Pa." Legislature. Our State Legislature
j3 as yet transacted but little business of
,. either general or local interest- Yesterday
: the inauguration of Gov. Packer was to take
place. The inauguration was to be a grand
: affair, iVras absorbing general attention.
. Aftcjbe new G-ouernor is inducted intoof
S"Tee, we presume the Legislature will com-
.r - mence work in good earnest. ;
Asdersojc, tbe lieutenant of Wm. Filibuster
" Walker, and who at the time of the General's
capture was in possession of Fort Castillo, so
eoon as he heard of the mishap of bis chief,
hastened to abandonjbat position. He dam-
aged the steamer Virgin, burned all the build
: ings about the Fort, possessed himself of what
- cattle and goods he could, and descended the
river to tbe neighborhood ol GreytoWn, where
t be and Lis men weie seized and made prison-
er, on the 24th uit, by Cant. Sands of the U.
S. steamer Susquehanna. This finishes up
' that fillibusler expedition.
Kansas We have not as yet full returns of
the election recently held in Kansas, but
what news has come to hand indicates that
the Lecomptonites have not only elected their
State officers, but have also chosen their Le
gislature. The vote on the Constitution is
closer than has heretofore been supposed prob
able. Further returns may, however, put a
different face on matters. The Free State
men had differed about nominating State offi
cers. The minority, however, put a ticket in
the field, and we presume the majority didn't
support it, aril hence its failure.
Corrcphos Fcsd. The examination of the
afiairs of the bouse of Samuel Lawrence & Co.
is said to have disclosed the fact that the sum
"of $S7,000 was spent by Samncl Lawrence on
behalf of one or more manufacturing compan
ies, to procure the passage of tbe Tarifl act of
1557, of which $8,000 was spent in New York
for editorial services. The leading presses of
. New York have demanded a specification of
. the parties in Xew York who received this
sum, but so far in ain. They ought to give
themselves no rest until the suspicions are fix-
. el ia the right quarter. As toCongress, where
the largest part cf this corruption fund was
" spent, no step has yet Wan t.tken to expose
the guilty parties. Will not somo members
. from Pennsylvania the state which suffered
most by that tariff put on loot an investiga
tion that will show who it was took bribes to
. destroy the prosperity of the country ?
A "Democratic Weeusc"' was held in the
Court House last night, which was addressed
by W. A. Wallace and I. Test, Esiuires, who
expressed their approval of Buchanan's course
on Kansas affairs, daubed Douglas over with
"soft soap," pitched into the Republicans a
little, and tried to land the Democracy "on
' the other side of Douglas" reminding us of
, the fellow who stopped at a house, and desi
ring to get into the good graces of the family,
inquired whether there were any Methodists
''. or Baptists about ; being told there were, says
he, "well I am one"-leaving the good wo
man, however, to guess which he belonged to.
' The resolutions endorsed "our own Bigler"
and expressed a great deal pi confidence in the
competency of Mr. Buchanan to "do things up
brown." The work was all up-hill, and a
' atranjer would have been puzzled to decide
what sort of a "Democratic" meeting it was
whether Douglas or Buchanan but as a mat
ter of course it will be sent forth to Washing
ton as a triumphant endorsement of the Ad
ministration by the Democracy of Clearfield.
' One thing is, however, certain Douglas men
' are not a scarce article in this couutv.
The nARMOxiors." The division between
the Douglas and Buchanan wings of tbe De
mocracy seems to be widening every day, and
little hope of reconciliation is now entertained
ly even the most sanguine, though strong ef
forts are being made to adjust matters. If
good and freedom to Kansas will result from
it, we hope the fight may go on bravely. Are
think Douglas has the inside track and will
eventually come out winner, the' it is said the
..Administration will bring all the vast power
which is centred in it to bear in the effort to
force the Lecompton swinule through Con
gress.. It must be evident to every observing
individual that public sentiment is decidedly
; averse to the course pursued by the President
, a coarse that isdirectly at variance with the
former professions of the Democratic leaders,
with the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty as
enunciated by them, and with the principles
of Right and Justice. The position assumed
bj Douglas, Walker and other prominent men
of that party, whatever may have induced them
to take it, is a magnificent tribute to the truth
of ibe doctrines and the wisdom of the policy
upon which American Republicanism is based,
and it must be'gratifying-to those who op
posed Buchanan to find such men engaged in
the great work which they inducted.
