Very Curious from Washington.

You are aware that very lately Mr.. SEN
ator Mason of Virginia, and Senator Doug
lass, Of Illinois, dined with the President 1T
the White House, and you were right in
surprising that they had something at the
dinner besides bacon and cabbage.
Sine Judge Douglass has gone off 10 the
North, and the President and Mr.. Mason
have gone Of Cor the Virginia white, red,
blue. salt and sweet Sulphur Springs, the
secret in part, is out. The leading CONVEX
sution at that dinner was upon Kansas, Rec
der, Atchison, Strlng'eilow, sc. Mason
approved of the removal Recder, but said
that a southern man ought to have gone to
Kansas in the first place-not compr, mi
ser, but a regular fire eater. Mr.. Pierce
smiled, and said that he had to consult both
sections. He didn't like to remove Reeder
because at the Pennsylvania October cleo
ton it might do some damage 10 the party,
whereas, there was otherwise hope, this
fall, Of saving Pennsylvania. Could not
Reeder have been spared till the middle of
October? Mason SAID no. Virginia would
desert you if there were any further tempo
rising. You arc with us or against U.s.
Let Aeeder 60, and we will provide against
the Pennsylvania. Keep up the excitement
and while we break up the l. now Nplhings
on the rock Of slavery, we can get the de-
rocrocy together again. Make Sringfellow
Governor Of Kansas, after the fall elections,
and we shall thus secure distinct under
standing on the slavery issue upon the NEE
ting Of tho new abolition Congress. lie! US
see where they are.
Judge Douglass ,lcmurred The whole
Of our difficulties in this Kansas imbroglio
had resulted from the outrageous proceed
insS Of Ato.ison, Doniphon, ard tAat SET
StrngfclIOw was but the Stringfollow Of
Alc'..son, doing lis work for prospective
consideration. Between Doniphan and At
Gibson, in their desperate rivalry to secure
the suffrage Of the pro-siaYory party Of Mis-
souri, for the United States Senate, in the
next Missouri Legislature, all these Kansas
border troubles had been created. The pro.
cecdings Of those men had brought popular
sovereignty in the Territories into contempt
and the whole country on both s..Ias to the
dangerous issue OF q most violent and yiru-
lent sectional contest for the Prcsidcucy.--
Nor can we hope to rally the Northern de-
mocraey Till this Doniphan, Atchison and
Stringtellow Legislature of Kansas is set
aside, its acts declared null and void, and
provisions made for government Of tie
Territory by the bona tide people thereof,
according TO the law. We must do this be-
fore we can hope to rally the Northern de-
mocracy to tho support Of the Nebraska
bill.
Mason didn't care for the Northern de-
mocracy-dilnt want them--the time had
zone by for that. A sectional contest is in
evitablc. If Mr.. Pierce is with us, we
shall sustain him--il not, where else can
the administration look for support

House between Mcssrs. ielce, Douglass
and Mason. 1t may be over colored, or it

one thing am positively assured, and that
is, that Judge Douglass makes no secret Of

which their proceedings have brought upon
