We lay before our readers this morn•
ing the Message of President Buesisvi
' AN on the subject of affairs in Kansas.
The spirit of the paper Is abo•:e all
praise, and its argument unanswerable.
It Is marked by a fidelity to facts and
principles, by a candor of statement,
and by a tone of fairness, which cannot
fail to command universal admiration.
The Illseimapt I* the lirsatia.
The Washington correspondent of the
Penney( ranian writes as follows in re
gard to the reception of the Pm‘ident's
Kansas Message in the Senate, on Tues
day :
You have seen a vast concourse of
people roll, like the waves of the sea,
under great excitement, while a mur
mur would rise, indistinct but loud, and
then die away into silence almost op
', pressice. It was thus in the Senate
when tho Clerk arose to read this im
portant paper, which must ever make
' an important part of the history of the
present ago. l'tie rustling of dresses and
fans ceased in the ladies' gallery; while
•
• Senators and others assumed attitudes
which would enable them to hear each
word as it, was uttered. I have never
seen such general interest in any subject
manifested by so largo an assembly.—
LAs the reading progressed, Douglas
looked troubled—Seward complacent—
Toombs unconcerned—Bigler satisfied
—Wade savage—Wilson bitter—Crit
tenden ;dignified, and Harlan dogmati
cal. Houston whittled busily at a piece
of shingle; Hale made " tago
pers".to outsiders, who giggled at his
wit, and Broderick laid back, with tis
feet on his desk, and gazed at the sky
, lights- Davis, Slidell and ninny others
, seemed deeply interested ;,...while a few
did nothing, and apparently thought of
nothing. When at the concluding, por
tion in which the venerable Chief Maws
trate alludes to his retirement front office
and his desire to leave his country peace
ful and happy—a visible sensation per
; ceded the assemblage, and almost every
nue seemed impressed with the patriot
' ism of the President.
As soon as the reading of the Message
was concluded, Mr. Bigler rose and
moved thig. the Message and the Con
etitution accompanying it be referred
to "the Committee on sl'orritories, and
printed. This motion was at once re
ceived, and would have passed by gen
eral consent, if Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois,
had not felt compelled, as he termed it,
to plaee his protest against the heresies
and inoonsistencies of the President.—
This gentleman then proceeded to ad
dress the Senate at some length in op
position to the course puisued by the
Executive in Kansas, and attempted to
prove that he had no right to employ
the Army of the country there for the
enforcement of the laws. The Seuator
apparently forgot that Reeder, Geary
and Walker, when severally fulfilling
the ditties of Governor of Kansas, had
each asked for troops to aid them, and
that each of these men had in turn - be
come a martyr in the eyes of republi
canism, the party with which the Sena
tor acted. The fact is, that neither
Mr. Buchanan or Mr. Pierce ever sent
a company of troops to Kansas until it
was asked for by civil authorities there,
and these authorities have, with a few
honorable exceptions, joined and now
act with the Republican party.

The Harrisburg Patriot and Union, in speak

will be permitted to sleep. • • The (Ir.

Oils effort to agitate the Kansas question. was
doubtless •sore disappointment to the opposi
tion, who imagined that an actual division ex
isted in our ranks, and that it needed but the
mention of this subject to excite the fictions
to open warfare. They found, with extreme
mortification, that the Democratic Darcy was
still united, and that no movement of its ene
