W AsHINGToN, July -, 1856.
The House has passed the Army Appropri-
ation Bill, by vote of 81 to Sc, with Mr. Shcr-
mans amendment appended, which is as fol-
lows:
''Prorided, Beuertheless, That no part of the
military force Of the United States herein pro-
vided for shall be employed in aid of the en-
forcement of the enaCtments of the alleged
Legislative Assembly of the Territory Of Kan
sas, recently assembled at Shawnee Mission
until Congress shall have enacted either that
it was or was not a valid Legislative Assembly,
chosen in conformity with the organic law by
the people of the said Territory. Ind prori-
ded, That, until Congress shall have passed on
the validity of the said Legislative Assembly
of Kansas, it shall be the duty of the President
to use the military force in said Territory to
preserve the peace, suppress inSurrcction, re-
pei invasion, and protect persons and proper
ty therein, and upon the national highways in
the State of Missouri, from unlawful seizures
and searches. .4ad be further prooidcd, That
the President is srcquircd to disarm the present
organized militia of the Territory of Kansas,
and recall all the United States arms therein
distributed, and to prevent armed men from
going into said Territory to disturb the public
peace, aid in the enforcement or resistance
of real or pretended laws
The bill as amended has gone to the Senate,
and the responsibility is thrown upon that
branch to say whether supplies shall be voted
to the Army or not. Not content with this,
the House wheeled into line under the lead
Of Mr.. Grow of Pa, and substituted Mr.. Dunn's
Free Kansas bill for Mr.. Crows and put it
through to its final passage by vote of IS to
"A, and that has gone to the Senate also.
Dunn, Haven, Harrison & Co. voted for IT..
The bill repealS the Kansas ebraSlla Act, re-
stores the Missouri Compromise, and provides
carefully for thorough reorganization of the
Territory, and the Executive power and au-
thority i'll and over il to be vested in a Cover
nor, who shall hold his office four years the
appointment of a Secretary and the election OF
a Council and House of Reprcsentatives-the
first election to be on the Tuesday after the
first Monday of November next that all the
laws passed by the Legislative Assembly and
Governor shall be submitted to the Congress
of the United States, and if disapproved, shall
be void and Of no effect; and that all laws or
pretended laws, whether now existing or here
after enacted in said Territory, in contrayen-
tion of the provisions Of this Act, shall be
void.
There is considerable speculation whether
the Senate willreject or adopt this Kansas bill,
Many believe that it will adopt the bill. If it
does not, the House viii insist upon the amend
ment to the Army Appropriation BILL

Union State Ticket
UNION OF THE OPPOSITION.

Among the many plans suggested to mite
the forces opposed to Buchanan, The follow
ing, we believe, is one upon which ali can q
gree, viz Let 26 electors be Jointly chosen
by the Fillmore and Fremont men. Then let
the Fillmore men choose 9th and the Frc
mont men a 9th. Let>both parties vote the
90 common electors, adding the Fillmore cleo
tor at the head if they wish to cast their vote
for Fillmore, or the Fremont elector if they
wish to vote for Fremont. IF this ticket
should be successful, let the electoral vote be
divided between the two candidates in proper
tion to the number of votes which each shall
receive. Thus, if Fillmore gets half OF the
votes east for this ticket, give him half of the
electors, and Fremont the other half. If one
of them should receive two-thirds or three
fourths of the opposition votes in the State,
give him that proportion Of electors. By thi
plan every man would be certain for whom his
vote would count. If he cast his vote for
Fillmore, it would count for Fillmore if for
Fremont, it would count for Fremont This
would be fair and just, would leave no man in
doubt as 10 where his vote would go, and
would be the means of carrying the State "a
gainst Buchanan. The members of Congress
from this State have called a Convention to
meet at Harrisburg sometime in the month Of
September, for the purpose of adjusting the
difficulty, and we have no doubt it will be ar
ranged at that time to the satisfaction of both
sections. Our friends should not permit them
selves to become disheartened, for we have an
abiding confidence that all will yet end right
The man who would oppose a union electoral
ticket upon as just and fair a basis as the fore
going, must at heart be for Buchanan.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1856-08-06

\ MEETING was held in the Court House on
Saturday evening, ostcnsibly for the purpose
of selecting delegates tu the Convention to
form Fillmore electoral ticket, which met
yesterday at Harrisburg. So far as selecting
delegates goes, we have nothing to say against
it. The course, however, that was taken was
calculated to distract our own forces and en-
bitter men who should move in concert. 1t
always has been, and still is our desire to
unite the forces opposed to Buchanan, so as
TO enable us to carry the State against him.
To abuse the candidate OF one of the parties
opposed to Buchanan, as was done on this oc-
casion, is certainly lily calculated to effect
such desirable end. The spirit manifested
was anything but conciliatory, and, therefore,
imprudent, at least. Although very respec-
table number of persons were present, many
of whom were Locofocos who had gone thith-
er to witness the ..fun,'' we believe not over
ten or eleven identified themselves with the
movement. We will, however, for the pres
ent, refrain from further comment
