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. Adjourned. |

St. Louts, Dec-14,1857.
The weather has been unseasonably mild and pleasant
throughout the past week—more like Hay than December
—and the consequence has been a continuation of arrivals'
from all the upper rivers, bringing large amounts of pro
duce of every description. Business is therfore quite brisk,
and our merchants and wholesale dealer* are doing a fisir
trade. The resumption of business in the banking house of
John J. Anderson A Co„ last Monday, has made mo etary
matters much easier, and th« probability is that the sus
pended chartered banks of oar city will shortly resume
specie payments.
There is very little change to note In the produce market
We now quote hemp at $BO ton; Flour $3 bbl-,
according to brand; Wheat with large receipts, sales have
been at 60c@$l per bash., as in quality; Corn Is
scarce and dull, and 400 the extreme of the market; Oats
from 38©42c; Barley 85c; Bye 55c; Pork $l4 per bbl;
Hogs, buyers are'offering $4 sn@4 76 for prime heavy. The
number cut here to this date Is abont 26.000 head: Whis
key Is quoted at I7c; Hay 90c, aod Bran’ at 60c ? 100 lbs
The riversare all In good navigable condition, but freights
are scarce—to New Orleans 40c for Flour; 60c for Pork, and
20c per 100 lbs for weight freight The Ohio .river is very
high—quite a freshet hss taken place there, and at Cin
cinnati the water is up to the enrb on front street.
There were bnt 57 deaths in this city last week.
We have nothing Interesting of a local character to re
port. The usual number of robberies, wlfe-whlpplngs,
catting, stabbing and shooting have taken place, but we
have heard of no serious occurrence, and consequently have
none to communicate.
There have, however, been several elopements In the
country adjacent—men leaving their wives and children,
and wires leaving their husbands, and seeking other clb
mates to enjoy the blessings of a free “ Mormon n country!
The President’s Message was received here '■at 3 o’clock
in the morning of Friday, and the Republican laid the
entire document before its readers before 8 o’clock—24 hours
in advance of all other papers in this city. We have read
the greater portion of this great State paper, and it Is such
an one as might be expected to emanate from a statesman
like James Buchanan —sonnd to the point on all the gen.
eral subjects to whioh he refers. We were well satisfied
of the course the President would likely pursue In regard
to the Utah and Kansas difficulties, and bis remarks on
these points are, plain and comprehensive, and expressed
with that dignity of character, and determination of will
and mind, as to leave no doubt but that he is in earnest,
and with a determination so plainly set forth, that all
obstacles now in the way of a speedy settlement, are so
broken, that another year will pnt the conntry to re6t on
these points, “and its attention be directed to more impor
tant subjects.”
In regard to- Utah, there is bat one course to pursue, and
that is force —persuasion and pleading have been found un
availing, and nothing now remains to be done, bnt the
carrying out of the recommendation 60 justly.prescribed
by the President. Bnt lot the army be of sufficient force
to at once make the outlaws of the Great Salt Lake Valley
yield submission to the laws of the country. This, we be
lieve, will be done, if Congress gives the President that
support for which be asks, and which be should be granted.
The well expressed remarks of the President upon the
Kansas question, seem not to have healed the breach, be
tween the two contending porties of the Territory. It may
not be generally known that the Black Republicans are
bitterly opposed to Kansas being admitted as a Free Slate,
notwithstanding they profess to favor that doctrine What
we here write is truth, and this tmth Is substantiated by
facts, which we will here briefly state, to show to yonr
readers, and those of your Black Republican neighbors—
who are sincere and acting in good faith with that party
for the freedom of Kansas and the non-extension of Slavery
iuto any more Territories. They set out to have Kansas
admitted into the Union as a free State—that was their
political capital for 1856, and thoy persisted in this up to
the time that it was generally acknowledged—when Par
rott carried the Territory as Delegate to Congress by a
majority of 6000. Finding at. this time that there were
Democrats iu the Territory who were just as strongly in
favor of a free State as they were —thousands of whom
voted for Parrott od that ground—not as a Black Republi
can, hut against establishing slavery in KaDßas—all Dem
ocrats are not pro-slavery because thoy live in a slave
State. Since the election of Parrott, letters innumerable
havo come to the West from the leaders of the’Black Re
publican party of Massachusetts, and other Abolition
States, appealing to the free Slate men of Kansas not to
vote ou the 2tst iust.. for if they do, they will be certain of
making Kansas a free State, and thns pat a stop, and for
ever kill the u uprising freemen of the north." And further,
. “to save our parly and the cause, we must SACRIFICE all
that we have thus far accomplished ; and to do this now, will
give our enemies the State of Kansas : hut this we must yield
for a future, triumph — foe tub Presidency IN 1860 !" And
again, “ we are satisfied that we have a large majority in
Kansas, and can cua.vqb the ConstiTition at any time to
suit ourselves. We must sacrifice a little noio, to gain a larger
point in the future.. Admit Kansas as a free State, and ice are
forever poioerless—we thus rob ourselves of sur own capita?
—talc from Peter to pay Paul—and unless Kansas is a slave
State, our doom is sealed—the Republican party will go as
fast baclnvards as did Know-Nothingism. The only way,
then, to save ourselves, is to refuse to vote on the 2ls? inst.>
claiming as our plea V . illegality of the election. 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.

and In death lament; and whereas we claim it as our
mournful privilege, yet pleasing duty- to gather with others
aronnd his newly-formed grave, with them to share our
sorrows and sympathies, with them, to unite in weaving
affection’s wreath, wherewith to garland the lowly rearing
p'aro ofone thus early perished ere his sun to high merid
ian bad advanced; and whereas his i* a “name we wonld
not willingly let die.” at love wecaonot fi>t-g-r.a memory we
would enshrine, and an example emulate: Therefore!—
1. Resolved, That in the death of Mr. James Wimer the
Typographical profession has lost an ornament, society a
worthy and value t member, his friends an endeared and
cherished companion.
2 Resolved, .That, as those long : aasociated with the de
ceased'in business relations, we cheerfully unite onr testi
mony to all that kiiidoesa, courtesy, and genial deportment
which ever characterized him in his intercourse with os.
3. Resolved, That to bis aged parents aod surviving rel
atives we tender, in this the hour of their heavy affliction,
our sincere?! sympathy, invokingin their behalf the sus
taining influences of “ Him who doethall things well.”

SE N D FOR IT!
For 50 cents, in coin or stamps, I send to any address, my
‘•Self Instructor,” which I guarantee will enable any one
to go right to work and make from 20 to 40 good CORN
BROOMS per day. The necessary fixtures can be made by
almost any person, at a mere trifle of expense. The Selins
grove Democrat, of August last, says: “We are always
glad to anuounce anything new that may be turned to a
useful purpose. P. 11. Fisher, of this place, is doing the
public no small degree of service by the introduction of
his very simple mode of making Brooms, by which
any one can make them at a very trilling cost. We cheer*
fully recommend bis Self Instructor, os something worthy
the attention of all who are growing Broom Corn.” It
also gives the best mode of raising arid curing it.
