In the recent debate in the Senate of the United States, after the Wyandotte Constitu tion had been 'laid before that body by Vice President ilaxesummeta, enough was said to indicate the determination of the South, aided by the Administration, to keep Kansas out of the Union, and so to continue the excitement on that question during tho coming Presiden ilateampaign. No people have more faith fully earned the "rights of a sovereign State than the people of Kansas. They have im plored for these rights at different stages, and in every way consistent with the dignity of 'freemen. They occupy 'a soil of unrivalled fertility, and enjoy a climate of unsurpassed salubrity. Although harassed by internal dif tletaties, and made the foot e ball of factions, the population of Ramat has increased with wonderful rapidity and even those who have heretolbre ' resisted her admission into the Union (we mean those residing in the Territory Itself) are free to confess that she is entitled to this act of grace; not only because her pee . pie demand,it, but becanee she has long ago reached the proporratio of population—not, it May be, that set forth in the odious English bill—but twice that whieltwas sufficient to se cure the admission of Oregon, and some three or four timeslerger than was exacted by Cone gress In the case of other new States added to the fluidly of the Union some years ago. The. Southern politicians who Control the President and the Senate, and hold the Demo- . cratio party of the House in their hands, are resolved that Kansas shall not come into the Union at the present session. Kansas would probably throw three electoral votes against the nominee" of the Charleston Convention. The idle plea that she has not complied with the requirements of the English bill (which were neither more nor less than a studied in mat) is only calculated to stir anew the dray of sectional discord, and to put upon the de fensive hundreds and thousands of Democrats In the free States who have been imploring the managers of the Administration party to have this vexations and Irritating Issue re moved from the controversies of the day., These • Southern politicians believe they have so consolidated the South in support of the extremest demands upon Congress and the country for the protection of slavery in the Territories, that they have lost all considera tion for their associates in the North, and now look upOn the exclusion of Kansas as another tribute to the violent sentiment they havebeen able, as they conceive, to excite among the Southern people. Kansas has elected her new Governor, and her member of Congress, preparatory to her admission into the Union. Her Legislature will soon choose two United States Senators. She has taken her own census, and even, the Federal officers in her territory do not hesitate to declare - that she has more than a sufficient population. If she should be ad mitted into the Union one-great cause of dis; content' and division in the Democratic party would thereby be - removed.. - That which should have been done nearly three years ago will haie been accomplished, and Northern Representatives will be enabled to go before the Northern people rid of a load which has heretoforenlmost crushed them to the earth. But the extreme South says o no," Kansas shall cOntimie to struggle along in a Territorial condition. She shall not be permitted to vote at the next Presidential election, even at the risk of making her a settled Republican State, and those immense communities in the North and Northwest, who have been looking for ward to see her added as another star to the national sisterhood, will again be disap pointed. The object of the self-constituted managers of the Democratic party of the present day seems to be to add every new burden that can be conceived, to those which are already em barrassing the progress of the Dernocmcyef the free States. They look to the concentration of power only in the South. Animated by a desire to throw the ono hundred and twenty electoral votes of the slave States in favor of nob a candi date' as they may compel Charleston to' select, they have lost sight of the,feelings or the in-' termite of the-Democracy of the North and the Northwest. They will, therefore, make no concessions, 'either to these interests, or to these feeling ' s. Every blow aimed at them strengthens themselves, they think, at their own homes. The more they insist upon new guarantees for slavery, (while this must weaken their Northern brethren,) the more powerful they become, among their own people.' = The moderate mon of the slave States are silent or subdued by these violent demonstrations, and those Northern politi cians who, under other circumstances, would be brave and bold enough to stand up for the pledgee and covenants of the Democratic party, lose their courage and violate their consistency before what they regard as a united South; and in their anxiety to serve themselves, forget their duty to their own core stitpents. The admission of Kansas would be an act of peace and good-will Co an honest and patriotic sentiment, and the refesal 'to accede = to this sentiment only shows' how fearfully and rapidly we are rushing into a sectional condition. Mr. Alexander Wolowskr. Mr. Alexander Wolowski, who paid a profs- atonal visit to tills country in 1848, in 1850, and again in 1854, arrived at New" York, last week from Paris, by the Arego.

