.

JST'Late advises from Washington indicate that the best of harmony exists among the Democratic members of both houses. Tho promptness with which the house was organised, and the alacrity with which thev proceeded to the transaction of the nation's business, contrasts finely with the quarreling mobocrata of the Bhck Republican party that controlled that body at its last session. President Buchanan's message is one of the ablest State documents that has emanated from tho White House for years, and should be read by every one.

CHRISTMAS DAY IS COMIXG.—Pies must

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

[BY TELEOIULPII.]

MEETING OF CONGRESS. -N. WASHmoToir, Dec: 7. The weather is charming to-day. The galleries and other parts of the Capitol are crowdcd, and the greetings between members and friends are pleasantly exciting.

SENATE.—Senate was called to order by thc Secretary, who read a letter from the Vice President stating that he would not be able to reach Washington at the com mcnccment of tho scs3io». About fifty members are present.

On motion of Mr. Benjamin, a resolu tion was adopted that the oath prescribed by. the Constitution be administered to the new Senators by 31 r. Bright, the oldest member present

Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, and Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, new mem bcrs, took their seats, and the Senate then proceeded to ballot for a President pro tem.

Mr. Fitzpatrick was chosen and returned thanks. The usual resolutions were adopted to inform the House and President of the United States of the organization of the Senate.

The Senate then went into executiv session, and confirmed the President nomination of Geo. W. Bowman, editor of the Bedford Gazette, ae Superintendent of Public Printing.

HOUSE.—Two hundred and twenty-one members answered to their names. A quorum being thus ascertained to be present, the House proceeded to the clee tion of a Speaker.

Mr. Orr was nominated by Jones, of Tennessee, and Grow, by Mr. Banks, with the following result Orr, 128 Grow, 86 scattering, 13. The annunciation was greeted with applause.

The Clerk then appointed Messrs. Ste pheus and Banks to conduct Mr. Orr to the Chair, and the oath was administered by Mr. Giddings.

On assuming the chair, Mr. Orr cxprcs sed thanks for the honor conferred, and said the delicate and responsible duties of the Chair would be comparatively light, if he should be so fortunate as to secure the co-operation of the members in despatching business, and upholding the dignity of the House.

He promised to adiniuistcr the rules which may be adopted, with firmness and impartiality. The great business confided to them by the people, admonished them to cultivate patriotism as extensive as the confederacy itself. He cherished the hope that business may be transacted to pro mote the interest and happiness of the en tire people: that the Constitution be main tained, and that their legislation would quicken the greatness and glory of the common country. [Applause.]

The members to be sworn then advanc ed by delegations for that purpose. On motion of Mr. Clingman, the rules of the last House were adopted until other wise ordered, with a proviso to the last rule, viz That whenever any committee diall have occupied the morning hour for two days, it shall not be in order for such committee to report further until the oth committee shall have been called in. :urn.

Mr. Clingman alluded to the fact that the committee on Public Lands had for several sessions monopolized the morning hour, compelling the other committees to rely on the courtesy of the House to make reports.

Mr. Allen, of Illinois, was elected Clerk of the House, receiving the same number of votes as Mr. Orr received for Speaker.

Mr. Glosbrcnlier wa3 elected Sergeant-at-Arms, and Mr. Hackney Door-keeper. Mr. Clusky was declared Post Master by resolution.

Mr. Florence of Pennsylvania, gave notice of his intontion to introduce a bill for the entire suppression of all bank notes as currency, or of bank notes of a less denomination than one hundred dollars, as a circulating medium in the District of Columbia.

The House then adjourned.

The President's Message.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.

The President' says that, owing to the monetary derangements of the country, a government loan may be required before the close of the present session. The financial history of the last forty years is one of extravagant expansions in business, followed by ruinous contractions, and as the Federal Government cannot do much to provide against a recurrence of existing evils, wc must rely mainly upon the patriotism and wisdom of the States, which should afford a real specie basis for our circulation.

Recommends the passage of a bankrupt law applicable to all the banking institutions in the country.

As Great Britain and the United States understand the Clayton and Bulwer treaty in a sense directly opposite, he says the wisest course is to abrogate it by mutual consent, and commence anew.

Overtures for an adjustment have been recently made by the British Government in a friendly spirit, which the President cordially reciprocates.

With all the other Governments, except Spain, our relations arc as peaceful as we could desire.

It is the President's purpose to send out a Minister, with special instructions on all questions pending between the two Governments, and with the determination to have them speedily and amicably adjusted if possible.

