some and practical benefits resulting from the
institution Of negro slavery as 1t existed IN
the Southern States to both the white and the
black race, and would therefore prefer seeing
that Institution permanently Incorporated with
the local institutions Of Kansas, believing that
the climate was ~congenial to the physical con-
~stitution of the negro, whilst from the fertility
of the soil, and the products common thereto,
the master would be amply remunerated. He
canyassed the Territory, and addressed the
people in every settlement he spoke 10 them
of the Constitution and the rights guaranteed
to that sacred instrument; he spoke Of the
great principles of popular sovereignty which
was the life and spirit of the Kansas Nebraska
bill, and advised the people TO stand square
up in support of it, as it guaranteed to them
sacred rights. He denounced the Abolitionists
and Freesoilers as firebrands thrown among
the peace and happiness of society, and con.
s~piraters against the free principles of our
Republican Government. He spoke of the
great truths contained in the creed of the
Democratic party, and endorsed the course of
the present Democratic Administration, par
t~icularly as regarded Kansas affairs. Under
these circumstances, and with this political
creed, on the first day Of October last, in ac-
cordance with the laws of the Territory, the
Hon. John w. Whitfield was reelected, and
thus he stands as the representative of the
sovereign squatters of Kansas.

BEGINNING OF rHE WAR IN KANSAS

BEGINNING OF THE WAR IN KANSAS.
A despatch dated st. Louis, November 30,
is as follows:
ave have accounts from independence to-
day, stating that the armed free States men
had attempted to drive Mr.. Coleman, a pro-
slavery settler, from his claim near Hickory
Point.
"Mr. Coleman killed one of his ASSISTANTS,
when a mob gathered together and drove him
aud other settlers of, and then burned Town
their houses. The ringleader in this was ar.
rested by Marshal Jones, and taken to Lecomp.
ton.
"Governor Shannon has called out the mi
litia.
"Many citizens from Independence, Weston,
and ST. Joseph's, have gone to offer their ser.
vices TO the Governor to restore order. The
people Of Lawrence are in arms, and have FIVE
pieces Of artillery.
"a number of houses have been burnt in
Douglas county, and several families driven to
Missouri for refuge.
"The law and order people Of the Territory
are ~rallying in large numbers to assist the
Sheriff in the execution Of the laws. Sixteen
houses were burned at Hickory Point, and sew.
eral OF the citizens we're missing"
1t seems to be the fate Of the young Terri.
tory of Kansas to be the scene Of unceasiug
strife and agitation. Yet, while many exciting
scenes have been enacted there, nothing has
occurred so serious in its nature as the doines
described in the above despatch. The rebel.

have asserted, that under all circumstances, and
on all occasions, we have walked without wan
dering and without w~avering the straight path
Of Democracy. We have nothing to repent or
to recant in our editorial career. Our conyic-
tons are firm, and our course has therefore
been consistent. We have not been for want
Of faith, or for want of investigation, compelled
to temporize, and resort to the arts Of diplo-
macy and the resources Of duplicity. What we
are, we are, and what we have written, We have

This much we have deemed it fit and proper
to say, since we are aware that insidious efforts
have been made to prejudice us in many high
and influential quarters.

THOMAS RUFFIS,
CONGRE SIS.

The first session of the Thirty-fourth Con
gress commenced yesterday, and the opening
formalities were witnessed by very many spec,
tators, who thronged the galleries and the
Hobbies of the halls of the Capitol.
The proceedings of the Senate were quiet
as compared with those Of the House, where
the effort to elect a presiding officer were pro-
crossing. Four trials were made with this
view, but, finding that further attempts were
likely to prove equally f%ruitless, an adjourn.
ment took place at an early hour. The mem.
bers willfreassernble today, and resume their
voting on that important subject.

The Chronicle learns from a passenger on
the What Cheer, from Australia, Chat Lola
Monies had a stormy passage from this port to
Sidney. The lay.dog of Lola was at fault in
in some matter Of etiquette, when the mate
gave him a kick Lola seeing this rudeness,
drew her dagger, and attempted TO stab the
officer. Her design was frustrated, and she
took such q disgust, that she refused to live in
the cabin, and took up her quarters in the
steerage. At her first appearance on the stage
in Sidney there we're only three or four ladies
present, but when she was called out at the
falling Of the curtain, she made a speech, and
rendered particular thanks TO the ladies for
their patronage.-.Sdn Francisco Nelcs.

Democratic Nomination..

