Lecompton I) seated in the House* The Senate bill protiding for the ad-mie-ion of Kansas into the Union, as a sovereign State. under the Constitution which was framed at L-compton, has failed at was expected, io the House of Representatives. An amendment similar to the one offered by Mr. Crittenden in Senate, passed the by a decided vote of 180 to 112. and then the bill, as amended, passed by the same vole, and was immediately eent to the Senate for their concurrence. The probab litr is, the Senate will reject the amendment, and wii! at .ere to the original bill; and the Hoose with equal eertainty. will refuse Co recede, and a Committee of c.-aference w,.l necessarily have to be appointed by both branches of Congress, and unless a compromise can be effected, which will be satisfactory to the Democratic party, Kansas will be refused admission during the present settlors. The main feature of the amendment i» contained in the following section: ••That the State of Km«a« b« at lis hereby admitted into the Union or. sn equal footing with the origin*; States in ali reepeeU whatever; but in as nat as it s greatly disputed w .tether the c ' itution w th which Kansas is now ».’■: tiled was fairly made, nr expresses the will of I e peop eof Kansas, lb s aJmi*>i< n of her into the Union as a State is Ltre declared to be upon this fundaments' condition, precedent, namely: that the said cno s instrument shall be first subsisted to a Vote of the people of Kiasa« and assented to by them or a majority of the voters at an election to beheld for the purpoee; and as soon as such assent shall be g ven and duly made known to the President of the Untied States, he shall announce the same by proclamation, and thereafter and without any further proceedings on the part of Congress the admission of the said State of Kansas into the Union on an equal footing with the original Stales in all respects whatever shall be complete and absolute. At the said election the voting shall be by ballot, and by indorsing on his ballot, as each voter may please, "’for the constitution,” or •‘against the constitution.” Should the said constitution be rejected at the said ♦lection by a majority of rotes being cast against it, then, and in that event, the inhabitants of raid Territory are hereby authorized and empowered tcJorm forthemee'rea a constitution and State government by tbe name of the 'State of Kansas, preparatory to its admission into the Union according to the Federal Constitution, and to that end mar elect delegates to a convention as hereinafter provided.” It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of Congress, as published to-day that Messrs. Dari*. English, and Foley voted for the wmradment, while Messrs. " :g .s, Gregg and Niblick voted against it. tonaty Summations.

True Eloquence. Rufus Choate has recently delivered an oration in Boston on the character of Jefferson, Hamilton and Burr. Of Mr. Jefferson he said: The great ami learned man had some i 'speciality by which he moved the people, ’ yet were they ail centred in one clariop I cry. which animated the age of the Dec- I laraiion of Independence—by which the < whole rising people spoke out their full > heart, tbeir long yearning io be free. The t specialities of eloquence an 1 wisdom of s James Otis. John Adams, Hawley, Pat- t rick Henry, Samuel Adams and Wash- 1 ington, were ali embodied in that Decla- 1 ration. Yet we cannot criticise it. Un- ' ‘derstand it. interpret it, love it we can, t ' but criticise it we cannot. 1 hold it for t expression almost unrivaled by the pro- ; ductions of unin«prired men. I would • not add to it it I could, or take from it by t a single word. I would not pitch it on a tune higher or a tune lower. I would < r.ot alter it. I night, in argument, expostulation. epithet. On the morning of t every Fourth of July, it should be re'ad 1 and meuitated anew, as tbe wisest express' of our wisest men, speaking fori] Cj gres< spelling for man, speaking for ’ America in her sublimeat moments. The eloquent orator thus concludes: Where now would these three men stand in these crises, which are thought to have come upon us. if they were a ive? . How do they look upon them and upon us, it t ey descend from their homes of :g;.:, and ealm, and love? That Farewell Address of Was ington—how would it appear if its counsels and expostulations Were made tO-d*r? Tbe.r counsel would