But he refused to enter into ouch an agreement Mr. DOOLITTLE, of Wisconsin, said it wait true he was in that convention, and that the Democratic party werethen divided upon that issue. So far as he was concerned; though such resolutions were submitted, no proposition ever came freer him, directly or indirectly, that, in odnsideration of the passage of the resolutions, the offices should he be stowed on the other side. Mr. BRODERICK said it was Mr. King who made the proposition to him. ' 't . Mr. Kigo, of New York, remarked that he had no special recollection of such a conversation. He had always considered that there could be no other motive, on the part of &loons residing in tho free States, to oppose such resolutions, than the hope of obtaining office. • (Laughter.) Mr. BRODERICK replied, that if his wing of the party were anxious to obtain • the daces, they would not agree to the plumage of resolutions for that object. Mr. Km remarked, that such conversations were so frequent, that, although he • did not recollect this particular case, he did not question the accu racy of Mr. Broderick's statement. (Laughter.) Mr. DOOLITTLE said that at the time the Wilmot Proviso wee before the Senate, and , was expected to pass, Mr Clay wrote a letter to that erect, and Mr. Cass exproseedt his anxiety aamin and again to be permitted to record his vote in its favor. It, however, failed, because John Davis talked out the last hours of the Congress.

Adjourned until the 4th of January. • HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Mr. ‘Vartnza of Arkansas, roes to a questiob of privilege, and Offered his preamble and resolatien relative to Utah, and requiring of the Committee on Territories to report on the propriety of exeltal log tbo delegate from that Territory from a seat in this House, presented several days since. Mr. Warren said this was a ease which the country and every honest man desired to be investigated. Members were sitting here with the delegate from the Territory of Utah, which was not only morally' but legally in open rebellion against the Govern ment of the United States. Mr. BANKS, of Masa., said that the feet that the preamble de clares that a state of war exists in Utah did not bring the matter before the ROM as a question of privilege. Ile admitted that the con clusion affected the delegate's rights, but the facts on which Mr. Warren had based his conclusions did not affect his rights at all. The SPEAKER remarked that the preamble might or might not be adopted by the House: Mr. Bosom of Virginia agreed that this was a question of privilege, but it would be fur the Hquee to say whether the reasons assigned should be ad mitted. He was not, nor was the House, prepared to admit the facts charged as oonetituting sufficient grounds for the rejection of the delegate, AN Me House cannot set up an injunction of moral* or religion. We cannot declare a State or Territory in a condition of moral rebellion, and that, there fore, its representative is not entitled to be heard on this floor, A part of the State might' be lure hellion, yet are not those who are true and Wyss] entiCed to representation? But we have no nests by which we can doolare Utah in legal rebellion against the country. Where is the message of the President, declaring that Utah is in a state of:re bellion? It would do no harm to refer this reso lution to the Committee on Territories for inveeti nation. Mr. Hos:Par= MAnsitect, of Kentucky, thought that, under all the circumstances,the House ought not to entertain the subject a t all, It would be observed that everything Brigham Young has done has been done in the capacity of civil Governor of Utah. There lo a strong proba bility that the people of that Territory might be deceived as to the extent to which Mr. Young, at Governor, had a right to go. Ile had frequestiy thought that it would have been prudent forfthe incoming Governer to have met the proclamation of /MOM Young with a counter-proclama tion, showing the feet of his (Mr. Cummins's) ap pointment. He would thus have stripped front the shoulders of Brigham Young the cloak un der which he is now acting, and placed the in habitants of Utah In a position to resist Brigham Yeeutg. Mr. Marshall was free to say. that. the President would have done better if be bad Issued a proclamation to the people of Utah, rotting forth the fact of Brigham Young's removal, and the appointment of Mr. Cummins In his place. There were gentlemen here who believe' is' the doctrine of the right of a State to secede from the Confederacy, and to resist the laws which it may deem uncontlitutional. Would the House oon• Oolve that they have a right to instruct the Com mittee on Elections, or a epeeist committee, $ in. quire whether, in view of these facts, they should be excluded from seats in this hall? Mr, Mounts, of Illinois ; wished instructioni , The Committee on Territories repori a bill to reps the act organizing the Territory of Utah, and h- G + log that Territory to another Territory for Jo cial purposes. Mr. DAYIEI, of Maryland, sold the preamble as sumed that the delegate is a representative of a re bellious government, and not that of the people who'elected him. There out be no such Galileo a war of a State or a Territory against 'the (Intern, ment'of the United States. If the sitting hole-. gate did not take part In the rebellion hp has legal rights, equal to those of any other gentleman on the floor. - Those who had resisted the laws should be tried wording te the Constitution, Odle the innocent should have counsel to plead in' their defence. Nothing was snore sacred to the Moons of the States and Territories than the right rf re prestentattoii, mid it should be protected at ()eery point. Mr. BANKS objected to the resolution, although, under Other oircumstances, there was no pother who would more ohooreutly enter into the investi gation than himself. There Was not mulflelent ground 'to justify proceedings 1111 to whethee the