Debate on the Reeder Case
Washinpton. Feb. 10.

W EOO.
Mr.. Hickman, from the Committee on
Elections, offered a resolution empowering
the Committee to send for persons and pa
pers in the Kansas contested election case.
Mr.. Phelps thought the exercise of such
power would be an usurparation; as Mr..
Reoder does not claim that he was elected
BY virtue Of the laws passed by the Kansas
Legislature. He defended his constituents
from the charge of being Border Rufians,
which had been reported here and elsewhere
and by ono Senator Wilson, who comes
from State where men war on defenseless
women and burned ursuline converts. He
earnestly condemned the anti-slavery men
in Kansas, and claimed that the Missourians
desire not tho shedding of blood but to sus-
tain the laws.
Mr.. Washburne, of Maine, regretted that
Mr. Phelps had indulged in such remarks.
They were exceedingly exciting, not to say
infammatory. A large majority of the
people in this country believe in their hearts
that there was no Legislature in Kansas, no
laws and nothing under which the election
had been held by which Mr.. Whitfield
claimed his seat as delegate. This matter
should be investigated, and he asked how
it could be done unless power to send for
persons and papers was granted.

Washington, Feb. l6.
Gov. Shannon will leave this P. NJ. direct
for St. Louis, and thence to Kansas. I'm
mediately on arrival, he will remove his of
from Shawnee Mission to Lecomton, the
center of the prevailing difficulties. Or
ders will be issued this P. NJ. from the War
Department, and will probably be conveyed
by Gov. Shannon to Col. Sumner at Fort
Leavenworth. These orders will no doubt
be in accordance with the Presidents views
as expressed in his late special Kansas mes
sage and the recent proclamation, with the
design firmly to enforce them.
There are 500 troops at Fl. Leavenworth
and 400 at Fort Riley who are to be called
out if circumstances demand it.
The Republican association of Washing
ton arc making strenuous efforts to establish
similar societies in every city, town and vii
lage in the Union.
They design also to scatter broadcast
speeches, documents, &c, on the slave ques-
and have already prepared l62, 900 copies in
English and 10000 in German of the
speeches and writings of Messrs. Seward,
Hale and others

The True american PIatforn,.

The 18th of FEBRUARY, the day appointed
for the sitting of the National American
Council at Philadelphia, is near at hand
That session is to be followed on tho 22d
February, by National American Conven-
ton for the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President if the Order
shall deem it expedent to make such nomi-
nations. We believe that it is the general
sentiment of the Anti-Ne Nebraska members of
the Order in Ohio, who constitute nineteen
twentieths of the whole number, that no
nominations should be made at that time,
but that all the opponents of Slavery Ex-
tension should meet together in National
Convention, as they did in Ohio in last July
and nominate candidates to. represent the
A nti-E Extension side of the issue which they
have forced upon US. These liberal Ameri-
cans stand on the Platform proposed by
Thos. Spooner,in the November Convention
at Cincinnati. We republish that document
today, and hope, our brethren of the press
will also lay it before their readers, that all
may have an oportunity of considering its
truly American doctrines and propositions.

The Tariff to be Amended.

Now I ORR, Feb. TO.
The Times of this morning says: %We
learn on good authority that the important
revision of our present tariff recommended
by Secretary Guthrie, meets the hearty ap-
proval of the Committee on WAYS and
Means of which Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, is
at the head, who will shortly report tariff
bill drafted under the advice of Mr.. James,
of Rhode Island, and other large mannfac-
turers, which will fix the import duty on all
goods made in whole or part of wool, dye
stuffs, raw silk, and all raw materials free.
1t is understood that this bill meets the ap-
probation of the President and Cabinet"

From Kansas.

st. Louis, Feb. 16.
The Leavenworth Herald of the 9th saws
that preliminary meeting was held there
on the I'd inst, at which it was determined.
as an offset to the influences of Free State
agents sent abroad, to send Geo. Mclean
on tour to the Southern States in order To
give the pro-slavery people there the aspects
Of the case and urge Southerners toemigrate
to the Territory and aid in rescuing it from
the hands of the Aboltionists.
The Herald further states that Robinson,
Lane, and Brown, of Lawrence, are doing
everything to bring on the very civil wal
which they affect to apprehend, and that
many of the Free State men in the Territory
refuse to follow them into rebellion
againt the federal authority, and territorial
laws.
The Kansas Herald of Freedom says that
Robinson and Lane have adopted precau-
tionary measures, and organized regiment;
that the forts are being guarded day and
night; and that munitions of war are being
collected in readiness for instant service
An attack is also expected at Topeka. The
Herald appeals to its friends north and east
to hold themselves ready to march to the
rescue at a moments notice; and says that
the blow may be struck at any time; that
the struggle will be in earnest; and that the
people of Kansas will stand upon their
rights, and die before they viii surrender
them.
The Presidents special proclamation to
Kansas, it appears, had reached Leayen-
worth, but not Lawrence.

shannon to Go Baek to Kansas

New York, Feb. 10.
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce telegraphs:
"Gen. Quitman, it is said, declares he
never will report bill for sending troops to
Kansas to butcher American citizens, wheth-
er of one or the other side of the question at
issue"
The Washington correspondent of the
Herald telegraphs:
"Gov. Shannon had quite a protracted
interview with the President to-day with
reference to the policy to be pursued by
him in Kansas. He leaves tomorrow di-
rect for Kansas, clothed with full power to
execute and carry out all the laws Of the
Territory He also carries with him in
structions to Col. Sumner, who has charge
of 500 troops at Fort Leavenworth, to be in
readiness for any emergency that may arise.
"The Governors instructions are mild
and conciliating but should it become nee
'essary, in order to quell and put down an
insurrection in the territory, to use every
power which the General Government can
bring to bear, he is authorized to do so.-
Letters received by Governor Shannon this
evening direct from Kansas state that the
Free State men are making extensive pre-
parations for a desperate fight. Munitions
of war and men are constantly arriving from
the Free States. He anticipates civil war.
The letters also say that they are fortifying
every point. Large sums of money have
been contributed within the last few days
by Southern men to raise and equip compa-
uies in the South to send to Kansas.

X. N. Convention at Philadelphia.
New York. Feb. 90.

The Tribune's report of the doings of the

the motion to strike out the 18th section
will probably be made by southern man,
and the northern delegates are quite conf
dent it viii be carried. Then the Ohio
men will propose the minority resolution Of
June, ,.and go out unless that Is inserted OF
something quite as strong.
10 P. M-Some of the Northern men
who have been in caucus tonight talk
confidently of success, not only in abolish
ing the 18th section, but in substituting an
anti-Nebraska or Republican clause. If 50,
of course the South viii bolt The South
ern members in caucus tonight decided to
stand by the 18th section to the last. The
Northern delegates in caucus decided that
the 18th section must come out if they
remain in. They will not gointo tie caucus
with prO-slavery platform, under any cir
cumstances.
