FOR SUPREME JUDGE,

OF PHILADELPHIA.
FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
WESLEY FROST,
OF FAYETTE COUNTY
We call the attention our Democratic friends
and exchanges to the fact that the name of
the Democratic nominee for Canal Com
missioner is WESTLEY FROST, a: d not Wesley
as it has generally been made.
We copy the above from the Harrisburg
Paisiot and Union, but until farther informed
cannot change the name of Mr. Frost. Un
less very much mistaken, we have seen hail
write hi' name Wesley Frost—not Westly.
We shall, however, yield when officially in•
formed, which will not be later than to-n or-
KANSAS IN TILE HOUSE
This troublesome question, whiCh for the
past two months has occupied more of public
attention than it deserved, is now in the 'lova°
of Representatives, and will be taken up on
Thursday of this week, and definitely settled.
It is possible Mr. Crittenden's amendment
may be tacken on and carried, if our private
advices be reliable. It is stated that one or
two more Pennsylvania members have yielded,
and will vote Lecompton with the conditions
alluded to. We thin'. Kansas has had all the
time it should have, and earnestly pray that a
vote be taken upon the day appointed.

Journalism in America is to a great extent
impersonal. The reader of the daily news
paper never inquires who writes for it. The
"Post says," the'" . Gazette, says," the "Union
says," the Journal says," is sufficient anthori'•
ty for those who each morning read the con-
tents of their columns, and it is rarely, in
deed, that the reader of a newspaper consid,
ers the labor, the talent, the ducation of the
man, who, produces that which informs him
with his coffee, and furnishes him with his
argument in his daily conversation with his
fellows. The world seldom knows the names
di those who tight its battles.
The Tribune is " Horace Greely," yet
Horace tire::ly writes little of the inat-
ter which gives the Tr:bane its influence
The Herald ie " Junes Gordon Bennett yet
James Gordon Bennett buys and pays for
that which gives his paper an influence over
the - whole country, which it is idle to deny
that the Herald posesses, The p!:n, wielded
by a valiant man,one who knows the potency of
the weapon which he wields is "mightier than
the sword." The moral force of intellect,
in this country is bought by a force which is
more powerful than intellect—the force of
money—of gain—of necessity.
We have known editors who could he
bought with a bribe of office or cowed with a
threat ; we have known thorn so obsequious to
outside influence, that they would bow down
to a " money spinner,' and follow his lead
blindly, upon local or General questions o t
politics ; we have known them so mean as to
apologize for publishing grand truths which
thinkers have proclaimed.
The readers of newspapers du not properly
consider the labor and thetalent which produces
them. It is not right to say "we don't want
to know who wrote such an article in the jour.
nal which we buy." These words cannot sat
isfy men of letters, and the incidental power of
buying the labor or the efforts of intellect has
driven thousands to a permature grave or
what is worse to seek a temporary physical
stimulus to drown the chagrin caused by the
consciousness of neglected and unappreciated
and perhaps misappropriated talent. It is too
frequently a sad thing for a mart of education
to be under the necessity of selling his brain
labor as a huckster sells onions and potatoes
to others who have money enough to claim
and" receive from t'e public the credit of pro
ducing that which they do but buy. We
hazard' nothing in asserting that the reputw,
Coil which the editors of the most successful
journals in the country have acquired is mainly
attributable to tact and judgment, purches'
ing and appropriating the intellectual labor of
others. In this country the impersonality of
the press is an incubus upon literary talent
The anonymous is in truth a grievions injus
tine. In France where a different system has
been pursued, we see editors like Theirs and
(Juizot rising to the premiership—a rank as
nobly won by them as though they had com
menced life as senators. But in this country
those who do the work of the public press re•
ceive little of the pecuniary benefit arising
therefrom and none of the credit. In the battle
of literary life how many fight who fail. Edu
cation, genius, truth, earnestness, scholastic
knowledge and capacity, and willingness to
labor are subservient to money. They can all
be bought. Publishers grow wealthy on the
products of other brains. It is dollars which
guide the pens of those who write Presidents,
Cabinet ministers, senators and representatives
into place and power—it is necessity which
controls the master minds of the country ;
geniis toils unrewarded, and men of small
ability who can turn a cain, win fortune's
smiles. These things are so—are they right

