An INFAMOUS SUGeEsTloE.-The re-

through the New Yori. Tribune, announ-
ces that the admission Of Kansas as State
with the constitution lately adopted against

that sit lies with the House of Represen-
tatives to decide it." The mode of pro-
ceeding is disclosed IN the following infa-
nous suggestion
..Such being the state of the question,
we submit that case has arisen In which
the peoples House. is fully justified in
exertiDg TO the utmost its power over the
peoples purse to carry out the peoples will.
| If the Senate and Executive, In obedience
TO the slavery-extending faction, refuse to
to admit Kansas with its free constitution,
let the supplies be withheld. The osher-
wise nothing else than 10 put into The hands
of that remorsiess faction the means of in
volving the nation in blood and flames,
with the cuIl knowledge that they mean to
do it. After the nefasioas ayowels which
| Pierce made In his recent message-that
| he will sustain the acts of the ruffian Leg
islature-and the still more explicit dscla-
ration of the proclamation which we pub
lish this morning, would it be less than
madness to subject the national treasure TO
his expenditure, without some substantial
guarantee that it should not be use to MUIR
der the free State people of Kansas. or
some act putting it beyond his power TO
do so g.. Any representatiyeyof a free State
who votes dollar to the army OF which
Gen. Pierce is the constitutional comman-
der-in-chief, before such barrier is set
up In behalf of the settlers of Kansas,
ought to weigh the question of his person
al safety for some little time ahead. He
may be sure his vote will go to bring about
state of things very different from that

Whitfield and Reeder.

BY telegraphie dispatch in the St. Louis
papers of the 9TH, we learn that the Com
lnittee on Elections In the House of Rep
resentatives to whom was referred the con-
tested election case from Kansas, have re-
fused to hear Mr.. Whitiield's defense.
The dispatch did not state the grounds
of objection to Mr. W's defense, or what
were the conclusions of the committee as
Reeder's claim. We conclude as the
committee iscomposed mostly of abolition
lists, than anlattempt will be made to re-
iect both Winfield and Reeder, and In
violation flaw and all precedent refer
the case back With an order for new
election. But this we think will not sue
ceed, for all tho there is majority of the
House on the side of the abolitionists, yet
when a question of such vital interest, and
great moment as that is to be settled, the
more conservative portion of the fanatics
will act with the democratic party on the
final issue.
Since writing the above we have receiv-
ed The Republican of the 9TH, from which
we learn the following:
tThe Tribune's correspondent says that
Mr.. Stephens minority report in the Kan
sas election case is skilfully drawn. 1t is
in substance a demurrer, insisting that
Congress has no right TO look below the
surface Of the Kansas Legislature, but
