The struggle was opon the resolution of Mr. Harris, of Illinois, to refer the President's Message, with instruc tions, to a select committee of Thirteen. This the Speaker decided to be an amendment to a motion of Mr. Hughes, of Indiana, to refer the message to a committee without instruc tions. Mr. Harris accepted "the ruling and called for the previous question. Thereupon Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, moved an adjournment. The Lecomptonites then com menced piling motion upon motion and called the Teas and Nays upon tbem, in order to rnnanme time and stave off action. The sin gular spectacle was presented of an Adminis tration warty in a Democratic House being forced to resort to every species of parliamen Pbfsidkst's Message. "We publish to-day Mr. Buchanan's messase, accompanying the Lecompton Constitution, which was submitted tiary tactics to prevent a vote on the reference to Congress on the 2d inst.

Walker, written before his prejudices had given way to a realization of the true state of affairs in Kansas, and denounces the Tope- ka Free State movement as revolutionary, re bellious, &c. If this be true, why were these rebels not hung ? Robinson and others were apprehended and brought before Judge Le compte to answer indictments for treason. "Why were they permitted to go unpunished, if they were in an attitude of rebellion and rev olution 7 These questions are pertinent, and their correct answer conveys a rebuke to the President. It is a matter of boast, that the will of the majority is supreme, that they can make and unmake constitutions at pleasure, and that in accordance with the organic act the people of Kansas were to be left "perfect ly free" to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way." Has this been done 1 Mr. Buchanan says the territo rial government "they the Free State men would long since have subverted had it not been protected from theirassaults by the troops of the United States." This acknowledgment implies that the Free State men are the stron ger patty that they are the majority that they were prevented by "the troops of the U nited States" from establishing a constitution to suit themselves. This is certainly a new Way of leaving the people "perfectly free" to form and regulate their domestic aflairs "in their own way." So far as Slavery is concern ed, Mr. Buchanan asserts that it exists in the Territory by virtue of the Constitution of the United States; that ''Kansas is at this mo ment as much a Slave State as Georgia or South Carolina ;" and advocates the speedy admission of Kansas with the Lecompton con stitution as the only means of settling "agita tion." The message is a rare document, and when we read it we were impressed with the notion that "old Buck" must have been in a bad humor when he wrote it. Still we trust our readers will all give it a careful perusal. The Tariff Bribcbt Cask. On last Fri day the Tariff Investigating Committee, at Washington, got through with the examina tion of J. D. Williamson. He answered all the questions put to him, but be could give no information in regard to the means adopted to procure the passage of the Tariff of 1857. He informed the Committee, however, that be could show, if permitted, that European man ufacturers and the British Government had authorized Sir Henry Bulwer and others to ex pend two millions of dollars io affect our Tariff and to establish a fret trade policy. More than $700,000, he says, had actually been expended to buy the members of Congress, or to defeat their election when they could not be bought. The Democratic members of the Committee ob jected to hearing about remote transactions, and the witness was discharged. Williamson also intimates that he could disclose corrupt or disreptuable transactions of our own Gov ; ernment, in connection with the negotiation of the recent treaty with New Granada. He particularly implicates Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Cass. He claims to have been a secret com mercial agent of prominent houses. f the House, when Mr. Keitt ot S. C. accompanied by Mr. Davis of Miss., came up to him. Mr. Grow objected to Mr Quitman's making any remarks. Mr. Keitt said, if you are going to object go over to your own side of the House. Mr. Grow repli ed this is a free laud and every man has a right to bo where he pleases. Mr. Keitt then came up to Mr. Grow and said he wanted to know what he meant by such an answer as that 7 Mr. Grow said he meant just what he said, that this was a free land, and a man had a right to be where he pleases. Mr. Keitt took Mr. Grow by the throat and said, "I will let you know you are a damned Black Republican puppy"! ! Mr. Grow knocked his hand off, and said, "I shall occupy such place in tho Hall as I please., and no nigger-driver can crack his whip over me." Mr. Keitt then seized Mr. Grow by the throat again, and Mr. Grow knocked him down. Mr. Davis and several other Southern mem bers attacked Mr. Grow, who defended himself bravely. The .Republicans rushed in a body to his assistance, and a general tight