THIRTY-FIFTH C02TGEESS;
Jas. 11. -The Senate passed a joint resolu
tion, authorizing the restoration to the active
or reserved list of the Navy, or the transfer
from furlough to leave of absence on the lat
ter list of any officer who may have been drop
ped or retired by the operation of the law of
1855, any existing law to the contrary notwith
standing. The Kansas question was made the
special order for Monday next on motion of
Mr. Hale, Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, who was
entitled to the floor, expressing a desire to
postpone bis speech until matters assumed a
more defiinite shape. The President's Cen
tral American message was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and" the de
bate thereon postponed till it should have made
a report. Tbe IIouso rejected a resolution
for printing 5,000 extra copies of the Coas
Survey Report. Mr. Faulkner asked, V
failed to obtain, leave to report a bill'
raising five additional regiments. The nse
then went int'n C.r.mmUtnn v, n-'le On -t

beckof Ohio, in favor of the Prefent's .P"
silion upon the Central Amcri1 a11651'0"'
the Committee rose, and the Uae adjourned.
Jas. 12. The Senate raKni the act of
1S5C, which authorized t Secretary of the
Navy to change the nariof vessels in certain
cases. In the courstv' the discussion upon
the subject, Mr. B3am5a stated that of 02
vessels whose nauy La,i been changed w ithin
eighteen months-'Sl had been lost or crippled
at sea. The nt resolution, extending the
time for the restoration of naval officers ' to
April nexV was a'-so passed. A petition for
the establishment of a telegraphic line from
Misscun to the South Pass, via Fort Laramie,
was presented. In Executive session, the
Ho. Nathan Clifford was confirmed as Judge
of the Supreme Court by a vote of 26 to 23.
The House, afttr receiving the Central A-
mcricau Message of the President, and a res
olution laying the Constitution of Minnesota
before Congress, went into Committee of the
Whole on tbe State of the Union. After
Messrs. Kellogg, Moore, Thompson, Warren
and Haskin bad expressed their views on the
Central-American question and various other
matters, the Committee rose and the House
adjourned.
Jas. 13. In the Senate Mr. Doolittle intro
duced a joint resolution, providing for the
presentation of a medal to Commodore Paul
ding, and Mr. Brown gave notice of aa amend
ment thereto, to the effect that Congress disa
vowed and condemned his conduct at Punta
Arenas. The residue of the session was de
voted to a debate with reference to the power
of the President in the matter of officers af
fected by the action of the Naval Retiring
Board. An amendment was finally adopted,
limiting the duration of this power to a term of
6 months. The House, in Com. of Whole, lis
tened until the hour of adjournment to speeches
about Commodore Paulding, Gen. Walker, the
Neutrality laws &c. Most of the speakers
sided with the Administration. Mr. Zollicof
fer of Tennessee, iu the course of his remarks,
characterized Gen. Walker as "a quiet, mod
est, self-poised man, of fine education."
Jan. 11 la the Senate a resolution reanir-
ing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish
an estimate cl the quantity of land granted to
Minnesota for railroad purposes, and resolu
tion calling for the report of the Commission
on War Claims in Oregon and Washington
Teiritorics, were adopted. The Paulding med
al resolution was made the special order for
Wednesday. Mr. Houston gave notice of a
bill to provide for the admission of Kansas
into tbe Union. The Senate then spent five
hours in Executive Session. "A large number
of nominations in the Navy were confirmed.
In the House, Mr. Kelly presented petitions
from 5,C00 citizens of New-York prajring for
a law to give the public lands to actual set
tlers. In Committee of tbe Whole, Mr. Steph
ens of Georgia made another spe-jcli ia favor
of modifying the Newtrality laws,;and making
full restitution to Gen. Walker, whom he
styled the legitimate President of Nicaragua.
He was followed by Mr. Blair cf Missouri, who
gr.ve notice of bis intention to oSlir a resolu
tion for the appointment of a Committee to
inquire into the propriety of purchasing ter
ritory in Central or South America, to be col
onized with free blacks; and urged the pro
priety of the measure forcibly and adroitly.
