We have certainly desired that it should adviFicate only con ect principles, such ljas ought tci l animate a people claiming to to ;e freedom and justice. The fact 'that our s ' bscription list has gone on steadily in m i creasung fro the first, `shows that our labors hiire aOt been unappreciated.

Ins • • cdawaiting the organization of the two Houses:of Cinigress, as has been the upi , form practice /heretofore, the President sent .in his Message to; both /Teases on Monday, the laSt day , of December. In the Senate the Message was read, but in the Howie, after a fierce j debate, and much squabbling about parliamentary rules, it was deeided by a vote of 87 against 125. that it should not he read. The /louse then' greed by 4 majOrity to lay Al* whole subject l on the table, and adjourned till Wednesday. - The Unprecedented course of the President in sending in his Message while the House is - 'unorganized causes much _comment, in and out of congress. We suppose he felt that it was like some light wines—without body 'enough; to ; Now that it has appeared we find nothing oflvery pressing itrportatice • in it. i Kansas matters, which. ought ,more than 'anything else ; l to attract the President's ottentiOn, are disposed of in a brief paragraph which fakes- the ground that nothing hai oa oltrred4in that Territory that requires or -would justify any interference on the partof the Executive of th e United. States—except, indeed;!(thoughthe Message don't mention it) the act's of GovernOr Reeder, Whom the Pres ident felt called upon to remove, he being the only individual in Kansas who has . offended againstlPierce's code of pc;litical morals. The Message is mostly occupied with dis cussions-of our relations wilt Great Britain, and Central American affairs the necessity and propriety of fielding to every demand of the 'pond; to- preserve the Union—the beitutieis of Popular Sovereignty—the right cf newlStates to hi!, admitted with Or without SlaverY.

The Missoutians, having been frightened from their meditatW attack at Lawrence by the report of Sharp's rifles, had gone home, swearing vengeance, whenever their _ courage could be screwed ; up - to the sticking point. As they must i4erfere is sonic) . way in every Kansas electioni and as_their recent experience before Lawrenoe had convinced them that it would be imprudent to venture se the midst of the Five-State men without their having been first ditiarmed, a . companyi of Missourians went 't4. Leavenworth whele there are but few Esitern men; on the day of election, and while the few Free State men were at dinner, made a !valorous attack upon the three men who - guerded the ballot.boxes. Two of these who were armed, escaped, but the third who was anatmed, was 'severely beaten and would have bein killed by the ruffians, had not a few Frea State Men and one pro-Slavery m , in come tolhis rescue. And So the sham of popular sovdreignty is producing fruits in Kansas, while it is making "conrerti, like Henry M. Fuller aid E. B. Chise, at the North. - • • For the Republican. . &Ikea.

EDITORS feel confidently that you are wrong in jour article on the subject of "errcirs of language:" ...Mary Brown, the head scholar in our school, who is always.no ticed by !visitors because she appears so qua ly in figuires,and who is so talented, every way that we think she must know what's*correet, 'says it seems perfectly ridiculouSly. to call it improper to say any One lookateantifully.6— I'm sureiMary looks beautifully, if any one can, with her mass of fine hair hanging -blaCk ly arounk her forehead, her eyes . looking blue ly as the:Summer_ sky, and her lips. sweetly* redly. She always appears very amiably in her i tempp r, and quietly in* her deportment. Beauty. s a rare commodity, you know, and Mary iS the only girl in school that appears really . beautifully. One girl looks too fatly, *another greenly, another awkwardly, and an other actually homelily, I belong' to the , latter cla#3. My nose turns up quite shortly, ' and my figure appears to • me altogether too plumply.forelegance. Jam no genius, either, althoug9he,teachers generally allow, that I show tny;seli very diligently, at school. • But I haVe Written quite away , from the subject. 1 While we girls were talking at noon-time s about adjectives and adverbs. Mr. Dickens, :Fur teacher, came in-- 7 loOking quite coldly, onlaceount of the severity of the weath er—and Mary showed him that piece . in the •Republi+, and told him her opinion about it, and he, said she was right. To be sure,' John Grimes, a queer sort of a boy, *with a bulging, fcirehead and big eyes,' wide apart, went and tot his Brown's• Grammar, and ask ed Mr. Dickins what he thought of note sec ond, on page - . 167. Mr. 'Dickens took. the. bOok andllooked at it, and then' said Brown was an •old fogy, anti had nO idea of modern improvenenta. This made the girls laugh, and John went to_ his seat, looking, I thikight, a little crestfallenly.,• Now I've mentioned John, I must say he beats the whole school, even - Mary 'brown, in Arithmetic, and , now he has commenced Studying ftlgebra, ". 9n- his own hook," as be calls it, lily Mr. Dickins don't understand it. John is a. great hand to bother , us with his problems; puzzle; &c. One of his questions I don't believe can be anSwered. It is this: How you plant an or chard of nineteen trees, so that there shall be nine straight rows, 'and five trees in each row ? After working at it a goiid while, we can get eight rows, and if-Oybody can, get another, I should like to know hove it is done. Can you tell us It is school time l and I : muststop writing.

