clve :
The message of the President is a
comprehensive and well constructed
document, clear in its statements, and
stare - 21y any thing to be objected to in
its snggestions,- for they have reason
and common sense to recommend them,
and are presented in no partisan spirit,
bat evidently from a sincere desire to
subserve the pcbtic interests. The
moderation and sincerity which char.
aeterire it will commend its snggestions
to public fAcur, and if Congress meet
the emergencies as presented in the
motet temper, their labors will redound
to the benefit of the people.

The Western (Mo.) Dispatch has tho
following additional items from Utah
and the Plains :
The news from Salt Lake fully con
firms the news already received of the
determined resistance of the Mormons.
All of the mountain passe4 are atrongly
fortified, at each of which is statfoned
forty or fifty men, who in their position
aro well able to stop the further ap
proach of our troops during the winter.
Col. Alexander had taken three Mor
mon prisoners, among them n brother
of the notorious murderer, W. 11. Hick
man. It was the custom of the Mor
mons to keep a party of camp-followers
constantly in the rear of the troops for
the purpose of getting all the stock left
behind as *treys, &c. A. file of soldiers
were concealed is a ravine to capture
one of those parties. and a single man
sent nut as a decoy. The Mormons
readily took the bait, and Ivor° led in
pursuit of the single soldier to the am
bush, when the soldiers fired, killing one
and taking the three prieonors before
raeniloned.
Jesse Jones was a prisoner in Soh
Lake City, enjoying the freedo►u of the
place, but restricted from going beyond
:Ca lio4ita. The Mormons aay they will
fight to the death in defence of their
city it the troops attempt en entrance
this winter, and that the opting they
will burn the city and go. to the moon
tnins, where they have provision• to
Brat theat for four or five years.

on the motion to print the President's
3lessage, the Judge took occasion to
state his objections to the Lecompton
' Constitution. and was replied to by
Senator Bigler. The latter evidently
had the advantage. The gentleman
from Illinois found it difficult to steer
clear of his old doctrine of" non-inter
vention" by Congress on the question
of slavery, w Inlet Insisting that Congresa
should " intervene " to reject the in
strument framed at Lecompton by del

by the highest legi-lative and executive
authority in tho land. Be, further
' more, had voted for the Toombs bill,
last wiuter, which was to leave nothing
to the voice of the people of Kansas.
This gave Senator 'Bigler another ad.
vantage, and which ho employed (ia a

claimed to be the Constitntion of that I
Territory—as tho voice of the people of

But they go a step further—putting

A word of advice to the Times: Be
careful in using vulgar language; it may
suit your parlor friends, but it reverts.
When you dettotinced the Kansas Con

out the slavery clause.
Berlin Frederick P. Stanton, Secre

ing used his office for the purpose of
aiding the law-defying party In that
Territory, has boon very properly dis
missed by the President. The imme

ton is the fact of his having issued a
proclamation calling a special session of
the Lecompton Legislature, to meet on
the 7th inst. This he was advised to
do by, the Black Republican leaders, in
order that they might throw impedi
