there is a specific direction or limitation, you SCENES
are bound by that. What is the use of making Private Life of
a plan, or Constitution, at all, if it does not ,
bind?
After the highest power has passed up on a
Constitution and adopted it in all its parts, can
any but that sovereign power annul any provis
ion it contains? Can ever that power do it any
other way than that which it has voluntarily im
posed upon itself? If it does, it resorts to revo
lution, and throws aside peaceful constitutional
change.
Mr. President, take the case of the constitu•
tional amendments adopted in. this State last fall
After two sessions of the Legislature have declar
ed for a particular chdnge, and it has been rati
fied by a majority vote the constitution is altered
accordingly. But suppose it had not been so
submitted, would not the people—would not you
and
_1 say that the Constitution had not been
specifically followed ? Would we not all agree in
declaring that these amendments had no binding
force because the spe,ific mode pointed out iu
the Constitution for its own amendment had not
been followed? So say lin regard to the Con
stitution of Kansas. There being a remedy and
the time fixed, and the speculation made by the
Constitution, they (the people of Kansas) arc
bound by these thiegea and there can be no change,
made until 1864. Therefore, sir, I regard the
proposed grant of authority for the alteration of
the Constitution before the proscribed pm iod as
a snare and a delusion too palpable to deceive
the most unwary. Those therefore, who arc en
snared by the delusion exhibited in the report of
the committee of thirteen—and here is one of
their mistakes I would not have made hall been on
the committee, and which I have stated, and not
as a lawyer, but in the plainest possible matinee
there, every man who hears me can understand
Again : all admit that the Lecomptou Consti
tution should be changed. No one is so hardy
as to risk his reputation in defeeee Of the pro
visions it contains. If all, tliirefere, admit the
allegation that it should be changed, such ad
mission is proof positive that it aught to be
changed. This very statement proves that it is
not right, that its provisions are obnoxious, and
therefore that Congress ought not to fen se it
upon Kansas.
While your committee pi epee a cluing:
while they propose to iris,' t a provision int' the
Constitution, giving ii people the right
change it at pleasure, iiod nut to wait until 1 Seol
—the Constitution it , If, es It came from the
hands of Makors, permits no such chaag,,
They, therefore, not only violate the true ult. at
and meaning of the instrument, but they th,.o
advise you to accept of a constitution containing
provisions which are radically wrong They
• advise you to do a wrong, and accept a bundle
i • of wrongs, because the fraud may be cured and
the wrongs righted, as they allege, no a short
time. But, sir, haw can you or your party go
to the country upon such a record as that'.'
Can you appeal successfully, as in past times,
upon the purity and strength of Democratic
prinoiplee' No, sir, OW lIU , SSPe understand the
question well It has horn thoroughly discussed,
and they perceive at once the difference between
the great principle which underlies this whole
question, and the series of mere expediencies up ,u
which the report el the committee is babcil
Are we to steal our neighlioi's horse, and after
the wrong is accomplished, endeavor to cure
Had we better not steal the horse in the first
place, so that no wrong will have titan d el a. ,
which needs curing,'!'This i+ precisely the el,ll
ditiou of thin question. We had bettor vominit
no error in the firs; place,iend thou we shall
havviso need to rectify the injustice of the on
ginal act.
Mr. President., J am heal tily ashamed of my
self. I have already occupied too much of yoni
time. I must hasten on to a close. But there
is a radical principle which overrides all quen
tions of expediency. I think, sir, that principle
is the right of the majority to rule, practically
exhibited iu the popular governments, and
.1 think the Democratic party is strong, and has
achieve! its past triumph, not by studied expedi
ency, but by principle; and 1 think the instant
we abandon that glorious principle we are lust
and gone forever.
Mr. President, 1 desire that,,in coming as in
past contests, we shall behold the success, the
glorious triumph, of our flag; and therefore I ate
not to be controlled by your elcquencti,
much
less seduced by it frbui the path which the clear
convictions of duty and principle poirt out
(Applause )
In regard to the first four propositions in the sill,
stitute fur the report of the committee which I had
the honor to submit, I would say they wore taken
from the works of Algernon Sydney; him whose
bead was cut off for advocating the principles of
English liberty. And I am told that I ani to have
mine cut off. [Great laughter.)
Now, sir, we have changed thei turd° of doing
these things. Ile was led to the sculold in the light