While our Minister to China has been instructed to occupy a neutral position in regard to the existing hostilities in Canton, he will cordially co-operate with the British and French Ministers in all peaceful measures to secure, by.treaty stipulations, those just concessions to commerce which the nations of the world-have a right to expect, and which China cannot be permitted to withhold.

Our difficulties with New Grenada are, it is to be hoped, in a fair train for settlement, in a manner just and honorable to both parties. The United States are more deeply interested than any other nation in preserving the freedom and security of all the communications across the Isthmus of Central America, including Panama.

Kecommends the passage of an act authorizing the President, in case of necessity, to employ land and naval forces to carry into effect this guarantee of neutrality and also similar legislation for the security of any other route across the Isthmus, in which we may acquirean interest by treaty.

The President condemns the lawless expeditions fitted out against the independ-ent-Republics on this continent* and commends the whole subject to the serious attention of Congress, believing that our duty and interest, and our national character require that we adopt such measures as will be effectual in restraining our citizens from committing such outrages.

The President says that the Kansas Constitutional Convention was not bound by the Kansas-Nebraska Act -to submit any other portion of the Constitution to an election of the people, except that- which relates to the domestic institution of slaver}\ An election will be held under the legitimate authority, and if any portion of the inhabitants refuse to vote, (a fair opportunity to do so having been presented,) this will be their own voluntary act, and they alone will be responsible for the consequences.

The President says the rebellion in Utah is the first which has been excited in our Territories, and humanity requires that it should be put down in such a manner that it should be the last. In order to do this it will be necessary to raise four additional regiments of troops.

Recommends the establishment of a territorial Government for Arizonia, and commends to the friendly consideration of Congress the subject of the Pacific Railroad, without finally committing himself to any particular route.

Calls special attention to the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy in favor of the construction of ten small steamers of a light draught, and refers to other subjects of national importance.

In referring to the financial crisis, the President concludes thus :—"But this, say, after long reflection, if experience shall prove it to be impossible to enjoy the facilities which well regulated banks might afford, without at the same time suffering the calamities which the excess of the banks have heretofore inflicted upon the country, it would then be far the lesser evil to deprive them altogether of the power to issue a paper currency, and confine them to the functions of banks of deposit and discount."

In referring to the public lands, he says they could be disposed of so as to furnish homes for a hardy and independent race of honest and industrious citizens, desirous of cultivating the soil.

To squander away the public domain upon objects questionably constitutional, is a violation of the most important trusts committed to any people. He depreciates speculation in the public lands, and says the public survey ought only to keep pace with the tide of immigration.

If Congress shall, hereafter, grant alternate sections, to States or Companies, other sections should be retained, subject only to actual sellers, at moderate prices, lie saj's, making presents to Indians has been found ineffectual, and recommends the policy of colonizing them in suitable localities, introducing tho rudiments of education, and the habits of industry.— The late financial revolution, he says, will have a good effect, should it cause a return to the practice of wise and judicious economy in public and private expenditures. lie deprecates the practice of Congress crowding the most important bills to the last moments of the session, and expresses a determination to approve of no bill, unless time is afforded for the examination required by the Constitution. Recommends Congress to allow the President two days prior to adjournment, within which time no bill shall be presented him for approval.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.

HOUSE.—After the usual preliminary business the House resumed the consideration of the two propositions pending relative to the election of printer.

The proposition submitted by Mr. Houston was, that the House proceed to the election of printer, with the proviso that the House retains tho right possessed by Congress to modify the existing law on the subject of the public printing, that the printer, who may be elected under this resolution, receiving the said election with and upon the condition above set forth, an 1 that a committee be appointed to examine the whole subject and report such change or improvement as they may deem advisable.

The vote was then taken upon Mr Smith's substitute which was rejected—yeas'91 uays 113.

The other proposition by Mr. Smith of irginia, as a substitute provided for a similar examination, and that the election be postponed until the committee make a report.

Mr. Banks moved to lay Mr. Houston's resolution on the table. Motion negatived —yeas 82, nays 106.

The question being upon Mr. Houston's original resolution, it passed by a majority of 40.

The House then proceeded to the lection of Printer. Mr. Bocock nominated James B. Steadman, and Mr. Washburn, of Maine, nominated George M. Weston.

The vote was then taken, and resulted as follows: James B. Steadman, 121 Geo. 31. Weston, 89: scattering, 4. The former was declared elected.

