Dismissal Of Mr.. Champion and tho

WASHINGTON. Wednesday. Jan. o.
A decisive step has been taken relative
to British enlistments. The long cor.
.espondence on this subject between the
two Governments had been closed by an
elaborate and conclusive dispatch TO
Mr.. Buchanan, sent last Saturday, 70.
quiring the British Government 10 re.
call Mr.. Champion. or leave The alter.
native OF the Administration giving him
his PASSPORT here. The same paper
signifies distinctly the revocation Of The
exeqaturssof Consuls BARCLAY at New.
York. MATHEW ct Philsdslphia, and
RowEcRAFr at Cincinnati, who were
implicated in the enlis,msnls. Eng.
land is indirectly prepared for this con.
tingency by previous negoations. but
still the present demand may excite o
temporary feeling and lead TO some die
fcuity in the recognition Of Mr.. Buch.
snan's successor. 1t may also embarass
Lord PsImerston's s official tenure. From
positive developments this course is in.
evitable, end must be- sustained. II

The Harrisburg fPa) Patriot declares that
the National Democracy will not hesitate to
make ..squatter sovereignty" an issue in the APP.
prosching Presidential contest. That Is to say
lin the North. at least, the Kansas Bill is to be
construed as giving to Territorial Legislatures
the right to prohibit or abolish slavery, and the
North Is to be reconciled To il as a measure pro-
motive Of free. soilism. On the other side. the
Kansas bill isto be construed in the South as
securing the great principle Of non-interventon.
and the support of the bill by Northern Demo
Gratis is to be adduced as proof of their favorable
disposition towards the South. And so, we are
to be again cheated Non.intervention and
squatter sovereignty properly understood are
totally incompatible; but to suit the opinions of
different ATTITUDES. they are both to be deduced
from the Kansas bill; and the Democracy of this
North and those Of the South, each making their
own deduction. are TO be pronounced u unit OF,
the slavery question The doctrine of non-in
PREVENTION results from the denial Of air power 10
Congress to leg islatc with regard to slavcry-the
argument being that il Congress has not the
power. it cannot delegate IL to Territorial
Legislature. which is its creature; aud the con-
verse following that u the Territorial Legsla-
ture does not derive the power from Congress. il
does not possess II, because tits the creature #
Congress and has no powers except those delega-
ted by it's creators. But the doctrine of squat.
ter sovereignty is the exact opposite of this. and
results from the postula'e that Congress has
power to legislate on questions Of slavery, aud
by its act creating Territorial Legislature has
delegated that power TO the tribunal it has crea.
ted. Upon these totally .irreconciIable and vi
tally important propositions, the Democracy
North and South stand divided; and yet thu
grouudess asser,onis frequently made that the
party North and South have but one sentiment.
and one set Of opinions on slavery. The party
in this State are TO meet in convention next
week we challenge them to adopt a resolution
requiring Of the Northern delegates to the Ma
tional Convention tbe reputation of squaiier
sovereignty, as a condition to their ca operation
in the Presidential canvass. They dare not d"

