ID, 1856 The Senate was occupied to-day wholly with the speech of Senator Wilson. He spoke two hours and a half, and never made a .speech heller adopted to the place and the times li was bold, and 'eloquent.— Ilercterred to the ungenerous reference made by Gen, Cass in his recent speech to Senator Sumner, and remarked lhat goon his colleague would be returned to the seal (which was now vacani) by the almost unanimous verdict of the people of Massachusetts, white the Sen olnr from Michigan, in obedienceto the voice ofi he sovereign people of his adopted Siale, will be obliged to retire, and the seat .which now knows bun will know him no more for ever. Then, said Mr. Wilson, when my col league shall have occasion to make known his vie«s to the Senate and the country, I know he will not be so Unfair and uncom plaisant as to speak an unkind word of its former occupant. This sharp and deserved reference to tie venerable Senator from Michigan fixed all eyes upon him, but he sat unmoved like a dumb statue. Mr. Brown o( Mississippi obtained the flbur, and the Senile adjourned till Monday. The House was engaged all day on private bills.

In the lasi Argvs, we find on article sug gesting the name of D, R. Atchison, as Gov ernor (or Kansas Territory. We presume that Gov. Geary will resign IfJudgeLe comple isnof removed; at least we under stood that lobe his position. That is, that the laws of Kansas must be administered to suit him, making the judiciary his creatures, or else he will resign. We apprehend that President Pierce wuuld hardly remove Judge Lecompte upon the representation of a man who has proven himself -utterly unfit to rule a free people, not even able to rule his own temper; for surely he Is not so stupid as 10 imagine that he hod any legal right .to hold, as prisoner, a person discharged on bail by ihe Judge. Hence,as there is no probability of Judge Lecompte’s removal, wo inler the resignation of the Governor os a mailer ol consequence. I'hat being settled, then, the question o( a successor comes up. Surely it is lime that the experiment of Sending Eas tern men here, to act as Governor of a fron tier Territory, should be abandoned, and the more rational one of appointing a Western man, one acquainted with the character and habits of the pioneer should be tried. Furthermore, -now that the election is over, the wishes or the people of Kansas should be regarded in this matter. Jt is nonsense Tor any one longer to pretend that there is any thing like as large a number of Free-State men, in this Territory, as there are from the Slave States ; even the New York Tribune, and other kindred sheets, acknowledged that Kansas must inevitably come in as a Slave Slate; this being so, surely a Western man, a pro-Slnvery man should be appointed Gov ernor. Gen. Atchison would bd to-day, the choice of three-fourths of all the voters of the Territory for that office. VVe predict, that should he be appointed, there would be no more “ Raids from Missouri,” heard of, and no more outrages in Kansas. Nothing but having Governors who would sympathize with rlte law breakers has kept up a continu al emife for so long a time. Common sense and huamnity demands the change of policy. A Western man for Governor, at all events, and O. 8, Atchison that man, if possible.— What say our brethren of the press. A Northern MbhEbk of Congress said le Henri A.

Wo- therefore Select it as the basis of a “iitllo talk." It speaks with the least concealment of its trepidation and ihe by. bocritical'motor which orges it onward. Its tre mors are pninlhlly apparent; and when it hints at a minister “ nearer home," its modesty whispers audibly—“ Ihe, audacious min at whom we thunder ed three columns of diluted juico of a species of cabbage,” and who withdrew from the contest, we understand, moved by the same considerations that moved the venerable Beecher on a si/nifoj-.ow"—***- Discourselli lliß mU‘— <*tcsaia: -one person's political, opinions are as sacred as another's, and whenever a minister of the Gospel takes advantage of tiis rx.parie position in the palpil to denounce lire principles or Candidates of a part of his heaters, who have -assembled upon the Sabbath in the temple Dedicated to the worship of a living God, they have good cause of offence." The editor's premiss is a bare assumption, unsup ported by either adduced evidence or apparent fact A moderately endowed individual, even, knows that observation completely annihilates the foundation of Ills argument. To suppose that one opinion is as sacred as another; is to first assume Dial all opinions pnscss equal endowment of virtue and intelligence. The acknowledged rule is, that that opinion which, being tlio product of intelligent thought, conforms to the universally recognized standard of High), is entitled to the greatest consideration among civil ized men. Nor docs this rule interfere with freedom of opinion; as, under its operation, every man is led to enjoy and promulge his opinions with just Lite degree of success which merit entitles them to. i Boston. Were the world to recognize no difference in opin ions—to treat them with equal consideration—man could not advance one step. Progress would die the death. Then, .Ihe political opinions of a Nero and a Caligula should receive equal consideration and challenge equal respect with those ol the Athenian economist and Cincinnalus.

No class of men are raorp alive to human suffering Ilian the conduc tors ol newspapers. And because the lives of such are on/emitling straggles from the moment they en ter the ranks until they leave them, or lie down in their winding sheets.

Some times the innocent must suffer with the guilty, bat not in this ease. Wo are the criminals if they do. We protest against this matter being referred to a Committee. We are each responsible according to the abundance allotted us. Committees may do to keep up appearances; for progress they are wor-c than nothing—riders. Let each stretch out his hand and find something to do; and having found, no it. Under the head of “Blasphemous Wretch,” a |, r 0 slavery paper before ns, says: “ The Reverend B. H.