be: “The Union —it must he and shaii be preserved, just as we left it to you.” To them these strife* of party, these debates about Lecompton and Topeka, this array of South against North, and Last against West, tii.s fanaticism for freedom, and this fanaticism against freedom, seem now as tiie shadow that passes, as therlpp e upon the depth* unsounded and sunless, as the •mall disturbance and purturbation that cannot charge the cour»e or hasten tbe doom of stars. They, all three of them, stand together and rejoice to see our true civ., zat.cn. our better liberty, our people, boundless as ice waves, one as the tea, one sun. rising, yet going forth a* a bridegroom from ius chamber, as a strong man beginning only to run his race. The Alleged Murder of Five American. The Placerville, (Cal.) Index publishes as from a correspondent in Mariposa, tbe following information touching ths recent murder of five American citizens by the Mormons, as to which alleged event various accounts have already appeared in our columns: “The party of American citizens recently murdered by the Mormons were from Mariposa county. They were much respected, had many friends in this vicinity, and were useful and worthy members of society. The names of two of the party, brothers, are John and Thos. Aiken. They were formerly from Texas. A Mr. Eichard, another of the party, once kept a livery stable at Agui Frio, a few miles distant from this place. Honesty Jones, still another of the party, was constable of this township in 1854-5. All of them had means, (one of the Aikens $7,000,) the accumulations of years of sweat and honest toil. They left here about the first of October last, as they stated, for the purpose of buying cattle for the California market, or if they found prospects unfavorable, with the intention of applying for a contract to furnish Col Johnson command with beef and other supplies.— Failing in this they designed proceeding to the States. Letters from some of the party were received here about a month since, stating they had been arrested, robbed and were then confined by the Mormons, ostensibly on the allegation of being spies of the Federal Government, but likely upon the real ground of the crime of having money; and doubless they were afterwards murdered upon the principle that “dead men tell no tales.” A general indignation prevails here at this flagitious outrage, and especially at the manner of the assassination of the two survivors of the Indian (!) attack after they had fled for refuge into the Salt Lake settlement. . ———⇹⤛⬬⤜⇹——— The Turk Getting His Eye-Teeth Cut. I The Turkish Admiral, now a guest in Washington, is getting his eve teeth cut. He had not been in town a dar till, as it has been before stated, his e room was entered and one ot hi* trunks e robbed of §2.000 in gold, and the jeweled e decoration* of honor of the Pacha.

It is reported that, since his arrival in this country, on a certain eecasion, a lady was • admiring an elegant cashmere shawl worn - bv the Admiral. He gallantly took it • from hi* *h<«ul icrs and laid it upon her own. to witness its effect, or perhaps mo7 mentari’y to gratify Ler vanity.

Report of Hon. T. L. Harris. The views of the minority of the select ; investigating committee of the House are , presented in a lengthy paper bv Hon. T. , L Harris, of Illinois.' We shall endeavor , to convey a succinct analysis of it. The majority of the select committee, which was very unfairly selected, adopted a report, based not on facts, but on specula- ( lions, and delivering sharp criticisms upon distinguished men, rather than sound reasons for the admi-sion of the Lecomp- ; ton measure. As this majority did not j seek reliable information, they prevented i the minority from having it also; so the . latter have been obliged to follow the ex- i ample of the former, and give their own , views, rather than authentic data collected | bv the committee. It is held that this is I the first time any President of the United i States ha? taken sides for or against the j action of Congress in regard to the ad- < mission of a Mate. i There is ample evidence to show that since Octobi r last the people of Kansas are in complete harmony with the Terri- ’ torial government. If there has been any 1 hostility to it, it has been on tbe part of the Lecomptonites. It is true that the 7 people protest against the L*-compton constitution. by