The resolution referring various parts of the
President's Message to appropriate Commit
tees was taken up, and several amendments
were offored. After some debate upon Mr.
Phelps's proprosition to refer the subject of
the Pacific Railroad to a special Committee
of thirteen tbe Committee rose, and the House
adjourned.
Jas. 15 The Senate was not in session.
In the House, the joint resolution proposed
respecting Naval officers was called up, but
objection was made to its consideration. Mr.
Robert Smith of Illinois, offered a resolution
providing for the appointment of a Special
Committee to investigate all the facts atten
ding the sale of Fort Snelling. A resolution
was adopted, authorizing the Committee on
the Judiciary to examine the case of Judge
atrous of Texas. Mr. Stanton of O'n io, pro
posed tbe appointment of a Select Committee
of five to look after the 587,000, alleged to
have been paid by the firm of Lawrence, Stone
& Co., of Boston to secure the passage of the
Tariff Act ; and in case such Committee pres
ent specific charges, the appointment of anoth
er Committee to investigate them. Mr. Bur-
lingame of Massachusetts, expressed himself
in favor of the proposition, although not in
clined to favor the policy of taking cognizance
of transactions that take place outside of the
nails of Congress. Mr. Davis of Maryland,
after remarking that he held the political
press "in such utter contempt that he would
take no notice of it except in a libel suit,"
expressed himself in favor of an investigation,
but opposed to the proposed method of con
ducting it. ; Mr. Kunkel of Pennsylvania,
who thought a free press, "with all its abuses,'.'
competent to save the country, was for inves-

Mattcson's absence, be would not call up the
subject till Monday week. Mr. Blair of Mis
souri offered an amendment, which was ruled
out of order, calling for the testimony sup
pressed by the Investigating Committee in
the last Congress. Mr. Seward of Georgia
doubted whether Mr. Harris's proposition
could be acted on, inasmuch as it related to a
member of the last House. Tbe House took

GOV. WISE 021 THE KANSAS TBOtTBLE.
Governor Wise, of Virginia, has written a
characteristic letter, which was read at the
Tammany Celebration of the- Battle of New
Orleans on, Friday, evening. . Strictly; spieak-
ng, the Governor considers ;the Lecompton
Constitntion legal, but be does not go for for
cing it through Congress in the fire-eater style.
His moderation is quite rettesaing. lie re
marks:' ' ' . . ' V
The Kansas bill" enabled the people to gov
ern themselves; that was its very essence and
its chief excellence, and every municipal in
stiUitka ot a Slate government is a-A-Uomestic
nstitution." The President is a bachelor,
and he must, thereiora,be excused for not com
prehending a "domestic institution" as; well
as we who have houses full cf children, lie
had better reasons for his recommendation
than he assigned, ne was bound to look to
he fact that this was the work of a legitimate
Convention, and that the work itself was in
form republican, and that these were subjects
for Kansas alone to judge of. But whether
Kansas had been allowed to judge whether
her people had been allowed to choose, to elect
to adopt or reject the constitution of govern
ment proposed for them whether they had
been allowed to govern themselves, was anoth
er fact which had to be looked to de facto
whether the ' schedule - was republican ? De
facfo, whether there were not other domestic
institutions besides slavery which ought to
have been submitted to the sovereign legal
voters? It is the very gladness and glory of
our State governments, when organized, that
they guard and govern the hearthstones and
homes of the people - of the United States.
State governments are the municipalities ol
sovereignty which embrsco especially the in
dividual persons, tho families, the households,
the altars and the home of our people. It is
that which makes State rights, State laws,
State organization, State action, so precious,
because so domestic, " in our confederacy
The federal government embraces rather no
tional and foreign subjects of jurisdiction, and
therefore, it ought to leave all domestic ques
tions to the States and the people. What
then 1 Why, then, if the schedule cf sub
mission was anti-republican, if it was partial,
if it did not acknowledge and allow the sov
oreign right of the people to judge for them
selves on the question of highest dignity, the
organic law of their government, and discrim
inated unequally between the subjects of prop
erty, the Congress of the United States ought
not to reject the legitimate and republican
constitution, but ought to adopt it subject to
a fair and legal vote of the people of Kansas,
according to a law to bo prescribed by their
Territorial Legislature, and to admit the State
under the constitution whenever the Territory
shall proclaim its approval and adoption by
the people. If they adopt it, to admit her in
to the Union t'pjo facto: and if they reject it,
to leave the people of Kansas in their own
wav to organise another Convention, and to
submit another constitution to Congress for
approval. This would be a plain and easy so
lution, and would take all the asses over tbe
"bridge of shrieks." And lor any difference
of opinion as to the mere mode of submitting
or solving this question, I protest that no true,
honest, earnest Democrat shall be proscribed.