The question with us is, will the Southern Democrats suffer Black Republicans to throw the waters of Lethe in their eyes, and then, with polluted hands nod unholy, purpose, bear off fforn the shrioe of Southern liberty one of her fairest daughters, who hopes to par ticipate in the festivities of a Southern con stbutional democratic victory in 1860 1 They will hardly sutler Kansas to be prostituted to the unrighteous degrading purpose of unclean abolitionists. If they do, perhaps, the good Lord may forgive them, « for they knowelh not what they do.” — Lecojipte.— This, modern Scroggs has been it seems, at length removed from the po sition he bas so long held, lo the, disgrace of the bench and, its it is, reported, James 01 Harrisop of Lexitjglbn, Ky„ is, appointed in his plyce, VVo are rejoiced that we are ahjq lo.lhapjr Mr. Pierce fo( one act, of his admin-, islraiion, The, change be for the belter; il can t be for the vvorso. 1 , r ,|ifr.,Pierce,.in his selection appears, however,, lo have acted upon a principle adopted early iift his admin islraiion/v its:-to appoint to office in nil cases where it is possible, men who at the same time than hey art his,own political friends, have been rejected by the people.

The details of bis brother’s death ore known. If-the poor fellow who died is fairly represented by the survivor, of which I etw lertain no doubt, be was a noble fellow; He has perished, a martyr to the cause of Liber ty in. a land once supposed to be “tie land of Liberty." Beside the remains of the gallant shourbre, in ihe little graveyard at Law rence, be sleeps among the gallant dead of Kansas. A more than Spartan courage animates the breasts of this people, It in displayed no! less in their power of endurance than in their intrepidity in the hour of danger. Said oae who had fought at Franklin, Whereat) are so ttfave, it is bard making any distinction.” And said another,. “ It isbard bringing our Yankees, who bnv» alKtbeir lives tong been accustomed (6 such different.! hinge, to the fighting point; but when you once get them there, they are just four to one oftheother*." One old man from Indiana, over sixty years of age,, during the attack on Lawrence, was observed running about the streets begging oC every man he met fora gun. Sincejihattmiehe bos been always on band, in one of the en gagements a ball struck the wheel ofthe'car riage beside which be was standing, passing just by him. “i believe,” said be, very quietly raising bis gun, “ those blamed fel lows are firing at me,” nnd with that he blax , ed away volley after volley, without betraving the slightest emotion of fear. A few nights since forty of the prisoners look the liberty of marching out of quarters through a hole which some mechanical member ofthe firm had constructed in the wall. They had agreed to pass out in regular successions; the nearest to the hole first, and so in order qaThey lay. When the old man's, turn came, be positively lelused, saying, “ They have pul me in legally, and now let them lake me out in the same way.” ■> Mr. Parrot, esq., their counsel, informs me that of the twenty convicted ones, thirteen an graduate* of college *; and these men-are condemned to four years' hard labor on the highway, with ball and chain attachments to .limbs—ibe barbarous jewelry of slave -propagandist]). Do the North mean to sub mit to this ? One ot the number, Lam also informed, has been an officiating clergyman. Of all the accursed histories of crime, this Kansas record is the blackest. It has damned one Administration. Let the next look to its programme, or an indignant and outraged people itvill dispose of this whole question bv a method more direct and pointed than (be ballot-box. h is bui just to Governor Geary to snv that he seems disposed to net fairly, So man ever had a more difficult pan to perform.— His course in the matter of David Buffiim's murder is worthy of all praise. Here were no Free-State witnesses of the act who could identify the murderer. Geary o tie red $5OO reward immediately; had the man arrested and confined. Lecompte released him. Gearv rearrested him. 'And now it is said Lecompte has again set him free. Geary holds no in tercourse with this creature Lecompte; and it is reported he has declared that either his head or Lecompte’s must be brought to the block. With all its sad history, Kansas « still the center of attraction. As fast as the advan tages of-its soil and climate are discovered, emigrants will turn aside from all other fields for this. Say to the women of the North (hat their gifts are the salvation of Kansas. iaidone intelligent but poor woman to me to-dav : “I do not know how we should have got along at all this Winter if those things had not come. “It is-surprising 100, how every thing seems lo.fit,” said another. And in many a cabin blessings are invoked upon the heads of the sympathizing contributors. A constant stream ofapplicants besiege the Committee-room for relief. I fear that many of the most deserving will fail through over* much modesty'in gelling that relief which was intended for them, A world of wont yet remains to be done both here and at the Last. Among the good things yet to be done for this Territory is the distribution of seeds. I hope the friends of Kansas who wish to ad vance her material interests in one of the most substantial ways will think of this, and send (o my address in New-York package* of all sorts of desirable seeds, <* both useful andor oamental.” Now that our hands are in, lei us see what we can do to enhance the natur al attraction of Ihis Edeo of the continent. ■ 1 expect to be in Nbw-York about the Ist of January, and to return about the Ist Feb ruary, if the friends at tho North will place hi bands the requisite aid. On again reaching the.Teiritory, 1 propose a thorough canvass of it. A-fine opportunity will thus be pro 'settled for distributing the seeds I speak of. Allow me to suggest that a general suti scription for Kansas be taken on New-Year's Day through all. the North universally. Let all give, and give with willing, hearts. Tho inhabitants of this Territory are pledged to s man, and I may add tan woman, 100, that Kansas shall bb FAgb ! The battle will be just os eternal as the Slavdryites choose to have it.