manliness to dispose of him in that way. But 11 , 4,

BREAD.—It is said that one of the most whole
some kinds of bread that can be used is made
thus, without salt, snleratus, yeast, or raising of
any sort; "Take bolted or unbolted flour or
meal ; thoroughly moisten the whole with pure
soft water, scalding hot., that is about one littn
dred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit ; make it up
firm, not sticky ; then roll and cut into :•trir . :,
or any other form, not over a quarter of an tub
thick, and half an inch broad. Bake quickly in
a hot oven, until the dough has acquired a ti,fl,
fine, brown color, or until the water has neatly
all evaporated." Ilydropathists say that a twe. t
er bread than this was never tasted. Ii certain-
- -
ly is pure bread, cannot sour, will keep a1r11 , .1
indefinitely; and if made of unbolted tlour,tons ,

can be prepared. But people will not uoe it,

But why talk of the struggles of insignificant
antelopes, graceful though they be, when there
is the contest of the more savage tiger, the un
wieldy rhinoceros, or the gigantic elephant to de
scribe ? s The partridges, the quails, the crows,
the cocks, the trained rams and antelopes, are
but the child's play to these exhibitions ; two
tigers tearing each other, two rhinoceroses rip
ping each other up with their knife-like horns,
two elephants in a death struggle, are the seri
ous acts of these tragic comedies, or comic trag
edies, or simple tragedies, if the benevolent read
er will hay , ' it so—the others being merely the
unimportant by play, the lighter and the more
trilling incidents.
When the two tigers, properly prepared for
the contest by being kept without food and wa
ter for some days previously, were introduced
into the strongly-railed and barricaded enclo
sure, a pin dropping in the court yard might al
most have been heard. Expectation stood on
tiptoe to know what would be the result.
There was a famous tiger—a monster of a ti
ger—named Kagra, who had triumphed at Luck
now on several occasions. He was certainly one
of the largest 1 have ever seen ; and beautifully
streaked was his glossy coat, as it moved freely
over his muscular limbs and long back. The
connoisseurs in sport had despaired of finding a
tilting adversary for Kagra, when news arrived
that a tiger of enormous size and strength had
been taken uninjured in the Terai—the long
strip of juugle lind between Dude and Nepaui,
just at the foot of the Himalayas. It was intic
it ated that there would be glorious sport when
tint , now men-Qor was brought face to face with
the redoubted Kagra.
The cages of Kagra and Terai-wallah were
brought. to opposite sides of the court yard, both
commanded by our position in the gallery. We
could see the long shining backs of the tiger as
they roamed round their cages in great excite
ment ; occasionally there was a snarl and a dis
play of teeth alarming to witness, as some at
tendant approachad the cages. It was intended
that the animals sh °lib! become aware of the
presence Of each other, and hence the previous
delay ; for, ferocious as the tiger is, he is a cow
artily animal, and, if brought uuexectedly into
the presence of danger, may cower and retreat
front the contest. 1 have seen two of them,
properly prepared, that is. both hungry and
thirsty, when bounding into the enclosure, each
ignorant that another tiger was iu the vicinity,
do their utmost to got baok into their cages, and,
failing that, slink away to a corner, crouch down
there upon their bellies, and watch each other
intently, indisposed to hostility.
It was evident that Kagra and the Terai wal
lah were soon aware of each other's vicinity ;
for as they prowled round, they would stand and
growl and show their teeth at the opposite cage
in an eminently tiger-like manner. The com
mander in chief and the resident had inspectet
both of them previously
4 ‘ On which of them will your excellency bet

