Union. ! The committee close their report
with what they style, the 4 , last testi-,
mony against the Loeompton Constitu
tion," which includes the resolutions of;
"Bober Second Thought" in Illinois..
The Democracy of this State have
been looked to as presenting the strong
est evidence of the Anti-Locompton
sentiment, and wo are glad to find that
even there, in Douglas' own home, the
" will of the majority " of the Democra
cy of the Union has begun to bring
about the true feeling. The leading
Democratic (krona press of the State,
located at Chicago, the National Demo
crat, has been heretofore ardently with
Mr. Dcuglas in his opposition to the
President's policy. A. few days since,
however,it declared that the DomocrAcy
of the Union were with the President,
and it would not abandon its party for
any mere personal inclination. In its last
Niue, in reply to some remark upon its
manly resolution, it declared that " it
would not desert the party, even for
Stephen A. Douglas!" "that it believed
the question was one of peaoo or pro
longed strife," and remarked—"recoi re
Kansas into the Union as a State, and
lot its people govern themselves as they
please, and bring peace to the Union !"
It indicates a significant change in the
movements of the Democracy since the
issue of the President's Kansas Mes
sage. Those who connt upon the party
deserting their chosen standard bearer
are doomed to inglorious discomfiture !
Democracy in Maine.
Maine is a good distance off, and be
ing, as is supposed, irretrievably delug
aged with Republicanism, the little
Democratic effervescences that conic
babbling uf to the surface from time
to time, are not so likely to be nnticed
as they otherwise would be, especially
by the Republicans themselves. But
the fact of those effervesconces shows
that the true spirit is at work at the
bottom of the pot, and will cause it to
boil over by and by, to the damage of
the Republicans. A few instances to
the point are given by the Bangor
Union, which mentions, in addition to
the city. of Biddeford, the towns of
Cornish, Ncwfield,Sanford, Seaborough,
North Anson, Starks and Shapleigh,
all of which have elected full Demo
cratic tickets, some of them for the
first time.
New Jersey All Right.
The Democracy of the gallant little
State of New Jersey, ono of the five
Northern States that went for By
ctLetas in 1856, are sound on the
sas question. In the Legislature . they
have voted down the anti-Lecompton
resolutions which the Ik.publicans have
been endeavoring to force through.
Hon. Wilson Reilly.:
Wo saw it stated the other day that
the honorable representative of this
Congressional district had introduced
a bill to admit Kansas into the Union
as a State. The distinctive feature of
this bill is the recognition, by Congress,
of the right of the people of Kansas to
alter their Constitution at pleasure. It
might be well to put a clause of this
kind in the act admitting Kansas. Tho
President, if we romembent' - aright, said
he could see no Objection to it.
.But we
presume it is not held that such a
declaration from Congress would confer
upon the people of Kansas any right
they would not enjoy without it.—

The Result of the Kansas Election for ,
State Oficers.—Gen. Calhoun has writ
ten a letter to the Washington Star in
relation to the election in_that Territo
ry. He says:
As there has been great anxiety to
learn the result of the late election for
members of the State Legislature, an-1
der the Kansas constitution now before
Congress, I think it proper to state that!
recent information, through Governorl
Denver and others, leave no doubt that
the returned vote from the " Delaware-
Crossing " precinct, in Leavenworth
county, should be rejected, and that' ,
certificates of election should be issued
without reference to the vote of that
precinct. A month ago I was put in
possession of a newspaper containing
whatparported to be the affidavits of the
judges of election at that precinct; and,
in a communication to the Union, 1 im
mediately stated that if the facts con
tained in said affidavits were presented
I to me in an authentic and reliable form,
I should be governed by them in deter
mining the result of the election in
Leavenworth county. Although I have
not, received any reply to my letter to
gor. Denver, yet, from various sources
of information, I am loft in no doubt as
to tina statements of the judges of elec
tion a 4, that precinct; and I there
fore, issue the certificates of election to
the posor.s having the highest number
of vows in Leavenworth county, irre
spective of j 4 !/Delaware-Crossing"
precinct.
I regret to add that this decision will
give Oa 0100 of Kansas to a party
which ',view $$ the enemy of the peace
and good onlar, thy constitution and

