The CHARACTER OF THE Kansas SrRuG

The CHARACTER OF THE KANSAS STRUG-
GLE.-It is reported in Washington that JEFF
ferson Davis of Mississippi is to be installed
as the actual leader OF the administration
forces against Douglas, and his principles Of
popular sovereignty. The weakness of the
forces that have been brought against him, in
Bigler, Greer, Fitch and few other small
lights, who have been utterly sxtingulshcd
in the fight, makes the propriety of selecting
leaker of force, very apparent, unless the
Administration reinquishes its whole ground
as untenable, which some have supposed
they were inclined to do. But the contest
will very speedily assume its true form and
character. 1t will be found to be struggle
OF the ultra frc-eaters against the great body
Of the national democracy. The ultra pro-
slavery men-those who are for slavery al
ways and everywhere-and who support any
measure that promises to extend 1t, are tn,
only Jealous champions Of the Lecompsor
Constitution.

OF The Democratic party Of Kansas
has taken very strong and decided
grounds against the Lecompton Constitu-
ton and in favor of Mr.. Douglas posi-
ton. OF twenty newspapers published
in the Territory only one does not de-
nounce the action of the Convention as a
fraud upon the people. A call for .
democratic Territorial Convention I"
has been published and signed by promi-
nent Democrats, proposing to throw aside
the Lecompton Constitution and petition
Congress to pass an act enabling the
citizens Of Kansas to organize a State
Government. The fact that the Demo.
cratic party in Kansas are allied to Mr.
Douglas and approve of his policy, can.
not be denied by the administration
press {; and the Herald, while admitting
the truth Of that position, SANDERS tn,
citizens Of Kansas who have the indie
pendence to dissent from Mr. Buchan
ans views.
The honest and sensible people of Kan
sss will Iepudiate the Lecompton Con
stitution, and Mr. Douglas position will
be indicated not only by majority Q
his party in the States. but by the Demo
cratic party Of Kansas.

FROM UTAH.-A private express had ar
rived at Fort Leavenworth which reported
that two companies Of the U. 8. troops had
been attacked and worsted in a fight with
the Indians and Mormons beyond Fort
Laramie, and an attack was threatened upon
the fort, which was very weakly garrisoned.
The report was not credited by Gen. Harvey
ut Fort Leavenwortb. The army under Col.
johnson will not attempt to enter Salt Lake
city this winter, but will camp in the valleys
forty miles beyond Fort Bridger if they sue
coed in getting so far. Large numbers Of
the animals had persisted and they were un-
der the necessity of sending back and doubl-
ing teams to make any progress at all with
their trains.
At the last accounts the Troops were only
a few miles from Fort Bridger. Their pro-
gress was exceedingly slow, sometimes only
making two or three miles day, and ther
eneamping in the night. The horses, mules
and it is said to be not worth while to con
ceal the fact that all the animals will perisl
this winter. But they would soon reach
position where they could defy the Mormon
! and where the elements could not harm
them. All the supply trains were with tn
troops and contained provisions enough 70
the whole army till Spring. Fort Bridge
!. is ll3 miles from Salt Lake city; but betwee
, the Lake and the City is where all the dit
4 fcult passes occur, where the drifting sno'
i. fills up the kaaOnS and passes, and an impas
= sable barrier is presented to the march
i the troops until next Spring.
There are now thirty companies of the
S. troops IN Kansas who will take up the
= line of march for Utah as soon as the Sprir
= opens.
