the Lecomptonites, last week, The uommit
tee on Territories submitted three reports
Tho majority, Messrs. Green, Jones, Sebastian
and Fitzpatrick, had prepared a report m ia
Tor of admitting Kansas under tho Lecomp
ton constitution. Messrs. Collamer and Wade
prepared a minority report, and Mr. Douglas
a third, dissenting from the views enterxainea
by the majority. Mr. Douglas had asked the
majority to defer reporting until Monday, in-
stead of Thursday, as previously agreed upon,
etating as his reason for requesting tno post-
ponement, that his wife was dangerously ill.

were bound to adhere to tne agreement,
Tuesday evening, however, Mr. Douglas re-
ceived a note trom Mr. Ureen, coony miorm- i

concluded to report on Thursday morning.
Mr. Douglas on receiving jir. ureeu s nun.,
et to work with his usual energy, although he
had scarcelv closed his eyes for three nights,
and by sunrise on Thursday morning his re
port was ready, having also made a copy for
the press. The evident purpose of the Le
comptonites was to get their own report be
fore the Senato in advance of tho minority,
and thus compel a snap judgment, which was
defeated, however, as both, Jlr. uougias ana

plainly showed his chagrin at tne promptness
with which his stratagem was defeated. This
we believe, is an unprecedenteu uisregaru oi
plighted faith, a disregard for word of honor,
which has no parallel m the history ot our
Government, and an act which nono out an
unscrupulous enemy would dare to assume.
Tho whole proceedings, however, is but a con-
tinuance of the programme wnicn nas Deen in-
augnrated to tyranize over the people of Kan
sas, and which will eventually receive its just
deserts at the hands of an indignant people.

presented to our neg.suuuic, BUi..
lor tne regulation i iuo v.

monwcaltn." The bill was evidently prepared
by some gentleman anxious to obtain military
honors. The provisions of the proposed law
require every able-bodied man between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five years, with
some specified exceptions, to bo subject to
military duty, ne is to provide himself with
the necessary equipments, nnder penalty of a
floe of one dollar for non-performance, if a
resident of the rural districts, and one dollar
and fifty cents if living in a city the fund thus
raised to be appropriated to the support of the
"enlisted and eqniped" militia men. This
movement will doubtless prove, as it should,
unpopular throughout the State. Already we
have a large army supported by the National
Government at an expense that drains the cof
fers of the Treasury annually of millions of
dollars. Moreover, there is no necessity what
ever for such warlike preparations in a Com
monwealth such as ours, at a time when there
Is not the remotest danger of internal strife,
or outside attack ; but at a period when the
public prosperity would be better promoted
by a close attention to the pursuits of indus
try, and an endeavor to repair the losses and
distress which the recent financial crisis has
brought upon us. There are, of course, In ev
ery community, men who delight in the pomp
and pageantry of military display, and whose
time not being usefully employed, may be de
voted to such empty amusements. Let these
join one of the "holliday soldier" companies
that, at stated periods, appear in the streets
of our large cities with "fife and drum ;" but
it is unjust for them to carry on their diver
sions at the expense of the honest, industrious
citizens, who would rather pay the fine, than
b taken from their useful employments, to go
through with a foolish enrollment and parade.
We hope it will meet with but littlo favor
throughout the State.
Great Drought in Germasi. Accounts

February 17. In Congress the Anti-Le-coinpton
resolutions of the Michigan Legis
lature were presented to tho Senato by Mr
Chandler. Mr. Houston's resolution relative
to a protectorate over Central America and
Mexico was laid on the table, after some dis
cussion. The Army bill was then taken up
Mr. Johnson of Tennessee submitted a substi
tute, which Mr. Wilson accepted in place of
his own amendment, providing for the enroll
ment of four thousand volunteers, to serve
only during the present troubles. Mr. Chan
dler moved to strike out the fourth section of
the original bill, relative to the method of pro
motion. Without taking action upon the mat
tcr, the Senate adjourned. The House, after
passing a resolution declaring it inexpedient
to grant the pra3-er of the contestant of Mr
Winter Davis's seat for a Special Committee
to take testimonv, went into Committee of
the Whole on the Indian Appropriation bill
Mr. Atkins of Tennessee made a speech in
favor of the admission of Kansas into the

and Mr. Lovejoy of Illinois in opposition
thereto. The Comniitteo then rose and the
House adjourned
February 18. In Congress a bill for the ad
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton Con

