only be preserved by tho presence of the Federal troop 3. It becomes tho opposition, to bo cautious how they charge upon us improper molives in opposing the Lecompton Constitution. If they have any logic sufficiently acute to show us any inconsistency -in our position, wo will gladly listen to it; until they do this, we leave it without fear, tc tho judgment of a sober, thinking people, whether we are not standing faithful to the pledges of the Democratic party, declared in tho Kansas-Nebraska bill, in the Cincinnati platform, and in all tho speech
es of our leaders during the campaign of
56.
Kansas Once More. Congress has been, for some day past, in a "sea of excitement" on this "vexed question." The friends of either policy are striving with most commendable zeal to win, and, 3 yet, it is all uncertain as to which belongs the "balance of power." The friends of Lecompton may havo the heaviest patronage, but in point of energy, and individual strength, tho question nuy wflll be disputed. Dougla3, "a host in himself," is at the
helm of the opposito party, and unpropitious, indeed, must be the winds and waves which he nrill not successfully out-ride. The Lecompton Constitution has arrived at Washington, and the President has sent it to Congress, accompanied by a message of considerable length. Ha sets up tho same positions, substantially, that he did in a previous message. His strong point of argument is, that in as much as the people of Kansas suffered tho election of June last to go by default, they cannot now come in aud claim any rights under that default, and tfwreby tako advantage of their own wrong. This we readily grant, but if, as has been represented by the chief executive of that territory, a portion of the peo
ple were legally debarred from exercising the right of suffrage, on that occasion, it
puts a very different coloring on tho matter with the premises thu3 altered, th conclusions mi:3t be altered also. And
even if they did suffer tho eleciion to go
by default, as declared by the President,
they have an undoubted right to enter their
protests against that conventional body tran
scending the authority delegated to them by
their constituents, which they did in tram .irjcr, and not sulmlitivg the Constitution.
The President quotes largely from Gov.
Walter's State papars, to jshow the revolu
tionary condition of Kansas during his (Walker's) administration, and hi3 lan
guage would S3cm to intimate, if not a co
alition, at least encouragement on the part
of the opponents of Lecompton to that trea
sonable faction in Kansas, called the To-
petaites. If this ia tho correct construe
lion to put upon the President's language
we aro compelled to utter our unqualified
protest against it.
The outrages committed, and rebellious
spirit manifested, by that Jawlesss party, have loner been a matter of serious lament
and none-have more earnestly desired the
uttp.r extermination of tho "Jlni Lane
Gang" than this same Douglas party; bu if it now happens that we meet on the com mon ground of opposition to the Lecomp
ten fraud, it argues ;io sympathy wltu them !
in anything beyond this. Is it not true, i moreover, that all the law-abiding citizens in Kansas, of whatever party, who have opposed, from the first, every measure of the Topeka faction, are now bitterly opposed to the Lecompton Constitution? And yet, with all our differences, we profess unabated confidence in the integrity rnd patriotism of our Executive. Far be it from us to give assent to the mendacious charges heaped upon him by a Republican
pre33;on the contrary, we believe he acts from no other motive than a desire for the
best interests of his country. H has ex
pressed a wish, in a previous raeysage, that
in the admission of future territory the con
atitution should be regularly submitted to
the voice of the people for ratification, pre rious to their becoming a State; but, it cer
tajnly is a remarkable error in judgment to suppose, that by forcing a constitution,
framed in fraud, upon a people, who enrn
jestljr protest against it, will allay agitation.
-and localize, and in a measure settle the difficulties that are now Bhaking our Union
to its center.
It is true, the people of Kansas may
have their remedy to speedily and peacea
bly relieve themselves at the ballot-box, of Ihe wrong imposed upon them; but is it not rather the part of wisdom to suppose thai they will act, as injured men have acted If ater g9 of t?ie world, on the im-
. p;s of lit ttitf?Hi1 Though we may , not b gifted wit). t prophetic afflatus, . yet we predict, that, U KanSa if admitted , under the Lecompton Constitution, there irjU be difficulties in that territory of which
Washington, Jan. 31. The Lecompton Constitution, which ar
rived last night, will bo sent to Congress
to-morrow. The President has received a
tatter from Goy. Denver, declaring that if
the Lecompt.il Constitution h forced on
Kansas, civil war is inevitable. Governor Wise, it is eaid, has also writ
ton a letter, strongly protesting against the
measure. The moderato men of tho South are bo ginning to b9 alarmed.
A Southern member of Congress will wait upon the President to-morrow morning to nuke a formal remonstrance against
the Lecomp-on Constitution, and to warn
him that its passage will destroy the Dem
ocratic party.
Mr. Buchanan, however, still persists in
his infatuation. He declared to-day that the Lecompton Constitution must go thro'
tions, to-day, agreed upon a report, to ba
presented on 'Monday, sustaining, general
ly, the President's Central America message," believing with him that Paulding
wentboyond the legitimate limits in arrestidg filibusters on Nicaragua soil, and recommended an amendment to the Neutrali
ty laws, so as to hold as prisoners for tri
al, all offenders captured in the prosecu
tion ot their hostile plans against nations
with which we are at peace.
General Clarkson, Post-master at Leav
enworth city, was expected to-night with the Lecompton Constitution.
It is estimated at the Treasury that by
the end of next week treasury notes to the amount of three million dollar of all denominations will have been issued.
Army and Navy warrants to the amount
of two millions and a.half have accumula ted and will be met by thsse issues. Destructive Fire. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 1. A wholo square of buildings was destroy
ed by fire at Rome, on Friday last. Loss

