RICHMOND PALLADIUM.

Tttuisday Morninx, April 17, isae. Editorial Correspondence. WashiSgtoit, April 12th, 1856. The springing grass, the b adding trees, and blooming Sowers, indicate that spring h&a It ft the : lap of winter, and is cow with ns in ail her Ioreli' ' ne si. The grounds which surround the capitol are auming a rich and beaatifal verdure, and daily crowded with visitors, and especially with happy chiidrea joyous in the bright sunshsue of spring This day is the anniversary ef the birth of Henry Clay, aDd it is to be appropriate! celebrated at the Slash Cottage in Hanover county, Virginia, the memorable place of hi birth. A large "amber of the distinguished members of the Senate and House hare gone down to participate in the celebration. The venerable Cass the eloquent j Crittenden, and other of the illustrious men who served with him in the eooncils of the nation, will be there to testify in behalf of his great patriotism j Lis giant mind, and unsurpassed eloquence. This patriotic ovation will not be in vain. It will teach j that though Henry Clay is dead, he still lives, and will ever live in the "hearts of his countrymen ; ' and that the "Mill boy of the Slashes," was the " noblest Roman ef them alL The 1 Tonse, for the past week has been engaged upon the DeSciency Bill, which is designed to supply money to the different departments which have had to overdraw the amount of the regular ap protiriationa. Whilst it was in committee of the j whole, with unrestricted debate, every conceiva-i ble question was diacusseJ, without the slightest ! refiir.'ucvs to the provisions of the bill; but under the five minutes rnle of restricting debate, the re marks made are designed to be appropriate to the . provi.-ion before the House. The provision which has elicited the most debate, is that which appropriates 300,000, to continue the Water-works for ' Washington city. JL similar sain was nppropriated last year, and it is supposed that before the ' wotk 13 complete 1 it will require millions of mo- j ney instead of thousands. To abandon it now, would be to throw away what has already been i e.vj tfiikd, and to continue it will be an expend!-. ture manifestly unjust to other portions of the i Union. True, the government is by far the largest property holder here, and should contribute liber- j hily to protect it from fm ; but other holders of) property should be willing to contribute a share of the in, ii eiiie expense which will be necessary to corrpli-te the work. They will be mutually bene-! fitted by it, and should be taxed their full share. ; Tin great speech of the week, has been that of' Mr. Howard of New Tork, upon the Kansas ques- J lion. Its facta, its truths, und logical conclusions. have never been excelled in the Senate of the Uni- j ted Sta!t;3. It ought to be iu the hands of every va r in the land. It was conwirvative. and vet li.-.a,. It presented but one issue, and that is op- j p kijn to the extension of slavery. The South j Las demanded this sole Nsue in the coming presi-1 dentin! canvas., and nobly did Mr. Seward take np j ti:o p-lote, and pledge tho North for the contest Ninc-terithkof tho people of the North, were they ; to net upon their convictions of riht, would stand by him in this contest; yet the modern democracy, tho mere partizans of the President and his party, Let thus ebey the ii junctions of their own honest convictions of right and justice. We hope the Republican associations will spread this ppeecb all oier our State, place it ia the hands of every voter, atd it will break down, if any thing will, the strong prejudices af partizans, and induce them to defend the interests of freedom npainet the encroachments of slavery. S ime days since, (Jen. Cass, at the request of j Cel. J. II. Lane, one of the Senators eleet from ! Km?.:.:, presented thu memorial of the members' of the Free State Legislature of Kansas, asking : ao:!..fion into tne union, upon a motion :o print this memorial, a most interesting debate wa had. The Southern member.'1, and Mr. Douglas contending that the memorial emanated from men wlo arc iu a state of rebellion agniuat the laws of tie country They tried to sustain this position by declaring that the members of the legislature had been elected at a time unknown to the liw, and npon an agreement entered into among themselves to thus violate the law. If this is rebellion, had we been iu Kansas, we would kave been a rebel. The facts, as every one knows, were simply these: An Klection was ordered by the ( Jovcrnor. On that day larjre bodies of armed i:ien, entered the territory of Kaunas, and drove the bor.a fide citizens of that territory from the po'.'.- took charge of the ballot boxes, aud elected mm, many of whom were at that time citizens i f Mii- oiiri. The people of Kau.-as being tLus prevented from selecting their own rulers, peace- ' uhly dotenuiucd to hold another election, and at all haz.irds maintain their rights. They did bold an election, aud were, in a great measure, undisturbed; und these men, thus elected, are charged with being rebels and traitors to their country. Suppose on the second Tuesday of October. ' next, au army of men from Ohio should visit every j election precinct io Wayne county, and drive the ' citlroca from the polls, but on the third Tuesday of the same month, the people ef Wayne county should meet and bold an election, would they be traitors? Rather would not they who iuvade the county, and in violation of law prevented aa election being held, be more justly entitled to the epithet of irators? We thinkthey woald.'and it seems to nsiuch would bo the conclusion of every honest roau ia the land. I regret te say that Geo. G. Dunn, from continued ill health, has returned home. Mr. Barbour, from the Indianapolis district, and Mr. English from the second district have also returned to their homes for a few days. II. rrof. Larrak and lUt Scbl Libraries. Mach has been said and writ&an about the remaikalle success ef Prof. Lakbasks in accumulai'ng grease in his famous purchase of Books for the School Librirks cf Indiana. We find the followirg in the Wabash Courier, which throws sou'C light upon fair business transactioB: "We believe tke truth to be about this, and we hvc it from the most reliable men in Cincinr.ati: Larrabte received the books throngh the ierb 's at Cincinnati They were billed to them at rrvmteen per cent, less than they were billed to the State. Larrabee received them at Harper's price?; hence he received in the transaction something ar 20.000. That he received near this amouuf, we think csnnot be denied. A speculation of this kind, is not to be met with every day, and we are not at all surprised that the Prof U anxious to ter re the people of Indiana in the same way again by being their Superintendent of Common Schools! We opine that the proSu of the State Sentinel, would not a2ord him the r.eans of further improvirg his 5,000 acres cf land building $5,000 houses, and, therefore, he needs the Saperiateadent s office ! Will the people again give it to him, so that be can feather his nest, by again fleecing then oat of another $20,000! Xo wonder that the Profossor's 'manner"' at Cambridge is spoken of aa "peculiar and pleasing."