" The closing remarks of lion. G. W.
Doitzler, Speaker of the louse, were
equaliy pointed, and will have the more
weight, when it is remembered that he
is one of the most conservative and
cautious of the Free State party. lie
spoke as follows :
" Gentlemen of the House of Represen
tatives:-1 am not a public speaker, but
I wish toreturn my thanks for the very
complimentary, and I may say unmer
ited, resolution of thanks, relative to
myself, you have passed to-night. We
are about leaving for our homes, I hope
to prepare for the final struggle for the
freedom of Kansas. Again we have
expressed our disapproval of the infa
mous attempt to subvert our liberties.
Should this Constitution be forced up
on us, wo have but ono method loft,
mid that is to resist its enforcement 'to the
last; and if I know anything of the
freemen of Kansas, it will be done. We
owe it to ourselves and to the civilized
world to resist this foul attempt to subju
gate a free people."
Now we have no doubt that the clos
ing remarks of tho lion. G. W. Deitz
ler would have been an excellent card,
bad not Col. Straub, the Democratic
Senator from Schuylkill county, hap
pened unfortunately to be acquainted
with the history of the aforesaid Deitz
ler, of whose biography ho proceeded
to give the Senate a short but exceed
ingly interesting sketch. Mr. Straub
stated that he had a personal knowl
edge of .Deitzler, that some few years
ago ho lived in Schuylkill county, from
which place lie removed to Bernville,
lurks counly; that at that village he
was once the acting post master; that
he robbed the office, and to facilitate
his flight from justice, he took his
neighbor's horse and wagon. A cloud
rested upon his name and 'character,
until suddenly lie turns up in Kansas,
joins the Republican party, becomes
Speaker of the house of Representa
tives, makes a conservative, cautious,
and deeply affecting speech upon abdi
cating the chair, and is finally quoted
by a committee of the Senate of Penn

prove that the 316min:inns aro ruffians,

transformation Of such material are
Kansas patriots! This spotless indi
vidual, who tells tho Legislature of
Kansas, that they owe it to themselves
and a civilized world to resist the law,
has had, it seems, sonic little practice
in breaking statutes, and rebelling
against constitutional authorities. His
earlier practices have admirably quali
fied him for the leader of a rebellion.

Sohn B. Raskin, of New Yo - rk, a Dem

to the admission of Kansas upon its+
present application, disapprove his
course and sustain the President. The
Democracy of Putnam county, N. Y.,
held a mass meeting on the 25th ult.,
and unanimously adopted the following.
very emphatic and pointed resolutions :
IVhereas, A Constitutional Conven-i
tion of the Territory of Kansas, duly
convened and regularly organised, has
prepared a Constitution in -contempla-;
tion of the admission of the said Terri
tory into the Federal Union as a sove
reign State, which Constitution has
been forwarded to the President of the
United States, to be by him submitted
to Congress, and
Whereas, The President of the United
States has submitted to Congress the
same, and with it a Message of his own

sion ; therefore,
.12soired, That Obi meeting heartily
approve of the sentiments contained in
the said Message, and view it as anoth
er evidence of the integrity, patriotism
and firmness of the ChiesMagistrate of
the United States.
Resolved, That we have no sympathy
with majorities that neglect or refuse
to exercise their powers, and then com•
plain that measures have been forced
upon them.
Resolved, That we have learned with
astonishment and regret that John B.
Baskin has been found recreant to the
trust and confidence reposed m him by
the Democratic party, by which ho was
elevated to his present position.
Reaokred, That in refusing to carry

the Lecompton Constitution, the lion.
John B. Raskin, cur Representative in
Congress, has forfeited tho confidenceof

.Resolved, That it is the sonso of this
meeting that tho best interests of the
people of Kansas will be consulted by
her immediate admission as a State, nu
der the Locompton Constitution.