It is too true 1 4 reference nearly all the candidates for President, of ,whatover party, that they have generally, agreed to subordinate the question of protecting ,the great staples of American industry, and of, considering other and less practical issues. But can Mr. GUTHRIE main tain himself? „Can any candidate for the Pro. sidency maintain himself by a declaration be. forehand that Ito is willing to favor such a re venue, policy as would properly regard those vast and Controlling interests which enter so largely into the question of American labor and Ainerican industry, should ho be elected to the Presidency? The last National Convert tionfi of both organizations overslaughed this question in their platforins, and it is almost ex pecting too much to suppose that the National Conventions of this year will behave any bet tor. Mr. Beensmix, when ho was chosen to the Presidency, had, by his former course, made his mark in support_of the interests of his native State ; and yet, when he left the North on the question of Kansas, he could net re cover on the question of the tariff, because be round a Southern man in his Cabinet quite as resolute in refusing to yield to the President's appeal in favor of the interests of Pennsylva nia, as in demanding his desertion of the prin ciple of Popular Sovereignty. Now, therein in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ma ned, Maryland, and Virginia, an nnmistaka ble theling in favor of inch a revision of the present revenue laws as would approve a practical and substantial measure of relief to the great iron interests. But will the South, at Charleston, bo willing, in an expli cit way, to recognise this foaling? Can the Southern politicians do so in the face of their 'offensive encouragement Of the odious non. intercourse system, which they are pushing to mehaxtremes ? A large amount of the feel ing excited in this State on the slavery ques 'lon has grown out of the continued repudia ion of the interests of Pennsylvania by the Southern politicians. Mr. Gutman wants to be President. It is In honorable ambition, mad we honor him for oeroittting his friends to put him forward as rot Unwilling to strike out a new path on the +ubfect of the tariff. He is, besides, a man of ierve, and is rich enough to afford to do right. if the publication of his record means any thing, it must mean something more than a mere personal promise to the manufacturers and laboring men of the free States—it must nean his determination to insist upon a platform conaistont with himself. In these days, when randidatos are bound by platforms, and when individual opinions are surrendered at the bid. ling of caucuses. and conventions, something more will be demanded than the halfauthor- ized declarations of aspirants before a nomina don. But we desire to thank Mr. GUMMI: and his friends for as much as they have mid upon this question. It is the first formal, indication wo have had from %pi candidate for the nomination of the Jharleston Convention in favor of the interests )f Pennsylvania. What does Mr. Bittioznt tnxis say on the same subject? Mr. Was ms taken care to put himself on the free-trade roily, and Mr. Hum , En has been similarly ex pliOt. If Mr. Grrnaur can de no more than teach other candidates equal candor in ad ranee of Charleston, be will have done a great seal. At all' events, let us of Pennsylvania look to ourselves, and see whether, from the present confusion, we cannot obtain such an otsurance of protection to our own interests is will last beyond the first snow alter the inauguration of the new President in 1861. Water-Gas. We have seen and carefully examined this new process of manufacturing illuminating lag It seems to us a complete success. Compared with coal-gai an equal number of cubic lbet -yields more light and more heat. it is more dense, much cheaper, and requires greatly less room for its apparatus and fewerla borers to mineutlecture it. It is also easily fteed ['rim some of the offensive mixtures, such as the sulphurous and nitrous compounds—it is by so much less offensive in the leakages and escapes incident to the use. A bushel of ;harcoal and three hundred pounds of rosin ire consumed in the production of ton thousand nitiefeet of gas. These are the only materials employed in the conversion of the hydrogen of Water-vapor inte,the gas or gases required. tiny hydro-carbonaCeetts subStanees—such as :he asphaltum of,Cubs, coal oil, or other mine- Pal oils—may be used as well as rosin. This elan of substances is vtry various, quite ex haustless, and extremely cheap. A retort of but one third of the cubical capacity of the :cal-gas retorts in common use, can, without `lcing subjected to a destructive degree. of teat; make three or four fold the quantity of as in equal time. ' By increasing the heat it can be pushed to a yield of six times—that is, eighteen times the yield of a coal-gas retort f tho' same dimensions. It, can, indeed be undo as faat its it can bo conveyed from the ;curator. The capacity of the materials and treparahis fey producing the gas answers to she degree of hest applied, and the only ques tion is whether it will pap to burn up the re torts with a rapidity proportioned to their pro !Activeness, which is scarcely a question. The piantity of product and speed of the manufac ure are the things secured, and they more han Compensate the consumption of iron. The secret of the success in this method of asking water-gas Is in the fact that by ming lug the vapor of water and the hydro-carbona mous matter (rosin,) the decomposition of the elements is effected simultaneously, with and n the presence of each other, so that at the tasc,ent points of