WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.
SENATE.-The Message of the Presi-
dent of the United States was received
and read.
Mr.. Douglas submitted motion for
the printing of the usual number of cop
les of the Message and documents, and
$1,000 copies thereof for the use of the
Senate. He remarked that he concurred
heartily and cordially in the views of the
President with the exception of that por-
ton relating to Kansas and the action o.
the Lecompton Convention. At an ear
ly day he would express his views and
give reasons why he believed that the
people of Kansas had not been left, as the
organic act declared, perfectly free te
form and regulate their institutions in
their own way.
Mr.. Gwynn offered a substitute that
all the printing be executed by the print
or to the Senate as at the last session.
Mr.. Stuart concurred in Mr.. Douglas
views respecting the Lecompton move
ment AT a future day he would speak
on the subject, and insist to the extent OF
his ability the peopla Of Kansas should
be treated like all others, and have the
fullest opportunity to regulate and have
such institutions as they wished to live
under.
Mr. Davis concurred in the views OF
the President on the Kansas question and
would await the promised remarks of Mr.
Douglas before he expressed his own
views.
Mr.. Bigler gave notice that he should
defend the position assumed by the Pres
ident to the best of his ability, and that
he would respond to Mr.. Douglas.
Mr.. Douglas accepted Mr.. Gwynn's
substitute.
Mr.. Hale spoke in opposition to the
constitution formed by the Lecompton
Convention, arguing that it perpetrates
slavery in Kansas, no matter whether the
people accepted or rejected the slavery
clause.
Mr.. Seward should be glad to hear thu
supporters of the President explain hi
position, for it seemed to him that tn,
Message was very lame and impotent IL
its argument on Kansas, and something
more would be required to satisfy thu
public mind than is contained in the doc
ument itself. He trusted that the debate
on this point would not be delayed long
for before we were aware of it there nigh
be civil war in Kansas.
After reviewing other parts of the mes
sage, he said he hoped that it would b.

ted States.

tive to Kansas affairs had come from

From the Utah Expedition and Kansas


ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 9.
| The letter to the Republican from the Utah
Expedition, the main points of which we tele
graphed yesterday, states that Col. Cooks com
mand was $50 miles west of Fort Lawrence, on
the Sd of November. Thus far the travelling
had been pleasant and easy, but now the wealth
er was getting colder, provisions getting scarce
provindcr giving out, and it was apparent tina,
great hardships were before them.
Still, notwithstanding the threats from Salt
Lake City, the entire army would proceed as
rapidly the clements and the supply Of food
would permit, to the winter quarters marked GU
by Col johnson on the Honey Fork Of Greer
River.
1t is rumored to be the intention of Brigham
Young to fight the troops this winter, as thu
best chance for an equal conflict, and then, be
fore achievements can be sent on in the spring
to destroy all the Mormon possessions in Utah
and proceed to some other country.
The Democrat has received letters from Kan
sas, containing two proclamations from Cal
houn, specifying the manner of election on the
2lst instant, for submitting the Constitution to
the people, and the first Monday in January fol-
election of state officers, and giving the names
of Commissioners for each county.
At a mass meeting at Leayenworth on the 18th
ult, a resolution was passed requesting the Ter
ritorial Legislature to meet at Lecompton on
December 3D.. The resolution was passed I'M
der the belief that Stanton will recognize the
Legislature so convened.
A resolution offered by Gen. Lane was unani-
mously adopted, pledging themselves, in case
Stanton declined to recognize the Legislature, to
put the Topeka government in motion. and
stand or fall by it.
A Democratic Convention is called for the
Oath inst
The Democrat learns from private sources
that Stanton had issued proclamation calling
special session of the Legislature, to be held
December It'll.

questionable sources. If he understood
the Presidents position-and he thought
he did-the Presidents position was i'm
pregnable.
Mr.. Trumbull denied that the Legis-
lature of Kansas had authority to initiate
the Convention. 1t was according to a
speech once delivered in the Senate by
Mr.. Buchanan himself, an act of usupa-
ton. Congress had repeatedly refused
authority to the people of Kansas to form
a State Constitution. Much had been
said about popular sovereignty; but this
now merely amounts, according to the
expositor of the party, to giving the free
white people OF Kansas the right to de-
termine the condition of few negroes,
while they are precluded from regulating
their own institutions in their own way.
Mr.. Brown said there seemed to be
great anxiety to enter into discussion, and
especially to find fault They had heard
the Message imperfectly read by the clerk,
and therefore could not propbably under
stand it. He asked Senators to pause and
sleep on the document before indulging
in debate which would go forth to the
country over Geographic wires, penetrat-
ing even to Kansas, and giving tone to
public opinion on the premises not yet
perfectly understood. He asked the SEN
ate to reflect before taking their position S
and uttering sentiments under circum-
stances to which he had referred on his
motion.
Adjourned.
HoUsE.-The House was occupied en-.
tirely except the time devoted to the read
ing of the Message, to debate on the
Partnership, without arriving at any con-
clusion.

Gem. walker and cant: navts.

Washington, June I7.--Gen. William Wal
ker has written a long letter to the President
of the United States. His statement, it is
thought, will result in a full investigation of
the conduct of Capt. Davis, of the st. Mary's.
It is said that the late secretary of the Navy
(Dobbin) has written a letter to the effect that
he did not use the name of Walker in bis in
structions to Davis, nor give him any direcz
tons as to the war in Nicaragua; but that the
object of sending the vessel of war to San Ju.
an was for the protection of American citi-
zens.

1t will be seen by a notice in another col
umn that a movement has been made among
the Wings of this city towards e~ffccting a re-.
organization of the party on its cid and we'll
tried principles. A meeting, in answer to a
numerously signed call of some of the most
prominent and influential members of the
party, was held at the st. Charles Hotel, a fe v

sentiments in regard to the movement, its poll.

whose names will be found appended to The
notice alluded to. Among them it will be

cheering news which this paragraph contains.
The old Wing party again in power! We
cannot believe it. Events that are approach

attempts at regeneration.
