THE XEWS.
The tariff question has now lairly landed in
the Congressional Committee of N ays and ->leans.
HON. HENRY M. PHILLIPS, of this State, is actively
engaged in pushing forwaid a bill lor the le'.ision
of the tariff. The whole Democratic delegation
front Pennsylvania, is a unit in tavor 01 amending
the low and inefficient tariff established by the Dp
position Congress of 1857. MR. PHILLIPS is a Demo
crat and one of the candidates for Congress who was
last fall strickeu down by the out-cry against him
on the tariff question. Our own member, -Mr.
REILLY, is also active in his advocacy of an increase
of duties so as to bring a larger revenue into the
Treasury. The Black Republican members are re
markably quiet on this subject. They are great
sticklers for a tariff just before the election comes
off, but when it becomes necessary to take action in
Congress, on that subject, they are non est inven
tus.
A street fight occurred in Harrisburg, a few
days ago, between J. M. CHURCH, member ot tbe
Legislature from Philadelphia, and C. M. DON.NAVAS,
of the same city, who appeared as a contestant ot
MR. CHURCH'S seat. It appears that the latter gen
tleman had used some language in addressing 'he
House, which offended MR. DO.\>AVAN, who at once
determined to immortalize himself a la English an<t
Montgomery. What a shame that our dignified le
gislators and would-be legislators cannot refrain from
disgracing themselves in such boyish squabbles as
these I They ought to go back to marbles and their
mammas, for a few years!
The Indian appropriation bill has passed the
Lower House of Congress, with a reduction ol the

KANSAS AND THE PRESIDENT.
Our readers will remember that when the j
"anti-Lecompton" fever was at its height, and ,
when the President was reviled and stigmatized
as a tyrant plotting to enslave the people of
Kansas, we frequently expressed our conviction
that there was not the slightest foundation, or
justification, lor the course pursued by the men
who thus reviled and stigmatized him. We
assured our Democratic friends that time would
prove us correct in that conclusion, and now,
since the fog has lilted from the erewhile misty
exilities of Kansas, we learn with satisfaction
litorv, and they all agree in placing the whole
responsibility for the Lecompton troubles, upon
the shoulders of the Abolitionists who refused
to vote lor delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention. We copy an article on this subject
from one of those papers, which will be found
in another column, and to which we invite the
earnest attention of the people. The article is
headed "TIIE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IN KANSAS."
Head it and bear in mind that the Kansas editor
says:
"It is the merest DEMAGOGUEISM AND A BASE
LIE, to assert that the President or Congress at
tempted to impose upon us a Pro-'Slaverv Con
stitution against our wishes, inasmuch as it was
known that our Legislature elected under that
Constitution was almost unanimously Pree State,
and our right to chaoge the Constitution imme
diately after admission, was ably set forth bv the
President, and his views endorsed by a Demo
cratic Senate."
PRAISEFROM THE ENEMY.
The late Message of Governor Packer is spo
ken of by many of journals in
terms of the highest praise. It seems that
even the bitter enemies of the Democracy are
compelled to applaud the course of the Gover
nor. T hey not only approve his reference to
Kansas matters (which was to be expected, of
course,) but they also extol his views on State
affairs, (which was not to be expected by any
means). Thus we see that the same fellows
who but little more than a year ago, denounced
Mr. Packer and took particular delight in dub
bing him General "BACKER," and in heaping
all sorts of insults upon him, because he was
then a Democratic candidate, are now engaged
in heralding forth his merits as a Governor and
