Republicans evince a feverish anxiety that the House should waste a couple of weeks of its valuable time in a fruit less wrangle about a matter which Congress can alone consider, but, we are glad to find, the Democrats are almost a unit in a determination to disappoint the agitators. Some venire pgo, resolutkme were in troduced on the subject, and referred to a select committee, with whom,it was hoped they would be allowed to sleep for some while. This committee, how ever, turned out to bo made up of a majority of agitators, and further action was found necessary on the part of the Democrats. On Miinday last, a motion instructingsaid committee not to report until the 10th of March, was carried by a vote of 53 to 38.. oar attentive Re presentative, Mr. War, of course vot ing among the ayes. Tim opposition fumed and frothed in their efforts to defeat the motion, (they desiring an immediate report,) but all to purpose. Common sense prevailed, and we hope it will continue to throughout, the sea sion. Let the legitimate work of the Legislature be done as speedily as pos sible, and then an adjournment sine die take place. Theshorter the session the less it will cost—and the leas Kansas talk there may be the more will be saved. Democrats, see to it that the trouble-making opposition are properly curbed, NO CARE FOR ALABK The same class of men who now pre dict woes unutterable in rase the recommendations of the President are adopted by Congress, are the samopro pbets of ruin and disaster who have so often made the same predictions in re gard to the adoption of Democratic measures. The same dire forebodings, fgom the same sources, preceded the election of General Jackson; the over throw of the United States Bank, the acquisition of Texas, and numerous other measures, which the event has al ways shown to be baseless and unwar ranted. They predicted, too, tbat if the doctrines of that political nonde script, "Sam," should fail in Congress, and oat of it, the Pope of Rome would soon rule this country with a rod of iron! We entertain no doubt that, as it has ever been under similar circum stances, so it will be in regard to Kan sas. Let the measure be -consummat ted, and the whole morbid excitement will speedily wane and die. "aecialie DOWN A PEG!" Senator Douglas, at the opening of Congress, declared, in his place in the Senate, that an "enabling act" was a ssailed to the admission of Kansas into the Union ; but in a brief speech made a few days since, he announced that he does " not regard an enabling act, as it is called, as essential ;" and does " not regard submission to the people as an essential principle." That's yielding more than we expected from him, de termined as be seems to be to keep up this Mums agitation. war It JR now generally believed that some of the Abolition leaders in Kansas, are in league with the Mormons. It is said that the Administration have con clusive proof of Jim Lane's complicity with Brigham Young. This iioald as count for Lane's rebellious conduct in making hilt denionstrations against the U. S. trodps, his object being to detain them in Kansas and thus prevent their being sent to Utah. It is also alleged that the liinsas agent of the Abolition Emigrant Aid Society is a Mormon. iiiirThe Pittsburg Utak/. has made a list of the Democratic newspapers in this State which sustain the Kansas poliey of Mr. Douglas, as also of those which stand by the Administration.— Of the former there are thirtsen,—of the latter, fifty-two.

The Lower "loos of Om Kansas Leg- i islatere, a few wails ago, unanimously Apposed $ resolution to memorialize 1 Congress fbr an eel to enable the people of Kansas to forma Constitution. Thus the policy of Mr. Douglas has been in-; dignantly and summarily condemned ' by the very men (both Houses of the I ' present Kansas Legislature are largely I Free State) for whose benefit it, wall in- vented. Thus have these profeesed Free State men, in effect, expressed their I i willingness to come into the Union with 1 ! the Gccompton Constitution. The Hollowing is as extract from a speech delivered in the Lower Row*, pending the resolution to memorialize Congress for an ' , Enabling Act," by Xi. H. Miles ,Moore, a Free State man by practice as well as by profession : "I have never soon tbo emer gency yet arise in Kansas, that would justify the people of Kansas in taking grounds against the Federal Government, or re belling. When we have exhausted ev ery means of peace—when we can be I supported by all our friends, then II will be willing to defend our rights in the field. This excitement, this rebellion through- i 1 out the Territory, may be very agreeable I to some people, but I have suffered too r , much.iii pocket and person, to imperil i I all for nothing upon such a turbulent Isea. I believe the people of this Terri-I tory want peace, and they will have peace, and have it peaceably, too. We I have the power, and all that is necessa ryis to use that power discrectly.-1 ! Suppose the Leconipton swindle ehould i I be forced upon us; I say let it, come, I and I, for one, am prepared to meet it Let it come in any shape; we hare, the , majority iu the Legislature ; w e have the power and let us use it to destroy ; and crush out that constitution. Let us use it so long as it may bo necessary ' , to use it in order to establish a good t government. lam neither a Democrat,; nor a Republican ; I am a Freo State man of Kansas—and am not struggling hero to destroy the Democratic party j in the States, or to build up the Repub.

