ing, February 27, 1857.
READING, March 4.
The undersghsj, members of the committee
do respectfully report, that saw the two Safes
originally agreed upon by Farrels g. Herring and
Evans & Watson, placed side by side in a fur
race, viz: The Safe muse by tho Paymaster Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Compa-
ny, in his Office at Reading. manufactured by
Farrels 81 Herring, and the Safe in use by II.
A. Lantz, in his store, manufactured by Evans
q Watson, and putin books and papers precisely
alike.
The.fre was sia.iad at 81 o'clock, A. NJ, and
kept up until four cords Of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half ohesnut top wood were
entirely consums1y the whole under the surerin-
lendence ofthe subscribers, members Of the Com
| mittee. The Safes were then cooled of with
water, after which they were opened, and the
| books and papers taken out by the Committee
and sent to H. a. Lantz's store for public exam
! ned and marked by the Committee. The books
! and papers taken from :he Safe manufactured
| oy Farrels d Herring were in our judgment,
damaged fully fifteen per cent. more than those
taken from Evansts Watson's SAFE.
We believe the above to have been fair ard
impartial trial olthe respective qualities of both
Safes.

The Message of the President of the Uni

thereof for the use of the Senate. He re-
marked that he concurred hear lily and cor

action of the Lecompton Constitution. At
an early day he would express his views
and give reasons why he believed that the
people of Kansas had not been left as the or
ganic act declared, perfectly free to form

way.
Mr.. Gwyn offered substitute, that all thu

Mr.. Davis concurred in the views of the
President on the Kansas question, and would
await the remarks Of Mr.. Douglas before he
EXPRESSED his own views
Mr.. Bigler gave notice that he should de-
fend the position assumed by the President,
to the best Of his ability and that he would
respond to Mr.. Douglas.
Mr.. Douglas accepted Mr.. Gwyn's sub

MIR. Hale spoke in opposition to the Con-
stitution formed by the Lecompton Con.
vention, arguing that it perpetuates slave
nv In Kansas no matter whether the peo-
pie accepted or rejected it.
Mr.. Seward should be glad to hear the
supporters of the President explain his po-i-
tion, for it seemed to him that the message
was very lame and impotent in its argu-
ment on Kansas, and that something more
would be required TO satisfy the people than
is contained in the document itself He
trusted that the debate on this point would
not be delayed long, for before we are
aware of it there might be civil war in Kan
sas After reviewing other parts Of the
message, he stated he hoped that it would
besnnderstood that on Utah affairs, Congress
was substantially unanimous that the
world might be assured that the Govern
ment OF the t. s. would not suffer its fame
to be tarnished, itr power insulted and the
lives of its citizens destroyed by an enemy,
entrenched though it he in the Rocky Noun
tains, and under the forms OF the Constitu-
ton.
Mr. Mason was free to declare that all
information for the last six months relative
to Kansas affairs had come from question
able sources If he understood the Presi.
dents position. and he thought he did, the
Presidents position was impugnable.
Mr.. Trumbull denied that the Legislature
Of Kansas had authority to initiate the Con-
vention. 1t was according to a speech
once delivered in the Senate, by MIR. Buch-
anan himself, an act of usurpation. Con,
gress had repeatedly refused authority to
the people of Kansas to form a State Con-
stltution. Much had been said about pop
ular sovereignty. but this now merely
amounts, according TO the expositor of the
party, to giving the free white people OF
Kansas the right to determine the condi-
ton OF a few negroes, while they are pre-
cluded from regulating their own institu-
tions in their own way.

desirable place at which to call for good
bargains in the above goods In order to

have marked down their prices to the very
lowest figures, and are now ready to serve
the public with the most marketable arti-
cles at prices which have heretofore been
considered ruinously low. Of the superior
quality of their wares there is not the
slightest room for doubt, as their numerous
and increasing customers unanimously at
test. Not only consumers, but dealers in

A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.-We have not
unfrequently noticed the great discrepancy
existing between the number of passengers
going eastward and the number travelling
to the great west, over the line of the Chic
ago d Rock Island Railroad Travel eastward
has indeed reached the lowest point in the
scale. 1t is not unfrequent that trains leave
this Depot with scarcely score of passen-
gers, barely enough to furnish the conductor
company on the way, while return trains
rarely ever fail to bring through to this
point at least three and often four passen
ger cars, densely crowded with passengers
and 1t should also be borne in mind, that
they are, for the most part, those who have
never before visited the great valley of the
Mississippi and are coming to scatter them
through diffent portions of the west to in
vest capital in lands, and chattels and be-
come permanent residents in the fair west.
This indeed, furnishes cheerful prospect to
those who have western interest at heart.
