CLULes
We are under many obligations to Di%
Pollock of Clinton Post Office for a " crack
club" for the Weekly Post numbering well
nigh one hundred. He is one of the sound
Democrats of Allegheny county, who fully
appreciates the newspaper as the proper tool
to keep the people in the right path.
_ .
We are also indebted to Itir. J. A. Breiden
stein for a largo addition to the number of pa-
pers from this office, with which he supplies
his country friends. 1 his gentleman lives in a
portion of Allegheny county, where there is
no Post Office, and on his weekly visits to the
city he takes out and delivers to his friends in
the country nearly one hundred and fifty pa,
pers from the various of iu the city. He
is a perfect traveling post office, and we as
well as others ale largely indebted to his in
dustry and energy in extending the cirDnlation
of the Weekly Post.
From Hickory and adjoining villages in
Washington county, Mr. Wiliam Sim cox on
yesterday, gave us the names and the money
for a club of forty-seven. Well done " Old
Hickory." Such men as Mr. Simcox are
right kind to make postmasters of. They are
good public servants, and me the best kind of
citizens in any community.
Any other gentlemen in the country who
may wish to aid in extending the circulation
of a first class family newspaper, of the largest
size at the exceedingly low pr,ce of one dollar
per year in clubs of ten, can be supplied with a
prospectus and specimen copies by writing
to us.
TILE STATE AGItiCU LTUJMAL We @i
Hon. A. 0. Heister, the Secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, is now in our city,
an L we yesterday had the pleasure of an inter
view with him. As one of the Sate Commit.
tee, be has consened to the holding of our
next annual fair in Pittsburgh upon c ,edition
that our citizens who are interested show their
public spirit by subscribing such an amount
to the friends of the society es will warrant
them in giving our city the precedence. It
will be necessary in order to secure the fair,
that our liotol Keepers, idercinots end all
public spiritad eAlizens co operate, and ge*, up
this subscription. As the holding of the Fair
here will be a great advantage to almost Ve
ry branch of business, it is to be hoped th.t,
when called upon t subscribe, that the sub.
scriptions mill be promptly and liberally
made.

At the corner of -,lnithfield and brunt
Streets, opposite the Monongahela House,
Messrs. James Blackmore and John U. Dev

The Magician's Own Book
Mears. Hunt & Miner have sent us a moat
curious, interesting and elegantly printed vol
ume, profusely illustrated, which explains the
whole art of Magic and Conjuring. It is from
the press of Messrs. Dick & Fitzgerald, No. 17,
Ann Street, Mew York. The cost is but a
dollar,and for this amount you may learn how
the thousands of amusing tricks practiced by
Blitz, Anderson, Wyman, the Fakir of Ava
and the others who have made fortunes at
the business,. are performed. The book illus
trates in a pleasant manner how the great feats
of strength performed in the circus and gym
nasium are done, and gives valuable scientific
knowledgd in explaining the marvels of
Acoustics, Geometry, Mechanics, Electricity.
Galvanism, Chemistry, Optics and a hundred
other things. The engravings number over
five hundred, It is certainly a most entertain.
ing and useful book, and cheap as dirt. It is
written in plain style that even children can
understand, and now we suppose we shall have
'.Young America" perlorming magical mira.
cies in every parlor in the city.

THIRTY-8/FT.E I CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
z+EN
•
The Kansas bill, as amended by the House, e,as
taken up and the amendments were read, when Mr.
Green, of Missouri, without further explanation, said
be would submit his motion to disagree to a direct
vote of the Senate.
Mr. Bigler c. nsidered the action of the Hutise as
a clear violation ot the Democratic principle that
Congress should nut interfere with the right of the
people of the territories to govern themselves. Un
der that principle he had hoped to see the fraternal
sight of two States, one a slave and the other a tree
State, coming into the Union together. Be was
against the amendment because it nets aside what
the people of 'Kansas have already dune. The
amendment provides that if the present Cunsti:ution
be voted down, the people of Kansas ?Ilan call a oon.
vention to frame a new one, on which the Vres.deni,
is to declare its admission by pruelatuatiun. 'fhua it
becomes a Slate Witll,:ut earning Unfurl., Cangi,!:s a

