THE New SPEAKER. - The New York
Post, in speaking of Col Orr, the new Speak
err, thus describes him -
Col Orr is man about forty, of large
Frame of rotund stomach, and with set of
lungs of immense power. When he rises to
catch the speakers attention, his shrill voice
scars above the tumult of the house like the
whistle of a locomotive. He is singularly
prompt, quick witted in argument and retort
and pays the closest attention to every detail
of the House business. The dullest and pro-
siest declaimer can boast of an attentive lis
ten in Orr, and, it is rather ominous to new
conner in debate, when that fiat haired South
Carolinian, with threadbare faded black
coat, leans forward, puts one hand to his ear,
cocks his eye towards the new member, like
contempative rooster looking after clear
weather, and asks whether he rightly under
stood the last remark of the honorable gem
tleman, and if so, would like to inquire, &c,
&c. 1t is quite ordeal to go through
Orr is man Of the world, of pleasant So
cial feelings, and thus is enabled to put
through the partisan work he assumes more
effectually than person of more austerity
and ostentation."

OF SECRETARY STANTON.

REMOVAL OF SECRETARY STANTON.
WAsnrNaroN, Dec. o.-The administra-
finn bav;ng beon odv;sed Inv telagrnnb TINT
acting Gov. Stanton had called a special meet
ing of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas,
the President to-day forthwith removed him,
and nominated to the Senate, as his success
sor, Gen. Denver, now Commissioner of ln-
dian Affairs, who left Washington for the
West last week. The reason for the removal
OF Mr.. Stanton is, that he has violated the in
struotions heretofore given to Gov. Walker
and himself, to do no act which could possi-
bly, disturb the peace of the Territory, but to
exert all the means in their power to preserve
it. The sole object and purpose of the con-
vening of the Legislature, il is considered,
can be only to eneender strife, and embarrass
The people in voting on the slavery question
in the form proposed by the Constitutional
Convention. There was no definite action by
the Senate on Gen. Denver's nomination.
1t is anticipated that heated discussion
will take place when that subject again comes
before that body in secret session. Last week
instructions were sent to Mr.. Stanton to take
every precaution to prevent disturbances at
the ensuing election, and TO afford free and
unobstructed exercise OF the elective fran
chise'
Doubts are expressed as to whether Gov.
walker name VIII be sent to the Senate Tor
confirmation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--The nomination
of Col. Richardson as Governor of Nebraska,
was confirmed by the Senate. The appoint
ment implies that his position on the subject
of Kansas is satisfactory to the administra-
ton.
Gen. Denvcrs appointment as Secretary of
State of Kansas, was confirmed by 20 Demo
cratic Yctgs, to 10 Republicans against it.
Mr., Douglas was absent. Gen. Denver has
been telegraphed to. at Boonville
The removal OF Gov Walker is daily ex-
pected. 1t is stated on high authority that

NICK BRUNELLE's SPEEcH.-We have OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Darling, the substance, and
as near as he could repeat them, the words,
of the speech of Nick Brunette to his gang
of burglars, on the day of the attempt on Mr..
Murphys store. Though not as eloquent as
the speech of Logan, or as some of the efforts
of Patrick Henry, it will be allowed to be
pithy and forcible.
NIoKs SPEEcH.-"Boys listen to me-
We take this man Darling in with u.s.
Some of you had doubts of him; but / hayn't
any. l saw him steal pair of pants from
Benn's store, in broad daylight, which was
smarter than / ever was If we get into
trouble you must swear for him, as you have
before now for yourselves and me.
"Boys you've been smart. You went in
to McIean's shoe shop, and we took ALL
That's the way to do. Now, boys, you know
have beena father to you. have brought
you up from babies have taught you well
and you have done we'll. And now tonight
we will break into Turks store, and to-mor-
row night we will go into Murphy's store
kill Murphy, take his money, take his goods,
and burn the store to the ground--for dead
men tell no tales.
'.Now hear me! If this Darling tells a
thing of our doings | will kill him, and if any
of you blabs word will shoot you dead.
That is all. y
Mr.. Darling tells us that Nick's control
over his 'boys," was absolute No one
thought of opposing his plans, or questioning
his authority. This is his third sentence to
the States prison.--Free Press.

The WORLD MovEs.--In 1850, Senator
Seward pursued his journey from Auburn to
the Senate Chamber without the company of
a single sympathzing political friend. Mark
the change Now he is joined at Albany by
his own colleague, Preston King, by Solomon
Foot and Jacob Collamer of Vermont. At
New York he meets Senator Hamlin and Fcs-
sender of Maine, Hale and Clark of New
Hampshire, Sumner and Wilson of Massa-
chusetts, Foster and Dixon of Connecticut,
and Simmons of Rhode Island. At Philadel-
phia and Baltimore the company is further in
creased by Cameron of Pennsylvania, Wade
of Ohio, Chandler of Michigan, Trumbull of
Illinois, Harlan oflowa, and Durkee and Doc
little of Wisconsin. Instead of solitary No
in the Senate Chamber to the demands of the
slave power, its walls will now echo to TWEEN
ty voices. This number will soon be swelled
by new Senator from Iowa, and we trust
two from Kansas, and perhaps, if rumor
proves true, one from California. Vori.y, we
may take courage and work on The right
must surely triumph.-Albany Evening Jour
nal.