vote and otherwise; but this is not rebellion, as no attempt has yet J been made to enforce Lecompton. The organic act did not provide that • Kansas should come into the Union 1 » ’.enever the people desired. If it did, ‘ Kausa? is a State now, and our differences are without foundation. The Pres- r ideal says the organic law recognized the r right of the people of the Territory, with- : out any enab ng act from Congress to 1 form a State constitution. This, in his 1 opinion, was too clear for argument. — • T « report differs w itb him. It says, if ' the President becorrect, why is not Kansas in tbe Union as a State? The fra- c mers of the Lecompton constitution did ■ not consider they had a right to form a State without the assent oi Congress, for ’ that instrument denies to itself any vali- • lily or force until the State tkall be ad : mitied by Congress. Certain clauses sl-.ow that the Convention claimed no ' right to exercise any power as a State, ' but having framed their constitution, they sent it to Congress as a petition, and they ■ now ask us to recognize that consiitution f at creating a Slate, by the admission o! ‘ such State into the Union. • ••••* 1 Touching the question of population ■ and the rights based upon it, the re- ! port gets live foil >w ng figures ’ Under the law of February 17. 1857, to ■ take a census, there were 9, 251 registered voters. The census was completely taken but in twelve of the thirty-four ' counties, leaving twenty-two in which no 1 census wjs taken. In the twelve counties there were 25. 321 inhabitants. In the same counties there were found ar.d 1 registered 7, 854 rote*. Thus the ratio of voters to the w' !e population would be ' one to three and twenty two hundredths The returns of the October election sot : delegate > Congress, *how there were polled in the counties not registered 1,693 votes, which, on the ratio above ascertained. wouli give for their population 1.451 inhabi'.ants, the vote and the population ' 1 being ab it one -eventh of that of the entire Territory, w ile eight ut the thirtyfour counties returned no votes at the j October election, and are left out of the estimate. Ti.is number of unregistered votes would have been entitled to at least nine delegates in the Convention. The total vote of the Territ -e for Congress in October as’, was 1!,687, and the ictal vote for Governor in January last was 13.420, from which at least 3,000 illegal votes should be deducted: but, considering the entire vote as legal, we shall then ' uave, upon I --a ra.io above ascertained, taking the October election as the basis, 37,4-JO, and taking the entire January vote as the basis, 42.945 as the whole population of the Territory. It would seem, alter making every allowance, that 45,0u0is as large * number as can possibly be cloimed by any one upon a- v basis of estimate With these facts before them, it is unacountable that tbe committee should refuse io consider the subject o; population. 7ney say that it is one of the u-ual subjects vs inquiry. Why, then, not consider it now? The report goes over the usual ground on the fact* known. It believe* with us teat the election of Januarv 4. 1858. was legal. Bat whether ordered to b* held by Secretary Ca-s, or recognized by the President and the majority of the select . committee, the vote a; that election was , a jus: vote, and expressive ot the will of . the people. The only difference between t the majority committee and the President I is that the former thought the vote came > t'j« late, and the latter that it ought not . to cvtne at all. Messrs Harris and A.drain bold that . we are under no obligation to admit Kan- | sag. Twenty-five hundred persons in , Kansas ask us to do it; ten thousand petii non us not to do it. The doctrine of the ; committee is, that the twenty-five hun- . dred be obeyed, and the ten thousend ■ slapped ia the face and told to ‘begone; ; '.hat Congress re’?gr. »es the doctrine of ; popular sovereignty, and therefore the s minority must rale. s It is even urged by some parties in . Congress that minorities ought to rule r and make constitutions. It will li>u» be seen the ground on ■ which Messrs. Harris and Adrian are opposed to 1 eeomptoaism, and claim for > tbe fraud a thorough investigation, such r as they have no: b«en able to get, but' . such as is more than sufficient to warrant nil ?ta‘.' rig-Ms men in oppoeng it.