SENATE.—The galleries were densely crowdcd again this morning in expectation of a speech from Senator Douglas.

Mr. Pugh gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill for the improvement of the navigation of the Ohio river.

Mr. Mason offered a resolution which was debated and passed inviting the clergymen of tho District to officiate gratuitously as Chaplains of the Senate.

Mr. Gwinngavc notice of his intention to iutroduce a bill providing for the construction of a Northern, Southern and Central Pacific Railroad also, a bill to organize the Territory of Arizonia.

Mr. Douglas said he was erroneously under the impression that the President had approved of the Lecompton Convcn tion, and under that impression he felt it to be his duty to shite that while he concurred in the general views of the message yet so far as it did approve or endorse the action of that Convention, he entirely dissented from it, and would give his reasons for such dissent.

Upon a more careful and critical examition of the Message, he was rejoiced to find that the President had not entirely approved of the action of that Constitution. He was also rejoiced to find that the President had not recommended that Congress should pass laws for receiving Kansas into the Union as a State under the Constitution framed at Lecompton. .It is true that the tone of the Message indicates a willingness on the part of the President to

sign any bill which Congress might pass, receiving Kansas as a Free State into the Union trader that Constitution: but it was a very significant fact that the President had refrained from any endorsement of the Convention, and from any recommendation as to the course Congress should pursue in regard to the admission of Kansas.

Indeed, the President had' expressed deep mortification and disappointment that the whole Constitution was not submitted to the people of Kanzas, for their acceptance or rejection.

Ho proceeded to show that Congress could not properly receive Kanzas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution. Not.only the slavery question, but all others must be submitted to the people of Kanzas, as they are guaranteed to establish all their domestic institutions for themselves. On this principle, the whole constitution must be submitted, to ascertain whether or not it meets with their approval.

Mr. Douglas contended that the people of Kanzas ought to have an opportunity to vote against the Constitution if they choose to do so. lie compared the freedom allowed by the Lecompton Convention to tho freedom at the election iu Paris, when Louis Napoleon was elected President.

The reason assigned why the people of Kanzas were not allowed to vote on the acceptance of the Constitution prepared was, that they would vote it down by an overwhelming majority. He believed they would, and thought it a clear violation of the organic act, thus forcing the obnoxious constitution upon the majority.

Mr. Douglas's remarks were received with applause from the galleries. Mr. Bigler replied to Mr. Douglas, saying that the convention was called according to law, and had been recognized by the President and Governor of the Territory, and it was their right, to submit the constitution to the people or send it to Congress without submission. If it was right in itself, republican in form, and the people had firmly decided the slavery question, it would not be right to crowd them out of the Union, simply because the whole constitution had not been submitted to them.

To do so, would be inconsistent with the doctrine of non-intervention, and there was nothing in the past history of the country to justify such a course. It would be the duty of Congress to look at the question as it came before them, and do the best they could.

Looking to the happiness of the entire country, he had long been under the impression that it would be best for the Union and Kansas that tho State should be admitted at the first allowable opportunity. In order to localize, the strife, lie would have preferred that the whole Constitution had been submitted to the people but persons outside of the territory have no right to interfere with the slavery question there lie believed that the people of Kanzas now have a fair opportunity to decide

whether they will have a free or a slave State. lie could not, however, determine his entire course until they shall make such decision. He said that the position of Mr. Douglas to-day was in utter derogation of that which he occupied when he voted for Toombs' bill, which proposed to make a State Constitution, and put it into operation, without submitting it to a vote of the people, and this was only a shoi time ago. lie could not understand how Mr. Douglas had so readily become sensi tivc, regarding the rights of the people ifter having attempted such an infringe mcnt upon them.

Mr. Douglas—"I am certain that Mr Bigler did r.ot speak for the President.— I know that—for the President has just spoken for himself in his message, in which he condemns the Convention for not sub mitting the Constitution to the people, and refuses to recommend inc to receive it.'

The President is bold and frank iu his manner, and if he intended to give us an administrative measure he would say so.

It is not respectful to assume that wc will do what ho will not recommend us to do, of course. I know that the Senator from Pennsylvania did not speak by authority."

Mr. Bigler.—"I thiuk that I am safe in saying, and think that the Senator from Illinois will agree, that the President up holds in his message the doctrine that the Convention had a right to form a Constitution and submit it to tho people for ap proval, or send it up to Congress for approval. I think that it is deducible from the message that the President docs not hold that because the entire Constitution is not submitted to the people, Kanzas should be kept out of the Union."