generation they are subjected 'o the action of their affinities ; they enter into :hemical combination, yielding the bi-carbu -otted hydrogen (illuminating gas), the iroto T carburetted hydrogen and carbonic ox de (combustion supporters), which are re mised to confer upon the aggregate the pro ses degree of luminousness. A sufficient ex eerieuce, we are told, proves that the gases • hus produced are permanent, undergoing no ,lecomposition or deterioration after standing ; year in a•gasometer. The failure of previous dim:lapis to make water-gas is due to a failure •o Secure the simultaneous decomposition of the ingredients, and combinations of their elements. The gas, after leaving the genera mr, is easily, cheaply, • and expeditiously sashed and purified. , Indeed, the apparatus is 40 simple, compact, and convenient, that it can heintroduced in our large hotels and factories is an.attaehment of such establishments, To :his extent, at least, it is capable of passing into private use. The current cost—apart from the apparatus end its wear and tear—of making one thousand feet of gas is less than fifty cents. The coal. ins of our city establishments costs about one ' toiler and twenty , cents to the companies. rind:this is water-gas, and not rosin-gas in the proper sense of the words, is obvious from the fact that an excess of rosin reduces Its lumi nosity, and pushed very far destroys it. Both tho charcoal' and the rosin contribute essential elements, but the Principal ingredient is the hydrogen of the water used, and this substance properly gives the product its distinctive po pular name.- We think It capable of still greater improvement, even in the process of production, and have no doubt that it will an swer many uses, and will be got under more and more perfect control in application to such uses, with a little experience. • All the world knows that we need something to check the abuses which the public is suf fering from the monopolists of gas manu facture.

The sys. tem has proved to bo a failivre. Members, while in their places, find it impossible to get along without the means of writing. The tables, In the different corners of the hall, aro generally crowded, and those who occupy them are compelled to do so at great inconvenience, carrying there their private letters, and their official 'papers, which they are obliged to store away in their bate, or to run the risk of mingling them with the papers of others. In consequence, several of theßepresentatives had carried to their seats in this now bell, the old desks so useful In the other hotise. This example eoon induced others to demand the same privilege, which the officers of the Reuse having no power to grant, a resolution wee introduced on Thursday, directing the removal of all desks.

The stormy proeeediags of the Democratic) Con 'cotton, held in Virginia !last week, indicate that, lowan!. the South may be united in defence of its .wn rights, it is not at all united in the support of ,ny particular Southern candidate for the Frani term'. An incurable hostility reigns In Virginia, between the friends of ;Bunter and Wise. Vice President Bookinridge is eagerly supported by •housande of Democrats ht the free States Or the Tharleaton nomination ; and yet Kentucky, hie 'wn native Commonwealth, has presented Mr. 4uthrie for the Presidency. A very Wive contest 's going on in the Demoorntle ranks of Mississippi letween the friends of Brown and Davis. Mr. ilidoli is very strongly opposed in Louisiana. An- Irew Johnson, though presented by Tennessee, is regarded with much jealousy by certain aspi rants in hie own notion. General Houston, of Naas, warmly favored by many Union men, will 'os earnestly assailed boletus° of his conservative •endenoies. Nearly all these interests are bitterly uiveree to the nomination of Judge Douglas at Tharleston ; and as this animosity is stimulated by the Administration and by such Northern support s!" of that Administration as Messrs. Bright and Fitch oflndiana, Bigler of Pennsylvania, Gwin and Weller of California, Lane of Oregon, Seymour of Yew York, and others, it will r9uire almost superhuman exertions on the part of the friends of the Little Giant to encore for him the approving colon of the Demooratio Yational Convention. That he is the on nietakable choice of the Manses of the Democratic ,arty In the free States, cannot be successfully denied ; but when it is rteollooted that Mr. Bu chanan is resolved to carry Pennsylvania against him at the Reading Convention on the e9th of Feb ruary; that the Adminbitration men in Indiana mart that a number of the delegates from that Mato to Charleston are MS opponents; that a simi lar allegation is made in regard to the Minnesota telegram, and that an attempt has lately been dis sovered to deprive him of the eupport of Wiscon sin; while the recent appointment of Gen. Whit ney as the Collector of Boston is supposed to look 'co the subsidizing of eartein delegates from New England ; and that even New Jersey is confidently counted upon to send Administration men to the Yetional convention, his ammo for the nomina tion do not look as favorable as they did some seeks ago. The feeling against Judge Douglas on the part of the Southern and Administration oham. pima is that of intones personal bitterness, and they resort to every expedient to destroy him. If ho could place himself in an independent attitude, and stand ready to head e, national demonstration against any aggressive optiit that may be made by the managers of the Administration organization, he would, in my opinion, be the next President of the United States—partiouiarly iu the event of the disruption of the general Opposition.

