MIR. T. R. Sweeney, of New York. who was a
witness before the select Committee of the House.
and whose testimony duplicates Messrs. Gilbert
of New York, and Welch of Connecticut has re-
turned here from his home, to sustain his evi.
dence before the Committee. The New York Tri-
bune having alleged that his evidence was un-
true and that be had left the city TO avoid an in
dctment for perjury he has entered suit ngains:i
Tor SANDER. MIR. Sweeney has addressed letter
to the Select Committee stating that he has arriy-
ed and subject to its further orders ->.
The Legislature of Kansas which is now sitting.
will no doubt call a convention of the people Of
the State, to form State Constitution during the
coming summer. 1t is TO the advantage Of the
South to hive this question decided at once, as
from oil can learn she is fast losing ground in
that territory. This is owing to her own apathy
on the subject. She does not seem to conceive the
vital interests she has at stake upon the decision
of the question rs to whether Kansas shall be q
free or slave State. Her sons who have gone
out there to fight her battles are in an npover-
ished condition, and but little succor reaches
them from those whose title in slave property en-
able them as well as make it their duty to contrib
ute out OF their plenty but n small mite to keep
gallant band OF their own couDtrymen from starry
ing. The North has posts established all over the
territory where her anti-savery votaries, who are
needy, can obtain provisions free of oost The
sons of the South have no such advantages. If
they are hungry. it is only suchas are within
reach OF the charities of single Southern State
(Missouri) thnt can have their hunger appeased.
Missouri has done all that has been done Il can.
not be possible that she can long bear the burden
alone: Ii she gives way, all is gone. Kansas will
be Free State. all chance for restoring the
equilibrium in the Senate will be lost Inroads
fha
where it exists and the security of slave property
will be impaired. / am in possession Of the best
information from Kansas at all times, and will
keep your readers posted on the subject
The Judiciary Committee of the House have
reported unanimously q resolution impeachinp
Judge Watrous, of the United States District
Court OF Texas. The question comes up next
Monday. In the mean time great efforts are be-
ing made to legislate him out without the delay of
trial by impeachment, by dividing the State of
Texas into two Judicial Districts, thus necessita-
ting the appointment of two new Judges. This,
as said in previous letter, would be decidedly
wrong, until the question of impeachment be de-
c;dcd.
Senator Bright, of Indiana, has been re-nomi
mated for the Senate by the Democratic Caucus.
Grahom n. Fitch, who is an e1-member of Con-
gress, has been nominated for the vacant place.
Gov. Wright, n national asprant and man of
great character and talent, is to be satisfied with
place in the Cabinet
question of vital interests to the South in the
next administration is to have Southern Secrc
tary of the Interior. Secretary of the Interior,
by the Introduction of pill vending, psalm singing,
Bible preaching, Pharasaical Yankees into the
new Territories, as Indian Agent, Land Registers,
&c., can do more to spread free soilism and an
tasonlsm to slavery in the new Territories, than
all the other combined forts of the North.
