as heartily favored the proposition IS any one;
so that the resolution passed by. think, 6
majority.
This is about fair test Of our strength and
trust il will be sufficient TO secure the rt jac.
eetiOn Of Whitfield and the admission Of Kan.
sas as Free lais-atleast so far as the House
is concerned.
1t has be zen asked: Why don't you press
a direct vote on the rejection Of Whitfield and
the admission Of Reeder?' The answer is es-
sy: although the facts upon which the contest
is founded are historical and known 70 every
one, they are not stated and proven in that ls.
gal form required BY the election Law. II
might be said that this is q question outside Of
an election laW-that it is one Of usurpation
and invasion, not a mere inequality or fraud.
That is true, and for one, would be willing 10
act upon that view: but others, wiser and more
cautious think we not only ought to prove the
right on our side, but also the legal iorms.-
This position is strengthened by the further
facts, tha. so far as the contest for Delegate is
concerned. both Reeder aud Whitfield now, in
substance, stand upon footing of equalily.-
Neither can vOte--bOth have seats upon the
hoor-bOth will draw pay, and both will be
heard upon the merits of the contest The only
difference is that oueis recognized as the sitting
Delegate and the other as the eontesting Del
sgate. But, for all practical purposes, they
have the same rights now. Therefore it was
that no objection was made to Whitfeld's be-
ing sworn, and that We now wait until the re-
port Of the committee shall give us the faeus in
legal form. Upon tdis report will depend, to
some extent, our action in admitting Kanzas
and in passing laws fOr the protection Of its ci:-
zens.
Truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

before the country rests elsewhere than on the
head Of Gov. Re edeT Has the Hon. Member
from Missouri so soon forgot that the invasion
Of kaazas was from his own State? And
when the Hon. Gentleman says be did not sp-
prove Of it; it will be news to me. Does be
not know thatIf Missouri approves, she must
share the shame? But she will not do Il. And
was surprised to hear what did hear from

they sent him here in accordance with the
Higher Law and the Lower Law-the law Of
Self preservation aud the Law Of Self-iefense.
II he has not right here who has? Gen.
Whitseld comes here the fruit of an election
ordered by spurious LegSlature-a Legis-

Letter from Hon. John Sherman.

The Saudusky Register contains a letter
from this gentleman, which will be read with
interest at the present time, Mr.. Sherman Oc.
cupies the position of chairman of the investi-
eating committee upon the Kansas frauds and
difficulties. His views Of these outrages are
such as to induce him to make thorough scru.
tiny. He has the necessary intelligence, tact
and energy to perform his duties properly, and
we have no doubt he will give such report as
will place the border rufians before the world
IN their true character, Journal.
WASHINGTON CRY. March 10, 1856.
DEAR slRs:--The House, to day. resolved
that it would send comlnittea Of three OF its
members to examine fully into the affairs of
Kanzas. Iregard this as by lar the most i'm
portant act Of this session, not excepting the e.
lection of speaker. Compared with it. every
other proposed measures was partial in its ef
feet. Nothing but thorough inv estigatiOn
conducted under the order Of the House, car
present to the people the extent of the wron g
that have been inflicted upon the citizens o
that infant Territory. Oyerrun by invaders
foreign to their residence, their Interests and
their rights, with the whole Executive powe
Of the Government against them, they were
compelled to choose between submission to the
worst OF tyranny or TO arm for resistance. -
When they appealed for protection against an
organized force in ueighboring powerful St ate
they were entirely neglected by the President
T vice overrun, driven from their ballot boxes,
with Legislature chosen by their self-consti-
tuted rulers, usurping all the forms of govern
ment over them, they were driven to orgsnizs
for their OWN protection. A second time they
were invaded, and nothing but their determined
defence at Lawrence saved them from complete
and absolute subjection to the State Of Missouri
When they had thus evinced their power to de-
fend themselves, the President, for the first
time, called into requisition the United States
troops, but only for the purpose of compelling
submission to a worse than Draconian Code
made by their invaders.
Under these circumstances, they appealed to
the House Of Representatives, for an sxamina-
ton and redress Of their grievances. 1t is sur
prising that any objection should have been
made to this investigation. One would think
that no party and no section would dare smoth-
er without inquiry, SO gross a wrong upon
people entirely under the protection of Congress
and yet, for days and weeks this inquiry was
resisted with sheeres; technicalities; and above
all, the friends Of the Administration struggled
in every way, to defeat it. On the final vote
to day, every member from Slave State, and
the very few friends Of the President from the
Free States, voted against an examination; and
they exhibited an interest in it equal to thai
shown in the election of Speaker. Fortunate
", the North was not SO divided as it had beer
and all these gentleman who held us SO lonG
in suspense on the Speakership voted in
body with the Republicans. Dunn, Scott