au Eastern King. TR
" DIIELLO -PARTRIDGES TO TIGERS."
asked the king as ho saw the commander-in chic.
watching them intently.
" Your majesty will, perhaps pardon me," said
the general. The Company were wroth with the
king because his territory was in so much con
fusion and disorder, so the commander-in-chief
would not bet with him.
" A hundred gold mohurs on the Kagra," said
the king, turning to the resident.
" hone, your majesty ; I think the Terai-wal
lah is the more likely to succeed," was the resi
dent's answer.
The king rubbed his hands with glee. He was
now beginning to enjoy the •eituation.
" Will you bet on the Terai-wallah ?" he asked
his prime minister eagerly in Hindustani.
" My lord the resident is always right; I will,
sire," was the prime minister's reply— prime
minister in name only, it must be remembered,
but a man of great wealth ; the European bar
ber, then standing among the king's suite, was
the real prime-minister.
"A hundred gold moLturs, then on Kagra,"
said his majesty.
The prime minister accepted the bet, and took
out a very elegant little tablet from his belted
cashmere shawl to make a note of the transac
tion. Not that he intended to remind his ma
jesty of it, had his majesty chosen to forget ;
but in case his majesty should say he had bet
on Kagra, he would be able to show the entry
made at the time, and express timidly a doubt
whether " the refuge of the world " might not
have been correct and he wrong. Ah, and he
would pay his hundred gold mohurs too, if " the
refuge of the world " insisted that he had bet on
the Terai-wallah : pay it smiling, and then re
pay himself by squeezing a little harder than
usually—only a little—the next rich delinquent
that passed through.his hands.
The stranger—the Terrai- Wallah as he was
-ealled.was taken especial care of; and it was
on the occasion of the visit of the commander-in- -
chief of the Anglo Indian army to the King of
Dude that the contest was to take place. More
than ordinary pains were taken to render the
spectacle imposing. The court yard in which
the battle was to be taught was richly decorated
with leaves and flowers, with all that brilliancy
of coloring and taste in its distribution for which
the natives of India are so deservedly famous.
The gallery to receive the King and his court,
the commander in chief and his staff, was elab
orately ornamented with gilding and flags The
royal canopy—umbrella shaped—of crimson and
gold tissue, was raised above the state-chair :
while similar seats of honor were prepa!red on
(flitter hand for the commander in chief and the
resident. The king wore his crown on the occa
sion; it was a new one, only lately made, with
au elaborate display of jewelry, and a beautiful
heron', plume of snowy whiteness bending grace
fully over it. He could act with dignity when
he liked and the contrast between the rich,
though softened, umber color of his countenance,
and the glittering jewels, and the delicate
was very imposing and pleasing to look upon.
He wore on this occasion his oriental dress, formed
of the glittering kincobs of China—silk of gel'
like and silver like appearance, glancing w;
every movement like burnished jewerly.
a spectacle not easilyglergotten. Such a scene
will live robustly in the memory when a thousand
more important events have faded into forgetful
ness. The commander in-chief wore his general
uniform; the resident was dressed in his plain
clothes . .
The signal was given—the bamboo railing in
front of the cages rose simultaneously on either
Side—the doors of the cages opened. Term Wal
lah sprang, with a single bound, out of his cage
opening his huge jaws widely, and shaking from
side to side his long tail in an exciting way.—
Kagra advanced more leisurely into the arena,
but with similar demonstrations. They might
have been fifty feet apart, as they stood survey
ing each other, open-mouthed, the tails playing
tll the time.
At length Kagra advanced a few paces ; his
adversary laid himself down forthwith upon :he
court-yard, just where he stood, facing him, nut
with his feet well under him, not extended, evi
dently quite prepared for a spring. Kagra
watched his foe intently,but not in a straight
rather toward the side, describing an arc of a
circle as he drew near.
The Torah Wallah soon rose to his feet and
likewise advanced, describing a similar arc on
the opposite side, both gradually approaching
each other, however. It was a moment of breath
less suspense in the gallery. Every eye was fix
ed on the two combatants as they thus tried to
circumvent each other; it was enough to arrest
the attention, for the tigers were unusually
large; both were in beautiful condition, plump
!Lod muscular ; the color of the Terai Wallah was
somewhat lighter than that of Kagra, a more
yellowish hue shone between the stripes. Both
were very beautiful, and very courageous, and
very formidable.