io Northerner ought to denounce the Presi
dent for recognizing the fact of the legitimacy
of the Lecompton Convention, and no South
erner ought to denounce Senator Donglas for
contending manfully for the right of the sov
ereign people to adopt or reject their own form
of self-government.
THE UTAH EXPEDITION.
Tho latest advices from the army which has
been sent to pass the Winter amid tho snows
of the Wahsatch Mountains, are anything but
encouraging. In fact, they tend to confirm
the worst fears which have been entertained as
to tbe result of this illstarred expedition
There the troops arc, a thousand miles and
mere from the frontier,isolated amid the snows
and among mountains of which the Mormons,
and they alone, know all the passes. Already,
at the commencement of Winter, their ani
mals were perishing at the rate of a hundred
a day. The grass is all burnt, and their supply
ol provisions, notwithstanding the vast sums
of money spent on the commissariat and trans
portation departments, is so short that a very
strict economy, if not, in fact, putting the
troops on short allowance, will be necessary
to carry mein turougn tue winter. With in
action and short allowance will come disease
and discontent, and it is but reasonable to ex
pect that by the Spring the effective force of
the troops will be very greatly diminished
Without draft cattle or means of transporta
tion, it will be impossible for them to move ;
and instead of marching against the Mormons,
tbeyjWill be exceedingly lucky if theMormons
do not march against them.
It sems highly probablo that Brigbam
Young will represent to his deluded followers
that the financial disasters which have visited
us nre a judgment from heaven upon us for
our sin and wickedness in making war upon
the Saints; and should the Spring present the
soldiers, as seems almost certain, in an en
feebled condition, he may be apt to consider
that very fact as a call from heaven upon him
to cut them off. As to the idea of an intended
removal on tbe part of the Mormons, and that
the troops will have nothing to do but to march
in and to occupy their empty city and aban
doned habitations, wo see no plausibility in
any such suggestion. There is no place to
which they can removo; and the dctermina
tion expressed by Brigbam Young not to yield
up the valley, except be is driven from it by
superior force, is in all probability tho actual
resolution to which he has come. That bcin
the case, it is by no means probable that be
will wait quietly till the army can be re-enfor
ced and supplied by troops and provisions
moved from the frontier in the Spring. It may
be set down as almost certain that any such
supplies and re-enforcements will bo antici
pated by a desperate attack early In the Spring
upon the weakened and dispirited forces at
Fort Bridgcr. The course which, as it ap
pears, has been adopted by Gov. Cumming of
declaring the Territory in a state of rebellion
and organizing a court for the trial of ofTcn
ders, will naturally exasperate the Mormons
and lead them to abandon all hopes of stavino-
off an armed contest.
The Government at Washington, bv it
shameful miaman.igement of this whole expe-
anion, nas piacca uoionei jonnston and hi
whole army in this dangerous position. What
does that Government intend to do by way of
getting them out of it r Does it intend to
leave these two thousand men, or such of them
as may survive the Winter, to be cut to. pieces
by tbe Mormons in the Spring ? If not, some
thing ought to be done at once for their relief
and re-eoforcement. Tho merely issuing or
ders for new troops to hold themselves in read
iness to march in the Spring does not at all
meet the necessities" of tho case: . Long be
fore tbestroops could arrive, it might be all
over with the force they were sent to relieve.
Tbe responsibility of tbis whole business rests
upon tbe Government and a very serious res
ponsibility it is. Should Colonel Johnston
and his two thousand men come to any narm,
their blood will rest rpon the heads of those
who placed them in their present perilous po
sition. N. Y. Tribune. '
