The PARTIES IN CoNGREss-Until the election of
Speaker is made, we cannot decide upon the char
acter of the different parties contestant. 1t will
clearly be the duty we'll as the policy Of Southern
men of all parties to fall into line with those poll
ticans of the North who vindicate rights by
their votes in this election, by whatever name they
may be called. HI CummerciaL
1t would be very easy, it seems to US, to decide
what party, represented in Congress, occupies
national ground on the slavery question. The Res
olution unanimously adopted by the Democratic
members, and the fact that the opposition members,
with the exception of those from the South,
either Frccsoilers Aboiitionsts, ought to be sui
cient to show the character of the different parties
contestant
The Commercial adds that it will be the duty of
Southern of all parties to so with those men
North who stand by rights without regard to
names. True enougl.-and that is just what we
have been doing all along. This is the position oc-
cupicd by Mr.. Kerr and vet he is assaled and
surcd Gy the X. n papers as if he had committed
some mortal offence. His 'offc:.cc hath this cx-
tent-no more that, without regard 10 party
Names advised by the COMMERCIAL he has been
true to the Constitution, to his section, and TO the

THREATENED HosTILITIES IN KANSAS
Rumors have passed into circulation (says the
Washington Union, to the effect that the President
has authorized the employment of the troops of the
United States in the Territory of Kansas to aid the
local authorities in the execution of the laws No
such authority has been given. In order to show
exactly what has transpired, We have obtained per-
mission to publich the following despathes:

forces at Leavcnworth to preserve the peace of this
Territory to protect the sheriff of Douglas county,
and enable him to execute the legal process in his
hands. If-the laws not executed civil war is
inevitable. An armed force of one thousand men,
with all the implements, of war, it is said, are at
Lawrence They have rescued prisoner from the
sheriff, burnt houses, and threatened the lives of ci
items Immediate assistance is desired. This is

Does the Herald suppose that Mr.. Puryear would
take the Speakershp at the hands of abolitionsts
That paper is disposed to compliment Mr. Puryear
" His vote against the Nebraska bill leaves margin
for the Northern members of the party to operate
upon" Indeed the Northern Know Nothngs,
who are abolitionists and to whom the Herald thus
appeals, could say they had voted for Southern
man for Speaker but who was, nevertheless aoih
The North on tile sLarery question. OF course that
would be an honest and safe "opcration' The
Herald thinks so-and the Herald is Southern pa

racy. When will the K. Ms of this State force their