delegate front Utah was entitled to a peat. ,The President, in hid message, does not toy a war ex ists with Utdb, ',but that Brigham Young. bus threatened irobellio,n, uud intimates! that some of his throats may be o Imitating. Therefore, be recommends that ad di tional regiments 'should be raised for service in t at 'Territory. Mr. WARREN, of 'Arkansas, said he wanted en investigation, and was not particular as to the form in which it shonid be directed. No attempt had, as charged, been made to expel the delegate from Utah without ,ft hearing. Try the proglarna• tion of Brigham Young.le was plain to every Mind that Utah is in a state pf rebellion. ' Mr. ,Cup.TtS, Of lowa, said that his constituents were interested in Ada matter. arid that a Mermen vitae the editor of a Democratic paper in hip dbl. triet. Mr.'Curtie wished to lotroduee a resolution loohing to the*repeal of the organic law ef . the Territory Of Utah.- . ' Mr, Wane eir 'replied that the ' gentlemen' ,need not tell him that a Mormon was editor of K. DOOIO - paper. Ile 'might' edit what is °Old , a Democratic paper; bat he does not belong to that school of Democracy which has governed, end con trolled and brought the country to' the petulant state or its proSperity. , . ! : Mr. Boron, of South Carolina, remarked that no man bed a lees sympathy with, the Mormons than bimeelf, . The right of Mr, Bernbleel to at seat was not, tuteler monition, but , under the organic law of • the land.

Mr. COLFAX ' of Indiana, thought that the self. respect of the American Congress demanded this Investigation.

Were they not cutting off the army trains, openly throw lug off their allegiance to the General Govern. went, and otherwise defying the law? The Presi. dont says nothing prevails there but the despotism ,of Young. Yet, gentlemen hesitate whether they shall plqlUo an Investigation which their own, be demands.• • . • , ; : ' Mr. Brernans, of Geore, 'Whilele had no of): jabllon to' the adopttoti of the resolution, said there was nothing in the preamble which involved a question of privilege. Mr, MUTT, of South Carolina, moved to table the resolution. g r T 1 The motion was negatived by a vote of 72 yeas !alma 118 nays, be resolution Was then agreed to.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 23.—The President in re sponse to the nail of the Senate, to-day sent in a largo mass of documents relative to Kansas affairs. Among them are the following: DEPARTMENT OP STATE, Washington, Deo. 11th, 1857. James IV. Denver, Secretary and arcing-Goo tremor of Kansas Territory: Sin: You have already boon informed that Mr. Stanton has been removed from the office of Secre tary of the Territory of Kansas, and that you have been appointed in his place. I desire now to state to you distinctly the reason of this change. The Convention which met at Leoompton on the Ist of September, had framed a Constitution, and had autherited its president to submit the question to the people on the 21st of December, who are to decide whether this Constitution should be adopted without slavery. The importance of the issue could not well be overestimated. It in volved the complete and authoritative settlement of the only subject of difference which bad seriously agitated Kansas , or interfered with its prosperity. The qualified electors, therefore, to whom this settlement was referred, bad not only an unquestionable right to attend at the polls, and give their votes on the day appointed, but they were required to do so by the highest considera• none of public duty. In the exercise of this right, moreover, they were entitled to an adequate pro tection by the Territorial Government, and the acting Governor was bound to employ all the legal means at his command to give security and fair. noes to the eleotion. With the conflicting opinions which prevailed in the Territory on the ques tion submitted he had DO right to interfere. They bad their appropriate issue at the ballot box, and to that peaceful arbitrament they might safely be referred. The great objects to be accomplished, in the opinion of the President, were to preserve the peace of the Territory, and secure the freedom of election. Entertaining these views, he was surprised to learn that the Secretary and act ing -Governor had, on the first of December, issued his proclamation for a special session o: the Terri torial Legislature on the 7th instant, only a few weeks in advance of its regular time of meeting, and only fourteen days before a decision woe to be made on thequestion submitted by the Conven tion. This course of Mr. Stanton, the President seriously believes, has thrown a new element of discord among the excitedpeople in Kansas, and it is directly at war, therefore, with the peaceful policy of ,the Ad ministration, For this reason he has felt it his duty to remove him. Prom these views you will readily understand what the Preeldept regards as the chief duty which devolves ;open you en Mr. , Stanten't successor. This duty Le to preserve the peace of Hannan. F.very person entitled to a vote on the Constitution 40,94 to have enkateees to the polla, and be free fronCifey restramarvinatevar we'emenive rtan- Aloe. It the elyll power found Insuffielent for this purpose,, the troops at the United Santa should bo employed in aid of it, and it may be wise pre caution to have them stationed in atIVIIIIOII, within roach of those places where, in your judeent, their servioes are likely to be required. It is ear nestly hoped that the WO of military power may be wholly avoided. Violence is always lent likely to occur when the moans aro known to be at hand for Be prompt suppression. Should the military fordo beoome absolutely necessary to keep the pease, you will find full instructions with reference to the proper mode of employing it in my communications to Governor Walker of March 28th, July 25th, and September 2d, 1957, and in those subsequently written to Mr. Stanton. Of these last, that of November 3Qth was taken