ensuco in me middle of tho Southern side of the House. Barksdale rushed in to part the combatants. YVashburne, of Illinois, thinking that he was going to pitch into Mr. Grow, struck at Barks dale and knocked off his wig. The Speaker loudly called for order, and called on the Sergeant-at-Arms to interfere- That functionary, carrying his mace of office, together with his assistants, hurried to the scene, and crowded into the thickest of tho Debt, in which at least a dozen members were engaged Some minutes elapsed before this truly fearful contest was quieted, the members hav ing reluctantly returned to their seats. There was a dead calm in comparison with tho scene just enacted Mr. Quitman moved that they now adjourn, and take the question on the reference of the message of the President on Kansas affairs on Monday, at 1 o'clock P. M. Emphatic and general responses from the Republican side of "No ! no!" Confusion began to break out afresh, when the Speaker said he would direct the Sergcant- at-Anis to put under arrest those who disre garded the order of the House. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said he foresaw disagreeable feelings would result here from the exciteing questions connected withKansas, and was called to order by Mr. Barksdale. Mr. Campbell said he wished the gentleman from Mississippi to know that he was his peer, The House was in session .till after two o'clock, but finally adjourned without taking a vote on the resolntion of Mr. Harris From the proceedings of Congress it wonld appear that the opponents of the Lecompton Constitution have a majority in the House THE LATEST. At 2 J o'clock on Monday, after considerable maneuvering, the vote was taken on Mr. Uar ris' motion to refer the Message to a Special PESTTSYLVANIA ITEMS. ... PREPARED FOB TUB "BAFTSMAS'S JOUBHAt."

A meeting of iron man ufacturers and workers was held in Johnstown on the 23d Jan., for the purpose ot eliciting an expresssion of popular sentiment in regard to a change in our present tar in laws, xtooers P. Linton, Esq., presided. Speeches favoring a high protective tariff on iron, especially, were made by. A. Kopelin, Esq., and Hon. George S. King. Resolutions to the same ef fect were adopted. The Cambria Tribune says : In consequence of the inability to obtain con tracts at paying prices, because of the large a mount of foreign railroad iron thrown Into the market of this country by foreign capitalists, the lessees of ' the Cambria Ironworks have been compelled to offer their workmen the al ternative of a further reduction often per cent, in their wages or the stoppage of tho works entirelv The steam Saw-Mill of Llovd, Holliday & Co., in White township, known as Bangor Mills, was destroyed by fire on Friday night, 22d ult. .It is supposed the Mill was set on fire by some one. ' We do not know the exteut of the loss, but it must be heavy, as the Mill was one of the best kind. .... The residence of Mr. George Bruce, of Allegheny township, with all its contents, was also reduced to ashes on Tuesday morning of last week. Mr. B. had four hundred dollars in specie in the house, which was fused by the fire. 1 Laxcastkr cJocntt. A young man pre sented himself on Thursday last, at the coun ter ol the Lancaster Inland Deposit Company, and representing himself as a son of Comiiio dore Stockton, had a draft for $50 on tho Bank of America, N.

Last sum mer Mr. F. had a barn burned on the same site. It was the work of an incendiary. . . The Marieltian. of the Cth, says : " We met an intimate acquaintance a few. days since who informed us of having just seen a Bible three, hundred and twentv-seceu years old.

The boy hal ordered the men to quit the farm by order of Mr. Whitehill Frederick Bausman, of Lancaster, a bachelor of about 5 years of age, committed suicido on Monday evening last, in his own garret. It is said Mr. B., was labor insr under a depression of spirits owing to a difficulty in paying some money on the prop erty in which ho lived. Northumberland County. On Thursday a-week, three Irishmen, hands working on the Northern Central Railroad, below Sunbury, got into a fight, while in town. They batter ed each others visages considerably, one of them using a pair of new boots in his hands for that purpose. The streets were muddy, and the mixture of blood and mud did not add much to the beauty of Pat's physiognomy. A constable took them to jail, where they com menced breaking the stove, windows, chairs and table, for which unmannerly conduct in return for the kind hospitalities tendered them, they were kicked out ot the establishment. The Sheriff was not at homo at the time, or they might have faied worse. .... A two sto ry house, belonging to George Miller, 8 miles from Sunbury, was burnt down. The house was occupied by Henry Haas and family, who had barely time to escape. .... 1 he house ot Nathan Martz. m Sunbury. caught Are last week, but the fire was put out before much damage was done Peter Durst, of Sun bury, has dug, within the last 1 years, aoi graves in tue eunoury, ana iu in mo iiunter grave yards.

