E Occasionally, however. as in the instance
Of the Albany Aaas, the Union and its
ussters receive an answer which must be
Of rather difficult digestion. !, had been
cause Of surprise, that the Atlas SO long
escaped accommodation, when papers like
~ N. Y. Evening Post were long ago pro-
scsihsd and denounced by the powers of
Washington. But the following extract
from the Albany rejoinder to the President
eli bull. explains the mystery. The Atlas
ssyss-
3 aft will be remembered that whilst the
X ansas bill was pending, Gen. Armstr ong,
publisher of the Union and printer 10 Con-
eress, died. II became necessary to elect
successor, and Gen. Nicholson became
The administration candidate. A small num-
ber Of members met in caucus and placed
him il nomination. Others ofthe Democra-
tic members refused to participate in the
meeting, and without their concurrence the
election Of the administration candidate WIS
deemed exceedingly uncertain. What was
done! The refractory members were inyok-
Cd, and distinguished gentleman Of this
State vas authorized to assure them, in the
most solemn manner, both on behalf Of the
(resi1ent and Gen. Nicholson, that in no
sssss should the Nebraska-Kans biz be
made party test, nor should support OF, or
opposition to. the bill in any wise effect the
stsading Of the person ,0iis the adminis.ro-
tioa or tie democratic party
\ The pledge was accep.ed. The election
wss made, and the editors of the Union
from that day to this have been in the un-
interrupted possession Of the thousands
layishsd BY Congress upon its printer; ard
now that the consideration has been paid,
the pledges are falsitied. And we, and
those who think with US. are coolly told III 1t
~ must consent to swallow the Kansas bill
with Ill its practical denominations, on pain
Of being excluded from the democratic
brotherhood"
These are rich revelasions,-but We pre-
sumo the Atlas and its friends are BY this
time aware, that the keeping of pledges is
not Characteristic of the present Admin
istsaiion. The Missouri Compromise was
10 the nature Of pledge, which Mr.. Dou-
glas himself once said was "enshrined in
she hearts Of the American people," and
"had an origin akin to that of the Cons,itu-
,tion,"-and yet it is on the continued viola
tion Of such pledge, that the present Ad.
ninistrstion rests its cause with the people
and expects the hattering endorsement Of
. second term. One is at loss whether
NEST to admire it, morality or its efron-
terry, but the people have no idea Of pro.
longing its existence after the period fixed
b. Law for it's termination.
DIFFICULTIES SETTLED. We see il sta.
Ted that the difficulty between the Bishop
Of Illinois (Rey. DR.. Whitehouse) and bic
dock, relative to salary, actual residence
! amongst them, etc, has been amicably sst.
tied. The Convention Of the diocese has
taken such action as will secure him resi-.
dence, and the other difficulties are also in
train Of adjustment.
