Th* Northern member of Con grass who supports - the Administration, In its efforts to perpetuate the institution of Slavery in Kansas, cannot screen himself from the deserted censure of the people, on tie miserable plea that he acted in ignorance of-public sentiment. - the feeling of the popular heart on this momentous question, aere is no room for a single doubt. The Administration and its minions a? on one side, and the great mass of (he Norton poople ore on the other aid*. The iasnels direct and plain; and it would be well for every Northern “democrat” in Congress to look at it right in the face. Should & representative, overcome by his party prejudices, or his fears of giving of fence to the fountain-head of gorernment pa* tronage, conclude to snpportnhe Wrong against the Bight—a mere party name against a Great Principle—lethim count well the cost of the step he is about to take. The position once assumed cannot be recalled; and that position wilHn volve his political and social degradation, or there is neither intelligence in the ceuntry nor virtue aipong the peqple. Lecompton will be political death to any Northern man, whether President or Congressman, who arrejs himself under its dusky banner. lie support is treason to the prevailing sentiment in the most import ant section of the country—treason to the pa iriollo instincts of the American people—treason to the great cause of Humanity and Religion. Let no man, therefore, without due reflection as to the consequences, place himself in an attitude; of opposition to all these sentiments. The peo ple in their sovereign capacity may be slow in their wrath, but their vengeance is not, on that, account, less terrible, effectual and overwhelm -ing-in the end. Every -Northern constituency’s honor and reputation are at stake, in the pun ishment of recreant and f aithlesarepresentatlves. It is a dnty the people owe to the country to see thievery traitor, surrounded though he maybe by the rewards of his treason, should Be sent into a perpetual and an ignominious retirement. Let them sink under the weight of a People's curse, and -Wither under the blight of a People’s scorn. The precarious an% uncertain support of a corrupt and. unscrupulous Administration, may strengthen the renegade for a brief period of time—but it will only delay, as© sot avert, the fide in reserve for hip. It is a consoling and heart-cheering reflection that, while our rulers may be tyrannical and insolent, and thus abuse the privileges of their position, the People* after all, is .the sovereign power. Tho North American (Philadelphia) thus re views the porition of the parties, in this contest, between the friends of Freedom and the advo cates of Slavery, and its effect on those Northern - democrats who snbunt to the dictation of Bu chanan and his Southern allies: “How, if the Administration'chooses, let it posh the Lecompton hill through by such devi ces os see disclosed in the action just taken by the House and Senate committees. It i 9 not impossible that the offices yet to bestow are good for the two or three- majority against it in the bat we shall Hdve the pleasure of seeing very clearly where the specific operates. Every day adds facilities for the closest criticism, and both parties are alike keenly observant. Demo crats have resolved that this be the last coarse of decapitation for tKe simple exercise of manly consistency in sustaining their own doc trines. We ■should do the highest injustice to so large a body of men not to suppose that the ex igencies of their party for a few years past have fatigued them not a little. New Hampshire fell, out of line at the moment iwhen a President was i dispensing official kingdoms to its representa tives as the price of allegiance to his suicidal policy, and democratic representatives from that State-are known, and to-be known to the country generally no more. ‘Maine has since gone the same fatal road, never to return. Bhode Island, Connecticut, and New Tork, are only leas deci ded examples, in which a **Lecpmpton H man will never come before the people anywhere. In New Tork the deepest gratification the sink ing of the Barnburners, which labile fraction will hereafter, be scarcely less odious than the lecompton faction simple. In all the West there is no question and no doubt; Michigan has fol lowed New Hampshire, end we come back to Pennsylvania for the closing act of the drama. Let those who watched the decline and fall of Hew Hampshire hnd its President, attend to the parallel phenomenon now in progress here, and mark oar prediction that, two yean hence, a vote as sweeping will efface the Lecompton pol icy, its men and its memories, as that which' swept the northern States and saw the policy of the democratic party inits true light 105 G.. Now is the tfm« tn* -w*- » -• ences, end other Northern recreants, mnst ar rive, sec ore in power and position as they may now- feel. This ,ns indeed a great consolation, and it enables us, accordingly, to regard their present coarse with something like patience and compos are. _ Thß DiTFICOLTY. BBTWkaa SPAtS uft Mexi co sBTTtxo. —The Havana correspondent of the New York Time* announces that._the long-ex isting difficuUiea>between Spain and Mexico have-been peaceably adjusted. This is good for Mexico, as with her internal troubles, grow ing oat of the plotting of wicked priests and ambitious generals, she was in no condition to engage in a foreign war. It is true the fight between the two n&'tions would have been bat a feeble display of strength on both sides. At this time, however, the result would have been disastrous to Mexico. The Times alludes to the origin of these difficulties, in an article on that subject, In the course of which it says :—“Our readers will remember that the immediate cause of the quarrel was the assassination and indis .criminate plunder of Spanish subjects in Mexi co by the soldiers of General Alvare*. The Mexican Government, when an explanation and indemnity were demanded, pretended that the murdered Spandiards had participated in the revolutionary contest then going on. From this position, however, they subsequently receded, ymt the punishment they inflicted, upon the parties concerned in the outrage appeased the Spanish wrath, and prepared the way y for settlement that has just taken place. The ro tations between Spain-and Msxlco, for many years past, have been unfriendly. Long out standing claims which the latter refused or neg lected to pay, had embittered the animosity which, the two nations have felt for each other since their political separation. , Bat It was only thelast cause of complaint that threatened actual war, and brought a Spanish fleet to Mex ican waters. Though Spain was itching to whip her feeble antagonist, there were complications in the question that she dared not overlook.’' Bmoonacj dytsq out.—We learn from the ' Washington Republic thatsioce the Ist o?'Jan uary* t* l ™ thousand school houses, have been built in the state of _ Illinois.