The store of Ettinger & Ull roan, of Altoona, was broken into on the dist, and some small change, a revolver, a pair of boots and a rest stolen therefrom. The Utah Arm.-The New York nerald says it is reported on good authority, that Mr. Buchanan contemplates withdrawing the troops from Utah. Dr. Bernhisol, the Mormon dele gate, has submitted a proposition to the Ad ministration, indicating the willingness of the Mormons to vacate Utah and colonize on some of the islands of the sea outside of the juris diction of the United States, provided the Go vernment will purchase, at a fair valuation, the Salt Lake City improvements. Dr. B. asks that commissioners be sent out to arrange terms and details. Should these be agreed on Salt Lake City is to become a grand military tand or depot for our western troops. J , The Ohio (Democratic) Statesman's Leaven worth correspondent, Hon. John P. Slough, in a recent letter, states that the grossest frauds were practiced at the elections in Kansas. The Legislature appointed a commission to in quire into them. A copy of the poll-book of Kickipoo exhibits the fact that Wni. H. Se ward, Thos. H. Benton, Edwin Forest, Horace Greeley, James Buchanan, John C. Fremont, Millard Fillmore, John P. Hale, and others, Toted on the 21st December, at Leavenworth, and all cast ballots for the pro-slavery ticket f Committee of fifteen, and resulted in the de feat of the Administration party by a vote of Yeas 114, Nayslll. This is regarded as equiv alent to a rejection of the Lecompton Consti tution, by the nousc. Counterfeit Detector.

Tue bad liquor of California bas been the theme for many a piquant newspaper article in that State ; and from the statement contained in the annexed extract, we aro inclined to be lievo that every complaint in regard to this matter was well founded. Just think of any human being swallowing such poison as is here described. Aqua fortis would be a refreshing beverago compared with such a vile com pound : . "The kind of liquors drank in San Francis co is indicated by the following : The police lately seized a quantity of liquor kept for sale at several drinking saloons. The "brandy" was colored with burnt sugar, and contained one-sixteenth of a grain ot sulphate of morphine to every ounce of tho liquor. The "gin" was composed of forty-seven parts ot spirit and fifty-three of water, with a dash of sulphuric acid. The 'whiskey" contained strychnine and creosote. 1 he "pale brandy" contained, among other poisons, Prussic ucid." "Morphine," "sulphuric acid," "strych nine" and 'creosote," all combined in oue stomach ! Faugh ! THIRTY-FIFTH C0SGBESS. February 1. In the Senate, Gen. Houston spoke in opposition to the proposed Army r. Wilson offered aa amendment, in the nature of a substitute therefor, author izing the Executive to enroll 5,000 volunteers for certain enumerated pur)oses. - The further consideration of the matter was postponed till to-day. The Pacific Railroad bill was the special order, bnt Mr. JJougias pressea me Senate to take up the bill providing for the admission of Minnesota into the Union, and was seconded by Messrs. Crittenden, Seward, Halo and Wilson, and opposed by -Urssrs. Gwin, Green, Bayard, Brown, Fitzpatrick and Mason, the latter of whom said that it might be found necessary for the Southern States, "in order to determine where I hey tstand m this Union," to take up the Minnesota and Kansas questions together. Mr. Crittenden made an eloquent reply to Mr. Mason, which elicited applause from the galleries. With out taking tho question the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Stanton of Ohio, from the Tariff Investigating Committee, offered a res olution, which was adopted, requiring a war rant to be issued for the apprehensin of J. 15. Williamson of New York, for contempt in re fusing to give testimony. After discussion, a bill appropriating $360,000 to cover an acci dental omission in the Army bill of the last Session was passed. On motion of Mr. Boyce of South Carolina a resolution was passed, providing for the appointment of a Seloct Com mittee ot seven to examine into the character of the Navigation Law, tho expediency of a reduction of the expenses of Government, and of a gradual repeal of all duties on imports, with a view to resorting to direct taxation. Further dissussion was had on the Printing Deficiency bill, after which Mr. Lane of Ore gon presented her State Constitution. Kan sas then made its way into the House. Mr Parrott presented Joint Resolutions of tho Territoral Legislation of Kansas, protesting against the acceptance by Congress of the Le compton Constitution. Mr. Craig of Missouri tried to shut them out and prevent theni from being read, but the Speaker first and tho House after him overruled the motion, and bad the papers read. They were then laid on the table and ordered to be printed. February 2. In the Senate, Mr. Wilson presented the application of E. R. Livingston, ot Massachucetts, to be appointed to supenn tend the cataloguing and indexing of the ori ginal documents and papers ot the United States. Mr. Mason, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, reported a bill appropria ting $50,000 to the long-pending Amistad claim, and Mr. Seward submitted a minority report against its payment. 