duty as an editor, for it does appear to me that
if you would join the editor of the Daily Union
in his efforts to remove the ignorance of the
Democrats in relation to the Lecompton Consti

that it is in accordance with the doctrine of pop
ular sovereignty to impose a Constitution upon
a free people after it has been submitted to a fair

ther, in defiance of an almost unanimous rejec

and in opposition to the protestation of her legal
representation in Congress. It is to he hoped,

TEIE 'IRIENNIAL ASSIsISSPIENT.
This being the year of the triennial assess
ment, it is a matter of interest to the tax
payers to see to it, that evils which have
heretofore been loudly complained of, are if
possible, in some measure remedied. Equality
of taxation is a fundarbental principle of our
system of government, bat in years past it is
beyond dispute that there has been a most
unequal and' unfair system of assessment.
The system which has been heretofore adopted,
if system it can be called, has been " one
grand humbug," so far as equality is concern
ed. While one set of men, residing in the
cities have been taxed to the last lintit of en
durance, our country friends with their large
and valuable - estates have not been required
to render their fair proportion of tribute. All
this is wrong, and arises in some measure from
the election of persons to be assessors who
have "an axe to grind," and strive to ren
der themselves popular by making low
valuations at the expense of justice and their
own consciences. In the city, property is as
sessed at at least one'third its cash value,
while in most of the country districts it is
not assessed at one-tenth its value, and in
in both city and country, instances might be
cited where assessors have made fish of their
friends and flesh of their enemies. We are
aware that there is a supposed difference in
the income between city and country property,
but even admitting that this difference is a
fair element in making assessments, it does not
amount to any thing like the. the difference
which the assessor's lists exhibit.
In both city and country, there are differ%
ences made in assessing property in the same
neighborhood, which are difficult to be ac
counted for upon any principle of justice and
fair dealing. The subject we are aware, is a
difficult and a delicate one. The assessors
are sworn officers and esteemed to be honest
men, but each is le/ to make his assessment
upon a system of his own. We think it
would be well if the county commissioners
would adopt a system of assessment, by which
all the assessors should be governed, and
establish a basis of valuation for property,
which, shall result in something approaching
to equality of taxation.
We are perfectly aware of the reason ass
signed for placing property so far below its
real value in assessing it, but the moral hones
ty of requiring sworn officers to make a valua
tion below what they know property is
worth, to keep down the State Treasury,
more than questionable.
The subject is one in which every tax payer
is interested, and we should be pleased to have
some of them send us their suggestions upon
it. Our columns are open to any communi
cations of a reasonable length, and now - is
the time to remedy the evil, if at all, before the
triennial assessment shall be proceeded w Ith.
Appointments by the Governor
In the Senate, on Thursday, a message Was
received from the Governor, nominatibg Jcseph
Enen as Recorder of the city of Pb,tladelph - la,-to

nomination unanimously.
The Governor has also appointed George M'