V' 4 % <§astie.! ; TO* Wall.—The Post of yesterday morn ing contained a leader upon “Southern Inso lence.” The lone of the whole article may bo gathered from the following extract: “We hare had to yield so much—we hare had to swallow, so many 'things which were distoste .ful tons, for the sake of preserving the first great democratic principle of national unity, and for the sake of-political peace with our brethren of the South, that at the least we should be spo ken of by them in terms of respect: We hare taken our conservative position os much for their sake as our own, and have a just right to eom plain when they treat us with overbearing inso lence, and speak of us in terms of contumely and defiance.” how we acknowledge that our advice in this matter may seem officious, and therefore unwel come, but when we hear manhood speaking ont in a party organ, even though it be in “bated tone,” we feel for it, and may be excused for overstepping the strict bounds of modesty in 'yielding unsought sympathy and counsel. We say then to our:esteemed contemporary and po litical antagonist that you may yield and yield 'as long as-you please “for political peacethere is no peace in that direction. Come out and stand up for the rights which we all, as free men, arc born to; trample under your feet the prestfht dishonoring behests of party; spurn the demands upon your manhood which slavery re iterates with the knout always suspended as if to strike, and all these ; “Gorgon*, Hjrdrsa and Cliimoras dire” that beset your path, will disappear.

Editora Gazette: There was an informal Re publican meeting at Herr’s Hotel last night. There were a large number of prominent Repub licans present from different parts of the State. Among the most prominent were Stevens, Todd, Covode, Palmer, Thomas, Moorhead, of Indi ana, and nearly all the Republican members of both branches. I presume there wero in all about seventy-five or eighty porsona present.— The Convention assembled at 8 p. 31. in the after noon, and after a lengthy interchange of views a committee of seven was appointed to present a series of resolutions to an adjourned meeting lo be held at half-past 8 p. id. The committee reported at the proper time, and afler some discussion a substitute was offer ed by Mr. Stevens, which was adopted. This substitute instructs the Slate Central Committee not to call a Convention until after, the Ist of Jnly, ahd to publish a call inviting all to as semble in Convention who are opposed to “the spread of despotism and the extension of human slavery. ’*• The substitute with applause, and the Convention adjourned sine die.