all. What guarantee against abuse.' Wbo knows ii
it will be republican in form? Ur may it nut con
tain features of inadmissibility ? There are teauy
insiduous features about this measure which may
please the publiz. He trusted that we are near the
close of this Kansas turmoil. Ho saw in it an ale•
meat of growing mischief. The agitation of slavery
is spreitding like the Ups tree, poisoning all the
channels of intercourse between the great parties of
the Union. He hoped that the slavery feud would
be set at rest, and Kansas come into the Union under
the Senate bill.
Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, said that he had hoped
with Senator from Pennsylvania that this question
would have been settled in accordance with those
Democratic principles which had been the rule of hi
[Mr. Douglas') life. He thought that if the amend
ments were concurred in by the Senate, it would be the
triumph of those principles, and would bring peace
and quiet. The Senators on the other aide urge us a
reason for the admission of Kansas, that it may
bring peace. Why not then admit her? It can be
done in an hour by assenting to the amendments.
Concur with the louse, and the action is final. Kan-
sas is then admitted with the right to make a C,..ns.ti
tution to snit herself. Let the men of all partie.. and
sections unite in settling the contention.
After replying to Mr. Bigler's opinion that this
could bo a violation of Democratic principles, Mr.
Douglas referred to the President's Message, allud
ing to the Kansas Nebraska Act, and asked if the
President had abandoned the the Democratic part)?
The object of the reference of the oonstifution to a
vote of the people it is simple to ascertain' if it is the
embodiment of their will; if it is the embodiment of
their will, before making it their fundamental law.
The Senator from Pennsylvania, cited
,the case of
Florida. Florida has no precedent, and proves both
ing except the attempt to engraft on the action of
government the principle that there is no need of the
constitution being the will of the people. Such rea
soning strikes at the roe of all free government, and
strikes the props from all parties, the Democratic,
American amd Republican. The Rouse amendments
to the bill accomplish two great points, one is that
it settles the Kansas exoitement, and another that it
recognizes the rights of the people to frame their
own institutions. Why then shonld we not all unite
and vote for tho amended bit, and immediately r,et.
tie the Kansas dispute? Vote for it and the right..t
of the people is recognized, vote fur it and t.it. , ite
rights and State sovareignty is preset ved, vote far it
and the country is given peace.
Mr. Pugh explained the reasons which would in
tluence him to vote against the House amendments.
His instructions from Ohio did not cover the present
principle. Hence he would excuse the right of hie
private judgment. He addressed himself to vurioutt
points showing the inapplicability of the provisions
of the amendment to the circumstances of the oabc.
The amendment submitted the constitution to a more
contracted circle of votes than have already voted on
the slavery clause. It is however, futile to submit
it to a vote; the free State people having a majority
the slavery clause cannot be approved and hones the
constitution would be voted down and the excite.
ment protracted by the framing of a new elm. they
must inevitably vote the Lecompton constitution
dowp they could do inothing else. Even if the amend
ments were appended to it they must inevitably
vote them down. He concluded by showing that if
Congress assent to the amendments they discharge
themselves from all power over the constitution to h.,
framed. The passage of the amended bill would
precipitate the people of Kansas into a new condi.
of anarchy. He was opposed to id in every shape
and form and considered it the most objectionable
proposition yet submitted.
No other Senator wishing to speak, Mr. Green's
motion was put to a vote and was agreed to, yeas 32,
nays 23. Consequently the House amendments were
disagreed to. The vote was as follows :
YEAS—Messrs. Allen, Bayard, Benjamin, Biggs,
'Sigler, Bright, Brown, Clay, Evans, Fitch, Fitz•
patriok, :Green, Gwin, Hammond, Houston, Hunter,
Iverson, Jones, Johnson, of Arkansas, Johnson, of
Tennessee, Kennedy, Mallory, Mason, Pierce, Volk,
Pugh, Sebastian, Slidell, Thompson, of Kentucky,
Thompson, of Now Jersey, Wright and Yuloo-32.
NAYS--Messrs. Bell, Broderick, °amen_ n, Chand
ler, Clark, Collamer, Crittenden, Dixon, Doolittle,
Douglas, Fessenden, Foote, Foster, Hale, Hamlin,
Harlan, King, Sward, Simmons, Stuart, Trumbull,
Wade and Wilsoti-23. Absent, Messrs. Bates,
Davie, Durkee, Henderson, Reid, Sumner and
Toombs.
The Senate was crowded during the discussion on
the amended bill, but there was not much excitement
at the announcement of the vote. After the °Alloy
of several yeas and nays, in order to prevent Mr.
Douglas from taking up the Minnesota bill, the
Senate adjourned till Monday.
ROUSE OF lIRPRESENTATIVES
The House resumed the consideration of the Do- ,
Money Appropriation bill.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, while opposing the vari
ous items of ? the appropriations, particularly, for the
army, said, Inoidentally, that there was no evidence
of rebellion in Utah. He would prefer to send the
civil officers thither, and if the Mormons would not
oce , operate in the administration of the laws of the
Territory, ho would repeal the organic act, and give
Brigham Young and company fair notice to quit our
soil.
Mr. Lovejoy said that it would be bettor to give
out the Mormon war by contract. He would not be
surprised if this, by the future historian, would be
called a war of plunderers and contractors. He
would not vote to put money into the pockets of these
harpies and jobbers who get fat jobs on account of
political opinions. He spoke of extravagant con
tracts.
Mr. Phelps defended the expedition to Utah, which
was despatched with no expectation of a war on the
Mormons; but patriotism demanded that the supplies
should be voted for the maintenance of the party.
He defended the estimates of the War Department.
The House adjourned till Monday.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 2.—The army bill, before
passing the Senate, was amended by reducing the
four regiments of volunteers to two.
In the House, the only member's seat vacant was
that of lilt. Caruthers, who was absent on account of
sickness. Notwithstanding the result of the strug
gle, the triends cf Lecompton are still sanguine of
ultimate success. They point to the fact that there
was forty-two majority against its rejection, as an
evidence of the disposition of the majority to admit
Kansas in some shape under the Lecompton oonsti
tut.on. 'Pim Senate will not concur in the House
amendments, and the Democratic calculation is that
there will he a close vote in the House on the motion
to recede from it, and a strong effort will be made
with that view. Should this fail, then the disagree
ment must go to a Committee of Conference, and on
their report the gnestion will be y resented as a final
measure.
The receipts of the United States Treasury were