In conclusion, the report expresses tne full conviction of the gentlemen whose names are appended to it, that this Lecompton constitution is neither acceptable nor satisfactory to any considerable number of the people of Kansas, much less to a majority of them; that it is not their act; that it neither speaks their sentiments nor embodies their will; that it is the offspring of fraud, corruption, and villiany; that the laws under which it was originated and the proceedings connected with its prosecution have been informal, irregnlar, and unjust; that the instrument bears upon its <> wn ,ace an d * n its own com P osl ' tion ample evidence of its base origin and deceitful pretensions; and that it would be hirh’v improper to admifKansas into the Union as a State under this constitution, and that such act would not only be unjust to the people of that Territory, but dangerous to the peace and welfare oi the whole country — States. Gov. Wiseon Irishmen. In response to an invitation to attend the cekbration of St. Patrick’s Day at Washington, Governor Wise wrote the committee the following letter: * • ktevHMOMDr Va., March 13, 1858. Gentlemen—l gratefully acknowledge voursofthe 10th, and regret that it will I not be in my power to be present with I the Irish cit z-ns at Washington and their i friend* at the approaching anniversary of < Ireland’s Pation Saint. I thank you for your appreciation of ; mv support of the principles of civil and ’ religious liberty and of the rights of adop- I ted citizens. If naturalization had done ; no more than to demonstrate the nobility ' of the race of Irishmen, that, though it ! mav not flourish under the dominion of I British monarchy, it finds a soil in the < 'land ot the free’ congenial to the devel- I opmentof trails of greatness which make America smile as sweetly for the future i as Ireland mourns over hergrandure of 1 the past, it would have done enough to forbid a departure from the patriotic pol- I icv of opening wide the door of an asylum I to the oppressed of every land In no t sphere, n wever high or humble, has the i Irish stock failed to il.ustrate its energy, i ;'.s intellect, its activity and endurance in i the encounter of American enterprise and progress. From Montgomery at Que- t bee, co»n tv ti>4 mattock and spade of i any canal or turnpike—on every battle- ( field, in the lorum, in the halls of legisla- r tion, and in the hut of the laboier, the hear: of the Irishman has beaten high,’t anl his head and his hand have done i their work well tor the home of his race I and the welfare of his adopted country. Here, too, he loses the only trails he i ought to leave behind hint when becomes 1 to a country of religious freedom, he loses | whatever bigotry be-el him at home— i Here be finds that the lion and the lamb , may l<ed< wa together in peace, and that Protestants and Catholics may be broth- i i ers in civil privileges, and be at peace in i V e pr.viieges of conscience. Thev mingle with each other and with the aative i st -ck of America, atid they help to make a crop in our country which cannot be ; . jrred. Above all, in Irishmen that •v : I I ve is u.eir heartfelt devotion to old Ireland herself. I give you — J ■>:.n g P..iipjt Curran, the advocate of 1798 ’He was upright, when honor was i rebel m; he was true, when integrity was tr-. -’.son; he stood by the accused and the . deemed, when to pity was to participate; and he was loyal to liberty, when even to name her tra> almost to die.’ Yours truly, Hexrt A. Wise. Duty of ths Dehocract.—The Mars’, a . Co //fflxruf makes the following sensible and practical suggestions as to the duty of the Democracy of Indiana in tbe present crisis: '3 e have s.rrivt-4 m a critical period in I our nation’s political history, and a critical period, too, in the Democratic partv,, and if we revere either, it becomes us ‘,o use the utmost watchfulness lest danger or dishonor come upon us. If K<n?as is more valuable than either, it may b-wise to s ir up strife and division bec*u-» -•< dir’rionitt measures of policy; if not, let milder means be used to remedy these efll*. " i Bat w: at»»»r may be the opinion of the Imfiana Democracy on the Kansas question, there is certainly but on* line of duty for them to pursue, and that is fidelity to the harmony and welfare of their own party, and unqualified opposition to everything that Lk*x* towards an alliance or compromise with the enemy. uur opposition to the Lecompton Consthu.iDU we have at ali times openlv declared, but it has been tar from our purpose to inculcate a spirit of division in our ranks, wriich might end in our partyoverthrow; on th* contrary, we believe, that whatever may be the issue i* the matter, the difficulty w.’l in the end adjust itself without any serious hurt to the nation or party, unless it be through the wanton sets ci those who are influenced rather by personal feeling and private interei’.s, than honesty or patriotism; and we father bel eve that the experience •.xug-.t us ia struggle will be foi a prestige in all future history. To the dem.ocrate of Indiana we would have this word of advice—rally around your standard bearers and prepare for the next contest; by the party you love, an I thtcouc'.ry you revere, suffer no seductive arts or intrigue to shake your fidelity to her cause, and st the next contest you wil. achieve such a victor that the enemy will never rally again, till they ral ley under new colors.