The Kanzas Question Epitomized.
Remarks Of Gen. Granger ofN Y in the House
of Representatives. March 18, 1856.

Irise. Sir. t. say but few words. The
question is not Sir. whether Gov. Reeder OF
Gen. Whitfield shall occupy seat on this floor
but whether you will or will not grant to the
Committee on Elections power to serd for per
sons aud papers. Sir. what has this Committee
to do? 1t has to investigate and report sub.
jeCt ofdeep and pervadng interest to the whole
Of the American people. Millions of our con-
sliuents are now watching with intense inter-
est the action of this Committee. And shall
we, Sir. deny them the aid required. and block
the wheels and cripple the energies Of this Com
mittee at the outset? For the honor of thi:
House and the welfare OF the country, trus
not. But why this opposition! Why this at
tempt to shroud this investigation in darkness'
The reasons given seem to me unsatisfactory
contradictory and baseless. TIE honorable
gentleman from Virginia. Mr.. Letcher) in
maintaining the other side of the question.
took occasion to say that if the administration
of this Government was taken from the party
that now holds it, the Union would be dissolv-
ed. Sir, these threats have been so often re-
peated and from the same gu arter, that they
have become stale, ,iusipid aud scarce ly deserve
a passing notice. s uch threats are idle.-
They cease to disturb. Like the rattle in the
tail of a tonthleGs snake, they are heard with
out alarm. Dissolve this Unionl Who dis
solve il? The North will not: the South dare
not, the world in arms can not. Away with
such silly nonsense. The Hon. Member from
Maryland (Mr. DaVis) denies us jurisdiction
There he comes in conflict with the Ccnstitu-
ton, The Constitution is clear on that point.
1t says expressly that Each House shall be
the Judge of the election returns and qualih-
cations of its own members" There is not
legislative body in the world that does not ex'
ercse this power over its own Members, and e.
ven to expel Member at discretion. The
Hon. Gentleman fought gallantly but he fought
'As one that beateth the air.
He dealt fearful blows, but his adversary was
beyond his reach. 1t was pity such valor
was wasted. Sir, the Hon. Member from Ma.
rylaud was on the wrong side. The Hon. Mem.
Der from Missouri (Mr. oliver) charges the
Massachusetts Aid Society with malpractice.
If the charge is true why not investigate. -
He charges the Kanxas settlers with having
rifles. Is it possible? What! Freemen have
arms in their handsI Who ever heard Of these
rifles till KanEas was invadedG Then, Sir, you
did hear of them, Then they came out and
spoke for themselves, Il 10 charged that tb'

English paper thus puts it:
10 dream Of mill-stOnes round your neck
is sign Of what you may expect if you get an
extravagant wife. To dream that you are
lame is a token that you will get into hobbe.
When young lady dreams of coffin, bete-
kens that she should instantly discontinue la
cling her stays tightly, and also 60 wsrnly and
thickly shod in wet weather. If you dream
of clock, it is token that you will gain cred.
it--that is tick. To dream of FIRE is sign
that ifyou are wise you will see that the lights
in your house are out before you go to bed
To dream that your nose is red at the tip is On
intimation that you had better leave of bran
dy and water. To dream Of walking barefoot.
ed denotes aiournsy that you will make boot