The New York Defalcation
The defalcation in the Union Bank has
proved even more serious than was at first an
ticipated. From an examination of the books
as far back as 1856, the officers have discovered
that $145,000 has been embezzeled. Jacob
U. Mott, a broker doing business in Front
street, was brought before Mayor Tiemann
yesterday, charged with being an accomplice
of the fugitive defaulter, and was held for ex ,
amination. The police have been unable to
find any clue to the whereabouts of the prin
cipal in the case—B. K. Brotherton—bnt
seem quite sanguine of his ultimate capture.
Literary and Scientific Expedition
Mr. T. F. Meagher sailed on Saturday last
for Aspinwall, en route Central America,
which he visits for the purpose of collecting
materials for lectures and writing on that
country. He is accompanied by Don Ramon
Paez, son of General Paez, of Venezuela, an
accomplished geologist,botanist and draughts
man. Mr. Paez will undertake the scientific
and artistic portion of the work, and Mr.
Meagher the literary. These gentlemen will
return from their expedition in about three
months, and lay the interesting result of their
experience before the publio.
REV. T. MULLEN, will lect4re on the eve ,
ning of St. Patrick's, Day, in the Catholic
Church at Johnstown for the benefit of the suffer
ing poor. He has chosen a singular but not in
appropriate theme. " Give the Devil his due."
The Rev. gentleman is an admirable lecturer,
and will no doubt give the " gentleman with
the split foot " his deserts.
—A series of heavy forgeries have been ob
served in Boston. It seems that John A. Mahan,
grocer, on Long wharf, has signed the name of
his uncle, Benjamin F. Mahan, to some fifteen
notes, amounting in all to $12,300. These notes
have been negotiated at the banks, or by brokers .
On Friday two of them went to protest, when the
forgery was discovered. They have all been ne
gotiated in the brief period of six weeks. The
forger disappeared I ast Friday, but on Saturday
night he returned to his home, where be was ar
rested. No clue can be found to the manner in
which he has spent the money.
—After all the New York Police are a sorry
set. On Monday night last, the second story of
the importing warehouse of Messrs. Richard
Lookham &Co., was entered by burglars, and
300 pieces of silk, valued at $15,000, were stolen.
The police knew nothing about it until they were
notified in the morning, and have been unable
to obtain any trace of the goods.
The French Conspirators.
The trial of the conspirators against the life
of Napoleon resulted in their conviction. Orsini
Rudio and Pierri confessed the crime with
which they were charged, and were sentenced
to suffer death. Gomez persisted in assevera
ting his innocence, but was sentenced to penal
servitude for life. A large number of arrests
had been made in Paris, and three English
men had been arrested in Genoa, charged with
complicity with the assassins.

Mr. Hunter concluded his remarks on the Kansas
bill, by saying, that, perhaps at this moment the
heart of Young America is pondering a thing which
'neither the Senator from New York nor I dream of ;
searching out, nursing and guiding the tendeeciee
of the times into the mighty future, and into rose
forms of government. Other great nations are on
gaged in great schemes—playing for the stakes
an empire. the spoils of nations, that have been
accumulating fcr centuries, ere now attracting the
three great powers of Europe. The eagles are pith.
ered to the feast ; but one—the youngest of them—
is absent. Such a state of things cannot - long en
dure. Our instincts of empire forbid it. Kansas
is
dwarfed by the aide of such great issues. If tie
Senator from New. York will lend
.me Iris tripod, I
will undertake to prophecy that this Union will be
preserved; that respect will still follow the judicial
ermine; that we shall, at some future day, cul (teat,
a spirit of conciliation and harmony, wittieut which
the best part of liberty will bo lost. To realize these
things the American petite roust 01'550 from their
councils the Senator from New York ; they meet be
ware of the asp tLat lurks under the flower of his
rhetoric ; one drop of that venom may bring lethargy
on the brain, and destroy the balance of the empire.
Mr. Kennedy, of Maryland, defined his p

the Kansas• Nebraska Dill, because it repealed the
Missouri Compromise; he was not teepeneilde for
the results that followed that repeal. He was under
no obligations to the Detnocratie party, but having