In its editorial review of the Presidents
message, the New York Commercial AdveHi-
ser says
son the Kansas difficulty the President
dwcls at great length. 1t is evidently the
embarrassing question of his administration
and his party. We cannot say that he has
treated the subject with any approach to the
fairness which would have become SO high a
functionary as the Chief Magistrate of this
Union. On the contrary there is an amount
of Partially and special pleading positively
painful. The real issues of the matter arc
slurred over, and other points not directly
bearing upon the cause Of dissatisfaction are
magnified so as to conceal this evasion.

ASoTHER Blow AT FREE KANsAs.-rhe
Z. S. Land Office has been removed from
Doniphan to Kickapoo. The former place
has the misfortune, in administration eyes, to
be a Free State town, while the latter is no
torious for its pro-slavery frauds. This re-
moyal is pay in hand from Mr.. Buchanan for
the spurious votes cast there at the last cleo
ton. 1t is evidently determined at head
quarters that Kansas shall be slave State,
if executive patronage and the control of the
land system can effect it.--St. Louis Demo

KANsAs-A NEW TEST OATH!

KANSAS-A NEW TEST OATH
The Lecompton Constitution has at length
emerged from the hands of the revising com
lnittee, and the country can now see what it
contains 1t proves to be worse than the
worst anticipations of its most jealous enc
mics.
Among its iniquitous features, the chief
and most sweeping in its effects, is new
TEST OATH. which was intended to pre-
vent the Free State men from voting upon
the Slavery clause, ON the 2lst Of December.
The vote upon the Slavery clause is pro-
vided for in the seventh section of the sched-
ule Section nine of the schedule is in the
following words:
ANY person offering to vote at the aforesaid election
upon said Constitution, shall if challenged take an oath
support the Constitution Of the United States and 70
support this Consultation II adopted, UNDER THE
PENALTIES OF PERJURY UNDER THE TERRI
TORIAL LAWS"
1t was already known that the people could
vote upon the Slavery clause, only upon the
condition of voting g for the Constitution
It nows appears that they can vote, only up
on another and impossible condition, that
they :" lUiW take an oath 10 support The CoRsti-
tution," if adopted by Congress, it being to
the decision of Congress alone that the Con-
is referred. No Free State man will
81 , w.s- take such an OATH as the contrivers of
Differentiation well know.
Thus, then, even the pretence of fair vote
upon the Slavery clause is not kept up, but
there is an open exclusion. by that most obi
GUS form of exclusion, TEST OATH, of
nine tenths of the people of Kansas.
We trust that this thing will be rung all
over the country, iterated and reiterated, un-
til the last man in the remotest rural district
understands it.
We care little that Presidents or Cabinets
may 6 accept" this Lccompton Constitution,
1t is a milestone which will carry down Pres
idents, Cabinets, and even parties, into depths
which no plummet ever reached Washing
ton Republic.

were sitting near the stove, sprang instantly

SONG OF THE HUsBANDMAN.

SONG OF THE HUSBANDMAN.
New England's soil, our happy home,
The land Of hardy worth,
Where plenty crowns the social board,
And love lights up the hearth;
The land Of rock, and mount, and glen
Ofnoblc streams that sweep
Through valleys rich with vcrdure,
In gladness to the deep;
Blue are the arching skies above,
And green the fields below,
And autumn's fruits and summers flowers
In wild profusion grow.
The towering oak, and ancient pine,
Our noble forests bear
The maple bough its blossoms
Filings on the scented air
And flock, and herd and waving grain
Each slope and upland crown
And autumn winds from laden Dough
The mellow fruit shake down;
The fragrant clover tempts the bee
Its blushing sweets to pry,
And in tall ranks the glossy maize
Points upward to the sky.
No tyraut landlord wrings our toll,
Or sends its fruit away;
The aocks upon our own green hills
Secure from plumber stray;
No bigot's scourgo, or martyrs fires,
A barb'rous creed fulfil,
For the spirit Of our stern old siros
Is with their children still
And pure to heaven our affairs rise
Upon bloodlcss sod,
Where man with free, unfcttercd faith,
Bows down and worships God
Our homes-our dear New England homes,
Where sweet affections meet
Where the cool poplar spreads its shade,
And flowers our senses greet
The lily rears her polished cup,
The rose as freshly springs,
And to the sky looks gaily up,
A in the court Of kings
And tho vine that climbs the window,
Hangs dropping from above,
And sends its grateful odors in,
With messages Of love.
Then hail to thee, New England
Thou cherished land Of ours;
Our sons are like thy granite rocks,
Our daughters like thy flowers;
We quail TO none-of none we crave,
Or bend the scr,ic knee;
The lifc-blood that our fathers gave,
Still warns the firm and free.
Free as our eagle spreads her wings,
We own no tyran,'s rod
No sovereign but the King Of kings,
No monarch but our God