At a meeting of Democratic members OF the
House Of Representatives on the evening of
the lst of December, 1855, Hon. George w.
Jones, of Tennessee, was selected chairman,
and Hon. w. IL. English, Of Indiana, and
selected secretaries.
The following resolution, introduced by Hon.
j. CLANCY Jones, of Pennsyl %vania, was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolced, That the Democratic members of
the House Of Representatives, though in a
temporary minority in this body, deem this a
fit occasion to tender to their fellow-citizens of
the whole Union their heartfelt congratulations
on the triumph, in the recent elections in seve-
raj of the northern, eastern, and western, as
well as southern States, of the principles of the
Kansas Nebraska bill and the doctrine of civil
and religious liberty which have been SO vio-
lenily assailed by a secret political order known
as the Know-nothing party and though in a
minority, we hold it to be our highest duty to
preserve our organization and continue our
efforts in the maintenance and defence OF those
principles and the constitutional rights of every
section and every class of citizens against
their opponents Of every description, whether
the so-called Republicans, Know-nothings, or
Fusionists and 10 this end, We look with con.
fdence TO the support and appreciation of all
good and true men-friends of the C%onstitu.
lion and the Union throughout the country.
The meeting then proceeded to select candi-
dates for the various offices connected with the
organization of the House, when the following
gentlemen were nominated by reclamation,
viz:
For Speaker-Hon. w. A. Richardson, of
Illinois.
For Clerk-A. d. Banks, of Virginia.
For Sergeant-at-Arms-A. J. Glossbrenner,
of Pennsylvania.
For Doorkeeper-Z. W. McKnew, of Mary

For Postmaster-John NJ. Johnson, of Vir-

For Public Printer-Cornelius Wendell, Of

A Rich Legacy-Fifty Millions OF Pounds
Sterling.

The Syracuse Standard says that two enter.
prising young merchants Of that city, Messrs.
Morris q Gardner, who keep a variety store,
have recently received intelligence that they
are heirs in the direct line, to a large amount
of money and property in England. The whole
amount is about fifty millions OF pound sterling,
and it is believed there are not more than two
hundred descendants to claim a share, giving
each person more than half a million of dellars.
An eminent lawyer in New York has been en-
gagged for some time past, in investing the
claim, and it is understood that the matter is
now near its conclusion. The Standard SAYS:
The original owner of this immense property,
was Lord Gardiner, an English nobleman, TO
whom reference is made in "Becks Medical
Jurisprudence" as contestant in a law suit in
which millions we're pending, and the case was
finally carried to Parliament, and decided in
favor Of "The Lord Gardiner" The case is
known to lawyers as "The Gardiner Peerage
Case
The original Lord Gardiner had three sons,
who emigrated to this country soon after the
first settlement of New York. The celebrated
GARDENERS Island" near New York, was en-
tailed property, and belonged 10 the descen-
dants Of Lord Gardiner, and one Of the three
sons married and settled on the Island as the
heir. Another son died soon after his arrival
in this country, and the third son married and
had a numerous family. One of the descen-
dants was killed by the bursting Of a cannon on
the Princeton, during an excursion on the
Potomac. He was q member of President
Tyler's cabinet, and ex-President Tyler after
wards married into the Gardiner family, but
what branch Of the family is not understood.
One of the sons Of the third son mentioned
above, married, and had two sons and one
daughter. The daughter died after her mar
riage without leaving any children. The Oldest
Of the two sons Of William named after his
father, married, and had eight children, five
sons and three daughters, all Of whom lived to
be married and had children. The Oldest Of
these sons was the father Of Joseph G. Gardiner
and Harry c.. Gardiner, (both deceased ] W.R.
Gardiner, residing in the western part Of this
State; Mrs. Fanny Larabee, residing near the
Orphan Asylum in this city Mrs. Polly Morris,
widow of ID. ID. Norris residing on Fayette
street, Syracuse; Mrs. Clarissa Sherwood, Of
Oneida.
The proprietors of the Variety Store, who
are well known to all our citizens, are the sons
of Joseph G. Gardiner, and Polly Morris.
Both are orphans, their fathers having died in
this city, and their mothers still reside here,
and own some real estate.

mob spirit manifested by them seem to have
made it necessary for the Governor to call out
the militia. 1t is, indeed, much to be deplored,
that this new and virgin Territory should, so
soon after its settlement, be polluted by the
tread Of ~rufians aud stained with the blood of
human victims.

preamble and first rcsoluion) which is, at
this day, so much inclined ~ ccanrl'i-1 DOL

scme political priest was their author, or
supervisor, at least. If we court the OBJ
trusiveness of political priests, in pro-

the intermcddIiug proclivties Of northern
clergymen, in abolition conventicles. 4

benefit Of clerical demagogues, who are so
ready to interpret "the will of God" for or
against slavery, presuming, in their inso-

preach politics as we'll as religion. II is a