lauding him as a "brave, conscientious and in
corruptible man !" It is a little singular that
they are just now discovering Gov. Packer's
great virtues, especially as they have known
him as a public man these twenty years. We
venture to predict that should Governor Packer
ever again become the Democratic nominee for
any office, they would very soon lose all recol
lection of once having given him their appro
val.
A FAITH FI L SENITNEE.
lVe notice with feelings of unalloyed satis
<7oo * acl ' on > tilat our vigilant and industrious Sena-
Tail. tor > M R - SCHELL, is making every effort in Ins
yar. power to protect the Commonwealth from the
entailment of unnecessaiy and useless expenses.
w We have observed that he fcas uniformly oppo
sed every attempt at introducing bills and reso
lutions into the Senate, looking to profitless ex
penditures of the public money. Mr. Schell
has proved himself a faithful sentinel in stand
ing guard over the interests of the tax-payers,
and his fidelity will be gratefhliy remembered
by the constituency which he so ably repre
sents.
IGNORANCE, OR WILFUL FALSEHOOD. 1
MR. JORDAN, in his article on the Clovern-I
or's Message, takes occasion to say that that .
functionaly condemns the Dred Scott decision, j
Mr. Jordan either did not read the Governor's
Message with both his eyes open, or else is guil
tv of a delibeiate falsehood in making this state
ment. We quote the exact language ot the
Governor, concerning the Dred Scott case, as
given in Mn. JORDAN'S own paper, and it is as
follows :
"But during the angry feelings which this
controversy has aroused, the theory has been
stalled and insisted upon, that it will hence
forward be the duty of Congress to piotect sla
very in the territories if the people of the terri- j
tori'es shall fail to do so. The warrant for j
this extraordinary assumption is alleged i
to exi.-t in the decision of the Supreme j
Court cf the United States, in the case of Dred
Scott. Entertaining, as I do, profound rever
ence for the decisions of that august tribunal,
and stunding ready to obey litem, whenever
they are enunciated, I have yet to be convinced
that any such construction can be fmrty given
to their action in the case referred to."
The mental vision oftiie man who would say
that this is a condemnation of the Dred Scott de
cision, must be darkly obfuscated, indeed
A FLUTTERING AMONG THE BIZ
ZARDS.
The fearless and elhcient efforts of GUN. BOW
MAN, in endeavoring to check the impostures
which contractors for the Public Printing, and
others, have been practicing upon Congress, has
created quite a sensation among the gentry who
have been thus engaged in plundering the
Federal Government. We notice that they
have resorted to anonymous attacks upon the
General, in the newspapers, evidently with the
intention of forcing him to resign his office.—
They will find that they have "waked \ip the
wrong passengpr," for the General is not the
man to be intimidated by anything they can
sav, or do, in opposition to his course. The
best plan these gentlemen can adopt, in their
present emergency, is to keep as quiet as possi
ble, and to imitate the example of General Bow
man, by making honesty their prime rule ot ac
tion in all their future transactions with the
I Government.
JJLOWS HIS OWN TRUMPET.
The'ex-llonorable Francis Jordan announces
in his organ of last week, that lie is the author
ofthat excellent Act of Assembly concerning
the office of the Attorney General, to which
Governor Packer refers in such eulogistic terms
in his late message. The ex-llanorable knows
exceedingly well how to blow his own trumpet.
We wonder that he did not tell us that he was
the author of the "Buzzard Feast" anti-Came
ron Address, and that he was the Bedford cor
respondent of CHARLES GIBSONS, in 1856. when
the latter gentleman was baiting his trap for the
Fillmore men of this county.