New Orleans, Feb. 1. On Sunday morning thero occurred a
large fire, consuming the magazine, market and the adjacent points. Loss over 850,-
000. Another fire took place this morning in Canoe street. Loss covered by insurance. Both fires are supposed to be the work of incendiaries.
Consrress.
Ruffiaiiisui in Congress. Washington, Feb. 6. House. Tho House wa3 in session all
night, mainly engaged in taking tho yoas
and nays on motions to adjourn, eating,
smoking, sleeping, etc.
At about half-past one, a serious affray
occurred, which is thus narrated by a wit
ness:
Mr. Grow objected to Mr. Quitman's
making any remarks.
Mr. Kent said, "If you are going to ob
ject, you must return to your owu side of
tho House.'
Mr. Grow responded, "This is a free hall.
and every man has a right to bo where he
please3.
ünr. iveiti tuen came up to air. urow,
and said, "I want to know what you mean
by such an answer as that.
Mr. Grow replied, "I mean just what 1 . in i .
sav uii3 is a nee nan. ana a man r.a3 a
......
right tobe where ho pleases.
Mr. Keitt taking Mr. Lrrow Iiy the throat
saU: "I will let you know that you aro a d d Black Republican puppy!"
Mr. Grow knocked up his hand, saying: "I shall occupy such place in this hall a3
I please, and no nigger-driver shall crack
hi3 whip over mo. Mr. Keitt again grabbed Mr. Grow by the throat, and Mr. Grow knocked his hand off a second time. Mr. Keitt coming at him again Mr. Grow knocked him down. The reporter adds; "The respective friends of both parties rushed to the rescue, various members on each sido engaged
in tho ujiht, which took place in the area
fronting the clerk's desk." Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, was con
spicuous among the Republicans, dealing
heavy blows.
The Speaker loudly and imperatively de
manded order, and called on the sergeant
at-arms to interfere. That functionary,
carrying his mace of office, together with
his assistants, hurried to tho scene, and
crowded into the thickest ot the light, in
which at least a dozen members were en
gaged.
Some minute elapsed before this fearful
contest was quieted. Further difficulties are apprehended. -----
Washington Items. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Dispatches have been received at the
War Department from Col. Johnston, da-
ted Nov. 13th, which confirm previous reports of the excessive suffering and great loss of draught animals by snow storms,
cold and starvation. A sufficient number of oxen, though poor, have been saved to
supply beef for six days m the week, for seven months; also, flour and small rations.
The storm dealt roughly with Col. Cook's
command. He lost half of his horses, be-
sides a number of mules. Further advance
towards Salt Lake City cannot be made without a new supply of such animals, (to procure which Capt. Marcy has been dispatched to New Mexico,) when the army, with a volunteer force two thousand strong will resume their march as soon as the grass on the mountains is sufficient to sustain the horses and mules. Two volunteer companies have been mustered into the service for nine months,
and it is expected that in a few days two more will be mustered in. The troops have born the dangers and
privations of the march with patience and cheerfulness, and are in fine health though
some of the regiments are still suffering
from frost-bite. Another letter from an officer in the army says the Mormons are afraid of mount-
ed men. They are a set of cowards, like all assassins and robbers, and he fears their
leaders and those who have claims in the
Valley will run away, inducing their delu-
ded followers to destroy their property,
lest it may benefit the army.
The widow of the late Commodore Car-
sin was dangerously burned at Georgetown yesterday.
Synopsis of the President's Kansas Message. Tho President's message occupies lour columns in type, and was read in congress
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It says that
