lips, Sampson, & Co., 1856.
The heroic conduct of Mr.. Phillips while acting
as the Kanzas correspondent of the Tribune in
exposing and almost sacrificing his life in the
performance of his duties, gave him a bettor op.
porlunity of becoming acquainted with all the
atrocities of the Border Rufians in that devoted
territory, and with its general history, than has
fallen to the lot of any other man. While there
his correspondence was considered as of TIE most
reliable character, and was looked to as the best
authority in the case. He has now prepared and
presented in this volume, connected history of
the struggle, inteIspersed with biographical no.

therein, which adds much to the value of the work

commend it to every reader, and insure it a wide
reading wherever liberty is loved, and heroic self

an, by dividing the opposition to him in the Free
States.
At the last session under the same state OF
facts. Whitfield was ousted from the House and
his seat made vacant; eleven men who then voted
against him, hoping thereby 10 secure re-eiec-
tion now 60 for him, all but one having Iailea IN

ing to gain by violating the pro-slavery instincts
of their hearts these men are
Walk. Whitney and Williams of New York !;
Broome. Fuller, Hickman, Packer, and Tyson of
PENNSYLVANIA; Harrison and Moore of Ohio; and
Wells of Wisconsin.
All of these men were elected on avowed
anti-Nebraska ground, and therefore are now
traitors as well as dougfaces. Hickman, Packer
and Williams call themselves democrats, and the
other eight are Fillmore Americans, high in the
confidence of NIilliard Fillmore, and understood
to echo or to shape his sentiments. Broome and
Fuller lodged the vote Tuesday, but the other
nine in the, above list voted with the regular adj
ministration men in the House, for the admins
sion of Whitfield. Had but two OF them voted
the same way they voted at the last session, such
a foul insultto the prosecuted freemen OF Kanzas
and the whole North, as the admission to repre-
sent Kanzas, in Congress, of the chosen repre-
tentative of the border rufians of Missouri

The course of Hickman, Tyson, and.P
are most surprised at, as Hickman was the Chair

admission of Whitfield at the last Session, Pack

them on that matter, voted for Banks for Speak

government.
Mr.. Kane of Virginia offered a resolution
depreeating the education OF Southern youth
at the North, and advocating the encourage
ment of Southern books, newspapers, and
manufactures.
Mr.. Gsulding of Georgia offered a resolu
ton instructing Southern Congressman to use
their efforts to secure the repeal of the tariff,
the repeal of the laws and treaty for the
rendition of slaves from Canada. Laid on the
table by an almost unanimous vote.
Mr.. Moore OF Alabama, offered a resolution
in favor of railroad from the Mississippi to
to the Pacific. along the 32d parallel. Ad-
journed till Wednesday, Dec. 10.
THIRD DAY.
December 1O.-In the Convention to day,
Mr. Gaulding's resolution relative to the re-
opening of the slave trade, was discussed.
The editor of the Charleston Standard
avowed himself in favor of renewal OF that
traffic. The Convention, he said, should not
acknowledge the right Of Congress to impose
restrictions on the slave trade 1t should
meet the question at once.
Mr.. Hunter of Va, thought the South
should ponder long before defying the opinion
of the christian world. The recent message
of the Governor of South Carolina had as
1uhiSlSO tllo NuOIe OOuID, Huu ne was not
prepared to endorse that message. The sub
ject was one involving tremendous conse-
quences, and time for reflection was neces-
sary.
Mr. Gaulding of Ca, defended the policy
of the renewal. Slavery, he said, was derived
from God, and he was ready to defend it in
all its bearings.
The question was discussed by other gen.
tlemen, including MIR. Mcleod of Texas
who pledged his State to the most extreme
pro-slavery measures.
The motion to take up Mr.. Gaulding's res.
olution was finally lost-l6 to IS. South
Carolina and Texas, and part of Tennessee,
voted affirmatiyely only.
Resolutions were then reported relative to
the Pacific Railroad, declaring first that the
Federal government has no power to con.
struct the road und secondly, that the road
should be located along the 32i parallel of
latitude, and should be constructed by private
enterprise, aided by grants of land from gov
esnment by contracts fer carrying the mails
military stores, &C., and also by aid from the
several States.
The first proposition was adopted.
The second gave rise to a long discussion,
which was not ended when cur despatch
closed.