PITIABLE BIGOTRY.—'I lie American and
Black Republican Legislature of New Jersey,
says the Philadelphia Argus, invited all the
clergymen of Trenton to officiate as Chaplains,
with the exception of the Catholics. The in
sult to 1 lie priests of that religious denomina
tion of Christians was premeditated. The spir
it that hung Quakers, banished Baptists, and
whipped beer-barrels for working on Sunday,
yet lives. The fangs of the serpent have been
pulled out, but it hisses and sputters as fiercely
33 ever. The Newark Evening Journal
has the following comments in relation to the
matter:
An Intolerant Act. —The House of Assem
bly of (!iis State, in tendering an invitation to
the various clergymen of Trenton to open the
sessions ol the Assembly with prayer, have re
fused to include the Catholic clergy in their in
vitation. This is a most illiberal decision on
the pall of the Assembly, which deserves and
should receive the unqualified reprobation of the
people of all religious denominations. It is in
j direct conflict with the spirit of our institutions
j and, we may add, in contradiction of the very
| letter of the Constitution, which provides that
there shall be no establishment of one religious
sect, in preference to another : np religious test
shall he required a? a qualification for any of
fice or public trust and no person shall be deni
ed the enjoyment of any civil right merely on
account of his religious principles.

The President's Message in Kansas.
While the Black Republican party and their
allies ate stigmatizing that portion of President
Buchanan's late message which is appropriated
to a review of the Kansas question, as untrue
with reference to facts and unsound iu policy,
the papers and people of that Territory are ap
plauding Mr. Buchanan for standing (irmly on
the wise, conservative and constitutional plat
form which he erected in his first communica
tion to Congress upon this vexed and irritating
subject. The Kansas Motional Democrat, when j
noticing the President's message, says:
We were well pleased to see that the Presi
dent stands firmly by his policy in regard to ,
this Territory. Had his plan been-ljilly carried •
out, long ere this, Kansas would have been a
State with a Constitution prohibiting s'avery.—
The President had no right to dictate to the
peoole of Kansas how they should make a Con
stitution, and Congress had no right to reject it,
as it was Republican in its character, excepting
for the reason that our population was not suffi
! ciently large to entitle us to an equality of rep
resentation with the States, and this they would
not do, but very wisely agreed that we might
become a State, and within thirty days there
after, through the act of a Free State Legislature
take the proper steps for determining whether
the settlers desired a change of the
Lecomnton Constitution. Thus it will be seen
that the President and Congress, strictly and lo
the very letter, carried out the terms of the Cin
cinnati resolution.
It is the merest demagogueism and a base lie,
to assert that the President or Congress attempt
ed to impose upon us a Pro-Slaveiy Constitution
against our wishes, inasmuch as it was known
that our Legislature elected under that Consti
tution was almost unanimously Free State, and
our right to change the Constitution immediate
ly after admission, was ably set forth by the
President, and his views endorsed by a Demo
cratic Senate.
Had the patriotic portion r.f our anti-slavery
settlers gone to the polls in June 1857, as they
should have done, they could very easily have
carried a large majority of the delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, and thus have pre
vented the formation of a Constitution obnoxious
to them. In June, 1857, they were under the
lead of radical Abolitionists, who came to Kan
sas to create discord and ptoduce, if possible,
the dissolution of the Union. Therefore these
"radical" leaders in council determined not to
vote, and thus permitted the Convention to be
carried by radical or ultra men on the other
side, by which means they could more readily
promote their object, and avoid all the respon
.sthttrtv. l-oasiuenn* Ue U
to deceive many ot our settlers, and completely
humbugged the people of States. The sel
| tiers in October, 1857, r< the radical
: Abolition leaders by alien; ing the polls against
i their advice, which resulted in their carrying
J the election of that year. In December, 1857,
! the Anti-Slavery men called a Convention, to
determine whether they would vote for otiicers
under the Lecompton Constitution. These for
mer Abolition leaders succeeded in packing
that Convention, and resolved not to participate
in that election. The patriotic and loyal Anti-
Slavery men present, refused to be bound by
such trickery; they withdrew, he'd another
Convention, resolved to vote, nominated a tick
et, and carried all the officers under the Le
compton Constitution. For their patriotic
course we are well pleased to see, they have
received a favoraole notice in the mesage.
THE NEW TERRITORIES. —New Territories
1 start into existeuce with such rapidity in this
| country, that it is almost impossible to keep the
1 run of them. Dacotah is to be carved out of
J the western half of what was formerly the
| Minnesola Territory. When the State was or
• ganized, a line was drawn through the midJle
!of the territory Irorn north to south. The eas
tern part became the State of Minnesota, and
the western is the Contemplated Dacotah. Ar
izona is a combination of the south part of New
Mexico, with that Mesilla Valley strip ot land
which we purchased from Mexico in 185 J.
The latter is without a local government.
"Nevada" is the western half of Utah, Iving
between Salt Lake and California. "Laramie"
means the western part of Nebraska, in which
the fort of that name is situated "Pike's Peak"
is the Rocky Mountain chain in the western
part of Kansas, which part it is proposed to cut
offfor a new Territory. "Superior"or "On
tonagon" is the peninsula between Lake Supe
rior and Michigan, part of which now belongs
to Michigan and part to Wisconsin.
THE It IGDON IVI UDDER-CONVICTION OF CROPPS.
—The trial of Marion Cropps, indicted, with
Peter Corrie, for the murder of police officer
Rigdon, was closed on Tuesday, bv a verdict
against the prisoner of "murder in the first de
gree." The evidence in the case was closed in
the morning, and the argument before the jury
was commenced by Mr. Machen lor the State".
Mr. V\ byte followed for the defence, and the
case was closed by Mr. Gittings, for the State.
The jury, as was expected from the unbroken
and irrefutable mass of testimony tracing the
murder directly to the accused, found 110° diff
iculty in coming to an agreement, and, after a
brief absence from the Court room, returned and
announced their decision.