on this measure, ho felt compelled to accord to them
his support. Ile should vote tor the admission
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, because.
he believed before God that he was acting rightly.
Ile must vote fur ono party or the other; ho could
not vote on national questions with the opposition,
because that party was sectional.
Mr. tirade, of Ohio, spoke on Kansas, defending the
North from charges of aggression on the South, con
tending that the aggressions are all the other way.
In this connection he charged that the seizure el
Texas, and her admission into the Union was a Ile
grant violation t f the Constitution of the United
States, an enormous aggression upoe the rights of
the North. She was admitted with the purpose el
making five slave States, with ten additional Sena
tors, to vote down the' rights of the North. The
Fugitive Slave Law was another aggression on the
tights, honor and pride of the North. It was a badge
of servitude and subjection that cannot bo tolerated
by freemen. The next aggression was the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, for which there was ne
xouse or palliation. There used to be, ho said, a
something called Southern honor, but it was not ex
hibited on this occasion. After replying at length
to Mr. Hammond, and controverting his charges of
Northern aggression, he asked how it was possible
that aggressions should take place, when the whole
Government, for silty years, has been prostrate at
the feet of the South ?
Mr. Wade next entered into an elaborate defence
of the laborers of the North from the aspersions of
Mr. Hammond and others, pointing to their achieve
ments reported in the Patent Office, and elsewhere,
as evidence of their civilization and genius. It was
not on the prostrate necks of such a class, that the
Senator from South Carolina could erect his system
of society. He might as well attempt to make his
bed in bell, or erect his edifice over a volcano. Nor
was it necessary for the South to send its threatened
missionaries North to teach such laborers their power.
They know the value of their votes, their interest in
the State, and all the concerns of good government.
As to the degraded class alluded to by the Senator,
hendmitted their existence, but he contended ehat
they are mostly foreigners, the sweepings of the old
-world, ignorant and vicious, but, nevertheless, good
DemocrataAViliolirincipal supporters of slavery
now found Nele.b.
Mr. Wade tiext passed to the Supremo Court, com
menting on-its Dred Scott decision, rind asserting
that its dicta can bind no one excepting suitors in
our own courts. Addressing himself to Mr. 11am
mend's boast, that slaveholdere had ruled hue nation
for sixty years, he admitted its tenth, but ho con
tended that it was only through the aid of that most
despicable class of men—the Northern doughty-es--
a typo of Men not new in the world, for Moser en
countered' them in the wildernese,•where, turning
from the visible glories of the Almighty, they fell
prostrate to worship an Egyptian calf. These mon
hungered after the flesh pots of Egypt; they were
national men; they were not Northern men with
Southern principles, but Israelites, with Egyptian
principles. Our Saviour' mot with a man of this
class in Judas Iscariot, and Washington and his as
sociates had encountered them frequently. Mr.
Wade then turned to Kansas, and in the course of
hie remarks he alluded to Mr. Toombs' hill, saying
that he had hoard of a curious piece of history about
that; a clause, ho said, was originally attached to
that bill, providing for the submission of the ceneti
tution to the people of Kansas, but when afterwards
debated by the Committee on Territories, at the
house of their chief, it was -trickon out. A Senator,
for peculiar reason—
Messrs. Stuart, Green end others here rose, eller,
Mr. Wade, correcting hituFelf, said he had been in
formed that it might not have been the Comutittc,
on Territories, but other gentlemen. 0'
Several Senators hero stated their impression
to the existence or non existence of such a clause in
the original draft of the bill; most of them believed
that it did not contain such a clause.
Mr. Mason here interposed a statement of lets
that when the Senator from Illinois, as Chairman et
the Committee on Territories, reported the bill since
called the enabling act, it contained a clause Gtr the
submission of the Constitution to the people. The
Senator from Georgia, two moths afterwards, intro
duced a bill of like character containing no such
clause. Both bills were sent bask to the Committee
on Territories, the Chairman of which subsequently
reported the bill which afterwards passed the Senate.
Mr. Bigler here rose, agitated, and amid some con
fusion occasioned requesting Mr. Wade to go on. said
that he regretted that a defense of his personal in.
tegritY had again been forced upon him. What he