1 nc senate then took up the Army bill. Mr. beward was in favor of its passage, it no couia be assured that the troops would be withdrawn from Kan sas, and the new levies disbanded so soon as there was no necessity for their employment to put down the Utah rebellion. Mr. Hale was surprised that a Republican Senator should take such a position ; but Mr. Seward cared nothing for party, and said the mistake was jn supposing the battle not already wort, now that there were 10 r ree to lo Slave states, while there would be before the end of the year 10 Free to 15 Slave States. The Message of President Buchanan upon Kansas aflairs, to settier with the Lecompton Constitution, was then received and read. Mr Bigler moved its reference to the Committee on Territories Mr. Trumbull preferred to examine its tacts and reasoning before it passed from before the Senate, and proceeded so to do. In the course of his remarks, ho commented npon the Nc braska bill severely. This brought Mr. Don glas to bis feet, who said that ho would reply at another time, as he was in favor of the im mediate reference of the Message to the Com m it tee on Territories. After a speech from Mr. Toombs in defense of tho Message, the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Harris of Illinois gave notice that he should to-day move the consideration of the contested elec tion case between Messrs Campbell and Val- landignam. Several hours were spent in the consideration of the Printing Deficiency bill, which, after having been amended, was rejec ted by a decisive vote. The President's Mes sage was received and read. Mr. Stephens ol Georgia moved its reference to the Commit tee on Territories, and suggested an adjourn mcnt. An exciting struggle for the floor fol lowed, in the midst of which two motions to adjourn, which were made by Messrs. Letcher and Boeock of Va., and voted for by the ad herents of the administration, were negatived After some difficulty, Mr. Hughes of Indiana managed to get off a speech concerning alleg ed frauds perpetrated in his State by the Re publican party, which he vilified to the best of his ability. Mr. Hughes proposed to submit the Message to a select committee of thirteen to report on the propriety and expediency of admitting Kansas into the Union, and subse qucntly modified this proposition so as to re fertho Message without instructions to the committee. Mr. Harris of Illinois (Democrat) finally secured the floor and offered a resolu tion for tho reference of the Message and Lc compton Constitution- to a select committee of thirteen, appointed by the Speaker and in structed to inquire into all the facts connec ted with the Constitution, the election of the members of the Convention which passed it, its character, the number of votes cast against it, its satisfactory ness to the people of the Tcrritorry, and all other matters connected with the subject. Pending this proposition, the House adjourned. February 3. The Senate was urged by Mr. Trumbull to take up the case of the two pretenders to seats from Indiana seats to which they and all men know they were never legally elected. ; Mr. Bayard of Delaware tried to parry the demand, pleading that tho Le compton Constitution should fust be put thro before the right to vote of those by whom it is carried is determined ! It is manifest that Le compton is to pass the Senate, if at all. bv keeping out the undoubted Senators from Min nesota and keeping in the pretenders who on the representatives of that State in Congress to vote against the tccorapton constitution, coolly remarked that he should vote me otner way ; be should do everything in his power to sustain the Administration, believing, as he did, that Kansas and Minnesota ought to come into the Union as twin sisters. Resolutions were adopted instructing the Committee on Foreign Relations to inquire whether the Turkish Government proposed to send an of ficer here to examine our navy, etc., and if so, whether, a public reception should be given him ; and instructing the Committee on Print ing to examine the accounts of the printing establishment in Washington as regards work not performed by order of Congress. The French Spoliation bill was reported by Mr. Crittenden. Mr. Trumbull urged the Senate to take up the case of the bogus Indiana Sen ators, but the subject was tabled by a vote of 28 to 18. The consideration of the Kansas question was then resumed. Mr. Douglas of fered a resolution calling on the Executive for information touching the number of votes cast at all the Kansas elections, the reasons for re jecting certain "returns, and kindred matters, and urged its immediate consideration, uui Mr. Mason objected. Mr. Brown ot Mississip pi finished his speech. Mr. Wilson ot Massa chusetts replied. Mr. Green of Missouri fol lowed up the attackand was also demolished bv Mr. Wilson, who showed himself fully able to cope with both his opponents, single-handed. The