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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

sashed and purified. , Indeed, the apparatus is

The current cost—apart from the apparatus

feet of gas is less than fifty cents. The coal.

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

elements, but the Principal ingredient is the

Letter from ssOccasional.”
Conosoondonoo of The Primal
WASDINCITthi, February 10,1860
Some mouths ago, in and of my letters descri-
bing the now hall of the llrse of Representatives,
predicted that it would bo found upon trial that
the cushioned sofas, furnished for members, would,
iu course of time. be replaced by the old desks,
and think I can now safely claim having been a
prophet in this, as in some, other things. 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. It le new
stated that an order will his issued by a vote of at
least three-fourths of the I members, directing the
nfficers to replace the desks. Should this be de
sideol, an adjournment for some days will be inevi

unoded, particularly if the agents selected to do

teemed to me the other da;r, that, while facing the
%stern exposure, the statues on either side of the
grand flight of stairs looked Insignificantly small
aecount of the stupendous proportions of the
•ombined old and new Voildings. A similar re
nark has been made by Many. Here again is an
spportunity for the employment of such American
.rtists as can conceive and execute in marble such
lesigne as could fittingly be exchanged for those
ahich (however severely dritroised) have been lo
sated there during the last ten years. I can luta
rine no finer effect than wOuld be produced by two

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 preparations for the inauguration and deal
cation of the equestrian statue of Washington are
on a large scale, and if the weather holds up we
shall have a gala day. The day is to be observed
as a holiday, and the programme issued by Senator
Hammond and lion. L. M. Rcitt exposes a series
of arrangements which, if fully carried out, will be
of an imposing and magnificent character. The
Now York and Richmond regiments will be striking
contributions to the general effect. !Rho President
in dedicating the statue will use the same instru
meat used by George Washington himself in laying
the corner-stone of the Capitol.
see that the L*llo3' National Washington
Monument Association, formed in 'Richmond last
September, mean to avail themselves of the patri-
I otio feeling invoiced by the day. They propose to
distribute boxes through the principal hotels, and
at the statue-ground's, for the reception of contri-
butions. If every person would only drop a cent
in, we would have quite a handsome donation
towards the completion of a work which, in its
present position, is a lasting disgrace to those who
assumed its management, and actually, by their
conduct, either waylaid the good intention's of the
community toward the national work, or expended
wastefully the money raised for its construction.
I doubt whether the resolution offered In tho
House this past week by Mr. Niblack, of Indiana,
would be of lasting benefit to the oily. Probably
it escaped you. It instructs the Committee on the
District of Columbia toinquire into the expedioney
of providing for tho election of a delegate to re•
present the District in Congress, having the same
duties and powers as delegates from the organized
Territories. It inn matter for serious consideration
whether It would be advisable or not to have this
central neutral ground invaded by the animosities
of party politics. We sometimes find that even
our municipal struggles nearly got the better of us
How might it be when the bone to be fought for
would be a seat Id Congress? The subject must
have careful consideration.
I understand that a letter of a most elevated and
complimentary nature is being signed by C 2.1310 Of
our most prominent public men and citizens, ex
pressing the hope that Mr. Murdoch, whose recent
engagements hero were such intellectual triumphs,
will visit no as soon as ho can. Such a letter will, 1
doubt not, be highly gratifying to Mr. Murdoch,
and probably will have the effect of Inducing him
to comply with the request made in so graceful a
manner and by mach a number of distinguished

HARRIOBWRO. Fsb.lB,
The Legislature yesterday visited Millersville, three

were received by a large concourse of citizens, and two

ARTIIUR HUGHES,
Health Olfioor.
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.

Th o Rev. A. A. Willits, of Philadelphia,
lectured before the Young bferri Christian Asso

on Thursday evening last. There was a respecta
ble attendance—for Reading. 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. Willits will be found hard
to beat.—Berkt and Sehn ylkill Journal.