Piolett, a Mr- Elward, Mister Overton and several of small calibre, are here from Susquehanna compres sing the passage of a bill to oust Judge WilmoL Of so much importance is the movement that the Democratic Senators are holding a caucus about it this afternoon. I am writing in the Senate Chamber, and whilst 1 write, Buckalew has come out of-the Committee Room to get a copy 6f the Constitution. It is evident that there is dptibt prevailing among them relative to their constitutional power-to pass an act. But they also hne nature and character of the action they should take upon ; the Kansas questions The Senate Committee has been summoned Jo-night to meet at the room of Bockalew, the'-chairman, in order to consider the report which they will make. The-rcsult of the caucus deliberations has not yet transpired. Several of the Democratic Sen ators have absolutely refused to communicate that result to the'eorreapemdents of their own political frith and also to members of the House. They had passed a resolution of secrecy. They will hafaa'good time if they succeed in keeping it from Hkh members of the press until midnight. I have sever yet been foiled, and do not intend .to be, bya locofoco caucus. I. have just heard that no decisive action was token, because the caucus was not full. These ore all the matters of importance which have transpired to-day outside o.f actual legisla tion. I send enclosed a copy of the calender and also the bills interesting the West which were read in place. r. •Washimotos, Feb 21, 1858—There ia an un expected, and it may bo insurmountable diffi culty to the speedy executiod of the programme of Senator Green and (be Lecomptonites. It was their intemion, and is still, so far as 1 1 can learn, to press Lhe Lecompton Constitution through the Senate without (he least delay, and then, that it shall be as hurriedly rushed through the House. Unfortunately for.theo, however, there exists the widest difference of construction amongst the Lecomptonites in respect to the power of the people of Kanmm to friter and amend their frame of State Govern ment prior to 1864, the time which it prescribes. Some Northern Democrats, who have gone with them thus far, refuse to go one step further, unless the people there are empowered by law, in a manner-admitting no contrariety of opinion to throw, off the incubus of a hateful Constitu tion, which nobody pretends to support, as embodying the “consent of thegoverned ” The '’'nthern men, the followers of the Rich rnth, (he New^Qrlgsgu^t^^^imiiigi .own Afercury —who" at^thebeginning tchanan’s Administration, reviled him la ray, impaling the most impropor motives *iiB public acta—now that they see a chance of securing Kansas os a slave State,, advocates his Wannaa policy, and refaso to make the slightest concession the other side, each moment fearful that the prize wil slip away from their gra&p. Calhoun, only a few days ago their idol, to whom they offered up all praise, is, by his recent letter, consigned by them po ever lasting infamy; they hate him for evincing a willingness to correct the fraudulent' returns from Delaware Crossing when the fraud had been made as clear as day' to everybody. One wing of the- Lecomptonites then insist upon a declaration in the lav against the 18G4 vision, while the other wing as strenuously resist it. 'To heal this division in the yanks at' this critical moment was tho xhoving cause for tho call of a Democratic caucus which was post poned, and when it assembled at last, gave by its debate no hope of a compromise on this point It was again colled for Wednesday last, bat no ground having been gained toward the object sought, it was postponed to the call of the chairman. There is an overwhelming majority, when the question comes squarely before the House, who will vote in a.provision empowering the people of Kansas to change their Constitution whenever they please to do so, and when this shall be done, and the question will recur on Lecompton, as amended, there will be arrayed against its passage a large number of Southern members. Under the circumstances, no Northern member can refase to vote for such a provision, least of all can they when their constituents understand the position assumed by Toombs, of Georgia, and others in the House as well as ia the Sen ate. If Lecompton, say they undiggoisedly, be the Constitution under which Kansas shall be admitted as a State into the Union, then slave institutions for. the next six years are implanted there, to grow and fasten themselve? updn all matters of domestio policy, regardless and un affected by the popular voice. They are there by supremo law, and to touch them is to inau gurate revolution and aggression upon the South, against which Southern States will do more than clamor. It is rumored that one or two Louisiana mem bers have joined the onti-Lecompton ranks.— Cor. PJiila. Prw. Republican State Cohvbhtio*.— A Conven tion oJkdelegates representing the city of Phila delphia, and many of the counties of this Com monwealth, assembled at Herr’s Hotel, Harris burg, on Monday, -2d inst. The Convention was organized by appointing John Adams Fisher, Esq., of Dauphin county as Chairman and. Geo. S. King, Esq., of Cambria county, os Secretary. After such organization, and a full Interchange of opinions among the following Preamble and Resolutions were intro duced, read, fully discussed, adopted and order ed to be published. Whereas, It is desirable that allthose opposed to the misrule of the National Administration, and especially to its atrocious allempt to force Slavery upon Kansas against the wjll of the peo ple, should unite at the ensning election on the State and County tickets, without regard to dif ferences of opinion on other subjects, and with out regard to the mode or form of effecting said object: therefore. Resolved, That the Slate .Committee, of whloh Lemuel Todd, Esq., is Chairman, be requested do call-a Convention of oil those willing to unite to effect the above object, to be held at Harris burg, on some day not earlier than the first of July next. * . • Boohed, That such call should distinctly 4late that, in thus invitingACo individual or party is .expected to sacrifice any principle, nor to approve of any principle of those with whom hearts', sa th ing only tamest and practical kotlilUy to political despotism, and the extension of hitoum slavery over tie free territories of this Republic.