Latest News frem Salt Lake.
Ten of Majors <-S" Russell's men frozen to
death at one time.
From the Western Platte Argus Jan. 7th.
We had a call from Mr. John M. Guthrie,
and learn the following facts of his trip in.—
Mr. G. left Salt Lake City on the 27th of No
vember, with the mail on packed animals, in
company with G. A. Beardly, of New York.
It had been snowing for seven or eight days
belore Mr. G. left the valley. The snow was
from one to 7 leet deep in the Big Mountains,
and they had to tiamp the snow to pass with
their animals. Second day out the snow was
so deep that the company got lost, and lay out
all night, and the men in charge ot the mail had
theii feet and hands frozen, and their boots had
to be cut off of their feet the next morning.
The third day they made Bridger at sunset, I
and after traveling about twenty miles got lost j
again, and were compelled again to lie down in 1
the snow til! morning. Fourth day they made
Big Sandy Station, and left there about ten
o'clock in the evening, and traveled about
twenty miles, wind blowing from the East.—
The snow increased so as to prevent them from !
seeing five feet before them, and compelled
theiri again to lay up. They canned in the
hollow, and during the night, snow drifted on
them to the depth of three feet. Here the
whole company almost froze. Mr. G. states
that his feet and legs were so numb as to be al
most unable to stand up. The mail men hav
ing no bedding, were compelled to walk around
all night to keep from freezing.
Fifth day, left early in the morning—travel
ed eight miles; one ot the mail men's face and
hands froze, and the other was so far frozen as
to be almost asleep. Mr. G. here finding that
the men would freeze, took them off and made
them walk. They then turned and went back
28 miles to Big Sandy. The next day the
wind ceased, and they started in company with
Mr. Ashton, the mail agent. They reached the
South Pass at dark. Here the winu raised a
gain—the snow being drifted from live to ten
feet deep, and they again became lost. For
tiiree or four hours they wandered round in
hopes to find the road, and their only hope was
to face the wind in order to reach Sweet Water,
| which they did. They then attempted to
! travel down this stream, but the drifted snow
was so deep as to be impassable.
They camped, and Mr. Ashton froze one of
his feet while in the bed. In the morning they
left mules, mail, and all, and took it afoot down
: Sweet Water on the ice. Mr. Ashton begged
|to be left in the bed, as they had to cut the
1 boots off of his feet. Mr. G. pulled off his buf
! falo moccasins arid put them on Mr. Ashton lea
j ving his feet with only a deer-skin mcccasin on.
| The whole company concluded their time was
i growing short, but like heroes, made a desper
j ate effort—part of the time carrying Mr. Ash
' ton. Thev reached the station about ten miles
| distant. They then had some hopes of making
I the trip, although the thermometer stood 27
| degrees below zero. Mr. Sanders, the survey
lor on the new road south of Laramie, had Mr.
! Miller stationed at this place with a barometor
j and thermometor in order to take notes of the
weather. The oldest mountaineers, one in par
j lictilar who lives close by the station, states
j that it was the coldest weather they had expe
j rienced for thirty years.
i They left Mr. Ashton, after laying over three
ior four da vs. While here the St. Joseph mail
I arrived—Mr. Garvis, the Indian Agent for the
! Snakes, * coming through with it. They had
! nine mules to freeze around their camp tires—

j days wilhi ukeight miles of the station unable to
j get in. Here Majors & Russell had ten inen
frozen fo death. They attempted to follow the
train and became lost and froze. While here,
the Salt Lake mail of December Ith, overlook
Mr. G., and having no men to send with the
mail, Mr. G. took charge of it and brought it
to La amie; where he met an agent having men.
i Mr. G., took the coach, in company with four
other passengers ; below Laramie they had but
little snow, and the roads weregood most of the
time. They found men at almost every station
on the road frozen. They met Mr. Hockaday
at Cotton Wood Springs, on his way up with
mules to supply the mail stations. From here
1 the roads became muddy and the creeks hiMi,
and in some places had to swim the mules.

A CASE FOR ABOLITIONISTS.—A novel case
was tried this morning in the Common Law and
Chancellor Court in the city of Memphis, on
the chancery side of (he court. Hannah, a free
woman of color, who had been manumitted oy
Mr. David Jamison, of Shelby county, in this
state, returned from Ohio, where she was freed
and desired her former master (Mr. Jamison) to
take her back into his household as a slave. He
was disposed to gratify her wishes, but desired
her to consult an attorney. She did so, and
John G. J inule, Esq., filed in her name a peti
tion to the Chancery Court, setting forth the
facts of her manumission in the State of Ohio
that she had returned to Memphis, where she
preferred to live as a slave with her old master,
than to be free in any ol the free States. She
expressed her wish in open court, and was close
ly examined by Judge Caruthers as to her mo
tives for retui ning to bondage. She spoke clear
ly arid sensibly, saying that she preferred bein°"
a slave and remain in Tennessee, rather than to
be free in Ohio : that she wanted a kind master
to take care of her arid provide for her wants.
The court thereupon ordered a degree, in accor
dance with the prayer of petitioner and the law
of Tennessee.— Memphis Appeal,Bi/i inst.

MR. ABEAM S. HEWITT, who was so exten
sively quoted by ex-Senator Cooper in his poli

"I do not believe t hat any judicious iron
master can be induced to lend hts aid or influ
ence to the organization of a party" upon so nar
row and selfish a basis. The apparently antag
onistic position of the President and the Secre
tary of the Treasury on the subject of specific
and ad volerem duties is in itself a most favora
ble evidence that the question is in a fair way
of being decided on its merits, and without ref
erence to future political issues. Having had
an interview with the Secretary ofthe Treasu
ry, I arm entirely satisfied of his sincere desire
to have the du ties on iron arranged upon the
only proper basis of equal justice to consumers
and producers ; and I trust lhat the desirable
result will not be defeated by any effort to make
the iron question again the foot ball of party
politics."
