The debate on tho Kansas question was then resomed by Mr. Green, of Missouri, in reply to the speech of Mr. Douglas. He argu ed that the speech had caused a wrong impres sion in regard to Kansas affairs. The people , of Kansas bad been allowed the right to form "*a Constitution, prior to their admission into the Union, in their own way, and as best suited them. The w&y the majority chose to form suoß a Constitution was by means of a Con vention, called by their Legislature. They the aright of choosing delegates to form this Conyehtion. He did not believe the Conven tion'ttiuß’cKdsen was obliged “to submit ib'e whole or any part of the Constitution to i-the people. From prudence and policy, however, they had decided to submit the;alavery clause; but they were not obliged todo so. Eight new States bad been admitted into tbe Union with out an “ enabling act,”and for the admission of two of these States, vizi Florida and Cali fornia, Mr. Douglas himself .bad voted. He trusted that Senators would see the immense importance of settling this'question as* early as practicable. ‘ It had already arrayed one section of the country against the other, jf Mr. Douglas corrected certain mis apprehensions the former speaker had made relative to tbe views expressed in his (Mr. D|s) previous speech, and expressed his position more fully. He was as desirous as any. Senator to bring this unfortunate affair to a conclusion. But it could not be settled by trickery. JjA new agitation would be then commenced, apd if he voted for the admission of Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution he would feel it bis duty to vote for an increase of the Army at the same time. Thepeoplejjof Kansas will not permit such things—however good afld beneficial they may be pronounced-j— -to be crammed down their throats. ’j After some further discussion, the was postponed. Adjourned. |! House. —The members of the House met jin their new Hall this morning. |> A communication was received from fcjbe olergymen of Washington City, tendering fchpir services to open the daily sessions with prayer. Amid much confusion the members proceed ed to select their seats by lottery. . j A report from the Printing Committee, fjpr printing extra copies of the President’s Mes sage, brought out Mr. Cox, a democratic mem ber from Ohio, who expressed his disapproba tion of the part in relation to Kansas. He contended that the whole constitution should be submitted to the people, and gave notice :bf bis intention to bring forward a proposition to to that effect. t Mr. Hughes, of Indiana, responded, taunting the gentleman with being the first to desert the Administration. He said such a speech was unexpected in the nouse, as it was not previously understood that there were any Presidential aspirants in that branch of the National Legislature. He desired to knojw whether Mr. Cox intended to advocate the Topeka constitution, to which that gentleman gave a decided negative. j The motion to print web adopted and the House adjouened. jj Nothing of interest occurred in Congress 0n Thursday. ij Washington, Dae. 18. jj Senate. —Mr. Douglas introduced a bill au thorizing the people of Kansas to form a Con stitution and State Government, preparatory to their admission into the Union on an equjil footing with the original States.' jj The resolutions submitted yesterday by Mir. Pugh and Mr. Trumbull, calling on the Pres ident for further information with reference Ijo Kansas affairs, were adopted. The Senate resumed the consideration of the Treasury Note Bill. jj A debate ensued upon the provisions of the bill. Mr. Seward wished the amount limited to ten millions, and the interest to four pejr cent. Jj Mr. Hunter objected to the amount being less than twenty millions, but would agree Ijo limit the interest to four and a half per cent. The amount to be issued would be limited by the necessities of the Government; but if ton millions was made the, limit, there might bje occasion for another bill before the sessjon of Congress was over. Mr. Crittenden was opposed to the note's hearing interest, and would prefer to hav}e them in emulation like bank Dotes. He thought it strange that the Government should suspend now, when the crisis had past, and the Banks were resuming. jj During the debate, a message from thfe House was received, announcing the death Qif Mr. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, when Mj. Bigler delivered an eulogy upon the deceased. Adjourned. jj House. —Mr. Clingman (N. C.,) offered ja resolution directing the Committee on Ad counts, to examine the stationery provided fcjt the use of members and to report its real valuq, and to make such recommendations as they may deem proper in the premises. Mr. Clingj* man said that if the prices now paid for sts - are the same as heretofore, there mu|t be a great mistake somewhere. He had found it so inferior as to be obliged to buy some at the bookstores. He had seen a statement ih ■ the Globe of such a serious character, which, if true, implicated tbe late Clerk of the Houst, (Mr. CuIIom) in an embezzlement of tbe public money. If'any officer of the- House was in-1 combination with- considers to, bay. stationery at low, and sell athigh ija£es,he; ought' to Be published. There may be great injustice done to the Clerk alluded to, of whose conduct tie knew nothing. The affair, and the charges thus made, however, require an investigation. Mr. Houston (Ala.,) thought a Special Com mittee should be appointed to examine this subject and nothing else. There ought to Ije a law requiring strict examination into the accounts of every out going Clerk of tfye House. He was surprised that Mr. Cullomjjs friends had allowed so much time of the ses sion to elapse without demanding an investi gation. \ Mr. Savage (Tenn.) remarked