delusion prevails as to the condition of par
ties in Kansas: recapitulates the history of
past affairs; pronounces the lopeka gov
ernment an usurpation, and says that it is
impossible that any people could hav pro ceeded with more regularity in the forma
tion of the Lecompton Constitution, than
the people of Kansas havo done. The Convention of last June was a propitious
movement to settle the difficulties, but the
Topeka-ites, suffered the election to go by
default. Hence, they had no right to complain. Tho Lftcompton Convention was
legally constituted and invested with power to frame a Constitution, which it did, and submitted the question to tho people whether Kansas should bo a free or slave State. Tho President believes that under tho organic act, tho Convention wa3 bound
to submit this all important question to the people. They did so, and again the To-
peka-ites defaulted. At tho election of
officeis, January 4th, a wiser spirit pre
vailed, and tho vote was larger. The people of. Kansas have, therefore, in strict
conformity with the organic act, framed a
Constitution and State Government, sub
mitted tho slavery question to the people,
elected officeis, and now ask admission in
to tho Union under this Constitution. The
President is deciJedly in favor of its ad
mission, and thus terminating the Kansas
question by localizing the distracting
influences. As a question of expediency.
i ill
even, Kansas snouiu oe admitted, in as
much as it would restore quiet to tho Un
ion, and prosperity to the Territory and to
the peoplo of Kansas, ihe only practical
i nr . . 1 1 .
uinerenco oeiween aurawsion anu rejection is, whether they can morespeedilv change
their pre33iit U-jns'.itutum or frame
a second, to be submitted to Congress. It
should never be forgotten that, in propor tion to the insignificance of the slave ques
tion, as effecting the few thousand inhabitants of Kansas, the fourteen slave States will feel the rejection of the Constitution keenly. Kansas once admitted, the excitement becomes localized and cools, and the troops can be withdrawn. The following is tho concluding portion of the message: "Every , patriot in the country had indulged the hope that the Kanfas-Nebraska act would put a final end to slavery agita-
I tion -hI least in Congress which had con
vulsed thVco2.ntry and endangered the UnTKi. inrn?rd great fundamental
engrossed an unduo proportion of the pub
lic attention, and have sadly atiected tho
friendly relations of the peoplo of the States with oi.e another, and alarmed the fears of patriots for tha safety of the Union. Kansas once admitted, the excitement bocomes localized, and will soon die away for
want of outside aliment. Then every dif-j ficulty can be settled at tho ballot box j besides, (and this is no trilling considera-j tion,)tho Government will be enabled to withdraw the troops from Kansas and to supply them in service much needed. They have been kept i . Kansas at tho earnest importunity of Governor Walker, to maintain tho existence of the territorial government and secure the execution of tho laws. He considered that there are at least 2,000 regular troops acting under the command of Gen. Harney. Acting upon reliable information I have been obliged, in some degree, to interfere with the expedition to Utah, in order to k:ep down the rebellion in Kansas. It has involved vory heavy expense to the government. Kansas onco admitted, it is believed that there will no longer bo occasion there for tho troops of the United States. I nave thus
far performed my duty on this important
sibility to my country. Mr public life will
terminale wiinin a Drier niioa, ana I have
no other object of earthly ambiiioi than to leavo my country in a peaceful an I prosperous condition, and live in the affections
and respect of my countrymen. Dark and ominous clouds are now im pending over tho Union. I conscientious