Congressional News. Washington, April, 1. Senate. —Business unimportant. TheArrnv bill was debated at great length, and finally passed—yeas 41, n The Kansas bill as amended by the House was brought up. Mr Green moved that the amendment be disagreed to. The Senate having previously reso.vetl to adjourn till monday, rescined the resolution, and will vote on the bill to-mor-row. Adjourned. Hocsb.—Mr NibNck, of Indiana, favored the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution. Mr. Ward, of New York, expressed similar views. Mr. Groesbeck, of Ohio, said he would not vote for the Senate bill. He maintained that the Constitution, under the its ' own provisions, could not be changed till 1864 without a revolution. The instru- : ment does not express the popular will of the oeople. Congress should now authorize proceedings toward the formation of a proper Constitution. Mr. Marshal, of Illinois, looked upon those who framed the Lecompton Constitution as conspirators. He would never vote to sanction such a fraud and gross outrage upon the rights of the people He condemned the attempts to ostracise and brand as traitors and rebels these who will not bow their knee to power and lick the hand raised to whip them into submission. He bad a higher respect for the President, but he was not a Spaniel. He would speak and act as a representative of a free people should; as one who owes nothing to the President or his Cabinet. Mr. Husrhes, of Indiana,—‘Who has made attemps to read men out of the ' Democratic party?’ Mr. Marshall—lt is done notoriously by the present Administration, and it is , known throughout the country that the term of office depends entirely upon whether a man can compel his conscience and judgement to sanction this thing or nut. Mr. Hughes—’Have you ever been excluded trom a Democratic caucus?’ Mr. Marshall —‘It so happens that a Congressional caucus has no power to read , men out of the party.’ Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio —‘Does the gentleman from HL. know how soon after tomorrow he will be excluded from the Democratic caucus?’ Mr. Marshall—That does not disturb , me in any particular. A man is a good ’ Democrat who votes for the benefit ot tl.e , partv. Is it not known that the Union neswp?per forgets the Know Nothings and Black Republicans, and descends to the sewer for filth and defamation to heap on Democrats as good as any others in the country, stigmatizing them as traitors , and rebels. Mr. Marshall spoke of Administrative presses both litre and elsewhere as dirty puppies, strewing forth their fil h;they ■ must be muzzled. (Laughter) He said there were millions of men who considered the Lecompton movement not only infamous but damnable. Mr. Hughes defended bit poli'ical record. against which, he said, Marshall land English had thrown out insinuations. He had simply to say that the manor peasant, leader or follower, who imputed io him in the p»st a-'j sympathy with the Free State or Abolition party, was a libeler. The geriltman from Illinois, Mr. Marshall had made a rabbling speech peculiarly bitter in character, and lower than than the usual standard of Congressional debates. Mr. Hughes, after alluding co to tbe dialogue with Mr. Marshall about flies, said that the Black Republican pa>ty was the bitterest substance of poliitcal chemistry ever produced, (laughter) Mr Letcher defended the majority of the Kansas select committee from the charge that they determined to shrink from investigation. Mr. Wai; >n opposed the extension of slavery and L.comp'.on. Mr. Stephens said that one o’clock having arrived, moved to take up the Senate Kansas bill. The bill was read once. Mr. Giddings objected to tbe second reading under the rule. The question occurred, ‘Shall the bill be rejecied?’ Mr. Stephens demanded the yeas and I nays. The vote stood; Yeas 90, nays 137. The bill was then read the second time Mr. Stephens would not discuss the bill having understood a substitute was to be submitted. He gave way to Mr. Montgomery, who offered the Crittenden substitute as amended by the anti-Lecomp-ton Democratic Conference, proposing to admit Kansas into the Union and refer , the Lecompton Constitution to a vote of ; the people. In the event of a rejection, i a Contention is to be called ’.o form a new ; Constitution; to be allowed one Representative in the House of Representatives tiii the next Federal census is taken, j Mr. Montgomery said he had no re i marks to make. The substitute was its r best interpreter; he had furnished copies to members and ready to supply others. ’ Mr Quitman offered asubstitute; which t* tr.e same as the Senate bill, with the omission of the declaration clause that t tr.e people have ata]] times to alter or r amena ineir Constitution in such a m Rn . ner as they may think proper, <fcc. Humphrey Marshall wished to amend * the original Senate bill, by striking out i’ C !“ Se . P r °P°^ d to b« omi to,] I. by !r. Quitman'* substitute.

Mr. Stephens refused to give c " “ffrs for that purpose, and demanded th. Me vious question. ‘"’ieat Mr. Marshall wanted Mr. Step) len , e rint fusai to be borne in mind, and entered ' t,le the record. ’’’arisl The question or.