MONDAY. JANUARY Z. 1856.
Petitions were rcccivrd.nnd referred to the np-
prnprio'e committees.
Mr.. Sumner presented petition from the }os-
ton Marine Society, asking that Il light house he
erected on the southeast part Of Block lsand.--
Referred Ia the Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Brndhraa called mp the resolution that the
Committee on Finance be instructed To inquire
whether the Senate has not the power Ia origi
mite the appropriation bills, in order that those
bills may not b. left for their consideration during
the last hours of the Senate. He sud that NIL
lions If dollars were often voted away mt the dend
hour of lie night in passing these bills when
the Senate was completely exhausted, and when
scenes were hring enacted which dolicucy would
not allow him to mention. The evil i occasion
ed by the long time taken by the House to orig
mite and to consider those bills, and thea giving
Ia the Senate but the last few days of the ses. inn
to consider ihrm.
T., proyo this tho Senator read a table show
ing the exact timc left the Senate tn consider
those bills showing that not one. tenth of thctae
Is left the Senate that it should have. I" ovPr-
come this evil, he proposed among other things
to give yearly salary to The members of Con.
gross, but did snt state how that would directly
affect tl,c subject.
Mr.. layton said the evil h Il never appeared
more enormous than of late. aud that il was IA
| growing evil, lie sall lndJ lnt >pilhlf Htu Tue
inhereut power 10 originate these bills but Tint
courtesy had given it 10 the House He thought
the remedy was to divide the orgination of these
bills between the Committees of the Senate and
the House.
Mr.. Hunter expressed his decided opinion that
the Senate has the power t. originate approprla-
ton bills. and showed that the principle al
lowed in the Senate for they continually
passing pension bills &c, that voted money from
the Treasury. and that if they could do this. the
more important bills certainly cnuldbe originated
in the Senate.
Mr.. Toomhs thought the evil did not lay in de-
ferring the appropriation bills till the lastof the
. session, but in the long string of amendments
tackled on the original hill by outside influence
in putting in the jobs. &c.. that could not be
ried through other ways. lfthe Senate would re
fuse to receive any amendments Ia the appropri-
niitn bills within 30 days Of the close of the
session, the great evil would be overcome
! Mr. Seward did not intend to commit himself
/ on the subject AT present. but it was his opinion,
/ that should the Senate claim the power # origi-
mating these bill>.it woulbe claiming more power
/ or Than the Constitution awarded 10 that hody,
and that should the II ,usc of Representatives
| grant it, it would be taking from them the pow
of the people through their direct representa-

The Colling s;teamers

The Postmaster General renews this year his
assault on extra appropriations granted by ton.
gress to the Collins line of steamersfln the follow
ing style:
In my last annual report referred to the large
amounts annually drawn from the treasury by the
Collins line of steamers, and recommended that
the six months notice required by the act of July,
81, 1882 should be given. Its not necessary that
| should again refer 10 the important fact that the
Collins ine of steamers is receiving from the gov
eminent eight hundred and fifty eight thousand
dollars for twenty six trips while the British gov
eminent paid the Cunard line eight hundred and
sixty -six thousand seven hundred dollars for fifty
two trips; nor TO the injurious effect which Il L
establishment of this monopoly must have upon
the commercial interests of the country.
Their original contract entered into by them,
after full consideration, bound them to build five
steamships tn maintain and subsst four passed
mid-hpmen and mail agent, and fer the mail
service they were to receive Sl9,25o trip. Con
gress has relieved them from that part of the
agreement which obliged them to maintain the
four midshipmen. The Post Office Department
has not taken advantage of the contract which
empowers il to send out mail agent and which
obliges the company to accommodate and sub
sist him; and the company instead of building
five steamships, stipulated in their contract,
have built but four. With the knowledge that
| the company have built but four steamships; that
| they have been relieved from two onerous cundi-
tons of their contract, one by Congress and the
| other by the action of the Post Office Depart
| ment in spirit of municence aud liberaty-
| on the 2lst of July. 1852, the amount OF com
| pensation was increased to S:,3 O00a trip. Tenn.
| porary embarrassment caused by the compnny's
entering into new enterprise, may have been
the cause of this action on the part of Congress.
| but these reasons can no longer exist.
/ Apart from the prices fixed in their own con
tract. the sum paid by the British government is
in my opinion full equivalent for their service,
and it is for this reason that again refer to il:
but whatever unexpected outlays there were on
the part of the company. Congress has certain
| ly dealt with them i'll truly liberal and gener.
GUS spirit Since the la >>age of the act If July
| 81, 1852. computing from the LIST of Jnnuary
| 1852. the time when the additional allowance
commenced. to the lst Of December, 1s55, the
company will have received one million four hun
dred and two thousand five hundred dollars more
| than they would have been entitled to for the
same amount of service under the original con-
tract; and If this period he heightened, and the
notice not given until March. it will make ST.
65O,OOO. Whatever, therefore, were the views
Of Congress in granting this increased compen
sation, cannot but regard the continuance of it
as a mere gratuity, destroying all competition on
| amost important route. aud like all such appro-
priations. attended by most pernicious influences