to Kenna by you, and yop had a copy of it. 411 of them will doubtless be found in the arobives of the governor at Lecompton. , They refer proud. neatly to the preservation of the peace at certain important elections. But I need btrdly inform you that your duty is not intended to be confined to these special occasions. It extends, of course, to the protection of all °Janne in the exercise of their just rights, and applies to one legal election as well ns another. The Territorial Legislature doubtless convened on the 7th instant, and while it remains in session its members are entitled to be secure and free in their deliberations. Its rightful action moat also be Toppled. Should it authorize an election by the people for any purpose, thbi ideation should be bold without interruption, no less than than authorized by the Convention. While the peace of the Territory is preserved, and the freedom of election is secured, there need be no fear of disastrous eonneqences. The public) journals contain reports of an in tended movement, by a portion of the residents of Kansas, to organize a revolutionary Government under the Topeka Constitulion It Is hardly pos sible this report oats be well founded; but should the attempt be made and lead to a practical colli sion with the territorial authorities, the authority of the Government must necessarily be maintained, and from whatever quarter it is attempted to inter fere by violence with the election authorized by the Constitutional Convention, or which may be authorized by the Legislature, the attempt must be resisted, and the security of the election bo maintained. The peaceable progress of those elections can obviously occasion no Injury to any citizen of any party, because their results can have only their duo weight upon the Constitution and the laws. It 19 to bo expected, therefore, that no good citizen will endeavor to Interfere with them, but that all the people will he con tented to 800 the work of the 00117091110 n peace fully carried out to its legitimate results, and fairly presented to the consideration of Congress. The President relies upon your firmness and dis cretion to give effect to these instructions. It is vitally important that the people of Kansas, and none other than the people of Kansas, should have the full determination of the question new before them for decision. It is important also, that in securing to thein the *tuition to which they aro entitled, groat care should be taken not to organize any illegal authority. On this point, I again refer you to my instructions to Qovemor Walker and Secretary Stanton, which you will regard as directed to yourself. It Is proper to add that no action of the Territorial Legislature, About to meet, can interfere with the elections of the 21st of Beeember and the 2tith of January, on the mode and manner prescribed by the Constitutional Convention. I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, Lewis CASs. TheSe documents also contain Can. CM'S reply to Governor Walker dated STMT. DEPARTNIENT p Pee. 18, 1857. Sin : On Wednesday hat I received your corn inunioation of the 15th inst., tendering your resig nation as Governer of Kansas. This resignation is aceonipanied by a long argument on 'the affairs of the Territory generally, to which you are well aware it would be improper'lor this departMent to reply. If every oftloor of the Government who feels himself constrained to refuse obedience to the instructions of the President shall pursue this unusual course, and thus place on the tiles of the appropriate department criticisms on the policy of the Administration, no person knows butte; than yourself to what Consequences this might lead.

The extended 'femme/alai relations between the old world and the new are of snob a nature, that - while a revuleion on this side can hardly fail to pnednee more or less disaster there, any widespread financial troubles abroad react speedily and severely upon us, and while they continue, stop the active operations of our trade, and compel almost all atoms to pause until a decisive ohange takes plate for the batter. The populations or the old world are In many respects dependent upon us, for/their daily I r kremd—and a general break -dotrn in our he - mtherde abd trade acts upon them with greatsevenity: As our pro duction of breadstuffs, and our consumption of their manufaetures Increase, zeal. by year, % their dependence upon our commercial stability IDO r al" in a more than equal ratio, and notwithstinding their accumulated oapitel, their great and tangi ble recourses, and their cautions and conservative financial systems, they are rapidly approaching the time when the fluctuations of the Amerleaii - I money market will be of as much importance to them as the Mofements'of capital in London itself. Opinions are expressed in some quarters that the severity of the storm at Hamburg will mule it to be soon over, and that trade will Consequently re vive speedily, but we are fearful that the wish is father to the thought, and that the failures at Hamburg will be the forerunners of still fur ther suspension - a in Great Britain. Wherever there has been extended credit there is a de- Mend for prcmpt liquidation, inability to respond to which causes failures, suspensions, and assign ments, with all their chain of oonsequences. It is not likely that there will be marked and perma nent improvement until the worst has been re allied; that is, until the debtors have all either paid up or gone to the wall. That this has been done in Europe we very mach doubt; and we are the better satisfied, therefore, to note that Or the present oar people resolutely determine to avoid extending themselves in new enterprises. Let them nurse their suspended accounts, get in all outstanding claim, husband their rooftrees, and eocumulate as much ready capital as possible, to trade with aright when they feel one* assured that liquidation has been gonflallyeampleted . the . itrorld over.