The following resolutions, advising the ad

et v o te of 20 to 13
':evolved by the Senate and /louse of Repre
sen•uteve.- ry . the C9minontvealth of Pennsylvania in
Griteral Assembly met, That thin State line viewed

Assembly, confiding in the ability and patriotism
of the presat Chiet Magistrate of the United
States, and impressed with the wisdom and
justice of his recommendation to Congress in
favor oi the immediate admission of Kansas into
the Union as a State, do heartily approve that
measure, and endorse it with whatever of au
thoriry .nod influence per talus to them.
Resolved, That any defective or objectionable
provisions, if such exist, in the COntailialuu of
ausa:i, know printing before Cougress,) are for
cutlFPittrltuAl of the people therea,
re l
that their power to mend, alter or modify the
same, it they shall think proper, in a regular
and lawful manner, immediately upon admission
as a State into the Unio], is unquestionable, and
gaud upon °Gild constitutional principles and the
practice of the American States.
The vote was strictly a party one, with the ex
ception of Hon. Jacob Turney, of Westmore
land, who opposed them —all the rest of the
Democrats voting iu their favor. Before record-
lug his vole he justified himself in a speech, q.f
which the following is synopsis, for tsking ti e
stand he did :
Mr. Turuey said ha deprecated the necessity
that constrained him to differ with his Democra
tic friends on this question. As :,a party test it
related to his peit history of the Dernocritti; and
Republican parties, and demonstrated, so tar as
the action of the Senate was concerned, the bi
consistency of both. In 1856 the Dern-icratic
party was fully committed to the doctrine of pop.
ular sovereignty, and that, as a member of that
party, he had zealously advocated the election
of Mr. Buchanan, being honestly impressed with
the belief that he would faithfully represent
was then universally conceded to be the senti
ment of that party. Thai Republican party, in
the slme struggle. denied the right of the people
at least so far as to favorably recognize the in
terpertation put upon popular sovereignty by
their opponents. He contended that both had
changed fronts; that, strange as it might seem,
the Democrats had repudiated the Cincinnati
platform, and upon its vacation, the Republi
cans had stepped on. He claimed to stand
squ:i.rely upon the principles enunciated by text
body. He could see no reason to change his
views. Nothing had transpired to impair his
confidence in that great cardinal principle of the
Democratic party, that formed not only its es
sence, its living principle, but was the secret of
its success as a party, that the people are cover
(Agfa, and are exclusively the arbiters of their
own fate, and have the inalienable right to con
trol their own affairs in their own way.
Mr. Buchanan persisted in the same views of
the matter on repeated occasions, until he star
tled the country in his' special message, by fer
vently pressing and urging the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, in
defiance of the will of its people, aftOrwards
and before expressed through the medium of an
overwhelming majority given at an election held
in pursuance of existing laws, and called by the
proclamation of the then acting Governor.
He discussed the transactions that preceded
the assembling of the Lecompton Convention, and
reviewed the arbitrary and successful efforts of
that body to stifle the voice of the people ; the
iniquitous restrictions imposed upon the Meal,-
tants in the Constitution itself to defeat the free
expression of the sentiments of the people on its
acceptance or rejection, and commented at some
length upon the obnoxious features of the con
vention, charging that the people were allowed
no opportunity of approving or dissenting from
its proscriptive Know-Nothing provision—its
r"ckless and dangerous proposition to establish
as constitutional institutions a monstrous bank
monopoly—its equally objectionable reeommen
fallen to dedicate an indefinite amount of pub
lic treasure to carrying on a ruinous system of
internal improvements, and imposing upon the
people, as a condition precedent to the exercise
f the right of suffrage, a villainous test oath.
Vet when the free people of Kansas refused to
-übscribe to these dangerous measures, and
raised their voices iu condemnation of their im
position upon them, and claimed the privilege of
passing upon it as a whole, as was their unques
tionable right as treemen, and because they were
fervent in their appeal, (and well they might be,
for it involved their destiny as a people,) they
are from high quarters characterized as rebels
against the government ; yet the some breath
that styles them rebels, recommends their ad
mission into the Union. Remarkable cousisteney
That delectable worthy, John Calhoun, carried
the destiny of the free people of Kansas in his
breeches pocket—he was the custodian of its
Constitution, of the ballot-box, and the judge to
determine the results of elections How he
- ibused the trust is matter of painful notoriety.
Was it surprising that the people murmured
against usurpations so subversive of their rights
as citizens, and fraught with consequences so
dangerous to their interests as a people Y There
was the mockery of a registration to qualify the
people to vote, but it was a miserable, insulting
farce—it was never intended by its concootors
that a sufficient number of names should be en
rolled to jeopardize the result. He a.serted that
the illustrations of the committee, drawn from
the Constitutional history of Pennsylvania, are
pointless in this connection. That, although
they may indicate the practice in that State, they
have no binding force as precedents to establish
a mile of law affecting the rights even of the
eeepls., of this State. Pennsylvania must alter
Lad amend her fundamental law in the mode it
indicates—and any departure from this formality
would render its remits absolutely void. He
denied that these illustrations established the
right of the people of Kansas to alter the Le
compton Constitution, if passed by Congress, at
&aim. That the Constitution of a State Is its