Mr. Douglas—"I infer from the Message that the President does hold that the Con vention had the right to form a Constitution, and send it here but that was only right to petition for redress of grievances under the Federal Constitution, and not because the Legislature had the power to constitute that a legal Convention."

Mr. Bigler—"Where did you get that?" Mr. Douglas—"From history." A gentleman (meaning Mr. Trumbull) had read from a spccch made by Mr Buchanan twenty years ago, to show that the Legislature had no right to create a Convention to supersede the territorial Government, and to attempt it would be gross usurpation.

The Democratic party lias held that doctrine ever since and assumed it a year ago, by increasing his (Document) report from the Committee on Territories. Three hundred thousand copies were circulated as a party document and lie himself had paid for one hundred thousand of them.— (Laughter).

Mr. Bigler entered his protest and claimed the statute of limitation. He coujfl not consent that Mr. Douglas should hold the President responsible for principles laid down twenty years ago under entirely different circumstances.

It is not half so long ago that Mr. Douglas declared that the Missouri line was the best compromise. Iu '48 he proposed to extend it to the Pacific ocean, yet he repealed the whole of it. Mr. Douglas denied the right of Mr. Bigler to offer a statute of limitations. None but the authorized attorney of the party can thus interpose. As the Senator has denied the authority to speak for the President, he cannot fQe that plea.",

Mr. Douglas approved of the statute of limitation. He needed one very much himself. He had never boasted that he had never changed his opinions. He felt every year a little wiser than the year before. Has the President ever withdrawn that opinion? He denied the right* to plead for a statute of limitation against the

Cincinnati Convention until the Charleston Convention should meet. He stood now where he stood last jreaf, because he believed that he was right.- It was true that he voted for Toombs' bill, and was ready to vote for it again. By doing

vote

measure that he would not

for

now.

After further debate the matter was postponed and the Senate adjourned.

LATER FROM THE PLAINS, -----

<COL. JOHNSON ROBBED OF ALL HIS PROVISIONS.> -----

IMMEDIATE MARCH OF ThE TROOPS ON SALT LAKE CITY! -----

Spacial [sic] Correspondence of the Cincinnati Times. -----

LEAVENWORTH CITY, K. T., } November 28, 1857. }

EDITOR TIMES:—An express arrived here to-day from Fort Laramie, bringing startling intelligence from the plains. It is that the Mormons have attacked and captured all the provisions, mules and horses belonging to Col. Johnson's command! The U. S. troops, therefore, are without the means of ever reaching Fort Laramie. Col. Johnson, therefore, finds himself compelled to march forthwith on Salt Lake City, or perish by starvation in the mountains.

The news brought by the express states that he has determined to march at once upon Salt Lake City and quarter with the Mormons this winter or fight!

The intelligence has produced quite a sensation here, as it is feared Col. Johnson is in a fearful position, from which he cannot extricate himself, and that his command is doomed to a fearful fate.

I shall give you details of the news as soon as possible. C. E. -----

ENTERPRISING.

Omaha City, the capital of Nebraska Territory, contains a population of three thousand five hundred. But three years ago the town site was the favorite campingground of the Omaha Indians. A number of three-story brick business blocks, costly and handsome private residences, steepled churches and school-houses, evidence the energy and enterprise of the citzens, and presage a bright future for the young metropolis. The capitol, toward the building of which $50,000 was appropriated by Congress, has been inclosed and partially completed by the city authorities. The corporation of Omaha issued $50,000 scrip for this object, which passes as currency throughout the Territory, and answers all purposes for a home exchange. Should Congress fail to make an appropriation to indemnify the city for this large expenditure, the public squares aud parks will be sold to redeem the scrip, within one year from the date of its issuance.— The Territorial Legislature met the other day in the new capitol.

The Rural American.

TIIE

west (Mo.) Democrat, says that a portion of Kansas, between the 3Sth and 39th •parallels, near Pike's Peak, on the South Platte, is auriferous. Mr. Beck, from the mining regions of North Georgia, has visited that part of the territory, and says that for three hundred miles around gold may be obtained. The Indian Agent says there is some excitement among the Creeks about these golden regions, lie says further that it is unsafe for small companies to visii the gold sections, in consequence of the presence of hostile tribes of Indians. This auriferous country is in the extreme Western end of Kansas, in the mountain region.
