WILIIOS ROUT terimthe Riqpfiblielths, is that after ax ing opposition to the admission of nsas nadir tho Looompton Constita n, ho toned around and voted for admission. Mr. REILLY'S answer l i t° this charge is. that his first irupres. sions were against the validity of the Lecgmpton Constitution, but when he vivo the question a thorough examina tion, his views underwent a charge and be became convinced that Congress would do wrong torejoet Ulnae Wi: h that Constitution. This is a sufficient answer, and ono that any right minded man would accept as entirely satisfac tory. B But apart from the chango wroughtin Jir. REILLY'S views by a close study of the question before ho cast his rote, there was a controlling reason why ho should yield his own first impressions and stand by the National Democratic Administration in its efforts to settle the Kansas difficulty. The patriotic voters of this District sent 3lr. Itsisur to Congress to represent them, not to rapresent himself. If he had adhered to his first impressions and voted against the admission of Kansas, he would have mpresented, not the people who sent him, but himself and tho Black Repub licans who opposed him. IXo would then have been guilty of what is now falsely clArgod against him—a base be trayal of the constituency who elected him. The old Federalists of the ADAMS school held the odious doctrine that the Representative was above the People and should act independently cf them. Their worthy successors, the " Con gressional sovereignty" Republicans of the present day, bold th•. same doctrine and abuse Mr. REILLY because be has not conformed to it. The Democracy in JrcrEitsos's time held that the Rep. resentstive was bound to obey the will of his constituents, and the I)cmocrac•v of t he present day profess the same faith. We leave the people at largo to decide which they will sustain—the Federal or the Democratic doctrine. Tried by the law which hinds a Rep. rrscr.tntivc to obey the wishes at the People who elected him, what tribunal in the world would pronounce Wir.soN Itru.LY worthy of bonds or death ? No man who has any knowledge of public sentiment will dare to say that those who supported Mr. ltatt.t.v in 1856, with the fewest possible excel). tions,- , were not warmly in favor of the Kansas policy of the administration. It Ir.+ had gone against the administra tion, he would have gone against the people who elected him. lint ho was tree to the people, and they A ill rcwarvi his fidelity. • Mr. Ilea:T.3(m bitterly assaiis Mr. Reitl3's course. Iris notions are so high-strung that, ho thinks it a very ceesurable condescension on the part of Mr. Reilly to faithfully represent his constituents. lie is none of your com mon men, to be governed by the wishes of common people. He is willing and even anxious to bo a member of Con. tress, Wit not a Representative of the People. .If be goes to Congrt.-is, lie must be poriaitted_to do as he pleases. Nobody must insult:his dignity by ask ing him to reflect the sentiments of the people. The voters who elect him must keep their vulgar mouths shut and allow Edward McPherson, "a gen kleman and a scholar," to do just its ho a;. 'light or wrong, with or with oautte consent of his tonstittients, lie will voto and net as seems good in his own sight, and the people must keep quiet on pain of Lis suveteign displeas ure. Other Congressmen may do as their eunstittlents desire ; other Con gressmen may defer to the .1 ishes of the people of their district ; but Ed. ward McPherson, the mageiticent little fellow from t lie Seventeenth District, must not be asked to let his dignity down to the level of eommon men, us Mr. Reilly has done. Re is quite too tine material to represent common peo ple—therefore he must be permitted to represent himself. Now which of these gentlemen will the people choose ? Mr. Reilly thinks a member of Congress ought to repre sent his constituents. Re thinks the member id tho sereant of the people, and is bound to obey their will and carry out their wishes. Mr. McPherson takes a d &rent view of the matter. He as sumes that the member is the noisier, sect claims for him the right to block out his own course in defiance of the people. It will be an evirtay for the independent votersofthe United States, when they endorse Mr. MePliersou's doctrine that a Roprosentstive's duty is to represent liiiiiself.—Cliumberstury Spirit.

But lo! a chang e has cum° over the spirit of his dreams. In his paper of the 2lstinst., he man; feats the same symptoms of affright as 13elshar i zar did on that, memorable night in Bible history, by whining an acknowledge ment of the falsity or his predictions. In his incomparable anonymous corms. pondence, published in his papers or that date, he says " Reilly, (is to be,, flared) by divisions among tlu Bopnb-,. licans in his district." ii, sees the hand-writin g on the wall and is already trembling. But true to Ins instincts, he attempts to clear his skirts of a false hood by telling another. Now it is not true that. there are "divisions a mong the R:publinans" in this district. On tho contrary they were never more united. Forney knows this and knowi also that notwithstanding their anion, Reilly will be triumphantly Such a consummation is patent to ovary citizen of the district. It well becomes Mr. Forney to propagikto such ridicu lous fals4.thoods, but ho can rest assur ed that, his caracter is too well known and appreciated hero, for them to do* any harm. Notwithstanding his trek sons ble ravings, the Democracy or lice district is a unit in favor of Mr. Ruilly , and will elect him by such by a su4 wity as will not only astonish tlio Ifdtrkted Republicans of the district," but -also make Forney. open his oyes in astonish mont.