Mr. Wakeman, arriving by the evening train of cars. facetiously remarked upon the speed with which he had been expressed through from Nor walk, read ancient documents, showing .i. :.: i : . i . i e : . me position imuerio occupieu uy pmmiueiu slave-holders and citizens of : slave states with regard to the institution of Slavery, and sub-1 aequemlr reviewed a recent speech delivered i ia xVew' Hampshire by Col. Orr, of South ; Carolina. The length of time assigned the ! speaker rendered his effort somewhat hurried. 1 Both addresses were attentively listened to by j a large audience composed of all parties, the ; interest of the occasion being materially added ; to by some excellent patriotic music from the j Choir of the Church. These gentlemen, in j connection wjth Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire. ! lectured in New ilaven last evening. j t m t I Juliaa at Winchester. The Randolph Journal, says that Geo. W. Julian made a speech recently at Winchester, quite to the editor's satisfaction and those who listened to him, and he concluded it "by referring to an article in the Palladium personal to himself, in which ha is charged as being assistant tditor, Jie., of the Jeffersonian," all of which he denied in toto: no connexion, either directly or indirectly with that fcheet never had written a line or indicted one for it, Ac. This is not quite as strong a j denial from him, as we saw iu a letter a few days ago, he says, in addition to the above, that he don't knew who tartlet editorials for the Jeffertonian, and don't care It is very eay work to make a "man of straw" for the purpose of demolishing it and George has succeeded admirably in this instance. We did not charge him with being "assistant editor of the Jeif." Bjiug the law-partner of his sap-ient brother Is3ic. we thought it not improbable, (taking his frequent attempts- to disorganize and distract the pirty wuh which he pretended to act, into considera'ion,) that he occasionally assisted that darling brother "by his counsel and advice, in his manufacture of gabble for the columns of our neighbor's paper," and we said so. Another thing, j re could not help believing that the same mind diteeted the simultaneous attack in the Era and Jeff, en Ju Jgo Morton. Gdorge was the author of the first, anl his "advice and counsel" evidently aided the second. It may be, as our friend of the Journal says, that George is a good Republican, and can be relied on in the "great issue." It depends altogether on the conduct of Mr. Julian himself, whether he is "treated with the least courtesy" in future. If he shall treat others, who are as reliable as the Journal thinks he is on the great issue of the non-ex;ension ot slavery, with the least courtesy, then, and not till then can he expect to have the golden rule applied to bis case. There is considerable human nature left in most of mankindthe majority are not any more christian-like than George or the editor of the Journal and when a buffett is given, another is sure to be j returned. The silver rule is the predomina- , , , ,. i . i . ,,' ting principle: to "do as we are done unto. , r V . , ; Whenever George is disposed to act like a , man of sense, and cease denouncing those , who are laboring to effect the same great object he says he is aiming at, then we. too, will . - . ,. , , . ... icr i uis.vwu mj treat uuu as ui.iu, 9 a 1 Republican, as one hating the success of the cause at heart."

A letter from bun to Gen. Robinson, Governor of j the State of Kansas, has been published in the , "Boston Atlas," from which we infer that his sympathies are with the free State party. ; The following is the body of the letter as tel-1 egraphed to the New York papers. The letter is dated New York, March 17 : j "The Banks ballotting in the House, and your movements in Kansas, had naturally carried my mind back to our one hundred and forty odd ballots iu California, and your letter came seasonably and filly to complete the connection.

"I had been waiting to see what shape the Kansas question would take in Congress, thai I might be enabled to give you some views in relation to the probable result. Nothing yet has been accomplished, but I am satisfied that in the end Congress will take efficient measures to lay before the American people the exact truths concerning your affairs Neither you nor I can have any doubt what verdict the people will pronounce upon a truthful exposition. "It is to be feared, from the proclamation of the President, that he intends to recognize the usurpation in Kansas as the legitimate government, and that the sedition law, the test oath, and the means taken to expel its peopie as aliens, will a'l, directly or indirectly, ' be supported by the army of the United ; Su'.es. ; "Your position will undoubtedly be difficult, ; but you know I have great confidence in your ; firmness and prudence.
