Yesterday, states that Col. Cooks COM
mand was $50 miles west of Fort Laramie
on the third of November. Thus far the
travelling had been pleasant and easy, but
now the weather was growing colder, pro-
visions getting scarce and provender giving
out, and it was apparent that great hard
ships were before them. Still. notwith-
standing the threats from Salt Lake City,

the spring, to destroy all the Mormon pos
sessions in Utah, AMI proceed to some 9th

WASHINGTON, Tuesday. Dec. s.
To-day should be marked with white
stone. If the promise of to day shall be
fulfilled to morrow, we arc ut the dawn of a
new era IN our history at the beginning of
a momentous political contest The re-
marks of Mr.. Douglas in the Senate to-day
are almost universally considered decisive
Of his ultimate secession from the Admin
istration and from the South The South
ern Senators, Mason and Davis, plainly
showed that they 50 considered it, by their
tone and manner. a Southern Senator
congratulated General Wilson on the ac-
cession of Mr.. Douglas to the Republican
party: "You have got new leader, who
will lead You to the devil, as he has lead
us" This was clearly confession of IA
fact which every year will make more con
conspcious-that the passage of the Ne
braska- Kansas act, although an apparent
triumph, was in reality the beginning of the
ruin of the Democratic party

Thing. remarks the Chicago Tribune,
OF Saturday. are coming to a crisis at
Washington. The split between DouGLAs
and the administration is rapidly widening,
and important political events are coming
to heal. FIRST, we learn that Acting
Governor and Secretary STANTON, has
complied with the urgent petition of the
people of Kansas, and convened an extra
session of the Territorial Legislature
That body accordingly met at Lecompton
last Monday, the 7th instant Stirring

IE- The Presidents Message occupies
such large portion of our space to-day,
that we have little room for any thing else.
We have read it hastily, and are not, there
fore. if we had space, prepared to comment
on it. With the exception of his remarks
on Kansas affairs, we noticed nothing we
seriously objected to in our hasty perIlsal
of it. We regret his want of candor. at
least, in regard ia what he says under this
head. He says that the slavery question
has been fairly submitted to the people,
and that this question is the only one at
issue among the people. Both are lies, as
the CHI ago Tribune expresses it, with in
tent to steal.
