$ti.S,000 per annum nt l-!st, hence the struggle for it. Great fraud is also practiced under the law regulating it, which adds to the I rofits not a little. '- ' A spirited debate took place in the Senate yesterday upon a resolution introduced fccmetime since by Mr. Wilson, of Mass., calling on the president of the United States for nil the information in his possession in respect to the disturbances in Kansas, effecting the freedom of elections fcc. A Southern man moved to indefinitely postpone it, contend ing that tbe Special Message of the President contained all that he knew in regard to it. Mr. I'essenden sail the North desired to act upon the most authentic information, idstead of taking tke newspaper accounts, as reported by persons unknown to members, but if no better information could be had, they must take that which they could get, and forru their opinions in regard to it. Mr. Gayer, of Missouri, contended that all the difficulties in Kansas had originated in the fact of the Yankees sending armed men thsre to control th elections. No deHnito action was had on tho resolution. If tho President and his friends refuse the Senate such informa'iou as may be in possession of the department, Senators will be excused if they adopt as true, the uncontradicted reports published in the newspapers. That it is bad , enough no one doubts, and should receive the early and promi't attention of Congress. The proclamation of the President is evidently designed to place the Free-State men in a wrong position in the contest. He assumes that the legislation of the Border ruffians is the h'gal and true legislation of the Territory, and that all who oppose the laws enacted nt Shawnco Mission, are traitors against the government; and intimates that they will bo treated accordingly. This is assuming a high prerogative. It has hereir'" been thought that the Judiciary de partment of the government was instituted - tu decide the equality ot liw wnere contests might arise, and in this instance there must be a doubt at least in the minds of all unprejudiced men. That the first election was carried by illegal voters is not denied; and the appology for it is that the New England States had sent voters to Kansas to control the election hence the Missourians were justified in going there in armod mobs for the purpose of preventing the New England men rom making Kansas a free State. The fact charged is not denied; but is attempted to be justified. The place of holding the first session of the legislature was fixed br the legal authority, pointed out in the Kansas bill. But this illegal legislature determined t remove it to another place, and did so. Suppose such a case as this. The law declares that the sessions of the Circuit Court for our county, shall bo held at Centreville. Parties are summoned to appear at the Court House in that town. Suppose Judge Elliott should remove his Court to Abington, would ! judgments rendered in that Court bo binding j upon parties interested? We are not a lawyer, j but we think not. Hence we come to the conclusion that an illegally elected legislature, holding its sessions at a place unknown to the law, and in direct opposition to the law mak ing power, for the right to determine the place j of holding the legislature wa, conferred . ciusiveiy upon uov. iteeasr, couia not rass a : law binding upon the people of Kansas. 1 And ' we predict that even the power of the President cannot enforce those laws, illegally enacted, and of the most infamous character. ( Wo would not advise bloodshed or civl war, but if we were a citizen of Kansas, and were witnessing a conflict, we would feel inclined to act as we have heard that a J'riend of peace once acted, -when he taw a soldier pointing his gun towards the enemy. lie remarked, "Friend, I would not advise thee to shed tlie blood of thy fellow man, but if j thee wish as to do a personal injury to thine ! enemy, thee can do it by raising thy gun a lit- j tic higher, and a little to the right." j AllO WULI... AkUlIIM.il lUG7IIVU 1 - Ob.it IU subiect of discussion in the Senate Southern members take bat little part m the debate, 1 hey do not desire a war with England, as it would result in the annexation of Canada to the United States, and from which a half a dozen free States would soon be formed. The South is not now in favor of tht next wcr. The President's special message upon af- t fairs in Kansas has been referred to the Cora- j mittee of the whole House en tbe State of the Union where it will be discuwd without dav. Most of the standing Committees of the House are composed of nine members five ipuhlicans, three old liners, and one South Americas. - "H.