Senate Committee on Territories submitted
three reports : A Lecompton report by the
majority, Messrs. Green, Jones, Sebastian and
Fitzpatrick ; a minority report by Messrs. Col
tamer and Wade, and a third report by Judge
Douglas. The Army bill was then taken up,
and the fourth section stricken out by one
majority.
An amendment was adopted, to
the enect that a reduction at the end of two
years should not operate on any officer at this
date. Mr. Iverson expressed a low oninion
of volunteers, who would be, in his judgment,
quite as likely to join tho mormons as to fight
them. An amendmcnt, introduced by Mr.
Hamlin, to the effect that in no case should
the force created by the act serve over two
years, was agreed to. After a desultory dis-
cussion, in the course of which Mr. Seward
defended his position, the Senate adjourned,

"Let the U.nio.n Slide." Tho following
from,tho Ohio Statesman, the Democratic organ
at Columbus, Is straigiit-forward and manly :
"So far as the fate of the Union is involved,
in this question, wo cannot bring ourselves up
to the point of entertaining the least possible
apprehension. Disunion enters into no part
of our calculations. We have neither fiith
in it, nor fuar of it. ' But if the salvation of
the Union depends upon so slight a chance as
the adoption or rejection of the Lecompton
constitution, its days are about numbered, at
all events, and there is no balm in this ques
tion, however decided, which could save it
long enough to bo worth much further trouble
If there be a party strong enough in the South
to dissolve the Union, in consequence of the
rejection of tho Lecompton constitution, the
rejection would not restrain or postpone thei
efforts a single month. If they fail in finding
one pretext for carrying on their traitorous
machinations, they will soon seek and find a-
nother, and another, until they come to an
end in success or failure. It so bent on thei
hellish design, the last means of opposing
and defeating them, which we should recora
mend, would be conciliation and sacrifice
The true way to baulk extreme wickedness is
to meet it with prompt and exemplary resis
tance."

Wouldn't Burn. The Boston Traveller states
that at the annual meeting of the citizens of
Harwich, Mass., recently held, it was voted to
discontinue the liquor agency there and to sell
the liquor on hand to a physician for medical
purposes. I he physician, however, refused to
purchase the article, on the ground that it was
of such inferior quality as to be utterly unfit
for use, and such as he would not prescribe
it was then voted that the wholo be publicly
burned in presence of the citizens, and a com
mittce was appointed to execute the vote in
the public square. The members of the com
mittee, in proceeding to the performance of
their duty found that they had a new difficulty
to encounter, which was no more nor less than
the incombustible nature of the article which
they were deputed to destroy. At this junc
ture an expedient was suggested, which for
tunately enabled them to carry their plans in
to execution. A quantity of pure alcohol
which had also been kept at tho liquor agency
for medical purposes, was mixed with the vilo
stuff sufficiently to cause it to ignite, and en
able the committee to execute their duty to
tho satisfaction of all parties.

Mr. Calhonn is sitpposed to be. The fact that
said returns as forged, with many others, were

Kind Words. They never blister the tongue
or lips. And we have never heard of any men
tal trouble arising from this quarter. Though
they did not cost much, yet they accomplish
much. ' They help one's own good nature and
good will. Soft words soften our own soul.
Angry words are fuel to the flames of wrath,
and make it burn more fiercely. Kind words
make other people good-natured; Cold words
freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and
bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful
words make them wrathful. There is such a
rush of all other kind of words in our day,
that it seems desirablo to give kind words a
chance among them. There are vain words,
and idle words, and hasty words, and spiteful
words, and silly words, and empty words, and
profane words, and boisterous words, and war
like words. Kind words also produce their
own imaze on men's souls. Aud a beautiful
image it is. They soothe and quiet, and com
fort the hearer. They shame him out or his
sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not
vet beirun to use kind words in such abun
dance as they ought to be used. Pascal