said, when this question came up some time ago, he
now _reasserted. [ - en proceedings December ath.J
Ile did not say that a distinct proposition of submis
sion to the people was discussed, but he did say in
the occasion referred to, that an impression was con
veyed to his mind that the intention of Mr. Toombs'
bill was to bring Kansas into the Union by one pop
ular vote, that vote being the one for delegates for a
Convention. Mr. Bigler again referred to his integ
rity, saying that he represented a proud and noble
people. Ho reiterated his statement that the impres
sion left on his mind was clear that Kansas was to
be brought in with one vote, and that the Constitu
tion was not to be submitted to the people.
Mr. Wilson asked the Senator if he did not make
a speech in Kansas last summer for admission by the
submission of the Constitution to the people?
Mr. Bigler—That is very pertinent. I have not
been in the habit of making speeches in Kansas.
Once I did address the people in Kansas, when I
said that the Constitution should be submitted to a
vote, but I had no question in view excepting shivery.
Mr. Broderick moved that Mr. Douglas be sent for,
or that the Senate adjourn the further consideration
of the subject till Monday. Ho remembered very
well the circumstances when this matter came up be
fore. The Senator from Penniyivania then said that
he did riot have a very distinct recollection, hat
thought khat such a discussion alluded to had taken
place, when the Senator from Illinois distinctly do:
nied it.
Mr. Bigler—Ho did not.
Mr. Broderick—My impressions, sir,—
Mr. Bigler—Your impressions are wrong. He was
careful and guarded in ,the statements he made. The
Senator from California seeks to place this matter in
a false view before the Senate.
Mr. Broderick—My memory must be very treach
erous if the Senator from Pennsylvania be correct.
He hoped the Senate would adjourn, and when the
Senator from Illinois is in his place we shall know
whether the Senator froth Pennsylvania is correct or
not, my 'impression was that he did deny it. He
thought, from the tremor the Senator exhibited when
he voted, that he was about to take back all he said.
Mr. Pugh said he thought ho could clear the Sen
ator of Pennsylvania of come embarrassment by state
ing that when the matter first raised up, he as a
friend to both the gentleman from Pennsylvania and
Illinois, when his, Mr. Pugh's impression was that
Mr. Bigler was correct; that the Convention alluded
to transpired in another part of the room where the
Senator of Illinois did not hear it.
Mr. Bigler said what the Senator from Ohio says
is substantially correct. It may bo remembered that
he distinctly stated on a former occasion that he did
not know whether the Senator from Illinois partici
pated in the discussion, for the rest it did not be
come toe Senator from California to describe the
manner of referring to the tremor with which he
made the explanation.
Mr. Broderick owed it to the Senate and the Sena
tor from Illinois to state that some days since, when
it was undersood that the Senator from Now Ramp.-
shire intended to alluded to this matter, the Senator
from Illinois intimated that he would denounce the
statement on this floor as a falsehood if the did not
qualify it. .
Mr. Bigler—Nothing of the kind is on record; the
Senator from Illinois said no such a thing.
Mr. Broderick—So this a question of veracity.
The Vice President reminded the Senators- to keep
r within the legitimate limits of debate. ~ .
i Mr. Bigler—The Senator from Illinois never said
any such thing. lie is not the man who would do ec;
denounce what, sir, a falsaiCed ? The impression on
my mind is that Kansas was to be admitted without
a popular vote.
Mr. Broderick—The Senator from Illinois is sick
abed. If over he takes his seat again, that will be
replied.
Mr. Broderick then moved to take up private bills,
but the motion prevaled to adjourn till Monday.
F rem Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 14.—Senator Douglas
has been confined to his house for several days by
severe sickness, but will room° his place in the Sen
ate sometime this week. He - pronounces the reports
as to his intention to resign his seat as totally with
out foundation, and assures his friends that he in
condi to fight the battle in which he is now engaged
to the end. He will not be driven from his position
by the threats or frowns of power,
nor moved from
the purposes to which his life has been devoted by
inducements proffered from any quarter. He says
that with him it is a matter of principle, which he
will maintain at all hazards.
Last week's receipts into the Treasury amounted
to $535,000, exclusive of $200,000 in Treasury notes.
The drafts drawn amount to $970,000.
Thera is no peracotible improvement in the physi
cal condition of Senator Davis. A partial loss of his
eye-sight is feared by his friends.
