You are already apprised that Congress adjourned oo Monday last, and was again convened to-day, by the Proclamation of the President. You are also apprised of the cause for this extra convocation of the Represenia'ivesof the people. What the result will be has to be determined by the future. What it should be no friend of Freedom iu Kansas should doubt. The sham democracy are en dtavoring to make capital out of the failure of the army appropriation bill, chargiag that the Republicans are responsible for this failure. The fact is, that the Republicans of the House huve passed the bill several times, over the combined opposition of every Southern man, j and the distinctive North Americans. How, are the Republicans reponsible for its failure j tl t n" It is charged that they placed upon the bill a proviso that is objectionable to the South, j A most sapient reason truly! Were northern men. the representatives of Freedom, instead of Slavery, sent here to legislate in such a way, as to please the South, alone? Have Northern men no right here? Why not disfranchise the North at once, if no law is to be pasi-ed utdess it jdeasis the South! The Republicans of the North, in the exercise of their constiiUiioiia! rights in obedience to the dic'iit'S of their own judgment the commiii -isof their constiiueuts, arid in the perh in hre id a high duly they owe their couaIm .m! ll e institutions of freedom have lee' . d tl.V 14, 00O,(i0O shall be Appropriated t Mi'tain the army, but none of this sum shall he used in enforcing the bogus and infaii. " laws of Kansas. Is there any injus-' tie-' in this? The Senate with its lartre maiori ty !' old liners, have declared several of those laws to be unconstitutional and illegal as a di.s-rnco - the ou- r" - - .... 0C lw-a " trtA 'inbs b;li arc in favc ror of wiping tiieMi nil out, yet they claim the right to use th. ntniy to enfoice those laws. We have i.o d.-poMlion to oppose even this vast and enormous appi epilation to sustain the array, ! ut we iil ntver consent that one cent of it ' ;.il be tied for the purpose of establishing .-!.-. very in Kansas, or upon any other soil now frit. !f the South will not submit to the reasonable request in on the part of the North h;t t1 fair.)- be d'sbandod. American voluntc i:. have heretofore been able to defend their country, and they can do it again, if occa. siroi should require, iu the form of a foreign f. i , r h despotism ef Slaver-. The 1'nsi leiit complains that if this bill d s not i ,-.ss, the American tlatr will be struck 1 . ' :.. all over the Cimtry. This were better, , .; should lloat over the niurdt red victims : iiiimin tyranny than to lead on the! is of slavery in crushing down tha friend of Ll OOiiO. c-f fre. lotu. But there is no reason why our fJag ?h. uld be lowered all we ask, is, that it "broad stripes t.nd bright stars" shall not be sullied in an inglorious attempt toex'eud Slavery. Nor shall they, while our voice cau prevent it. . The House to-day stood firmly by the pro- 1 viso, and passed the bill. It will be reported to the Senate to-morrow. They may strike ' out the proviso, and send the bill back to the , House. We trust the House will again insert ; i!, and stand by it. If after a fair trial, the President and tlve Senate will cot take the bill as tho immediate representatives of th people r 1 see proper to giva it to them, let Congress ! aojoura y-r, P.e.ei "vS'"; : r . v. ... . l. n : v .wion nntil the 4th of March next, it will r iiiiirn Vi w IVa aTniroriAn f Ita e,-n at i f n ti-n " f v i j J fc ' v wivvi va a k s-t v uiita hv aa terra, and Mr. Fremont can convene an extra , Session of the new Congress, and nationalize freedom, by declaring that the army shall be used alone to protect the righu of the whole" peopk. ; On the adjournment last Monday, we started home; bat just as the cars were leaving the depot, we learned that the President had issued lis Proclamation for an extra session to-day. 1 1 w as too lafe to get ear baggage from the Cos, and we went out to the Relay house,, lit- ir Baltimore, where we took the checks from our trunks, pnt them en board of the return train, and are here, to remain UEtil the end of our term, if necessary, to maintain the position the Republicans have so nobly assumed, and aid so far maintained. ; On Monday morning last, we had anether specimen of border ruffianism. Mr. McMullen ' of Virginia, and General Granger, ef New j York, while riding to tha capitd in aa omni- j bus, got ito a dispute about politics, when McMullen seized and struek Granger in the eye. It it reported that McMullen said the South would standby the constitution, speaking ef the army bill and Kaasae proviso. Mr. O. anger simply replied that if they did not. a Republican President would make them. when McMullen maid he would not permit a

younger man to this address him. Granger The Bully Admonisheth his Brethren, replied "I waive my age."

morning, it was informed that the Senate had to disregard the wholesome doctrine of "Free tricken out of the Army bill the Kansas fro Agency" as taught by His Honor, Judge Per viso, and requested the concurrence of the kius, for one day. (S.lcmn stillness.) He House thereto. The Hou.g refused to concur averred that he did not "feign a spasm beby a vote of 96 to 94.

The Senate again insisted, but that it was necessary, proper an 1 expedi ; and st-iit the bill back to the House.

It was then moved that the Hous ADHERE, which was carried by a vote of 97 to 93, and if the Senate ADHERE, the bill is lost. What it will do is uncertain let them take their course. 11. Democracy, the same North and South. Two weeks ago, Laf. Develin made a speech at Washington, in this county, in which he took the broad ground that the Buck-African Democracy in the North, were just as much opposed to Slavery and its extension into our Territories, as the "Black Republicans" are. Warming up with the hugeness of his subject, (having, a la Willard, divested himself of his clothing, reminding one of a person dressed in the Georgia costume.) ha defied any one within the sound of his voice, "to produce a Democratic paper. North or South, that advocated the ex:ension of Slavfrv into

our Territories." Scarcely had his words ' R,lJ otIu rs -"lua'!y a! worthy and well qualifound vent between Lis lips, when Mr. P. bed' an1 'vnjrti' 0,16 "ponlaneous gush Wiggins landed him the Charleston Cour,ero "timent!" (Tremed.nis cheers.)

Territory are to be slaughtered and robbed of, their properly. Hundreds of armed men from the South are flocking into our territory, to drive us from our homes and to murder every one who refuses to obey their orders. Will the government at Washington fail to give us that protection to which a free people are entitled? Death would be preferable to the continuation of the bloody administration of Kansas territory. We ask equal privileges and nothing more —when our homes are invaded, our lives threatened, our fiends all murdered, our wives insulted. What course must we take? If the government will not protect us. and we receive no other assistance,. we will sell our lives as dearly as possible.— I have not time to give you all the facts relative to the affairs in our territory I was born and educated in a slave State, and am sure that the conservative men in the South would promptly refuse to endorse the cruel action of the law breakers in Kansas. I wish to see a majority of the actual citizens of this territory decide at the ballot-box, whether it be a slave or a free State, and not force men to leave the territory at the point of the bayonet just before tle election. We are determined, inasmuch as the war has been brought upon us.
