Senstcr Douglass speech attracted large aud.
ierce to the Senate. It Was clear, logical add coa'
elusive, sbou dirg lees in rev IDEAS than In the
srsumentstive preser taton Of facts connected with
the Nebrs.k. bill, and proceedings under it. His
m,in proposition was distinctly, that the Lscomp-
ton Convention had no right to form Constitution
at all. or to DO more than present petition 10 Con-
gre.s which might be accepted asa Constitution
within the 6i,cIetion Of Congress. He asserted
that the position tf the President was subEer'lys
Of TIE whole principle Of the Nebraska bill, aud sI
plaired i. by reason Of bis Absence from the coun'
Try a. the tine, and hi, ignorance Of the motives
which operated on its passage.
Referring to the probability Of the Constitution
coming before Congress without Slavery, be said
that that would not change the aspect of the case,
for, Though il might be returned as such, that faos
va. no guaranty that it had been so voted. Be
side the principle Of repudatng an in'tru nent,
not fairly submitted to the people was the same,
irrespective Of the form in which it appeared here
He advocated the passage Of an enabling act, IS
the only mode Of curing radical errors.
Senator BiRler endeavored to answer, but only
succeeded in completing himself with PERSONAL
ties. He charged that Douglas supported the
Tcom!s bill, which contemplated 10 submission to
tie people. This allegation was answered BY the
assertion that such submission was to be presumed.
Bigler rtjoiIed by q statement alleging that that
very point had been discussed before the introduc
ton of the bill, and intimstng that it had been with
Douglass knowledge and participation. Dough-.
demanded the time ard plice. Bisler answered that
Douglass own house had been the scene Of the con-
ference on the subject; but then relieved Douglas
from having favored the imputstion of the propc.
siiiOp.
Two Senator's were present to-day who attended
that conference-St and Bigss; and it was OBJ
served tbst TIE former left the Senate during the
episode, while the latter has distinct recollection
of the facts.
A remarkable contrast was presented between
tho effect of the speech today and that Of those BY
the same speaker last session. Then crowds con-
grstulated Douglas; to day-none, though the
galleries spontaneously andgenarously responded.
A breach in the Democratic ranks is now newt
able. There is no possibility of reconciliation.
The President makes his position strict test, aud
the other side feel ready for on his nominations
By retaliation Some Of the Northern Democracy
hesitate TO take ground they are looking after
patronage.
E.Ttus far, Meisrs. B'gler, Thompson Wright,
Prgh, Bright Fitch and Jones' sustain the Ad-
ministrstiOn. Douglas Stuart and Broderck are
in opposition. Allen and G win are doubtful. Mr..
Pu,h Informed Steadmsn yesterday of bis determ-
nation.
The President received dispatch last night an
nounciDg that Secretary Stanton had summoned
the Kan.as legislature to meet on Monday last,
and sert message TO the Senate to-day removing
him, and appointing Mr.. Denver, Commissioner Of
Ind.n affairs, to the vacancy. He assigns as rsa-
sen for this that the movement conh:cted with his
peicy. Instructions had been cent to Secretary
Stspkn not to convene TIE Legislature. Denver
went to Kansas few days aso on Indian business,
ard his appointment is temporary, intended TO pro-
vide .or apy eI gency that may arise. The nomins-
ton wss laid over to-day on motion of Senator Bel.
This new phase of affairs gives the President much
concern, and may impsrt an unexpected shape to
the whole question.
Gov. Hammond, the new Senator from South
Carolina viii not be here till after Christ mas. He
is no longer of the school of disunion ultras.
