WASHINGTON, Saturday, JAM &c, 1856.
In order to bring the responsibility directly home
to the President, of preserving peace in Kansas
and of repelIing outrages from Missouri, the Com
| mttee on Territories in the Senate to which the
recent Message was referred, will probably report

| its Recommendation. Or else one of its members
will bring forward the proposition on his own ac-
count. 1t seems to be pretty well understood that
Gov. Reeder will accept the invitation indirectly
rendered by the President, and publish reply to
the serious allegations preferred against him. This
is the first time in our public history where the

controversy to an individual, or departed from the
usage of dealing with public concerns according to
their appropriate relations.
