THE ULTRAIsTs AWAKl

The Southern Ultraists are wide as.ake TO the
Importance of the impending con:isct in Con.
gress upon the Kansas question. The Rich
mond South is once more the hearty supporter
of the Administration. 1t remarks:
AT last the Kansas controversy has assumed
the shape of direct conflict betwefn the Pro.
Slavery interests of the South and the Anti.
Slavery interests of the North. Th,, Admins.
tration, supported by the bulk Of tn, Northern
Democracy, stand with the South il the strug
gle. But Black Republicanism s.reinforced
by the detection of Democrats in the North in
whose fidelity we have been accustomed to re.
pose implicit confidence. The contest will be
arduous and of doubtful issue. The Admins
tratlon will want the support Of the ablest men
IN the party, and the South will need the ser
vice OF its truest and most trusted champions.
Where stands Senator Hunter in this emer-
gencyf bis position is beyond dispute. 10
his Rockingham Letter he promulgated the
very principle upon which the Administration
and the Democracy now plant themselves in
the controversy with Walker aad the Black Re-
publican party. He asserted the absolute au-
thorlty of a Convention in the manner and mat
ter of State organization, and be rejected the
idea that Kansas should be kept ont Of the
Union because its Constitution wants the for.
mality of popular ratification
The Slavery Propsgandists will be unit on
this question, without doubt. They care little
for the welfare of the Democratic party, in com.
parison to temporary success in Kansas. Tits
a little inconsistent, however, for men who OF.
pose the reference of a Constitution to the PEG.
pie, to support Mr.. Buchanan, who processes to
dislike this principle.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1857-12-17

with the demand of the great body Of the Peo
pie, and to prevent deadly conflict in the Ter
ritory, called an extra session of the Legisla
ture, SO that members just elected bl the Peo-
pie may express suthoritatively their opposition
to the Lecompton Constitution, is inLtsnly re-
moved, and Denver, who, it is presu med, viii
execute the will of the President, in arTes;ing
any expression Of popular opinion, is dominated
in bis place. Governor Walker, who doubtless
concurs in the action Of the Secretary, is not
yet touched, but, should he attempt to proceed
to Kansas to discharge the duties of his posi-
ton, he would doubtless be decaptsesd. Mr.
Douglas has already fallen under the ban, and
we expect soon to see more open measures Of
prescription resorted to.
Meantime, the Democratic Party 10 the free
States must make its election between the Peo-
pie of Kansas and the Lecomp;on Constitution !;
between Popular Sovereignty, Douglas, and
Walker, and the Free States, on one side, aud
a base usurpation, Buchanan and Cas-, and the
Slave Olgarchy, on the ether.

THE WAR COMMENCED.

We have every reason to believe that this
morning Frederick p. Stanton, Ed, was re.
moved from the position Of Territorial S.era.

will be realized instantly by all who compra.
bend the purpose OF the President in the mat.

take that vcxetious matter ont of the arena Of
national politics So soon IS possible; Of which
policy according TO the journals now aymps.
thing politically with Mr.. Stanton, be is a!
this time a very active and uncompromising Oh.
ponent.
"This measure Of State indicates that we are
correct in proclaiming, as We have done. tia.
there can be no half way position on the Kansas
question, as it has beeu precipitated upon the
National Admins ration and CONGRESS. Those
occupying conn platform with reference
to it, side b. side with Senator'S Seward and
Hale, cannot be regarded as hereafter entitled
to Democratic fellowship. - Wash Sar, Dec Q.
The above paragraph, If true, indicates that
the Administr alton is bent on terrifying North.
ern Democrats into support Of the Lacompton
Constitution. The course of the Adnlinistra.
ton papers here looks in the same direction.
All who follow Douglas are threatened with ex.
communication from the Administration party.
The Star of last Wednesday says:
"The brief debate of yesterday in the Senate,
upon the subject, nomiually, of printing the
message and accompanying documents, leads
US to the conclusion, with great reluctance in.
deed, that Senator Douglas is about to sever
the connection heretofore existing between him.
eelf and the Democratic party Of the South aud
those of the North acting with them. That
this determination has been deliberately formed
Is hardly to be questioned for il is well known
that the distinguished Senator has had quite
week in which to come to conclusions as 70 the
proper course for him 70 take upon the lnsas
question, in the phase in which circumstances
have thrust it o. the Executive and Congress"
We are well aware that it ia not in the power
of our little and lively contemporary to excOm.
municate one of the ablest men in the Demo.
cratic party; but its course and that Of tie
UaiOn show the feeling of the Cabinet These
papers suhsist upon the patronage of the Ad.
ministratiou, and reflect its sentiments upon
controverted questions. They now are attempt.

THE SOUTHERN FEELING UPON THE MES
SAGE

There is some curiosity to know how the
people of the South will receive that portion Of
the Presidents Message which refers to Kan.
sss, and also how they will relish the position
assumed By Mr.. Douglas in regard to il. The
Washington correspondent CT the Richmond
South, an ultra Pro-Slavery journal, says:
"Th2 Southern members of the 35tb Con.
gress are by no means unanimous in approving
the expressions and sentiments of the do,u.
ment, and criticisms are INDUCED in with erea.
freedom, and, in some instances. with = decree
of severity. Indeed, it is proper to say that
that portion Of the message relating 70 Kansss
effairs has occasioned no little disappointment
on the part of the Southern members, who had
hoped that the President would have defnel
his position towards Walkers high handed and
dictatorial acts, and his misgovernment in the
Territory, so as to give them the opportunity OF
discriminating in his favor in their conscien.
tous concentrations Of the policy pursued in
Kansas, and OF uniting in sine srely and hearth
ly supporting the Administration, and givingit
the confidence Of the South. Unfortunately,
however, as 1t will be perceived, Mr. Buchanan
has wholly omitted any allusion to the official
misconduct Of Governor Walker, leaving bis
sentiments on that subject in a very grave
state CT doubt. This nni ssion was evidently
studied and made bv Me- Buchanan, for reasons
best known TO himself; bat it may entail cor
sequences which he would be glad to have
avoided.
You may be assured that the Northern oP'
position to the message will not be met on the
part of the South with any considerable amount
of zeal in sustaining the President on all parts
of the Kansas question"

In the Senate, message wt.s received from

nounced the death of his colleague, flames Bell,
IN appropriate terms. Senators Ftssenden oF

with well-chosen eulogies Of the DECEASED, and
the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Tappap, of New Hamp-

PR1NIING.-The Democratic caucus candi-

against the enormous expenses of Printing,
which reached, during the last Congress, two
millions. Whose fault is it? That Of mem

CHAPLAINs.-It will be observed bv onr Con.
gressional proceedings, that both Houses have
declined this year to elect Cheplains, and passed
resolutions inviting clergymen of this city to
make arrangements for the necessary services.
1t is regarded, we suppose, as an experiment :;
and if it work well, the practice of electino
Chaplains will be discontinued.