WABEfIIOTON, March 25, 1858.
DIAZ COXPILita :—Tho first triumph
of the Kansas bill was won in the Sen
ate on Tuesday last.
Mr. Douglas made a long speesh, re
iterating his peculiar views, on Mon
day, in which he fell short of the ex-
peetations of his friends, and strength
ened the opinion that he is uncomfort
able in his present position.
On Tuesday, Mr. Green replied, in a
sound argument, and at the close of
his remarks, withdrew the amendment
of which he had formerly given notice,
in regard to admitting Minnesota and
Kansas together, saying that although
he was friendly to the admission of
Minnesota, ho thought it would expe
dite the public business to pass upon
each ease by itself. Mr. G. then moved
to strike out the preamble and insert
the following:
"Whereat; the people of the Territory of Kan
sas did, by a convention of delegates called
and assembled at Lecompton on the 4th day of
December, 1657, for that purpose, form for
themselves a constitution and State Govern
ment, which said constitution is republican,
and the said convention having asked the ad
mission of said Territory into the Union as a
State-on an equal footing with the original
States." ,
The motion was agreed to.
Mr: G. thew mewed to amend the bill
by adding after section two, lino nine,
the following:
"And that nothing in this act shall be con
strued to abridge or infriSge any right of the
people asserted in the constitution of Kansas at
all times to alter, reform, or abolish their form
of government in such manner as they may
think proper—Congress hereby disclaiming any
authority to intervene or declare the construc
tion of the constitution of any State, except to
see that it be republican in form and not
in confliet with the constitution of the United
States."

the word "of" in the eleventh line of
the second section, and to insert in lieu
thereof the words "annexed to," so
that it will read—" nothing in this act
. bhall be construed as an assent by COI! -
gress to all or any of the propositions
or claims contained in the ordinance
annexed to the said Constitution."
The motiou was agreed to.
Mr. Pugh withdrew the amendment
of which ho had previously given no
tice, find moved to' add the following
to the bill as a new section :
"SEC.. 4. And be it further enacted, That
from and after the admission of the State of

of tn.. "lilted States which are not locally in

The motion was agrecd to—yoas 37,
nays 10.
Mr. Crittenden submitted a substi
tute for the entire bill, which provides

_Attsenkpr *lt voA r liemi. DOA Om* ,
ea t Divl4 azid Rot
There was a marked demonstration
of applause is die galleries at the re
sult of the rote.
Hon. Wilson Reilly, the Representa
tive of your district, made a speech in
the House to-day, maintaining the le
gality of the Lecompton Constitution.
If Kansas is admitted into the Union
under this Constitution, the Legislature
can immediately pass an act to alter or
amend the same, and then submit it to
a vete of the peoplo, without outside
interference.
The House will take up the Kansas
bill on Thursday next. A few days'
discussion may follow, when it will
pass that body also. Mark this.
The Legislature.
In the house, on the 17th inst., the
bill for the sale of the State Canals to
69 Sunbury and Erie Railroad Com
puhy being under consideration, Mr.
Jenkins proposed to amend, fixing the
price at fifteen millions instead of three
and a' half millions, as proposed in the
bill, and wont on to say that he consid
ered that even' $15,500,000 was too
small a gam. The bill proposes that
the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Compa
ny. pay's3,soo,ooo in the bonds of the
comp/Loy, which can be purchased in
the market for forty cents on the dol
lar. At the price be had fixed in the
amendment, the State would only de
rive is little over four millions for the
Cahals. The receipts of the Canals for
the past three years have annually av
eraged $300,000 more than the interest
proposed to be given to the State on
these $8,500,000 of bonds. Tho New
York and Erie cost $52,000,000 ; the
N. Y. Central $38,000,000, and the
PeansylvaniaCentral 821,000,000; from
which he argued that the Sunbury and
Erie would cost $30,000,000. Even if
you gave this company the State Canals
they . could not complete it. It was the
moo monstrous proposition that had
ever passed before his vision. If the
fric;nde of this corporation are to be be
lieved, the Canals must bo a burden to
the company from their unproductive
.
ness. The company as good as declare
that these canals are a basis for obtain
ingioans to the extent of 87,000,000,
for it is well known that the value of
collaterals must exceed the amount fur
which they are pledged. The State
will become a part owner and respon
sible fT. the seven millions of bonds
issued.
The committo reported progress, and
had Ictive:to sit again.
In the Senate, on the 19th, Mr.
Brswer called up the Senate bill to in

St. Louis, March 24.—A letter from
Colonel Johnston, of the Utah expedi
tion, - describes his march to Camp
Scott, compliments his troops, and says
the 'Mormons have, as fully as words
and actions can, manifested the inten
tiontbat they will no longer submit to
any government but their own; and
that the people of the Union must eith
er submit to a usurpation of their terri
tory and have a government erected in
their midst acknowledging no depend
ence upon or allegiance to the federal
authority, or' act with vigor and force
to oompel them to succumb. He ex

early in the spring, under a sufficient