they are not as yet informed ol the greater portion of them. The official journal of Saturday night contains the names of fortv-
sis other townships, hkherto unnamed not

of an other seventy: and it is expected that thne hundred will be found: but of the disaster an alarming ignorancejis professed bv such terras a9 these, "Many victims not ail

more nearly approximate to the trutr. than

fearful number to think of, to which, wo add the number as yet nuknown, we shall
not be very much startled at the medium

erect temporary wooden buildings for the survivors. Men are employed, too, in

sufferers will bo temporarily provided for.
From Washington. The Ohio contested election case of Valandingham against Campbell eicites spe
cial attention from ;ho question involved.
If netrroes be entitled to vote, then there
may be a show of right in Caitipbeil to retain his seat; but as the majority of the
Commute on Elections hold to ihe contra
ry, a3 laid down in the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, tho certainty is that they will report against him, and in favor of Vallanding-
ham. In any event, the case, when bro't
before the House, will elicit an animated
debate on the question of Affrican suffrage.
The organic act of the Territory ot Uuh
provides, in its first clause, that it may bs divided in lh discretion of Congress, and
that any part or parts may be joined to the
surrounding Stales or Teuiiones. At first it W3S thought advisable to divide thU Territory under the law, and to annex
portions of it to California; but this plan
has been abandoned; as it would only serve
at this timoto complicate an already tan
gled and knotty affair. Hon. John M. Bernheisel will not be un
seated. In law, if eTery citizen in Utah
wereinrebellion.it would not affect his right. Such, I believe is the conclusion reached. The inaugural andress of Gov. Packer has been a death blow to the Lecompton
contrivance, which, after being toppled
over by the masterly effort ofJude Douglas, was once more got upon its legs and began to gain strength to totter along. "When thou art buying a horse or choosing a wife," says tho Tuscan proverb, "shut thine eyes and commend thyself to God." Is that what is called trusting in Providence?"

States beagMn estranged from each other
with more than their former bitterness; this will arise from a cause, so far as the interests of Kansas aro concerned, more
trifling and insignificant than has ever stirred tho elemen's of a great peoplo into commotion. To the people of Kansas, the
the only practical difference between the
admission or rejection depends solely upon
the fact whether they can themselves' more
speedily change their present Uostitution, if it does not accord with the will of the
majority, or frame a second Constitution, to be submitted to Congress hereafter. Even if this were a question of mere expediency, and not of right, the small difference of time, one way or the other, is not
ofths least importance when contrasted with the evils which must nece;arially result to the whole country firm the rivalry of slavery agitation. In considering this question it should never bo forgotten tha in proportion to its insignificance, 1st the decision be'what it may; so far as it may
effect a few thousand inhabitants of Kan
sas, who have from the beginning resisted
the Constitution and laws. For this very reason tlie rejection of the Constitution
will be so mucn tho more keenly felt by the
people of 14 States whose slavery is reo ognized under the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. Again, the speedy admission
of Kansas into the Union would restore
peace and quiet to the whole country. !! rr ' . rr ?a I