And yet when we, Democrats, charge that Jim Lane and his myrmidons are in re bellion, the Abolitionists apologise for them and say, "Oh, they arc not rebell ing—they are only asserting the rights of the people." And aga!n : Jir. Moore says tho Free State men " have the power"; they can " crush out " the Leeompton Constitution ; they can graft upon that instrument as a stock, what they may consider "a good gov ernment. So say we. Why, then, should Kansas not be admitted into the Union with the Lecompton Constitu tion? Why should she not be admitted immediately, so that the useless agita tion and turmoil caused by her pro gression from the condition of a Terri tory toward that of a State, shall be ended, at once and forever?

C Cook, Merchant at Blackiaton's Cross- Roads, six miles west of Smyrna, was aroused from hie sleep by a man who wanted t.omo goods from his store, and who, though remonstrated with, insist ed until Mr. C. was prevailed upon to go to the store, the door of which be locked air soon as they were.-Inside.— The stranger purchased'shirting to the amount of $4.40, when be handed over a $lO note on the Bank of Gettysburg, Pa., which Mr. C. pronounced a coun terfeit; to which his nocturnal custo mer replied it was a " d—n Ile." From this plainness of speech, Mr. C. grabbed him by the hair, bounced over the coun ter and "pummelled " him so severely as to render him entirely powerless— he thinks, breaking one of his ribs. A rap was then heard at the door, and Mr. C. thinking it some one of his fami ly, unlocked it, when in stepped a stranger, who inquired of the person he had there, and what ho was doing to him. Mr. C. replied that be hail undertook to pass a counterfeit note upon him and he was trying to make hi'n redeem it. "Well," said he, " it' that's all, I'll redeem it for him," and immediately demanded their release from the store (the door having been re-locked on his entrance) to which Mr. C. replied that they should not leave the house until the counterfeit money was redeemed ; the man then drew a pistol, saying at the same time he wonld go out, or go over his dead body,—but, in drawing the pistol from his pocket, it became entangled in his coat, when Mr. C. sprang forward, and, being a very powerful man, wrested it from his grasp, as he did also his bowie knife. At this juncture, Oook'e little daugh ter appeared at the dour_ when he im mediately sant her fur a neighbor nam ed Jackson, and finding themselves (Am p:Jared, the two counterfeit notes (Mr. C. haring got one the day previous, by means cf which he learned their char acter) were redeemed with $l5 00 good money---4/1 they had; aft& wbich they were allowed to depart In iponos, and hare not anion bow beard ban.

