Mr.. CLINGMAN'S POSITION.

The position of this distinguished statesman on
all questions involving the interests of his constitu-
ents and the Constitutional ghts of the savehodng
States, has never for moment been doubtful. His
whole course, since the acquisition of territory from
Mexico, has shown paramount desire to acquire
ior his section all its just rights and to protect his
state from the aggressions Of the Freesoers and
Aoolltonsts. He foresaw, at early day, that the
party claiming to be Whig would be sectionaiized
and Aboltionized; and he deprecated and opposed
tne election of Scott and Graham as an event which
would inevitably strengthen the influence of those
pocans who hold consolidation doctrines as to the
administration of the affairs Of the general govern
ment and who exist and control the policy of the
wing party in the free States only by ministerng to
inc prejudices and passions of Freesoilers and Abo-
t0nlsts, and by opposing the Constitutional rights
OF the South.
What he was in 1852 he is still--the tried advo-
'a'e and friend of the interests of his constituents,
ano the uncompromising foe of all consolidation
s'''Fnes and Freesoil movements and designs He

GREENE. We learn that DR.. D. G. W. Ward is
the Democratic candidate for the Commons in this
County. DR.. Ward his competitor two years
since within six votes, and, by proper efforts on the
part of his friends his election can now be secured
beyond doubt. He will do his part ably and con-
stantly Let every Democrat in Greene, without
reference to side issues stand by his candidates for
the Senate and Commons. Iaco Senator's, let it be
remembered, are at stake. and Wings elected by
the use of side issues, will not only vote for Wing
Senators, but will find themselves in the very ma
ture of the case, no more able to carry out these
issues than others, who agree with them as to the
object to be obtained, but differ as to the mode.

THE LEGISLATURES.

We never knew the prospect of the Democrats for
carrying the Legislature to be better than at pres
edit yet in certain localities there difficulties that
should be settled so as to concentrate the party
strength and prevent the election of Wings.
We trust the masses-of the party will take these
difficulties in hand, and compel asprants to settle
them at once. The principles of the party are too
important, and the consequences too momentous to
allow room for the schemings and plottings OF the
ambitious and designing.
While we can see objection to candidates for
the Assembly expressing their preferences for Sena-
tors to Congress- still it should be insisted strict
ly, and the pledge should be exacted wherever ne
cessary that they will support the regularly nominat
ed candidates of the party. Orr main reliance for
securing the taeo Senators wiU be in organization
and an caucus nominations.
Let the scenes and results of the last session be
borne in mind ); and let the Democratic masses see
to it that the will of the party is not again thwarted
and defeated

matter Of policy, that the gentleman would pur-
sue that course which would best promote his
views.
Mr.. BAYLY remarked, that Sas Wright was
favor of every appropriation for that purpose
standing on its own footing.
Mr.. WASHBURNin inquired whether Mr.. Wright
ever voted for river and harbor bill
Mr.. BAYLY. Unquestionably.
Mr.. WASHBURN. In what year and period
Mr.. BAYLY. l can refer the gentleman 10 the
year, but not 10 the date, Il he disputes the fact
only.
Mr.. WASHBURN. My impression was, the
gentleman had reference TO bills not OF general
character.
Mr.. BAYLY said Mr.. Wright voted for bill
which was vetoed.
Mr.. WASHBURN had an impression that Mr.
Wright was opposed 10 river and harbor apprc-
priations generally He wanted the reasons for
the Presidents veto of the river and harbor bill
Mr.. ORR replied to Mr.. HAVEN, saying, there
has never been an unpopular veto in this country.
The gentleman had spoken of the CESSATION of the
veto message. The veto would prove fullgrown
Hercules, 10 batter down the feeble arguments
made in favor Of the constituouality of such in
ternal improvement bills as had been passed by
Congress- In due season they would get the rea-
sons ofthe President for his Veto ~
Mr.. HAVEN replied, repeating that, in his opin-
ION, The only way 10 obtain the reasons of the
President was to pass separate bills, such as he
had suggested.
Mr.. LETCHER said all this talk was much ado
about nothing The best way TO get along was for
the gentlemen who represent the Wing side TO fix
on plan, and thus let the other side Of the House
know what 10 fight against.
The message, in his opinion, would not turn a
vote either way. He hoped the Wings would
let the subject rest.
Mr.. GREENWOOD made an explanation in
reply TO Mr.. WAsHBURM with regard 10 the bill for
the removal of the Red river raft.
The bill was referred to the Committee on Com
merce.
Mr.. WHITFIELD introduced bill for the
erection Of public buildings in Kansas. Referred
to the Committee,on Territories
A bill for the construction of roads and bridges,
and for the Improvement of rivers in Kansas, and
for geological surveyo the said Territory. Re-
ferred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
A bill to exempt certain town sites in Kansas
from sale and pre-emption. Referred to the Com
mitiee on Public Lands
On motion by Mr.. MAY. a resolution was
adopted, calling on the President of the United
States tofurnish to the House any information
possessed by him regarding a suit in the Territory
of Minnesota, by or in the name of the United
States, against the Minnesota and Northwestern
railroad company
bill for the establishment efcertain post routes
in Kansas Territory. Referred 10 the Committee
on the Post Office and Post Roads.
The House then adjourned until Saturday.

How the Grand Dukes Behaved.

Menschikof writesto the Emperor the follow
ing account of the gallantry of his sons:
In my order of the day of October 20 Nov
ember l0,) / deemed it my duty to recall once
more to the troops their soldierly virtues of the
Grand Dukes, and l took the liberty of saving
that, under the fire of the enemy, they have
shown themselves to be like brave Russian
soldiers.
But l should not be fulfilling my sacred duty
as loyal subject to your Imperial Majesty and
to all Russia if / were to pass over in silence
some circumstances connected with the dangers
to which their Highnesses were exposed.
After showing on the field of battle all the
extent of their courage and sang .froid the
Grand Dukes desire to visit that very same day
the bastions aRd batteries, in order to convey
from their own lips to the brave seameR the
thanks of the monarch, in execution of your
orders. At this moment almost all the batteries
were in play, and particularly at the kourgane
Malakhoff the FIRE was incessant, so that the
whistling Of the balls, and even of the rifle
bullets, accompanied the Grand Dukes during
the whole way to the bastion.
At the kourgane Malakhof, the enemy gave
the defenders Of Sebastopol a precious oppor-
tunity OF joining their tried courage to the first
display of the same quality on the part of the
well-beloved sons of Russia. In presence of
their highnesses and nearly at their feet, two
balls Of the enemy fell into the parapet; third,
which reached the wall between two embrasures,
covered the men working the guns with earth ;
and lastly, as if to crown the trial, bomb de-
stroyed a building before their eyes, whilst at
some distance from it their Highnesses we're
cheering on the combatants by your Majesty S
hattering words.
1t is unnecessary to say that, during these
moments, which might have been fatal, the
Grand Dukes showed themselves, l dare repeat
it here, like true determined Russian soldiers.
Your Imperial Majesty would overwhelm
with JOY all the army entrusted to my command,
by comforting on their highnesses the order oil
military merit, which is decreed to them unani.
mously in the thought Of each Of us. The
order Of st. George of the 4th class for bravery,
granted by your Majesty to their Highnesses,
who have most justly deservrd it, would be also
mark Of high and inappreciable favor towards
all the troops confined to me, and who wit
messed the courage and intrepidity Of the Grand
Dukes, in whose person your Imperial Majesty,
together with all Russia, has the happiness and
right to feel pride and gladness.