Mr. Craige, of North Carolina, asked whether any
legislative body has not the right to protect itself
against scoundrelism, and against association with a
man whose reputation is infamously corrupt.
Mr. Seward replied that there was so much diver
sity of opinion as to what constitutes a gentleman
that he should like Mr. Craige to fix the legal stau
dard.
Mr. Craige said the House could protect itself when
a man's character is pronounced infamous and about
which there were no diversity of opinion.
Mr. Seward remarked, ho was not here as prose
cutor or defender of Mr. Matteson, but was endea
voring to explain the law as he understood it. Ho
asked Mr. Craige to put his fir ger uu the record to
show Mr. Matteson he was not interested one cot t
in the transactions investigated by the previous Con
grass.
Mr. Craige said, that by universal consent Mr.
Matteson was not a fit associate for any man.
Mr. Seward observed, that the gentleman from
North Carolina is not bound to associate with Mr.
Matteson more than he was. There is nothing to
show that Mr. Matteson was engaged iethe bribery
or was bribed, and if he has libelled the House, he
might be tried for it under the criminal law.
Mr. Ritchie moved to lay the whole subject on the

or was oontemplated by the Democratic members of
the delegation. He never had any intimation from
Mr. Douglas. He, Mr. Douglas, was nft influenced
by any such motive, nor did he believe it to be a
fact. He had said that he looked on the Lecompton
movement as a great wrong and vi dative of Ito
principles of self-government and that rather Mr.
Douglas nor h s friends would or ought to be eustain
ed by Illinois if they gave it their support. If Mr.
Smith understood more than this he wholly wiser
aprehended
Mr. Smith reiterated that in ceeeereatoin with Mr.
Morris he stated distinctly and explicitly that the
Illinois delegation held a conference in order to so
cure Mr. Douglas' re election to the Senate. If he
was correctly informed Mr. Morris related this to
others. That gentleman also informed him that the
delegates from Illinois to the Cincinnati convention
had recomended various appointments Co the Presi
dent, but that the recommendations were disregard
ed and that this was one of the grievances on the
part of the delegation. The gentleman from Illinois
had a similar conversation with the gentleman from
Kentucky.
Mr. Burnett remarked that be did not fool at lii.-
erty to repeat the conversation between Mr. Morris
and himself without that gentleman's consent.
Mr Morris enquired where the conversation took
place.
Mr. Smith replied that it did not matter where, so
that the main fact was stated.
Mr. Morris said that the conversation between him
and Mr. Smith was in December last, in the presence
of his (Morris') family, when bespoke as to whether
some plan might not be devised by which the lianses
question could be settled without serious conflict or
division in the Democratic party, and had also stated
that neither Mr. Douglas nor any other man who fa
vored Lecompton could be eleoted to the Senate. Ile
recollected farther his stating that on his arrival at
Washington, ascertaining that Mr. Douglas would
take a position against Leoompton, ho engaged in
conversation with Col. Richardson and Mr. Douglas,
when he informed the latter that if he had made up
his mind to oppose Lecompton, he should avail him
self of the earliest opportunity to deliver his views,
fur if he put off his speech to the 21st of December,.
when the vote was to be taken on Kansas,his motives
would be impugned and his enemies take advantage.
None of the Illinois delegation but himself took part
in the conversation. As a warm personal and politi
cal friend of Mr. Douglas, what motive could he have
for making a statement to his detriment? He doubt
less said too mush, that the delegation in Congress,
not the delegates to the Cincinnati Convention, com
plained that Illinois had not well been provided for
in the distribution of office, had been greatly misap
prehended.
Mr. Burnett did not pretend to give the precise
words of the conversation with Mr. Morris, but un
deretood Mr. Morris to state distinctly that the Dem
ocratic members of Illinois had a conference and de
termined that Mr. Douglas should pursue his present
course on Kansas : that this was the only means by
e hie]) Mr. Douglas could sustain himself at home,
and unless ho opposed Lecompton, defeat would not
only be inevitable to Mr. Douglas, but to his friends.
In that conversation Mr. Morris also spoke as to