LETTZEL ISOM WASIIMOTONA Wesnisorox, Feb. 11, 1858. \ - .Dar Compiler:—Tbo session of the House on Friday last was warm and protracted, growing out of resole- Pons offered by • Mr. Marrui, - of 111., Fudge Douglas's right-hand man in that body, .to ref3r the - President's Kansas Message and the Locompton Constitu tion to a select committee—(the (Com mittee on Territories was tho proper reihrence)—with instructions to inquire into the mode and manner of the adop tion of the Constitution, - and do many other things violative of the doctrine of "non-intervention." Mr. Harris called tho previous question, thus at once ap plying the gag, and preventing the real Democrats from pointing out, in dis cussion, the manifold improprieties and bad tendency of such a move. They resisted, of 'coarse, with all parliamen tary means, and soon discovered that the Republicans and the few Douglas Democrats had combined to put the resolutions "through" at any cost.— They therefore refused to receive or vote upon Mr. Harris's agitation reso lutions, This rendered the combina tion hostile to the'Administration furi ous, and they determined to transact no other business, and to oppose even adjournment, if the Democrats would not permit them to force their unfair project through the House. As might he expected, skilful manceuvering lowed, and continued, apparently in good humor, until after midnight, when the smothered fire broke forth. Gen. Quitman, of Miss., had several times endeavored to induce the House.' to adjourn, but withont success. At. last he said he had a proposition to make which he hoped would suit all parties. Mr. Grow, of Pa., who sits on the left of the Speaker's chair, in what is called the oppostion side of the House, and who had taken a conspicuous part in endeavoring to force the House to entertain Mr. Harns's resolutions, at this time was passing in the aisle at the right, on the Democrats side of the chair. As Mr. Quitmaff rose to sub mit his motion, Mr. Grew, who was then very near the seat of Mr. Keitt, of S. C., turned and remarked, "I ob ject." Mr. Keitt replied, "Go on your own side of the House and make your objection there." Mr. Grow retorted, "I will make my objections where I please, and I am not to be intimidated by the lash of a slave driver." Mr. Keitt, taking this remark as a personal insult, sprang to his feet and struck Mr. Grow, who returned the blow, and the two immediately closed in a "rough and tumble" fight. A scene of wild confu sion followed—members crowded to the area in which the combatants wore, and blows fell thick and fast in the melee. The Sergeant-at-Arms interfered, and order was presently restored. After that things went on smoothly, the House adjourning about 6 in the morn ing, with the understanding that a vote should be taken on the reference on Monday morning. Mark the difference in temper between the two wings! When the President's Message was read in the Senate, Gov. Bigler moved its reference to the Com mittee on Territories, of which Mr. Douglas is chairman, and who is known to be opposed to the President's views. There was too much courtesy on the part-of Democrats to leave it to any other than the proper committee. But in the Howie, when a motion was made to refer the Message to the same pro per committee, of which Mr. Stephens, a friend of the President, is chairman, Mr. Douglas's intimate'friend from his own State, Mr. Harris, opposed stich re ference, and insisted that it should go to a select committee, of which he, of course, would be. chairman, and flue Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, would have control of th bill in the Senate, and Mr. Harris, of Illinois, would control the House bill ! Does this !ook like Dar-dealing on the part of a statesman? On Monday the Democrats determin ed to vote quietly, and leave all the noise-making to the oppositioo—eaid opposition, by the way, counting con -1 Ildontly upon carrying the Harris reso lutions by from twelve to eighteen ma jority.. The test was on the motion to refer to the Committee on Territories, and this resulted in a very close vote— yeas 118, nays 114. Harris's resolu tions were then adopted by a vote of 115 to 111. Several members were ab sent.--among thorn Mr. Reilly, of your district. It. is not at all certain that this result will help the opposition. Tho country demands peace on this vexing ques tion, and the Senate will regard that voice by, in duo time, admitting Kan sas into the anion as a sovereign State, and the House will, after a struggle, follow suit, whether Mx. Harris's select committee is ready to report or not. Mr. Keitt and Mr. Grow apologized for their conduct on Saturday morning, and there the matter dropped. On Tuesday. in the Senate, Mr. Douglas endeavored to have resolutions adcP ted the effect of which would be much like that of the Harris resolu tions in the Irouse, but they wore voted idowu-23 votes tbr to 3U against. Mr. Calhoun, the President of the Lecompton Convention, is now in this this city, and will shortly_publish a statement of facts in regard to Kansas affairs.