senate then adjourned to Monday, in tho House, Messrs. Boyce (S. C) Quitman (Miss.,) Trippo (Ga.,) "Garnett (Va.,) Mott (Ohio.,) Wortendyke (N. J.) and Spinner (N. 1 .,) were appointed a Select Committee to ex amine the navigation laws and the existing du ties on imports,and to consider the expediency of reducing the expenditures of Government and of a gradual repeal ot all duties and a re sort to direct taxation. Mr. J. D. Williamson was brought before the House to answer for contempt in disobeying the summons of the Tariff Investigating Committee. In reply to the usual questions, he said that he was in the custody of the Sheriff when sent for, and that ho doubled the authority of the House to com pel him to divulge his private transactions, and meant to bring the question before a judi cial tribunal. He was, however, prepared to answer all proper questions. . What to do with the delinquent was the inqniry, eliciting a number of propositions, and an auimated dis cussion, which was broken short by a state ment from Mr. John Cochrane, to the effect that Mr. Williamson was ready to withdraw his answer. It was agreed that he should nave leave so to do, and to submit an amended an swer to-day, meantime to remain in the custo dy of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. George Tay lor presented a petition from the Mayor atid 1,000 citizens of Brooklyn in favor of the free dom of the public lands. The residue of the session was spent in considering the report of the c-ommittee on elections against allowing Mr. Campbell to take further testimony in tho Ohio election case ; but no conclusion was ar rived at. The Record. In the Pennsylvania Legis lature, the following resolution was offered bv Hon. H. D. Foster, a few days ago : "Resolved, by the Senate and House, &c., That in the words of the Governor of the Commonwealth, 'all the qualified electors of a Territory should have a full, fair opportuni ty to participate in selecting delegates to form a Constitution, preparatory to admission, as a state; and, it desirea oy mem, iney should also be allowed an unqualified right to vote upon such Constitution arter it is framed.'" The motion to proceed to consider it i 46 yeas to 45 nays. The rulo required a two third vote to sustain the motion, ine vote stood as follows : Of the yeas 27 are Ameri cans and Repnblicans, and 19 Democrats. The nays, all sow! Democrats, amongst whom is our friend. Mr. Snvker. This resolution advocates the rights of the whole people of Territory to have a say in the election of con stitutional Delegates, and then to approve or reject the work of the Delegates. But here are 45 Democrats in Pennsylvania who opposs the rights of the people, and stilt whine for popular sovereignty. O! shame! where is thy blush. Brookville Star. Grave Charge against the Government. -We had heard the charge made, previous to General Walker's arrest, that theUnited States Government winked at his violations of the neutrality laws, and that tho sailing of his un fortunate expedition was assisted and hasten ed bv the U. S. authorities themselves. The removal of the New Orleans custom house of ficer for allowing WalKcr to escape disproved that charge. But a graver one is now boldly made by the fillibustcr, in propria persona. At Mobile, a few days since, ho preferred a singu lar charge against the ational Administration, namely, that the opposition of the government to his expedition for the conquest of Nica ragua, was attributed to the rejection or a pro position made by Mr. Buchanan and his con stitutional advisars, that he (Walker) should go to Mexico, and excite war there, with a view to the acqnisifion of that Territory. This is a most serious allegation. Another New Territory. It is proposed to make an effort for a Territory organization of tho upper peninsula of Michigan, under tho name of Superior or Mackinaw. The country embraces some sixteen thousand square miles, abounds in mineral resorces, and has an esti mated population of ten thousand. At pres ent it is a part of the State of Michgan, from the main portion.of which, however, it is sep arated by the straits ot Mackinaw, and with which it has no common interests. Balmorals. The Chicago Tribune says : The "Balmorals," or red and fancy woolen petticoats, have made their appearance in our streets. They'are an improvement upon drab bled white skirts, to say the least of them, al beit they are nearly as ugly as sin. Pittsburgh Markets. On Saturday, Feb. 6, J; lour was selling from stores, superfine $3. 87 ; extra $4.25 ; family $4.50. Rye flour at $d.- per bbl. liock wheat Hour $l.i0 per 100 lbs. Corn meal 00 cts per bushel. Swift declared he was too proud to be vain. The distinction is a nice one. The Steamboat, Col. Grossman, running from New Orleans to St. Louis, burst her boil er near New Madrid, Missouri, on the 4th inst. From 25 to 60 of her 200 passengers are re ported lost. A western paper says tho only two classes of travelers on tho railroads out there this winter are thoso who are running away, and those who are running alter them. BANK KOTE LIST.