whether the means were devised by which the Bern
°orate could act harmoniously, and said that Mr.
Douglas did not intend to be crushed out by the ad
ministration.
Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, repealed that no such
conference as that alluded to had been held. The
statement was wholly un , rue.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, said it was trae that a
conversation was held by him with Mr. Morris, in
the presence of nit family, but he went there at Mor
ris' request to consult about an old soldier's claim,
and the other subject came up after this was disp , sed
of. Having no political secrets himself, he held it
to be his duty to hie country to trace out by any
proper and legitimate means the secret motives and
private purposes of public inert who attribute other
reasons for their conduct.
Mr. Wright, of Georgia, said if this conversation
was not terminated, it must of necessity run into per
sonalities. There seemed to be a tendency to widen
the broach.
Mr. Morris said that Mr. Smith had announced his
settled determination to retail private conversations
when he thought public interests required it.
Mr. Smith explained that he did not say that he
would use private and confidential conversations h,r
public uses, but without the injunction of confidence
he would be at liberty to refer to them, for he (foul
see no difference betweep public men and public sub
jects. If these were traitors, could he not expose
the treason ?
Mr. Morris was glad that Mr. Smith watches the
interest of the country, and will defend every avenue
of the country to the last. What gentleman would
desire every conversation with his fellow members or
friends' to be publicly exposed. The conversation
between them occurred in private, but had been re
tailed in the speech of the gentleman from Virginia.
Mr. Wright saw no neesreity for any personal feel
ing. All the difficulty came from the word " COO
ference."
The House went into Committee.
Mr. Lane, the delegate from Urei i all, after speaking
in support of the admission of that Territory as
State into the Union, branched of on Kansas, adv °-
eating Lecompton.
Mr. Hall, of Massachusetts, opposed Lecompton.
and in the course of his remarks defended the deeds
and memory of the Pilgrim fathers.
The House adjourned.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON City, 11birch 27.—A caucus of Demo
()ratio members of the House was held to-night, and
was fully attended by both Lecomptonites and anti
Lecomptonites. A Committee of 20 composed of 10
on each side were ordered to be appointed to report
at an adjourned caucus on Tuesday night nest, the
best mode and manner of admitting Kansas into the
Union under the Lecompton Constitution.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 28.—C01. Johnson, in
his latest official despatches, says that the Mormon
troops are organizing to resist the establishment of
a territorial government by the United States, and
in furtherance of that object have erected works of
defence in the mountain passes and near Salt Lake
City. He dues not believe that that a spirit of con
citation towards them would now be properly appre
ciated, or rather that it would be wrongly inter
preted. In view of the treasonable temper and feel
ings pervading the leaders and the great portion of
the Mormons, he thinks that neither the honor nor
dignity of the Government will allow the slightest
concession. They should be made to submit to the
Constitution and the legal demands of the Govern
ment unconditionally. An adjustment of the exist
ing difficulties on any other basis would be nugatory.
Their threat to oppose the troops in the spring will
not have the slightest influence in delaying, and it
they desire to join issue, he believes that it is for the
Government that they should have the opportunity.
From Santa Fe.
Sr. Louts, March 27.—Santa Fe papers of the 27th
ult. have been received, but they contain no news of
special importance. Some Indian depredations, and

Cowman's command to Fort Union. This company
consists of seventy moo, and will go to Utah with
Marcy. Twenty-live mounted men also accompany

The Indian agript, Carson, says that the Utah In
liana are in great want, and have to be fed liberally
Captain Pope's artesian well expedition had ar
rived at Dona Ana.
The Kansas correspondent of the Repub/ictin says

meeting five government trains, and that the grass
was growing so rapidly on the plains that it would
sub.ist stook within five days.
