NO, No, No."--Thus responded the

the house when the question was put. whe-
,her ,n.:- would oppose the admission OF
Kansas if she presented herself as free
state. Had a southern member asked the
north whether they would oppos. the "a
mission Of Kansas if she presented herself
as slave state, the fusienists would have
shriekcd' ycs!" louder than Jamaica
thundcrboit. Yet this response from the
south was nothing new or unexpected, The
published proceedings Of Congress show,
that willie the Kansas bill vas pending be-
fore the senate and house, it was not the in

Mn. WAsHBuRNs TERiCrTV-The state
mcnt made - Mr.. W4si.burn, il Congress,
that ncne Of the democratic papers in Hi
nois, had published the resolution Of the
Cincinnati Democratic National Convention
endorsing the administration of President
Pierce, was nearer the truth than was at the
time imagined. The platform reported by
the committee on platform in that conren-
ton was adopted on Wednesday, and ilnme
diately went forth over the country as EN-
braciug all the resolutions Of the conyen-
ton. The resolution in reference to Presi-
dent Pierce was adopted on Thursday, and
was thus detached from the platform. The
proceedings of the convention for Thursday
were not reported by telegraph, except the
baliottings, so that few papers, except such
rs copied the full proceedings Of the conven-
ton from Cincinnati papers published the
resolution in question. That the omission,
however. was Intentional, as Mr.. Washburn
wished to have it understood, was not true,
and the statement of Mr. W., though thus con-
structively nearly true in point Of fact, was in
its spirit no less laisehooi. That such a re-
solution had been adopted by the Cincinnati
convention was never concealed or denied by
any democratic editor in Illinois, and most G
them doubtless were ready to swear they hat
published it, until they came to examine
their files.

Dec. 26.-In the Senate, Mr.. Thompson,
Of N. j., offered resolution, which was
| adopted, in reference to the adoption of more
efficient means for the preservation OF the
lives OF seamcn and passengers wrecked on
the coasts of New Jersey and Long Island.
Without further business the Senate ad-
journcd over to Tuesday.
The House spent the day on the private
Calendar, and then also adjourned over to
: Tuesday. (3oth)
Inc. 3O,-Thc Senate adopted resolution
of enquiry into the cxpediency Of scttii g
the boundary line between California and
Utah. The movement has reference to the
difficulties existing between the Mormons
and Californians in Carson Valley. Ad-
iourned over to Friday.
In the House, after reading the minutes,
Mr. WasiLurnc, of Illinois, rose to make his
former assertion that the Democratic papers
Of that State, for the most part, did not pub
lish the resolution OF the Cincinnati Con-
veEton, endorsing Gen. Picrce'S adminIs;ra-
ton, thus by this omission regulating it.
The Galena Courier and the Springfield lie
gister had admitted that they did not pub
iish the resolution.
Messrs Marshal! & Harris, Of Illinois, took
issue, denying that the Democracy Of Illinois
avoided the doctrines and positions pre-
scented ny the Cincinnati Convention. The
resolution endorsing President Pier C was
not part of the platform. The Democratic
Convention passed one OF similar import,
which was published in all Illinois Demo
cratic papers.
The House then took up and discussed the
consular appropriation bill until adjourn
ment. Adjourned over to Friday.

PUBLIC LANDS IN ILLINols.-We learn from
the Springfield journal that the sale Of the
remainder of the lands of the Danville Dis

sold is about ls, 600 !; and the price paid was
from 81 % to 1925. The public lands in II.

Register of the land office estimates that
there is net now hundred thousand acres
unsold in the State. The officers give no.