Ful ler of this State, who represent, in Cangress, the district composed of the counties i of Le. zee, - Columbia, WYbmlng and Montour, elected by a large majority, otter Hendrick B. Wright, as the. Anti-Nibraslka candidate,. has no doubt startled the Free; oil Men of his district as well as the -opponents' of the Nebraiku swindle throughout the State gen erally„ by his. succumbing to th 4 South since the assembling of Congress. , He was a can didate for the SpeakershiP,;and during the first feiv-diys of the isession,,wai.coinPliment ed by the votes of all his -Anti-Nebraska col-. leagues. They however dropped him and went Banks, Mr Fuller still remaininga can didate and increasing his vote from the SOuth; era Know Nothings, and a few scattering Northern men.. It was evident that Mr. Ful ler had deserted his coastituents and united himself with the cause of lavery, for the sake of strengthening his v to for Speaker ship. On Wednesday du.ing a rambling discussion in the House, Mr Fuller is! report ed as follows : , i [ I ' .'Mr. Fuller of Pennsylvania ;br i ll:Alned . his position, opposing the further ':„ agitation 'of the Slavery question. If he had been in the last Congress, he would have opppsed all territorial legislation, but he would slot vote for the restoration of the Missouri Bile, and would admit. Kansas with or without slavery. He would leave that to the peoOle. [ • M. Todd, of Pa.,said 'if he had' befoie known this, he woud have suffered, his right hand to wither before voting for Mr: Fuller. This is a humiliating acknowledgineut to the friends of. Freedom in Pennsylvania. One of her own sons, from whom so inneh was eixpected, has proved fitlse to hit; pledges and tp the_ trust confided in him. But Mr. Ful lbr has most effectually destroyled his pros pects, in this State, and for all politil pur poses he may be considered as dead as a mackerel. - For the sake of a few Seuthern votes he has lost the confidene [of his con stituents and the people of Peniisylvi nia. In the great contest for Freedom pi Slavery in: Kansai4, he has faltered and arrayed himself against the phalanx of Freedom: he Sepal will eventually despise him, and tl i people of his district will assuredly desiirt I an.. So fulls Mr. Fuller, and so will every other man fall, who proves fitlse in the hour of recd, in the issue now before the country. Mr.-Todd has promp,tly. rebuked league by expressing a regret ,chat opted for a, man holding . the sbntini Mr. -Fuller. This was in seasdn, an, have fallen with full force upon P.eiil nia's recreant son. - i - From the Binghamton fita;zdahli _. , Hon. HENRY M.

We now find! him cheek by jowl, with a section of Nebraahaites in the House, and not only' running for Speaker, in opposition to the anti-Nebraski candidate, but openly proclaiming his opposition to all efforts to arrest the influence mill spread of slavery. A gentleman who tins spent the last two weeks traveling in Mr. 'Fuller's dis trict, informs us that! a spirit of nnive l ri.al in dignation pervades the people, And that:de nunciations of the Hon. gentlenian's !course since he reached Washington, and thieats of vengeance ivereheard on , every handi One gentleman in Luzerne county suited that he was n member of the Convention whiCh nom inated Mr. Fuller, and that the Strong Free and Antt-Nebraska resolutions acloptefl, were drawn by that gentleman himself, and pre sented to the Convention in his own hand writing.
