Kansas, and moved that it be printed
On this motion debate ensued, in which
Messrs Butler and Bayard opposed it, and
Mr.. Cas- advocated it, until the hour for
taking up the special order arrived when it
was laid aside.
The House bounty land blll--the special
order for half. past 12-was then taken up,
and Mr.. Foot was engaged in advocating it az
we went to press.
In the House, Mr.. Ball moved to suspend
the rules to enable him to introduce a resolu.
ton according to the Committee on the Public
Buildings and Public Grounds clerk, ct four
dollars per diem, as long as they may deem
the services of one necessary; rules not sus
pended.
Mr.. Phelps moved to 60 into Committee of

ZIONIST in his stead, if that be necessary to
compass his defeat.
There is food for reflection on the part Of
the Fillmoreites of the South in these brief
extracts from the Erpress-ample food for
serious reflection, indeed.
Senator Seward.-It was expected this
morning that Mr. Seward-Mr. Geyer giving
way for the time being-would commence his
speech on the Kansas question. If he does
so, he will occupy the attention of the Senate
until late hour, if not through to-morrow's
session also. His reputation as reasoner
and investigator will, of course, draw an i'm
mense crowd to the Sen ate chamber.
Mr.. Geyer's deserved oratorical fame will
also insure a very large audience Of the tai
emit, distinction and fashion of the federal
metropolis to the Senate chamber whenever
he may deliver his expected speech.
There is q Complies Union between the
three opposition parties running guberna-
torial candidates in the Connecticut election
that takes place to-day-that is, for candidates
for the Legislature, who are probably to elect
the Governor and Lieutenan. Governor even
tually. In nearly every town in the State,
the Wings, Know Nothings, and Republicans
have combined on the same Legislative can
didates. Under such circumstances, we con-
fess that We shall be surprised, indeed, if they
fail, thus united, to beat the Democrats.

LETTER FROM DR.. SAYER.-We are glad to
learn from the following letter that our fair
friend has reached her home in safety, and
that her trip thither was so satisfactory We
hope, also, that her Washington visit afforded
pleasing membranes enough to her to in
duce speedy repetition:
PINE Corr, April 3, 1856
Editor of tie Star: You said l must drop
you a note occasionally in my wanderings
and this is the first moment of time could
call my own to give another. Home again
for few short days; and what contrast to
my Southern life. No hustle, strife or tur-
mOil no alarums to awaken me from the quiet
of dream-l land nought save the quiet of q
most retired country home, among the snow
banks and neighbOring mud -ruts, shutting
one within doors with mock defiance as the
warm sun woos us lovingly to come forth and
luxuriate beneath its smiling face Spring
kisses with her warm breath the huge snow
banks, which melt softly before her ardent
gaze, sufusing the earth with torrents of tears,
and wearing deep burrows into its aged, though
icy cheeks. You are, doubtless, luxuriating
amidst the spring breezes, mellowing your
soil for the waiting plowshare, while we are
jogging through the snow banks, miring in
the mud, or tipping in the gutter. Yet this
Is lovely spot Wnen nature smiles her sweet

sombre dress, step forth in purer, greener,

stopped I met such kind, noble friends, not
afraid to recognize my individuality lest they
should tarnish their own. In Baltimore, my
reception was most kindly by the press, while
it did me good to talk before such an enthu
siastic audience. The hall was very large,
causing the number to seem less than there

hundred out zach evening, nearly double the

ception from several old and some new friends
in Philadelphia. especially the gallant, noble
hearted Col. w., of the Sun, who interested
himself in my welfare, for which retain the
kindliest remembrance. All of this, and much
more, fertilizes the oasis in the desert of exist
ence, DER which the rude tempest of the world
riots harshly, poisoning by its simeon breath
the hopes and aspirations struggling for gu
premacy. L. SAVER.

Correspondence Of the Fcliciana Democrat.

| Baron RouGr LA Feb. 14th. 1856
On yesterday an address to remove from tho
Office Of Sheriff of New Orleans, Joseph Hufty
was introduced into the House and reads a frs,
time. 1t will have to be read three several
days, concurred in by the Senate and signed
by the Governor, before II con take effect.
You will see by reference to the document
itself the reasons set forth in clear and unmis.
taxable terms There will be no lodging the
issue. The laws have been violated, the consti
tuition disregarded. and the Ballot box trampled
under foot by set Of lawless men whereby the
rights, Of large number Of votes were sacri.
feed: some were killed others beat, and driven
from the polls and not a few were deferred from
going to the election from the danger which
threatened their lives If they made the attempt.
This is a matter that rises above any party con-
sderations. The constitution has provided, as
a great conservative feature in our system, that
the Legislature may remove oil Officers by an
address Of q majority Of both houses, when an
exigency arises, which demands it. That ext
gency has arisen, and the people expect it
at the hands Of their representatives. Threats
Of civil war, personal danger Of the lives Of
the members and other means Of intimidation
are resorted to, to ovcrawe them from the
discharge Of their sworn duty by those who
are willing to profit by the unlawful, and dis
graceful means employed to defeat the will Of
the people, in November, last, by destroying
the ballot boxes votes, at several Of the pre-
cincts in New Orleans. These threats will
have no influence in.governing the action Of the
members Of the Democratic party in either
house. There is solemn conviction resting
upon the mind Of every one Of them, that they
have high and sacred duty to perform, and
,ome what will they are determined to per-
orm it. They will have the proud conscious.
less Of having faithfully discharged their duty
o their constituents whom they represent, the
he contribution. they have swrnc to support
md to their country, which they love above all
rice. In after years, they will look upon it,
mong the most important service they have
een able, in their lives, to render in the great
ause Of popular government and the equal
ights Of the citizen under the proyioions Of our
tate Constitution, and eternal principles of
nstice.