that the charge against Mr. Cullom was made a ma t ter of discussion in his district during the la|t canvass, and he had been told that Mr. Culloijn had made $40,000 outßide of his pay as Glerlj:. This came from Mr. Stanton, a member of the Tennessee Legislature and who once was tfje pet of Mr.. Cullom. ; j Mr. Mason, (Kentucky) said that the Com mittee on Accounts had found no. improper conduct as yet, and hoped that -they-would not. He suggested other examinations. jj Mr. Maynard, (TeDn.) said he was not hero to screen Mr. Cullom’s conduct from a fujl investigation, and he was requested by him to ask an inquiry, ond he demanded it. »:j The House, efter further debate, adopted the resolution referring to a Seleet Committee of five the accounts of the late Clerk, with power to report at any time, and Bend for pet sons and papers. j Mr. J. Glancy Jones, (Penn.) from the Co mmittee of Ways and Means, reported a bill authorizing the issue of Treasury notes. ji Also, a bill making appropriations for toje support of tbe Indian Department, and the Civil and Diplomatic bill. | The House' then went into Committee |>f the Whole, on the Treasury Note bill, similar to that introduced in the Senate. j Mr. J. Glancy Jones was unwilling to pre&s the consideration of this bill, unless the House would give consent with some degree of unanimity. j! Messrs. Campbell, Banks, Ritchie and Grdw opposed an immediate consideration of ttie bill. They believed the great moment of t(ie bill demanded that it should be well delibera ted upon. - Mr. Letcher Baid he was gratified to see this - O gl--. evidence of an improvement in the way of legislation. He recollected when the gentle-, man from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Grow,) in ttie last Congress, had reported bills relating the Territories, and caused a vote on them by moving the previous question—not even sin amendment being permitted. Land bills held been similarly forced through. .1 denied that he had ever reported a bill that had not been printed for at lealst ten days? ij The further consideration of the bill was postponed till Monday. ij A bill similar to that reported in the Senate, authorizing the people of Kansas to formjja Constitution, &c., was referred to the Com mittee on Territories.

Wynkoop, late United States Marshall for the Eastern District ijnf Pennsylvania, was accidentaly killed wbjie gunning near Tamaqua, this State. He hunting pheasants in company with his hired innu, when the gun in the hands of the lattier was accidentally discharged. The load toSk effect in Col.

See that every free State man in the Territory knows his duty—let the election go by default," dx., dc. What will those men tbiuk of this, who acted with the Black Republican party through pure and honest mo tires—-whoee only aim was to make Kansas a “free State?” Can they not see through the flimsy Tell the fact, that all this hurrah for “ free Kansas ” was a mere trap set by the leaders to cutch the unwary, and by thslr aid ride into power and greatness. The election is called fo> the 21xt of this month, and if the free State men of the Territory go to the polls and vote they will easily exclude slavery by. a majority of at least 12,000 or 15,000 —if they refuse to vote,' thoy will have no one to blame but themselves, and the consequence will rest upon their own heads. The Aboli tionists of tho North do not care a straw ahout-the condi tion of or Kansas,—they don’t live there to share its good or evil—but all-rihcy desire is for the people of Kansas to cut their own throats, (which most assuredly they will do, if they do not vote like men and freemen) — that the leaders of the Black Republican party of the North may ride ioto place and power on tho topmost wave ot their blood which they so graciously and religiously sacrificed “ for tho good of the cause!” Wo don’t think the people of Kansas are so recreant to their own interests—their families and their homes—as to live under a constitution which they abhor, and one which they can prevent. It is not reasonable to suppose that they will forego all this to bolster up a few political traitors who havo been lashed through all the campaigns for the last half century. We advise the settlers of Kansas to look after their own peace and welfare first —make th&t comfortable, and than if they choose, take their would-be-assassins by thehand, and help them oat of their difficulties. We candidly believe, that if the Black, Republicans of Kansas do so far forget themselves and their own interests —their duties to their families and their homes—as -not to .vote on the 21st, the day set for the general election—that there will be free Btato Democrat* enough in the Territory to vote down the “ slavery ” clause, and thus atrip them of the little glory they are wont to achieve. There are thousands of Democrats now in Kansas who are opposed to slavery, and will vote against it, not on a polit ical issue, for we claim that it is not such—that every man is voting himself a home, and that he will do, and In doing so will sedk to make it as peaceable and happy as ho can. If the full vote of Kansas is polled, “slavery” will be voted down by 12,000 majority, and this the Black Repub licans know, and with it they vote down their own political capital. Rut whether they vote or not, we think it imma terial, the “ slavery clause ” will be rejected by the people. As a general thing the President's message is pronounced; the most able paper that ever emanated from that Chair.— There are a few—(always some “ black" in a large drove of sheep)—that take exceptions to it—editors of opposite politics—and who would take exceptions' to the Bible and their own consciences, to g&ln a political point or a lucrative office. £3»Great Inducements to Cask Buyers.