The Almshon%e (For Tho Pron.) In your issue of the lath, there aro eotne edito rial remarks in relation to the management of at. fairs at the City Almshouse. The remarks are, in the e w e, exceedingly flattering to the existing Beard of Guardians, and, I may add, deservedly to. There is, however, a single point that falls un. der your criticism on which I desit e to make a re• mark or two. You disapprove of the appeals that have boon mode to the public by the resident phy sician and chaplain of the Insane department of the Almshouse. You object to these appeals on the ;round that the Board should purchase the articles w hi c h arc ca ll e d for, and in all respects make the insane department such an institution as the mod. ern improvement in the treatment of the insane demands. White I am quite ready to concede the correct- 1 nosed the principle you advocate, I think that the ! public—l mean particularly the small lax-payers. alio really constitute a majority of every communi ty—is not quite ready for the transition from doing next to nothing at all for the insane beyond keeping them alive, (I must be understood to mean as regards any special curative treatment,) to putting the establishment on such a thorough footing es is demanded by the improvements that have, within a very few years, been made in their treatment. For instance, Ido not think that the public Is quite prepared to tolerate the purchase of stereoscopes, music -boxes, melodeons, and other things, which have been lately purchased with money contributed by benevolent individuals. And yet, these articles, and others, more expensive still, that might be named, are regarded as import ant adjuncts in the treatment of the 1013i1I10 at the present day, For there, it stems to me, it is at present proper to look to well-disposed persons of wealth, until they have become a patter the ma chinery of the institution, when it will bo ranch easier to keep them up than it will be to establish them. Every insane hospital in the country re ceives contributions front private individuals, and this would not have been an exception to the rule, if the public had felt that they could rely on their contributions being properly dispensed. Indeed. I am not sure that it would not be policy to look to private munificence, in part at least, to supply the first want of the insane poor—viz : 7letlf butld ings, in a. proper location, and planned SD as to allow of a proper classification, A word on this topic. It cannot be many years before the publio will be compelled to provide new accommodations for the Insane poor, even without any reference to adopting modern plane of treat ment. The utmost capacity of the building now occupied by thorn (and it would then be over crowded) is 600. It now contains nearly 500. The average increase of the insane department of the Almshouse for the past ten years has been twenty one a year, while *e ratio inn-cages every year. Last year the increase was sixty-ono. From this statement, it will ho readily coon that the time is not far distant when new buildings will have to be erected somewhere. In view of this fact, it was with regret, in an economical point of view, that I saw that a committee recently appointed by Coun cils and by the Boards of Guardians and Prison Inspector(' decided against changing the building at present occupied by the insane, and which is not well adapted to the purposes of an insane hos pital, into a house of correction, and erecting new buildings for the insane. It does not seem to me that the purchase of ground adjacent to the Coun ty Prison, and erecting buildings thereon, and the traction of work-abops at the Almshouse, is going to prove economical in view of the facts stated above Thom are other points of interest in your excel. lent remarks, cr hich I would like to have notioed but this communication is already too long.

The Hall was about two-thirds filled, principally with ladles and mid dle•aged gentlemen. The lecture was one of the best we have ever heard, and certainly one of the most enjoyable, judging from the hearty applsuso of the audience. Mr. 'Willits does not belie his reputation. He Is emphatically a man of mark—a Isys preaeher—suited to the age in which we live. His subject was admirably chosen, and admirably treated. " The Age, and the Man 'brit," formed the test for his remarks. Ills illustrations were full of humor and poignant wit, and aimed. as they generally were, at the popinjays of aristocracy; who think that " blood" is superior to talent, or " fashion" more honored than sterling worth, brought down the house. Altogether, It was Just such a lecture as we should like the whole town to hear, convinced, as we are, that It Could not but be productive of great good. Ward Beecher and "'tiepin, and others equally known to fame, may be more dignified and philosophical, but for good , mmon-senso talk, fervid eloquence, and keen thrusts at modern follies.
